GEEAT LIBEEALITY
DEMOCRATS FAVOR LIBERAL
TRADE ARRANGEMENT
They Are Always Extremely Liberal
to People of All Countries Except
ing Their Own When Intrusted
with the Responsibility of Tariff
Making
We favor liberal trade arrange
ments with Canada and with peoples
of other countries where they can
be entered into with benefit to Amer
ican agriculture manufactures mln
ng or commerce Democratic plat
form 1904
Liberal to whom Why to the Ca
nadians and peoples of other coun
ties of course Tho Democratic
oarty has an unbroken record of lib
erality to foreigners in the shape of
low duties and no duties on importa
tion from foreign countries that com
pete with domestic production
A liberal trade treaty with Canada
for example would mean free trade
in natural products only Canada
has given ample notice that she will
not consent to free trade in or even
to any reduction of tariff upon manu
factures from the United States So
If the Democratic party is going to
bo liberal In making a trade treaty
it is restricted to the removal of tar
iff duties upon Canadian products of
tho ftrm the fishery the forest and
the mine
Tho Democratic party would be lib
eral toward the growers of Canadian
wheat in enabling them to dispose of
heir cheaper grown crops across the
Dorder instead of being obliged to
ship them to Liverpool But what
about the wheat growers of the
United States who farm higher priced
ands and pay double the Canadian
wages for farm labor how would
hey fare under this avalanche of
cheaper wheat from the cheaper and
more productive soil of the Canadian
Northwest How would the New
England and New York market gar-
deners fare as against the competi
tion of cheaper Canadian produce
sent over the line free of duty How
would the border state farmers fare
who depend upon the home market
for their hay oats barley poultry
eggs etc
The Democratic party would be lib
eral toward the Canadians who want
to sell their lumber their coal their
iron ores and their fish in the Amer
ican maiket But how about the lum
ber workers of Maine Michigan Wis
consin Minnesota and Washington
How about the coal miners of North
Dakota Montana Wyoming and
Washington How about the thou
sands of New England families who
are supported by the fishing indus
try Every one of the interests
named would suffer sorely from the
unrestricted competition of cheaper
labor and lower market values in
Canada
It is known that the liberal policy
of the Democratic party with refer
ence to foreigners as carried out in
the Democratic tariff law of 1894
cost the farmers of the United States
five billion dollars in four years
Foreigners have reason to admire
Democratic liberality There is not
a foreign producing country in the
world to day that would not rejoice
over a Democratic victory in the
election of 1904 Every one of them
knows that such a victory would
mean lower tariffs and the privilege
or taking possession of the greatest
of the worlds markets Americans
however have no such cause to wel
come the advent of Democratic liber
ality The Democratic party never
yet passed a tariff law that was lib
eral to American producers and it
never will
Sound Economy
The very fact that our manufac
turers can invade the foreign market
is a proof of the success of protection
in firmly establishing the iron and
steel industry It has reached the po
sition in which it can use foreign
trade as a sacrifice market in which
to dispose of surplus production Of
course that means a bargain price
but it does not follow that the home
consumer is really disadvantaged If
production is not steadily maintained
prices would fluctuate severely and
the chances are that domestic buyers
would have to pay more than they
do even if paying more than is
charged upon occasional lots sold
abroad In the German Reichstag
K3MUSns
some time ago the manufacturers of
that country were commended for
their enterprise In forcing their goods
in foreign markets by cutting rates
on the ground that they were tlms
enabled to keep their factories going
and to furnish employment to their
workmen Instead of reviling the
manufacturers for such conduct it
was held that it was sound economy
and that the net result of the process
was a lower rate to home consumers
than would otherwise be the case
The same reasoning holds gcod in
this country also Pittsburg Commer
cial Gazette
As Maine Goes
The Republicans of Maine who are
right on the boder and know just
what Is involved in the proposition to
enter upon free trade with Canada- in
natural products only adopted the
following resolution at their state
convention in Bangor a few days ago
The Republican party stands for
tho reciprocity of Blaine and Arthur
and Harrison and McKinley and Ding
ley which covers the interchange
with foreign countries of articles
which we do not produce and our
own products needed in such coun
tries It opposes such reciprocity
with Canada as will flood our market
with Canadian lumber fish hay po
tatoes and other farm products as it
would seriously embarrass many of
Maines important industries and es
pecially that of agriculture Under
present arrangements our trade with
Canada is constantly increasing with
the balance largely in our favor We
believe in letting well enough alone
As Maine goes so goes the
Union used to be said regarding na
tional elections The saying is true
to day regarding reciprocity in com
petitive products
Canadas Protectionism
The Canadian Parliament showed
sound sense in adopting a resolution
to the effect that British goods to se
cure the benefits of the Canadian pre
ferential tariff should be restricted
in landing to Canadian ports In
other words British goods coming
WILL KEEP THE LIO ON
through the United States in bond
must not be allowed the preferential
tariff rates That is protectionism
straight and square It gives the
States and no fault can be found with
it If Canadians choose to pay the
higher cost of long railroad hauls to
the interior from the only open winter
ports of New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia instead of cheaper hauls from
Portland Boston and New York that
is their privilege That they elect
to do this however does not promise
well for reciprocity Canada is learn
ing a thing or two
High Average
There is constant increase in rail
road mileage According to the Rail
way Age of Chicago the amount of
track laid during the first half of the
year indicates that the mileage to
be constructed during the year will
approximate 5000 This though not
equal to the new mileage of 1903 is
still above the average of protection
years the average of low tariff years
being about 1700
Why Change It
The policy that has made the conn
try prosperous beyond the wildest
dream of the most sanguine a score
of years ago is that of a protective
tariff If that policy is right why
change it If it is wrong we all
should shout for its abolition but the
conditions the facts and figures are
all in favor of it and against Mr Luck
ings free trade policy Clinton Ind
Clintonian
Railroad Gains
The gain in gross and net earnings
of many railroads for June was most
satisfactory and indicates that the
tide has again turned The total
gross earnings of the Wabash road
was nearly 2000000 more during
the fiscal year 1903 than the preced
ing year The passenger earnings
show a gain of 147 per cent and the
freight earnings a gain of 55 per
cent
Prosperity and Pianos
Pianos to the number of 150000 and
valued at 50000000 were made and
sold in this country the past year
This would indicate prosperity indeed
and among the farmers and wage
earners most of whom were able to
possess such an instrument for tr
first time
WESTERN CANADA
Three Divisions Affording Great Chances for
Settlement Ranching Wheat Growing
and Mixed Farming
The old Romans used to say that
Gaul was divided into three parts
so is tho Canadian North West Gauls
divisions were political those of the
Western Canada prairies are created
by the unerring hand of nature
The First Division
Chiefly because of the elevation of
the country the absence of large
iakes and rivers and the operations
of the Chinook or Pacific ocean
winds which readily cross the Rocky
mountains in Southern Alberta
through gaps and passes the south
western portion of the Canadian prov
inces is regarded as somewhat arid
and less fertile than other portions of
the country
Although this has been a prevailing
idea in tho past it has been left for
American settlers who have invaded
this district within the past two or
three years to prove that splendid

