Western Canada Gisin Prices as Compared With Minneapolis Price The Winnipes Tribulie-friats two leading editorials in refefencd to. tions which exist between the East and West. They are both of vital interest to. the West, the grain mat- ter especially so to the farniers. The Tribune, an indep mdent in poli- ties, says: GRAIN PRIGES. More, wheat price facts shputs the Winvipeg Telekram, and its usually convincing logic, * builds up. an. anti-reciprosity atgument on its own fairy-tale facts ? The editcrial say8 Qn July 31 closing wheat prices: were: Winnipeg : fhe paper mentions no. grade aud omits tha fact that Chicago prices are-bised on Katisas Winter Red variety and cannot ompare ; with the local and that only: Minneapolis and Duluth are of om- parison with Wi Even at fatitications. shold have said: 1085 : 106 100 102; 3: 4 102 10. 98; 34. 5 Other grades show a cor a ingly wide difference in price? The Telegram sprung this again in the. same article: The Telegram has shown that on tha very day of th Saskatchewan elections, July 11, Winnipeg prices exceeded those of any i point. The Telegram must agaia examine the facts, which correct- ly stated are as follows: Wheat quotations, July 11 7 - Dill. in favor of dy 05; 1.052 1.00 53 58 W1 104 -85F 164 ISE The same paper also into eestasies over dts discovery of the nearness of prices between the two points. If it examines the facts ? and not ts facts it will discover that-it is Kgnorant of the economic facts it boasts. Canadiay high grade wheat rose to nearly the equal in Value of American high grade wheat only after it. was discovered there was little high grade to: market in Ganada. It is a marvel that west - ern Canadian anti-reciprocity grain dealers didn t boost it above Ameri- can prices. They might as wellhave done so since they would have lost very little money, anyway, there be- img practically none offering. The Brains that are really offered are low grade. The following facts (not Telegram Facts or econo - mic necessities ) show: Wheat in store in terminal elevat- ors, week ending July 12: 1 hard .. 931 tushels 81,524 bushels 566,471 bushels 388,595 bushels 388,595 bushels 2,624,438 bushels 4,957,128 bushels July 25, 100 cars of Brain Were inspected at Wimnipeg; of these one graded 1 northern and the teat bulk were lower. On July 26, 115 cars were inspected and only, two were 1 northern. On the 30th, 73 cars were inspected and mone were 1 northern, while only two were 2 northern.

The Tribunes second article: RIGHT MUST TRIUMPH. lt;The West is duly gratefui to the able advocates in the east who are ing for, greater freedom in mar- Keting the produce of Canada. Al- most daily one. of several of the Jeading journals are strongly urging upon Premier Borden . that hq should heed the demands of the West. j Almost 2 page in the last issue of the Toronto Sun is devoted to the cave of the West. An interest - ing contribution appears from George Anson, writing from Sin- taluta. He gays: (astern pabers on the side of the protected manu- facturer are in the habit of describ - ing Westerners as kickers without cause. The principal crop of the West, says one, is not wheat du grouch. It s the,old story. Those in the enjoyment of special privilege soon come to believe that the com: mon people who oppose them are nothing but turbulent raseals, On the other hand, Edmund Burke states the case thus: I am not one of those who think people are never wrong. They lave been so, frequent- ly and outrageously, both in other countries and in this. But I do say that im all disputes between them and their rulers, the presumption is at. least upon a- Par in favor of the people ; adding they have no inter - est im disorder, and when they go wrong it is their error and not Nearly 30 years ago, continues Mr. Anson, the West was excited over the refusal of the Ottawa Gov- ernment to repeal the monopoly clause in the Osnadian Pacific char- of between ter, which deprived us of railway competition. Then, as now, we were ungrateful tetiegades. The East had built the Canadian Pacific for us and wer ought to be satisfied. Troops should be sent up to overawe us; wemust be taught to obey, and so om, Yet in the end Sir John Macdonald abolished the monopoly in Canada today blames us for having risen against ft: Just now wo are wrestling with a greater and: more far-reaching monopoly. For: the sake of the .don, pay an artificially high price for everything we buy, and are not al- lowed to enjoy the reciprocity that would enhance the value of what we haye to sell. In a word, that his greedy rule may be maintained we are not permitted to turn our labor and resources to the best account. Mr. Anson contends that from the first the. people of Eastern Can- ada have regarded the West as a colony of theirs the colony of a colony. This. is particularly true of the Eastern manufacturer. Be- fore the Canadian Pacific was finish ed, when settlement was just be- ginaing, he called on the Dominion Parliament in 1883 to levy a heaviar tariff on us in his interest, and, of course, it obeyed. The duty. on binders and mowers was raised fo 35 per cent. We started an agita- tion for a-reduction, only to -be de- nounced as grouchers and traitors. But, after all, the reduction came and I'do not suppose that ever Sir Melvin Jones would care to see the old tax restored. H pwould say, for, after all, he is a pretty reasonable man.for a manufacturer, that the implement maker who cannot get. along with a protection of 174 per cent. ought to.. some other line of business. The implement tarifl of 1879, when protection was first introduced, was 25 per cent. all round. In 1833 it was 35 per cent. all round. Today it averages about 22 per cent., binders and mowers at 172 being taxed lightly than other articles in ist. But is not 22 altogether exorbitant? The. Eastern manufacturer also gets a drawback of 99 per cent. of the duty which he pays on imported ma- terials entering into construction of implements. Yet the Canadian: far - mer, who has to meet all comers in the free British market India, Rus- sia, the United States, the Angen- tine, and the rest is not entitled, on the protectionist theory, to the jowest possible cost of production, but has to-pay this tribute of 22 per cent. to the manufacturer. Coukt anything be more unfair? The action of the Manufacturers Assoc- ation last year in interdicting re- ciprocity. in natural products for fear it might lead to reciprocity in factory goods, was all of a piece with the arbitrary treatment of colonies by the paretif-State 200 years ago. Mr. Anson, jn his conchiding words, takes a somewhat pessimis- tic view of the present outlook for freer markets. The future, however, looks hopefil. The. West is getting together, Saskatchewan is plain evi- dence of the fact. Let the West pre sent a solid front, and the Hast will yield, just as it did on the disallowance question. The West is right, and right must triumph. Peteeeetee seas FIRST THINGS, + + + he Se obs he fe oho fe of ole obo oko ofr of oh EES The first time the distance be- tween London and Edinburgh, 400 miles, was ever covered in less than eight hours was twenty-four years ago today, when a train on the Lon- Northwestern Caledonian made the tripin what was then considered the remarkably fast time of 7 hours 25. minutes, an average speed of over 63 miles per hour. This was the best. timie-ever made for so long a distance. The fastest time on record for railway run 400 and 500 miles was made in 1895 between New York and Buffalo, 4364 miles, in 407 min- utes actual time, an average of 64 1-3 miles an hour. The fastest time made by a train for a dis- tance of over 500 miles was in June 1905, when the distance between Buffalo and Chicago was covered in 7 hours 50 minutes, an average of 69.69, miles an hour, excluding stops. The best time recorded fora shot distance was made ten years ago foy a Burlington train, which travpled 14.6 miles in 9 minutes fiat an average of nearly a hundred Se. a bar. * The name LEVER on Soap is a Guarantee of Purity and Excellence.
