Thinks Canada Fared Well
in Reel procity Agreement

OTTAWA, Ontario. February 90
That Canada has a good bargain in the
reciprocity agreement with the United
States, and that the agreement will
stimulate rather than check the in
vestment of British capital in the Do
minion, is the opinion of A. M. Grenfell,
son-in-law of Earl Grey. the governor
general, and a prominent English bank
err with Canadian connections.
In a cable message from London Mr..
Grenfell is quoted as follows:
From my recent trip to Canada 1 am
convinced Canadians fully realize that
progress and prosperity have accrued
to Canadian manufacturing and agri-
cultural industries from cheap money
sent out at a rate of over 100000, 900
per annum by English investors.
Effect on Investments.
Il am confident that the first thing
taken into consideration by the Cana
dian ministers would be whether this
reciprocity arrangement with the United
States might affect securities against
which these large investments have
been made. 1 believe it will prove of
inestimable advantage to Canada. Great
material benefits will be derived by
the whole Dominion in both agricul-
anu AAuuoll lcS
from the opening of American markets.
.The future prosperity of Canada
must be largely based on the sound
ness of agricultural industry, and the
enhanced value of western farm lands
that will result from reciprocity will
mean greater prosperity to English in
yestors. The new markets that rec
iprocity will open to the farmers of
the west will cause greater demands for
the products of the factories of the east.
Canadian statesmen have taken advan-
tage of the situation. 1t appears to me
they have secured splendid terms for
Canada in exchange for giving Ameri-
cans what Americans could have taken
for themselves at any time by simply
lowering their own tariff wall without
asking permission from Canada"
Laurier Statement Expected.
1t is probable the Canadian prime min
ister Sir Wilfrid Laurier, will address
parliament on the reciprocity agreement
with the United States before the week
is over. The question. his supporters as
sert, is being befogged In Canada by ar
tificials alarms raised over annexation ut
terances, by comments from the British
press foreshadowing the curtailment of
the British preference, and by fears of
the manufacturers that the next step
in reciprocity will extend to factory out
put.
Unless the situation clears itself nat
urally during the next few days, Sir
Wilfrid Laurier will endeavor to put dis

turhed minds at rest by an authoritative
reputation of the Interior designs WITH
which the Canadian and American gov
ernments are being credited by opponents
of reciprocity in Great Britain, the United
States and Canada. Sir Wilfrid will re-
affirm the declaration that the agreement
is trade bargain pure and simple. and
that its consequences will not in any way
tend to promote annexation to the United
States or result in the weakening OF Bit
ish connections.
Although the opposition in parliament
is showing more confidence. there is no
sign of any weakening of support among
the liberal members. 1t is doubtful If

Fear Weakening of Empire.
TORONTO, Ontario, February 20
Eighteen men, well known In financial.
mercantile and manufacturing circles in
Toronto. have signed a statement, which
was given out last night, setting forth
their opposition to the proposed reciproc-
ity agreement. The men are prominent
members of the liberal party, including
Sir Edmund Walker, president of the
Canadian Bank Of Commerce, and Sir
William Mortimer Clark, X. c., former
Lieutenant governor of Ontario.
The statement declares that the repeal
by parliament In 1897 of the legislation
then existing relating to reciprocity left
parliament without any duty or author
ity to negotiate any further proposals
along that line. 1t is declared that the
benefit of the millions expended In de-
veloping an unexampled prosperity in
Canada would be, to a great extent. lost
by reciprocity agreement. 1t is also
feared that reciprocity would disrupt the
unity of the Dominion and weaken the
ties which bind Canada to the empire,
making it more difficult to avert politi
cal union with the United States"

Taft's Warning Quoted.

In conclusion, desire to call attention
to the following extract from the Presi-
dents speech at Springfield, ILL.,, with his
attendant warning.
There are those conservative protec-
tionists who hang back from an approval
Of this agreement on the ground that it
is a departure from the principle of pro-
lection, and is the opening wedge to let
in free trade.
My own view is that no step could
be taken more in the interest of reason
able policy of protection than the ap-
prevail Of this treaty. The very existence
of the policy depends on our abolition of
the tariff where it is not really needed
under the principle of the last republican
platform.
IF we persist in retaining it in these
times of high prices and gradually ex-
hausting food supply, and base our re-
tention on protection principles. we shall
rouse an opposition that will know no
moderation. and will not cease radical
economic changes until it has removed
from the statute book the last trace of a
protective tariff
