Canadian workers and their wages in a world of steel
The article argues that Japanese and Chinese steel plants employ far more workers and pay much lower wages than the United States, with production of bessemer rails matching global demand. It cites pay gaps from $250 monthly in the U.S. to $1-2 daily in China and asserts free trade would hurt Canadian workers by exposing them to cheap Oriental competition.

Canadian dairy industry urged to expand across Dominion
Ottawa reports show Canada imports butter yet exports cheese and dairy growth. Denmark led butter export to Britain in 1912 while New Zealand supplied most Canada’s butter. Canada’s own consumption nears 100 million dollars yearly as prairie production climbs from 300000 to 4000000 pounds. Expansion across provinces is urged to sustain export trade and meet growing domestic needs.
