Quotations From American Sources
The Advance will submit a few quotations occasionally from
American sources. We ask our readers what they think of such
brazen audacity as is contained in these extracts. You are not
likely to see any of these reproduced in Liberal papers, but we
can give you dozens of them. Read them carefully each week
and then do some thinking.
(From The Boston Herald.)
"In plain words, it is held that American reci-
procity with Canada means THE END OF BRITISH
IMPERIAL FEDERATION. The great prize is
CANADA, nnrninally commercial Carmelo, BUT
ACTUALLY THE POLITICAL DOMINION:"
* *
(New Orleans Picayune)
"Many persons in both England and Canada
as well as in this country, regard reciprocity as
the INITIATORY STEP TOWARD THE ANNEX-
ATION OF CANADA TO THE UNITED STATES."
,.
Before Reciprocity passed the United States Senate, Senator
Cummins of Iowa (a sure candidate for President of the United
States) said as foliows :—
"I am for the annexation of Canada. I have
always a been,
and if it were generally
understood
od
THAT CAADIAN
ANNEXATION WAS TELE
PURPOSE OP THE PENDING PACT, it would
doubtless help the measure to become law in the
United States,"
Plain talk that. "Canadian annexation the purpose," eh ?
And is this the goal to which Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Fielding (and
Mr. Hislop) would lead us ? As Canadians Learn the true inward-
ness of the agreement, they may decline to be led in that direction.

—The Ontario farmer is receiving
More today for every acre of land
producing wheat, barley, oats, pota-
toes and other commodities, than does
the farmer in New York State. Yet
we find men proposing to level the
Canadian market to that of the Unit-
ed States.

---Hon. A. 0. Mrtberf rrtl, ex -
Premier of Alberta, and a T,tbera!, said
recently —"We nal- ht heave got all

the concessions we wanted from the
United Stater, if we had waited for
them, for nothing, The democrats in
the Stater, when they names into pow-
er, Would have lowered the duties
ricyway.
—We hear a good deal about the
ninety million United States *market,
but we do not hear so much about the
fact that ninety men will be shipping
goods from the United States to every
eight shipping from this side. Liber-
al papers do not mention that,

—Here are
the amounts of British
capital invested in Canada in the last
three years :—
In 1008 $152.373,182

Canada cannot, afford to check the
flow of British capital into this eonn-
try by entangling herself in' tariff
alliance with the ignited States.

—In epeaking at his nomination in
Brussels on August 8•,b, Mr. Samos
Bowman said :—"If this treaty goes
through, preferential trade will be off
for all time to come, We have in this
country people who are not yet fully
citizens or British subjects. We want
to preach to them that anything
which affects the empire affects them.

W108ham Voters' last.
The Voters' list for this Town is
now in the hands of the Clerk. There
are as follows,—Ward One, 104
voters ; Ward Two, 151 ; Ward Three,
108; Ward Four (subdivision 1) 205 t
(Subdivision 2) 100. Total number of
names on the list 81$. The list was
first posted up in the Clerk's office on
August 12ih. The number qualified
to serve as jurors is 355.
Indifference Indeed.
The Grand Valley Star reports that
is By-law of the township of Amar-
anth wee recently voted on, to raise
83500 to build two steel bridges. Out
of the thousand voters available just
37 availed thetnselves of the privilege
of voting, and of these 5 voted against
the by-law. Of course, the by-Iaw
carried, but it does seem strange that
indifference should reach such a stage
in municipal affairs.
The Choral Society.
The interest in this musical organi-
zation is being sustained to a remark-
able degree, About one hundred and
twenty-five young people have become
permanent members and are taking
advantage of the training being given
by Mr. Christie. To develop a taste
and desire for musical advancement
in so many young people is a very
laudable object. The practices go
with a swing and are much enjoyed
by those interested. Some excellent
music is on the way, and on its arrival
practice will cominence on it. A
couple of the numbers are—"The Ris-
ing of the Clans" by Rossini, and "For
Christ and The Church" by T. Mee
Pattison, who is a very brilliant'writ-
er. Our citizens will be looking for-
ward to the first concert by the
Wingham Choral .Society.
A Former Resident.
The Grass Lake News (Michigan)
reports the following, referring to a
brother of Mr. Wm, Wellwood of
Wingham, and a former resident of
this vicinity :—"Rev, S. D. Wellwood
closed his pastorate of the Congrega-
tional Church here last Sunday and
will leave Friday to take up his work
in his new field in Lansing, where he
has accepted a call from the Mayflow-
er Church of that city. Rev. Well -
wood has endeared himself to our
people at large as well as those of bis
Church, and it is with regret that we
chronicle his leaving us. He and his
family have made many friends here
who join in wishing him success in his
new field, and the people of Lansing
can feel assured that they have secur-
ed the services of a capable and earn-
est Christian worker, in the person of
Rev. Wellwood." Before leaving, Mr.
Wellwood was the recipient of a very
complimentary address from his con-
gregation,

