CANADIANS, KEEP YOUR WEATHER EYE OPEN. Tho policy of the United States is ono which always has' in view t4eir securing the big and of the stick. Their thoroughly protective policy h b been the moans of build- ing up hone industries to an enurm- ous•extent. Year by year her im- ports aro decreasing at the expense of England and other foreign coun- ties. Tho only salvation for British manufacturers and farmers is the adoption by Britain of a policy, somewhat on the lines laid down by the United Empire Trade League. A Trade Federation among the 350,000,000 of people forming the British Empire. Proleation against all other countries and, as nearly as possible, free trade among the nations forming the British empire. During the past year the imports of the United States decreased by over $3,000,000. This is but the beginning of the end which will see the imports of the United States reduced to comparatively insignifi- cant proportions. Curtailed to raw materials which climatic and other conditions forbid them from pro- ducing. This is the inevitable re- sult wrought in a country with such varied natural resources as the United States and whose industries are fostered, encouraged and kept on their fee; by a genuine protect- tive policy. Then as supplementary to pro- tection the United States have dove- tailed into it reciprocity. But Yankee reciprocity is merely an- other form of protection. They say to other countries, the South Ameri-• Can reaablica, Cuba eto.; "If you will admit our products into your countries free, or • at a merely nominal duty, we will admit free the products of your country, which we cannot economically produce. By this recent reciprocity form of protection the United States last year increased their exports by up- wards of $93,000.000. However, it is not likely that those countries who have been' deluded into this jug• handled reciprocity will continue to permit the. balance of trade to be turned against them. They are already gettiug their eyes opened to the evil effects of reciprocity without reciprocal and mutual advantages The trade and revenue returns show in the most decisive manner possible that while their customs duties have fallen off, so have their exports to the United Status. It is this kind of reciprocity that trio United States and the Grits of Canada would delude the people of this country into. This glamour of reciprocity, fr'ater'nization with our neighbors of the saruo blood, language and origin 'tray do well enough for after din• ner speeches./' But it will not"buy the child frock," or "make the Canadian kettle boil". This American recip'rooity while- - hile- it might in a few instances increase amour experts by enabling Americans to buy from us in some "lines more cheaply than they oath produce them, it would in other oases enable -them-to- untimely l =ua i'n-our -awn 0 market to a much greater extent. So far as American proposals of recipropjty are concerned, by what we can learn from the utterances of their leading statesmen and press, it would,. result, as it has done in the experience of the other countries above referred to, in lessening our trade at both ends -in -decreasing our exports to them and in increas- ing our imports -in injuring our nanufacturiug industries and ruin- ing our farmers. IS CANADA A NATION I Wo answer the question in the affirmative at onoe. Hypercritical careers at our status, pseudo nationa- lists and annexationists to the Con- trary. Canada .is a nation though not possessed of imperial power -is a nation endowed politically with all the attributes the tern] implies, and endowed with material attributes and resources more than sufficient to justify the appelatiop. England, or Britain, i°a an Empire. And England is proud of her im• Aerial position and so are the vari- ous nations which go to make up her imperiality. The thinking people of Canada have no jealousy of the guardian- ship exercised over us by the mother country ; not any more than a dutiful son is jealous of the guardianship of his parents. Thero is nothing of the Bourbon about English statesmen. Though they may not forgot anything, they learn practical lessons from mis- takes made by their predecessors or themselves. It is only your Radi- cals and Grits who never learn any- thing. Liberal•Reformers and Lib- eral -Conservatives like Hon Oliver Mowat and the late Sir John A. Macdonald admit the imperialism of Britain while defending the nationality of Canada. This imperium in imperio, -this form of responsible government within another fixed form of re- sponsible government may not be clear' to the minds of demagogues and political charlatans, but it is quite clear to the masses. Previous to the revolution by which Britain lost the ojiginal