The Voice Of the House

In September Business (for-
merly the Book Keeper), a story is
told of the late Marshall FIELDS abil-
ity to re-stimulate the energies of
listless subordinates. A stock boy
in Fields store, who is now a trust
ed manager, had been in the habit
of sighting his duties, which were
principally the regular busting Of
the stock in his section. One day
Mr.. Field in passing through this
section of the store CHANGED to note
the dusty condition of the lids of
number of hat boxes. He paused,
bent down and wrote his initials in
the dust on several boxes, and then
walked away. The stock boy from
remote corner happened to notice
the master executive lowering
around the stock shelves. Soon af-
forwards the lads eyes fell upon
several potential looking M. F's. on
dust ridden lids. As he stared he
metaphorically heard the Voice.
of the house admonishing him, and
he mentally absorbed its meaning
and significance. 1t is needless to
say that he exercised the feather
buster more assiduously after that.
The incident also had the effect of
opening his eyes to a higher sense
of duty to his employer as well as
himself.

Journey together, this little motto
the simple words Of which read:

For the past forty years the Ca
madam farmer has striven to obtain
freer trade relations with the United
States. The farming industry of
Canada has grown in proportion to
the population Of the country, and
the Canadian farmer cries out for a
larger market for his products.
Under the present tariff conditions
the products of the Canadian farm
can only reach the American market
by the payment Of high rate Of
duty. Beet shipped from Canada
to the United States is at present
subject to a duty of twenty-seven
and one-half per cent, while for ev-
cry horse crossing the border for
commercial purpose the American
government exacts duty for one
fourth its value. The rates on other
farm produce are equally as high.
For instance, the rate on butter and
cheese is six cents per pound, pota-
toes and peas twenty-five cents per
bushel, barley thirty eight and beans
forty-five cents per bushel. And
still, the sale of farm products from
Canada to the United States during
the past year amounted to nearly
$19,000,000. or over fifty per cent.
more than that sold to all other ma
tons, excepting Great Britain.
But the Canadian farmer cries
out for a more liberal trade rela-
tions with the United States; cries
out>for reduction of the tariff rate
on the goods he has to offer which
will assure him a larger market
for his products. And the Ameri-
can government has answered his
call. Under the proposed reciproc-
ity agreement, the American gov
eminent offers the Canadian farm
er the trade terms he demanded and |
a reduction on all natural products
he may place upon the American
market. Under the proposed agree
ment, not only the Canadian farmer
will be benefited, but the American
consumer as well. And now the
Canadian farmer is fighting for the
adoption of this agreement and un-
Ter the leadership of Sir Wilfred
Laurier is storming the breast work

which was never seriously consid-

ian, has helped to- strengthen the
offered by the Canadians

ion Of annexation, or even step |,
coward such a movement, it is SIM
ply an establishing of the right to
exercise the supply and demand
which ought to be the
substantial base of the trade relation
IF two countries so closely allied and
endowed as are Canada
md the United States. And Sir
Wilfred Laurier, backed by the ex-
perience and foresight of his eighty
years, is championing the cause of
he Canadian farmer with that vigor
and strength with which he has ever
fought for the welfare of Canada
Turing the many years of his Pre-
niershlp.

1.-The American people owe much to
Salmon z. Chase. He entered the

he was able to make the department
