for the Liberal candidates on Septem-
ber 21st.
Two open doors instead of one for

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

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

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.

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

LIVE STOOK HAMLETS.
Toronto, Aug. 7, —The holiday mar-
ket was a slow one. 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.
