Farmers and Reciprocity

Canada would be glad t. enter into
a reciprocity agreement with the
United States that should idclude
natural products only. Eventually
obvious is the reason why she
should decline to swap trade priv
'leges in manufactured products.
Her natural products seek a nearby
market, and it would be tremend-
uously to her advantageif she could
sell her surplus in the United States
instead of shipping it to Europe.
But in industrial production she is
only beginner. She is trying to
develop her manufacturing in
iustries. In the event of Free
Trade in natural products Canada
would do all the selling and none
OF the buying, while Free Trad in
manufactures would swamp every
one of her youthful industries. Tn.
American farmer objects to rect
,r"cily restricted to na'u-al pro
ucts only. With good reason he
objects to having all If Canada's
'ufplus of grain dumped on :

: $50, 900, 200 acres. OF this about
900, 900 acres are being uulizeh
or have been transferred by the
| crown to railways, for. homesteads
md other purposes of production.
Of these $4,000, 900 this year onl }
3,I23, 663 acres were under cultiva-
uion. The actual yield of grain of
all kinds this year was 10, 900, 600
bushels over last year. The wheat
yield was 81, I63, o32 bushels, an in
crease of about 3, 900, 900.
AS rapidly as immigration can be
induced and lands placed under
cultivation these countless millions
of acres are to be added to the
wheat producing area of North
America. 1t is the dream of Canada
to become the great wheat produc-
ing country of the word. Reel
procity IN natural products would
greatly hasten the realization of this
dream. Already large numbers of
farmers from the United States art
moving over to the CanadiaI
Northwest and locating upon lands
within reach of railroad transporta
ton. There will be more railroads
more accessible lands, more farm
ers rushing over to take and till
them. That is what Canada wants.
1t is not, however, what the Ameri-
Can farmer wants. He prefers t.
retain as long as possible the ad-
vantages which the present Tariff
gives him in the matter of a profit
able market for his food stuffs.
Hence his opposition to reciprocity
in natural products.
Is 1t unreasonable or unnatural
that another great body of Ameri-
can farmers should be unwilling to
rellnquish the advantages which the
Dingley Tariff gives them, and to
surrender to foreign competitors the
control of the immense market for
their sugar cane, their early fruits
and vegetables, their oranges, lem
ons and pineapples, and their to-

Threatened with starvation and with her
husband hopelessly insane In the asylum
at Kankakee, Mrs. Anna Kelsdzick gave up
the struggle for existence, killed her three
small children, and then ended her own

been dead several hours. A constable was
to eject the mother and her babies from
their home for the non-payment of rent.

with a summons to appear In court that
she decided to end the lives of herself and
little ones.
That the woman made every preparation
to do away with herself and children was
evident. She first wrote and sealed letter
addressed to a relative in Germany. Then
she bathed herself and donned clean linen.
Each child had also been given a bath.
clean nightgowns placed upon them, and
the little ones sent to the sleep from
which they would never awaken.
Several months ago kelsdZick who was
from brooding over his troubles. and was
sent to the asylum. Since that time the
mother. who was in poor health, had had
hard struggle for existence. Last week
she became SO i'll that she was unable to
work any more. and had spent her last
dollar for food for herself and the children
Saturday afternoon. With ejectment from
her home staring her in the face and with
no money in her oSsession to procure an
other. she took the lives of her babies and
her own to end her troubles.

Church in the Philippine Islands. ana. as
bishop, succeeded in acquiring large num-
Der of followers. Is the cause of much con-

months.
The Vatican authorities have been In
