At an immense cost t-he Government is assisting to construct the transcontinental railway and now, by endeavoring to get reciprocity, they would render the railway of little use. Under this pact, if adopted, Canada would be obliged to admit the products of twelve favored nat- ions while their own tariffs remained. This would mean that each Canadian farmer would have 50 competitors against him. Australia can lay down mutton in Montreal at 7c. 8. lb. while the Argentina farmer pays" only 68c. - per day for labor. This islthe kind of competition the Canadian farmer would have to meet.
