In an age of extravagance, the
thrifty forge surely ahead—while
their less provident neighbors accu-
mulate debt.
Many a thrifty roman or woman can
point to the first decided step in life
as having been taken the day a bank
account was opened.
A Savings. Account in the Bank of
Hamilton will prove a sure incentive
toward thrift.

answer this question with "yea" by
voting for Arch Hislop.
Your neighbor Wants some goods
and you have them to sell. You sell
there and get good coin of the realm hi
return for thein. That is reciprocity.
That is what Mr. Borden would ask us
not to do because it is treasonable or
will lead to the loosening of the ties
with the l4lother Country.
The amount of Canadian hay sold in
the United States last year was 86,000
tons, on which the duty was $344,000..
Under reciprocity this amount,, or the
greater part of it, would have gone in-
to the pockets of Canadian farmers,
and when the pact comes into force a
great deal more will go in that direct-
ion when we have surplus hay to ex-
port,
Lewis Wigle, former Conservative
member of parliament for South Essex,
who has broken from his party an the
reciprocity issue in the election cam-
paign, is to take the stump in the in-
terest of the Liberal candidates in the
ridings of North and South Essex. "I
expressed myself in favor of reciproci-
ty before itwas made a party issue,
and I see no reason why I should take
any other stand now," he said.
It• is significant of much, says the
Montreal Witness, that the Hon. Rob-
ert Rogers, of Manitoba; Premier Mc-
Bride, of British Columbia; Attorney-
General Bowser, also of British Colum-
bia; the Hon. Clifford Sifton, Mr. Hen-
ri Bourassa, the Hon. W. J. Hanna, of
Ontario, and other well-known politi-
cians who have proclaimed loudly their
intention to fight the reciprocity agree-
ment or the Canadian navy to the
"bitter end," are every one of them
afraid to seek a federal constituency in
support of Mr. Borden.
And now the Stratford Herald says:
"Hon. George W. Ross was—and is
counted a good Liberal." Since when
in the estimation of the Herald? Not
so many years ago he was held up to
scorn in that paper as having departed
from all the traditions of Liberalism,
but it suits its purpose to quote him
now, just as it does to exalt.Hon. Clif-
ford Sifton to a pedestal of greatness
and goodness, although it is not so long
since he was denounced as a grafter
who made himself a millionaire while
a member of the Government.
During his speech at St. John, Sir
Wilfrid Laurier observed that both
Sifton and Borden had criticized his
Simcoe speech on the ground that he
had offered little argument in support
of reciprocity. "Maybe," added the
Premier, smiling, "I was simply stat-
ing a case. You do not argue that the
sun shines, you state the fact; you do
not argue that rivers run toward the
sea; you do not argue that Mr. Sifton
is ambitious; you do not argue that Mr.
Borden is as variable as the four winds
of heaven. All these propositions are
self-evident."
"Notwithstanding all this the Demo-
cratic party, with their enormous ma-
jority in the House, will pass this mis-
called reciprocity bill, which will
result in prosperity for our Can-
adian neighbors and bankruptcy fpr
those engaged in agriculture in the
United States."—Hon. Joseph Cannon,
ex -speaker of the United States House
of Representatives. If Canada is to
be the dumping ground for American
farmers, why did the American farm-
ers oppose reciprocity. Farmers of
East Huron should vote for Hislop and
secure larger markets.
There is a fear in some sections of
this country that a policy of this sort
(inter -imperial preferential trade) may,
in someway, interfere with the blessed
privilege of free government which we
now enjoy, and which privilege we
never intend to give up. It is, of
course, necessary to carefully weigh
the opinion and to give ear to these
fears, but I, personally, do not think
there is any danger in our entering into
what is nothing more than a reeipro-
city, treaty with the United Kingdom.
Was there any idea that a reeiprocity
treaty with the United States would
in any way interfere with self-govern-
ment in Canada? No, Then why
Should that fear exist so far as Great
Britain is concerned?—R. L. Borden at
Montreal, July 21, 1904.
IRRESISTIBLE LOGIC OF FACTS.
