TRB WINGITAM ADVANCB
THE AGRICULTURAL ASPECT
OC RECIPROCITY.
Ontario farmers, who owe so much
to 0. C. James, 0, M. £I,, Deputy
Minister of Agriculture, will be inter-
ested in getting his views on recipro-
city. Mr. James as a Government
official would not express an opinion
upon a question that formed an Issue
between contending political parties.
But in 1904, when there was no
thought of this country being led into
any such foolishness, and while he was
an official of the Boas Government,
Mr. James made some remarks that
should have great weight with the
farming community throughout the
whole Dominion.
Liberal leaders fight shy of their
bungle by which the reciprocity re-
ductions extend to twelve foreign na-
tions beside many colonies and de-
pendencies. The Toronto News mar-
shals the fact unimpeachably and
distinctly. It divides the facts under
two beadings ;-
1. Under certain commercial treat-
ies, ranging from 1060 to 1900, some
of them negotiated by Great Britain
without consulting Canada, and some
of them binding Canada by her own
act, we are obliged to grant to twelve
foreign nations the concessions we
have madeto the United States.
Some of these countries, like Bolivia
and Venzuela, are of little import-
ance to us. Some of them, like Arg-
entina, are serious competitors.
2 By a special clause in Mr. Field-
ing's reciprocity resolution introduc-
ed into the House of Commons on
January 26, the concessions we have
made to the United States are to
be extended, without compensation,
to the British Empire, This includes
countries like Australia and New
Zealand, which are heavy producers
of wheat, livestock and diary pro-
ducts.
Argentina produces vast quantities
of wheat and livestock. She has epe-
ially favorable transportation ar-
rangements ; the ships which take her
products to England pass compara-
tively near to our Eastern Provinces ;
these Provinces import foodstuffs
from Western Canada. Once wheat is
free, once the duties on chilled meat
are reduced, why should not Argen-
tine wheat and meat be sold in Nova
Scotia in competition with the wheat
of Saskatchewan and the meat of On-
tario ? The freight charges on a
bushel of wheat from Buenos Ayres to
Eastern Canada are one-third the
charges on a bushel of wheat from
Regina to Eastern Canada.
Australia and New Zealand produce
vast quantities of beef, mutton, lamb,
and batter. Transportation arrange-
ments generally favor sending these
goods alike to Vancouver and to the
seaforte of Eastern Canada. A pound
of butter can be carried from Aus-
tralia to Montreal for two cents. Al-
ready Australian butter has beaten
down the price of Canadian butter in
Montreal. Aiready in New Zealand
lambs have competed with Ontario
Iambs on the Toronto market. At the
present moment meat from these
countries is entering Canada, despite
the protection afforded by the exist-
ing duties.
That is the situation. The facts
cannot be, disputed.
TIEING CANADA'S HANDS.
In an address on "Recent Agricul-
tural Progress" before the Natural
Science Association, in 1904, Mr.
James reviewed the great proeperity
winfollowed' m Onta r
which had ip sfter
the McKinley and Dingley tariff shut
Canada out of the American market.
Ile laid particular emphasis on the
development of the beef, bacon and
pork and cheese industries, and then
used the following striking words as
quoted in the Canadian Agricultural-
jets Annual for 1906.
"The day rnity come when weshall
feel so grateful to our neighbours to
the south as to erect a national monu-
ment to the memory of the McKinley
tariff bill,, If we do, we might reserve
a niche for the Dingley tariff bill of
1897. Our trade relations with the
United States are very interesting.
Where they have endeavored to shut
us out from tneir own markets, they
have but stimulated our trade in other
directions that have in time proved
more remunerative; and often when
they have excluded us from their mar-
ket, they have driven us to the great
neutral market, where we have had a
perceptible influence in setting the
prices for their own exported surplus
and therefore their whole crop.
"The United States tariff has forced
us to look across the Atlantic for our
markets, and there we have sent our
products into competition with the
products of the United States.
"If we were looking for other argu-
ments
rguments as to the unintended benefits
to us of United States tariff opposi-
tion, we might say that the develop,
ment of self-reliance and independence
may out -weigh even the enlargement
of our British trade. To a certain ex-
tent we were in leading strings to the
United States. We have been de-
veloping a Canadian national feeling
and increasing our self-reliance."
We may be sure that there is
nothing that lies closer to the heart
of Mr. C. 0. James than the prosperi-
ty of the farmer. He has spent the
better part of his Life time thinking
for them, and bis remarkable success
has given him a world-wide reputa-
tion. The farmers of Canada can be
depended upon to reflect most careful-
ly upon the advice of so true and tried
a friend.
• Government organs persist In the
assertion that after ratifying the
reciprocity convention either country
could withdraw at will. These news-
papers know that "this is not a true
statement of the case. Once the
compact was in operation the 90,000,-
000 people of the United States would
be able to dictate terms to 8,000,000
Canadians. The Spokane Spokesman-
Review.- declares that it supports
ratification for this reason only,
and adds
"If, within a year or two, the
United States finds it impossible
to persuade Canada to extend the
free trade provisions to cover all
products of both countries, the
Spokesman -Review believes the
people of the United States WILL,
INSIST upon the re-enactment of
the tariff on Canadian farm pro-
ducts imported into this country."
In the face of this the less scrupulous
Government newspapers still contend
that under reciprocity Canada will
remain a free moral agent in fiscal
matters.
OUR LOSS THEIR GAIN.
The Pioneer Press of St. Paul, Min-
nesota, ie in favor of reciprocity,
and says :--
"11 Canada should decide as soon
as the reciprocity agreement were
adopted to not send another dol-
lar'a worth of farm producte to
England, but to send a}i heti sur-
plus to the United States, the
effect would simply be that the
United States would send an extra
$140,000.000 of our produote to
supply England'e demand and we
would absorb Canada's $140,000,-
000 surplus, without any degree
affecting prices here. We would
ggaain the ocwtorner Canada aban-
doned."

