Where is a Market for this enormous Quantity of wheat to be found the Home Market of Canada 3s, of course growing with marked rap Wity but it is quite Clear that it cannot begin to of keep Pace with the increase of production in Western and an increasing proportion of our total wheat yield will have to be shipped out the country year by year. There appears to to an impression in certain that there s an unlimited Meritet if great Britain for All the wheat that can be shipped there. Those who hold this comfortable belief Are recommended to study the statistics we herewith publish showing the of so imports of wheat into great Britain for the two tast fiscal years.

These figures comparison Between rates North and South of the Boundary or decidedly not a comparison to which the . And the Canadian Northern can being inequitable. Furthermore these comparisons have been directly the Amax Longly mistaken statement made twice in the House at Ottawa Early in the present session by the minister of railways that railway rates Are lower in Western Canada than in the Western states. It might be mentioned in to connection though without any intention of switching to a political that a Public Man nearer Home said ten years ago that by Means of Dian Northern rates the . Rates Here to Manitoba would be kept level and that thus. In respect of railway rates the province of Manitoba will be in the most of any portion of the North american continent. The configures which the free press is presenting in these articles show How far this prediction made in 1901. Is from being realised the rates on the great Northern the Northern Pacific and the Soo Une in Minnesota and North Dakota the Dakotas and Montana Are decidedly Tower than the c. P. H. And Canadian Northern rates in Manitoba Saskatchewan and Alberta with the exception of Grain rates in regard to which a Mora favourable showing can be made for the Canadian lines to which however. It must not be forgotten that immense Grants and bonuses have been made at. The pubic expense with that end in View. In a previous article in this series it was proved from Tolje sworn figures of Cost of operation on the . That the Grain traffic is highly profitable. On All other fre Goit the rates levied the Canadian railways we such As to yield exorbitant profits the figures which the free a to present to Day Are those of the freight rate on agricultural implements and vehicles.

Only straight of 1m carloads of vehicles can now be shipped from Winnipeg farm wagons Are classified As sixth class freight with a minimum Carload weight of ibs. Vehicles that to.

The importations United states fallen rapidly and in 1911 were not much More than one third what they were in 1909. This record of Dimin Ishing United states wheat exports to a Norland indicates that that a purity is ceasing to Export the kind of Grain for which there is a demand in the old land. The receipts from the a it nine Republic in 1911 wore Only half those of 190-9, while those from Russia have risen enormously from cwt. In 1909 to in 1910 Tho imports now amount roughly to the combined importations from Canada and Australia. A study of the figures As a whole indicate that it is not reasonable to expect to find in great Britain a Market for the enlarged output of Western Canada. The Prospect of an Imperial preference a still held out by certain parties in Britain but there is nothing to indicate that for Many years to come the Tariff reformers will be called upon to Frame a Tariff. Even though a preferential Tariff were to come into operation we should have to Divide the English Market with the British East indies with new zealand and with Australia and in the face of their Competition could not Hope to do much More than double our present contributions to Hajt Market.

Even under preference if the United states imports of flour which Are steadily be replaced by in from Canada the total addition to the demand for Canadian food predicts would not be Large. Besides it must not be forgotten that the preferential schema has always implied tiie free import of Canadian wheat bin a differential duty on Canadian your in order to encourage the Mill ing of wheat in England. The statistics we have quoted suggest that under the most favor Able circumstances conceivable we cannot Hope to do much More than increase our exports of wheat to eng land by some or bushels a hich will represent a Mere fraction of the extra production in Western Canada during the nest few years tinder these circumstances is it not quite apparent that we must secure new markets that being so would it be reasonable to reject the Opportunity of be tans free Access to a growing Market which already num Bers ninety million people and who Cha with the ideals and of its people.
