FORMER CANADIAN WRITES.
A letter comes from a Canadian
who, after achieving considerable
distinction in Canada, went to New
England a few years ago, where he
has been as successful as he was in his
own country.
While in Canada he was an active
and aggressive Liberal, and there is
no reason to think that he experienc-
ed any change of view until Mr. Field-
ing announced the reciprocity agree-
ment with Washington. Ile now
writes ;—
1 "What in the world are Cantedtans
thinking about in effecting terms of
1 reciprocity with this country ? It is
1 certain to work disastrously for Cana-
da. It makes my blood boil to hear
the things about it here. "Annex Ca-
nada" spells what is in the minds of
these people. Of course, that is in
any event unlikely, perhaps impossi-
ble, but, without a doubt, trouble is
eure to eventuate—probably, with our
changing Government—generally bad
—war, sooner or later."
"Does Canada want the curse of
monopolies such as we have here ?
They now seek new fields and larger
territory, They have "cornered"
everything in sight here. Prices will
not be lower, neither here nor in Ca-
nada."
"In a little while Canadians will
have the cheerful duty of paying half
as much again as they are now paying
for their products, Who are back of
this move? The trusts. Wby? Be-
cause of those wholesome laws enact-
ed in recent years concerning the ex-
portation of raw products."
"The exploitation of Canadian trade
by these trusts is the end sought. Ca-
nada's wisdom is to keep out the
trusts. The old .war cry, "What we
have we hold," should resound from
Sydney to Victoria before it is too
late, before Canada's self-respect is
lost, and her heritage bartered."

CANADA'S I IORSB MARKET.
(Clinton News -Record)
Though the past- season has not
been an unduly brisk one, over $40,-
000 has been paid out in Clinton for
horses at prices previously un-
heard of in the history of this farm
horse trade in this country.
We here give a list of a few of the
purchases made and the prices paid :—
Jas, Hamilton, 5 horses for which he
received $1070. One of them was a
colt rising three years for which he
was paid $300; Ben; Churchill, c ne
team at $720, and another pair at $740,
a total of 51,400 for heavy horses, that
is an average of 5305 ; Robt. Marshall,
one, 5280; Thos. Moire, one, 52855;
John Shanahan, two, 5700; W.
Young, one, $350 ; H. Young, one,
5315 ; T. Elliott, two, 5530 ; C. Mc-
Gregor, four, $1300 ; L. Anderson, one,
5390; T. Mason, one, 5285 ; J, Cornish,
two, 5530 ; J. Scott, for four, close to
51,400.
These are bigger prices than our
farmers a few years ago thought
possible and if they can maintain them
at this level they will be well satisfied,
but in order to do so it will be neces-
sary to preserve the Canadian market
for the Canadian horse. All the
horses in the above small list of sales
were, with the exception of two,
bought for the western provinces.
Brussels.
The Stretton town property was of-
fered for sale last Saturday afternoon
to close up the estate, but was not
sold. 'It is well situated and may be
disposed of by private sale.
At the speeding event at Toronto
exhibition' on Tuesday Lesa Vale,
owned by W. F. Scott, Ottawa, and
driven by P. Scott, Brussels, took the
2 28 trot in straight heats, tiree`being
2 24i, 2 221 and 2.211. There were 5 in
the event.
Harry B, Moore of town, who
taught last year at Moncrieff, and
who purposed continuing his edu-
cational course at a Collegiate, has ac-
cepted a position as teacher at Moles-
worth at a salary of 5510. Frank
Scott will teach near Auburn ; salary,
5500.
Last week W. W. Hurls of Brussels
Creamery shipped 325 boxes of choice
butter to London at 24e per pound.
Geo. Powell. of Blyth was the buyer.
This week 100 boxes of pound prints
were sold to a Toronto dealer at 25c
per pound. Brussels factory can com-
pete with any similar institution in
Westerly Canada. The average make,
even at this season, will run over a
ton of butter per day. Patrons ate
well pleased.

