THE 6INAL GODERICH, ONTARIO
REChPROCITY A BE EFIT
TO ONTARIO ELEVATORS.
ELEVATOR BUSINESS HAS ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING TO FEAR FROM FREE TRADE
IN GRAIN GODERICH ELEVATORS
HAVE PECULIARLY ADVANTAGEOUS
POSITION.
CLINTON
BUSINESS COLLLOE
CWO afrOTTOM. Penman.,
An attempt is being made to create $ scat, as to the effect of reciprocity
upon. the grain elevator trade of Canada. This bualnesa is inereasilitt in im-
portance as the Western production of grain Increases. and Goderich is inter-
ested because of the large businewt in this line that passes through Goderich
harbor.
So far as the export trade is concerned, reciprocity makes no difference in
Use situation. Export grain is now, and always has been, carried in bond
from one -country through the other. and as the Canadian route is the abort-
er it is gradually getting a larger proportion of the business.
But, say the objectors. the United States will ti►>te our wheat and milt it.
Well. if that is an injury to Canada it is one which the States sea inflict upon
us at any titne, dwplly by the removal of their duty. The matter is in weir
own hsnds. There is, then, 'absolutely nothing in t e reciprocity agreement
to injure our elevator trade.
Further light upon the elevator businea is obtained from the statements
of a repreeentetive of the Goderich Elevator & Transit Co., who says :
"The statement that reciprocity will be injurious tu Ontario grain eters-
torsespecially our local terminal, is entirely unfounded and incorrect..
While the Elevators on Georgian Bay, at Port Colborne, and Kingston are
operated principally in the handling of export business by transferring grain
from Lake vessels to can or barges, which is destined for export via Montreal
or othet seaboard ports. they are used principally as feeders for the railways
in securing traffic. All of these elevators are taxed to their capacity spring
and fall, at►d in fact for the greater part of the navigable season, despite the
tact that the port of Buffalo and eastern American railways have reduced the
Oust of handling. and each year the volume of business increases over our Can-
adian lake acd rail and all -water routes, simply because these routes afford a
more economical and faster means of transportation, and as the grain yield of
our Western Provinces iucreaaes each year so will these Canadian elevators
and railways continue to handle as Isrge a percentage of the export business
as their capacity will permit.
"While the elevators of the Goderich Elevator &Transit Company handle
only a small quantity of export grain, they find their rapacity required for
the domestic milling and feediug business of Ontario and Quebec, and finding
this more profitable they are satisfied to leave the export business to Georgian
Bay elevators. Geographically Goderich holds an exceptionally advantageous
position for the storage and trans -shipment of domestic groin for the milling
and feeding trade of Ontario, as with :t short water -haul from the Upper
Lakes and being the radius of an area comprising the larger interior mills and
feeding territory, the trade is reached with a lower nil haul than from other
ports, while the outlying uilis are reached on a parity with other p)rts by
competitive rates. Abeolutely fireproof concrete elevators secure the mini-
mum insurance rate, and with an outlet by tiro railways the shipper finds it
most advantageous to centralize his business at this port, for distribution to
the milling and feeding trade:
"The cry that reciprocity will close up the Ontario milts upon which the
local elevators are dependent for their business is absolutely unfounded and
ina.xurate, as it is well known that it is upon these mills that the merchant
and housekeeper depend for their supply of pastry flour. Purely Manitoba
blonds of hard wheat flour. or the (tour of the American hard wheat, are not
as suitable for pastry purposes as the flour secured from the blending of the
Ontario soft wheat and Manitoba hard w heat together. Every large Cana-
dian tnilling company necessarily has some connection with the interior mill-
ers of Ontario wheat, whereby they obtsiu sufficient soft wheat flour for
their pastry salts. A local instance of this is the acquiring of the Seaforth
mills by the Ogilvie Company, wbo use this mill for the blending of the (lo-
tario and Manitoba wbeet flour, and as long as wheat is grown in Ontario
these mills will prove a factor in the milling trade, and Goderich elevators
will continue to supply thein with the hard wheat frau, the Wesrern I'rov-
foces.
