A bad economic eco-nomic policy and political troachory cost us the benollt of commercial freedom free-dom with Canada. Had wo been fair and decent with our Bister country ucroBs tho boundary, tho irado of Canada Can-ada would havo boon ours, and commercially com-mercially if not politically tho two countrlos would havo been one. Wo aro told it is now too late. Canada has grown away from us, Instend of toward us. A falso policy has robbed us of our own. Congressmen elected elect-ed to ropresent our Interests in reciprocity reci-procity with Canada have gono to Washington in the interests of a pine-land pine-land comblno and worked to mako reciprocity Impossible. Tho American flag ought now to float over all North America; but that union either politically or commercially commercial-ly can nover tnko placo until a larger patriotism can rise above political cant and private greed.
