0ODRIUCH. THURSDAY. JULY 4 1812
CANADA'S NATAL DAY.
Dominion Day is not observed ss it
should be. Outside of the religious
holidays, it is the greatest anniversary
in the list for Canadians and should be
so recognized. As1hepassing y'ealegive
more and more promise of a great future
for this young nation, and the pride of
its sons and daughters in the national
achievements mounts higher and
higher, succeeding anniversaries of
the day of the Dominion's birth
should register the growing na-
tional consciousness, recall the his-
tory of the past, and lire the am-
bition of Oanadiap mirth for greater
things in the future. The day might
well he marked by demonstrations of •
more distinctively patriotic character,
in place of the rather meaningless
celebrations which are now the rule,
where there is any celebration at all.
We do not like the epreadeaglelsm of
the Fourth of July across the border,
but there should be a happy medium
between the extreva.ant way in
which our neighbors celebrate and the
indolent fashion in which a majority
of Canadian communities allow their
great national anniversary to pass.
Why should we not make up our
minds to have • celebration of the
right kind in Goderich next year?
REMEDY SHOULD I!E BOUGHT.
The census report shotes that the
urban population of Canada increased
in the last decade (12 per cent., while
the aural population increased only 17
percent. In Ontario the rural popula-
tion shows an actual decrease in the
ten years. This is an alarming state
of af=ire, and it should be the busi-
ness of those in authority, in muni-
cipal. Provincial and Federal affairs.
to Beek the remedy and apply it. The
big cities are draining the country to
an extent that presages disaster. The
lure of city lite draws thousands of
men and women who would he better
off in the country or the smaller
towns,but who, once drawn within the
cities' maze, cannot extricate them-
selves. The placing of premiums up-
on industrialism, as opposed to agri-
culture. by bonuses and protective
tariffs, has given the people a false
conception of the relative importance
and dignity of these two callioge. has
drawn labor away from the farms and
has placed financial burdens uufairly
upon agriculture. The result is that
agricultural production has not kept
pace with the growth of urban pops
lation : a result that is disastrous all
around, for the consequent increase in
the prices of foodstuffs has made life
in the city s serious problem (except
for the comparatively few especially
favored ones), while there hasnotbeen
a corresponding increase in the profits
of agriculture. Not until the proper
balance between city and country
population is restored will the "high
cost of living' cease to be a subject of
anxious discussion.
THE PRESIDENTIAL LINE-UP.
The Republican national conven-
tion, amid scenes which apparently
marked • serious disruption in the
party, nominated President Taft. for
another term et the White House.
Theodore Roosevelt and his follower•*,
having failed to get their own way in
the Republican ranks. are forming a
third party, and the irrepressible
Teddy may come forward as an "inde-
pendent" candidate. The Democrat•,
aper a protracted minim of their na-
tional ooevention and the taking of
'orty-six ballots. have nominated flow-
erier Woodrow Wilson of New Jer-
sey, and. barring Menders in the nem -
pales of the neat few months, have

One of the most absurd erguowente
against reciprocity which still Iluger
in the winds of Oonservative leader-
tbst ' writers is that It would give the
United States trusts entry to Canada.
All the tariffs in the world cannot
keep out a trust. In fact, tariffs are
what the touts feed on. There is
nothing et the pretreat time to prevent
a United States trust from establish-
ing itself in Canada and using the
Canadian tariff as a *belle*, just as
Canadian trusts do. It is greatly to
the advantage of the trusts (hat both
countries should retain tbeir tariff*, aa
they can operate more profitahly to
themselves within a restricted area.
To throw down the tariff walls be-
tween the two countries would be to
cripple the operations of the trusts;
end to throw down all tariff walls
would he to render the trusts harmo,'
lase. There are already, and have
been for years, branches of United
States trusts in Canada. and their
agents were among the most vocifer-
ous loyalty.shouters and energetic
flag-wavers in the anti -reciprocity
campaign last year.

