Clifford Sifton's Opinion. Hon, Clifford Sifton (formerly a member of the Laurier Cabinet) says that if. Canada accepts Reciprocity, she will be "PUTTING HER HEAD INTO A NOOSE." A very unwise thing to do, lest Uncle Sam should pull the rope and jerk us up rather roughly. Again, at Ingersoll last week, Mr. Sifton said ;— "Sum it all up, what does it come to. It comes to this—that we turn our backs on Great Britain and tie our- selves up with the United States. By this treaty we are asked to turn aside from the path that leads to the capital of the empire and make ourselves into a commercial appendage and dependency of the United States." Senate Document No. 849. Before entering into the Reciprocity agreement with Canada, the Government of the United States had the question of quan- tities and prices fully investigated by a committee of experts, who had for some .time been engaged in obtaining full information. Their report is named Document No. 819, and contains much valuable information, We submit a summary of their report on " Live Stock." It says:— "In all the Canadian provinces (except Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island) prices are higher in Canada than in the United States." HORSES. — The number of horses in the United States is 21,040;000; in Canada, 2,132,849.

Please tell. • • } =Honestly now? Would it pay to give up an 80 per cent, home market for a ten per cent. chance in the mar- ket of ninety millions ? Canadians are waking up to the 90 million market delusion. ••• —At .Welland Liberal convention Hen. Rich. Harcourt appealed to the delegates to "Help save the Liberal ship." It must be in great danger of Wreck to call for such an appeal. • • } ." —September 21st is the day the ' mfallsdue. Sir W e 'ai storm s e q ninet must have been in a prophetic mood when he chose that day for the storm of anti -reciprocity ballots. •._,• --According to President Taft reci- procity is to reduce the cost of living in the United Statess by lowering nSg the price of foodstuffs in that country. How then is the Canadian farmer to benefit, • • • —If the ninety million market is a good thing why are so many Ameri- can farmers leaving it and coming in- to Canada? ••• Personals Mrs. Roadhouse is visiting friends in Toronto.

Mies Emmertnn of London was the guest of Miss Millie Agnew on Thurs- day of last week. —Mr. James Bowman is meeting with a kindly reception all over the riding, and is receiving muck en- couragement from many old-time Lib- erals, who while Liberals still, cannot swallow this Reciprocity dose. No fault can be found with them for re- futing to follow Sir Wilfrid in his ill-advised course ; indeed they are to be commended. The more advanced the.. ampaign becomes, the more it looks like James Bowman, M. P. —Reciprocity aims to boom Ameri- can induetrles by teaming control of this country's raw material, and in the long rim of its market for mann- factored goods. How will this 'help the Canadian workman? ••• —Senator. Foss of Boston is one of the most earnest advocates of recipro- city with Canada, because of the benefits the United States will receive. Ile describes it as "The tbin end of the wedge." A "wedge" suggests splitting, separat- ing, disintegrating, etc. Well, Cana- da does not feel Iike being split, separ- ated east from west, 'disintegrated, etc. ; at least not without a protest. Keep out the thin end of the wedge. Polling Places.

It is twenty years since Mr. Agnew lived in Wingham, and con- quently sees many changes. • * —Mr. Hugh°Guthrie, Liberal candi- date in South Wellington, and aspi- rant to the Laurier Cabinet, at his nomination, said :— "Let this 11 g agreement o t g rou h , g and up goes the price to the farm- er, down goes the price to the consumer." Many of his constituents are laughing at the contradiction, he professes to believe. We always thought that the higher wheat, meat, eggs and butter, potatoes, etc., were, the more it coat the consumer to buy them, Mr. Guthrie in effect says—No, the more you pay for thein, the cheap- er you can get them. No wonder people laugh at snob silly statements --they fall a Iong way short of being arguments. The "Boys World," a Sunday School paper published by David Cook Co., in the United States, eays :— "The foreign demand for hog products shows a large increase over the demand of a year ago. At that time the exports is from United States ports averaged about 8.000.000 pounds per week now they have risen to 22,635,000 pounds per week." Since the United States exports hogs to largely as the above admits, they taunt have more than the home market demands, That being the case, will some Reciprocity advocate tell ns how the Canadian tardier is going to benefit by sending his hogs Where they' already have snore than they use, and where tha prloes rifle lower that, they do on our own home rnstket GOOD POSITIONS. Church Views Automobile Ys. Buggy. Last Saturday afternoon as Benson Tryeman was returning from Wing - ham to his home in East Wawanosb, an accident happened to him which might have had more serious results. C. M. Walker, in his auto, caught up to Mr. Tyreman, and whether Mr. T. did not turn out far enough or Mr. W, failed to turn out soon enough, we do not know. However, in passing, a front wheel of the auto, caught a hind wheel of the buggy, resulting in an upset, broken buggy and harness, etc. Mr. Tyreman held on to the lines, thus avoiding a , runaway, and possibly additional damage. We Enter "Another Year. With this issue, the Advance enters its 40th year, It is unnecessary to write at any length on this event (always of interest to the editor and staff). Our readers know the record of the past since the present editor became proprietor over thirteen years ago. It is sufficient to say that the Advance is more widely read, and more popular than ever. We re- cognize the fact that its success is due to the appreciation of the public,evilo have so generously increased its sub- scription list, advertising and job work patronage. These favors are sincerely appreciated, and we hope to merit their continuance. We see no reason to deviate from the course that has produced such favorable results. The best interests of the fair Town of Wingham, as we under- stand them, shall take first ;+lace. With good will to all, the Advance enters its 40th year. Mr. John Kerr preached in Luck - now Methodist Church last Sunday morning. - The local corps of the Salvation Army had a special day of interest last Sunday, on account of the visit of Col. Chandler.

