Reciprocity.
Notwithstanding that the Reform.
party at the convention recently held at
Ottawa declared simply in favor of `freer'
trade, whatever that may mean, the
Globe continues its advocacy of reoipro.
pity. No man of intelligence will deny'
that reciprocity in natural products
would be a good thing for Canada, but
no good can be accomplished by urging
the people to expect something that it
is not within the power of any Canadian
government, Reform or Conservative,
to give them. The Conservative party
are willing to give the people all the free
trade possible, conaiatent with the ne-
cessities of government, and at the next
session of Parliament we may expect
them to reduce the tariff to a point as
low as revenue requirements will per-
mit. Such reductions cannot be very
great, it is true, fertile surplus in the
treasury after the year's expenditures is.
not large, but such as they are, they are
the beat that can be done. Neither the
Con ervative ill r the Reform:party can
have the slighest influence in inducing
the Americans to alter their tarriff so as
-to give the produce of Canadian farms
entrance to their markets onbetter terms
than now given under the McKinley
Bill, The Americans have always con-
ducted their affairs without any regard
to the well-being of Canadians and have
persistently refused Canada reciprocity
of any kind, except during the period
from 1854 to 1866. The Southornstatea
which then dominated the policy of the
country, concluded a treaty with Lord
Elgin in 1854 for the purpose of stifling
the annexation sentiment which was
then rife iu Canada. To annexation the
Souter was opposed because it feared
that the addition of Canada to the free
states would destroy slavery, which was
eyen„then in its death struggles. The
treaty was found useful to the north
during the war, but when at its close
their own lands were opened for settle-
ment, they decided to keep their
market to themselves and abrog•
ated the treaty with Canada. Reform-
ers say that a new treaty can be secured
by any party makingan honest attempt.
Have they forgotten that during the
administration of Hon. M. Mackenzie,
Geo. Brown went to Washington and
succeeded in inducingthe administration
to arrange a treaty, but that the Senate
by which body all treaties must be ap-
proved by a two-thirds vote, adjourned
without so much as having it read! The
L-. S. Congress will meet in a few days.
They will legislate to suit the needs of
their own country regardless of whether
they suit Canada or not. If they feel
that the agricultural schedule of the
McKinley Bill is an injury to them,
they will lower or repeal the duties with
out considering the question will it
benefit the Canadian farmer? If they
decide to alter or repeal the schedule
which shuts Canadian farm produce out
of their market, all will be well, but if
they do not, there is little reason for
believing they can be induced to do so
on condition that our market is opened
to them. While this country might
be more prosperous than it is, the peo-
ple are by no means in the straitened
circumstances that Liberal craters des-
cribe.
VIANflommo
Our practical dairymen and farmers
are beginning to consider what to do to
keep up the flow of mi•k, say from now
unt 1 the middle of August or until the
attermath comes in. As a general thing
from now until that time the pastures
are dried up, and thecows shrink badly
in milk supply, because they do not get
food enough. The consequence is that
there is a short return at the cheese
factory. If farmers intend to keep up
their cows in good condition and the
flow of milk, this dry part of the summ-
er must be tided over by some supple-
mentary feed in the shape of soiling or
ensilage. So far but very few farmers
in Ontario have squarely grappled with
this question. Some few sow or plant
a little corn to be fed green in a dry.
time, but results do not pan outas want-
ed. Some use the second grnwth of
clover, and report good results, prorid-
ed they cor. meece early' enough, before'
the cows have commenced to shrink; but
when once the habit is established it is
very hard to check it. Others strive to
hold up the milk flow with bran, grain
and clover hay. But the men who do
anything really and practically to avoid
the loss of shrinkage are few as compar-
ed with the many who do not. And
every year in Ontario there is anincal=
ctnable loss iii this skrinkage in cows'
milk owing to the periodical : hot, dr.
weather in July and August. There is
no doubt that the cheapest and best wa
to meet this= reat necessityis through
the silo. Its succulent latable
p food
that is most! needed. If the farmer
would provide a summer silo the year
before, and put in about two tons of
silage to the cow, he would find it prove
esendy,-cheapand efficient. The corn
croO

surest one we have, end with the filo,
it can be harvested at the snlalleat ex- a
n
pane in proportion to its feeding value, mo

iter natural condition of any of our crops
and it can be held without Toss after it,

