present irreconcilable attitude of this
THE SALT INDUSTRY. i paper towards the proposed measure
of freer trade with the United
Mr. John Ransford is generally in-
teresting. and his letter on the salt
business published last week in tbe
anti -reciprocity organs of the county
is thoroughly of the Ransford flavor.
The kernel of Mr. Rensford'e letter
is that reciprocity will ruin the salt
industry in Huron county. We had
almost thongbt that the` Huron salt
bovines- had already been ruined by
the competition of the large planta at
Wif.dsor aad Sarnia: hut we are
pleased to learn that there Is still
teem* left of this once important in-
dustry to make a fuse about.
Mr. Ransford lets tie kaeow that the
higher pries of coal at Clinton or
Godericb, eaoosipared with the price
at the faetsoriee en tie United States
:aide of River Et. Clair, to a handicap
with which under tree teats io salt
the industry here could not cope. He
virtually asks -that the people of . an-
eda who buy salt should pay this ex-
tra coat of fuel so that he may remain
in
business.
Now. has Mr. Ransford aoy particu-
lar claim upon tte sympathy of the
people t f Huron ? They have heard of
a salt trust. manipulated by none
other than Mr. Ransfotd himself,
wbtch paid money to salt manufac-
turers US close down their wells. thus
throwing their workmen out of em -
pert -anent. With competition thus
reduced, the price of salt was boosted.
and the farmers mai other users of salt
were forced to pay for keeping a num-
ber of salt wells idle. We do not
think Mr. Ransford will find many
persons in lfuron who will weep with
him over the troubles which have
tome upon his industry. Trusts are
not overly papular in Canada just
now. and when one of them gets Burt
some us.yrepetbetic people just say.
-Serves them tight."
However, we do not wish;to dismiss.
Mr. R•nsfords complaint in this way.
We believe be hes a grim abce in the
retention of the duty on coal. The
trouble is not that ere are getting too
much reciprocity : it is that we are
me&get Ling enough. We should have
ewiprt►city in (-oal. tin far as tee
manufacture of salt in this country is
hampered by the tariff on coal. we be-
lieve that a good rage is made out foe
relief. and en far as The Signal is coo-
eereed it will gladly support • move-
ment to have the duty remitted.
Further. we believe that tbe Liberals
of Huron generally would join is ask
.a$ tb. Government to rebate the duty

said:
"It amounts practically to Ere.

tween Canada and the United

"It means a µe and market for
Canadian' farmers. ft means that
the price. of Canadian products
will be determined by the Ameri-
can market.
"It means if expectations are
realized that Canadian farmers at
certain seasons will receive bet -

what they produce..
-It is not so certain that there
will be any such average increase
in agricultural prices as has been
predicted. but that ecce a to the
American market for some of
our products will mean higher
prises for the producers is a reit.
µenable expectation. It is import -
/int to face the facto fairly and
to admit the full force of the
argomente by whish many term-
er$ are influenced.
"'the West will welcome a free
American market for wheat and
oats.
"Undoubtedly the farmers of
Ontario desire the removal of
American custoin.s duties on live
stock, dairy products, vegetables,
ezgs and other articles covered by
the agreement.
"Quebec will be interested in a
free market for hay, vegetables,
dairy products. Free nob will be
a strong Attraction to the Mari-
time Provinces. Unquestionably-,
therefore. the arrangement - will
command strong support from
Oanedian producers. and as has
been -ait1 nothing else could have
been expected.
„Under all the circumstances
we The News) recognise that
Washington has offered terms
which it is difficult for Canada to
reject."
And n tw the News is screaming
itself black in the fare because it is be-
ing token se it, own word.
The Oraage Judd North-West Farm-
stead, a United States journal, declares
that the reciprocity agreement is jug-
hanlled. "It gives Canada the jag sad
leaves Uncle Sam only a small bit of the

