THE HOME.. MARKET The Loss of Reciprocity In 1866 Roe suited in the Creation of Profitable industries for Canada By ,TORN V. !Oiling. It is true that both political parties in Canada formerly cleared a 'measure of Reciprocity with tie United States. But that was when trade generally was shall and depressed, and before proof had been given that, on the nue of antagonism to Canadian prosperity, laid down by the United States, Can- ada could flourish as an exporter of; farm and forest products and be essen- tially independent of the United States, There was a Reciprocity Treaty be- tween the two countries from 1854 to 1866, which advanced the price of Can- adian farm produce. But the Crimean War in the first half and the United States Civil War in the second half of the Reciprocity period raised pricea everywhere. The Canadian farmer came to depend upon the 'Called States for his market. He received a severe lesson when Reciprocity was withdrawn But, in- stead of being ruined, he found a more stable market in Great Britain, which has persisted to this day, Instead of sending his crops across the border he fed them on the farm, retained and improved the fertility of the soil, and by selling dairy produce and cattle became more permanently prosperous than was possible under a delusively Profitable market across the line. In time the National Policy expand- ed the farmer's home market. The gold he received for his produce, in- stead of going out of the country to purchase goods, was kept in Canada for those who had begun to make things that formerly had been im- ported, and who bought things of him that otherwise would have gone abroad. This meant better prices for the producer, as it also meant greater earning and spending power in the manufacturing towns. This change was slow, as men count time; but swift in the reckoning of nations. 1t was accompanied by a conspicuous disadvantage—young Can- adians left Canada by the thousands for the United States, where Canada •was. regarded as a poor relation. POINTS ABOUT THE DEAL TWO MOM OLD CONDITIONS HAVE PASSED The Four Reasons Which Produced Continentalists Have Died Nat- ural Deaths By JOHN V. BORNE. , The drain of population from. Can- ada to the United States was the fun- damental reason for such organiza- tions as the Continental Assocration, of which the late Goldwin Smith was ',resident. Mr. Smith, in a letter ac- cepting the presidency, gave four rea- sons for the propaganda of the Asso- ciation: --- 1: The population was standing still. 2. The backward condition of the manufacturing industries and the in- feriority of their production. 3. Tiler condition of agriculture, our farmers barely making a living, while tenant farmers were considered clever to make ends even meet. 4. The exodus of young Canadian manhood to the United Stated. There were two factors in Canadian development which the Continental- ists of that day did not appreciate, and which inevitably produced a third, a to considerable le h r m which wrought c the country. In the first place the Continentallsts did not see that the exodus to the United States would not continue in- defrnitply, because the unoccupied lands of the Republic would fill up, and Canada's turn would come. In the second place they did not really believe that Canada was a country of practically unlimited producing power. These two things together inevita-P bly prevented the Continentalists from having a great vision of the fu- ture of Canada. They thought she would always be commercially depend- ent on the United States. They saw no future in which Canada could be the lynch -phi of an Empire more spa- cious and more splendid than the United States could ever be. They said "Go to, let -us make the most of our neighbor." They did not know how to say "Go to, let us make the most of ourselves."