"The benefit of reciprocity to our local e'evators will accrue in the removal
of the duty on oats and barley, thus giving shippers A naw field for the sales
of these Manitoba grades in the New England States. Some three or four
yeas ago a short crop of oats in the United States necessitated purchases
from Canada., And our elevator handled a large volume of Manitoba cats for
distribution to New England points. The excelleot quality of Canadian
Western oats watranted the American purchaser in paying the duty, and
with the removal of this tariff s Targe field will be opssid to our -shippers with
a resultant increase in business through our elevators. While the opponents
of reciprocity may argue that if this obtains then the oats for tine New Eng-
land trade will go thiougb Buffalo instead of Goderieb, the same condition of
economy in centralising business at Goderich for distribution to Ontario, Que-
bec and New England points will prevail, as the water haul to Ooderieh and
eastward tail haul to Island Pond mod other American points of entry ensures
ms equitable a rata and even prompter despatch than by the American
route."
ANOTHER ARGUMENT AGAINST
RECIPROCITY NAILED.
To tie Editor of Otic Signal.
$is, -"Eight million people in Can-
s& could not successfully t, ade with
ninety million people. The odds
against us are too great." It is de-
plorable to think that in a countr -
like Canada with its educational ad-
vantages there are people simple
enough to imagine that the above is
an argument age inst rectplocity. and
yet this argument is on a par with
most of the other arguments that are
'stied against reciprocity. No proton
supposes that one man can success-
fully fight against ten men. but one
into can co-operete with ten men to
111P mill nal :•dtantage of all. How do
sixty thousand people in the county of
Huron compete with eight million
people in Canada? The cases are ex-
actly parallel. T h e fundamental
p1 incipir underlying trade is exchange
for mutual lieneflt. Some people are
simple enough to imagine that a bar-
gain that helps one's neighbor must
necessarily injure himself. The pur-
pose of reciprocity is to help both Can-
ada and the Dotted Stater. it does
imply fustic encounter, but has ref-
erence to friendly !.iter or trade.
Eight million people in Canada are
just now tradiog with ninety Milker
to the united States to the extent of
three hundred million dollars an-
nually and to the advantage of both
countries. if the amount were
doabied by reciprocity nobody would
he injured, for nobody would buy to-
wn to the Americans amine; it did
himself some good. It is a pity. Mr.
itditor, to take up your space in an
sweriog argumenis of this kind, but
roti know they are the kind that are
used and therefore must he answered.
To the yo.rng Conaervatiye casting
bis first ballot this is an opportune
time for him to sit up and say, like
the man from Missrwtri, "Show me."
As for the older generation, it is a
quotation of "Ephraim is joined to hie
idol.. let him alone." Reciprocity
will greatly help the farmer and if Ire
i. helped everyone is. The rranufac-
I ur"er has not been disturbed ; why
shortid he try to keep us in 1►nnd.ge ?

against reciprocity sad everything in

HOW TRADE INCREASED UNDER
THE OLD RECIPROCITY TREATY.
"The gross traffic between the United
States and the British Provinces rose,
in the eight years immediately before
the treaty went into operation, from
eight millions of dollars in 1846, to
nine millions io 1848; to ten millions
in 1847 ; to twelve millious in 1848; to
fifteen millions in 1850; to eighteen
millions in 1861 ; and to twenty mil-
lions in 1853. In 18M the reciprocity
treaty went into operation, and at
one jump the traffic went up in that
year to no less than thirty-three mil-
lions of dollu's. In the following year
it went to forty-two millions ; in 1857
to forty-six millions; In 1850 to forty-
eight millions ; in 18th to flay -five
millions; in 1884 to sixty-seven mil.
lions; in 1865 to seventy-one millions;
and in 1806 (when the treaty came to
an end) to no less than eighty-four
millions of dollars." -From speech de-
livered by Hon. George Brown in the
Senate in 1875.
Farm Journal Speaks Out
The Orange Judd North-West Farm-
stead. a United States journal, bar the
following to say in a recent Josue:
"It would seem to be a foregone
s000hrsion that reciprocity will win in
the Osnadian elections by a vote of
two to one. Why? Because this
measure will enormou.Iv .timnlate
Canadian agriculture without in any
way injuring Canadian manufactures.
Canada has absolutely everything to
gain and utterly nothing to lose by
approving of reciprocity. Itis not Inc.
much to say that should reciprocity he
endorsed at the ('snadian elections,
September 21, the ultimate result
thereof will be to double the value of
every acre of good land and timber
and of every town or city lot in tbe
Dominion.'
The 1lnitrd 8tatpe farmers air
against the reciprocity egreemen(.
They know that Canada'. rich farm
bands ran capture tine United Mates
