to employ the greatest amount of capital
In our own country, and to enable those
who work to receive wages 7comnensur-
ate with life in the land Of which they are
citizens.
If then we can by proper enactment or
by trade treaty make a market for mil
lion dollars of products to be exported and
in doing so will displace domestic products
Of only q thousand dollars in our own
market, can any reason be urged for a
failure to improve such an opportunity?
There is much discussion respecting
some arrangement with Canada, and see,
with regret, the chance for dealing with
our northern neighbor becoming more and
more remote. I have been accused of he
ing in favor of free trade with Canada.
This accusation is as baseless as falsehood
and malice combined, can make it.
Relations With Canada.
lam not IN favor Of free trade with any
country. l. do believe, however, that we
should cultivate more friendly relations
with Canada and the northwest. During
all my mature, life I have dreamed that the
freemen who will inhabit that vast terri
tory which stretches from our northern
border to the axis Of the earth, can be
united In the freest, best and most endur-
ing government upon the face of the earth.
I confess that I have fondly hoped that
when some daring adventurer stands upon
the north pole, that it would be the beau
tiful folds Of the stars and stripes that
would be filled with the icy blasts Of the
north, proclaiming forever the sovereignty
Of the United States. -
I have believed that if ever a vital strug
gle comes with a foreign foe, we ought to
have friends, Lot enemies, in the great en-
pire Of the north. My dreams and hopes
may never be traliZed, and see clearly
that they become fainter with each re-
curing year.: I therefore exclude these
| considerations from my mind and view the
situation from more sordid standpoint.
! We want to sell Canada the things she
must buy, We are better fitted to produce
them than any, other. people in the world.
&. We can sell them cheapfy as any of
our competitors. Her needs are growing
with greater rapidity than any other mar
ket which. we enter. 49,
We are blind if we do not make an hon
| est, faithful effort to maintain our hold
upon that country, and to increase our ex-
ports into it's markets. It may be that in
order to do it we must admit some of her
natural products to our markets upon bet
ter terms than they now enter. So be it
I am not dealing with the details of the
arrangement. s.,-.i '-3-

was the recollection that the great
Boston fire affected the market adj.
5Nersely, andSthat panicpine st ocks res
suited when Chicago burned. Addi=
tional to this there was. the opening
Of hostihties, and depression in. for
eign money centers, fear lest the far
eastern war might involve other ma
tons than those directly concerned,
the fall of: conso1s to al new low point
at S67a,. and. further disturbances in
the speculative cotton markets. When
the bad news had< worked itself out,
stocks were lower BY "a few points,
but there were no sensational declines
nor anything approaching panic at
any time. 1asg0
The. whole was a test OF the argu-
ment that, as the last great boom in
stocks had carried prices much too
high so#the more recent long contin-
ued decline has forced theIn@ TOO low.
The, days Of inflated prices for worth
less stocks are gone. There are stocks
that are1high In any kind of asmarket,
but there are many that are without
doubt on levels low enough to appeal
to: conservative buyers. for investment,
and there is evidence Of some return
Of public confidence. Of at least a
greater degree Of public. confidence
than the stock market has. enjoyed for
a long time. There is a difference be-
tween the effect of bad news upon an
