as ours are treated in Canadian waters
and adds the power to declare practi
cal non.lntcrcourse by sea. This i
meeting the Canadians OH their owl
ground, fighting them with their owl
weapons and confirming the necessar!
burdens and restrictions of a semi
hostile status to the sections and in
tcrests where it exists. That is al
the New England fishermen asked and
all they have right to expect from
the government.
The legislation now demanded by
the president would be less a blow at
Canada than at the commercial inter.
csts of the interior United States. Its
provisions, il carried into effect, woull
not only check imports into Canad:,
through American ports. but would
prohibit exports from the interior
across Canadian territory and would
paralyze that large portion of our in.
tcrstate commerce which finds its
shortest and easiest transit over Cana.
dian territory. The blow would fall
most heavily and disastrously upon
the Northwest, which has only the
most vague and remote interests in
the fisheries dispute, and which would
not patiently see its commerce with
the seaboard destroyed to crafty the
within of pctulant executive or create
campaign capital for desperate
party. The first effect of the enforce.
mcnt of the interior non.intcrcourse
the president recommends would be to
close up the >ault Ste. Marie route to
the scahoard, and again reduce st.
Paul, Minneapolis and the Northwest
to dependence upon Chicago railroads
and Chicago rates. The measure is in
the direct line Of the recent Cullum
resolution, and could not have better
suited the Chicago railroad monopo.
lists if they had dictated it. 1t is
rather significant. indeed, that the bill
introduced in the house to give effect
to the presidents recommendation is
fathered by Congressman Wilson of
Minnesota. the retained attorney of
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad.
1t is improbable to discuss the mo.
tives of the president in framing this
extraordinary message. Childish spite
at the rejection of the fishery treaty
by the senate, the hope to embarrass
the republicans by u sudden change of
front to u point of view more extreme
than theirs, and Il desire to cover IN
the weakness and vacillations of his
foreign policy by show of buster,
all probably enter into it. 1t is hard.
ly conceivable that the legislation
asked for by the president should he
enacted or that lie sh ould dare to use
the power asked for, if given. All
that will probably come of the mes.

..TYPICAL FARMERS,

The Democrat of last week takes
the extract which we copied from the
washington Springs Herald, published
at the home of Mr.. Harden the demo-
cratic nominee for delegate, for Il text
and breaches long sermon oven it,
prefacing it with the remark that
"the PIONEER EXPRESS is, of course,
the enemy Of the farmer The
editor Of the Democrat then goes on
to say very many complimentary
things of Mr.. Harden which we are
glad to know. Among others, he
states that Mr.. IL. settled on a farm.
but was unfortunate and was compel.
led to go into other avocations in order
to gain Il livelihood, particularly men.
tioning Mr.. Ills fine educational abili.
ties, and that lie had turned his atten.
ton in that direction. The gist of
the extract from the Herald practical.
ly states tho same thing-tllat Mr..
1Iarden's family run the farm while
Mr.. II. is engaged in other pursuits
which arc largely political or official
in their nature. So from what the
editor of the Democrat. who is $50
fortunate us to have personal ac-
quaintance with SO typical Il western
farmer" and from what the Herald
says, we take it that Mr.. Harden is
about the same sort of typical farmer
us is the editor of the Democrat him.
self, and their farming experiences
read much alike, to wit: unsuccessful
as practical farmers, they have turned
their attention to other pursuits and
are now typical farmers only,
''plowing with the Alliance heifcr''
hoping to raise a crop of democratic
votes.
AS far as the gibe that the PIONEER
EMPRESS is the enemy of the farmers
is concerned, suffice it to say, that
while the writer has had about Il hun.
dred acres under cultivation for five
or six years. by proxy. he lays no
claim to being Il practical farmer,
much less to being IL typical farmer
and lie has probably been just about
as unsuccessful as farmer Harden or
farmer Wilson, and, except as to be.
ing IL member of the alliance. has all
the rest of the qualifications that they
possess and by virtue of which they
arrogate to themselves the proud title
of typical farmers"
We are free to confess that in oul
opinion the fitness of MIR. Harden. Oh
any other candidate for Office, does
not depend on whether he is Il farmer
practical or typical" or whether he
is engaged in any other branch OF
business. In this agricultural terri
tory the interests of the farmer arc
the interests of everybody. The fros
that nips the wheat in the field SENDS
IL chill through every channel of trade
and the individual or corporation tina
is am "enemy to the farmer is al
enemy to the whole community and i
therefore All enemy to himself.
