Delegates representing a number OF
neighb0ring farmers in Clay County,
Minnesota, who visited the Edmonton
district of Western Canada last sum-
mer are evidently very we'll satisfied
with the result of their trip. They think
SO we'll of the country that in addition
TO the privilege of obtaining a free
homestead of 16O acres of land they
have also purchased land. In n recent
interview on the subject Messrs. G. e.
n A. Hughes of GAINESVILLE, Clay Co.,
say:
I'VE are well pleased with Western
Canada. 1t is far ahead of what we ex-
pccted. We find the climate to be
warmer than We expected. AS for the
crops We have never seen anything that
can compete with them. We have lived
In Minnesota and have farmed some of
what they count the best lands in the
Red River Valley for ten years and
have done very well in that part of the
country, and have farms there at pres
ent + of all encumbrance, but be-
iievc that this country (Western Can
adap is so much better that we have
bought from the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way Company mi section of land
northeast of Edmonton in the Beaver
I'M district. We have travelled through
tlsat part of the country and have seer
the grain in the %granarics and tho
amount of land that it was taken off
II find that they have grown as much
as nifty bushels and over to the acre,
anu they say that this has not been Il
good year, and very little, il any, grain
las been touched by the frost. Hay
seems to he plentiful, and if you wish
to put up log buildings you can get the
logs within II few miles. Coal can he
had at the mines for % cents per ton,
or YOU can dig it yourself. Nearly all
kinds of garden truck can be grown i'll
abundance. We find everything that
can be grown In good demand. The
farmers tell us that they can get four
and II half live weight per hundred for
hogs. and for tlirce-year-old steers from
fifty TO sixty dollars per head, providing
they are good. We will move into that
part of the country next summer. All
the people in that part of the country
seem satisfied, and VIC do not see any
rcason why they should not be So"
The Messrs. Hughes also stated that
they would be very glad to afford any
one desiring particulars about the coun-
try they had visited the fullest infor.
nation, on receiving inquiries at
GAINESVILLE, Clay County, before the LIST
OF June next, when, it is understood,
they propose to return to the Edmonton
district.

discriminating duties involves q vioia-
ton of a treaty with Great Britain.
There is nothing OF the kind involved.
Our agreement of July ., 1915, was not
Il treaty in the proper sense, but Il "cou-
vention' with Il time limit fixed. This
distinction is important. We have dis
charged every obligation to the full. 1t
is our right under the convention itself
to cease its observance. Noah Wcb-
ster thus defines a convention:
5. An agreement or contract less for.
NAL than, or preliminary to, Il treaty; an
informal contract as between commanders
of armies i'll respect To suspension of hos
%tilities. or between States; also a formal
agreement between governments or sover-
eign powers; as Il postal convention be-
tween two governments.
Whether called Il treaty or convcn-
ton, VIC have no agreement for perpet-
ual arrangements as to and
navigation with any nation w%hatsoever:
but with all nations there is a time limit
fixed, with annulment and abrogation
provided for on ono years notice. If we
submit forever to arrangements that
have proved ruinous and degrading. we
have only ourselves and our Govern
ment to blame.
The men of 1857 tided over a Diff
Guilty. We should have the manliness,
with ten times the population, wealth
and power, to resume III right and
perform our duty. 1t is a remark OF
Jefferson that, Gail experience hath
shown that mankind are more disposed
to suffer while evils are sufferablc, than
to right themselves by abollshing the
forms to which they are accustomed"
This is all there is in the talk about
"treaty" hindrance to the proper pro-
lection of American shipping.

that the treaty should be followed by q
commercial convention that should cs-
tablish n policy of "maritime re%ciproci-
ty'-an "opcn door" to freighting-
under which the present state of our
marine might be brought about. We
had to treat with enemy or fight
him single-handed-so we treated. To
enable the Executive to meet in "con-
vention" iii eNacting friend, of the
firm and universal peace" just rati-
fed, Congress passed the first act for
stripping off our ship Protection, March
3, 1916, rs follows:
That so much of the several acts i'm
posing duties on the tonnage of ships and
vessels, and OH goods, wares, merchan-
disc imported into the United States, as
imposes a discriminating duty Oh tonnage
between foreign vessels and vessels of the
United States, and between goods import
ed into the United States in foreign YES
sells and vessels of the United States, be,
and the same are hereby repealed; such
repeal to take effect in favor of foreign
nations whenever the President of the
United States. shall be satisfied that the
discriminating or countervailing duties of
such foreign nation, SO far as they oper-
ate to the disadvantage of the United
States, have been abolished.
ust for tho Public Eye.
The assumption that any discriminat-
ing duties of foreign nations Operated
to the disadvantage of the United
States was false and absurd. Besides,
the British system Of ship protection
consisted for the most part Of prohibit
lions, as already shown. Several of
these it vas not expected they would
give up, nor did they. We had no pro-
hibitions, but were to give up all our
system; the British Only part of theirs.
We have had historians whose ac-
count Of our submission to fate wells
the truth. The experience of twenty
six years had proved that u discrim-
NATIVE duties were highly protective,
much more than offsetting those of 9TH
CT nations; and especially effective in
securing to III vessels cargoes in for
eign ports for carriage homeward. On
this security Of employment abroad
rested the whole advantage of II ship
Protection. This it was that Great
Britain wanted removed. Only the pro-
hibitions of foreign nations INSTRUCTED
our navigation. These the act of 1915
did not touch. The only gain from the
convention of July 3, 1915, ut London,
was the continuance of the peace pro-
-ided for by the treaty of Dec. p. 1914,
It Client. That is to say, our ship Pro-
ction as against the British was cast
away as the price of %paciication. The
Convention of 1916 provided at fol-
lows:
@.~::clc l.. Freedom of commerce and
navigation, as to the territories Of the
United States Of America, and all the
territories Of his Britannia majesty in Eu-
rope" but not elsewhere.
Article IL. No discriminating duties on
imports. exports o vessels; equality of
duties and drawbacks. and reciprocity in
freighting; but Intercourse with the West
Indies unsettled; prohibition in force
there.
