The opponents of reciprocity III Can
ada an | in the United States ale using
the self-same arguments. In each
country it is complained that the farm
ers of the other would he injured by
the treaty. 1t is like echo answering
echo. The logical conclusion of these
arguments is to leave each country in
actually the same condition as it is to-
day, so far as the mutual hurt or bene-
tit of the farmers of either are con-
cerned. But what the Treaty will do
is to vastly stimulate trade between
the Dominion and the states, giving us
the benefit of lower prices on such
things as we must go to Canada to buy,
and according TO our northern neighbor
precisely the same advantages. And
the more trade the more profit. The
farmers refuse to lie buncoed by the
sophrites of Wall Street a~griculturists.

Good Streets and Prosperity.

Mr.. W. j. Ogden Armour has re-
turned from a tour through Germany
and insists that tie unprecedented pros
perlty OF that country is largely due to
the fact that the cities have fine streets
and the country districts admirable
roads. His position seems uDassailable.
for it is a fundam entail law of nature
that force moves along the lines of least
resistance. The city with the best
streets attracts most people, and there
most business can be done with great
est profit. Tie country districts where
good roads prevail are ever prosperous,
while millions of farmers are paying a
heavy financial penalty each year be-
cause they have to haul tl'eir produce
vel dirt roads.
1t is easy for us osay that Germany's
position is different from ours; that
she has been at the task for ages, and
that Berlin is an old city. AS a matter
of fact, most of the regeneration of
Germany has come in the last forty
years. Berlin was a badly paved city
when the first Emperor of Germany was
crowned, not much better than it was
in the days when Napoleon was in pos
session. The country roads had been
cut up in various wars lasting for CEN
turtles, and there were only a few main
highways which were up to the best
standards. Now me can tour in an
automobile witt comfort all over the
Empire, while Berlin is admitted to be
M of the most progressive cities III the
world and one of the best governed.
