The old flag, the old policy, the old pilot. The Old Flag, with all the Imperial obligations which it implies and which Bourassa repudiates. The 01d Policy, the policy of Sir John A McDonald, as surely as it is the pol- icy of Sir Wilfred Laurier. The Old Pilot, the statesman who for fifteen years has sailed the ship of state upon the waters of prosperity. Hislop and larger markets. Hislop and a square deaf for all. Hislop is the man for East Huron. Vote for Hislop and larger markets. A vote for Hislop is a vote for a unit- ed. Canada. East Huron electors must not be de- Iuded into thinking that they can vote for reciprocity in any other way than by supporting Mr. Hislop. "What difference does it make? I beleive that Laurier will carry the country and you will get reciprocity, and therefore a vote for me will not matter." -Oliver Wilcox, Conservative candidate in North Essex. Mr. E. D. Smith, of Wentworth, who is now opposing reciprocity, spoke in the House of Commons on the 20th of /Starch, 1908, as follows: ---"I would ask: Has this Government, during the past ten years, opened up any new market? ..Have we been able to get our products into France or the United States on better terms? Not at all, When they were in opposition these hon. gentlemen opposite promised that if they were returned into power they would get our calves and sheep and horses in free r e tc the United States- yet tates---yet today these animals go to the United States subject to e.caetiy the same duties as they were then," tate o;ity emulsion tote i.

If you are in favor of reciprocity vote for Arch„ Hislop en the 210 of September. A. well known Wingham Conservative told The Post he expected Sir Wilfrid Laurier could be Premier aa long as he wanted the job, --•Brussels. Post, The Nor'west Ferner of Winnipeg says that "It is a pretty safe guess that at least 75 per cent of the people of Canada west of the Great Lakes are in favor of the reeiprocity agreement being passed," The United States sold us last year more than twice what we sold them. The balance in their favor was $165,- 732,000. The Mail and Empire says that the balance against us under the pact will be "at least $250,000,000 a. year, because of the influx of American natural products." It would be inter- esting to know how the Mail and Em- pire figures that out. Let it compare notes and tables with the agricultural journals in the United States, which 'figure out that things will be going just the opposite way, all in our favor. "I am heartily in favor of reciproc- ity. So far as I can see, the men who are leading the fight against it are cer- tainmillionaires of the city of Toronto. It will be a great thing for Canada. I will allow no man tocharge me with being weak in my loyalty to the British Empire, and this cry is one of the most foolish ever presented to the peo- ple." -Mr. Albert Whitney, brother of Sir James Whitney, speaking at the Liberal convention, Prescott, Septem- ber 7th. Electors of East Huron should look to their own interests and vote for Hislop. The Reciprocity Pact will only con- tinue in force during Canada's pleasure. There is a specific provision that Cana- da "shall be absolutely free to make any change of tariff policy, or of any other matter covered by the present arrangement that may be deemed ex- pedient." The pact does not open the Canadian market to the twelve "favor. ed nations" with which Britain has treaties. In accordance with a resolu- tion passed at the Imperial Conference in June,. Britain will abrogate these, in so far as they concern Canada Speaking of A.W. Wright, who spoke in Wingham under the auspices of the Imperial Mission, the Stratford Beacon says: ---"An old Tory political cam- paigner like A. W. Wright posing on a non-partisan platform called the Im- perial Mission is to make one laugh. For twenty-five years an organizer and apouter for the Conservative party, with a brief interval when he was tout- ing the "rag baby" through the Unit- ed. States for the Greenback party, is his record. Are there not some more political fakirs that the Conservative party can hunt up to entertain Strat- ford audiences?" An interesting incident that came within his experience in Ontario the other day is being told by A. • R. Mc: Master, the well-known Montreal K.C., as the best definition of the issue be- fore the country that has Yet been made. He was talking to a veteran postmaster in GIengarry county who had been a life-long and enthusiastic Conservative: "I suppose you are go- ing to vote for reciprocity?" he asked. "Well, I'll tell you, Mr. MacMaster," replied the old man. "My brother has been accusing me of turning my coat, but I say to him, 'What do we support -a party policy or a party name? When you and I voted shoulder to shoulder for Sir John A. Macdonald in 1891 what did we vote for? It was for reciprocity and I am going to vote for it now.' " "I want to grow barley in my rota- tion, because it is about the only crop we can grow and be sure of a catch of clover. It is not as good feed as some others. I hold it will be greatly to our advantage to sell it and exchange it for something else --sell it at 80 or 90 cents and buy American corn at 60 cents. I will be better offs Malting barley sells at 90 cents in Buffalo and 64 cents in Toronto. Peed barley at 74 cents in Buffalo and 47 cents in Toronto. Can- adian barley bas not gone out of busi- ness, We can grow as good barley as ever, The only handicap is the 30 cents a bushel duty into the United States. "Now do you want that market? Do you think it is a good thing for Cana- dian agriculture? I think it is."