At Tara cn Tursday last theold mem- ber, Mr. John Tolmie, of Kincardine was re -nominated by the Liberals of North Bruce for the Commons and Mr. C. W. Bowman, the present mem- ber was nominated for the Legislature. Mr. Tolmie is a popular cancidate and will again put North Bruce in the Lib- eral column. His opponent will be Hugh Clark, M.P.P. for Centre Bruce. A Bluevale correspondent writing to the London Advertiser says:- Mr. Arch. Hislop, of Grey Township, Liberal standard bearer for East Huron, is busy canvassing these days. He is full of en- thusiasm for the coming battle. Blue - vale, which was a tie at the last election will give Mr. Hislop this time a major- ity of about twenty, and Turnberry, which went Conservative last election will swing into the Liberal column. How- ever, East Huron is good fighting ground for both parties, with chances in Mr. Hislop's favour. The reciprocity pact affects only far- mers directly. Manutacturers still have protection except on salt. Reduc- tions have been made on' implements, meat products, and a few other things, but generally, the manufacturer still has his protection with a promise from Sir Wilfrid Laurier that it will be con- tinued. -From Hugh Clark's Conserva- tive newspaper, the Kincardine Review. Mr. Clark is now opposing reciprocity as Conservative candidate in North Bruce. Mr. Sifton's campaign will be, in the main, in Ontario, but his great wealth explains the alienation of his sympath- ies from the masses in favor of protec- ted interests, contrary to his former views, which goes to show that what Mr. Smith said in the House of Com- mons, "that this question is big enough to drive men into their correct status, either for the rights of the people or the special interests of those profiting by tariffs." -Victoria Times. The flaunted bogies of annexation and the loosening of Imperialties in ewe Reciprocity carries is a childish attempt to stampede the electors and is an insult to the intelligence ,and sta- bility of the Canadian people. One would think it was a new field altogeth- er that is being opened, up to Canadian produce when as a matter of fact the United States has for years been one of our heaviest buyers. It is simply a case of making an already profitable market still more profitable to the seller by the removal of the duties. In the largest convention held by the Liberals of South Huron in many years, held at Hensall Friday afternoon, Mr. M. Y. McLean, late member for this riding in the House of Commons, was again selected to contest the constitu- ency. One hundred and fifty delegates were seated, and more than that num- ber came to hear the speeches. It was a most enthusiastic gathering, all being strongly in favor of reciprocity. It was the most encouraging convention 21st. This is an increase of 1,500 over ever held, and there is no doubt that the last election. Mr. McLean will be returned by the Reciprocity means a larger market largest vote ever polled for a Liberal candidate. The Western farmers will lose $20,- 000,000 this year if the reciprocity agreement fails of enactment. Is it difficult to know how they will vote? This question propounded by The Lon- don Advertiser throws some light upon the anxiety of certain "interests" to defeat reciprocity. If the farmers are to lose by the agreement not being brought into force, someone must be gainer by a like amount. If $20,000,- 000 is a correct estimate it is easy to understand how those benefitted can afford to chip in a pot of half or one or two millions to defeat Laurier. In other words, the farmers are to con- tribute the funds for their own undoing. The Conservative campaign sheet 4-r+ "P'i'4'++ tI'sti'diII"!1"i'v"h+++ + + Dominion + + +. + + 8• SIR WILFRID LAURIER. FOR EAST HURON : + Elections, the United States, a superiority that does not exist. It implies that there is. something in the institutions of the United States that Canadians would like to enjoy, but are prevented from sharing bec.:use of their existing politi- cal condition. It suggests that there is a prestige attaching to citizenship of the United States which Canadians do not enjoy as citizens of the 'Empire. It presupposes that Canadians desire these things and therefore in their heart of hearts are ready to be annexed. This superiority, these features of the United States institutions, this imagin- ed prestige are Iron -existent, There is not an intelligent Canadian to -day who believes his country has anything to gain by annexation. -Victoria Times. Reciprocity is a measure that is ab- solutely fair to the manufacturer, the farmer and the artisan. But the man- ufacturer is afraid that, once you -the farmers -have a taste of a freer market you will demand more freedom. There- fore he tells the farmer that it is not to his advantage to vote for reciprocity. Did you ever know of any enemy offer- ing good advice to a friend? Vote for reciprocity -for your own interests - the millionaires of the Manufacturers' Association have done this for years. Hence they can sport diamonds, go to Europe whenever they feel like it, have summer residences at the sea shore and in Muskoka -take Pullman palace cars to summer resorts. While you pitch hay and stock grain in the hot sun of summer they take toll of every dollar that you earn by a process of tariff - legalized robbery. Go to the ballot box and vote for yourself. and free markets -reciprocity is what you want. The Canadian trusts don't want it. -Ayl- mer Reformer. THE THE TIMES TICKET : FOR PREMIER ARCH. HISLOP.

