They made what Sir Charles described as *en unrestricted offer of reetproeity,' 1893, Unofficial overtures, Sir John Thompson,epeaing ln. Alai), 1894, said he had taken occasion to let the United States know that Canada was prepared to negotiate a reciprocity treaty. 1896. Unofficial discussion of reci- procity by representatives of the Lib- eral Government. 1898. Unsuccessful attempt of the Joint Nigh Commission, sitting first ate Quebec and afterwards at Washing- ton to negotiate a reciprocity treaty. The reason why the matter has been; hs abeyance since then was that Sir Wilfrid Laurier had declared upon this rebuff that Canada. woul.f• go no more to the United States --•.that the subject would not be reopened t gain till the United States came to Canada, 4.'here has never been any revers'iri of the uni- form attitude of Canada on the !object. The•TJnited States did come to Canada and Canada would have stultified her- self by not Tec-.iving them, There were no premonitioes of the protec- tionist squall till after the agreement had been come to. In the face of the foregoing faets it is hard to believe that any one in his senses could hope to make the people of Canada believe that 'Reciprocity with the United States means annexation'; `Reciprocity will bring hard times to Canada'; 'Reciprocity is the price that Britain paid to secure the U. S. arbitration treaty'. Surely a campaign based on state- ments so false to fact and to the past tradition?; and heroes of the Conserva- tive party will not inspire confidence in that party or in persons and papers guilty of re -iterating such assertions. `Dope' of this kind may prove effective with ignorant people but will nauseate the bulk of the Canadian electorate. It would be difficult to pay a worse compliment to our people's intelligence and information than by the persistent assertion that Canada had given no mandate for reciprocity in natural pro- ducts with the United States. Whooping Cough. M.s. Charles Lovell, Agassiz, B. C., writes: "Seven of our nine children had whooping cough the same winter and we attribute their cure to Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpen- tine. We always have it in the house, and recommend it as the king of all medicines. I was formerly complete- ly cured of protruding piles by using Dr. Chase's Ointment." Horses and Reciprocity. Mr. Yeager, a well-known Norfolk horse breeder, says that teams which would sell for $400 to $550 in Canada would bring $700 and $800 in the United States. Mr. Burns, a Toronto horse dealer, Isks why, if this is the case, Canadian Sealers do not buy them here, ship them across the line, and make a profit after paying freight and duty. Mr. Yeager's reply is that Canadian lorses are kept back from the line not inly by the duty, but by the customs egulations. He gives an instance of a aanadien farmer who tried to ship a :earn across the line, valuing them at 550. The appraiser says the value is 600. If the farmer does not like that ppraisal, he must put the horses in ond, employ an American Lawyer, wait for a hearing for perhaps thirty Lays, and pay for board during that ime. If he wins the case, he is still ut of pocket so much that he loses on he transaction. He becomes disgust - d, and does not try any more. "He is out." Take off the tax, and the farmer avec not only the $150 tax on the $600 earn, but the annoyance, the delay, he law fees, the keep of the horses, and the hotel bill. It is not the quantity of food taken ut the amount digested and assimilat- d that gives strength and vitality to he system.

Twenty-six people died from suffoca- tion and 25 were seriously injured in a panda in a moving picture show at Canonburg, Pa.,hi g> which was believed to be on fire. The Weekly Sun is not far wrong when it says that `:The men who form the backbone of the anti -reciprocity forces are the peckers with their 50 per cent, dividends; the maltsters who have been buying 'Canadian barley at an average of 19e. below Buffalo prices find financiers and promoters who have become millionaires by the floating of mergers which the present system ten dere possible," "The constant growth of the nation- al wealth of France, which has always been the chief element of her strength, ie graphically s tl1 played in an estimate just cog ii1 " 1 mei/tiled ed by M.

Forty car loads of salt were shipped from the Wingham Salt works during the month of August. Tuesday was a busy day in town with those composing No. 2 Company of the 33rd Battalion, as on that day the Com- pany left for a ten days' drill at St. Thomas, Last Saturday evening, while Bell's Factory Baud was playing near the Queen's hotel, a gentleman who had recently heard the Guelph city band playing, remarked to a bystander ' that the Bell's Factory Band would compare favorably with the band of that city. The following spicy paragraph is copied from a letter recently received from a former Winghamite: "What do the Wingham Tories now think about that great housecleaning goink on at Ottawa? You would think 'that Sir John would have kept his house in better order, but his ambition did not run in that direction. It seems that his whole study was to cover up the dirt so that the Grits could not see it." No stronger condemnation of the Pro- tective policy of the present Govern- ment could be found than the census returns submitted to Parliament last week. That the net increase in popu- lation only amounts to about 500,000 in. ten years, is a strong argument in favor of changing our present trade policy, which has the effect of driving people out of the country rather than to build up our young country.

You can spend her inheritance, blacken her eye, You can leave her, ill-treat her, or shove her; She'll faithfully suffer your acts till you So long,as you tell her you love her. You may tenderly nurse her and alt things endure, Her weaknesses carefully cover, • But she'll never believe your affection is sure Unless you inform her you Love her.

Y -- a English Custom That Would Benefit Sheep Industrie In Americo. The practice of renting rams tor service is a Very good one. and as lb means of developing our sheep indtla- try it should be extremely useful, writes George 111cHerrow in the Breed- er's Gazette. English breeders not only rent their good rams, but often take in a few ewes to make up a sea- $on's wen: for a noted sire. Of course we must . realize that their conditions are much more favorable to such a system than ours. England is an ex- ceedingly 'small country compared to the United States. and furthermore each breed has. its own district, inside of which nearly ail the breeders are, located. The fees charged there Ter the best rams seem extremely high to Americans. Last season a :prominent Shropshire breeder received $25 per ewe for the service of a ram. i3ow- ever, the get of this ram had won the lion's share of the leading sbowing honors. In other cases the ram Is rented out for use on'ane ,entire Sock, and the charge is. from $25 up, vary- ing arying with the quality of the ram.' The highest rent for a season's work that we k''tlow of is $450. British breeders are very enacting in their choice of sires and are .willing to pay well for good ones. ID our own country the, percentage of really hlgb class rants is very low. probably lower: than the proportion of Photo by American 'ress Association. The photograph from which the tnustratton shown herewith'waa en- graved was taken at the farm of P. A, B. Widener, the Philadelphia millionaire. Iiia stock is all blue blooded and comprises all classes of animals usually found on a farm. The ewe is a prize winner of Oxford Down breed. good tires in any' other important class of live stock. in every section there should be a few Superior tams. In many places this is true now, and the owners .are usually willing to breed s few ewes to them at a nominal cost or even to let them out for . an entire season's work. the mail with a grade' fiock does not usually want to pay for a strictly high class ram, but if he had a few pure bred ewes it would not be expensive for him to have them bred to the very best ram obtainable. films he would be able to introduce the best blood into his grade sock by the use of Ids owe pure bred rams. • Ifour best breeders a would offer [ovr rates of rental for their tap rams they would be doing the Sheep industry a great gervicc. ,When once established it is easy to gee the benefits derived, and in a short time the best ratite would be doing all the work and the poor ones bone.
