AGREEMENT View as Debated on a Railway Train---The Home and the Foreign Markets. By William Henry in Canadian Farm, Toronto were in the smoking compart- iment of a train between Montreal and iToronto. The day was particularly hot jand the trip so far had been uninter- testing. After lunch two well-groomed me n strolled back to the compartment land, lig hting their cigars and com- Hortably seating themselves, continued {a conversation which had evidently oe. jeupied their time during the meal. "It's a bad business, John," said {thet older of the two, "no matter bow iyou look at it." |= Yes, Mr. Brown," dojefully respond. ted the man addressed as John, "lt is {striking a deathblow at the industries of this country." "The worst feature," responded the other, "is the attitude of the farmers, They ave all prosperous, never mare #0; and that prosperity is due to the markels we manufacturers have made. {Why the farmers of this country are {simply rolling im money at the present [prices of farm produets.

"Oh, that's all right. guess we arg selfish enough, but don't. vou think that sell-preservation has a lot to de with mature in the factory as well as on the farm ?" ! "Perhaps it has," answered Brown, good-naturedly, "but you must, realize that we manufacturers have so much at stake in this question of re ciprocity that we are naturally alarm- el. You see, we not only devote our time to the industries in which Wy re interested, but our eapital is also stake | "Well, I guess we are in the same {ys jas yet, clean | of } { haul abroad: "We'll," said Mr. Trown, hesituting- "you sce we are not hit at all but it #8 the thin edge of the wedge we are afraid of. You must realize that the eountry eannot stop &t reciprocity in farm products. The reciprocity must inevitably lead to a general lowering of the duties.' "And vou mban to tall me," ques tioned the other, sharply, 'that hav. ing accused the farmer of "selfishness, although uninjured ag a manufacturer, vou are opposed to reciprocity because maybe, perhaps, possibly, something may happen in the distant futare to lower your own protection asa result of this pact going into force The young man. turned to both the manu facturers, speaking quickly and show ing by hix' volea for the first = time the heat--of- are was silence for a short time and then the older of the two men spoke. "A controversy about reciprocity in volves top many details of a train discussion, but as wp have stagted | will try to briefly state our position. The national policy of protection is the basis of the prosperity of our country both industrial and agrionl- tural. You on the farm and we in the city are dependent upon one an, other. Protection has built up our towns, and our towns have 'made vour markets profitable. It is much better for vou to sell to ns than in the far-away markets; other words, in the howe market the farmer gets the price of his products without having to add the cost of a long Tf we kill protection the whole industrial machine 'tumbles down, involving both farmer and manufacturer mlike in the, ruin; and be lieve me, free trade for the farmer and protection for the munufacturer can- not live side by side in the same coun- try.

"To a certain extent, yes,' replied the other, "but | cannot agre¢ with or, in {either your Mr. | premises or vour conclu: sions. - In the first place we will ket 'and acknowledge that a large part of the cost of a long haul comes out «of the farmer; but you must not forget, and as a manufacturer [| am sure you will' readily acknowledge that in many eases the home market i# not the near market.

"I am not complaining a bit, but, when the capitalists of Toronto recently signed a manifesto as to their unexampled prosperity it was looked upon by us as rather unnecessary.