HOtorn. became known to the people of Eu- rope there wee a hankering after Re- ciprocity. In 1891 tek general election was fought on the question, and the advanced Rectprocitarians were beat- en. The issue was destined to keep sway from the ballot -hoe far more than twenty year's. The Liberal party, in pursuance of a platform written in 1893, asked Wash- ington for Reciprocity in 1897, and was repelled. The immigration tide then began to flow, and is flowing OM. At that very time the instinct which had turned aside from the Re- ciprocity advocated in 1891 re -asserted itself,, -this time in the unfamiliar guise of a Liberal Government.—and in 1898 the offer of Reciprocity which had stood for many years on the Can- adian Statute Book was repealed, The repeal was happily endorsed at the Imperial Conference in London by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who said: "There was a time when we were wanting reciprocity with, the United States, but our efforts were put aside, We have said good-bye to that trade and we now put all our hopes upon the British trade," .rte •-POINTs ABOUT THE DEAL 'i?" sit; roIJR moo MONEY IN THE BANKS The starting of industries, the build- ing 61 a railway across an empty con- tinent, left Canada in a condition of strain. The lack of faith, of which the Continental cry was a model expres- sten, meant a lack of works. Few of the millions of people who desired to forsake the Old World learned of Can ada. The population continued sta- tionary. Progress' was painfully Blow. But, in due time, the movement of people into Canada began •It was pre- sently accompanied by a movement of capital, until, at last, everybody saw that the hour of Canada had come. The final proof of it was vouchsafed when the exodus from Canada to the United States was more than balanced be an exodus front the United States to Canada.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier's repudiations of Reciprocity with the United States be-' ginning in 1898 and continuing until' 1907, was endorsed by Liberals and) Conservatives alike. The country was' behind him. The future was before him. Remember the difference between] the Canada of that day and the Can..: ada which Sir Wilfrid vainly thinksi has turned back, with hungry eyes to: the policy he so patriotically aban- doned. At the time of the joyful abandon' went of the idea that the United' States could be the main prop and stay! of Canadian prosperity the Canadian people had $236,161,062 in the banks: To -day they have $925,000,000 in the; banks. Then their trade beyond their) own borders was $304,475,736 -a year. Now it is $649,000,000. Then the flow of British capital was• so small that no returns were avail -1 able. Last year $185,000,000 came; from Britain to Canada, exclusive of Individual amounts for investments, and the money brought by 112,000, people who came from' Britain to' Brighter Britain. The magnificent point of this situa- tion is that the turning away from the United States (which for thirty years had treated Canada as a commercial factor with good-natured contempt), and the new-found belief that Canada could march along the road to nation- hood without regard to, the business goodwill of. the United States; were followed by "an expansion of business. that the firmest believer in her destiny would not have dared to prophesy in the days when Reciprocity was an. Article of Faith and a veritable Pro- mise of Hope to so many people. ,s r POINTS ABOUT THE DEAL *''• FIVE -' s THE FARMER RECEIVES MORE Prices For Which He Sells Have in- creased More Rapidly than the Cost of What He Buys By JOHN V. BORNE. "The wise man often changes his mind; the fool never"—a way of say-, ing that the political wisdom of to -day is the political foolishness of tomor- row. Nothing is more valuable than. the teachings of history. Nothing is+ more futile than piling up proofs that many years experience have changed; the point of view of a man or a partyl of men. It is nothing to show that Sir John' Macdonald was serious or merely as- tutu in advocating Reciprocity, forty, thirty, twenty years ago. He is not! with us now. We have conditions to which his utterahces do not apply. Sir Wilfrid Laurier's position is (life ferent, He was an advocate of Reci- procity. On his experience he re- nounced It The commercial condi-; tions which Caused him to renounce it, —the prosperity of Canada without' it—have become greatly accentuated in every particular. The farmer particularly has flour-. ished. The Dominion Government rely ports show that in 1909 prices received) by the farmer had risen oven those of the ten years before 1899, like this:—. Grain and fodder, including thirteen. selected standard commodities, 49.9 per cent. Cattle and cattle products, hogs and' hog products, sheep and sheep pro- ducts, fowl and tdrkeys, 48.6 per cent. • Dairy products, 33 per cent. And that the price of goods the farmer has to buy have not risen to, an equal extent, as this list Shows:— Woollen goods 23.3 per cent. Cotton goods 26 !loots and shoes . 25 " Metals and implements 2.4 " ' Imported goods --decrease 4 " The staple tines, which represent over 90 per cent. of the farmer's ex- penditure xpenditure have only increased 14.3 per cent., while the goods he sells have in- creased 35.7 per cent. Agriculture is the basin industry of Canada. If its prosperity grows in greater ratio than that of other indus- tries, it is in the doubly happy posi- trolt of flourishing itself and ambling others to flourish. This has happened with a home market that is nothing like ase big as it will be. Canada hoe only really be- gun. her manufacturing career, if she is permitted to retain her fiscal ' in- ctependenae.

