Dear Sir :—Before the electors vote n September 21st, it is much to be wired that they should consider the utcome of the Reciprocity Pact (to e by there condemned or approved) afore they cast their vote, from a urely economic standpoint, apart en - rely from political bias. It is a housand pities that this most momen- sus question should be nixed up with arty politics. The election should ave been held without this question ntering in at all, and the party elect- s, no . matter which, should have been oo omitted to immediately place this question of Reciprocity before the eople in the shape of a Referendum, nd the decision of the people would e final, Had this been done, without any controversy, it would have been verwheimingly defeated, So abso- .stely completely would the majority,. Liberal and Conservative alike, have voted it down, that we would not I heard of Reciprocity in another generation. However, to -day we have to deal with the fact that for good or evil Reciprocity is mixed up irretrievably with party politics. But party poli - ice surely should not make a mai vote for what will be detrimental to he interests of the community where- n he resides. As a Fait manufacturer, knowing whereof I speak, let me tell the voters n this neighborhood the result of Re- ciprocity in the salt business. • (1) It takes one ton of coal to pro- duce two tons of salt. (2) Coal at the salt factories on the United States' side of the River St. CIair costs $2 per ton. (3) Coal at Clinton or Goderich costs $3.10 per ton. Therefore, making 30 tons a day in Clinton, 20 tons a day in Goderich, 50 tons a day in all, I am handicapped $27.50 per day on the item of coal alone. I have been making salt here for 43 years. Many hundreds of thousands of dollars have I gathered in from the rest of Canada, and centred the ex- penditure right in the county of Baron. Farmers around have bene- fitted immensely. So long as they have wood or logs to sell, they found, and find to -day, a ready cash market for all they have to offer. Labor has I and does benefit. Store- keepers, professional men benefit in turn from them. I am paying out tbis year in Clinton when, running $700 a montb, in Goderich $400 a month, say $15,OQO a year. I will not insult the intelligence of the readers of this paper by any argument to E by deduction from the. above, that RECIPROCITY WILL CLOSE WORKS. They' will close as sure as Reciprocity is passed.. And the labor - ng classes, the storekeepers, every- body who to -day benefits by the manufacture of salt here in Clinton and Goderich, will lose that benefit ; be it little or much ! Why Mr. Fielding kept` a duty of 45c and 14c on the two grades of bituminous Boal, and put salt on the free list ; why Mr. Paterson kept a duty of 32} per cent. on the biscuits he makes and sells to the farmer, and put Balt on the free list. Why they both put salt on the free list, for any reason under heaven, except through their own blundering, selfish, hypocritical ignorance, are questions that Messrs. M. 0-. Cameron, Arch. Hislop and M. Y. McLean, and the "Globe in par- ticular," can only answer, with r the attractive charm of their evasive ambiguity. They might at the salve time say, why the Fielding & Pater- son bungle keeps iron, steel, jute, cotton, and everything that a salt maker uses daily on the dutiable, and put salt on the free list ? The public generally is not prepared I hear either of these high authori- ties allude in the vaguest, remotest manner to the bare possibility that Mr. Fielding has very good and suffi- cient reasons to keep his constituents in tune by protecting the coal industry in Nova Scotia ; any more than they are prepared to hear that dear old Mr. Paterson, that much caricatured celebrity at the head of the Customs Department, benefitted his own pocket by keeping up a tax on bis- cuf i3. I venture to say, that if Lloyd George dared to stand up in the House of Commons in Westminster and pro- pose a duty on any article he manu- factured, both sides would hoot him out of the House. He would never again show his face in the English political world 1 Were it not such a serious question, one might indulge in sarcastic in- vective, so flagrant and so unblushing is the ignorance displayed in this item of Salt as affected by the Reci- procity Pact. I visited the United States a short time since. I found one. factory with an output of 3500 barrels a day, another alongside of it with a capacity of 3000 barrels a day. Bins full of salt, and the proprietors not hesitating for a moment to announce in the most pleasingly frank, in- genuously honest manner their dis- tinct determination "To exploit our markets, as quick as ever Reciprocity passes." "Exploit our markets" is a Yankee expression that in plain English means to capture them. That done, our factories closed, our work- ing men out of employment, the people of Huron will have the pleasure of sending their dollars to a foreign country to pay for their salt, send their money out of the country. to keep foreign factories running, foreign workmen employed. and foreign store- keepers will benefit. The Canadian working man above all will have the heartfelt satisfaction in sending even his mite out of the country to help keep foreigners at work, While he possibly wants work, I ask any sensible, level headed Liberal, is it worth while biting off your nose to spite your face P Is it worth while voting for M. G. Cameron, Arch. Flislop or M. Y. McLean simply because you like them ? Cameron, Hislop and McLean, decent enough men as men, but their polities will ruin the Salt industry 1 Everybody is doing their level best to get industries developed locally. Here is an industry established—Why destroy it ? Think over this before you vote or even promise to vote. When the advocates of Reciprocity commenced the present agitation, their whole aim was to convince the fariner that he would receive a ;ouch higher price for all that he has to sell. They have dwelt on this so long and so persistently that now the consumer is beginning to wonder to what price, what he has to buy will soar, if Liberal speakers are correct, Consequently, the tune must now be changed, and to offset the "bigger price" argument, a bare -faced and two- faced argument is need. The farmer is still assured that he will get higher prices for his produce, and the eon - sumer is now consoled with the as- surance that he will pay less for the wheat, meat, butter and eggs, that the farmer produces. Surely even a school boy can see through so trans- parent a statement. If the price of cattle, sheep and hogs is increased, surely the butchers must pay more for them, and if so. then the butchers must increase the price of the meat to the consumer. The same is true of potatoes, butter, eggs, poultry, etc,, that are purchased directly at home. These necessaries are now bringing the farmer good prices, and the consumer living on bis wages considers them high enough to enable him to pay his way. Beaten on this argument, sup- porters of Reciprocity resort to the statement that the lowering of the duty on manufactured goods will give relief, and that middle men will get less. Let us examine this point ;— Smoked hams—Montreal, 15e ; To- ronto, 15c ; Chicago, 14ic. Bacon—Chicago,. 21c ; Boston, 17c ; Toronto, 16e; Montreal, 16c; Long clear, Toronto, 12c. Plate Beef—Montreal, 8o; Chicago 127�c. Flour—Toronto, $4 82 to $5 37 ; Buffalo, $106 to $5.71; Boston, $4.61 to $5,40, Rolled Oats—Minneapolis, $5 22 per bbl. ; Buffalo, $4.97 , Toronto, $4.67. On these items, the middleman in the United States bas a larger profit than the middleman in Canada, so that this Reciprocity argument falls to the ground. JOHN RANSPORD. Clinton, Sept. let, 1011, A Mersey Tp. man, who lives on a small farm near Leamington, recently made the statement that he feeds and clothes his family from the proceeds of the butter and milk which he gets from one Jersey cow. The record of this one cow last year was, 600 pounds of butter and 1,000 • gallons of milk, which netted her owner $250.