crops of grain can be grown on the
and
While there are no large lakes or
rivers in this whole country there are
numerous fast running streams fed
the year round by melting snows in
the mountains furnishing an abund
ance of the coolest and purest water
the best for beast as well as man
Englishmen and Americans in the
western territories are bringing in
their herds as fast as they can and
leasing or purchasing land in lots
from 1000 to 20000 acres from the
Dominion government An idea of the
growth of the industry will however
be gathered from the fact that in 1899
there were but 41471 head of cattle
shipped and sold from the ranches
These figures ran to 55129 in 1900
and to 1G0000 in 1903 averaging 40
per head for the owners But it takes
a great many ranchers and a large
number of cattle to cover an area of
200000000 acres the area available
for ranching in the Canadian North
west
It is not at all necessary that large
investments should be made at the
outset Many men commenced with
small capital and small herds and
have worked themselves into large
herds and great wealth There is still
in the country plenty of room for
those who desire to go and do like
wise
The Second Part
The second part of the Canadian
prairies embraces the great wheat
growing belt of the country which
is easily a half larger than any other
in the world It includes about 150
000000 acres As it is comparatively
free of broken land large lakes and
rivers about 125000000 acres of it
an be brought under the plow Plac
ing a farmer on every half section
320 acres it can comfortably locate
preference to home ports as it should 800000 farmers or 4000000 of an
do It is the policy of the United agricultural community The
torial governments reports show that
m 1903 there were raised 16G29149
bushels of spring wheat off 837234
acres an average of 198G bushels per
acre off 440602 acres of oats there
were grown 14179705 bushels an av
erage of 3217 bushels per acre

