Fisher referred to the Stale of affairs

ing abused to finch an extent as to ob-
struct the business of Parliament.
He hinted that it might he found

Herr is • paragraph from The New
York Independent that makes an in-
teresting addition to the reciprocity
discussion :
"It is an astounding proposition
that we Should deliberately be directed
4. legislate away •II our advantages
wholly in the interest of ('anada, that
we should annually throw away "t
our revenues 115,O00,01M1 in exchange
for the aurreuder by Caoada of a pus. -
▪ $2.509,010 i
ua-
$2,500,IMr1; that we should open
tbe market of IIL,I0I,Is1) people to the
market of 14,000,000. The proposition
is so startling that it staggers belief !
As • business proposition it is wholly
indefensible. Advantages under it
will accrue to Canada without any
corresponding advantages to the
United states. It selects out of all
classes the farmer and deprives him
alone of the protection accorded to all
other Hawes of producers. It compels
him to produce for a free trade mar-
ket and forces him to buy in a pro-
tected market""
This is somewhat different from the
cry of the Canadian anti -reciprocity
press, that Canada gives all the ad -
vantages without securing any in re-
turn. When the agreement goes into
effect it will be shown that the alarm-
ists on both sides were .vrong. and
that the agreement is beneficial to
both countries.
One of the roost humiliating
features of the reciprocity discussion
is that Canadian newspapers repeat-
edly insinuate that C'anedians are so
lacking' iu self-reldanow that it is
dangerous for them to have any deal-
ings with the sharp Yankees.. As The
Montreal Herald says :
' U.S. FARMERS OPPOSE r"OM OUR CONTEMPORARII$-
RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA NOT
TO THEIR LIKING.
Immense Delegations Visit Washing-
ton to Protest Against the Open-
ing of Their Market to Canadian
Farm Products Farmers of North-
western States Nearly Unanimous.
A despite's from Washington, D.
C.. dated May 11. *bows the attitude
many farmers of the United Slates
take towards the reciprocity bill :
This was a great field day for the
anti-l'anadian reciprocity formers.
Front Michigan. Obit'. New York,
M' 'sots, the Dakotas, and from
Wisconsin they swooped down on
Coogre-a, threatening with almost
every other word that the man who
votes for this measure will forever
hese the farmerri support of the sev-
eral States.
The Michigan men did not have an
opportunity to be heard today. bell,
expect to get the floor before the hen -
ate committee on finance tomorrow.
But they were present, beadeJ by Ex -
Governor Warner and Dr. Snyder, of
tbe State •grieultural csllege, and
they drank in with evident relish
every word adranced aggainst reci-
procity- by the various speakers.
The situation in the big committee
room was remarkable. Probably
never before bad eco many 1trmers
tean gathered together in Washing-
ton. And a dramatio element was
added to mark the complete division
of ser invent in the country on the
recipe .-ity question. when a delega-
tion fo ed their way into the already
over•c: vded Hoot. each man of them
bearin ,n hie breast a large badge,
with L....e words: "Buffalo, 10U per
cent. for reciprocity." These men
were the first to appear in the inter-
ests of that elusive individttal, the
ultimate C011ettmet'.
The Minoesota ,men were the first
to be heard, add it war evident they
bad been well coached. Henry M.
Flagg was master of ceremonies, and
read at memorial protesting against
the agreement as unfair and injurious
to the farmers of the United States.
"We repudiate the action of President
Taft, of the inanutacturing cgncerns,
chambers of commerce and the (haat
Northern Railway in attempting to
force this bill through Congress with-
out giving the people at large an op-
portunity of ezpresviog their view..."
The principal speaker for the dile-
Th•tion was P. V. Collins, editor of
e Northwestern Agriculturist, of
Minneapclia, who had been largely re-
spcgsible for the agitation against
the bill animist the farmers in his
State. He said his paper goes into
one-third of the booms of the State.
"Since the. civil war, s'uce I have
known anything about public affairs.,
there" he. newer been a question
which has so aroused the farmers of
the Northwest," be declared. He said
he had. devoted the whole of his last
issue to the subject and copies dis-
tributed Contained a large legend on
the front page seeding : 'The crisis
confronting Northwestern farmers is
Canadian tree trade miscalled *recipro-
city' ; farmer., you must not belittle
the seriousness of this tremendous at-
tack upon your markets."
It never ceases to be irritating to
the average Canadian, this reiterated
suggestion that it we allow ourselves
to do business in a natural way with
our neighbors of the United States we
must oecesear ily lose our identity. If
there is one thing on which the,Cana-
dian lather prides himself it is that he
can look atter 'himself wherever he
may rte and whatever the occasion.
And when it is, all boiled down, the
argument against the tariff agreement
is trot that we will lose by it hot that.
• e cannot trust ourselves to profit by
it. Because somebody is thought to
be whispering shout "aunexettou" in
some ante -room at Washington, we
in Canada must run hotne and hide
our heads under the pillow. So com-
pletely erroneous an estimate of the
Canadian character has never before
been offered for acceptance. la these
days. when one calls himself a Cana-,
dian, he does not name the word
humbly, or in any way indicate hie
belief that it is the badge of an in-
ferior existence. T h e cartoonists:

GOOD ALL ROUND.
Two Stades of Grass Where One Grew.
Says President Hays of Reciprocity.
Charles M. Hays, president of the
Grand Trunk and Grand Trunk
Pacific Railways, has been telling the
English people through the medium
of The London Times something of the
plans of the Company in the ,natter
of ocean ateamsblps and also gives his
views of the reciprocity agreement be-
tween Canada and the United States.
As Mr. Hays adopted an attitude of
some reserve on the subject in ('anada,
his remarks now made touching the
proposed treaty are of interest :
"Nobody. of course. can predict ex-
actly how it. will work out in every
direction : but, if it is a good thingto
make two blades of grass grow wre

Mr. Collins went on to say that the

said it would he in the fare of the
guarantee on bonds to that extent.
Petitions Against Pact.
Mr. Collins then presented a huge
roll of petitions. which he said con-
tained the names of 35,0110 farmers, of
whom 30,000 were in Minnesota,
againet the reciprocity bill. That
meant one in every six of the farm -
era of that State. "like Cinciunatue
of old, these fanners have left their
plows to take up the reins of govern-
ment in the right to petition," paid
the Minneapolis editor, ecstatically.
There was little or no support for the
bill in his 8tate, he said, and he had
published every letter received fayor-
ing it, numbet4og not over twelve in
all.