THE HOME.. MARKET The Loss of Reciprocity In 1866 Roe suited in the Creation of Profitable industries for Canada By ,TORN V. !Oiling. It is true that both political parties in Canada formerly cleared a 'measure of Reciprocity with tie United States. But that was when trade generally was shall and depressed, and before proof had been given that, on the nue of antagonism to Canadian prosperity, laid down by the United States, Can- ada could flourish as an exporter of; farm and forest products and be essen- tially independent of the United States, There was a Reciprocity Treaty be- tween the two countries from 1854 to 1866, which advanced the price of Can- adian farm produce. But the Crimean War in the first half and the United States Civil War in the second half of the Reciprocity period raised pricea everywhere. The Canadian farmer came to depend upon the 'Called States for his market. He received a severe lesson when Reciprocity was withdrawn But, in- stead of being ruined, he found a more stable market in Great Britain, which has persisted to this day, Instead of sending his crops across the border he fed them on the farm, retained and improved the fertility of the soil, and by selling dairy produce and cattle became more permanently prosperous than was possible under a delusively Profitable market across the line. In time the National Policy expand- ed the farmer's home market. The gold he received for his produce, in- stead of going out of the country to purchase goods, was kept in Canada for those who had begun to make things that formerly had been im- ported, and who bought things of him that otherwise would have gone abroad. This meant better prices for the producer, as it also meant greater earning and spending power in the manufacturing towns. This change was slow, as men count time; but swift in the reckoning of nations. 1t was accompanied by a conspicuous disadvantage—young Can- adians left Canada by the thousands for the United States, where Canada •was. regarded as a poor relation. POINTS ABOUT THE DEAL TWO MOM OLD CONDITIONS HAVE PASSED The Four Reasons Which Produced Continentalists Have Died Nat- ural Deaths By JOHN V. BORNE. , The drain of population from. Can- ada to the United States was the fun- damental reason for such organiza- tions as the Continental Assocration, of which the late Goldwin Smith was ',resident. Mr. Smith, in a letter ac- cepting the presidency, gave four rea- sons for the propaganda of the Asso- ciation: --- 1: The population was standing still. 2. The backward condition of the manufacturing industries and the in- feriority of their production. 3. Tiler condition of agriculture, our farmers barely making a living, while tenant farmers were considered clever to make ends even meet. 4. The exodus of young Canadian manhood to the United Stated. There were two factors in Canadian development which the Continental- ists of that day did not appreciate, and which inevitably produced a third, a to considerable le h r m which wrought c the country. In the first place the Continentallsts did not see that the exodus to the United States would not continue in- defrnitply, because the unoccupied lands of the Republic would fill up, and Canada's turn would come. In the second place they did not really believe that Canada was a country of practically unlimited producing power. These two things together inevita-P bly prevented the Continentalists from having a great vision of the fu- ture of Canada. They thought she would always be commercially depend- ent on the United States. They saw no future in which Canada could be the lynch -phi of an Empire more spa- cious and more splendid than the United States could ever be. They said "Go to, let -us make the most of our neighbor." They did not know how to say "Go to, let us make the most of ourselves."

