Hislop and larger markets, Arch Hislop is the man for East Huron. Work until every vote is polled and make it—Arch Hislop, M. P. for East Huron. Reciprocity means greater prosperty for the people of Huron county, Vote for the Liberal candidates on Septem- ber 21st. Two open doors instead of one for the products of Canadian farms. Vote for Arch Hislop and assist in the pass- ing of Reciprocity. Elections on September 21. Well, that's not such a bad time either. By that time the farmers of the west will have a couple of hundred mfllionbushels of grain in their granaries, for which they will be looking about for a good market. Reciprocity will give that market What's the answer?—Leth- bridge Herald. The customs for the Dominion for the month of July show receipts of $6,- 697,485 as compared with $5,724,714 in July of Last year, or an increase of $972,770.93. The first four months of the fiscal year show an increase in cus- toms collections of $3,305,942, as com- pared with the same period last year, the total collections being $25,917,740. The Liberals of West Huron will meet in convention at Goderieh on Wednesday of next week to select a candidate for the approaching election. It is said that either Thos. McMillian, ex -Reeve of Hullett or M. G. Cameron, of Goderich will be the candidate. South Huron Liberals wili meet in Hen - sail on the 18th when M. Y. McLean, the member for last term, will again receive the nomination. Sir Alan Aylesworth, after six years of splendid public service to Canada, first as Postmaster -General and for the past five years as Minister of Justice, is retiring from the Government, and has definitely notified the North York Liberal Association that he will not again be a candidate, Mr. Aylesworth's deafness is the cause of his desire to leave politics. It is said that Mr. Hugh Guthire, K.C., the popular mem- ber for South Wellington will be ap- pointed as Minister of Justice, The prospect of reciprocity is not frightening the Monarch Knitting Co. of St. Thomas. It is announced that they are going to erect a $l0,0o0 addition to their plant to be devoted to spinning of worsteds. The output will be 6e0,000 pounds a year, Viee•Presi- dent Orme recently gave out an inter- view stating that this addition would not be built, for fear that reciprocity i !night result in an increased British preference. It is from Great Britain that the chief competition comes.s IThe Belleville Intellkgeneer—Sir Mac- Kenzie Bowell's paper makes th kindly reference to Sir Wilfrid leau ler: "No man in Canadian public li has received snore attention at t hands of political caluminators, forty years, however, no opponent h been so base as to utter a slander whi tau Cite d his e •s pronal honor, the puri of hia private life, or the righteousne of his character," We are very proud of our plane o this continent such as we have made i the brief lifetime of Canada. But w are here and our neighbor beside u not for yesterday only or to -day or t morrow but for all the time. True t ourselves we must always be and the we can be false to none, But secure i that when our neighbor comes half w we should meet him half way, His ] admitting into his market "theproduc our people most desire to send there' is ready to go into effect, It is for u to pass our law. We should meet o. neighbor half way.—Simcoe Reformer To Mr. Borden belongs the uniqu distinction of being the first politica leader in Canada to declare agains reciprocity. In the late forties, the 'tory party of that day was so intensely in earnest in the matter that some members were prepared to go the length of declaring for annexation in order to secure the boon. In the late sixties there was no divisions of opin- ion in the striving to prevent the ab- rogation of the reciprocity of 1854. Those Conservative farmers who will vote for reciprocity on Sept. 21 will be able to plead as their justification that they areavoting for the policy of their most distinguished leader, the late Sir John A. McDonald. is re re he In as eh y t ss n n e 5, 0- 0 n n ay aw is sl ur • e t For thirty years after the Fenian raid, save for the brief period from 1873 to 1878, the Conservatives were in power continuously. Why did they not grant lands or money to the Fenian. raid veterans then when most of them were alive? What a miserable, petty political trick on the part of the Oppo- sition to demand recognition forty-five years after the raid, which they them- selves failed to give for thirty years after it, Do the Tories at Ottawa fancy that sort of thing goes down in the country? The electors of Canada are a trifle too intelligent to be caught by such fake sympathy for the defend- ers of their country.—Quebec Tele- graph. Thanks to the tactics followed by Mr. Borden and the opponents of re ciprocity, the election is forced on the country print to the carrying into effect of the redistribution bill, which should properly have followed the taking of the census. The Opposition, as has been evident all along, fear the west, in whose hands they taunt the Govern- ment with being, and by what is vairtu- ally a partial disfranchisement of the prairie Provinces, the friends of protec- tion, figure upon minimizing the solid phalanx which the will send to Ottawa in favor of reciprocity, a larger market and increased competition in transpor- tation facilities and consequent lower- ing of railway rates. Mr. Borden how- ever, may rest assured that the dis- franchisement for which he is directly responsible will only add to the solidity, even though it lessen the size, of that phalanx. —Regina Leader. Geo. E. Foster addressing a meeting of the pioneers of the empire in Eng- land said, as reported by the Canadian Gazette; "It was difficult to realize the pace at which Canada was growing. Her 10,500,000 acres, yield- ing 18 bushels to the acre, meant 190,- 000,000 bushels of wheat this year if Providence smiled. Canada herself took 70,000,000 bushels for food and seed, leaving 130,000,000 bushels for sale in the autumn of this year as food supply to any country that wanted it, the United Kingdom particularly." Mr. Foster's statement is correct, comments the Winnipeg Free Press. Canada's surplus of 130,000,000 bushels will be for sale, and all who want to buy should be welcome. But this is not what Mr. Foster says in the Cana- dian Parliament, There he holds that Canadians must not be permitted to sell their wheat to purchasers in the United States. THE WINGIIAN TIMES, AUGUST 10 19j1 United States could dictate terms for its. Continuance This amounts to saying that it is too good an agree- ment and might some day be made \verse. ---Montreal Witness, Reciprocity in natural products was never a party issue in this country, :for the reason that both parties were in favor of it, There never was an at- tempt to make it a party issue until some time after the terms of the pro- posed agreement were laid before the country, Before the terms of the agreement were made known. Conser- vative members of Parliament were proclaiming their willingness to "throw up both hands" for just such an arrange- ment. When the terms were announc- ed in the House of Commons the good news was received with apparently as much approval by Conservatives as by Liberals. Several of the Conservative newspapers hastened to signify their approval of the proposal, and for a time it looked as if the agreement would be allowed to pass without seri- ous objection. Then something hap- pened. What that something was we can guess rather than affirm as a mat- ter of history. The generally accepted explanation is that the financial backers of the Conservative party laid down the terms, and that these terms called for an obstructive opposition to the proposed agreement. Whatever the explanation may be, the well-known fact is that the Conservative leaders, in the face of much sane and sober ad- vice to the contrary, proceeded to make reciprocity a party issue in the House. —Woodstock Sentinel -Review, WELL -UNDERSTOOD LIBERAL POLICY. The Winnipeg Tribune reminds the editor of the Toronto News that .re- ciprocity with the United States has for forty years or more been an ac- cepted article of faith with both po- litical parties in Canada; and that Mr. Willison himself had probably a hand in preparing the platform laid down at the great Liberal convention of 1893, which ,formulated the appended policy with regard tothis question. That, having regard to the prosperi- ty of Canada and the United States as adjoining countries, with many mutual interests, it is desirable that there should be the most friendly relations and broad and liberal trade intercourse between them; That the interests alike of the Dom- nion and of the Empire would be ma- terially advanced by the establishing of uch relations; That the period of the old recipro- city treaty was one of marked pros- perity to the British North American olonies; That the pretext under which t Government appealed to the count n 1891 respecting negotiations for treaty with the United States was mi ending and dishonest and intended deceive the electorate; That no sincere effort has been ma y them to obtain a treaty, but the n the contrary, it is manifest that t resent Government, controlled as the re by monopolies and combines, a of desirous of securing such a treat ',That the first step toward obtainin he end in view is to place a party i ower who are sincerely desirous o romoting a treaty on terms honorabl both countries; That a• fair and liberal reciprocit eaty would develop the great nature sources of Canada, would enormous! crease the trade and commerce be ween the two countries, would tend t courage friendly relations betwee e two peoples, would remove man uses which afford. the best guarante r irritation and trouble to the govern ents of both countries, and woul romote those kindly relations betwee e Empire and the Republic whic ve in the past provoked peace and osperity; That the Liberal party is prepared enter into negotiations with a view obtaining such a treaty, including a II -considered list of manufactured titles, and we are satisfied that any aty so arranged will receive the etit of Her Majesty's Government thout whose approval no treaty can made. he News is wont to accuse the erels of playing false to the prom- s made to the country in 1893 but this particular matter it cannot fair - indulge in any such accusation, says .Brantford Expositor. A fair and Brat reciprocity pact has been negoti- d--one which in 1893 would have been led with wild acclaims by the entire fifty - and while we have grown to more independent of the United tes than we were at that time, the antages of such an agreement as t which has been entered into have been lessened one whit. t will be noted in the last paragraph he resolution the Liberal party in 3 was willing to include in a reci- city treaty a "well considered list of anufactured articles," and men like "noble eighteen" of Toronto and li, Clifford Sefton, assented to this position. In the present agreement list of manufactured articles is very a 11, so insignificant in fact that no Mien manufacturing r n g intCYQSt is ously affected, whilst the great ag- tural, fishery and lumbering inter - are immensely benefited, s c b 0 p a n t p p to tr re in t en th ca fo P th ha pr to to we ar tre ass wi Mr. Clifford Sifton's decision not to be run again for Parliament is a very pru- T dent one, as he would not have a ghost Lib of a chance in that part of the country ice that he has any claim to represent in What his special reason for opposing ly reciprocity is, it is not fon us to inquire, the He is a very rich man, and most rick lib men have interests dependent on tax- ate ng the people for their continuance, hal Certain it is .that the reason he sets con forth far so doing is the veriest rub- he bish. With a. flourish of loyalty, he Sta ays that reciprocity is a sacrifice of adv Ifiscal independence. There is no doubt tha that any customs treaty is, so far as it not goes, and so long as it lasts, a sacrifice I i of fiscal independence: We have such of t a treaty with France; yet we de not 189 remember hearing of Mr. elf ton going pro Into reourningover it. On the contrary, me he accepted the whole responsibility of the it.

There was an ex- tra heavy run of cattle marketed and the demand was by no means keen Included in the run were some very choice heavy export steers, which sold well at $6 to $6.15. These were the he best cattle offered, and met with the best reception. Other exp 0 r ter s brought from $5.80 to $6. Bulls sold steadily at $4.75 to $5.10. The butcher trade was decidedly dull and slow. Prices were no more than steady at $5.75 to $5.90 for the best handy weight butcher heifers and steers: Medium and common cattle sold all the , way from $5 to $5.65, Cows were about steady, at $4.35 to $4.80. Sheep and lambs were off about 25 cents per cwt. Lambs old from $5.75 to $6.50, and sheep from $3 to $4,25. Heavy ewes were slow at $3 to $3.50. Hogs were firm at last week's figures. Calves were dull. The run included 132 toads, 2,500 cat- tle, 434 hogs, and 496 sheep and Iambs. ry a s - to de t, he y re y; g n f e. y 1 y 0 n y e d c:_r": A few years ago fIyin achines were hardly thought of, nor was Scoti's iw summer.