Respectfully Yours—J. A. McLEAN. Decidedly Optimistic. There is no use being pessimistic, but for decided optimism, a North - end Liberal excels in election fore- casts. He figures that Mr. Hislop will be elected by 200 majority, and Sir Wilfrid Laurier's majority in the House will be increased by 20. lie claims to have it down fine, and no danger of mis-count. It is needless to say that some of his townsmen think he is decidedly optimistic. Past The Pour Score. On Saturday, 26th inst., Mr. Thos. G. Elliott, a respected resident of Lower Town passed to his long home. Deceased had been a resident of this vicinity for many years, He leaves one son, John ; also one daughter, Mrs, Nicholl of Lower Wingham with whom he resided, Mr. Elliott was a member of St. Andrew's Church, and the funeral service' was conducted by his pastor, Rev, D.

Tne following is from a Brandon paper, and the bride is a grand- daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Henderson of town :—"A pretty wedding took place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John Henry on August 12th, when their daughter, Miss Lois R., was united in marriage to Mr. Garnet Pearson of Edmonton, formerly of London, Ont. The bride wore a pretty gown of rajah silk trimmed with lace and applique and carried a bouquet of roses and lily of the valley. Her gift from the groom was a pendant set with diamonds and pearls. After the ceremony, which was performed by Rev. Mr. Edmison, sr., a dainty luncheon was served, and Mr. and Mrs. Pearson left for Calgary and Banff, and after a short holiday will take up their residence in Edmon- ton. Among the many presents re- ceived were handsome cheques, one from the bride's father and one from the groom's father."—[The above item was in type for Inst week's paper, but somehow or another escaped our notice, and therefore was uninten- tionally left out.

On their return they will re- side in Wingham. Both the youug people are well and favorably known, and have the best wishes of 'a large circle of friends. September Weather. Regular storm period is central on the 3rd, covering the lit to the . 6ch. The Earth's autumnal equihox and the Mercury period are both in force at this time, The 3rd, 4th and 5th will be the crisis of the period. Watch storm developments on and touching these dates. On and about the lith of September maximum "earth cur- rents," disturbing telegraph lines, exciting auroral lights and causing seismic shakes, very naturally reach a crisis, over the globe generally. Look for fierce equatorial storms on and near the 9ch and 10tb, fol- lowed by change to much cooler weather and frosts to the northward. A regurar storm period unites with Mercury period and the autumnal equinox, from the 12th to the 16th. This period will Wog return of fall- ing barometer, ehango to warmer, cloudiness, rain and thunder, but we do not figure that general and abun- dant rains will fall at this tilne. A reactionary' storm period falls at the centre of Earth's autumnal equinox— from the 10th to the 22nd. Threaten- ing storms, it more or lees violence, , will be perfectly natural at this time, or at any time in this pait of the neonth. Chances for good, general rains grow better as we approach the close of September. Change to much cooler about the 22nd to 25th, first in the west, .progressing east and south, A regular storm' period covers the last week in September, the crisis of the period falling on 20th, 27th and 28th. Autumnal sterns will he gener- al at this time, and cool nights with front in many atatea may be expected its we Kusa into October, An Unfortunate Affair. A despatch from Listowel, dated Monday last, says :—Goaded to des- peration by repeated taunts that he was shirking his work, a young farm hand named Douglas, while employed at a threshing on Saturday afternoon near Molesworth, swung around on his persecutor, Harry Smith, and sent the prong of his pitchfork through the latter's aide. The steel prong penetrated Smith's left side near the base of the lung, and inflicted a dan- gerous wound, which may have a fatal result. Smith is a son of Reeve Sam Smith of Elma, and a married man, while Douglas is little more than a boy. An August Wedding. A very quiet wedding took place on Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m. at the Baptist Church, Haileybury, when Miss Margaret E. Laird of Owen Sound and Mr. J. H. Beemer, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

After the cere- mony, the happy young couple return- ed to Gillies Depot, home of the groom's brother, where a dainty wed- ding dinner was served, after which Mr. and Mrs. Beemer left on a short honeymoon trip.

Another of the early settlers of this vicinity passed the bounds of time on Thursday last, in the person of Mr. Lachlan McLean, after an ts Added to . illness of several montho the increase of years, there came some months ago, an attack of paralysis, which further enfeebled hint. Mr, McLean was of Scotch descent ; his parents came from the Island of Mull, north of Scotland, in 1820, settling in Cape Breton Island, where the subject of this sketch was born in 1837. Later. the family removed to Lanark county, and in 1854 settled in Irinloss, near Whitechurch. For some time Mr. McLean was engaged with a relative in a store in Zetland, when that vil- lage eaw its best days, before Wing- ham had been surveyed. While there he teamed all the goods for Zetland store from Goderich through the beet], and brought the boiler for the old Zetland sawmill on the front part of a bob -sleigh, also from Goderich, through the woods. In 1850, he mar- ried Miss McElroy, who passed away exactly six months prior to the very day of his funeral. Mr. Mctean was a man of upright character, held in high esteem, and a member of the Presbyterian Church. In polities.' matters, he was a life-long Liberal. Two sons --John A. of Wingham, I<'red.
