The argument for .protection"' fifty
years ago was to build up manufactures
SO that the farmer would have '.home
market" for the sale of bis products.
It was claimed by the advocates
of protection that the farmer would
have his recompense when the "home
market" was provided. History, has
proven that the protection" idea was
correct as to building up manufactures
but now when the home market has
been established so that the farmers
have but a small surplus for export,
which is gradually growing less-now
the man who should be the leading
protectionist. the republican president
by calling 1t reciprocity wants to
food that home market" with a foreign
farm products free of duty.

in FAVOR OF RECIPROCITY.

Emerson Journal.
The following is copy of the resoln-
ton that passed unanimously at the
meeting of Emerson branch of the Grain
Growers Association held on Saturday
afternoon last, March 18th, moved by
H. Smith, and seconded by Geo. Turner:
"Whereas the Hon. Clifford Sifton
from his place in the House of Commons
on February %, claiming to speak for
the west, declared that reciprocity with
the United States was not in the
interest Of the western people;
''And whereas the Winnipeg Grain
Exchange, the Winnipeg Board OF
Trade aud the Manitoba Legislature,
by resolution have Also. in the name OF
the west, declared against reciprocity;
Therefore be it resolved that we, the
executive officers Of the Manitoba Grain
Growers Association emphatically
assert that the above mentioned gentle
man and public bodies, by their public
utterances and resolutions upon the
question Of reciprocity have absolutely
misrepresented popular opinion IN
Manitoba;
':And we further declare and re-adarm
that the tariff resolution placed before
the government by the Canadian council
of Agriculture on December 18th, l9l0,
is q correct representation Of the
opinions Of the people Of Manitoba
today;
@And we further declare that the
people of Manitoba will not be satisfied
with anything short of the following
action by the Canadian Parliament
during the present session.
II. The ratification of the reciprocity
agreement now before parliament;
Y. The complete abolition Of duties
upon agricultural machinery and ample
ments;
"a. An increase in the British pre-
ference to fifty per cent Of the general
tariff.
Signed on behalf of Emerson branch

wARDWELL q THOMPSON.
AMTI.REclPRociTy ARGUMENT.

The following is an extract from a
circular which IS being sent about the
state setting forth few Of the reasons
why the people OF the state of North
Dakota would be Injured by the passage
of the proposed reciprocity agreement:
!. Il is not reciprocal. agreement,
but rather business agreement bene
fetal to the manufacturer of the United
States and the farmer of Canada.
2. It will reduce the earning power
of every acre Of land in this state,
reducing the vaiae, forcing many Of
our farmers to Leave for Canada, and
buyers from other states will follow.
g. That if passed 1t will cost as much
to raise bushel nf grain as it does
now, and we will be forced to sell it
for less.
4. That the United Estates farmer is
entitled to his own home market. .
s. That for several years past the
price of all grains in the United States
has been moro than 10 per cent higher
than at Canadian points directly OPP
posite.
6. That it gives us nothing except
free salt and free fish.
z: That the proposed reduction on
salt amounts to nothing.
8. That the reduction of the duty on
fish is not worth considering.
9. That this trade agreement leaves
for the miller, the oatmeal manufactur-
or, the breakfast food companies, the
beef trust, the malt trust, and the steel
trust, either all or approximately all
the protection they have now, giving the
customer no benefit whatever.
10. That the biggest joker in this
proposed arrangement is the, free lum.
ber fake, the difference in freight alone
between the rough and planed lumber
(plained lumber still retains the duty
Of 31.5O would amount to more than
the reduction Of sl.5O per Thousand,
and that no farmer in North Dakota
will ever buy a foot Of lumber for less
than he does now on account Of this
so-called reduction. but the corporation
that uses ties, piles, telegraph or tele-
phone poles has been taken care Of in
the timber schedule, az these are ad.

will not be argued before Friday or
possibly Saturday.
Az we. have before explained, the
difficulties existing in the Icelandic
Lutheran church arise largely from the
differences Of opinion as to the literal
Interpretation Of the scriptures, One
faction protesting to believe that
all the Bible is inspired while the other
party believe that certain parts of the;
Book are not to be taken Just as they
are written, or that parts Of the Bible
