(From The Canadian Courier.) For a year or more it has been known that a reciprootty treaty was possible, and yet some of the interests affeoted are now Drying out that they bad no warning. Lest summer there appeared on this page a warning to the Canadian manufacturers that the oonntry wee fast moving towards free -trade. All the thanks the writer got was an insinuation that the Canadian Ooarter was complaining bemuse it didn't get enough advertising patronage. Farther warnings were given, bat the maaniao. Carers and others interested in maintain- ing the status quo refused to listen to any person. The duties on German im- ports were rednoed. The duties on French goods were rednoed. The duties on certain goods Doming in from the United States were reduced. A reolpro- city discussion was arranged for by the offioiala of Canada and the United States, Were not these warnings sufficient? Even now, the manufacturers see no great danger in sight. They know that the salt industry is hard Mt, that the meat•paoking industry is shuddering, that the implement manufacturers must face reduced duties, and that other in- dustries are to be subject to keener com- petition. Only the United States. Senate blocks the way -and thin blookade wilt be raised before the year ends. Then the question arises "What next?" What will follow the "Jim Hill Treaty,". as the Toronto News desoribes it? Oan any broad-minded man look over this situation with a keen, open mind, and not come to the conclusion that Canada Is slowly passing from the list of protectionist countries? We are not arguing against protection, or in favour, but simply trying to face the facts squarely. We are simply repeating oar warnin that the advocatesof free Rs e trade are doing broader and more effeo• tive work than the advocates of proteo- ti in Ii Canada moves towards free trade as fast in the next five yeara as it has in the past five years, there will be a tariff for -revenue -only instead of a tariff with proteottve features.

The lobbyist at Ottawa is not alto• gether a glorious, figure a000rding to the desoripti Ina of hie sort whioh are con- tained in the leading Artiole in Mace Lean's 41.,gezine, After giving a num- bar of alr`ries tonohing the method of operation eersued by these mon, Mr, T. A. Pete -•.n, the author, oonolgdee by saying t.at the majority of the members of the lions3 cannot be toaohed by the lobbyist Bat the trouble with them, he insists, is that they are too loyal to their friends and to the party, Thie loyalty often leads them into error. You may think that the inference is that franchisee should not be granted, that public ownership is the great deed• eratum, that 'vested rights' is tommy rot, and the capitalist a thief. It may have been inferred that thefavors grant- ed to political heelers by the Party were extraordinary favors and that what we have described applies only to the Lib- eral Party. But these impressions would be wrong arid are not intended. The oonoeesions whichthe lobbyist gets are the prioe whioh we, the people, pay for bis exploiting new parts of the. country or new things. Without this exploitation we would suffer. The only question is whether this system we have copied from the Americans should not be replaced by the English system of controlling lobbying; whether we should not maintain a uniform control over all enfranchised companies much as railway and power corporations. The favors whioh the government may show to the lobbying henchman. are not always ex• traordinary and are nndonbtedly Subject to the sinoere aoneideratian of the gov eminent head. Bat member, and Mini- sters cannot always be vigilant enough to escape the wiles of the favor -seeker. Why Do Children Like ZAM-BUK?. A Chat With Mothers. "Whenever my children have any sore places. opts. or akin troablee, they ask for Zam•Buk. They can always depend upon it doing what to needed." So says Mrs. A. Aloe, of 170 Ohatham Street, Montreal. A missionary, writing from the West Coast of Afrloa, lays: •'One boy who was treated for a bad ogee of alder, name back reoently and said, 'I like beet that green medicine. The 'green medicine' was Zam Buk." Now why should children, all the world over, show a marked preferenoe for Zam-Buk? Ohildren like Zam-Bak ecauee, as soon as applied to a barn a out, or a sore, i tato s thepain and den gradual- ly, P 8 l but 1 n se it hen a soon as the y, y, pain of a wound o r e is relieved a child can8 o on with i la and leave play Z.tm Bak to finish oB'the healing. Mothers might look a little more deep- ly into the action of Zam•Buk. First, it is bighly antiseptic. As soon as applied it stops all danger of festering, blood- poisoning and inflammation. Second, it is soothing It cools the wound or sore; allays the irritation: stops the pain and smarting. Then, thirdly, it stimu- lates the cells, beneath the injured part, to healthy notion, and canes the speedy oreation of new, healthy tisane. Just try Zam Bak for outs, or borne, or cold sores, or eczema, ulcer', rashes, bad leg, piles, varicose ulcers, or any inflamed or diseased condition of the akin. Its effect will highly satisfy you.

