BLUEYALE FARMERS' CLUB,
On Thursday of last week, upon an.
Invitation by the I3luevale Partners'
Olnb, , II. Musgrove, M. L. 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.

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.
