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 horses and barley • Tf-I E HURON EXPOSITOR. • 5 gain by exporting WC apprehend the gain veould be only -temporary. I shall 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 point of the three to substantiate. A. T. M. Ifietaxs.
