A WISCONSIN PAPER ON WESTERN
OANADA
Saskatoon Snskntcliewun Ono of the
Fuvornd District
The following clipped from the cor
respondence columns of the Eau Claire
Wisconsin Leader is but one of many
letters of a similar character that
might be published concerning West
ern Canada the land of No 1 hard
wheat and the best cattle on the con
tinent It is a simple matter to reach
the lands spoken of the Canadian Gov
ornment having agencies established
at St Paul and Duluth Minnesota
Grafton North Dakota Watertown
South Dakota Omaha Nebraska
Kansas City Missouri Des MoineB
Iowa Wausau and Milwaukee Wis
consin Chicago Illinois Indianapolis
Indiana Sault Ste Marie and Detroit
Michigan Toledo and Columbus Ohio
and by writing to or calling upon any
of Ihese agents at these points full in
formation can be secured This is a
great opportunity to secure a home
free of cost or if you desire to purchase
lands they can be bought now at prices
much lower than will exist in a few
months But read what the corre
spondent referred to has to say of one
particular district
To the Editor of the Leader The
rush of the land seekers will be to the
prairie provinces of the Dominion of
Canada The allurements of a soil that
yields 40 bushels of wheat to the acre
are too great to be resisted and an
immense migration from this country
may be confidently predicted People
here laughed at first at the idea of
any one leaving the United States for
Canada but the Dominion authorities
knew they had a good thing and they
stuck to it Their officials evidently
knew the value of printers ink They
spared no expense In letting the people
of this country know that these lands
were there and that they were exactly
as represented They did more They
sent out specimens of the crops raised
and samples of the grain We have
had them here at four consecutive
street fairs presided over by one of
their ablest immigration officers This
gentleman spared no pains He ex
plained the value of the lands and the
richness of the soil from morning to
night to all comers
All this told in the long run Sev
eral went up from here to spy out the
land and like Caleb the son of Je
puuneh and Joshua the son of Nun
brought back a good report and now
some ten families will leave here in a
few weeks for Saskatoon to settle upon
farms there and others are preparing
to follow Of course many will appear
shocked at the idea of any one leaving
the stars and stripes for the Union
Jack but patriotism is but a nomen
clature after all and our experience
has been that in nine hundred and
ninpty nine cases out of a thousand a
man is the most patriotic where he can
make the most money and do the
most harm to those whom he hates
Birds of a feather flock together
and so do jailbirds of the same stripe

THE PAYNE BILL
ASSAILED BY FRIENDS OF GUGAR
BEET INDUSTRY
WILLIAM ALDEN SMITH LEADS
Declares the Measure Would Benefit
Truetc Instead of the Cubans
Promises to Farmers of the West
Flagrantly Disregarded
WASHINGTON April 10 The fea
ture of tho second days debate in the
houso on the Cuban reciprocity bill
was an Impassioned speech in opposi
tion to the measure by William A
Smith a Michigan republican Sen
ators Spooner and Quarles of Wis
consin and Dolliver of Iowa and a
group of Michigan beet sugar manu
facturers In the gallery were in his
audience and ho was liberally ap
plauded by his republican supporters
as he assailed the republican leaders
who wero advocating the bill boldly
charging them with being false to
the republican doctrine of protection
He announced that he was willing to
vote to overrule the chair in order
to support an amendment to take the
differential off refined sugar
Mr Morris of Wisconsin another
republican who made a strong speech
against the bill also made a similar
announcement The other speakers
today were Mr Ball dem of Texas
and Mr Parkman dem of Louis
iana both of whom opposed the bill
and Mr Mondell of Wyoming who
advocated its passage
The democratic and republican op
ponents of the measure are trying to
get together on the proposition to
take the differential off refined sugar
The indications are that the debate
will be protracted The demand for
time to speak is great and there is
now no expectation that general de
bate will be completed until next
week
William Alden Smith of Michigan
was the first speaker He spoko
against the bill He presented the
question from the viewpoint of the
republicans Avho have opposed Cuban
reciprocity on account of the beet su
gar interests and said lu part
I am opposed to the measure be
cause in order to give it effect it be
comes necessary to violate a solemn
promise of the republican party de
liberately made in solemn convention
to the American people because I
believe it will be harmtul to the agri
cultural and industrial classes of the
United States whose great interests
have been confided to our care be
cause I believe it will be harmful
in tho end to the island of Cuba be
cause I believe that the principal
beneficiary will be the American Su
gar Refining company which does not
need our sympathy because I believe
that the people of the island of Cuba
vill receive no benefit therefrom
The farmers of the country he
went on have been encouraged by
the republican party in their ambition
to produce the sugar of the country
It was a distinct promise to the far
mer that he need not fear that the
republican party would permit the
cheap labor and cheap sugar of any1
tropical territory to be brought in in
a manner which would destroy the in
fant industry of the beet sugar pro
duction which the farmers of the Uni
ted States have under the fostering
care of the republican party been
building up during the last few years

BOTH SIDES ARE DIVIDED
Democrats as Well as Republicans
Differ on Cuban Reciprocity Bill
WASHINGTON April 9 The first
day of the debate on the Cuban reci
procity bill which opened in the house
yesterday was disappointing from a
spectacular standpoint There were no
sensational clashes and none of the
bitterness which was expected to crop
out on the floor came to the surface
The vote on the motion to go into com
mittee of the whole to consider the
bill however developed the lines of
aleavage and showed that the demo
crats arc quite as much divided on the
question as is the majority In the
division which is regarded practically
a test vote on the bill 177 republicans
and 80 democrats voted for the motion
and 41 democrats and 39 republicans
against it
WONT BE BRITAINS GUEST
Whitelaw Reid Declines Invitation to
Be Entertained
WASHINGTON April 9 Whitelaw
Reid head of the special embassy to
the United States at the cor
onation of King Edward VII has de
stined the tender of the British gov
ernment to become it guest during the
ceremonies The British government
extends a similar invitation to every
one of the special ambassadors under
taking to provide them quarters and
entertainment
The difficulty lies in the fact that the
invitation is limited to a six day stay
in London while Mr Reid finds it de
sirable to be there at least a week
preceding and a week following the
ceremonies so he has taken steps to
lease a suitable house at his own ex
oense