twice a day from now until the fresh
fodder, clover and the like are abund..
ant in the fall, can be made the cheap.
est and beet ration that eau. be given to
miloh cows in the hot menthe. The
beauty of the thing is that a farmer can
put in an extra acre or two of silage corn
in the spring, and haye a smallish but
deep she, so that thesurface exposure in
hot months would be smaller than the
usual practice. The truth is reducing
ensilage or silage to dollars and cents,
and it can be produced at a cost of about
$2 a ton, and the cost of feedin ;sa suffi-
cient ration a day to a milch cow would
not exceed two cents. Silage is a cheap
palatable and profitable food for nrilch.
COWS during this hot weather, and every
dairy farmer should stow away some.
The Manitoba School Case.
Monsieur Tarte and A rchbishop Tache
are leaving a very lively discussion over
the Manitoba School Case. Mr. Tarte
is endeavoring to prove that the Arch-
bishop is playing into the hands of the
Conservative party, while the archbishop
defends himself with great ability.
Aside from the minor question of whet-
her the archbishop is right or I Ir. Tarte
right, the q.zarrel has an interest for
Canadians generally, as disclosing the
tendency of the Province of Quebec to
interfere with matters which do not con-
cern that Province in the remotest de-
gree. The main facts in the case are
quite plain. when Manitoba entered
Confederation in 1870, the parish schools
which had existed for many years under
the direction of the Roman natholio
hierarchy. became separate schools and
secured aid from the Manitoba Legis.
nature under certain clauses of the Act
admitting the province into Confederat-
ion, The Greenway Government pass-
ed a law withdrawing government aid,
alleging that the Manitoba Act, as re-
gards the aehools, was but a Canadian
reenactment of the British KorthAmer-
ica Aet passed by the BrltishParliament
and that such Acta could not bind the
Province to maintain separate./schools
which had no existence as suchuntil after
the admission of the Province. A case
was made up and submitted to the Mani-
toba High Court of Justice, where judg-
ment was given upholding the provin-
cial government. An appeal to the
Supreme Court of Canada resulted in
reversing the judgment of the Manitoba
Court, but a further appeal to the high-
est court in the Empire, the judicial
committee of the Privy Council of Eng'
land, re-established the right of Mani-
toba to legislate on school ]matters to
suit itself. Instead of acquiescing in.
the finding of the highest Court of the
realm, the politicians of Quebec induced
the:Dominion Government to intervene.
They hold that while the judicial com-
mittee of the Privy Council is the last
judicial resort in the Empire, and that
while from ita judgment there is r.o
direct appeal, there is still an indirect
way by which, its judgment may be
set aside and what they call "justice"
done the minolity from whomthe schools
have been taken. In other words
they maintain that the judg-
ment the Privy Council can be
rendered practically of no effect.
They claim that the Act was intend-
ed by the Parliament which passed it
to bind Manitoba to .recognize the
schools as separate schools when they
should cease tobe parish achoola, and
they ask the Dominion Government to
submit a series of questions to the Sup-
reme Court of Canada with a view to
having that body declare judicially that
it so interprets the clause, and that
therefore those from whom the schools
have been taken have a grievance. The
Government have agreed to submit such
questions. This is a roundabout way
of asking the Supreme Court of Canada
to reaffirm their own judgment, which
the Privy Council reveraed. Should
the Supreme Court decide that the in-
tention of Parliament was to bind the
legislature of Manitoba to recognize the
separateschools, and that in mouse-
quence of Greenway's action the Catho-
lics of Manitoba have a . grievance not-
withstanding that the highest Court in
the Empire has delared that the law as
it stands will not bear an interpretation
favorable to the schools, then it is
understood that Quebec will go further
and insist that the Dominion Govern-
ment pass an explanatory Act Betting
forth the; Parliament's intention was
to bind the Manitoba legislature to
recognize and support the schools. This
would be equivalent to disallowance
of the Manitoba Act. If the aggressl=.
venesa of Quebec, offensively vaunting
itself upon their so called rights weakly
granted the French race by Great Brit-
ain at the Conquest of Canada, and re-
peatedly extended since by weak
Governments here, is ever to be 'finally
ended, now is the time to act with
energy and determination, when we have
the opinion of the highest Court in the
realm to fall back upon. The Govern.
ment should refuse to be dictated to b '
the French, and every patriotic; Canad-
fan, without respect to political opin-
ions, should, as in the Riel case, "stand
by them should they do justice to Mani
soba and permit that province to deal
as it pleases with matters which, con-
cerns itself alone, and with which
Quebec people have no concern" except
that of dictators attempting to ; rule ail
the other provinces as well then/sowti,.
It is high time they ' were addressed.
thus by Ontario: teehus''ar' shalt thou

yet shown these gentry a bold front

is to be a llrit'sh or a Fiends country

concede territory to which France never
put in an effective claim until the other
day', is no excuse for a measure of hos-
tility, ostensibly directed againstthe Siam-
ese, but really striking at the commerce of
England .and other countries having com-
mercial relations with Siam."
