“Reciprocity With Canada" is essen-
tially a political question. but not nra

in order that there may not be the
slightest misunderstanding. however.
let me say at the beginning that. 1 am :
a Republican and a protectionist.
standing squarely on the Republican
notional platform. accepting fully the
declaration of my party that the ML
fcrence in the cost of production at

plo to any rate of duty in our tariff
laws in the future whenevor tho facts

sauteed and equipped for that pur-
pose.
ii‘m such a bonid l have worked and
voted. and for legislation to that end
as well as for reciprocity with Canada
i ask the earnest support of both pain
lies.

any country is and always wlli,bc a
political question. but i also believe
that with the policy once fixed and do

a buslnoaamatter and divorced from
party politics. and it. is in accordance
with that belief that i shall discuss
the pending reciprocity proposition.
A protective-tariff policy pre-suppos~
es reciprocity and trade agreements. A
free-trade policy has nothing to give
in return for concessions, and hence
nothing to gain from thorn.
Since the Republican party was or-
ganized and while. it has been in pow-
er there never has been a time but
that reciprocal agreements with other

claim that the removal of the dniyou

that the opposition {in this reciprocity
agrmment, no for on those thlnn are
concerned. is hast-d largely upon an.
prehonslon and not on facts. The pro
duruon of butter in Chanda amounts
to about Honolulu pbundn. Ten years
ago in the llniird States we produrml
l,iili.iib2.iill2 pounds of butter. all at
which we consumed. except about s.
000.000 pounds. That was 10 years
ago. Canada cxiairted butter lost your
to the amount of 4.000.000 pounds tr
all the world. and if it had all come
to the United States It would have for
dished to our people about two-thirdn
of one ounce por enplts. Not enough
for use on the lm-nkfast tables of this
great country of ours for a single day

Now, you can explain these marvel-
ous changed in any way you see fit, but
one thing is clear to everyb y. and
that is that the food pioducers in this
country are constantly decreasing and
the number of food consumers for
more rapidly increasing and the result
can not be other than that farm pro

and in my judgment all of the agricul-
iural wealth of Canada can not stay

in these reciprocity proviaians worthi‘
of mention; and yet. so far as i am
itinformed. our people stand for it, be-
lieving that the general prosperity
which will come to Canada and which
will also inure to this whole country
because of it are such as to justify
that support and that we and we only
