A., ad- dressed a meeting there, en the burn- ing question of Reciprocity. Although the evening wee dark and the roads were poor, yet the hall waft filled. The speaker first referred to the Treaty of 1831, sad pointed out that, at tat time, ad no outlet to the West, and only the St. Lawrence to the east, and that the United State& was the oply available market, be- sides, daring this period the Crimean '4Var carried inflated prices, and the American Civil War drained Canada of all products at good prices.. - At the present time we have three outlets to the east, one to the west and the G.T.P. will open out two ad. ditional outlets. We have established a good market in Britain, have built up a strong home market, and Canada is prosperous. In 1890, 58% of the inhabitants of Ontario were on the farm and 42% in cities and towns now only 40% are on the farm and 54% in the cities, show- ing 12% changed from producers to consumers. We produced in farm precincts 532 million 'dollars, and ex- ported only 102 million dollars, thus the home market took over 80% of our farm crops, We produced 98 million in dairy products and exported 23 million; the remainder being used at home. As an illustration of the home market, we did not, in 1910, produce sufficient eggs for our own people, but imported 725,000 dozen, therefore, the high price of eggs was wholly due to our home market. Toronto, alone consumed six million dollars worth of beef in one year. A statement by a horse breeder in the West was quoted to show why the West favored the 'treaty, because they would secure cheaper horses. The object of the United States was to seeure our natural resources. These should be manufactured at home and thus give employment to the working- men of our own country. Wheat was free to the United States, but there was a duty of 50e per barrel on flour. This would tend to send the milling to the other side. Sir Wilfrid was quoted to show : 1— That "once we wanted Reciprocity, but now, thank heaven, .we could do without it." 2—That his main object in building the G. T. I'. was to send trade east and west, lest it should be diverted to the south. Why should we come at the beck and call of the United States ? They abrogated tee Treaty of 185554; they increased duties by the McKinley Bill, and eared not if we perished. Now, when we can stand alone, we should be careful to scan their offer closely. The speaker's strongest opposition. was on. National grounds. The Treaty was hailed by many of the leading men of'' the United States, not for the commercial benefits, but that it would ultimately lead to commercial union, and annexation. n. With this idea in many American minds, we should be very careful. The Americans would establish' lines of trade and acquire vested rights, and if we wished to repeal the Treaty, they would consider this an unfriendly act, \and there would be national danger. England went to war with Egypt, India, China and South Africa merely to protect the vested interests of her citizens. The West was fast filling up with Americans and foreigners, who had no national feelings and instincts, and a strong effort should be made to as- similate these people with the east. This could be done only by the in- tercourse of trade. Should the West for years trade with the Americans anda population of three million oc- cupy -cupy the western province, then there was great danger that Canada would be severed at the west of Ontario, The West want "free trade," and will in- sist upon this. Many of these western people have been in this country only for a few years, and do not realize the efforts putfforth and the money spent by Ontario, to unify Canada. In Conclusion this question should be viewed not in the light of mere dol- lars and cents, but in ite relation to the future destiny of Canada, and its relation to the British Empire. A hearty vote of thanks, on motion of W. II. Fraser, seconded by Rev. Mr. Andrews, was tendered the speak- er, both of whom complimented Mr, Musgrove on the eminently fair, and impartial manner in which he dealt with the subject. Mr. J. W. King, president of the Club, made a very ac- ceptable chairman. Morris. Township Council will meet on Mon- day, 24th inst. Miss Ethel Watson spent a few days in Wingham last week.

No. 4, attended the funeral of her cousin, Harold Menzies, on Friday of last week. Mr. Robt. McKay took the services at Roe's church last Sabbath, in the absence of the pastor, who is still very ill. Mr. McKay is always a welcome speaker at this appointment. The funeral of the Iate Mrs. Wm. McAllister of Toronto, formerly of Ethel took place on Monday from, Listowel to Molesworth cemetery. Her son, Wilfred, and Mr, John Mc- Allister accompanied the remains on the journey.

Ile made many friends here during his stay, who are sorry to lose him, but wish him success in his new undertaking, Ont. needs young men of his stamp. Hence we, regret his departure. The people of this locality were surprised to hear of the sudden death of John Strachan, which took place early Sunday morning. Although he had passed through a severe type of pneumonia, he was thought recover- ing, when the heart suddenly gave out, Mr. Strachan was among the pioneer settlers of Grey, and was well known and very highly respect- ed. He was a faithful adherent of the Presbyterian church, Brussels, and a promoter of every good cause. He leaves a wife, two sons and three daughters to mourn the Iose of a loving husband and 'father. They have the sincerest sympathy of the community. Kinloss. A correspondent of the Walkerton Telescope gives the followiug :—Tor 21 years a pleasant faced Iittle man has been journeying daily—Sundays and daysof ill -health or impassable roads, alone excepted — between Lucknow and Kinloss, his place of residence, to the north, a distance each way of 11 miles, That is Jimmy Browns- combe, stage driver and mail carrier —a man whose record of service in that capacity has probably never been equalled in Ontario. In those 21 years Jimmy has made, approximate- ly-, 0,200 "round trips" and has travel- ed enormous distance of 143,000 miles —this in all kinds s o f Canadian weath- er, over aroad which has become as familiar to him as was the prison call to Bonnivard. Faithfullest, happiest and poorest paid of Government ser- vants is Jimmy Brownscombe. Years ago he drove a team and "double buggy"' and carried considerable freight from Lucknow northward. His salary even then was not exces- sive, but "pickings" were good, Bit by bit, due to causes beyond control, the latter fell away ; bit by bit com- petition om- iti e p t on reduced the salary, till now the direct Government remuneration is less than 00 cents per day.
