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. Our American friends are building the — • •,,Ss ".• •;.1,• wall higher and higher, and resent "t. •of the License Law as affecting villages every advance on the part of Canada and the Province were given, it might TheLicense Law 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.