REV. ANDREW MELDRUM, A GODERICH
"OLD BOY" OF WHOM WE ARE ALL
PROUD, WRITES THE SIGNAL REGARD-
ING THE ANNEXATION CRY.
In a recent note to Rev. Andrew Meldrum, D. D., of Cleveland. the
editor of The Signal mentioned the try of "annexation" which is being used
by the opponeota of reciprocity with the United States. The following letter
is in reply :
THE OLD STONE CHURCH, CLEVELAND, OHIO.
September 11th, 1911.
To the Editor of The SPiIg�n�al.
(ioderiett, fent
MY Dana SIR, -Replying to your fnvor of th.. Stb inst. let me say
with empba•is that any fear on the part of Canadians that the adop-
tion of freer trade between l'auada and the United States may lead to
the annexation of Canada by the United States is s fear that, in my
judgment. is utterly groundiese I have beena resident of this Re-
public for now well nigh thirty years, and hare had ample opportun-
ity for learning the eentimente of Americans in All walks and stations
of life. and this i unhesitatingly aver -annexation is not even
dreamed of se a remote possibility. Never was a statement farther
from the truth than that recently made try a Caaadian member of
Parliament, now opposing Reciprocity. when be said. "Every intens
gent Amorists cherishes the hope that Canada will some day be part
of the United States." The very opposite is the truth. No intelli-
gent Americas desires or hopes or dreams anything of the kind. if
l'anedians thlok that Reciprocity will be to the commercial disadvan-
tage of the I)ominion. let them vote against it on that ground. As
to the intrinsic merits of the proposed agreement• i here nothing to

Mr. Farmer, -Will getting 30c a

$400 to the returns from • hundred -

The trusts are fighting hard to de-
feat reciprocity. Are you going to

The Ter.tnto News has a despatch
from Winghern which says: 'The
Literal forma in Huron have re•lei,vei
a staggering Now through the defec-
tion of John Ran -ford." Possibly the
other instances which The News re-
lates of "Liberals" leaving their
party are just as reliable and accurate

find in the county.
it is great ;to see the way the anti.
reciprocity press is knocking the pro-
tection policy by telling of the hard
times and leek of employment in the
States. If Mr. Horden were to suc-
ceed in his election we should have a
duplication of the same conditions in
Canada. The eleston will maintain
Sir Wilfrid [eerier in pcwer and pre-
serve the prosperity which has always
!leen associated with his regime.
The Toronto Yelper 13. S. Willison
editor in chief) -ay, that the artisan
population of Canada takes 90 per cent.
of the yield df Canadian farms. The
Yelper lies. Carsda exports 25 per
cent. of her farm products. Of the re-
maining 75 per cent. at least one -ball
is consumed on the farms. leaving less
than 40 per cent. sold in what is called
the home markeL" But The Yelper
is too desperate in its tight for the
trusts and Mergers to get anywhere
near the truth.
The Boston News Bureau, a fore-
most American financial authority,
says : "The number of unemployed
lien in the United States at present is
estimated at 2.500,000." Do Canadian
workingmen want reciprocity
on to to News.
Reciprocity has nothing to do with
the number of unemp'oyed men in the
L'nited States ; but if it is defeated
and the Bordenitee come into power
we may have in Caned, a repetition
of the carni. el of high protection
which has resulted so disastrously
in the United Staten.
The Collingwood Bulletin says that
stories are being poured into the
ears of the fishermen up there that
reciprocity u ill permit the United
States fisherm,a to flab in Canadian
waters. There is. of course. not an
atom of truth in these yarns.
United States fivherwen are given ab-
solutely oo privilege by the recipro-
city agreement eecept that of sharing
the markets of the continent with Ca-
nadian fishermen. As theflsbermen of
Ooderich ship largely to Buffalo, even
against the duty, the advantage is alt
on their side. They get their fish in-
to the Buffalo market on the same
terms as the Yankee fishermen.
A nice "patriotic" game The Toronto
News ie playtng. The farm journals
of the L'nited States are bitterly op.
posed to reciprocity, knowing that it
will allow the farmers of Canada to
share in the great market which hith-
erto has been kept exclusively for their
own farmers. It is not strange, there -
lore, that these anti -reciprocity Jour-
nals is the States. ie order to des -
credit reciprocity in ('anada, should
try- to couple it with annexation,
knowing bow unpopular any sugges-
tion of annexation is in this country,
and trusting to papers Tike The Ter-
mite
ormite News, in the employ elf the
trusts, to copy their remarks and cir-
culate them among Canadian electors.
So The New., bent upon doing any-
thing that will help to deprive the farm-
ers of Canada mf the opportunity now
open to them. quotes es follows :
