present great problems to the Fifty-Sev-
enth congress and its consideration in
some form cannot be long delayed after
the meeting in December. The advantages
or freer trade with Canada are so mani
fest as to be beyond dispute, and the COM
mercial bodies of New England are bestir-
ring themselves none too soon to bring it
about.
Canada has quite as much to gain from
more liberal policy. Her slow growth
during the last decade for a new country,
with railroads opening up fresh wheat
fields in the west, for one possessed of a
liberal government, and with protection
from all hostile encroachment by the
strong arm Of Great Britain, is most sur
prising. Her heavy debt is not sufficient
to account for it. Much of the explana-
tion evidently lies in Canada's outskirt
relation to the United States. 1t is is
great agricultural country deprived of
its natural markets, for the bulkier prod
ucts of the outskirts always gravitate to-
wards the eenters of population. In the
same way manufacturing, under modern
conditions, could be done to much better
advantage were the boundary line either
erased or softened. A wall paper man
ufacturer who was recently in Washing
ton, doubtless described a condition COM
mon to many articles when he said that
there should be no tariff on wall paper
going into Canada, since it's population
was not large enough to justify home
manufacturers in bringing out the variety
Of styles and patterns which were desir
able. Their users of wall paper would
profit by the same free entry to the gen
eral American markets that the people of
Florida or of Wyoming enjoy. This must
be true or countless other articles on the
basis OF trust economics is unsubstan
tiated.
The American people, protectionists and
free traders, have too long rejoiced over
the enormous area in this symmetrical
republic open to unrestricted commerce
not to see the advantages to both sides of
the Canadian line of more liberal policy.
Its advocates point out that there is no
difference between the wages and wage
earners of Canada and those of the United
States which is not exceeded by differ
ences that already exist within our own
republic. The working white population
Of the south is cheaper labor than that
of Canada; they subsist more economical
ly and are as rule less civilized. North
ern manufacturers are in open competition
with this low-priced labor of the south,
and yet no part Of the country grew so
rapidly in the last decade as the manu-
featuring cities of the northeast which
were meeting this very competition.
Pittsburg is a region of high priced la
Dor and Birmingham OF priced and
yet they are both doing business in the
same tariff area. In the light OF such OBJ
