The Trade Question.
• TO the Editor of the 'Sentinel
. DEAR SIR, — I noticed in the
,SENTINEL a few weeks ago an article
of .Cheslev on the trade question.
.There is no man in BiUce—eltinty more
capable than Mr. Brown of criticising
the acta of any government—a man of
deep' thought and •clear intelligence.
He shows plainly the advantage the
American market mould he to Cana-
dians, but hesioes not show Us how we
•ware to obtain it. I feel satisfied a
-:great majority of our people would
for a reciprocity treaty with the
States; but we want some role to show
us how we are 'to get such a treaty.

To the Editor of the Lucknow Sentinel:
DEAR SIR,—Noticing in your issue
of the 5th inst., an article headed
things, stating that the Lucknow
0ouncil passedri-inotion condemning
the action of the Ontario Legislature
in appropriating to itself such a large
share of the money paid for licenses in
the different municipalities of the
province., 'rom the references made
at to amounts received for licenses last
year by the Government and paid by
t tothe municipality of Lucknow, Sze.
1 in er that that motion had special
retereuce to the large share taken
from Lucknow by the Government.
I thought on looking over the article
that the information conveyed therein
was misleading., and if a fair statement
in fayor of free trade. Mr. Brown be all the better for your- village.
