Before the American farmer

1ucrsued "Free-Trade with
Canada" ne ought to find out
what kind of a trade he is going
to make ultimately.
Here it is, We, the people OF
Canada, over 100000 in num-
Der, all subjects of Great Bri-
tain, hereby agree to buy from
you Americans such articles of
commerce as we are obliged to
have. Provided that you will
sell as cheaply as we can buy
of other nations where the
standard of living is below that
of your people, and where wages
are one-half less. Not having
any large cities or good mar
ket places of our own, we will
further agree to send annually
to the large American cities
situated near our borders at
least 100000 bushels of wheat
100000 bushels of barley,3,0O0,-
600 bushels of potatoes, 2O,OOO,-
900 bushels of oats and 100000
head of Crttle, and a very large
supply of poultry and dairy
products. and if the American
farmer desires more competi-
ton, we will agree to double the
supply in less than five years.
Of course this will require the
cultivation of some of the land
recently bought by American
land spectators, and we will
have no doubt but what they
will be glad to sell it to home
seekers, for it certainly will
double in value as soon as the
treaty is agreed to by both ma
tons.
There are fifteen persons in
the United States to one in
Canada. It takes people to
make markets. Therefore, the
reciprocity trade we are asked
to make is: Let me into your.
market with one person in it..
and will let you into ours
