The Wingham Advance, 1911-09-07, Page 140111 TEAR, NO. 2, The Wingham Advance. A Comparison of Markets. THE HOME MARKET. (From Toronto Globe of August 28'h, 1911) Higher prices have been eetab- lished in every market that draws supplies from the farms of Ontario, In Toronto, LIVE ROOS CROS- SED THE $8 MARK for the first time since last October, and tbe trend of prices throughout the Province seems to be taking its cue from the local exchange. BA- CON WAS FURTHER ADVAN- CED BY TWO SHILLINGS PER HUNDREDWEIGHT IN LIVER- POOL ON SATURDAY. THE 90 MILLION MARKET .,_._.,. (From Chicago Record -Herald of Aug, 28, 1911 ) In hogs, k was an UNEVEN' AND SLOW MARKET from start to finish, and ABOUT 4,000 REMAINED UNSOLD, some of them arriving on late trains, The average price was le lower at $7.31, Shippers secured around 2,500, while speculators OPERA- TED SPARINGLY. Top light and 242 lb, bogs reached $7.75, most light were obtained below $7.70 and bulk of butchers cleared around 57.50. What better proof can the farmers of East Huron have, that the "90 million market" 'is a delusion.' Above are prices in Toronto and Chicago on the same day. In the home market the price was higher and buying brisk. In the "90 million market," prices were lower and the market was "slow from start to finish," and buyers "operated sparingly." "Four thousand hogs remained unsold." Our readers will note the Canadian market given is from the Toronto Globe. SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS. -"Step into my parlor," says the American spider to the Canadian fly. • r * -The crumbs from Uncle Sam's table would be Canada's share of the cheap food, M • • -A country that needs a larger market is no place to try and sell the same kind of goods in. • • • ---If the American trusts are too big for Uncle Sam to deal with, what chance would Canada have against them? • • • --Depend on it, in a long haul with Uncle Sam, Canada will get the short end of the doubletree and the heavy end of the load. • • • -Liberal papers agree that Recipro- city is a very "grave" question. Yes, we expect it will be the grave of a good many Liberal candidates. • * -Those who expect the Canadian farmer to swallow the higher prices, cheaper living gag, have not a very high opinion of their mental capa- city. • • • • -If the Government is sustained Reciprocity will be put into force. If the Americans keep faith with Cana- da, it will be for the first time in their long history. • • • -Hon. G. W. Ross said when ad- dressing the Canadian Club :- "In my judgment the commerce Canada should never be placed at the mercy of the United States or of any other competing na- tion." • • • --How are Canadian farmers to ob- tain a profitable market for their pro- ducts in the United:.Stetes, when that country annually exports between four and five hundred million dollars' worth of foodstuffs ? • • • -An advertisement for 12 laborers ib New York city brought 500 appli- cants. There was a crush and one half-starved man was badly hurt. Pass the reciprocity pact, and pave the way for such conditions in Ca- nada. • • • --It took Uncle Sam a long time to find out that Canada is not "a frozen region on the north of the United ▪ States." Slowly it dawned on him that Canada was really valuable in natural resources.Now w et.. he ant `t , and cries-"GiVe me that." * • * .The value of dutiable articles on which the United States propose to reduce duties is $7,521,000. The value of the same articles on which Canada proposes $20,842,- ro osea to reduce duties le 000. Will some ardent reciprocity advocate please point out just where Canada Is going to have such a tre- mendous advantage in this instance ? `e *•* -Eton. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is re. garded as the leader of a great politi- cal party, and properly so. We quote two of his appeals to the electorate:» - 1 -What is the use of spending Cana- da's millions to build transcontinental railways, and then passing a recipro- city pact, that will render these rail- ways non-paying properties. They were built to accommodate east and west traffic. Reciprocity will cut Ca- nada in two, divert the trade from east and west, to southern outlets, and render these costly tranlcontin- ental roads practically useless for the purpose for which they were built. • ** -Dan. McGillicuddy, formerly edi- tor of the Goderich Signal, is authori- ty for the existence of what he calls a "Liberal slush fund" to aid the Liber- als in winning this election, Being a life-long worker in the party, Dan. ought to know whereof he speaks. The Montreal Star offers a reward of $25,000 for information that will lead to the tracing of this "slush fund" to its source -the information to be laid before six judges of the Courts, three Liberals, three Conservatives. • • „ -Here is the opinion of the New York American in a few pointed words :-- "Reciprocity will cut the Do- minion into two parts. The sec- tion east of Lake Superior will merge with the New England and Eastern States, while the great Western agelcultural section will become part of the Western States." "Cut in two parts." Of course, but don't you squeal.. Hush 1 -no objec- tion, or you will be one of those whose crime is that of "waving the flag." "rolloty my white plumes, "Bet Your money on the cid cock." It Would be difficult to devise any thing more Billy or void of real mean- ing In a contest where the future prosperity of Canada ie involved. --alHu reds nedof fsat o d ries in the 'Unit- ed States. are clotted, owing to the de- preeeion existing there.