enjoyable and successful tournament
is expected.
Peculiar Accident.
A peculiar accident recently hap-
pened on the farm of William Polfuss,
near Mildmay, which resulted in the
loss of a valuable mare. The team,
attached to the mower, was being
driven over a rough spot in the field,
when the left horse made a jump for-
ward, throwing its mate into the
knives of the mower, The tendons
of the mare's leg were severed, which
rendered the mare totally useless.
She was valued at nearly $300, and
was ono of the best in the township.
Wingham Fali Fair.
Now don't let the elections shut out
of your vision, Wingham Fall Fair.
The ballots will be all in by 5 p.m. on

its predecessors in success, It may if
every person interested does his beat
to make it successful. Combined ef-
fort (and good weather of course) will
help to put the Society on good foot -
Inge Let us interest you in Wingham
Fall Fair.
The Opening Day.
Principal Stalker of the Public
School announces that the School will
open on Tuesday,. September 5th,
Pupils are expected to be on hand the
brat day in order to be organized into
class to commence the term work to-
gether. This is necessary if satisfac-
tory progress is desired. It is annoy-
ing to the teachers and a hindrance
to the progress of the classes, to have
pupils commencing the work, when
others have two or three weeks the
start. Every child present at the first
colt call would be a good record. Try
it boys, girls -(and parents, too.) The
High School classes open the same
day, and the same applies to the
pupils of that institution.
The Tax Roll.
Collector C. N. Griffin has his tax
schedules completed, and is delivering
there. The total amount on the Roll
is $24,835 00. • The following reduc-
tions will be allowed for prompt pay-
ment :—On taxes paid on or before the
15th day of September a reduction of
one and one-half per cent. On taxes
paid between the 10th day of Septem-
ber and the 15th day of October (both
days inclusive) a reduction of one per
cent. On taxes paid between the 10th
day of October and the 15th day of
November (both days inclusive) a ;Re-
duction of one-half of one per cent,
Taxes paid after the 15th of November
must be paid in full ; and a percentage
charge of five per cent, will be impos-
ed on all taxes not paid on or before
the 14th day of December.

High School Scores Again.
The results of the Junior matricula-
tion are out and Wingham High
School has reason again to be proud
of the excellent results. Five candi-
dates who wrote on the Normal En-
trance were also candidates for com-
pletei

a were suc-
cessful, They are as follows :—Ernest

complete matriculation standing and
all were successful. They are :—Viola

son, Milton Roadhouse passed the
matriculation examination for the On-
tario College of Pharmacy, and John
A. Walker passed in Latin which
completes hie junior matriculation.
The excellent record of our High
School for 1011 is most encouraging
and ads to its already brilliant
record,
Three ingenious Machines.
Mr. E. litcOloy met a number of
members of the Board of Trade on
Thursday evening of last week, and
exhibited models of three machines
which he is having patented, One is
an ensilage eater and loader, the
second a porn cutter and shocker, and
the third a manure loader and spread-
er, They are certainly ingeniously
ceyatrived models, and appear capable
Of doing the work espeeted of them,
Mr. McCloy has Spent a lot of tune
and money so far on the work, and
plans to have machines made and
tested, Should they prove capable of
doing the work that the inventor
claims+, there will be no difficulty
securing capital to form a cotripany to
manufacture the machines right here
in Wingham Another meeting will

beheld on Friday evening to further
consider the projalet. All interested
ere invited to attend and ago thea
models and drewtnge. We hope to

Injured By Pail. ra'
One day last week, Mr. Thos. Wil-
son of Shuter street met with an ac-
cident that has laid him aside for a
time at least, He was out fishing, of
which he is very fond, and fell over
some loge, breaking one rib. As Mr.
Wilson is advanced in years, and not
very strong, the accident has the more
effect upon what was once a rugged
consti tution.
From The West.
A strong Liberal supporter was in
Wingham this week from the West,
and he reports in substance thus :—
Two months ago it looked like a
Liberal sweep in the West, Not so
to -day. Mr. Borden's tour changed
the political outlook, and a complete
turnover would not surprise many
in touch with the canipaign. The
American settlers, in very many
cases, are strongly opposed to the
pact, and the situation is becoming
decidedly interesting.
About Dr. Chisholm.
Referring to the retirement of Dr.
Chisholm from East f.uron political
arena, the Seaforth Expositor says :—
"He was a strong and popular candi-
date, while his genial manner and
kindly disposition secured him the
friendship and esteem of members on
both sides of the House. His old as-
sociates in Parliament, at least those
of them who may be returned, will
miss his genial smile and kindly greet-
ing, but all will unite with The Ex-
positor in wishing the doctor many
days, good health and much happiness
in his retirement after a long, active
and useful life."
Matrimonial Event.
Oa Wednesday of this week, at
high noon, wedding bells rang merri-
ly at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alex.
McEwen, Morris,
when their daugh-
ter Annie, was united In marriage to
Wilfred Fryfogle, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Dan, Fryfogle of Wingham. The
marriage ceremony was performed
by Rev. W. J. West in the presence
of the immediate relatives of the
contractingparties, ties
p . The young peo-
ple are both well and favorably
known and their many friends extend
hearty congratulations. After a wed-
ding trip to Detroit and other points,
they will take up residence in
Wingham.