THE HOME.. MARKET
The Loss of Reciprocity In 1866 Roe
suited in the Creation of Profitable
industries for Canada
By ,TORN V. !Oiling.
It is true that both political parties
in Canada formerly cleared a 'measure
of Reciprocity with tie United States.
But that was when trade generally
was shall and depressed, and before
proof had been given that, on the nue
of antagonism to Canadian prosperity,
laid down by the United States, Can-
ada could flourish as an exporter of;
farm and forest products and be essen-
tially independent of the United
States,
There was a Reciprocity Treaty be-
tween the two countries from 1854 to
1866, which advanced the price of Can-
adian farm produce. But the Crimean
War in the first half and the United
States Civil War in the second half
of the Reciprocity period raised pricea
everywhere. The Canadian farmer
came to depend upon the 'Called States
for his market.
He received a severe lesson when
Reciprocity was withdrawn But, in-
stead of being ruined, he found a more
stable market in Great Britain, which
has persisted to this day, Instead of
sending his crops across the border
he fed them on the farm, retained and
improved the fertility of the soil, and
by selling dairy produce and cattle
became more permanently prosperous
than was possible under a delusively
Profitable market across the line.
In time the National Policy expand-
ed the farmer's home market. The
gold he received for his produce, in-
stead of going out of the country to
purchase goods, was kept in Canada
for those who had begun to make
things that formerly had been im-
ported, and who bought things of him
that otherwise would have gone
abroad. This meant better prices for
the producer, as it also meant greater
earning and spending power in the
manufacturing towns.
This change was slow, as men count
time; but swift in the reckoning of
nations. 1t was accompanied by a
conspicuous disadvantage—young Can-
adians left Canada by the thousands
for the United States, where Canada
•was. regarded as a poor relation.
POINTS ABOUT THE DEAL
TWO
MOM
OLD CONDITIONS
HAVE PASSED
The Four Reasons Which Produced
Continentalists Have Died Nat-
ural Deaths
By JOHN V. BORNE. ,
The drain of population from. Can-
ada to the United States was the fun-
damental reason for such organiza-
tions as the Continental Assocration,
of which the late Goldwin Smith was
',resident. Mr. Smith, in a letter ac-
cepting the presidency, gave four rea-
sons for the propaganda of the Asso-
ciation: ---
1: The population was standing still.
2. The backward condition of the
manufacturing industries and the in-
feriority of their production.
3. Tiler condition of agriculture, our
farmers barely making a living, while
tenant farmers were considered clever
to make ends even meet.
4. The exodus of young Canadian
manhood to the United Stated.
There were two factors in Canadian
development which the Continental-
ists of that day did not appreciate, and
which inevitably produced a third,
a to
considerable le h r
m
which wrought c
the country.
In the first place the Continentallsts
did not see that the exodus to the
United States would not continue in-
defrnitply, because the unoccupied
lands of the Republic would fill up,
and Canada's turn would come. In
the second place they did not really
believe that Canada was a country of
practically unlimited producing power.
These two things together inevita-P
bly prevented the Continentalists
from having a great vision of the fu-
ture of Canada. They thought she
would always be commercially depend-
ent on the United States. They saw
no future in which Canada could be
the lynch -phi of an Empire more spa-
cious and more splendid than the
United States could ever be. They
said "Go to, let -us make the most of
our neighbor." They did not know
how to say "Go to, let us make the
most of ourselves."

became known to the people of Eu-
rope there wee a hankering after Re-
ciprocity. In 1891 tek general election
was fought on the question, and the
advanced Rectprocitarians were beat-
en. The issue was destined to keep
sway from the ballot -hoe far more
than twenty year's.
The Liberal party, in pursuance of a
platform written in 1893, asked Wash-
ington for Reciprocity in 1897, and
was repelled. The immigration tide
then began to flow, and is flowing
OM. At that very time the instinct
which had turned aside from the Re-
ciprocity advocated in 1891 re -asserted
itself,, -this time in the unfamiliar
guise of a Liberal Government.—and in
1898 the offer of Reciprocity which
had stood for many years on the Can-
adian Statute Book was repealed, The
repeal was happily endorsed at the
Imperial Conference in London by Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, who said:
"There was a time when we were
wanting reciprocity with, the United
States, but our efforts were put aside,
We have said good-bye to that trade
and we now put all our hopes upon the
British trade,"

