THE MANY THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, FRIDAY, JULY T, BENEFITS OF RECIPROCITY THE INTIAL PRODUGER The Man to Consider in the Recipro- , city Discussion Hon. Frack Oliver told Brandon electors that the farmers, when they asked for reciprocity last December, had little idea of the magnitude which the question would soon assume. 'No longer was the question confined to Canada. The United States and the United Kingdom were now , both energetically discussing it. He ac cepled as a first principle of econo mics that taxation should be heavy on luxuries and light 6n food stuffs. The initial producer had the right to dis )| pose of his product to-the best advan- tage. . His being permitted to' do so, and being facilitated in doing so, was . HON, FRANK OLIVER, necessarily and unquestionably in the Interest of every legitimate industry in the country, For every industry of every kind and description in £anada lived, moved, and had its borg abso- lutely apd entirely upon the work of the inirial producer in developing the raw material of the country. Any inf tial producer who opposed the rec procity agreement was opposing some- thing which was in his own interests, He repeated that every legitimate in- terest, in Canada depended on the con- tinued expansion of the initial pro- ducing industries, notably and above all others that of agriculture. The expansion of the farming industry de pended upon the profit the farmer could make and, In turn, the profit be could make depended upon the market he could get. Upon that prin ciple the Dominion Government had taken its life in its hands. It had in- troduced the reciprocity agreement into Parliament and wes prepared to press the question to a conclusion be fore the 'country. did nod believe that men from the broad prairies of the West would ever make a demand upon the Government fora policy of sectional interest, EQUALIZATION OF TRADE - That Will Net Hurt Canada, Says Hon. Mr. Fiaher QE In the last three years Canada has imported from the United States $630,000,000 worth of goods, and she has exported to the United States in these same three years $297,000,000 worth of goods, the balance being in round figures more than two to one of imports against exporis, sald Hon. Sydney Fisher. Now, what is going to come from this Reciprocity arrange- ment? The result will_be a largely increased export of Canadian products to the United States and an effort.to reverse the alleged evil of the adverse balance of trade. And there will be an opportunity for Canadians to sell more to the United States and to try té bring about a greater equalization of trade between the two countries. Is this going to be an injury? Is this Ging to be an evil? Those who prate galnst the evils.of the adverse bal ance of trade must reconcile their two posiuons and try to make out where they are at this point. A great trade with the United States will come about, largely by the export of Cana da's agricultural products. At pre sent wo import from the United States largely raw material, and we export to the United States some manufac tured articles, a good deal of ores, a good deal of minerals, a good deal of fish, a good deal of lumber, and by this arrangement we have an oppor tunity of exporting more of these articles' to the United States. 1s that going to hurt us? When you take your food, it costs 0 much to raise it, the farmer gets so much for it, then it costs so much to handle it and bring it to you, and the sum of these amounts is the cost to you, and if in addition to these amounts you have three and a half million dollars in duties, you have just so much to be added to the cost of this food to you. And if the duties are removed from these foods on both sides of the line, they will come from the original pro- ducer on the farm to- the eveatual consumer in 'the city just se much more cheaply by the removal of, these duties, and it will be a relief fromh taxation to that extent. 5 ENDORSED IN 1893 Resolution Adopted in That Year the Liberals Hon. W, 8. PFieldiug In one of hig quoted the Rohowing resolu tion of the Liberal party in 1898: "That a fair and liberal reciprocity "treaty would develop the great na "tural resources of Cauda, would "enormously increase trade and com- "merce between the t countries, "both countries, and would promote hase Mindly. relations letween the | the Republic which {get it, Mr. Oliver sald he | § argument of the Opposition press and A BUSINESS BARGAIN Reciprocity Would Mean Dollars to the Producers, Sald Mr. Paterson "Reciprocity is a straight business bargain, sought for years and years," said Hon. William Paterson, speaking at Caledonia. Personally he could see po two sides to the question. He spoke of the Opposition referring to two old gentlemen, late? two old men, and, lastly, two old fogies, such as Fielding and Paterson, having the audacity to go to Washington to ne gotiate with cute Yankees without a mandate from the people. Perhaps' these same people who refer to the agreement may learn more about it when they, too, become older and wiser. : "The whole trouble is the wrong party is to receive the credit," said Mr. Paterson. If the Conservatives had gone to Washington it would have been different. For twelve years this country had this same thing and ad- vanced wonderfully. For forty-five years we. were without it, and during that time Conservatives and Liberals alike fought to get it back. Sir John Macdonald, Sir Charles Tupper, Hon. George Brown, and even H G, BE. Foster, In 1891, had this plank in their platform. Both parties were commit ted to it. Now, why are they crying against it? 'Mr. Foster even wrote artitles for magazines in its favor, but now denounces it, because he didn't Mr. Paterson spoke of the Future development (iat would result by railways coming in. This would mean competition. Competition means lower rates, lower rates means dollars in the producers' pockets. TRADE ROUTES No Legislation Can Turn Trade Out of its Natural Channels Replying to the charge that rech' firocity would divert Canadixkn trade inte American channels, Sir Wilfrid Laurféf said: "If you attempt to pre- vent the people from trading in nat- ural channels, no amount of legisla tion will accomplish that object; but let nature alone, and then the trade' will be carried on on Canadian lines. Why? Because we have the interior and the shorter and better lines. Take the condition of things to-day: Winnipeg can trade with Europe by way of the Unifed States; it can trade, ---------- a SIR WILFRID LAURIER with Europe by way of Canada. The line of railway from Winnipeg to Montreal is 1,414 miles, and