to the United States. Indeed of sending

tbe farmers fed it to their stock.at home,
sold the peoduee as cheese and butter,
and their crops, instead of beiag export-

The abrogation of the treaty also
gave to Canada ample opportunity to
discover herself, Even the largest towne
along the border were of little account,
and the most thriving conununities were
either surrounded by, or ou the edge of,
the bush. Agriculture was in a pioneee-
ing condition,' and commerce had soaroto

I have said that the difference be-
tween the xeciprooity times of 18a1-136
and to -day, is a whole nation of dif-
ference. Canada has arrived, not in the
guise of a poor relation of Republic or
Empire, but in the right of leer own
unlimited dower. You eau no more re- •
vert to the old Canadian idea of reel-
procity, than you canreplace the loco-.
motive by the stage -coach. To discuss.
the possibility of the absorption of Can-
ada, by the 'united States is utterly to
forsake practical polities. Tou must real.
ize that Canada is a nation so much big-
ger titan any tariff wall, that she can
afford to be, as she is, undisturbed • by
It.
But that is not to say that the tariff
is a closed book between Canada and
the United States. Cienditions are con-
tinually changing, and although the
United States tariff against Canada pro-
duced the Canadian tariff again.st the
'United States, and, incidentally, matte

If I were An .American 1 think I would
be prepared to go a long way with Alth•

Every year the millers of Minneapolis

Within seven years they will most likely
be getting it through an open tariff
gate. I eon conceive. of of no formidable
oppositiou to such a. eliange; for when
the deciding factor in wheat prices is the
export trade, interior prices will not, in
normal years, be appreciably affected by
the relatively mall tunount of wheat
that will be grown on ale side of per-
allel forty-nine, and eaten on the other.
Of the principal netural ennelacte 61
both eountries, lumber and pulpwood re-
main to be considered. Here the Oen.-
dian advantage is indisputable; and some
of our public men and journalists seem
inelined to make more than enough of
It. -It is singular in that it brings ex-
port duties into the discussion, and, to
that extent, complicates the larger pro-
blem.
The depletion of thehatimber reserves
is Most ominous forothe United States.
The exhaustion of the titiiber supplies
of Northern Europe is even more hu-
minent. If there be apinexhaustible
supply of pulpwood anywhere, it is in
Canada. With a population of sex mil-
lions, we have about 1,000,000,000 ;toms
of pulpwood. The talked States, with
it population of eighty millions,. hae
600,000,000 acres. But the supply in
Canada will not be inexhaustible un-
less we enforce more conservative
methods of cutting; and insist on burn-
ing of brush. The
FRIGHTFUL 17ESTRUCTION
by forest fires dyeing the lest quarter
of a century will not be repeated. If I
thought our timber was as near clis-
appearance as some of my Menai do,
r might advocate, as a measure for the
near future, an export duty on pulp-
wood, on pulp itself, and perhaps on
paper, But at seems Co me that evith
the measures which we hope to see
widely introduced without delaythere
-is no need to be alarmed ete the tamed -
Ian pulpwood situation, feet the duty
on lumber remain as it ist, ou., both
sidee of the line. Let the United States
admit pulpwood and pulp free -f do
not think Canadian industry would
suffev. .
If pulpwood and pulp were put on the
United States free list, the priee of
paper would be conditioned by tbe
coot of manufteeture nearest the supply
of raw material. The pulpwood of the
United States is being used up three
times faster, than it grows, or can
grow under -wise renditions ef hus-
bandry. The approach to exhaustion
isatherefore, rapid, sure unless a new,
pet -maxima • sopply can be secured, the
papermakers of the United States will
either put pried up to figures which
will create an effective rebellion of all
the newspapers in the country, or they
will keep prices within reasonable
bounds by making the best of the op.

(which will always redound to the
atatesmans'hio of President Roosevelt),
leill be found the best key to the future
politics and policies of this continent.
"Natural resources" is another name
for raw material. Hitberte, itt consid-
ering tariffs, American statesmen have
seaumed the utmost exploitation of the
eountry's natural resources. So they put
a tax on Canadian coal, and iron ore,
for instal -toe. Now they are justly be-
coming alarmed at the depletion ol the
Ammican supply of coal andiron ore.
Broadly speaking, it scone tomo that
when this continent was laid out, sev-
eral nautili. free trade zones were pto-
vide& whieli were also meant to be op-
erative without hindering the develop -
event of two kindred, but independent
nations, within its coasts.
There is one, indeed, that is outside
the com•ts. The savocates of unrestriet•
ed reciproeity found one of their argu-
ments in the sea. They deelare, rightly,
that it is foolisit to tax the people of
the northeastern States in order to pre-
vent their firth food being tended near
to where it le caught. The inexhansti-
, lee supplies of fish in the northern wa-
ters should be landed in Nova Scotia,

The market gardeners around Paris do
lad dreani of waiting for spring before
they raise spring vegetables. As one mau
put it, they move the olinutte of Monte

This they do at enormous expense in
money and in time. The gardens when-
ever possible are placed on land with a
slope to the southeend are well protected
by walls on the north and east, wails
built to reflect light as well aa to give
protection from the uortheast winds.
The ground is practically coeered with
glass, not as in a greenhouse tette by
glass frames in the open, throe light
frames of uniform ma, twelve feet by
four and a half; and also by glass bells.
These, toe, are of a uniform size about
