AN INVITING PROSPECT.

Will Canada in the next quarter of
a century take the place of the United
States as the great wheat exporting
section of the western hemisphere?
Everything points that way. In the
opinion of experts the United States
has reached high water mark as a
wheat exporting county. The In
creasing population over there has
reached the point when home con-
sumption is becoming annually great
er in proportion than the increase in
wheat production. AS a matter e
fact wheat production is decreasing
over there as the land becomes more
valuable and by reason of the demand
for other forms of produce for homI
consum ption. It is said that the
wheat crop this year is not more than
70 per cent of the crop of 1901 and
much below the crops of 1902 and
1903. 1t is estimated that this year
the United States surplus for export
will not be over 100, 100000, which is
less than any year since 1878 with
two exceptions. Not only is this the
case, but considerable quantity of
the best Canadian wheat is being i'm
ported into Minnesota and also Chi
cago.
All this tends to keep the price of
wheat near the dollar mark, and dol
lar wheat" is the loadstone that will
attract farmers to the Canadian
Northwest, where land is cheap and
can be farmed on wholesale basis,
particulars of which may be had from
any Canadian Government Agent
The reduction of American exports
will have the double influence of in
creasing Canadian production ana
keeping up the price. 1t constitutes
a roseate prospect for this country,
and needs no exercise of optimistic
enthusiasm to foresee the near expan-
sion of the Dominion into the actual
position of the @granary of the EN-.
pre-"

having performed and been paid for
the labor; and, if the article sold is
something for which the raw material
has been imported, the government
has helped by admitting the raw ma
terial free.
But more important yet in the des-
truction of this argument against
protection is the insignificant amount
of American manufactured goods that
are sold for less money abroad than
at home. According to the Philadel-
phia North American, out of $13 ,OOO,-
100000 worth of goods made in the
United States but 100000 worth is
sold abroad at such prices. In other
words, but thirty cents worth in
every 81 900 worth of American made
goods is so marketed. This reduces
the argument almost to an absurdity.

Thousands of Glass Eyes.

The number of men, women and
children in the United States who
wear artificial eyes is almost beyond
belief Throughout the United States,
all told, 10000 glass eyes are sold
every year, of which 10000 pass
through the hands of a firm of opti-
clans in Chambers street. From 12,-
600 to Is 900 of these eyes are manu-
featured in New York, and nearly all
of them are of high quality. The
cheaper eyes are imported. Artificial
human eyes can be bought in Europe
at prices ranging from half mark to
twenty marks Eyes of higher price
are, however, usually made to order.
In America glass eyes retail any
where from SO to $25 each, the latter
price being for the finest product made
to order in this country, special care
being taken to match the colors of
the false eye with those of its natural
mate New York opticians say that
the glass eyes made here are better
than nine-tenths of those which are
imported.-Pittsbur Dispatch

Not Sorry.

The Evening Post seems to think
that John Hay feels bad because the
French treaty was allowed to die We
doubt it. True, the secretary of state
stood in the official relation of sponsor
to the batch of foolish dickers nego-
tiated by Commissioner Kasson, but
we don't believe he is sorry, after
three years of thinking it over, that
the senate declined to sanction the
sacrifice of the hosiery and knit goods.
the kid glove and other thriving in
dustries that was involved in the
French treaty. Reciprocity is better
understood than it was in the early
part of 1901. Everybody knows more
about it, including Mr.. Hay. He is too
good a republican and too patriotic an
American not to be glad that the
French treaty was smothered. 1t is
only free traders, and here and there
a free trade republican, who are sorry
that the French treaty failed of rati-
ficatiOn.

Tell the story.

When the former free trade crusade
was begun the United States was
producing about 5000, 900 tons of pig
iron annually A couple of years of
scare brought the production down to
5000 900 TONS The resumption of con-
fidence carried the output up to 49,
DOC, 900 tons. Figures like these tell
the story truly Price-lists are decep-
tive, but the fact that Americans are
consuming about $50 pounAs of iron
per capita as against less than hall

prices is one that can't be got away

TARIFF AND WHEAT
THE FARMER FINDS HE IS PRAc-
TICALLY BENEFITED.
Duty of IS Cents BusheI Prevents
Dumping from Canada and Keeps
UP Prices of Wheat Grown BY Farm
ers of the Northwestern States.

