LWtM. oast -ice Oat • OODa1rJ . TgUasueY. ACO. v. t.tl SLIPPERY NW. Edward Norman Lewis has issued bis election address. and there is not a word in it about the great issue of this election. If reciprocity involves such grave dangers to Canadian nationality end to Canadian trade as the Opposition party says it does. is it not rather odd that the candidate of the party In this riding should ignore the issue en- tirely ? At the Conservative convention • few weeks ago some of the party leaden of the riding. evidently dis- trustful of Mr. Lewis attitude cn the; reciprocity 4{lmtime. refected from him a Idelgifilsee ipwwld follow Mr Borden in oppo.iog reciprocity. Having with this pledge secured the nomination, Mt. Lewis now coolly thrusts the whole matter aside and proceeds to run his campaign on bis own lioea. Mr. Lewis is making a monkey of the Conservative party in West Huron. He is the party candidate in order to get the party vote : be stays with the party just enough to have the party stay with him ; he believes to the principles of tbe party so long as they do not cooflict with the interests of Edward Norman Lewis. As wed have said. be is makiog a monkey oft s the Conservative party in this rid -1 ing. Mr. Lewis' relations with the Con- b servative party are none of our busi-1 th Peso : but it is e business of the in- dependent electorate of West Huron ait to see fla man who plays fart and loose with a great public question is b skips; but why has takerrariag ma- chiresry Dot bad the same effect upoo ties population' of the wsand cities t kabalism tam . If rammin. g were u theme ptoltabl. as it *bans" be, would be a radical jot-roaminthe pricer ul (arm property ; but there Ma been no suds increase. It meatbe conceded, then. that, is spite a the higher prices which tier farmer is re - caving for his products, the business of farming In Ontario is no bonanza. What will be the effect of reciproc- ity ? The lamer will have a larger and a steadier market and in some lines a higher market in which to sell his pro- ducts. With* steed/ demand for bis goods he will be able to increase his prodtrrtios profitably. and hire labor where now it is not profitable for him to do so. The tendeocy will undoubt- edly hs towards more thorough. more intensive cultivation ; the farms will support wore pesopie than they do metr Dow ; e than Le at present the ease the boys will be kept at borne on them far ; the deeliee of the rural popula- tion will cense and give place to a healthy growth ; the wholesome lite of tbe farm will be rendered more at- tractive, and in a greater degree eves than is at meant thecase the welfare of tail ti paos will rest securely upon the w ild familial= of a prosperous. con- tented. progressive rural population. There could be no mors dangerous symptom in the lite of a nation than a deaf111rg farm population : in so tar as reciprocity will arrest this decline and cause a tendency towards a healthy- growth it ' may truly be teemed a national policy. The increased prosperity of the farmers will he reflected in the in- creased prosperity of the towns. With more money to spen4 the farm- ers will be better customer, for the tradesp-opie of the urbtto centres. After many years of necessarily frugal living, when the expenditure of every cent had perforce to be carefully con- sidered in the prospect of a "rainy day," or a bad crop, or a period of tipl4.the farmer in some eases i*elbeeome aceuetoged to the ilea of ving more :coney than is absolutely necessary to "keep things going." and the Increased revenues of the last few years have in these cases gone to the seeing* bank (if, in- deed there %vas not • mortgage to be wiped off) rather than w the improve- ment ot the farm or the increase of the comforts of life. But when the faemer realises that with the markets of the continent open to him be will always be assured of good prices for his products, when be realises that his farm will pay good profits year atter year, he will not be afraid to pend his money and to enjoy life. He will then be a generou a customer of the meeche nta of the towns aod village*; is increased purchases will make mote business for the manufacturers, more emplt ywent forthe workingmeh, ad better conditions a/I round. By all mean.. let the farmer have is turn. not sent to represent this riding in the great council of the nation. LET THE FARMER HAVE HIS TURN. Some people are not taken with the election motto, "Let the farmer have his turn." They think that:tbefarmer is getting along pretty well as be is, and that be doesn't need any more of a "turn" than be is getting. Undoubtedly the Ontario farmer is better off than he was fifteen or twenty years ago. He has been freed of a por- tion of his burden by the fiscat legible - tion of the Lturier Government and he b*, hada eucoef .ion of good crop years. In many cases he is paying off tbe mortgage : in some cases he is building up s bank account. But with all this, fat ming is not on a proper busi- ness footing. in a great many in- stances our farmers have come late t heir properties by inheritance end have had to make only such capital outlay as would keep tbeir properties in good condition. They and their wives and children have worked hard and lived frugally. and their circumet•acea would be hard indeed if after spending the beet part of their lirm in this way they could not settle down with • modest competency for a few yesni rest in their old age. Figur. up the income and outgo of • farm on a business basis.

SIR JOHN THOMPSON AND RECt. PROUITY. Had the Conservative party been able to secure as favorable s reciproc- ity agreement as the Liberals Awe done there would have been ehoute of exultation in the camp, but because Liberals negotiated it and made what is really an excellent bargain, the Con- servatives denounce it. The following address was issued to the electors of Antigonlak. N.

Bat the reci- procity policy was sot intended for the benefit of asllliemaires. Workingmen should not be misled by the mium eewmtations of anti -reci- procity organs. The interests of the workingmen were not forgotten in the reciprocity agrosnent. Ask the nest anti -reciprocity man you come actor to explain just what the reciprolity agreement is. Ten to one he either will not know or will misrepresent the terms of the agree- ment. Brantford Liberate turned down Lloyd Harris, the former Liberaimeme her, on account of his stand against reciprocity. In doing so they *bowed themselves to be honorable and con- sistent., It is hardly worth while pointing out that if reciprocity should turn out to be unsatisfactory to Canada it an be repealed by the Canadian Par- liament at any time. It isn't going to be unsatisfactory. • "Let Canada keep up its ilM fenee," is the aboard Opposition cry.

It may not be a sate idea to tamper with such a market." This averages slightly tem than $14.00 per hog. Most farmers will consider that sixty-six bogs is a little better than halt a hundred—in Leet, decidedly batter. But apart from that, bow much more wed these bogs be worth under reoiprociCy?
