Reciprocity
alamo Duck

The Canadian election on the
21st resulted in the overwhelm-
ing defeat of the reciprocity
treaty with the United States.
Many reasons are given for the
result, among which are most
prominent is the statement that
annexation with this country was
the ultimate desile and end to be
accomplished through a more lib
eral trade arrangement. This
annexation bug-a-boo WAS work.
ed for all it was worth and those
opposed to reciprocity, which in
cluded the Canadian railroads
and manufacturers, spread the
country with literature and their
speakers spelled on the subject
from early till late. 1t undoubt-
edly had great effect in the re-
suit, but the real reason for the
defeat of the treaty, in our opin-
ion, was the attitude Of the Can
adian railroads, manufacturers
and big business interests. The
railroads were oppoped to the
treaty for the reason it would
lessen their tonnage from all por-
tons of the dominion to the sea-
ports of Canada, in cereal pro-
ducts; the manufacturers were
opposed to it for the reason that
they fear the American compe-
tition, and we'll they may when
it is known that nearly all the
manufactured articles of this
country are now sold in Canada
for less money than in the United
States, after paying the Canadian
duty; and the big business inter-
ests were opposed to the treaty
for the reason that the bankers
and brokers of Montreal and
other large cities Of that country
are not particularly anxious to
see their business diverted to
New York, Chicago and other
American cities.
Favoring the treaty were the
farmers of Canada, it was sup
posed, but the result in some of
the greatest grain growing sec
tions of that country controvert
this statement. Where the heav-
lest vote in favor of the treaty
was expected, they lost the most.
Just why the Canadian farmers
would vote against it is not easily
explained. 1t is easy to see why
the American farmer would be
opposed to it when the result of
the days trading on the wheat
market following the result of
the election being known is con-
sidered. Wheat advanced nine
cents in price in Minneapolis the
very next day, and this fact en-
couraged the American farmer
in adhering to the belief that he
would receive less for his grain
should the treaty be ratified and
become part of the trade laws
between the United States and
Canada. To the northwestern
farmer the defeat in Canada is
good news. 1t gives him better
prices for his grain, while it will
not increase the cost of the
manufactured goods he must
buy, as this commodity was not
directly touched in the proposed
treaty.
Land values in the farming
states will increase with the de
feat Of the bill and the northwest
will gain in many ways where j.
would have been seriously in
jured.
Politically the situation is
unique. The Taft republicans
and the whole democratic part
is enmeshed in the same wire.
It was a coalition Of Taft repuh-
licans and the democratic mem
bership in congress which passed
the measure through the special
session of congress just closed.
The progressive republicans were

such an abiding trust in this dark
hour The father we'll nigh wor-
shipped his beautiful girl of whom
he was so justly proud. Just before
the end came she drew his face
down to hers and kissed him twice
with a lingering caress. She was
more than a sister to the sisters.
The only brother will miss her COM

the table, was a basket covered with

she continued the study of music in

pronounced; her voice in song was
tender and appealing, as it was soul

age of II years, while member OF

as her personal Savior, and was bap-

son Baptist church. Years passed
on, "as the swift SeasOns roll" and
there came a quiCkening to her spir-
itual life. The care-free, happy girl
became a little more thoughtful,

note was heard in the voice, a more