Since 1896, when the Laurier Govern-
ment came into office, Canadian trade
with the
United Saes
t t has grown as
follows:
1896: ............... $103,022,434
189/ ...,. 111,022,513
1898 '; .... 121 410,686

1910 ... .. 336,652,587
Is anyone so foolish as to say that
this increase of trade has undermined
Canadian loyalty or sapped Canadian
national spirit or self-reiianee? Then
wily should a further increase of trade
carry these evileonsequenecs? ,
I: ARMS . IS TAXED 52 A DAY,.
Will reciprocity benefit the farmer?
For answer„ just take this instance
of Alexander Forsyth, of Colchester
South, one of the best known dairy
farmers of South Essex,
Ile ships 400 poundsof milk daily to
Windsor, while the price in Detroit is
60 cents a hundred higher than in Can-
ada. The difference amounts to $g a
day or over $700 a year.
Why should Mr. Forsyth or any other
farmer have to pay a tax, of $2 a day
on what he raises on his own farm.
The larger market that reciprocity
will provide looks good to him and to
thousands of others.—Chatham News,
A TIMELY SiJGGESTION.
To the Editor of the TIMES:
Dear Sir,—The fear that it may lead
to annexation seemsto be the only
argument left to those opposed to the
reciprocity agreement. In answer to
that I would point out that, though
nations may raise or lower the barriers
to trade, the actual trading can only be
done . by the individuals themselves.
So that those farmers who are afraid
they may lose their loyalty by selling
their cattle to Buffalo would only need
to enquire of the buyer where he in-
tended to sell. The buyer would say,
"Well, if I ship to Buffalo I will pay
you $8.00, but British consumption I
can pay only $6.9Q." The nervous far-
mer could take the lower price and
still have a string to his loyalty, and
his more enterprising neighbor, whose
loyalty does not depend on his pocket-
book, could take the higher price,
They might even go farther and put
a big T on the gate so that the buyers
who were paying the higher prices
would not need to call.
Sincerely yours,
THOMAS WOODCOCK,
Westfield, Huron Co., Aug. 22.
TORY ARGUMENTS
AGAINST RECIPROCITY.
1. "Let well enough alone." This
is a stick-in-the-mud and . a stagnation
policy.
2. "Reciprocity means annexation
and disloyalty to Britain." This is
simply rant and nonsense.
3. "Five per cent. reduction in
manufactured products means the thin
edge of the wedge." This is simply
base assumption.
4. "If the Liberals had only remov-
ed the duties on manufactured goods
as well." This is base deception es-
pecially taken with No. 3.
5. "Conditions have changed since
Sir John Macdonald, Sir John Thomp-
son, etc., asked and wished for Reci-
procity." Canadian lands for natural
products have vastly increased; the U.
S. lands have not—but their cities and
markets are much larger. More need
for Reciprocity than ever there was.
6. "American farmers will flood
Canada with their products." If 'so
why did they oppose Reciprocity so
strongly.
7. Taft's statement that "Canada is
at the parting of the ways" has refer-
ence to annexation, This is abso-
lutely false; an insult to President Taft
for which Borden owes him an apology.
It refers as President Taft says to
Canada's fiscal policy:
8: "The Yankees are too sharp and
smart for the Canadian farmer to trade'
with them." This suggests Canadian
inferiority or degeneracy. Canadians
get to the top in every business in the
United States.
9. Reciprocity will ruin the horse
trade in Ontario. It is proved by the
biggest dealers in horses such as Mr.
Yeager, of Simcoe who ships thousands
that Reciprocity is the best thing pos-
sible for the Ontario breeder of horses.
These are absolutely all the argu-
ments against reciprocity and a farmer
voting against reciprocity and his own
interests should be ashamed of himself.
LIVE. STOCK btAltKEfis,
Toronto, Sept. 5 ---City Cattle Mar-,
ket--Trade was brisk yesterday, the
entire' offering of 77 ears, containing
1,100 cattle, 1,000 sheep and Iambs,
700 hogs and 260 calves selling off early.
at prices firm but a trifle lower than
last week's quotations. Choice butcher
cattle brought from $5.80 to $6; lower
grades going at $4.50 and upward.
There was no iluetuation in export pric-
es, and the indications are for a firmer
tone, with perhaps slight advances in
prices as a reflex of the good reports
from the Ilirkenhead market. Sheep
and lambs were firm, and hogs were
quoted at $7.35 f. o. b., and $7.10 fed
and watered.