MONEY IN THE BANKS
The starting of industries, the build-
ing 61 a railway across an empty con-
tinent, left Canada in a condition of
strain. The lack of faith, of which the
Continental cry was a model expres-
sten, meant a lack of works. Few of
the millions of people who desired to
forsake the Old World learned of Can
ada. The population continued sta-
tionary. Progress' was painfully Blow.
But, in due time, the movement of
people into Canada began •It was pre-
sently accompanied by a movement of
capital, until, at last, everybody saw
that the hour of Canada had come.
The final proof of it was vouchsafed
when the exodus from Canada to the
United States was more than balanced
be an exodus front the United States
to Canada.

And Great Increases In Trade Have

. j, }a• 137 JOHN V. DO11Ny.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier's repudiations of
Reciprocity with the United States be-'
ginning in 1898 and continuing until'
1907, was endorsed by Liberals and)
Conservatives alike. The country was'
behind him. The future was before
him.
Remember the difference between]
the Canada of that day and the Can..:
ada which Sir Wilfrid vainly thinksi
has turned back, with hungry eyes to:
the policy he so patriotically aban-
doned.
At the time of the joyful abandon'
went of the idea that the United'
States could be the main prop and stay!
of Canadian prosperity the Canadian
people had $236,161,062 in the banks:
To -day they have $925,000,000 in the;
banks. Then their trade beyond their)
own borders was $304,475,736 -a year.
Now it is $649,000,000.
Then the flow of British capital was•
so small that no returns were avail -1
able. Last year $185,000,000 came;
from Britain to Canada, exclusive of
Individual amounts for investments,
and the money brought by 112,000,
people who came from' Britain to'
Brighter Britain.
The magnificent point of this situa-
tion is that the turning away from the
United States (which for thirty years
had treated Canada as a commercial
factor with good-natured contempt),
and the new-found belief that Canada
could march along the road to nation-
hood without regard to, the business
goodwill of. the United States; were
followed by "an expansion of business.
that the firmest believer in her destiny
would not have dared to prophesy in
the days when Reciprocity was an.
Article of Faith and a veritable Pro-
mise of Hope to so many people.

RECEIVES MORE
Prices For Which He Sells Have in-

Cost of What He Buys
By JOHN V. BORNE.
"The wise man often changes his
mind; the fool never"—a way of say-,
ing that the political wisdom of to -day
is the political foolishness of tomor-
row. Nothing is more valuable than.
the teachings of history. Nothing is+
more futile than piling up proofs that
many years experience have changed;
the point of view of a man or a partyl
of men.
It is nothing to show that Sir John'
Macdonald was serious or merely as-
tutu in advocating Reciprocity, forty,
thirty, twenty years ago. He is not!
with us now. We have conditions to
which his utterahces do not apply.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier's position is (life
ferent, He was an advocate of Reci-
procity. On his experience he re-
nounced It The commercial condi-;
tions which Caused him to renounce it,
—the prosperity of Canada without'
it—have become greatly accentuated
in every particular.
The farmer particularly has flour-.
ished. The Dominion Government rely
ports show that in 1909 prices received)
by the farmer had risen oven those of
the ten years before 1899, like this:—.
Grain and fodder, including thirteen.
selected standard commodities, 49.9 per
cent.
Cattle and cattle products, hogs and'
hog products, sheep and sheep pro-
ducts, fowl and tdrkeys, 48.6 per cent. •
Dairy products, 33 per cent.
And that the price of goods the
farmer has to buy have not risen to,
an equal extent, as this list Shows:—
Woollen goods 23.3 per cent.
Cotton goods 26
!loots and shoes . 25 "
Metals and implements 2.4 " '
Imported goods --decrease 4 "
The staple tines, which represent
over 90 per cent. of the farmer's ex-
penditure
xpenditure have only increased 14.3 per
cent., while the goods he sells have in-
creased 35.7 per cent.
Agriculture is the basin industry of
Canada. If its prosperity grows in
greater ratio than that of other indus-
tries, it is in the doubly happy posi-
trolt of flourishing itself and ambling
others to flourish.
This has happened with a home
market that is nothing like ase big as it
will be. Canada hoe only really be-