FORMER LIBERAL SPEAKS.
On the wase platform with Mr.
Borden in Massey Hall on August 28,
WAS 'an able speaker, Mr, W. T.
White, until now a etaunoh Liberal,
Here are a few pointe front his speech
on Reciprocity :--
Reciprocity Is a question above par-
ties and above individuals.
Anti -reciprocity is nay politics.
There are no .birds in last year's
nests, and reciprocity Is an old nest.
There are no birds for Canada in it.
Where is no conflict between the
farmer and the manufacturer and thg
artisan,
Bach part of the community must
be contented to eee others receive the
share of protection to which they are
respectively entitled.
Under reciprocity the farmer .gives.
up to the competition of the United
States and twelve other nations, (from
none of which latter he receives any
reciprocal advantage), the finest home
market actually and potentially in the
world to -day.
The United States Is now suffering,
and has been suffering, for over two
years from a wide -reaching industrial
and commercial depression. We have
escaped the calamities of the past ten
years, from which the United States
has suffered, because of our fiscal inde-
pendence,
Under reciprocity the lean kine, as
in Pharoah's dream, will devour the
fat kine. The best home market in
the world will be irretrievably lost to
the farmer.
The bag of gold for the Canadian
farmer is here in Canada, not under
any star-spangled rainbow to the
south.
The United States would preserve
its own home market and slaughter
ours with its surplus product.
In my view, reciprocity spells com-
mercial union.
The greatest advertisement Canada
will ever receive will come when Ca-
nada rejects reciprocity. It will be
a new Declaration of Independence
that will ring around the British -
speaking world,.
Lucknow.
Mise Millie Nicholson, of Kinloss,

the Galt Training School for nurses.
John Button is expected home this
week from the West where he bas
been visiting and looking about for
the past month or so. Probably one
of his first undertakings when he gets
back will be the building of an addi-
tion to the Furniture factory.for the
present plant is becoming altogether
too small to meet the demands that
are being made on it.
Pea harvesting operations on a farm
north of Lucknow had a humorous,
and somewhat tragic, interruption the
other day. Being somewhat short of
help the farmer had his guid wife out
in the field to drive the team on the
harvester. Something went wrong
with the gearing, and the farmer ask-
ed his wife to sit on a certain lever
and hold it down while he made the
necessary repairs. Unfortunately, be-
fore the good woman got firmly seat-
ed the lever slipped and she was hoist-
ed heels over head on to the mower
knife several feet away. That it was
no light tap she received may be judg-
ed from the fact that she is a buxom
lady, weighing -well, never mind how
much. Shelaughs over the incident,
but we understand the farmer had
niaeculine help a 'few days after-
wards.

Worth the Monoy:
Corrie.
Several hundred people assembled in
•Corrie in the afternoon of Thursday,
August 24tb, to hear the Hon.
Geo. E. Foster. Dr. T. Chisholm,
the popular representative of • the
riding in the two parliaments, occu-
pied the chair in his usual genial man-
ner. Mr. James Bowman, the Conser-
vative candidate, was the first speaker,
and from the reception accorded hini,
it was evident that Howick will give
a good rousing majority. for him on
Sept. 21st.
A. H. Musgrove, M.L.A„ was the
nextspeaker. Il'e referred to the old
Reciprociprocity treaty, and its abro-
gation. He pointed out the wonder-
ful development of Canada's natural
resources under the National policy,
and the danger of Canada losing her
fiscal independence by the proposed
pact.
Mon. Geo. E. Foster was loudly
applauded on rising to speak. He re-
ferred to Canada's prosperity and the
risk of making such a change as this
pact proposed. He showed that Rus-
sia and Argentine were nearer to
Canada than Winnipeg to Montreal,
when the distance was measured by
freight rates. Canada's markets
would be invaded by countries outside
of the United States that exported
055,000,000 sacks of farm products last
year.
"In 1878," said Mr. Foster, "we had
very little of this great home market
until the inauguration of the National
Policy. The Liberals then declared
that if they were returned to power,
they 'would kill this "unholy thing,"
protection. But when elected they
found that they could not interfere
with vested rights. Canada is build-
ing not for to -day, but for the future.
If you are not certain that the home
market is not going to be injured
what right have you to take the leap
in the dark ?"
For 40 years there bas been a great
struggle to conquer the British mar-
ket. Put Canadian bacon in the
window in England and it goes. Put
Canadian cheese in the window, and
it goes. Eighty per cent, of farm
products is consumed at home, and 16
of the remaining 20 per cent. goes to
Britain, and you never paid a cent for
that British market. Only four per
cent, remains to find a market, and
what a hubbub about this remaining
four per cent.
"Try it a while," was effectually
dealt with. "You can take bold of a
live wire easier than you 'can let go,"
said Mr. Foster.
Who will take the responsibility of
a financial and industrial revolution
in this country, asked the speaker.
Taking up the matter of wheat, Mr.
Foster' read President Taft'e message
to his people that Canadian wheat
would be found in American mills and
the offal to fatten American cattle.
"We can grind our own corn and fat-
ten our own cattle, whteh is In keep-
ing with the Canadian epirit," he said.
The great Canadian reeourced are not
yours, yott are just trustees to rise and
develop for generations yet unborn.
Do you know what Is in the back of
Uncle Sam's head? The old ambition
that has not died and will not die that
the Stare and Stripes will float over
Capsula. We must prolong the old
way motherward, uatlonward and ett-
pit`ertard."
The meting was a great itaucaee e,.
and a vote -getter for Mr. Bowman.
