Prices Right We Want Your Trade PRESIDENT TAFT LOOKS KORTHAAD- - Under Reciprocity, Ho Says, Our Tim- her and Other Resources Would be Available to America President Taft of the United States spoke to the Associated Press and the American Newspaper Publishers' Asso- ciation on Reciprocity and why it should be adopted, in New York on Friday, April- 28th. Ilia reasons for wanting Peciprbeity with Canada are contained in the following: "Another and a very conclusive rea- son for closing the contract," said Mr. Taft, "is the opportunity which it gives us to inerease the supply of our natural resources, which, with the wastefulness of children we have wantonly exhaust- ed. Tho,,tkinber resources of Canada, which will open themselves to us in- evitably under the operation of this agreement, ie now apparently inex- haustible. I say 'apparently' inex- haustible, for if the same procedure were to be adopted in respect to them that we have followed in respect to our own forests, I presume that they too might be exhausted. But fortunate- ly for Canada and for us, we and they have learned much more than wo rea- lized tiro decades ago with respect to the necessity for pisopor methods of forestry and of lumber cutting. And hence wo may be safe in saying that under proper modern methods the tim- ber resources open to us in Canada may be made inexhaustible, and we may de- rive ample supplies of timber from Canadian sources to the profit of Can- ada and for our own benefit, "There aro other natural resources, which I need not stop to enumerate, which will become available to us as if our own if we adopt and maintain commercial union with Canada; and this is one of the chief 'reasons that ought to commend the Canadian agree- ment to the far-seeing statesmanship of leaders of American public opinion. "Bub there are other—even broader —grounds than this that should lead to the adoption of this agreement. Canada's superficial area is greater than that of the United States between the oceans. or course it has a good deal of waste land in the far north, but it has enormous tracts of unoccu- pied land, or land settled so sparsely as to be substantially unoccupied, which in the next two or three decades will rapidly Require a substantial and valu- able population. The Government is one entirely controlled by the people, and the bond uniting the Dominion with the mother country is light and almost imperceptible. There aro no restrictions upon the trade or economic development of Canada which will interfere in tho slightest with her carving out her inde- pendent future. Tho attitude of the people is that of affection toward the mother countryand of a sentimental loyalty towarher Royal head. But for practical purposes the control ex- ercised from England by legislation or Parliament is imponderable. "Canada has now between seven and Dight millions of -people. They are a hearty, temperate, persistent race; brave, intelligent and enterprising, sharing or inheriting the good qualities of all their ancestors, and with a na- tional pride in their Dominion that grows with the wonderful success and prosperity that have attended them in the last three decades. They are good neighbors; we could not have better neighbors. It is more than a hundred years since a hostile shot was fired across the border, and they are like us because our conditions are similar and because our traditions aro similar. They are more restricted in their immigra- tion laws-. than we, and perhaps they grow less rapidly, but they have be- fore them a wonderful expansion in population, in agriculture and in busi- ness, and they offer to any nation with whom they have sympathetic relations and with whom it is profitable for them to deal a constantly increasing market and an ever-increasing trade. "Why should we not have a closer union with Canada? ' Think of • the ab- surdity of separating Manitoba and Minneapolis by as great a distance es Manitoba and Liverpool, when certain- ly Providence intended that their sep- aration, socially and commercially, should only be that of their geographi- cal distance, Canadians have furnished us with a large number of our best citi- zens. We are giving them a large number of the pick of our young farm- ers. armers. Let us open the gateway between us. Let us give to both countries the profit of the trade that God intended between us. Let the political Govern- ments remain as they are. Let us abo- lish arbitrary and artificial obstructions to our association with our friends upon the north and derive the mutual bene- fit that it will certainly bring." Ii} conclusion the President said: "I have said that this was a critical time in the solution of the question of reed- proeity. It is critical because, unless it is now decided favorably to recipro- city, it is exceedingly probable that no such opportunity will ever again come to the United States. The forces which are at work in England and in, Canada to separate liet by a Chinese wall from the United States and to make her part of an Imperial commercial band reach- ing from England around the world to England again, by a system of prefer. ential tariffs, will derive en impetus from the rejection of this treaty, and if we would have reciprocity with all the advantages that I have deeeribod, and that I earnestly and sincerely believe will follow its adoption, we must take it now or give it up forever." PURCHASES FROM THE STATES For the fiscal year ending 81st March, 1910, Canada's purchases from the United States were $223,501,809, their purchases from ,the $113,160,778. t deed Ivor the .pas decade the returns in round figures show imports from the United States of $1,600,000,000, ex- ports to the United States of $800,- 000,000. 800;000,000. In other words seven million Canadiasi0 purchased twice an much from the tutted States as ninety .mil- lion people Iii the United States pur- chasod from Canada. Fell 6o Feet.