CANADA'S I IORSB MARKET.
(Clinton News -Record)
Though the past- season has not
been an unduly brisk one, over $40,-
000 has been paid out in Clinton for
horses at prices previously un-
heard of in the history of this farm
horse trade in this country.
We here give a list of a few of the
purchases made and the prices paid :—
Jas, Hamilton, 5 horses for which he
received $1070. One of them was a
colt rising three years for which he
was paid $300; Ben; Churchill, c ne
team at $720, and another pair at $740,
a total of 51,400 for heavy horses, that
is an average of 5305 ; Robt. Marshall,
one, 5280; Thos. Moire, one, 52855;
John Shanahan, two, 5700; W.
Young, one, $350 ; H. Young, one,
5315 ; T. Elliott, two, 5530 ; C. Mc-
Gregor, four, $1300 ; L. Anderson, one,
5390; T. Mason, one, 5285 ; J, Cornish,
two, 5530 ; J. Scott, for four, close to
51,400.
These are bigger prices than our
farmers a few years ago thought
possible and if they can maintain them
at this level they will be well satisfied,
but in order to do so it will be neces-
sary to preserve the Canadian market
for the Canadian horse. All the
horses in the above small list of sales
were, with the exception of two,
bought for the western provinces.
Brussels.
The Stretton town property was of-
fered for sale last Saturday afternoon
to close up the estate, but was not
sold. 'It is well situated and may be
disposed of by private sale.
At the speeding event at Toronto
exhibition' on Tuesday Lesa Vale,
owned by W. F. Scott, Ottawa, and
driven by P. Scott, Brussels, took the
2 28 trot in straight heats, tiree`being
2 24i, 2 221 and 2.211. There were 5 in
the event.
Harry B, Moore of town, who
taught last year at Moncrieff, and
who purposed continuing his edu-
cational course at a Collegiate, has ac-
cepted a position as teacher at Moles-
worth at a salary of 5510. Frank
Scott will teach near Auburn ; salary,
5500.
Last week W. W. Hurls of Brussels
Creamery shipped 325 boxes of choice
butter to London at 24e per pound.
Geo. Powell. of Blyth was the buyer.
This week 100 boxes of pound prints
were sold to a Toronto dealer at 25c
per pound. Brussels factory can com-
pete with any similar institution in
Westerly Canada. The average make,
even at this season, will run over a
ton of butter per day. Patrons ate
well pleased.

