N. J. Bachelder, Master of the National Grange, will bo of lo­ cal interest, to those who oppose Canadian reciprocity. More than twenty years ago the National Grange adopted resolutions declaring that it was the position of the Order that bo long as protection was to be the National policy, the farmers must.receive the same de­ gree of protection on their products that was giVen on manu. actured articles. This is the Grange position today, and we are hero fo _protest against the Canadian Reciprocity Bill, on the ground- that its effect will be to .establish free trade ,in farm products, while continuing protection to manufacturers. We are here as representatives o f the. great agricultural industry of the United States to state clearly that the farm­ ers of the country will not submit to legislatiou that so manifestly dis­ criminates against their interests, and to assure you that without ex­ ception the farmers stand- for the principle of“ Protection for all or for none." I need not occupy your time with -arguments to show that this reci­ procity measure means free trado in tarm products, Canada is the only country from which we have at pres­ ent any reason to fear competition, and it wo have free importation' of Canadian farm prodnets, we will re­ ceive no benefit whatever from the tariff. The* principle of. protection laid down in. tho Republican party platform of 1908 Is tha-fc the tariff rates should equal the difference be­ tween the cost of production at home and abroad, together with a reason­ able profit to American industries. We are willing to submit tho whole- question as to tho wisdom of the roc- j iprocity hill to the standard-fixed by this, the latest National Republican declaration on the subject. IS it, oris it noft> fapt, that the cost of growing the, treat .staple crops, such as W&eafc, barley, oats and bay; of rtwfing- eateie, horses and sheep; anil of producing butter, eggs, poultry, cheese, apples, etc., is greater in this country than in Can­ ada? We affirm that such J«« the fact, and would state in support of our contention tho further facts that Canadian farm lands a re : much cheaper than on this .side of the boundary line; that the wages paid farm labor aro much lower than m this country; that the Canadian farmer buys hia manufactured arti­ cles cheaper because of lower tariff rates ou foreign goods? and that the farm.lands of Canada are chiefly virgin soil, requiring no fertilizers, while our lands have been cropped many years, so that we must use an­ nually Immense quantities of ferti­ lizers. Does any one deny that the aver­ age price of our fnrni lands is from two to three times that of Canadian lands? Is it not a fact that hundreds of thousands of farmers m our North­ western states have sold their farms andemigratsd to Canada,because of the great area of cheap lands to be had tn that country? It is notorious that so many farmers have left Iowa Where land Is worth from $100.00 to $130.00 per acre, for the Canadian Northwest, that she population of thatgrest and fertile state is now lesB than it was ten years ago? The statements In regard to the other conditions which Bhow the cost of production to be lower in Canada than in tho United States aro equally capable of proof, so there is no escape from the conclusion that jf protection is to be afforded to any domestic Industry because of the higher Cost of production Jii this country, agriculture, tho greatest o f ali industries, Which is the very foundation of this great nation’ s welfare and prosperity, Is clearly entitlod to protection equal to the difference between the cost of pro dudtion at homo and abroad, Tho two principal arguments put forward on behalf of this so-called reciprocity proposition, are, first, that it Will reduce the cost of iood stuffs to the consumer; ahd, second, that it will hot decrease the prices recolved b,v our farmers for their products. Both of these Statements cannot ho true and it is our opinion that neither of themare. The news .papers of the cities have been filled with glowingproiiiisesof cheap food which they claim will,be tho result Of the free admission of Canadian farm products. We believe tins to be wholly a delusion, and that the removal of these products will not reduce to any material, degree the prices paid for them by the consu­ mers of the cities.

The figures that show his wealth and how it" has increased since 1900were made public by the Census bureau. On April 13th of last year, when the official count oi noses, acres and dollars was taken, the farmers of Ohm wars worth in lands and.build- ings, $1,830,746,000. Of this sum tho land was worth $1,288,8^7,000 and the houses upon the farms. $306,9)9,- 000, Then they had $01,115,000 m farm implements to be added to to their material wealtb, notto men­ tion millions upon millions of dollars worth of crops and domestic animals which the bureau has not yet count­ ed. As soon as the figures for Ohio’ s crop and stock wealth are in shape to print Director Dunrand will make them public. ^ - There are 271,833 farms within Ohio’s boundaries, Of this number there are 38,409, of nineteen acres or under; 30 221 from 20 to 60 acres and 87,978 of from 60 to 100 acres in size. As the.farms increase in size from 100 acres they become fewer in num­ ber. There are only 111 farms in Ohio of 1,00ft acres or more; 782 be­ tween 500 and 1,000; 25,090. between 175 and 500 acres, and 68,707 between 100 and 175. The average Ohio farm contains 89 acres. Since the last census in 1900, the value of Ohio’s farms and farm buildings has increased from $1,036,- 615,000 to $1,650,746,000, but the num­ ber of farms has decreasetlby 6,339. In J900 the average acre of, land in' Ohio was worth $42.31; in 1910 it had risen to $53,33, ati increase of 60 per cent. Of the 271,383 farms in Ohio 191,660 were conducted by their owners or part owners, 77,040 by tenants and 2,073 by. managers. The census ex­ perts say that 136,735 farms m Ohio are free front mortgage. .Of the farmers that own or operate them 90 per cent are white and one per cent, colored, or to put tho case in exact figures, 289,439 are white and’ 1,944 negroes or “ non-white.” THE INVITATIONS Are out, so don’ t fail to see some of the good ones. The yearlings are developing even beyond our expec­ tation, so make it a point, (its to your own interest) to see some of Motenr’s colt's.
