he was SO near starving that he

greens, deluged in vinegar, and
gobble it down like a famished
dog.

Lessons of Fordney Bill.

The Toronto Mai and Empire points to the Fordney
tariff bill example to Canadians of how interests
which usually disagree the question of protection
have united in its support national policy THAT
is the point, says this paper that Canadian
tion should be fixed upon, instead of being directed
to the adverse bearing of the tariff upon the
trade OF this country. While the Fordney tariff will
close the United States market very large volume
of Canadian trade. and while that is far from being
matter of qualification this side of the line the
public opinion of which it the creation is
to which this country contributes. Fault finding or
criticism on the part of Canada would be futile and
unbecoming. But the fact that the American people,
Of the rural districts well as of the towns and
cities, are in pact to maintain the protection of their
industries ought to be lesson to the Canadian peo-
pie. Notwithstanding the free trade preaching that
comes from united farmer platforms it is safe to
predict that in the not distant future the farmea of
this country will join hands with the other producing
interests here in support of tariff for the protection
of Canadian industry whole and for the benefit
