WHAT AMERICANS SAY.
(From Chicago Tribune.)
j., "Foodstuffs can be grown in bath the United States and Canada,
This country, thanks to its greater area of cultivatable land and its
anuch larger number of farmers—l2 to 1—is much the larger pro-
ducer. . . If it were a question of the farmers of one country
capturing the markets and driving out of businees the farmers of
the other, those of Canada would be routed in the unequal contest."
* *. *
(From Speech by Senator Beveridge, of indiana.)
"There must be reciprocity with Canada. Our tariff with the
rest of the world does not apply to our northern neighbor.. That
policy already tai driven American manufancturers across the Cana-
dian borders, built vast plants with American capital on Canadian
soil, employing Canadian 'workingmen to supply trade. That capital
shonld be kept at home to employ American workingmen to supply
Canadian demand. We should admit Canadian wood pulp and
Canadian paper free in return for Canada's admitting our agricul-
tural implements, our engine?, pumps and other machinery free.
We should freely admit Canadian lumber to American planing mills
in return for Canada's freely admitting other American manufac-
tured products to Canadian markets.
* • *
(From Speech by Samuel W. McCall, Congressman.)
"Add to the tremendous influences that are pulling the two
countries together, the entangling web that is woven by reciprocal
trade. and the inevitable day will be more quickly reached when the
two countries shall be politically one."

is the meet absurd.

—The opposition leader truly says
that the reciprocity agreement makes
an absurd pretence of bringing relief
to the farmer by exposing him .to the

House of Commons, 1903. [Yes, and a
vote for James Bowman on the 21st of

independent of our neighbors to the

—R. L. Borden, in his magnificent
speech at London last week has this to
say in regard to making Canada a
dumping ground , for American
farmers: — "Does the Government
realize what it is taking place under
their eyes at the present time, even
under the existing tariff? Do they
realize that sheep, hogs and cattle are
being dumped by the producers of the
United States upon the Canadian
markets and sold at a price which ma-
terially cute down that hitherto paid
to the Canadian producer?"
They Want To Come.
Conductor Quirk was in Clinton one
day last week, and in conversation
with Mr. Jackson of Jackson Bros.,
learned that the firm would like to
start a braneh factory in Wingham if
suitable inducements were offered.
This firm manufactures boys' clothing,
and has thriving factories in Clinton,
Goderich and Exeter. It 'would be a
good thing
for
Wingham m if
Jackson
Bros. could be induced to start a
branch factory here. There are places
available that would make appropri-
ate factories at a small expenditure.
The firm of Jackson Bros. is a
thoroughly tellable one, and would
make a splendid acquisition to the
ranke of our alreadyy bright and
f3mil-
able business men. Either the Board
of Trade or the Council should take
the matter up without any loss of
time.

East Huron electors are looking for-
ward with great interest to the visit
of ,Hon. Geo. E, Foster to the riding, •
on THURSDAY THIS WEEK). At
two o'clock in the afternoon he will
address a meeting in the Town Hall,
Gorrie, and in the evening at eight
o'clock he will address a meeting in
the Town Hall, Wingham. There is
no doubt that Large and enthusiastic
audiences will greet Mr. Foster, who
has 130 peer in Canada as a platform
orator. The meeting here begins at
eight o'clock, but you'll need to be
there a lot earlier than that if you

A Valuable Report.
The report of the. Canadian Forestry
Convention at Quebec has just been
issued, and makes a volume of 160
pages, of addresses, papers, and dis-

States authorities on forestry and
lumbering. All parts of Canada are
embraced in the report, and all phases
of the subject, commercial, education-
al, administrative, and protective are
dealt with. The resolutions passed
and changes suggested in the laws are
included. Persons interested may re-

No Reciprocity Ballots.
A good many electors have a wrong
idea in regard to the vote on recipro-
city at the coming election, they be-
ink under the impression that a ple-
biscite of the people is to be taken,
with a separate ballot "for" and
"against" reciprocity. This is an er-
roneous idea, The only ballot that
the electors of East Huron will be
given on Sept. 21st, polling day, will
be one containing the names of James
Bowman and Arch. Hislop, the Con-
servative and Liberal candidates re-
spectively. By marking your ballot
for Mr. Bowman you signify that you
db not wantreciprocity, while voting
for Mr. Hislop will mean that you are
favorable to the reciprocity pact.
The question will be decided at the
polls by the election of a majority of
supporters of Mr. Borden or of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier. If the Borden pol-
icy carries the day there will be no
reciprocity; if Sir Wilfrid is returned
to power the reciprocity compact with
the St Un' ed a

sparke from the smoke stack got into

before the men knew it, the roof was

several thousand dollars' worth of
property had been totally destroyed.
Among the property eaten up by the
flames was — stable, driving house,
honey storehouse, mill (including tools
and machinery), a quantity of dressed
and undressed lumber, a quantity of
wood, the orchard, and about fifty

Death Of Joseph Leech.
On Thursday morning, Aug. 17th,
in Gorrie, at the home of his brother,
James Leech, there passed away one
of Bluevale's most respected citizens
in the person of Joseph Leech. For
months he had been in failing health,
yet his death had not been expected,
for he had been visiting his brother
and only the day before his death he
spoke of his improvement. On Wed-
nesday evening he retired in about
his usual health, and in the morning
he was found "Asleep in Jesus."
Almost 81 years ago the late Joseph
Leech was born in Lansdowne town-
ship, Peel county. In company with
his nine brothers he came to Gorrie,
which was then Queen's Bush, in 1857.
He and his brother, W: H, Leech, de-
e/idea to settle in Bluevale, where they
established a grist and saw mill ; for
many years • they labored together.
Joseph eventually bought a store, and
in business and in private, resided in
Bluevale until about two years ago,
when he removed to Westport and
Toronto.
Joseph Leech was a man above the
ordinary ; the history of the 10 Leech
brothers is remarkable, and Joseph
occupied a prominent place among
them. In social, municipal and poli-
tical life, he took an active part, but
perhaps his greatest work was in con-
nection with the Methodist Church.
He was converted in 1856, and at once
identified himself with the Methodist
Church, and as Trustee, Steward, Re-
cording Steward, Bible Class Teacher
and Classleader, his labors in Bluevale
Methodism will never be forgotten,
His end was peace—at the close of a
long useful u
l li
fe

beloved sleep."
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. J. W. Hibbert of Gorrie, as -
slated by Rev. F. J. Oaten, Ph.D., of