from Montreal to Liverpool 2,760 miles, a total of 4,174 miles. From Winnipeg to New York by way of Minneapolis, Chicago and the American lines, the distance is 1,790 miles, and from New York to Montreal 3,026 miles, a total distance of 4,826 miles. The Ameri can line ia 4,826 mlies, the Canadian line 4,174 miles, a difference in favor ol the Canadian line of 652 miles. Do you require any legislation to compel trade to choose the Canadian channel? is It not obvious that for very self- respect trade will always take the Canadian line, because it is the shorter one? That is not all. We have had experience as to what has happened, and our experience has been that our trade over the Canadian channels has increased by leaps and bounds as against the trade by the American channels. In 1900 the total amount of Canadian wheat exported from Mont. real was 4.000,000 bushels; in 1910 it had increased from four million bush- els to 14,140,000 bushels. Of Ameri can wheat the total number of bush- els exported from Montreal in 1900 was 5,000,000 bushels, and in 1971 that had increased to 10,000,000 bushels. So, therefore, there is no doubt ah this point, the Canadian line must have thep reference because the Cana- dian line is the best and the shortest." ny FAVOR THE AGREEMENT ---- \ Centre Grey Liberals Do not Think It wil Lead to > Political Union' The following Yesolution was adopt. ed by Centre Grey Liberals: "That we 'place ourselves on record in fayor of the reciprocity agreement, believing that an enlarged market means more prosperity fo everybody. We resent the untrue and unpatriotic speakers, that improved trade rela- tions will lead to political union, and point them to the history of the treaty of 1854, where Republican Senators opposed the treaty on the ground that Canada would seek annexation if the United States market could not be otherwise obtained, while the repre 'sentatives of the southern States ache were opposed to enlarging the h- ern boundary) favored reciprocity as a 'means of keeping Canada out of the "Union. " he H. H. Miller, M I, speaking at Han over, declared that reciprocity in tural products would be.one of the si taciqrs in the breaking of the OPEN THE DOOR Share in the Trade of 90,000,000 Neighbors - | "At the northern orn extrémity of the temperate zone," says Sir Wilirid Laurier, "our" cereals' have more strength, our fruit bas better flavor, our vegetables have more delicacy than similar productions from other parts of the world, and under free competition, not barred in any way by tariff legislation, they will displace all other products on the tables of the wealthy. Our object to-day is to open the door of the American market, to open the door of a nation of 90,000,000, which has been closed to us for the last 50 vears, and when We are now, on tie eve of reaching that we are deluged by a plethora of sophis- try. We are told that if such an ar rangement is to go into effect and Canadian vegetables, cereals and fruits can cross the boundary line and be eaten free of duty by the American people it will be all over with the Can- adian confederation, and even -the British Empire will reel and roé¢k upon "fis foundations." "Let us discard these freaks of unreasoning panic and' let us approach this question from the point of view of common sense. All that we ask under these resolutions is to obtain for the man who works in the fjeids the best possible remun- eration for his labor." NOT A PARTY QUESTION Regret Expressed That Ri 2 es Should Have Got Into Politics W. H. Johnson, President of 'the Jrandon Grain Growers' Assoclation, ald it was regrettable that the recl ywocity question had heen taken into party politics. When the farmers were at Ottawa ' the Conservative leaders had not been antagonistic to the farmers' demands. ' When the farmers overflowed .~ the treasury benches on that occasion Mr. Borden had said he had never seen those benches occupied by men in whom he had more gonfidence. Mr. Borden seemed now {0 pave lost that confi- dence. For some time there had been no antagonism' to reciprocity, but immediately the Government took up the question in a practical way the Opposition had become antago- nistic. It looked to him as if it were a political dodge in order to get into power. He was glad that their own Western friend, Mr. Haultain, bad taken a different stand upon the mat- ter. The Saskatchewan Conservatives were to be congratulated upon having kept reciprocity out of party politics. He was sorry to hot¢ that the eastern capitalists had come put so strongly in opposition to reciprocity. The eastern farmers had stood shoulder to shoulder with the W eters: mers in making their demands upoft jhe Gov- ernment. They had been agreeg that what was good for one was good wr both. He appreciated the fact that the Government would have to fight a combination of parties and interests with money at their backs. The speaker said he was aware that a lot of people could be. bought by five dollar bills. That was where the trouble was going to come. If bribery could be prevented the Government would be all right. He knew that a number of Conservatives were tryin to whip him into line against rec procity. He would stand by those who had dealt fairly with him. It was all rot to say that the present prosperity of Canada was due to the National Policy. The price 41 Wheat had most to do with Canadian 'prosperity. Let the price of wheat drop to 60 cents a bushel and where would Canada and the farmers be then? H. H. MILLER, M.P. South Grey. 'who gave an address at Hanover In favor of Reciprocity. ORGANIZED TO DEFEAT -| Western Farmers View with Alarm the Source of the Opposition The farmers of Portage Ia Prairie recently presented an address to Hon Frank Oliver, in which the proposed reciprocity agreement was described a8 covering a very wide range and being a long step in the direction in which the grain growers wizhed to go. The address stated . that it viewed with alarm the ree from which the opposition to thé pact emanated and the determined efforts of organized capital and special interests to defeat the agreement. or PASS THE AGREEMENT Brandan Liberals adopt unanimous iy the following resolution: "That this meeting heartily en dorses the reciprocity agreement be tween Canada and the United Staves now before the Parilament of Canada for ratification, expresses its regret at the opposition to the agreement pass tag the House, and urges the Dover wveryihing possible parking Traub unuiug. ang and oihes Heit ts $54 19 have Dalton's Lemonade For those hot, sizzling days, nothing so refreshing as Dalton's Concentrated Lemonade.
