THE PRESIDENTS ARGUMENT.

I'm his speech Yesterday at the M
tiOnal Corn Exposition President Taft
successfully exposed the superfciality of
the complaint that the Canadian red
rrocty agreement will hurt the Ame;i-
can farmer. The politicians at Washing
ton who deprecate freer exchanges with
Canada think that they have made ont
4 case when they say that the domestic
farming interest must be protected at
alI hazards against the competition of
Canadian wheat and dairy products.
But they do not take the trouble TO
show bow that competition would hurt.
President Taft and Secretary Wilson, on
the other hand produce facts and fig
ures 10 prove that the true interest Of
the. American farmer rs well as the
American manufacturer and t,,c mer-
chant will be served 10y freer trade with
the Dominion. whose soil fits il for the
production Of materials which can never
come into injurious competition with the
products Of the United state.
Canada is now in the same situation
relatively that our Western prairie
states were i'm thirty or forty years ago.
II is new country devoted TO agri-
culture, and naturally tributary 10 the
more advanced states on orr northern
boundary line. as they were formerly
tributary 10 the Middle West and as the
Middle West was once tributary TO the
region east of the Aleghanies. As the
Middle West has grown it has turned
to the OiyPrsitCation of its industries.
10 manufacturing as wei as TO more
specialized farming 1t has ceased 10
produce wheat only and taken 10 corn,
stock raising and dairy farming The
centre OF the wheat growing area has
moved westward. hut that migration has
not injured the Middle Western farmer.
whose land has increased in value and
now brings a price far in excess Of the
price paid f,r frontier land.
The President rightly argues by anal
ogy that if the opening of Kansas. Ne
braSka and the DakOtaS did not have a
disastrous effect on Iowa. Illinois. Wis
consin. Indiana ana Michigan. the qd-
mission Of Canadian farm produce can
not have a disastrous effect on Kansas.
Nebraska and the DakOtas. Solicitude
for the agricultural interest is ground
less. and the many expressions of senti-
ment from the Northwest which The
Tribune has quoted show that the North
western farmers are not alarmed AZ the
uToSDpG of more friendly trade relA-
lions with Canada. which will make the
Northern border STATES distributing
agents in Il lucrative trade with a new,
rich and rapidly developing territory.
The Northwest has only to consult the
experience of thc Middle West to see
that It will not be Il loser through such
q bargain.

Ter end he is equally willing 20 vote
for protection or for free trade.
Again, II might seem strange for Mr..
Asuuith and his followers to speak and
vote at once for Cobdenism and for
reciprocity, as though one should vote
at once for license and for prohibition.
For there is surely nothing more incon-
gruous than linking together of reci-
urocity and Cobdenisn. The two are
irreconcilably antagonistic. They cannot
exist together. The adoption of reciproc-
itv predicates the existence of pTotec-
ton. Nor was there anything more re-
pugnant and revolving to the mind If
Golden than the idea of special and
preferential arrangements between two
nations. He regarded the existence, or
even the possible establishment, OF such
relations rs the consummate iniquity If
the protective system. aud it was large
~ in order TO preclude the possibility
of making them that he insisted upon
free trade. Yet here are his disciples
approving and championing the very
thing which was to him the sum of eco
nomc villanies!
Emerson held however. that consist
ency was something with which great
mind had nothing to do. and the Emer-
sonian philosophy is pretty widely prev
alent in the politics of other lands rs
well as of the United Kingdom. What is
essential and significant is the fact that
Mr. Asquith IL able to carry his whole
coalition with him against tariff reform,
and that with all his controversial deX-
terity and intellectual resOurcefulnesS
Mr.. Balfour has not been able TO consoll-
date all the Unionist forces upon protec-
ton. His prophecy of the ultimate
triumph of tariff reform may be- full
filed. but not this year Meantime Mr..
Balfour deplores TN Canada what he
would adopt in the United Kingdom
while Mr.. Asquith commends and sup
ports in Canada what he would forbid
and condemn at home.