Otherwise there was a fair demand for exporters and prices do not appear to have suffered particularly owing to any trouble in getting cattle shipped. The fact that heavy fat cattle at Chicago were re- ported to -day as selling in that market as high as $8, gave a healthier tone to the market here. The best export for the London market were quoted to -day as $6.20, and for Liverpool at $5.90 to $6• Choice butcher cattle were quoted firm at $5.85 to $5.90, and several extra choice selected steers at $6.00.

Foster is going to address the people of Wingham in a few days, telling them why they should not support the Reciprocity agreement on the 21st Sept. next. Perhaps Mr. Foster will tell us -why he went to Washington himself tp plead with the then President on behalf of the Canadian people for this very agreement? Why he wrote to a Toronto magazine only last December, showing to the people the great advantages to Canada this agreement would bring? That as Canada did more business with the States last year than with all the other nations of the world put to- gether -why -there is no annexation to -day? That as every other industry has taken part in that great amoupt of trade except the fishermen and the farmer -why, by allowing these two to trade also, it will tend to annexation? If this whole opposition is not really based on the fact, that Sir Wilfrid has succeeded in obtaining what he failed to accomplish? Yours truly, THOMAS WOODCOCK. and better prices for the farmers. The prosperity of the farmer means pros- perity for every other class, Hon. G. P. Graham announced at Brockville that an aggreement had been reached with the Grand Trunk to rein- state all strikers recommended for such action by Judge Barron. "We are willing to dig deeper the channels of trade between the United States and Canada,” wrote George E. Foster in the University Magazine for November. But that was before he knew the United States would offer to help dig them deeper. Mr. John Herron, Conservative can- didate for Macleod, says: "If elected I will return to Ottawa and vote for reciprocity pact. I think it is Bangor- contains a most elaborate statement of nus in spots, but everyone in the riding the progress of Canada within the last Wants it, and I will vote for it. "Everyone in the riding Wants it" is a good indication of Western feeling. Wingham, Aug. 22nd, 1911 Mn. EDITOR: Dear Sir: -In politics, am independent to the very hilt, and am proud to be in the position, where strong partisans cannot say. "that fel- low belongs to us." With disdainful contempt strong political men will say that so and so is a "Stride -o' -the - Fence." Itwas one of the "Stride -o' -the - Fence" that put Whitney at the helm and also one of the same gents who put in Laurier, and now each party is trying to get the other fellow to dump the bars; but, my, if one of their own party turns he becomes an anathema. The Tory press tells us, that the great giant trusts of the U. S. are helping the Grits in this election. It may be so, and it may not. I do not know, but yet withal would like to ask who paid for the music at Harriston on Saturday evening-Spotton, Borden or Bowman? For my part would enjoy the music when wearing the laurels of victory. One great cry is that reciprocity is not loyal to Britain; what an absurdity, for should it make our Canada still more prosperous, would not the Mother Country reap a direct benefit there- from? For we are after all one great unit. My definition of reciprocity is this: -"mutual, reciprocal, or giving and receiving from each other, that which would benefit both' partied." If we can deal thus with our neighbors, how in the name of common sense., do we become disloyal to Great Britain? There are still a few more queries that I would like to have propounded, but no more for the present, and will ever be contented to remain. a "STRIDE - o' -THE -FENCE. n the +core of consumption, nourislimerlt is necessary.
