Welcome to the SDA folks

The orginal cartoon isn't from the Winnipeg free Press - look to The Grain Growers guide of 1915. Here's a better copy of the orginal from the Glenbow archives in Calgary.

"Our artist has here attempted to portray the idea which the Big Interests of Eastern Canada seem to have of the proper function of the Western Provinces. The Bankers, the Railway Corporations and the Manufacturers rejoice to see a big crop in the West because it will increase their own profits, but when the farmers of the West ask for lower rates of interest, lower freight rates and Free Trade, so that they can get the full value of the crops they produce, Big Business, with the aid of the Party Politicians, always succeeds in having their demands refused."

Printed in the December 15, 1915, issue of the Grain Growers Guide.

Created here for the folks who don't link from the Glenbo site - or don't want to leave SDA.