Clemens (Mich.) Monitor speaks right out in the following para- graph on Reciprocity :- • "The outcome of the whole busi- ness if reciprocity is ratified by the Canadians -will be ANNEX- ATioN. The friends and foes of reciprocity in the United States would send up a unanimous shout of welcome if the whole of Cana- da came right into the Union. That is where it belongs, and that is where it is likely to be." Of course some Canadians will not like the fate predicted by the Monitor, but then you know they must not kick, or they will be charged with the terrible offence of •'waving the flag." •..• -When Ontario fruit growers saw that Reciprocity would ruin their bus- inese, they sent an immense deputa- tion to interview the Government. Sir Wilfrid Laurier politely said -"It it too late." In other words -Canada's right to redress such a grievance and arrange her own tariff ff has been bar- tered away, Washington politicians have something to say in that matter now. The Advance asks East Huron electors if they approve of such a con- dition of affairs, that is "too late" to remedy a grievance ; We must ask the United States before we can do it. A vote for Mr. Bowma nill w bey our protest against Canada being locked up tight and the key given to Preen dent Taft. That is what it really a- mounts to, according to Sir Wilfrid's "It Is too late." • * • -An able writer lit Pearson's, an American magazine, has recently shown hoes favorable Reoiproeity would be to the American Trusts, and mentions the lumber Trust,. the Flour Trust, the Ptah Trust, paid the xkfeat Trust. After discussing the advan- tages to be gained by these big con- cerne, he oloaes the artlble with this statement "Canada will never be able to be* our rt btrusts for the h e American Market, while the Canadian mare ket, as it develope, .s will bewotne ins creasingly'Valueble to the tern can treats,' Exactly 1 Just as We figure it out!

A huge silo on the farm of Percy Ferguson, Proof Line road, was blown down and scattered over the fields, but a barn near which it was built suffered only the loss of the roof. A large building on the premises of Thomas Thomson, 15th con., London township, Wad blown Over. The orchard of John R. Hardy, near Btrr; is wiped out, and the buildings are damaged. At Ciandeboye, the barn of Mr. Covent! was completely destroyed, parts being carried for a considerable dis- tance on to the Grand Trunk tracks, One side of the barn of P. Hodgins was blown off, and has not been located yet. Pensee and wlnddtille were oven turned, and may orchards were also demolished. About two miles of telegraph wires and poles between Olendeboye and Denfield are a com- plete wreck, Might Have Been. Worse. On Thursday last Mr, and Mrs, Sohn 11cyfogle and children drove out to Mts. VI's father's, Mr. Arbuckle, The little ones went out with their grand- father to the barn, when the little girl,. Grace, about two years of age, fell down the etairway, and in some way came in contact with the sharp points of a pitchfork. One of the prongs entered her forehead some distance causing a severe wound, and at first it was feared the sight of one eye would be injured, by a severe bruise she re- ceived. Some stitches were required and a scar may remain for some time, but at present Grace is making favorable recovery, It is thought that the eye will be fully restored, but the results of the accident might have been much worse titan they were, At A Ripe Age. This week, we have to report the death of another of Wingham's re- spected citizens, Mr. David Robertson, who passed away on Sunday morning last. Deceased was born in Perth- shire, Scotland, in 1823, He immi- grated to Canada in 1853, and settled on a farm near Varna, township of Stanley, where he raised a family of ten children, six of whom survive him. He retired from farming ten years ago and moved to Wingham, where he lived in quiet retirement. In religion he was a Presbyterian, and in political matters a Reformer. He lived the life of a quiet, peaceable citi- zen and consistent Christian, and reached the ripe old age of eighty- seven. His remains were interred in Wingham cemetery on Wednesday, Wingham Fall Pair. Every person should read the advt.. of Wingham Fall Fair in this issue.

The Brussels ,Post gives the follow- ing :-"The family of Wm. and Mrs. Armstrong, whose 100 acre farm adjoins Brussels on the East, has a unique and nob easily equalled record along scolarship lines. Out of a family of 2 daughters and 5 sons, the oldest of whom is only 25 years of age, 0 have already obtained 2ad Class Teachers' certificates (two of them this summer) and the youngest son, is heading the same way, • having passed the En- trance. Four of the boys also passed the Matriculation examinations. It is certainly a creditable history and shows what steady purpose and close application backed up by good level heads may do. Miss Jean and Tom will likely attend the Normal School next term at Stratford, and Harold will pursue bis studies for a lst class certiticate at a Collegiate.
