The intelligent farmers of America know that the agricultural products of Canada are inconsiderable when -compared with the agricultural products of the United States. To use a common phrase. they do not constitute a drop in the bucket. They also know that wages are as high In Canada in many lines as In America. and higher in labor pertaining tothe production of lumber. so they know too much to be scared by the overworked cry of "pauper labor." There is a tariff of 25 cents a bushel on wheat. and one good. healthy man with a good appetite can come very near eating all the wheat imported into the United States in 12 months. There is a tariff of 15 cents a bushel on corn. and yet you can raise -more corn on a farm of 300 acres in Missouri than is imported into the United States in a year. Under the Dingley bill it was 25 cents per bushel.
