LET THE FARMER HAVE MIS TURN.
Mont rr.l Harwd.
1t is inconceivable tbst any of us
should really wish to refuse tbe
Lyme: Isis chance to take advantage
of an opportunity such as that which
sow knacks at his door.
This is his turn. The rest of us
have hart outer, with hie goodwill and
encouragement. He has stood behind
the fostering of a tariff -bred manufac-
turing industry, knowing that he paid
much of the cost while others got
most of the profits. lie has stood be-
hind the opening of the Kest.
although the market athejgcof his own
farm went down ib the Itessess. Het
has stood behind the gridironing of
the country with railways, which
charge all his ttsffic will bear. He
has encouraged the banks to grow
strong by accumulating the fruits of
his labors, to find them financing un-
sound projects for whose mistakes be
has to pay his full share, He has
seen the cities filled with tbe youth of
the co.intrynide, himself bereft of his
children and separated from the
friends of his ybutbf
And he is told now, when his turn
has come, that be must not have it.
that those who have thriven upon his
genets.ity will not ham it so, tbat he
would be false to his country if he did.
and—though they do not venture to
say it aloud. preferring to let money
talk—faire to them.
When, in all history. was the
farmer found faithless ? Where,
rather. have statesmen looked. except
to the fat,tn. for the bed rock of patri-
otism ?
This ie the farmer's turn for a share
of tbe good things that follow from
the normal development of a singu-
larly favored laud. In fairness to
him. and in our own interest, let the
farmer hate his turn.
SHEEP ANO LAMBS.
The Toronto World is doing good
work for the cause of reciprocity in
drawing attention to some unusual
sales of United States sheep on the
Toronto market. Last year Canada
imported sheep and lambs from the
United States to the value of 1131.492.
while Canada sold to the Culled
States sheep and lambs to the value of
$679.879. In some year; the Canadian
export of sheep and bombe to the
United States has been over one
million dollars, and this, to it re-
membered. in the face of heart- duties.
When the duties are wiped out Cana-
dian farmers will be able to market
still more of their sheep end lambs in
the United States cities. and at better
prices. Once in a while a shortage
occurs in the Canadian markets. allow-
ing the sale of a few animals from the
States, lett the figures coveting a term
of years show conclusively that the
vast bulk of the trade is from Canada
to the United States sal that the wip-
log out of the duty under reciprocity
will he to t he advantage of the Cana-
dian farmers.

Umiak growing with lucre/Going devel-
opment. When the old reciprocity
treaty was arrogated in 1888 Canada
did not collapse, and it was then a
much weaker, poorer country than
the Canada of today is. The argu-
ment ignores. too, the fact that the
United States, unless conditions
change very surprisingly-, will not be
in • position et any time in tbe- future
to withdraw with any advantage to
herself from the present agreement.
It is well known (hat the reason the
United States sought reciprocity was
because of the increasingly high cost
of living in that country, and the ne-
cessity of securing new sources of sup..
plc for the food of its people. The
population of the towns and cities of
the States is growinr more rapidly
than the rural population, and this
tendency shows no sign of abatement.
The United States, then, will con-
tinue to find it of advantage to herself
:o draw upon Canada for its food sup-
plies and will be quite as anxious es
Canada to continue the reciprocal ar-
rangement. The danger of annexa-
tion through a threatened withdrawal
of the agreement. therefore, is not as
substantial as a shadow, sod the fact
that it is seriously put forward as an
tegument against reciprocity- shows
how hard pressed the "antis" are to
find ammunition for their campaign.
Indeed, most of the Tory papers re-
alize bow futile the annexation argu-
ment ie. and are devoting themselves
to the attempt to pull the wool over
the eyes of the Canadian farmers
other producers and to persuade there
that the United States market offers
them no advantage.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
H -E -C.1 P -R -O -C -l -T -y means more
money for Goderich'a fishermen,
The London Free Press says
editorially that lag& is 'less than the
average number of votes t . a single
constituency." The Free Preva is re-
freshing in its ignorance.
The trusts on both sides of the line
have been fighting against reciprocity.
They were turned down in the United
states, and we cannot imagine that
they will get any better treatment at
the bands of the electors of Canada.
Hay- is quoted in Chicago at $27 a
ton. Under reciprocity sbipleads of
hay might be going from Ooderich
harbor to help supply the Chicago dr
mend. unless our farmers should con-
sider it disloyal to take U. 8. dollars
in exchange for their bay.
Sir James Whitney in an address at
Toronto on Saturday stated that reci-
procity would be the first step toward
making the Canadian Dominion part
and parcel of the United States.
That speech was answered before it
was uttered. Several months ago
President Taft took occasion to char-
acterize all talk of annexation as
"bosh.
sir James Whitney declares that
the whole weight of the Ontario Gov-
ernment and its organisation will be
thrown into the fight against reci-
procity. So let it be. it won't hurt
reciprocity very much, but it may
hurt Sir James' Government consider-
ably- when next it appeals to the elec-
tor.. The people of Ontario did not
put Mir James in office to prevent
them from enlarging their markets.

