These official figures Of our trade
with Canada for the last five years
show that she is a pretty good Gus
tor.er Of the farmers Of the United
States and that she is q country
whose trade the farmers should cul-
tivate and seek
It has been shown that mixture OF
Canadian wheat and American wheat
makes a higher and better grade OF
-four which commands better price
In the markets Of the world thaa the
-four made from either alone. Can
ada ships her surplus wheat TO LiV-
erpool and other foreign markets the
same as we DO and the only differ
snce ia the question Of freight rates.
elevator facilities, etc. 1t is claimed
By those who are competent TO Judge
that il the United States could con-
troll through her own ports the ship
ment and export OF Canadian wheat,
that it would enable this country to
better regulate and control the price
of wheat and steady its price and pre-
vent corners and excessive fuctua-
tons.
Canada raises CRASHED cattle but
is unable to make corn-fed beet. The
farmers OF the United States lave
a surplus Of corn and other cattle
feeding products, purchase the grass
fed Canadian cattle, and cornfeed
and sell them to a greater advant-
age, thereby utilizing their farm pro-
ducts TO a better profit
; Let me illustrate The farmers
of our section likewise raise corn and
hay. They go into other states and
purchase young mules and feed them
and ship them, when grown and fat
tened, 10 other states at a nice pro-
fit, thereby making their farms more
profitable and furnishing use and
consumption for their corn and feed
stuffs. Would our farmers think 1t
a wise policy to be compelled to pay
a tax of twenty-five or thirty dollars
per head on each mule which they
bring in from other states for feed
ing purposes and then when the
mule is ready for shipment to be re-
quired TO pay another twenty-five or
thirty dollars for the privilege OF ship
ping and selling in another state!
This forcibly illustrates the truth
and correctness of the Democratic
theory and policy of government
J which stands for larger trade and
commercial peace and facilities, believ-
( ing that there is profit both in buy
I ing and selling and that the pros
perity of the country viii be best pro-
NOTED to all the people when there
are few shackles upon trade and ar
tifcial conditions are destroyed, and
competition and sale and purchase