thir- teen United States colonies many of the British statesmen did not understand that a nation could exist within a nation or, more properly speaking, within an empire. Un- fortunately this class were at that time in power, and the broader - visioned statesmanship of Burke and Pitt was overruled. The imperial government of that day could not understand the differ• ence between an empire and a nation. All English statesmen grasp the idea now. They understand that a natio? is an aggregation of individu- al citizens, bound together in an equal relation to the state of which they form a part. They understand that an empire is an aggregation of political bodies bound together by a common relation to the parent state, but whose relation to it may vary from the closest dependency to the loosest adhesion. Canada is a nation whose soil is as completely British as is the soil of any part of imperial territory. Even Laurier with all his mouth- ing about national "aspirations did not forget to tell his compatriots Hilar Canedlr••Iiati ffer1-361'fgliV life 0 sti exercise of any political power that the imperial government did not grant. Mr. Mowat says the same. Can Ida is in foot a nation -an aggregation of individual citizens bound together by a- common re- lation to the parent state. In order to perpetuate our •na• °tionality we must have a parliament composed of men who believe in that nationality. We must send •men to parliament who know and belieye we are not a dependency of Britain and who will not legislate to make ua a dependency of the United States or any other country. We want manly men iu perils*. ment who will help Canada td hold her own against the world -men who are not anxious to help their party into the flesh pots of power by belittling their own country. A BOOM IN EXPORTS. An Ottawa special states that there is a splendid showing in the trade and navigation returns for the five months of the -current fiscal year. As oompared with 1890nthere is a total net increase in the exports of $5,946,494. The total exports are valued at $63,085,287, as against $57,138,793 last year. Producte,.,of the mina increased $614,473; fisheries, $1,051,492; an- imals and their produce, $699,217; agricultural! products, $6,862,125; manufacturers, $171,601. Tho effect of the bountiful harvest are -seen in the great increase in agricultural products. /Products of the forest decreased $3,368,849; miscellaneous articles, $140,946, and coin and bullion $33,619, leaving the net increase as stated, $5,946,494. The decrease of $663,000 in the imports entered for consumption may be taken as a further healthy sign, as indicative of a more cau- tious commercial programme. The value of goods exported for the five months exceeds the amount entered for consumption by the very large amount of $14,591,150. EDITORIAL NOTES. Gladstone's opinion of the Home Rule party would have greater applicability to -day to the Quebec Grits than it did to the Irish party when he expressed' it. In Leeds in 1881 Mr. Gladstone said : "For nearly the first time in the history of Christendom a small body of men have arisen who are not ashamed to preach the doctrine of plunder." The Canadian Grits are splendid designers of ruin. They are of the same kidney with the Radical rascals of the French Revolution who were the a'rthors of the most stupendous scenes of murder, rapine, anarchy and misery tho world has ever seen. What Burka said of the Fronoh revolutionists may apply aptly to the handful of Canadian would be revolutionists :-"They have shown themselves the ablest architects of ruin who have hitherto existed in the world. In a short space of time they have pulls to the ground their army, the navy, their com- merce and a culture, their arts and their manufactures." It is true the Canadian revolutionists have not yet effected this, but the intention is the essence of all policies, "and -Whit the riifention Is -may -beiinter- preted from declared utterances, and the declared utterances of the Grits are to the effect that the whole country is already what they wish it to bo -bankrupt and ruined.

SALT ON WHEAT. -The Western Farmer. says The use of salt on avheat lands is quite in vogue among the farmers of Columbia, Dodge, Adams, and other adjoining coun- Hee, iu Wisconsin. Excel len effects are Elaimed for it, particularly when used on rather light soils. It has been found, however, that care should be ,used not to sow too much per acre. Too large an amount will kill vegetation. From 200 to 300 lbs per acre is recommended. Those who have tried it say that there is a decided improvement in the stiff- ness of the straw and plumpness of the berry: The salt used is that which is sold cheaply for agricultural purposes.