inpeeial to The Mall and isepira t
Motored, Aug. 7.—The immense
succors of the anti -Laurier meeting at
Three Rivers yeeterday bas caused
consternation in the ranks of the
Government supporters, as the im-
mense number of people, estimated at
from ten to fifteen thousand, who
turned out to bear Messrs. Monk and
Bourses•, and the enthusiasm dis-
played for the Opposition speakers
shows that there is a big change in
public [sentiment in the Province of
Quebec.
The above is from Tuesday's Mail
sod Empire and goer to show the
double-faced campaign that is being
waged against the Government. A
vote for Lewis Is s vote for Bourassa.
anti -reciprocity- papers are shouting
about "bard times" in the States. Let
them shout. Protective is bound to
bring hard tinier, and the reason the
United States has had periods of more
severe depression than we have
sufferer . in Canada is that the United
Stetee 1. t. been a greater sinner ib its
departure from sound fiscal principles.
Redaction of tariff is a sensible move
for the United States, and the recipro-
cal agreement for reduction of tariffs
between the States and Canada will
benefit both parties to it. The oppo-
nents of reciprocity. however, would
have us duplicate in Canada tje con-
ditions which have produced hard
times in the States.
-As ornege gydent of 1be bttgittojd
Herald declares that reciprocity will
cloee Canadian factories, throw work-
ingmen out of employment, etc. The
Herald ought to be ashamed that a
rimier of its columns should have
such a poor underetanding of the re-
ciproci"ty pact. Manufactured
artickg, as it knows. are hardly
touched by the agreement, end its
correspondent's fears ps to the throw-
ing of men out of employment are
quite groundless. The Herald as •
live newspaper should give its readers
reliable information on so important
a subject.
The Montreal Witness points out
that with a market of close on a hun-
dred millions the fonner's life will be
less of a ramble and leas anxious.
Farmers will stop losing their surplus
crops by gluts in the market when
they mono:, pay the United States
duty. 'There are United States buy-
ers all through the country just. now
looking for hay," says The Witness,
"though it coots four dollars a ton duty
to get it across the line. With the
duty off. the Oanadien farmer would
get four dollars more a pen for his
hey. which would be very nice for
him." More important is wheat.
Late prices showed $1.011 at Minneapo-
1ie. as compered with 931 cents at Win-
nipeg, and the Canadian wheat is of bet:
ter quality and in an open market -
would command a higher price than
the United States wheat. •'In 1907
and 1908 our tarmers sent a million
bushels of oats to the United States.
upon which the duty was fifteen cents
a bushel. If there had been no duty
the probability is that our to"mere
would have secured from ten to
twelve cents more s bushel for many
times more oats, as well as a large,
study market. On barley the duty is
thirty cents, and who can doubt that
the Canadian farmer would benefit if
this were removed ?'' These are eon-
aider ations for our fat -mere when elec-
tion day is approacbiog.

the United States will know whom to

farm without a tax in the great
