TRADE RELATIONS WITH
CANADA.

We assume that nobody believes the
United States would be greater or
richer country if it had not annexed the
Louisiana Purchase empire. That vast
region was bought from Napoleon !. If
it had not been bought, and had re-
manned till this day the property of
Canada. we would doubtless have been
saved from the disaster of free trade
with it--free trade with Missouri, Min
nesOta, the Dakotas. Arkansas. Kansas,
Iowa. Colorado, and the rest of that big
desert"
Now, IT seems apparent that we need
TO be. saved from such dangerous ex-
perience with Canada. There are peo-
ple-more and more Of them all the
time-who would foist free trade with
Canada upon this country. They are
just now renewing their activities un-
der the leadership of the New York
Herald. Senator Cummins of Iowa, a
number of years ago came out fatty for
free trade with Canada. 1t is apparent
that the conspiracy Is gaining ground,
and something ought to be done TO head
it off.
For ourselves, we can see no better
argument than the historic parallel
Why do not the opponents of this ruin
Gus propaganda organize a crushing
argument against a free trade North
America, by showing what fatal mis-
take was made when Louisiana and
Texas and the Gadsden purchase and
Florida were brought within the con
stitutional guarantee Of free trade
among all parts of the American union?
Let them cast about and observe the
ruin which was wrought 10 Massachu-
sets and New York and Ohio, by the
terrific mistake of letting Iowa and
Kansas enjoy the privilege of free trade
with them. Think Of the monstrous
mistake of it all! Massachusetts, stunt
ed and impoverished and depopulsted
till il only has today about the same
number of people that composed the
United States when it was admitted to
the unionl New York weakened in
substance and in population till it has
less than three times the number of
people who achieved the independence
of the thirteen colonies. And the ruin
of the annexed Territories parallels
that of the older colonies, as note
Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa. and all the
Mississippi valley, in their condition of
arrested development and utter wretch
edness, all because they were forced to
accept conditions Of free trade with the
rest of the country.
II would be an awful thing to have
free trade with Canada. It would be
certain to injure this country, and GER
tain to wreck the future of Canada.
See how it has ruined the United
States in the last hundred years, and
insist on the historic parallel. That
ought tc prevent forever the thought of
established freer relations with Can
ada.
in fact, 10 be absolutely certain that
such a miserable future be avoided.
would it not be well absolutely to pro
hibit any trade at all with Canada

Rex ElIingwoOd Beach is COMPARE

reer so far that compares for vicissi-
tudes in some degree with that of Mark

genuineness Of his humor and the grip
and reality with which he writes in his
plays and stories.

in Florida. where he attended college

scant provisions. both for financial rea-
sons and because Of the necessity for
making haste.
In trying 10 get up 10 Dawson, the boat
in which Mr. Beach and his party tray

were compelled 20 turn back down the
river, where a new camp was being
