Why Canada is For Wilson.

Canada is hopeful that Woodrow Wilson arid a democratic congress will be elected in the United States is the November’ elections. Up in Winnipeg the British trade commission is conducting investigations and considering ways and means for promoting Canadian and British trade expansion. The commission’s plan is to raise a tariff w*all around Canada so high that few, if any products of American factories will be able to get into the Canadian market. At the same time it hopes that democratic success will continue in force the Underwood tariff in this country sb“thaFCmiaffiaW“”gddd® may “"be brought into our markets at will, thereby giving Canada the trade balance.

This kind of one-sided “reciprocity” is very pleasing to the Canadians and the, Underwood tariff already has been of great benefit to the»n. In the opinion of British and. Canadian trade experts the best thing that could happen for Canadian agriculture and industry would be a continuation of the UndePwood tariff here. A democratic president and congress would insure this. - -—===s = • J No such good fortune for Canadians can be sighted in case Charles Evans Hughes and a republican congress .are chosen by the American veters. While no one will blame the Canadians for grabbing all the trade they can get, it is the self interest of American farmers and workingmen to see that a republican president and congress go into power and make secure the business interests of the United States. —. ■
