as the discussion has yet reaehed, the
clevelopnaent seems to me a figment out
of which each one is allowed to form
whatever idea he chooses. If American
napital and enterprise took hold of our
-dormant possibilities, the farmer would
participate in his due share of the gain.
-We imagine, however, that such wourd
not be the caser at least it would depend
very largely on the terms'of the union.
•Capital and enterprise are not yet quite
cosmopolitan, and vacillating policies
always tend to discourage the influx of
aspitaI. At present there is a large in-
-vestment of capital in our artificial in-
einatries and the abolition of the present
protectral system and the possible un-
certain rejection -of the treaty at its ex-
piration would have a powerful influ-
ence to discourage the free influx of
capital. "Capital.flows freely through
3 country but rarely across theborders."
Besides when large sums of money- are
required for foreign investments, we
have yet to learn that the Americans
have anything more than they require,
on the contrary, if 6% could be made on
money in Canada, and at the same time
the capital were secure there would be
millions raised in one day in Britain.
On the whole the United States is by
nature an exporting nation, her exports
have been steadily increasing sinee
1875 and are snailar to those of .Canada,
owing to her abundance of fertile land.
She possesses the three requisites of
prodadtion, land, labor, and capital.
Texas, California, and Dakota have
583,089 square miles of land, whilst
England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland,
France, and Germary only have 537,059.
Neve York alone has 47,000, as large
as England and Wales. Now with such
facts as these before us, with her great
army of capitalists ready to embark in
any business in which they can obtain a
good interest on their money, with an
abundance of fertile land and cheap
'labor, is there any sense in supporters of
Commercial Union telling us that the
Americans are non-productive consuna-
ers, willing as Mr. Wiman says, to take
our produce at any price. If such is not
"sentimental rubbish," I have failed to
estimate the true force of the argument.
The fallacy of Mr. Wiman's general-
ization is not far to seek, living, as he
does in the city of New York, he fancies
that the whole population of sixty mil-
lions are non-productive consumers,
whereas the majority of them are pro-
ducing their own necessaries, and not
wishing to buy but to sell, and if they
are not engaged in rearing their own
' horses and in growing their own barley,
it is because they are doing better at
something else. Now, the agent of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture for the State of New York reports
thus, "Farmers are more in debt than
they were ten years ago" and that "30
per cent. of the farnis are mortgaged for
two-thirds of their value." On the -con-
trary according to a late report of the
Bureau of Statistics, the value of farms,
stock, and implements, in Ontario has
increased 12 per cent during the last
four years. Again if, as, is supposed,
. the Indian wheat should supplant the
American wheat in the markets of
Britain, upon what will the labor and
capital now employed in the annual ex-
port of 100,000,000 bushels be employed ?
If it will pay the Ontario farmer to en-
gage in the rearing of horses or the grow-
ing of barley, surely it will pay the
American farmer to ' o that if the
Ontario farmer wont

WC apprehend the

discuss again the negative argument i. e.
that our native artificiad industries
would be destroyed. You say Mr.
Nicholls cannot substantiate it, well, if
he 09.1111a it would be very unlike the
statement of the case which he has al-
ready put forward. Suffice it to say
that it is proven in almost every manual
on political science and is the easiest

team proceeded to Seaforth some time
ago and gat "downed" in 4 straight
games. The news could hardly be
believed here as our boys were looked
upon as being invincible. The way they
defeated the Stretforda some time ago
almost justified our belief, and all
wonder what kind of boys these Seaforth
chaps are.—At the recent meeting of the
Grand Priory of Canada at Brockville
