WHAr A rARIFE DOES.

1t seems to be dawning on the
minds of the senators and men of af-
fairs generally that economic ques-
tions are not so simple that they can
be solved offhand by any country
without regard to conditions in the
rest of the world. julius H Barnes,
formerly president of the United
States Grain corporation, gave an ex-
ample recently in an address to rep
resentatives of farmers organizations.
The collapse of production in Rus
STA kept that country's normal contri-
button Of 100000, 900 bushels of grain
out of the world market. This was
not a benefit to the other grain pro-
dncing countries. Mr.. Barnes shows.
1t eliminated Russia as a purchaser in
the rest of Europe, and this reduced
buying power, so that Europe was
able to buy less grain, with, as Mr..
price"
The wall which the emergency tar
lift law erected against Canadian
farm products to lesser degree has
had precisely the same effect. When
the Canadian farmer is deprived Of
the benefit of the American market,
his buying power is reduced to that
extent. He has been able to buy less
Of our products. slowing up our in
dustry while. his grain has gone into
competition with ours in the world
markets.
The Generalization of the western
Canada cattle business alone makes
an impressive showing. The Cana
dian cattle trade in July. 1921. was
only $500. 900, about one-sixth of the
1852, 900 of July, 1920. The re-
action on American business is shown
in the fact that during the first two
months under the emergency act Can
ada's imports from the United States
were SS5,0O0,0OO, compared with
s175, 200 during the same period
last year. Mr.. Barnes makes plain
the American farmers direct interest
in world conditions in this statement:
IF the British sterling were at its
normal rate today, the present price
! level for flour and wheat in England
would net our farmers 81 per bushel
more, and if the French franc and the
italian Ira were possible to market
at the normal rate of exchange, their
present import cost basis for wheat
would net US in America $1.25 to
$3.50 more"
The rate of exchange will not rise,
| declares the Milwaukee Journal, until
a normal flow of commerce between
the United States and other countries
is restored. A protective tariff which
keeps out foreign goods, blocking that
reservation, it estimates is costing the
American farmer from 81 to $3.50 on
every bushel of wheat. he sells abroad

It is announced that the interstate
commerce commission is about to take
up the task of consolidating the rail-
roads of the country into a definite
number of systems. If the Hills and
the Harrirnans had been permitted to
carry out their plans this would have
been accomplished years ago and 1t
would have been done on business
principles. The commission may be
confidently expected to make a mess
of the undertaking as it has of every
other proposition it has touched.

I now am free to do. to choose,
Then OH be wise, my boy.
To choose the right. reject the
wrong
II you would life enjoy.
And have so many years gone by?
Is il so long my boy
Since you. little stranger, came
And filled our hearts with joy?
Yes. joy was In our pleasant home.
For grateful hearts were there,
For this dear treasure Heaven had
lent,
For us to guard with care.
Ilfe's morning sun shone brightly
then.
The future promised joy:
How could ! think that time so soon
Would those bright dreams de.
hiIoAs
But soon Il brought amiction's rod
And we were forced to bow,
And by the cruel stroke we felt
our very hope laid low
Yet why should I, with sorrows
tale.
Now blind your young hearts joy
Enough, that sorrow, well you know
Made you an orphan boy.
But He who heeds the fatherless
Has kindly led you on,
Secure, though dangers thick wer,
spread,
Till you are "twenty-one."
Now. while your heart beats higf
with JOY,
As you the future view,
Let gratitude find there a place.
For all this love TO you.
He speaks today-regard his voice
Choose him your guide to be;
Espouse His cause, and faithful
prove,
And He'll prove true to you.
Then when life's pleasant morn Il
past.
Twill gild its setting sun
with Heavenly rays, the happ.
choice
You made at "twenty-one"
