Subscribers In Canada $l.00 per yea' Thus the secret is out-The mystery explained---- The con- duct of the Globe, during the year 19ro is accounted for. It was spreading the net; it was setting the snare by which President Taft expected to catch the Canadian goose, that he found was laying the golden eggs. Taft has always been known as "The Big Man" and at no time in his life, and upon no occasion in his life has he shown himself to be a bigger man, than when he got control of the editor of the Globe, and through him, the Globe newspaper, and through it the premier and fi... nance minister of Canada, and got the whol'e bunch of them to work for him and carry out his ideas and do his beck and call in order, that he might secure a treaty with Canada, which he cch% not have secured had he started an agitation on the other side of the line. SEA/hen a clever general wishes tdl get advantage of an opposing army, he is always much safer to get control of spies in the oppos- ink camp, than to send in spies ofhis own; not only can they do better work, but they can work without being detected. My readers will note that the editor of the Globe started out by saying that he went awav for a. rest, but he wound up by hiking off from Washington to Ottawa, as political envoy bear- ing a message from Taft to Laurier cm reciprocity. During the year 1910, the Globe was not giving expres- sion to the feelings of Canadians, it was not giving expression to the opinions of the directors or shareholders of the Globe , it was not even giving the opin- ions of the editor of the Globe, it was giving the opinion of Pre- sident Taft. Taft was a big enough man to know that if he could get con trol of a Canadian editor and the Canadian politicians, that they could do the work and the trap which he was laying would never be suspected-We played his cards well and he has cer- expressed an earnest wish to meet Sir Wilfrid Laurier or some member of the Canadian Govern ment at Albany, and asked me to prepare the way. That even- ing I left for Ottatwa. The only man who knew of these things was Ambassador Bryce, with whom I was in daily conference. Not until I reached Ottawa, did Sir Wilfrid know." INDEPEN DENT Facts and Fancies. JAS. A. LIVINGSTON, Editu Continued from page I in United States $1 50 per year ’l‘HE TERMS: ‘tainly earned the cognomen of the 'Big Man, he was certainly [too big a man for the pigmies he was dealing with. The hardy, robust, McDonald immediately undertook the job of acting as envoy and special pleader for the president of the United States, and made the trip through the rough country to Ottawa, where he laid the matter before the premier, Sir Wilfrid Laurier-No more thought about his weary body; no more thought about his weary mind, after the trials of that libel suit; no more craving for the delightful restful shores of the Atlantic ocean at Atlantic City.---) forgotten in the anxiety to work in the inte- cst of the United States and be- tray his own country into the hands of the enemr---Noble john Maynard. Now I know why the Globe newspaper haiped on reciprocal ty all last year. But Taft was wise enough to see in the editor of the Globe, a robust, able-bodied man, a man strong enough and hardy enough to stand the trip from Washington to Ottawa and bear the news that Taft had an ear- nest desire to see Laurier. Now I know why the editor of the Globe has lived in seclusioi1 in the United States this year--- His own country was too hot for him. I thought I had found out something the other day, but I didn't. I thought that I had found the answer to this proposition--- "If the farmers get higher nrices t' consumer will have to pay high er prices; if the consumer is able to buy at a lower price then the farmer will have to take lower prices." On Friday night last, the Tor- onto Daily Star came out with the answer to it and when I read An awful pity about Tait anxious to meet Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and yet could not meet him because he was separated from him by two or three hun, dried miles of rough country--- Poor Taft. Facts & Fahcies No. 2 After considering the whole affair I am inclined to exclaim as did Sir William VanHorn--"I am sick and ashamed." One :section of politicians, when arguing in favor of reci- procity,' tells the farmers that it will 'benefit them and another section of politicians arguing in favor of reciprocity tells the consumers that it~will reduce the cost of living to them. You will notice by the extract from Mr. McDonald's letter that Taft expressed an earnest wish "to meet Sir Wilfrid Laurier or some member of the {Canadian Government at Albany, and he asked me to prepare the way." How this double blessing going to come about, has b up to the present time, a g mystery to me. been, great Here is a third question, let the editor of the Star name me one article produced by the farmers, which will be benefitted by the reciprocity agreement.---- When the editor of the Star gets through with these questions I will give him three mo Here is another question, let the editor of the Star name to me one section in the Dominion of Canada where the farmers are not prospering, under the pre- sent tariff arrangements. Anew feature of rqc1procity was 'brought out in the House of Commons by the opponents of it the other day. Now I will give another, let him name to me one article that is produced by the farmers of Canada, for which they are not getting a good price. The editor of the Star was to- tally unable. to answer that simple question. It don't take a fool editor long to find a fool answer to a fool question on a fool subject like reciprocity. , . l-And the farmer will get as great an amount of money as he now gets for the smaller amount-That':, fine, 'aint it?---- Farmers can produce one thous- and bushels of stuff ,by working their land better, and get the same amount of 'money for it as they are getting for five hun- dred bushels and will have the same amount of money, but the cdnsumers will have one thous- and bushels to eat instead of five hundred-That will be fine, won't it? Instead of answering the ques tion, the Star went on to ex- plain that there was a great deal of land in the United States that was not being fully used (for agricultural purposes, that there are thousands of acres in Cana- da not cultivated. Even in the older provinces, the Star said, the land is only half cultiva‘t‘ég and the same id true of'the Oldfa portions of the United States. the first paragraph I thought the problem was going to be sowed --but it wasn't. The Star pretended to solve the problem, but it didn't---Che Star pretended to answer the question-But it didn't. Now, what the Star wants the farmers to do is to get to Work and cultivate more land and the Star wants them to cultivate it better. . If th Grmers will do this, the Star points out that they will grow a great deal more produce and they will be able to sell. it at lower prices and the consumer will get it cheaper. _lBy Lydia E.
