SILHOUETTES OF
WESTERN CANADA

The man from Iowa began to talk
land before the train was we'll out of
the c. N. r. depot in Winnipeg. The
talk began in rather wide circles. The
rush to the land, the bumper crop. the
system Of summer following pursued
In the semi-arid districts, were all
discussed, and then, with a sort OF
apologetic smile, the Iowa man said:
I'm bit interested in this country
myself. Some OF the men down home
got few sections up here along this
lIee, and I'm going TO have look at

name Of the Dominion as If 1t was
"Can'dy")-"but If 1t looks good we
will be up to stay next fall"
You see, It's like this" said the
man from Iowa---quite manifestly con.
tinuing an argument that had been GO
ing on in his mind for some time.
Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
get $40 or $50 an acre for It. and
every farm that's offered is snapped
up. In Saskatchewan we have Just as
good land that cost us 81 and ;12, SO
that man can take up FIVE or six
times as much there as in Iowa on the
same investment of money.
ut isn't the money, though, that
brings most of us up from Iowa. I'm
not sure that money would be enough.
The invasion is family affair. We
have no chance of keeping our sons
around us back home. They have
TO leave the farm and 60 into the big
cities of the neighboring States to get
work. To keep them on the farm and
In touch with US, we come up here

the farmers back there in Iowa to get
land for the stay-at-homes. The fam
lilies that come to Canada are kept
together and the families that buy
the farms they leave are kept to-
gether, too. There won't be any slack.
ening of the rush, either, for they still

One could almost see the mental
process of this typical American farm

new flag. new allegiance, new
land. and new associates. To aban-
don Old Glory of the Declaration of
Independence for a good thing in

motive.

RAPIDLY SEEING THE LIGHT
Every indication That Voters Are
Tired Of Being Humbussed by
Republican Party.

Discomfort with the tariff and other
Republican policies which Gov. Francis
and other observers have found to ex-
partly told In the Massachusetts cleo
tion.
II will be remembered that in that
election the Democratic candidate for
governor made his campaign on a
straightout Democratic platform o.
tariff for revenue, state rights and
economy In the administration Of the
government. Nor is 1t forgotten that
by the aggressive advocacy of these
Democratic principles he came near
reducing the great Republican majori-
ties of recent years to the vanishing
point.
The observations cited show that
the feeling of distrust in the Repub-
lican party, and of returning conf
dence in Democratic principles. which
came so near defeating the Republican
party In Massachusetts,. is not local to
that state.
The Republican party is to-day In
bO"S' III W VI a
successful confidence game. BY ex-
travagance and by legislation In be-
half OF special interests 1t has brought
the government to the verge of seri-
GUS financial difficulties. BY false
promises and broken pledges II has
disappointed the great body OF Ameri-
can citizenship which trusted that II
would reform itself and rescue the
country from the difficulties into which
the Republican party has brought 1t.
The American people do not under
stand, and do not want to understand,
the reflnements of political craft by
which the Republican leaders are try
ing to make them believe they are
getting what they voted for in last
year'f election. They know better
and ttey cannot be induced to put
faith In any promises the Republican
party may make next year.
In the west the people are devoted
to the Democratic principles of state
rights, fair tariff and economy in gov
crnment. For years the Republican,
party has won its victories by pre-
tending to favor these principles. And
the people are at last nearly con-
vinced that the only way to make
these principles effective is to intrust
their enforcement to the Democratic
party

Manufacturer and the Tarin.

The recent downward revision of
the tarifl is producing some strange
results. r. and J. Dick of Glasgow
have decided to establish factory in
New Jersey in order to supply their
American trade with their betting
product. The biggest lead pencil man.
ufacturer of Nuremberg, Germany,
has decided to locate branch fac
tory in the United States for the same
purpose and some of the French silk
houses are arranging to establish
American branch factories.
American labor will, of course, gain
by this action, but 1t means the loss
of all former revenue received from
the tariff on importations in these
lines 1t is an acknowledgment on its
face that the revision of the tariff was
upward and that the foreign manufac-
turers have found Ii more profitable
to establish branch American fac
tories than to stand the tariff extor.

Cannon's ArroQance,

Mr.. Cannon refuses to recognize
the changes that have been wrought
in business and industrial conditions
in the last dozen years. He refuses to
admit that Industries which required
considerable measure of protection
in 1897 have waxed fat and formed
monopolies under the shelter of the
Dingley schedules and are now using
for the purpose of extending and per.
petuating that monopoly the tariff
protection that may have been needed
then. He refuses TO admit that the
wool trust, the steel trust, the cotton
trust and other monopolies have used
and are using the Dingley and Payne
schedules to advance prices to the
American consumers. who are denied
the protection from extortion that
would come from reduced tari..
schedules furnishing a show of compe-
tition He makes no claim that
either the wage earners or the con-
sumers have benefited by the in.
creased tariff schedules, and he is too
stubborn TO admit, in the face of es-
tablished facts. that the only benefi-
cents of the new law are the already
overprotected manufacturers. The
speakers attitude is but another IL
lustration of the arrogance of the
interests"
