II ought to be possible for the Democratic Sena-

mens as to whether or not the Mckinley bill has

teusive and notable. but Senator Palmer insists
that farm products never were so low as they
are TODAY. that the farmers are barely able to
i've" and that the Mckinley bill has accomplished
nothing to their advantage We shall have 10 give
our voice in support Of Messrs. Carlisle. Harris
and Vest. AS matter Of fact. the average in

,rhteen per cent AS illustration OF how the
Nh has operated, our consul at Hamilton, Ont.
reports that the exports from that district which
are almost entirely Of agricultural products, have
diminished from S1,3l 1915 in 1900, to $5s2,466
in 1891 decrease of about fifty-six per cent
The barley shipments which in the earlier year
amounted TO $5e6,95s, in the later year amounted

Tie United States has fallen of fifty per cent and
he decrease in the egg trade amounts TO nearly
$4,000. and yet despite enormous decreases in
he exports Of Canadian and foreign products into
this country. the total OF Canada's export trade
with us increased in ls9l over 100000.
Much is being said by our friends. the enemy,
about the ruinous effect Of the Mckinley bill on
our trade with Canada. As in the case Of every
other statement Of "ruinous effects" this sort OF
blk is all moonshine. Our trade with Canada
has increased The Canadian people still buy OF
Us much more largely than they do OF England.
u 1890 Englands total trade with Canada, includ-
tg that OF all British dependencies, amounted 10
s3096,7ls, and for the fiscal year ending in
1891 it had increased to $95, 1913. The total
value of Canada's trade with the United States
IN 1890 was S94,755,275, and during The hrst
year Of the operaton of the Mckinley bill it rose
70 $96,458 ,347. It doesn't do 10 talk about the
eject Of the Mckinley bill without first looking up
the figures

much TO President IIarrison's credit that nc 70

being so powerfully put forth to make Mr.. Egan