THE HOME.. MARKET
The Loss of Reciprocity In 1866 Roe
suited in the Creation of Profitable
industries for Canada
By ,TORN V. !Oiling.
It is true that both political parties
in Canada formerly cleared a 'measure
of Reciprocity with tie United States.
But that was when trade generally
was shall and depressed, and before
proof had been given that, on the nue
of antagonism to Canadian prosperity,
laid down by the United States, Can-
ada could flourish as an exporter of;
farm and forest products and be essen-
tially independent of the United
States,
There was a Reciprocity Treaty be-
tween the two countries from 1854 to
1866, which advanced the price of Can-
adian farm produce. But the Crimean
War in the first half and the United
States Civil War in the second half
of the Reciprocity period raised pricea
everywhere. The Canadian farmer
came to depend upon the 'Called States
for his market.
He received a severe lesson when
Reciprocity was withdrawn But, in-
stead of being ruined, he found a more
stable market in Great Britain, which
has persisted to this day, Instead of
sending his crops across the border
he fed them on the farm, retained and
improved the fertility of the soil, and
by selling dairy produce and cattle
became more permanently prosperous
than was possible under a delusively
Profitable market across the line.
In time the National Policy expand-
ed the farmer's home market. The
gold he received for his produce, in-
stead of going out of the country to
purchase goods, was kept in Canada
for those who had begun to make
things that formerly had been im-
ported, and who bought things of him
that otherwise would have gone
abroad. This meant better prices for
the producer, as it also meant greater
earning and spending power in the
manufacturing towns.
This change was slow, as men count
time; but swift in the reckoning of
nations. 1t was accompanied by a
conspicuous disadvantage—young Can-
adians left Canada by the thousands
for the United States, where Canada
•was. regarded as a poor relation.

TWO
MOM
OLD CONDITIONS
HAVE PASSED
The Four Reasons Which Produced
Continentalists Have Died Nat-
ural Deaths
By JOHN V. BORNE. ,
The drain of population from. Can-
ada to the United States was the fun-
damental reason for such organiza-
tions as the Continental Assocration,
of which the late Goldwin Smith was
',resident. Mr. Smith, in a letter ac-
cepting the presidency, gave four rea-
sons for the propaganda of the Asso-
ciation: ---
1: The population was standing still.
2. The backward condition of the
manufacturing industries and the in-
feriority of their production.
3. Tiler condition of agriculture, our
farmers barely making a living, while
tenant farmers were considered clever
to make ends even meet.
4. The exodus of young Canadian
manhood to the United Stated.
There were two factors in Canadian
development which the Continental-
ists of that day did not appreciate, and
which inevitably produced a third,
a to
considerable le h r
m
which wrought c
the country.
In the first place the Continentallsts
did not see that the exodus to the
United States would not continue in-
defrnitply, because the unoccupied
lands of the Republic would fill up,
and Canada's turn would come. In
the second place they did not really
believe that Canada was a country of
practically unlimited producing power.
These two things together inevita-P
bly prevented the Continentalists
from having a great vision of the fu-
ture of Canada. They thought she
would always be commercially depend-
ent on the United States. They saw
no future in which Canada could be
the lynch -phi of an Empire more spa-
cious and more splendid than the
United States could ever be. They
said "Go to, let -us make the most of
our neighbor." They did not know
how to say "Go to, let us make the
most of ourselves."

became known to the people of Eu-
rope there wee a hankering after Re-
ciprocity. In 1891 tek general election
was fought on the question, and the
advanced Rectprocitarians were beat-
en. The issue was destined to keep
sway from the ballot -hoe far more
than twenty year's.
The Liberal party, in pursuance of a
platform written in 1893, asked Wash-
ington for Reciprocity in 1897, and
was repelled. The immigration tide
then began to flow, and is flowing
OM. At that very time the instinct
which had turned aside from the Re-
ciprocity advocated in 1891 re -asserted
itself,, -this time in the unfamiliar
guise of a Liberal Government.—and in
1898 the offer of Reciprocity which
had stood for many years on the Can-
adian Statute Book was repealed, The
repeal was happily endorsed at the
Imperial Conference in London by Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, who said:
"There was a time when we were
wanting reciprocity with, the United
States, but our efforts were put aside,
We have said good-bye to that trade
and we now put all our hopes upon the
British trade,"

MONEY IN THE BANKS
The starting of industries, the build-
ing 61 a railway across an empty con-
tinent, left Canada in a condition of
strain. The lack of faith, of which the
Continental cry was a model expres-
sten, meant a lack of works. Few of
the millions of people who desired to
forsake the Old World learned of Can
ada. The population continued sta-
tionary. Progress' was painfully Blow.
But, in due time, the movement of
people into Canada began •It was pre-
sently accompanied by a movement of
capital, until, at last, everybody saw
that the hour of Canada had come.
The final proof of it was vouchsafed
when the exodus from Canada to the
United States was more than balanced
be an exodus front the United States
to Canada.

