The Editor of the Advance.
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.

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

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.
