HESS & SON, Zurich, Ontario Kalbfleisch's MILLS. W. C. T. IT. THE TAME ,ANACONDA; A few years ago a noted wi 10. - beast tamer gave a performance with his pets in one of the leading London theatres. He took his lions, tigers, leopards and hyenas through their part of the enter- tainment, awing his audience by his wonderful nerve and control over them. As a closing act of the performance he was to introduce an enormous boa -constrictor, thir- ty-five feet long, Ile had bought it when it was only two or three days old ; and for twenty-five years he had handled it daily so that it was considered perfectly harmless and completely under control. He had seen it grow from a tiny rep- tile, which he had often carried in his bosons, into a fearful monster. The curtain rose upon an Indian woodland scene. The weird strains of an Oriental band stole through the trees. A rustling noise is heard, and a huge serpent is seen winding its way through the undergrowth. It stops. Its head is erected. Its bright eyes sparkle. Its whole body seems animated. A man e- merges from the heavy foliage. Their eyes meet. The serpent quails before the man—the man is victor. The serpent is under the control of a master. Under his guidance and direction it performs a. series of frightful feats. At a signal from the man it slowly ap- proaches hint, and begins to coil its heavy folds around him. High- er and higher do they rise, until man and serpent seem blended in one. Its hideous head is reared aloft above the man's. The man gives a little scream, and the aud- ience unite in a great burst of ap- plause, but it freezes on their lips. The trainer's scream was a wail of death agony. Those cold, slimy folds had embraced him for the last time. They had crushed 'bhp life out of him, and the horror- stricken audience heard bone after bone craek, as those powerful folds tightened upon him. Man's play- thing had become his master. His slave for twenty-five years had now enslaved him. In this horrible incident is por- trayed the whole story of intemper- ance. The man who has taken the first glass of intoxicating liquor has the boa of intemperance in his bosom. If he throttles the monster now, it is easily done. But if he permits it to live, feeds and nour- ishes it, he may control it for even twenty-five years, but it is continu- ally growing, and some day its soul-destroying folds will encircle his soul, and bear it to those re- gions of woe 'where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.'

These items from the list of free goods imported from the United States fully explain the opposition of our protected manufacturers to any change in the dir6ntion of re- ciprocity. They now enjoy the right to import what they are pleased to designate raw material, and after it passes through their hands they sell it to the Canadian consumers at protection prices. The farmer, who must pay duty on his implements and other "raw matertal," sells in a market in which a tariff can afford no com- pensating advantage. This con- trast shows what organization and voting for one's own interest can accomplish. S AL BTOWIV Special to THE HERALD.

The antagonism shown by the Canadian manufacturers towards reciprocal trade with the United States is not outwardly consistent with the wide measure of freedom t]iey now enjoy in importing from that country. Iron and steel, wire rod, for example, is free to manu- facturers of wire, and was import- ed last year to the value of $1,212,- 205. The manufacturers pay no duty on this, but sell the product to the Canadian consumer at pro- tection prices. On woven wire fencing the duty is 15 per cent, and it is as much the raw material of the farmer, gardener and poultry - raiser as the free wine is of the manufacturer. The total free im- portation of iron and steel manu- factured last year was $6,524,835, and this was largely, though not entirely, used by protected manu- facturers. In our free imports from the United States last year, metal, minerals, and manufacturers of them make an aggregate of $9,224,420. This indicates that the protected class in Canada enjoy all the benefits of that reciprocity of which they are ready to deprive others. Hides wore imported free of duty to the value of $2,174,764, but the purchasers of leather and leather goods must nay protection. The total value of wood. and man- ufactures of wood imported duty free from. the United States during the year was $4,248,462, and a con- siderable portion of this was made up of supplies for manufacturers receiving protection prices for their output. Our woolen manu- facturers, who are agitating for more protection, enjoy the advan- tage of free wool. Over a million and a half dollar's worth of crude rubber and gutta pereha carne in free from the United States, while the purchasers of rubber goods must pay from 25 to 35 per cent. protection. Undressed furs camp in free across the line to the value of close on a million dollars. Drugs and chemicals used largely in the manufacture of imported articles were imported free to the value of over two and a quarter millions. Cotton manufacturers paid no duty on the wool, waste, and fine yarn they required to the value of $6,- 047,530, and they are protesting that the present high rate of pro - CHAS.