Six new canneries are being built in

The Signal Is of the opinion that
Dominion Day is not the right time
for the holding of • political demon-
stration. Mr. Rowell would have done
better to commence his campaign on
some other day and leave the national
holiday for celebrations in which
people of all parties might unite.
The text of tbe reciprocal trade
agreement between Canada and the
British West Indies has been pub-
lished. A general reduction of twenty
per cent. is made in the duties on
goods imported from one country into
the other, in making this agreement
the present Goveroment is carrying
out the policy of the Laurier Admin-
istration, which first adopted the
principle of imperial preferential
trade.
Judge Parker, in his address before
the Democratic national convention
last week, referred to the temporary
reduction of the duty on cement by
"the Canadian opponents of recipro-
city" as significant of a weakening in
the opposition to reciprocity in thle
country. Canadians know that the
Judge is rnistaken; bis remarks are
another illustration of the lack of
understanding of Canadian affairs by
the politicians across the line. it
would he just as fair to take his speech
seriously in Canada as it was for the
opponents of reciprocity to quote
Champ Clark and President Taft in
their inept references to Canada dur-
ing
ueing the reciprocity discussion last
year.

the ['resident had not been fairly
treated, and partly because Roosevelt
is looked upon in this country general-
ly as a political "tough"—a aelflsh, ill-
mannered braggart and bully. As l.e-
tween the two parties, Republican
and Democratic, however. Canadians
will not he ,,o nearly unanimous in
their sympathy. The triumph of the
Democratic party would be welcomed
by opponents of protection in this
county, as the Democrats are sworn
enemies of high tariffs. On the other
hand, Catiedbin, g000tectionlsts would
see in the 'defeat of the Repgblican
Party the downfall of the protection-
ist carne on chi: continent ; for high
tariffs in Canada will not survive high
tariffs in the United States. President
Taft gained many friends in this conn,
try by hi. manly stand for the prle-
tiple of international arbitration, and
in other ways-hasshown himself rather
more broad-tuinded than some of the
men by whom he has been aur'ounded.
Of Governor Woodrow Wilson, the
Democratic candidate, not a great
deal is known in this country: but he
appears to be a man of high chanic-
ter, anxious to do something for his
.country and giving protons: of raising
tbe tone of political Ile. His election
would be pleasing to very many Can-

A "ROAST" FOR
HON. JAMES DUFF.
Conservative Newspaper Gets After the
Minister of Agriculture.
The Toronto World (W. F. Mc-
Lean's paper) says:
The World would like to know where
the Honorable James Duff, Minister of
Agriculture, is at this moment. He
has undertaken theob of looking
after the interests of the farmers and
improving farming conditions in On-
tario,
«-hat has he to say to the fact that
thousands and thousands of calves
are being unnecessarily slaughtered
in Ontario this very veer, when ti$ev
should be kept and fed for beef ? A
beef famine thiwatens the whole
country, and nog pays so well
as raising beef cattle if intelligently
followed.
Does Mr. Duff know that there's a
lot of God -forsaken farming being
done in this Psovince under his
supervision, and that he ought to
get busy on the job of reforming it?
So far as we can see, half the cause
of bad farming in Ontario Is made up
by bad roads, by lack of drainage and
by neglecting to raise sufficient feed.
Many of our farmers ate muddling
through as best they can and as easy
as they Dag for some reason or other.
It the roads are bad. they won't buy
and haul feed, and they get through
as easy as they may.
They want to be wakened up, s,nd
Mr. Duff tae undertaken the job of
doing it. Is he wakening them up?
is he getting them good roads?? is
he teaching them how to drain their
lana P le he showing them how much
niore money they can make by selling
• steer et $70 than they can make by
selling a calf for $4 ? if Mr. Duff has
not something better to suggest he
ought to let someone else try. Sir
James Whitney is equally responsible
with Mr. Duff. This is a very busy
world these days, and men who
undertake public responsibilities must
discharge them or let someone else
try.
Also, the sale as well as the slaugh-
ter of brood stock today is one of the
crimes in Ontario, and Ontario will
be a poor farming Province as long as
this Is allowed to continue.
As we said, Mr. DuM must waken
up the farmers and show them bow
to do their duty to their land and to
their rountry, and to their herds.