Mr. and Mrs. Hector McQuarrie spent Sunday with Wingham friends. Politics are now to the front, and several meetings have been held in the township.

Bryans and Mrs. Alex, Bryans. Harvest Home services will be con- ducted at Roe's Church on Sept. 1711s, morning and evening, and on Monday evening an excellent program is being prepared. The many friends of Robert Pear- son will be sorry to hear that he has not been having as good health as usual. He was threatened with ap- pendicitis. We hope he will soon re- gain his usual vigor. Last Wednesday, a very pretty wed- ding took place at the home of Mr. Wm. Hogg, when their eldest daugh- ter, Jennie, was united in marriage to Mr, Will, Mitchell of Mossbank, Sask. At six o'clock the principals entered the parlor to the strains of Lochen- grin's march played by Miss Anna Strachan, The bride looked, beautiful in silk mull trimmed with braided satin and carrying a handsome boquet of rosee, while her little flower girl, Miss Viola Hogg, was dressed in pink silk and carried pink roses. After tea was served, the evening was spent in social chat and a good program. The groom's gift to the bride was a sun- burst of pearls, to the organist a ere - sent of pearls, and to the flower girl a ring. The bride will be greatly miss- ed in this part where she took an active part in everything. Her travelling suit was pearl gray broad- cloth. They leave in the course of a few days for their home at Mossbank, Sask. With a pieta of glees in his foot for over two years, Mr, Hugh Linn of Owen Sound was treated for sciatica and rheumatism in hie leg and foot, and had suffered much pain. On Friday he underwent an operation and a piece of Blase, which had been the cause of the trouble was removed. Mr. Linn had stepped on a pair of spectacles eeeeral years ago and several planes of Mass had penetrated the sole of the foot. These were all supposed to bad bent rsuxoo-n . Bluevale. Mrs, Jas. Aitchison is holidaying with Guelph friends. Will Hall is home from Palmerston on account of ill health. Rev. Andrews and family of Foed- wich spent Labor day here. Mr. and Mrs. McKee of Tiverton spent Sunday at the parsonage. Miss 11 Higgins has gone to Wing - ham to take a course in the Business College. Miss M. Haney has taken a position in Miss Macpherson's millinery store, Wingbam. Fred. ,Haney of Toronto, also Howard of Listowel, spent Sunday at their home here.

Mies Greta and Frank Fleming returned to their home in London last week, after a pleasant two months' visit with their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Higgins.. Mr. Thos.

Miss Lena Pearen of Philadelphia, Pa., is visiting for a few weeks at her home in East Wawanosh. Mr, and Mrs. Ernest Geddes and Mrs. Porterfield, sr., visited over Sunday with Mrs. Ferguson of Bay- field. Andrew Taylor is putting a new dress of paint on his dote, which makes quite an improvement. Roth. Wheeler is the painter. Mr, Bowman is doing well In hie canvass. The campaign cry—"Laurier and the larger market" is a delusion. t+armerel who are wide awake to their own 'interests will vote Eowtaan, because that means sate -guarding our best market—the home market, while a vote for the Liberal candidate means ---Take down the bars, and opeti the home market to the oompetltion of the United States and the Twelve Vowed l attont. Among those who have taken in the exhibition at Toronto are :—Mr. R, Mathers, Mrs. G. Gannett, Mrs. Geo. Haney, Bella Robb, Morris and Rob. Bosman, Gertie Greenaway and others. Politicians are busy these days. Even strong Liberals admit that if the ballots read "For" and "Against," Reeiprocity would be defeated 2 to 1. There ie, however, no Reciprocity ballot. A vote for Mr. Bowman means that you do not favor Recipro- city and believe in Canada for the Ca- nadians and not for the United States. A vote for Mr. Hislop means that you want to share your home market with the United States and the Twelve Favored Nations. The wise farmer, Grit or Tory, will • vote Bowman, which means—Preserve our Home market, for there we get the best prices. Morris. Township rate of taxes for 1011 will be 3 8.10 mills on the dollar,.