AVERAGE PRICES Of FARM STOCK Statements Showing the Rapld In. crease In the Live Stock in- dustry In Canada The total value of lige stock on the farms of Canada in 1910 was $593,768,- 000, which was $34,979,000 more titan in 1909, The price per heed of horses was $130,72 in 1910, of milch cows $42.00 against $86,36, of other eattle $30.90 against $28,81, and of sheep $6 against $5.89. Swine alone showed n drop in average price, being $11,30 per head against $11.80. The total value of horses was $293,398,000 for last year against $278,789,000 for 1909, of mileh cows $126,613,000 against $108,601,000, of other cattle $131781,000 against $127,- 320,000, and. of sheep $15,819,000 against $15,735,000. The value of swine fell from $34,308,000 in 1909 to $31,157,000 in 1910. The highest average price of horses was in Saskatchewan, of milch cows, other horned cattle and sheep in On. tario, and of swine in Quebec. Horses three years old and over reached the highest price in British Columbia, where the average was $225. Swine per 100 pounds live weight ranged from $0.50 in Manitoba to $9.62 in Quebec. The price of unwashed wool was 18 cents in 1910 and 17 cents in 1909 and of washed wool 24 cents for each year. These are the figures of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. - When the Western Canadian farmers waited upon the Dominion Government in December,. their leaders presented certain statistics representing their fin- ancial positipn. Mr. F. W. Green, for instance, referred to "The vast aggre- gate wealth represented by this delega- tion Each member of the western part of it we estimate has half a section of laud valued with its equipment at, at )oast, $10,000. There are 30,000 in our Western organizations which means an investment of $300,000,000. If, as our friendly rivals declare, we aro only 25 per cent. of the Western farmers, we would represent the enormous aggregate wealth of $1,200,000,000." - "If we reflect that the farmers who are hero (Ottawa) from the Western prairies " said Sir Wilfrid Laurier in his reply, 1' and those whom they repre- sent have been in the West, in their present homes, not more, on the aver- age, than twenty years, we cannot but think that to have accumulated wealth to the amount of $300,000,000, does not argue a very bad condition of things at all. And if we reflect that the actual accumulated wealth of all the farmers of the western prairies is $1,500,000,000, I still repeat that although things aro not as good as they might be, they are not so very bad." AMERICAN TRUSTS Do Canadians Want for Canada the Pernicious Influences of These Organizations? Mr. John M. Downie, a resident in Ontario a few years ago, but now a broker in San Francisco, wrote to the St. Thomas Times recently, showing the injurious effect upon the United States of the large industrial trusts. Mr. Downie said: I could cite a half dozen instances of the ruinous workings of the trusts sight here in San Francisco. If it was not for the United States Steel Trust and other big trusts, this town would be 25 per cont. better off than it is. Tho Union Iron Works, a few years ago, run- ning as an independent concern, gave em- ployment to 10,000 men in San Francisco. The United States Steel Company looked on it, saw that it was good, and proceed,• ed to gobble it up. . To -day about 500 men are employed just doing repair work. That is what the trusts do to a country. Instead of having a thousand independent factories scattered all over the country helping to build up and'make prosperous hundreds of differ- ent eonununities, they concentrate in one or . two places, and make one plant do what otherwise would give employment to a dozen." AMERICAN TRADE Enormous Output of Manufactures Seek an Output An examination of the trade statis- tics of tho United States throws an interesting side light upon that coun- try's present overtures for Recipro- city with Canada. For the nine months ending September, 1910, ex- ports of domestic merchandise of every kind from - the United States were $1,193,321,612, of which $210,- 490,966 210,490,966 were manufactures for fur- ther use in manufacturing, and $401,- 684,694 were lnanufaotures ready for consumption. The sum of these two, $612,625,660, accounts for 61 per cent. of all of their exports put together. But this is not crediting the exports of manufactures with a class known as "foodstuffs, partly manufactured" which aro valued at $180,159,193. If one regards this also as legitimately forming a part of the exports of man- ufactured goods, it means that of everything the United States exported for the nine months ending Septem- ber last manufactured goods amount- ed to over 66 per cent. Applying the average for the first nine months to the last three, it indi- cates that the exports for the year Of manufactures ready for consump- tion and Manufactures anu aetures for further use in manufacturing will pass the $800,000,000 mark. This Is an enormous amount for which to have to find an outlet, and underlying the present agitation in the United States for Reciprocity with Canada, Is an earnest desire to open wider tho mar- kets of this country for exploitation by their manufaoturers, Rapid increase. The Scientific American gives the following instancesof rapidity of re- prodnction: "A common weed, the Sisymbrhtm Sophia, prodnces three- gnarters of a trillion seeds, and these, If they all grew and multiplied, would in three years cover the whole land surface of the globe. Darwin catcu• fated that the nloweet breeding of all animate, the elephant, would in 750 years, from a single pair, produce 10,- 000,000 individual, Rabbits d a won from a tingle pair, produce 1,000,000ld individuate -in four or five yew.