And Great Increases In Trade Have
Made Canada a Brighter Britain
. j, }a• 137 JOHN V. DO11Ny.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier's repudiations of
Reciprocity with the United States be-'
ginning in 1898 and continuing until'
1907, was endorsed by Liberals and)
Conservatives alike. The country was'
behind him. The future was before
him.
Remember the difference between]
the Canada of that day and the Can..:
ada which Sir Wilfrid vainly thinksi
has turned back, with hungry eyes to:
the policy he so patriotically aban-
doned.
At the time of the joyful abandon'
went of the idea that the United'
States could be the main prop and stay!
of Canadian prosperity the Canadian
people had $236,161,062 in the banks:
To -day they have $925,000,000 in the;
banks. Then their trade beyond their)
own borders was $304,475,736 -a year.
Now it is $649,000,000.
Then the flow of British capital was•
so small that no returns were avail -1
able. Last year $185,000,000 came;
from Britain to Canada, exclusive of
Individual amounts for investments,
and the money brought by 112,000,
people who came from' Britain to'
Brighter Britain.
The magnificent point of this situa-
tion is that the turning away from the
United States (which for thirty years
had treated Canada as a commercial
factor with good-natured contempt),
and the new-found belief that Canada
could march along the road to nation-
hood without regard to, the business
goodwill of. the United States; were
followed by "an expansion of business.
that the firmest believer in her destiny
would not have dared to prophesy in
the days when Reciprocity was an.
Article of Faith and a veritable Pro-
mise of Hope to so many people.

THE FARMER
RECEIVES MORE
Prices For Which He Sells Have in-
creased More Rapidly than the
Cost of What He Buys
By JOHN V. BORNE.
"The wise man often changes his
mind; the fool never"—a way of say-,
ing that the political wisdom of to -day
is the political foolishness of tomor-
row. Nothing is more valuable than.
the teachings of history. Nothing is+
more futile than piling up proofs that
many years experience have changed;
the point of view of a man or a partyl
of men.
It is nothing to show that Sir John'
Macdonald was serious or merely as-
tutu in advocating Reciprocity, forty,
thirty, twenty years ago. He is not!
with us now. We have conditions to
which his utterahces do not apply.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier's position is (life
ferent, He was an advocate of Reci-
procity. On his experience he re-
nounced It The commercial condi-;
tions which Caused him to renounce it,
—the prosperity of Canada without'
it—have become greatly accentuated
in every particular.
The farmer particularly has flour-.
ished. The Dominion Government rely
ports show that in 1909 prices received)
by the farmer had risen oven those of
the ten years before 1899, like this:—.
Grain and fodder, including thirteen.
selected standard commodities, 49.9 per
cent.
Cattle and cattle products, hogs and'
hog products, sheep and sheep pro-
ducts, fowl and tdrkeys, 48.6 per cent. •
Dairy products, 33 per cent.
And that the price of goods the
farmer has to buy have not risen to,
an equal extent, as this list Shows:—
Woollen goods 23.3 per cent.
Cotton goods 26
!loots and shoes . 25 "
Metals and implements 2.4 " '
Imported goods --decrease 4 "
The staple tines, which represent
over 90 per cent. of the farmer's ex-
penditure
xpenditure have only increased 14.3 per
cent., while the goods he sells have in-
creased 35.7 per cent.
Agriculture is the basin industry of
Canada. If its prosperity grows in
greater ratio than that of other indus-
tries, it is in the doubly happy posi-
trolt of flourishing itself and ambling
others to flourish.
This has happened with a home
market that is nothing like ase big as it
will be. Canada hoe only really be-
gun. her manufacturing career, if she
is permitted to retain her fiscal ' in-
ctependenae.