1t is the favorite contention of all
free traders, and of some republicans
who have 1apsed from fair and consist
ent protectionism under the influence
of the reciprocity hallucination, that
the tariff on agricultural products is
of no benefit to the American farmer.
They strive hard to make the farmer
believe this. The Cobdenite reckons
shrewdly that all that is necessary in
order to get rid of protection in this
country is to demonstrate to the farm
ers satisfaction that he is robbed for
the benefit of the protected manufac-
turer. If the farmer should ever come
to believe this, there would soon be
an end of protection. So we find the
free traders busily engaged in setting
up the pins for unrestricted reciproc-
ity with Canada in products of the sell,
and, curiously enough, we find some
republicans Gaping up the free
trade game. Some day, we suppose,
these republicans will wake up to the
fact that they are being made use OF
by crafty free traders to destroy pro-
lection.
The advocates of free trade in natu-
raj products base their argument chief
ly upon the claim that the price of
American wheat is fixed in Liverpool
and hence the free admission of Can
adam wheat could not affect the price
in this country. There would be some
merit in this claim if all American
wheat were of uniform and equal
grade and if all of our surplus wheat
was exported as wheat. Such, how
ever, is not the case. The hard wheat
of Minnesota and the Dakotas is of SUI
perior grade for milling purposes and
commands a higher price by several
cents a bushel than the softer wheat
of other sections. Moreover, a con-
stantly increasing proportion of our
surplus wheat is exported in the shape
of flour, in which the hard wheat has

an extra value. Accordingly, the price
of wheat in Minneapolis is at all times
relatively higher than either the Chi
cago. the New York or the Liverpool
price.
Would it be prudent for the repub-
lican party to break down this price
by the free adpission of wheat grown
on the cheaper lands and with the
cheaper farm labor of the Canadian
northwest? An answer to this ques-
ton is given in recent statement by
James S. Bell, president of the Wash
burn-Crosby Company, of Minneapolis,
prepared for and published in the New
York Journal of Commerce and Com
mercial Bulletin, of Nov. 8. Although
directly interested in getting cheaper
wheat from Manitoba and adjacent
provinces for mixing in the mills at
Minneapolis, Mr.. Bell is not in favor
of removing the traiff of 25 cents
bushel. His reasons in support of this
view are sound and sensible. They
should receive the serious considera-
ton of the ''free-trade republicans" of
Massachusetts and Minnesota. Mr..
Bell finds that, owing to the decrease
of the wheat crop in the Dakotas and
Minnesota. the duty of 25 cents a
tive. The farmer has discovered it to
be so. After having for many years
labored under the impression that he
was being taxed for the benefit of
eastern manufacturers. while he could
not see that his own farm products
were in any way enhanced in value,
he now becomes aware that protec-
ton protects the farm as well as the
factory. ana that by reason of the
tariff of % cents a bqshel his own
wheat brings a higher price than it
would if that tariff were removed
Possibly, too, the farmer looks be
yOnd the immediate present far
enough to see that when Canada's
great railroad projects shall have been
carried out some hundreds of millions
of acres of new and productive wheat
lands will be brought under cultiva-
ton, and Canada will have for export
500, 600, 900 bushels, instead of the
$4,000, goo bushels of wheat which she
now markets abroad. When that
comes to pass, as it surely will, the
American farmer will put still high
er value on protection that protects.
Mr. Bell rightly suggests that the re-
moval of the duty on Canadian wheat
would necessitate the removal of the
duty on Canadian flour, and that. in
turn. would transfer to Canada the
bulk of the milling industry. Certain

AMERICAN GOODS ABROAD.
The Foreign Manufacturer Is the Only
One Who Is Hurt.

The Foreign Manufacturer Is the Only
One Who Is Hurt.
One of the arguments, generally
considered the strongest against the
protective tariff, is the fact that some
of the products of our tariff protect
ed factories are shipped to foreign
markets and there sold at price
lower than is asked or received for
the same articles here. The conclu-
sion which many persons draw from
this state of affairs is that the Ameri-
can manufacturer might, if he would,
sell all his product at the price he
sometimes gets abroad and that his
failure to do SO. clearly points to ex-
orbitant and unduly enriching profits.
But is this conclusion just? Is not
the case analogous to that of the mer-
chant who, at the end of the season,
finding that he has on hand a consid-
cradle supply of summer goods cuts the
price in order to turn his goods into
cash? Might it not with as much rea-
son be said that the merchant should
have sold all the goods in question
at the cut price, regardless of the
stage of the season or the demand
for them? There are few merchants
who do not in this way clear out at
some time in the year the remnants
of stock, yet the man who has bought
the same thing earlier in the season
and paid a fair price for it does not
complain.
In the case of the cheap sale of
American manufactured goods abroad,
it is the foreign manufacturer, not the
American consumer, who is hurt.
Moreover, Americans have prOfited by
