VoL. IY, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1913,

To Canadians naturally the new tariff of the United States is
interesting in that toa great extent it gives without any quid pro
quo exactly what was offered under reciprocity, says an exchange,
The natural food products of Canada will find free entry into the
United States. A small duty will still remain on wheat, but even
in that product there has been ea very heavy reduction unless the
joker feared at Ottawa upsets the ealeulations. By broadening the
market for the Canadian farmer it may have the result of advancing
the cost of living to the Canadian consumer, . It might be entitled
“Won by Wailing” in that today Canada receives almost more than
she asked for two years avo, In British Columbia it should serve
to encourage the lumber industry, in Ontario it should stimulate
agricultural production. Itis far teo early to plunge into a learned
discourse ag to its effects, because for some time to come these will
be problematical and also an advantage in one place may be offset
by a disadvantage in another. It is supposed to he going to lower
the cost of living in the United States and as a much-advertised
panacea: is credited with many virtues it by no means possesses,
It may prove a big factor in the problem of the cost of living, but
after the first few months it may be doubted whether it will have
cut off very many heads of that modern hydra. Those who think

prices will come down all round with a run are probably doomed to B.C

disappointment. It would not be at all surprising this time next
year to find prices just alittle higher than before, The cost of
living is governed by many circumstances entirely outside the action
of the tariff. .

People must eat. Whatever
else they may do without, they
must have food. Yet it is an

Canada will be honorably —dis-
charged. ‘The highest future for
this Dominion lies with the Em-

amazing fact, says an exchange,
that never was the proportion of
producers to consumers as low as
at the present time, Uf the cen-
tralization of the population of
the cities continues long at the

pire upon conditions of equal
status such as I have indicated;
but the unity of the Empire can-
not be maintained if its greatest
Dominion adopts the policy of
seuttling under the cover of
neutrality in time of. danger or

trouble. In days gone by men,
not only in Canada, but in the
British Isles have suggested, nay,
even proposed, the Empire's
dissolution, Nevertheless, its

present rate, the problem of
feeding the people will become
exceedingly serious. But, as
people must eat, it will be solved
in some way. Herein is a splen-
