Reciprocity Relegated to Past
Ample evidence that reciprocity is no longer a live issue in
Canadian politics is afforded by the result of the by-election held in
Macdonald, Manitoba, last Saturday, when the government candi-
date was triumphantly returned by the largest. majority ever given

a candidate in that constituency.

The opposition press and speak-

ers tried to revive reciprocity asa campaign issue, but the Mani-
tobans, viewing’ the question from an economic stondpoint, and not
in a partisan spirit, gave a decisive verdict for the Borden- policy.

That Great Southern Market
The abandonment of Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s western tour has
been accounted for in various ways, but it now ‘appears that the

discrediting of his reciprocity policy i in the west was the real reason S.E.
In view of market conditions, it is

for the change in his plans.

hard to imagine what satisfactory arguments the Liberal leader

could have advanced in favor of reciprocity.

put by a Calgary paper:

The situation-is thus

The real fact of the matter is that Sir Wilfrid’s western
trip was called off because at the time of his trip and for
some weeks previous wheat and oats in Winnipeg had
been selling anywhere from 5 to 8 cents a bushel higher
than in Minneapolis and Chicago, whose grain markets Sir
Wilfrid insisted to the Canadian farmers in his reciprocity
arguments would be of such inestimable value to them!
Had he centinued his trip amongst the western farmers
. they would have laughed in his face. And yet, if Sir Wil-
frid had his way, the Canadian market would have been
thrown wide open tothe American farmer, who would
then have sold at whatever figure he might and cut the

ground from under the Canadian farmer’s feet—have, in —

fact, taken the Canadian‘market away frcm its rightful
owner, the Canadian farmer, No wonder Siv Wilfrid aban-
doned his western trip.

Cheap Moriey for Farmers

The Miner has advocated a policy of government loans to farm-
ers, and has devoted considerable space to expositions of the work:

_. ing of government loaning systems in other countries.

Tt is with

some pteasure, therefore, that we note the pronouncement of Hon.

Price Ellison, provincial minister of agriculture, who has publicly]" c

said:

It is my firm conviction that if agriculture is to be prop-
erly developed in this province, some means must_be found
‘of supplying the farmers with cheap money. The province

has several million dollars on-hand and I can not see whi -

it should not be loaned tothe farmers at a low rate of inter-
