'tering which they thus bring upon
entirely innocent persons.

"The great issue in Canadian poli-
tics at the present moment concerns
trade relations with the United
States, and from this time forth it
will be a controtling issue. This
mewls that Canada is moving rapidly

other, posreble settlement of the
question. We expect to see the stars
of the Canadian states,,upon the bane
ner of the republic." -New York
Sun.
"I •have fciend• in a short exper-
ierioe, during which it has been me
priyilege and inn for lane to be placed
at the head of affairs; by the will
of the Canadian people, • that the
best and most effective way to
maintain friendship with our Ameri-
can neighbors is to be absolutely in-
dependent of them." - Sir Wilfrid
Laurie.. ie tfae House of Commons,
1903. •
We had today a visit front several
prominent A:memican veterinaries, who.
are in Tieronto ror the veterinary
convention. Dr. Robinson, one of
their numfber, said to the writer :
"The horse trade in the States is
dead. Why, in Chicago one firkin
that handled 200 • hors a week,
doesn't+ now sell 20 in a week. In
Chicago • automobiles are displacing
the carriages and heavy deaught
horses got secone place to the motor
truck. We can't sell horsce for the
money' we used to and we want rec-
iprocity'. Reciprocity would help us
out and we could sell horses tb you
at one hundred dollars that you
showed us in your stables as lying
sold yesterday for one hundred and
seventy-five dollars." That's 'what .a
Chicago 'Veterinary sal!, aodeit was
a pleasure to see the way his eyes
glnitened when.. he said "reciprocity."
-World. .
•
"In the same way, Canadian choose
alto' years of experience and large
eipeadiaare• of money has 417i'ven
Almerican choese out of the Bniteeli
market. How could .this preemin-
ence be preeenved, if Canadian cheese
passed 'through the • hands of Amer -
lean Shippers over the* boaler 7 We.
have, thereCore, to consider not the
first profit, if profit there be, but the
ultimate -effect .upon att industro
which yields us anenielly anima; $30,-
000,000. The advance of a few cents
in pniee in exceptiotial conditions a
the market should not dominate the
general effect of the large aspect ,of
the question and the business enter-
cets of all the cheese factories in
Canada." --From the address of Sir
Geo. W. ROM, Liberal Premier of
Ontario,' before the Toronto Board of
Trade, Novetriber. 3rd; 1910.
Coed Enough
• to be Left Alone.
Though the pant season has not
been art unduly brisk one, over $40,-
000 hes been paid out M Clinton for
horselnat prices previensly unheard of
in the history of the farm heese
trade in this cenntry.
We here give a lest of a few of the
purchases made a,nd tine faeces aid:p
Jas. Hamilton, 5 horses for which
he received $1670. • One of them' was
a colt rising three years for which
was paid $300,
Ben. Churchill, one team It $720
. and another pair at $740, a total
of $1,460 foe fourheavy horses,
that is an average of $365.
Rohn Aleutian, one, $280.
Thos. Malts, olio, $285.
John' nliennahan, two, $700.
W. Young, one, $350.

L. Anderson, ow, $390.
T. Mason, one, $285.
J. Cornish, evvo, $530.
J. Scott, for font', close to $1,400.
These ago bigger prides than our
farmers a few years ago thought
possible and if they can maintain
thein at this level they+ will 1+e well
satisfloi, but in order to do so it
will be necessary to preserve the Can-
adian market for Ate Canadian horse.
All the borstri itt the above small
list of sales were, with the excep-
