The Annexation BugaboO

The bugaboo of Canadian an
nexation as a follow-up Of Cana
dian reciprocity has again bee n
raised in the house. Repre-. en-
tative Prince, a new Republican
member from Illinois. raised his
voice to warn Canada that
when we go into a country and
get contrJl of it, we take it. 1t
is our history and it is right that
we should take it if we want it
and you might as well understand
it. The speaker has said So, the
party back Of him has said so
and it does not deny that that is
its desire"
OF course the desire Of Mr..
Price and of the Canadian oppo
nents of reciprocity who will
gloatingly publish broadcast,
with graudy elaboration, the new
members remarks, is to play up
on the prejudiccs of patriotism
of Canadians to the end that a
sentiment against reciprocity
may be worked up across the
border sufficient to defeat the
treaty. 1t is not apt to succeed.
The Canadians are not so dull
but that they can realize that an
ncXation to the United States
will never come until Canadians
are ready and anxious for it. 1t
is true that, under Republican
rule, when 1--WE go into country
and get control of it we take it. 3"
But the imperialistic tendencies
of the Republican party have
been checked by Democratic SUI
prcmacy and even were they not
the United States would not be
apt to attempt to take" Canada
without Canadas consent, a pro-
ceeding which would assurcdiy
involve us in an undesired war
with Great Britain.
1t is quite within the realm of
probability that some day Canada
will become a part Of the United
States. But that day will not be
materially FASTENED or retarded
by the acceptance or rejection of
the present reciprocity treaty.
1t will come, if it does come,
only through the mutual desire
of the people Of the two coun-
tries and it is at best long ways
off. Sensible Canadians realize
all this and are not to be affected
in their judgment on the present
question by any such bugaboo as
the standpatters frantically
Aaunt in their efforts to defeat
reciprocity.

RECIPROCITY.

souri,, member of the Ways and
Means committee of the House,
has prepared one of the most illu-
minating letters on the subject of
Reciprocity that has appeared. The
document has caused much discus
sion among members of Congress
and is to be widely circulated.
1.-The lumber trust and the paper
trust are waging n fierce fight
against reciprocity" says Mr..
Schackelford "They are making
desperate efforts to get the farmers
TO join them. Wherever possible,
they have enlisted the papers which
circulate among the farmers. They
try to make the farmers believe that
by reason of the tariff, he gets moro
than the fair market price for his
products.
Canada has tariff which op-
crates against our products sold in
Canada. We have tariff which
operates against Canadian products
sold here. Reciprocity SIS an agree
ment between the two countries to
modify both tariffs with view to
more extend trade. A largo trade
has grown up between us and Can
ada. In five years ending June 80,
in goods of all kinds
We sold in Canada 1896, All 1916
Canada sold to us 93,913,673
Difference in our favor 492, SOB FOB
"Any country which buys from us
more thai it sells to us is good
country to trade with. No tariff
wall should stand between us and
such country.
Government statistics ending
June 30 also show these things
We sold in Canada $14, 172,075
Canada sold to us 2,549,201
Difference in our favor 11,622,S74
Cattle
We sold in Canada $1,57S,179
Canada sold 10 us 1,193.796
Difference in our favor 3S4,3S3
Meat and Dairy
We sold in Canada $17,011,017
Canada sold to us 904, 191
Difference in our favor 10, 106,826
Breadstuff
We sold in Canada S31 ,596,556
Canada sold to us 6,679,SS4
Difference in our favor 24.916 672
"You ask why Canada favors rec
iprocity if it is to give Ills the best
of it on these products. The an
swer is easy:
First, the Canadian tariff is adj
ded to The price which the Cana
dian consumer must pay. Canada
desires to relieve her people from
the extra price.
Second, Canada is willing to take
ner tariff off of the goods which we
sell her if in turn we will take our
tariff off of the paper, wood pulp
and lumber which she sell rs. If
our tariff against these products
were removed she would sell us q
still larger amount of timber pro-
ducts than she now sells us. How
could that hurt the American farm
er?
"Who, then, would be hurt by
reciprocity? The lumber trust and
the paper trust. Reciprocity would
bring Canadian lumber ana paper
here to be sold IN competition with
the American lumber and paper
This would give the American peo-
pie cheaper paper and the farmer
cheaper lumber to build houses and
barns So you see why it is the
trusts are making such frantic Of
forts to defeat reciprocity. They
desire to hold a monopoly of the
American lumber and paper markets
lac, the farmer be of good cheer
He is not the fellow who will bo hit
by reciprocity. He will be helped.
The lumber trust anu the paper
trust are the ones who will feel the
weight Of this measure"
