Durham. He l‘et't’i\t'd a severe lesson when Reciprocity was withdrawn . But, in- stead of being ruined. he found a more stable market in Great Britain, which has persisted to this day. Instead of sending his crops across the border he fed them on the farm, retained and improved the fertility of the soil, and by selling dairy produce and cattle became more permanently prosperous than was possible under a delusively profitable market across the line. In time the National Policy expand- ed the i'armer’s home market. The gold he received for his produce, in- stead of going out ofthe country to purchase goods. was kept in Canada for those who had begun to make things that formerly had been im- ported. and who bought things of him that otherwise would have gone abroad. This meant better prices for the producer, as it also meant greater earning and spending power in the manufacturing towns.

These two things together inevita-t bly prevented the Continentalists from having a great vision of the fu- ture of Canada.

At the time of the joyful abandon- ment of the idea that the United States could be the main prop and stay of Canadian prosperity the Canadian peOple had $236,161,062 in the banks. To-day they have $925.000.000 in the banks. Then their trade beyond their own borders was $304,475,736 a year. Now it is $«S4S§*,(i(i0.000. Then the flow of British capital was so small that no returns were avail- able. Last. ycar $185,000,000 came from Britain to Canada, exclusive of individual amounts for investments. and the money brought by 112,000 peonle who vame from Britain to Brighter Britain. The Liberal party, in pursuance of a platform written in 1893, asked Wash- ington for Reciprocity in 1897, and was repelled. The immigration tide then lie-Pan to flow, and is flowing still. At that very time the instinct which had turned aside from the Re- ciprocity adxocated in 1891 re-asserted itself â€"t..is time in the unfamiliar guise 01 a Liberal Governmentâ€"-and in 1893 the VFW of Reciprocity WhiCh had Emmi 1"}1' "”(JLV years on the Can- adian Str‘vt: Rook was repealed.

We have said good-bye to that trade and we 110‘? put all our hopes upon the British trade." And Great Increases in Trade Have Made Canada a Brighter Britain Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s'repndiations of Reciprocity with the United States be- ginning in 1898 and continfling until 1907, was endorsed by Liberals and Conservatives alike. The country was behind him. The future was before him. Remember the difference between the Canada of that day and the Can- ada which Sir Wilfrid vainly thinks has turned back, with hungry eyes to the policy he so patriotically aban- doned. The magnificent point of this situa- tion is that the turning away from the United States (which for thirty years had treated Canada as a commercial factor with good-natured contempt). and the newfound belief that Canada could march along the road to nation hood without regard to the business goodwill of the Unite‘i States; were followed by an expansion of business that the firmest believer in her destiny would not have dared to prophesy in. the days when Reciprocity was an Article of Faith and a veritable Pro- mise of Hope to so many peOple. became known to the people of Eu rope there was a hankering after Re- ciprocity. In 1891 a general election .was fought cn the question. and the advanced Reciprocitarians were heat- en. The issue was destined to keep away from the ballot-box for more than twenty years. 1302st ABOUT THE DEAL fOUR WE fARMER PO!NTS ABOUT THE DEAL. fIVE “The wise man often changes hid mind; the fool never”â€"a way of say- ing that the political wisdom of to-day is the political foolishness of to-mor-' row.

Prices For Which He Sells Have In- creased More Rapidly than the Cost of What He Buys It is nothing to show that Sir John’ Macdonald was serious or merely asJ tutc in advocating Reciprocity, forty; thirty, twenty years ago. He is not: with us now. We have conditions to which his utterances do not apply. Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s position is dif? ferent. lie we. an advocate of Reci- procity.

Always when a country adopts a new and definite line of policy, some special. tremendous work is under- taken, which embodies that policy and becomes its monument. That is as inevitable as that day should follow night. It. may be undertaken by mem- bers of the community, whose efforts may coalesce in several enterprises, or the Government itself may launch some scheme in the name of the coun- try. The Grand Trunk Pacific Scheme is a Direct Result of the Abandon- ment of Reciprocity Canada furnishes two outstanding examples Ol this. The logical outcome of Confederation was an ocean-to- ocean Canada. The logical necessity of an ocean-to-ocean Canada was an ocean-to-ocean railway. The Canadian Pacific had to be. It. was first under- taken by the Government, and was then committed to private hands, with Government assistance. When the abandonment of the Re- ciprocity idea was so quickly succeed- ed by a marvelous expansion of busi- ness, and. as Sir \Vilfrid Laurier said, “We now put all our hopes upon the British trade." the policy of fiscal in- dependence had its sequel in a vast engine designed to establish that in- dependenceâ€"the National Transconti- nental Railwayâ€"which is to be oper- ated by the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail4 way, to which the backing of the pub-‘ lic treasury was liberally given. The election was won by the Gov- ernment, and the railway was begun. In 1908 the Government went to the country againâ€"'not on the wisdom of the bargain, but on the necessity of completing the job. “Let Laurier finish his work,” was the victorious slogan.
