CANADA'S FUTURE. ---- _" The nineteenth oentury belonged to the United States, the twentieth will ance that the promise of the prophecy will be fulfilled if Canada is out her own destiny. There bas never in the history of the world been 4 re- tion of their 'nataral resources. of the end of this We in a similar growth, "fw and the prize not sna fete from us by Sas. gece at the moment of victo' absolutely inevitable that with our sasaral resources we shall grow to be one of the most pemperne National Policy. which prompted men like Lord Strath- cona to lay the foundation of our great transcontinental railway system. These men realized this fact thirty odd years ago, at a time when the statement of it would havo raised a smile of incredulity among the generai public, and it is only now that the truth of the matter is be- wa Baantry, is i able to suppose that atthe time when th f these hopes h ready begap, Canada a8 should become fainthearted, her destiny and fling the fruit for which her sons have so long struggled into the argument to jactity, #o preposterous B 1, Yet this is what the Laurier Government is asking the people of Canada to do, and the only serious reason given for this most astounding request is the fairy tale of the $90,000, 000 market. This fallacy has already been so thoroughly exploded that it seems almost superfluous to refer far ther to it; suffice it therefore to say that if the United States market were like the Newmarket Canal--empty-- i " New unlike the Newmarket Canal, the Amer- ican gees market is already over- flowing, and emptying our surplos in it te simply mean that it would go to the same destination as now by another route. Everyone who has the most superficial knowledgo of the sub- ject knows that the price of wheat is in Chicago, but in Liverpool, and the $90,000,000 market argument is an insult to the intelligence of Cana dians. But the Government, we be- lieve, find that the Canadian voter is like the man from Missouri. He must be shown. It would almost seem as if the Government (discredited as it must be in the mind of every bonest man not wholly blinded by party prejudice) were offering this tinsel to the electorate for the express purpose of diverting its mind from the mass of scandal which has become synonymous with heart," We must do something, create some new issue, drag some herring a croes the trail, for our offence is rank and so they hit to Heaven," the ecircy Won ea ery Bln ' = tele Cheese' Isteetty <4 ps Sn cheese into the: 'British: market any other country In the world, .' that prices. remain so h rm in the rn aaa districts of our weatbon provinces.

The average valte per pound was 12- 63/100 cents. But, had Canada re- ceived for her cheese an average price equal to that received by the cheese- makers of the United States for their exports to Great Britain, she would have realized a total return .of only $21,753,118, or pts es of $352,990 How, then, Canada benefit in the matter of orioes by adopting the Reciprocity Agreement with the United States?

The above statement Is con- evidence of the reputable e article would undoubtely tend to ower the stz d of our cheese, abroad. The retrogression would re- sult in two ways First, cheese from the United States, and also from France and New Zea- len would mingle freely with the ee article on the Canadian dealers would be only too Hable to ship foreign -- to ci an cheese. Thus, Canada reputation would be tiigerttied. Uader the present protective tariff no such injury could be worked against the dairy Industry scondly, Canadian cheese would be {inported largely by United States dealers, and exported by them to the Old Country as American cheese. Slowly but surely Canada's position would be stolen by her astute netgh- bor. One would be safe In saying that very little of the Canadian cheese im- port by the States would be con- sumed in the United States. Tho deal- ers across the es "A ae use our. cheese to help and for notte cise: ont Tt ts well-known that the American market, for home consumption, demands a soft variety of cheese, that is not made in Canada From 100 pounds of milk the cheese maker in the States makes about 11 pounds of cheese, whereas In Canada, only & pounds of cheese are produced from 100 pounds of milk. In other words, the American cheese contains sbout 42 per cent of water, while there Is only 36 per cent In the Cana- dian, harder product. Thus, it may be seen that the United States dealer would have no other use for Canadian cheese than to export it 'The unfairness to Canada, of the eriire proposition is sull more mari- fest when the positions of France and New Zeaalnd are considered. As stat iubove, France and New Zealand would have free access to the Cana- dian cheese market In the same way as the United States. This would be se owing to the provision in the Reci- preeity Agreement that all tariff ad- reece granted to tne United States ada must also be granted to all British possessions, and to France with regard to certain articles (in-] cluding cheese) covered by the French 'lreaty. As has been shown In the state- ment above, New Zealand !s_ the second largest exporter of cheese to the British markets, and it Is well known that dairying is the New Zca- lander's chtef industry. France is also famous for her dainty makes of cheese, such Rocquefert. These two countries, while not yet as cele- breted exporters of cheese as Canada, are very large producers, and under Reciprocity they would remain pro- tected against Canada, as against the open market tendered to them by this country. Canadian cheese would still be subject to the aes ne duties in Frence and New Zealan od nce.

Yet the fact remains that th!s country alcne has international trade larger than that of Canada. Ninety per cent. of the exports are live stock and agricultural products. The country exports chilled meats in enormous quantities. Its populacion is largely composed of Italians, Spaniards Germans, who are contented with a lower scale of Nving than our Canadian farmers.
