"•intg:iirftor of Unrestricted Recipro-
city Wel-lobe says: •
Some ?rsons who advocate Commercial
'Union bre not yet come to the clear uu-
derstandg of Dr. Macdonald, of Wing -
ham, tit one of the effects of last year's
duletissic has beeu to affix a distinct mean-
ing to thter m " Unrestricted Reciprocity"
as disominated from the term "Com -
,,A meroiai 'pion. " Supporters of the latter
are Renally taken to favor r'roe Trade
'With tbeiiiited States alone, and to long
for it so inch that they would accept com-
plete atiexatiln to get it. Supporters of
ed Reciprocity are not cousid-
.. erect" enmeroial Union on any terms"
men, batmen who favor free exchange of
SI 'Canadian: and A.mgrioan products ou ter the
that willuot require Canada to -increase
her tarn at the dictation of Washington.
Of coutn there is no good reason why
" Comm,rcial Union " should have oome to
signify say scheme for placing the Domin-
ion into r, position of political dependence
far morenucomfortable and powerless than
would tame of Annexation. Dalt the Min,
fsteriali' .have been clever enough to se -
curs the gdneral acceptance of their defini-
tion of commercial Union," and nothing
is to be gained by disputing its propriety.
lndeerl,,one may acknowledge that there
. wits need for the term setting the few un -
Mitigated Commercial Unionists, or "Com-
meroial-Unionists •at any pride," apart
from the great majority who .simply desire
to remove all restrictions upon exchange
between Canada and the United States of
their respective products. The Luekuow
'farmers saw *ow •easily a •resolution in
• fe;yor•of „Cotnineroial Union" 'night be
•.misrepresented. by malignants, 'and judi-
ciously supported theUnrestdoted lteoipro-