69667 acres produced 1741209 bush
els of barley 2465 to the acre
and 32431 acres produced 292853
bushels of flax seed 903 to the acre
As but 1383434 acres or a little bet
ter than one per cent of the entire
wheat growing area of the territories
was under crop a little figuring shows
that 13 per cent of the entire country
nnder wheat will raise the 200000000
that Great Britain annually requires
from the outside countries It is a
fairly safe statement to make that in
twelve or fifteen years the Canadian
prairies will be supplying the entire
demands of the mother country
Throughout this entire belt there is
an enormous length of railway mile
age branches are radiating in every
direction from the trunks until they
scarcely leave a grain field more than
six or seven miles from a road and
ihey are all required for in the fall
and early winter the sight of the
trains passing to and from the eleva
tors at the railway depots makes the
entire country look like one hive of
industry In 1880 there were but few
white settlers in the entire country
outside of those connected with the
Hudson Eay Companys posts and
scarcely a dollars worth of anything
outside of buffalo hides exported till
1883 twenty years ago and now the
country has a white population of over
half a million the immigration of 1903
being 128364 40 per cent of the num
ber being Americans brought over by
the representations of their country

Large Quantity of Free Homestead
Lands
There is yet a large quantity of
government land for homesteading In
this country and as in everything
else the early bird catches the
worm Those who come first are
first served When it is preferred to
purchase railway or other company
lands they can be got at from 5 per
acre up This section cannot be
better closed than by showing prac
tically what is made by wheat grow
ing in this district The average from
the first of operations is twenty bush
els per acre Breaking the prairie as
first plowing is called is of course
an exceptional expenditure as when it
is once done it is done for all time
This costs about 350 an acre After
the breaking plowing and seeding
harvesting threshing and marketing
all expenses combined amount to
about 525 per acre that is if a man
likes everything done it will cost him
S525 per acre If he does the work
himself he is earning wages while
producing at that figure Now as the
average yield is twenty bushels and
the average price 60 cents 12 per
acre the difference betwen the re
sult and cost 675 is the profit of
grain growing year in and year out
in the great wheat belts of the Cana
dian prairie country If a man has
a half section of land and puts half
of it 160 acres under wheat which
is a very common occurrence he
makes 1080 on wheat alone and
should make if he is a capable farmer
enough out of other crops sale of cat
tle dairy and other products to keep
himself and family the year round be
sides
The Third Division
The third division of this great
country lies to the north of the wheat
belt between it and what is known
as the forest country As wheat grow
ing implies the raising of all cereals
that can profitably be raised in the
country the remaining branches of

mixed farming are dairying and the
laising of farm stock It must not
be supposed that dividing the prairies
in this way is saying that any one por
tion of the country possesses better
soil than another for such is not the
case all districts are equally fertile
but the topography and climatic influ
ences etc differ as well as the condi
tions for production Ranching and
grain growing are carried on quite
successfully in this northern zone
but it is found more profitable to com
bine all the features of the industry
An authority on the subject has
stated that agriculture in any country
never reaches the maximum of de
velopment until the farmers engage at
least proportionately in dairying
though the surroundings must always
determine the extent to which any
feature of the industry may be prose
cuted
Dairying
In the territories creameries and
cheese factories are to a large extent
under government control and as
such are working well In Manitoba
they are largely a matter of private
enterprise and from the reports from
that province they must be giving ab
solute satisfaction to the patrons and
promoters If a settlers farm is not
specially adapted to extensive crop
ping or if seasons or other conditions
are against the proper development
c large crops he has always plenty
of pasture and an abundance of native
bay for winter feed A small sum of
money buys a couple of cows and he
can soon be in possession of a fine
herd of dairy cattle and the came
may be said of swine and poultry
Markets
The mining districts of British
Columbia which consume an im
mense lot of dairy products are close
at hand and always afford a good
market for butter cheese pork poul

OLD FASHIONED
But Still in the Fashion
It is an ever new and interesting
story to hear how one can be entirely
made over by change of food
For two years I was troubled with
what my physician said was the old
fashioned dyspepsia
There was nothing I could eat but
20 or 30 minutes later I would be spit
ting my food up in quantities until I
would be very faint and weak This
vent out from day to day until I was
terribly wasted away and without any
prospect of being helped
One day I was advised by an old
lady to try Grape Nuts and cream
leaving off all fatty food I had no
confidence that Grape Nuts would do
all she said for me as I had tried so
many things without any help But
it was so simple I thought I would
give it a trial she insisted so
Well I ate some for breakfast and
pretty soon the lady called to see her
patient as she called me and asked
if I had tried er advice
Glad you did child do you feel
some better
No I said T do not know as I
do the only difference I can see is I
have no sour stomach and come to
think of it I havent spit up your four
teaspoons of Grape Nuts yet
Nor did I ever have any trouble
with Grape Nuts then or any other
time for this food always stays down
and my stomach digests it perfectly
I soon got strong and well again and
bless that old lady every time I see
her
Once an invalid of 98 pounds I now
weigh 125 pounds and feel strong and
well and it is due entirely and only- to
having found the proper food in