HOtorn. became known to the people of Eu- rope there wee a hankering after Re- ciprocity. In 1891 tek general election was fought on the question, and the advanced Rectprocitarians were beat- en. The issue was destined to keep sway from the ballot -hoe far more than twenty year's. The Liberal party, in pursuance of a platform written in 1893, asked Wash- ington for Reciprocity in 1897, and was repelled. The immigration tide then began to flow, and is flowing OM. At that very time the instinct which had turned aside from the Re- ciprocity advocated in 1891 re -asserted itself,, -this time in the unfamiliar guise of a Liberal Government.—and in 1898 the offer of Reciprocity which had stood for many years on the Can- adian Statute Book was repealed, The repeal was happily endorsed at the Imperial Conference in London by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who said: "There was a time when we were wanting reciprocity with, the United States, but our efforts were put aside, We have said good-bye to that trade and we now put all our hopes upon the British trade," .rte •-POINTs ABOUT THE DEAL 'i?" sit; roIJR moo MONEY IN THE BANKS The starting of industries, the build- ing 61 a railway across an empty con- tinent, left Canada in a condition of strain. The lack of faith, of which the Continental cry was a model expres- sten, meant a lack of works. Few of the millions of people who desired to forsake the Old World learned of Can ada. The population continued sta- tionary. Progress' was painfully Blow. But, in due time, the movement of people into Canada began •It was pre- sently accompanied by a movement of capital, until, at last, everybody saw that the hour of Canada had come. The final proof of it was vouchsafed when the exodus from Canada to the United States was more than balanced be an exodus front the United States to Canada.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier's repudiations of Reciprocity with the United States be-' ginning in 1898 and continuing until' 1907, was endorsed by Liberals and) Conservatives alike. The country was' behind him. The future was before him. Remember the difference between] the Canada of that day and the Can..: ada which Sir Wilfrid vainly thinksi has turned back, with hungry eyes to: the policy he so patriotically aban- doned. At the time of the joyful abandon' went of the idea that the United' States could be the main prop and stay! of Canadian prosperity the Canadian people had $236,161,062 in the banks: To -day they have $925,000,000 in the; banks. Then their trade beyond their) own borders was $304,475,736 -a year. Now it is $649,000,000. Then the flow of British capital was• so small that no returns were avail -1 able. Last year $185,000,000 came; from Britain to Canada, exclusive of Individual amounts for investments, and the money brought by 112,000, people who came from' Britain to' Brighter Britain. The magnificent point of this situa- tion is that the turning away from the United States (which for thirty years had treated Canada as a commercial factor with good-natured contempt), and the new-found belief that Canada could march along the road to nation- hood without regard to, the business goodwill of. the United States; were followed by "an expansion of business. that the firmest believer in her destiny would not have dared to prophesy in the days when Reciprocity was an. Article of Faith and a veritable Pro- mise of Hope to so many people. ,s r POINTS ABOUT THE DEAL *''• FIVE -' s THE FARMER RECEIVES MORE Prices For Which He Sells Have in- creased More Rapidly than the Cost of What He Buys By JOHN V. BORNE. "The wise man often changes his mind; the fool never"—a way of say-, ing that the political wisdom of to -day is the political foolishness of tomor- row. Nothing is more valuable than. the teachings of history. Nothing is+ more futile than piling up proofs that many years experience have changed; the point of view of a man or a partyl of men. It is nothing to show that Sir John' Macdonald was serious or merely as- tutu in advocating Reciprocity, forty, thirty, twenty years ago. He is not! with us now. We have conditions to which his utterahces do not apply. Sir Wilfrid Laurier's position is (life ferent, He was an advocate of Reci- procity. On his experience he re- nounced It The commercial condi-; tions which Caused him to renounce it, —the prosperity of Canada without' it—have become greatly accentuated in every particular. The farmer particularly has flour-. ished. The Dominion Government rely ports show that in 1909 prices received) by the farmer had risen oven those of the ten years before 1899, like this:—. Grain and fodder, including thirteen. selected standard commodities, 49.9 per cent. Cattle and cattle products, hogs and' hog products, sheep and sheep pro- ducts, fowl and tdrkeys, 48.6 per cent. • Dairy products, 33 per cent. And that the price of goods the farmer has to buy have not risen to, an equal extent, as this list Shows:— Woollen goods 23.3 per cent. Cotton goods 26 !loots and shoes . 25 " Metals and implements 2.4 " ' Imported goods --decrease 4 " The staple tines, which represent over 90 per cent. of the farmer's ex- penditure xpenditure have only increased 14.3 per cent., while the goods he sells have in- creased 35.7 per cent. Agriculture is the basin industry of Canada. If its prosperity grows in greater ratio than that of other indus- tries, it is in the doubly happy posi- trolt of flourishing itself and ambling others to flourish. This has happened with a home market that is nothing like ase big as it will be. Canada hoe only really be- gun. her manufacturing career, if she is permitted to retain her fiscal ' in- ctependenae.