Corn and Tobacco. From the Canadian Century, I1 will be remembered that at one time quite an extensive area of Benth- western Ontario was devoted to growing oorn. The duty onporn ooming into Oanada from the United States was re- moved and the Canadian market was immediately so fi3oded with importa- tions of corn from the United States that corn growing had to be almost oom- pletely abandoned by Canadian Farmers. About the kerne time additional proleo. tion was given to Canadian toba000 growers, and the result was that toba000 Drops took the plane of corn er a in that part of Ontario formerly mot noted for its corn. / What is The Matter With Maine. The farmers of he State of Maine have all the advauta s that reciprocity oonld bring the to Maritime Provinces of Canada and none of the disadvan- tages. They have free a000ee to the mach•talked•of "market of ninety mil- lions," and cannot be shut out of it sud- denly by a vote of Congress, as Canadian farmers might be at any time ander the Reoiprooity Agreement. They are near- er to the markets of Boston and New York than any part of the Maritime Provinces, and yet the farmers of Maine are no more prosperous than those of New Brunswick, Nova Bootie and Prince Edward Island. They have no dreams about the value of the "market of ninety million people." They know that the oostof railway haul shuts them off from most of the markets' of the United State, although there le no tariff to keep them out. The ;percentage of inorease in population Is lees in (Laine than in the Maritime Provinoee. There are said. to be many thousands of sores of abandoned farms in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. Many of these farms were coon ted for genera - lions, but the young people mved to the pities or to the Western States and the old folks died. The Price of Hogs. Canadian farmers may as well make The Happy Housewife. The house -wife sang as she done her ohores, and the music floated around out -doors. Her voice was far from the Melba oleos; it would drill a hole in a pane of glare; the words were throe and the tune worse, and she shrieked at the end of every verse. The judge was pausing along that way, as he rode to mart on his knee•sprang bay, and he shook his head and he heaved. a sigh, and wiped a tear from his good left eye. "When a wife singe as she works," he laid, "then a blessing rest'. on her faith- ful heed; for husband'e kind and her children good, and peace illumines her neighborhood. For wives don't hinge it their hearse are sore, itrSWIM stands w ds in the oottage door." Then the jurist thought of hie dwelling grand, with pomp and richer on every hand; of the jaded Weinen who langaished there, and tilted with grumblingi the perfumed air, They did no work Ind they sang g o n' longe, but wearied bine Ont With their eooial Wrangel; and the judge indulged in Another .

Mom, up their minds to give up the business of raising hoge if the Reoiprooity Agree- ment le adopted. The average prioe of hogs in Chicago and Montreal for the five years ending December 31, 1910, was as follows: ____ Year Ohioago Montreal 1906. $6.20 $7 77 1907 „ 6.10 7 48 1908.. ... . 5.70 7.10 1909 „ ,' 7.86 8 64 1910...... 8.90; 9.60 In October, 1907, live bogs sold in Ohioago as 1ow'as 23 80 per emit , against $6.65 per owt. ,at the same tints in Mon- treal. Daring the same period prioe! of hogs have averaged lower in Buffalo than io Toronto. Occasionally the price goes higher in Buffalo, but commonly it is lower. The farmer of the Southwestern States has a longer season than the Oanadian farmer. He not onlyhas oheep o eep corn, but he is able to grow several Drops of alfalfa, and this enables him to prodnoe hogs very cheaply. The Canadian packing houses expect to be orowded oat of business by the importations of hog prodaots from the big Cbioago packing houses, so that the Canadian bog raiser wilt have no home market.• There Is No Winter There. In the severe Canadian sense there ie no winter in Australia, NewZsaland and the Argentina Republio. Cattle can live outdoors throughout the year, sothe far - mere of those countries do not have the expense of winter shelter and winter feeding. They are consequently able to produce butter, cheese, ego and meats much more cheaply than Oanadian far - mere can. No part of New Zealand is far from the ocean, and while Australia has a vast interior, the (armlet Australia are all near the sea coast, so that the railway haul to ocean ports is not great. In spite of the fact that theyare ver much farther from the Britsh market than Canada is, immense, gaantitiee of food from those oountriee are sold in the United Kingdom, Now the Canadian market is to be freely opened to them as a result of the Reoiprooity Compact, and we get nothing in return.

The orchard hat always 'ween well looked after and is now in fine bearing condition. Some idea of its value may be learned from the foot that it has now beenrented by au English Syndioate for a seven or ten year term at an annual' rental of $800.