-E.C. Drury, President of the Ontario Farm- ers' Association, at Malvern, While refusing to see eye to eye with Mr. Dixon, the Welland Telegraph,. which opposes reeiprocity givespublic- ity to the following: "Joseph Dixon, the well-known farmer of Thorold Township, and an ex -reeve and council tor, has advanced an excellent argu- ment in favor of the reciprocity deal. Mr. Dixon states to the Telegraph: 'If reciprocity had been in effect this year the product which I will have to sell from my farin would be worth $500 more than I can get for them under the present conditions.' This is worth. more in aid of the deal than the blat- ant generalities about Laurier and larger markets. If this gain is true in Mr Dixon's case itis also true in the ease of all our farmers,and it means I a tremendous increase in the returns from the industry of agriculture in I Welland County." THE FARMER'S CHANCE, "Sir John Macdonald told the farm. era of this country that they must be the most contented class in. the Coun- try, because they never asked for any- thing ---and they never got anything, A year ago they asked for something, and the world at up and listened, and ow Government sat up and listened, and in response to. that demand, and. that demand only, they have acted in this reciprocity matter. If we do not take thea now, will any Government in the future ever listen to any demand from the farmers? "This is not a party fight in the usual sense, It is a fight on this one issue raised by the farmers, Will you turn down your own request and place the farmers j this country in a position where they will never ask for anything again?" --E. C. Drury, President of the Ontario Farmers' Association, at Mal- vern. LIBERALS MUST WQRK TO WIN. The campaign goes well. Reciproc- ity is popular in the rural constituen- cies all over the Dominion. There is a very strong drift of old-time Conser- vatives toward the Government, espec- Tally in rural Ontario. But Liberals must not because of this expect an easy victory. In the towns many large employers of labor are fighting reei- procity with every weapon at their disposal ---by means of wealth, business relationships, and power over their employees. In no election since 1896 has there been such a strenuous effort on the part of the money power in Canada to destroy the Government. If the verdict is to be conclusive, Liberals must put every possible • ounce of steam into the campaign during the remaining days. The Conservatives have no hope of an actual victory, but they do expect to render the Gov- ernment impotenk by a material reduc- tion in its majority, That will be possible only as a result of apathy on the part of supporters of reciprocity. It should be avoided at all costs. Let Laurier set before them as a goal ---the return of Laurier by a larger majority, -Toronto Globe. THE WORKMAN AND RECIPROCITY. W. A. Fraser, the well-known author, who has always heretofore voted Con- servative, says: - "I believe in reciprocity. The far- mer cannot lose, and he will get a big- ger market. The workman, the back- bone of the country, will get cheap food. If the workman wants to know how to vote let him go through the residential sections of Toronto, where there are houses costing from $15,000 to $200,000, and each with its , automobile. The price of meat is nothing to the owners. Let him realize that protect- ion has given all these things. Less than 20 per cent, of Canadian manufac- turers fail. They are getting rich. It is claimed that the American manufac- turers will come over. Let them come. They will pay our workmLn •better wages. "Has Canada done well? We are a rich country, and have only enough people to fill New York State. "I see that a Canadian cement mer- ger has just been formed, by the assis- tance of $18,500,000 of English capital. Our trusts are more dangerous than those in the United States. How do they stand on the question of reciproc.' ity? They are solid against it. In the histories of all nations there has al- ways been war between the privileged classes, the holders of large opportuni- ties, and the working classes, the real developers of the country. But the prophecy of dire disaster comes from high places. The rooster crows, but the hens lay the eggs." Our Great. Opportunity. (Farm and Dairy.) Should the farmers of Canada not support the movement in favor of reciprocity all hope of farmers as a body receiving any further considera- tion at the liana of either political party will be set back for a generation. During the past ten years the farmers of Canada have been clamoring for freer trade with the United States. Our demand for larger markets and the reduction in the duty on many of the articles we bay has grown year by y various year. Our farmers'organiza- tions nr g tions have all pronounced in favor of it. At last the Dominion Government has listened to our demand and Lias introduced a measure of freer trade. Should we as fanners, or a majority of us, now vote against that measure, both tialiticai parties would take it as positive proof that as farmers we can- not be depended upon to stand to- gether on any political question, and they decide that their safety in politi- cal meters hereafter will rest in stand- ing by the manufacturers and the other better organized classes. Can we as farmers afford to lose this fight?

If reciprocity it approved by the Canadian electorate all classes of con- sumers will derive more or less benefit from the reduction in the tariff on cer- tam articles imported from the United States for general consumption.
