Toronto Daily Star sent a staff editor to Bowmanville and Port Hope lait week to learn prevailing opinion on the recipro- city agreement now being consideredby Parliament. Large space was devoted by The Star to the interviews but we can only afford space for extracts frorn them: MR. W. G. RUNDLE. Mr. W. G. Rundie je another influental farmer who favori the pact. "It h gen- erally satisfactory," hie testifies, "and will benefit this district." MR. A. E. CLEMENS. Mr. A. E. Clemens, ex-president of the Agricuitural Society and ex-Reeve of Darlingtoni, sees a fine future for the beef trade under the tariff pact. "I'rn looking for a better mnarket for horses, too, and 1 think perhaps there wili be a litile differ- ence in barley." MR. W. E. JEWELL. Mr. W. E. Jewell, President of West Durham,, Agricultural Society, believes the agreernent juil the thing for the fariner, and a fine chance for the barley grower. Hay wil self at a better price, and il xviii help the dairy business, too." Speaking for hirnself, hie declared that 4"we lbit $500 the first year the McKinley tariff on bariey 54 .s iîrî-posed." Ma. W. J. BRAGG. Mr. W. J. Bragg, a large apple exporter sees particular beneit 10 the fruit growers under the new arrangement. He believes it wiii advance the price of grain and live stock. "The fruit -growers of Niagara may have a grievance," hie said, "but 1 beieve the remilt of freer trade wiii be to, encourage the growing of the better varieties of peaches. If there were no politicsin thîs country 1 dont see how any farmer could be otherwise than favorable to tihe agreement." 1MR. C. REHDER. Mr. C. Rehder of Bowmanville Foundry Company says that some parti of the coun.try Will benefit. by-the--reciprocîy- agr-eement, though hie thinki others wil not. "Freer trade is here, however", lie added, "and I'm flot going to loic time worrying over it. I believe that some of the Westerners would not have grievances either unlesi they were told that they have them. They are like workmen who feel quite contented with their prospects until some agitator with an axe to grind tebls themn how unhappy they are.". COUINCILLOR GEo. A. STEPHENS. Councillor, Geo. A. Stephens waà verv emphatic in taiking the malter over with The Star. "From a farmer's îtandpoint" hie said,,"I certainiy arn in favor of free1r trade, The- agreement, if ralified, wil advance tfie value of iarm lands, here- abouts. It wil be -a great boon 10 the apple g5ower. Not onbly wi-1i he be able bo dispose of his lesi desirable apples in the United States, but hie will find iriNew York a fine market forv fancy Kingi and Snows for, table use. I believe we cao grow those apples better on the north sihore of Lake Ontario than anywhere else in the world. I fancy the removalI of duty on barley will mean an increase in the amount grown in this district." MR. THOS. BAKER. Mr. Thos. Baker, known ail over the country as a breeder of shorthorns, is evidently a vigorous personality. "Do you like the agreement ?" hie was asked. "Like il?" was bis counter query. "Why, say, if you have a product 10 seli wouldn't vou sooner have two markets than one ? The arguments being put forward by the Opposition are the greateit rot that ever existed. They know in their bones, the sensible men among them, that it is going 10 benefit the country. Person- ally, I tbink-that there will be a good market for our beef and mutton in thse United States where the population is in- creasing rapidly and tbe production of live-stock not increasing. And if- I have good horse here the Yankees want it, and are willing to pay for it. Say t he ex- elaimed, "taking the shackies off trade can't hurt people. There are some ob- jections, of course, but do:von tbink these C. R, R. directors and otisers are really fretting about the farmer? This tabk of annexation is,, of course, ail moonsbine. There is no annexabion sentiment here. The- 'more prosperous we are, the more contented we'l be. Isn't that right?" Mr. Baker is politically prejudiced in favor of the agreement, but lie puts bhis case so strongly that il is worthy ofconsideration on its meniti. MR. F. B. ILovEiIN, J. P. The most striking tribute 10 recipro- city, bowever, wbich the Bowmanville district furnîshed carne frorn F.. B. Love- kin of Newcastle. "I arn a Sir John A. Macdonald Tory of forly years standing," hie said, "but I arn in favor of the agree- ment with botb feet. Il holdi ont every advantage to the fruit grower and fariner. We're goîng 10 have a new rnarket opened to us. We're going- 10 rade with the i-ichest people on earth on an equal basis.

The tbirîy-eigbth annual meeting of thse shaneholdens of the Ontario Loan and Savingi Company, Oshawa, was held at tihe office of the Company in bisat bown on Feb. 16th, at which tihe financial 'state- ment of the Company was subrnitted, which exhibited a moîl gratifying condi- tion as is usual with this Company. The report on another page speaki for itîcîf. The paît succesîful histor-y of thse company was briefiy aliuded to by the President, who remarked th? t il rnight be of intereit to the shareboiders 10 learn juit what the Company had accomplished duning its organization. It has been enabied 10 pay ils shareholders in half-yearly dividendi the large sum of $671768.77, and 10 dis- hunse to its depositons, debenture holders and thse cash incidentai to the conduct of tise business of tise conspany $915,028.75, or a total of $4,586,897.50, and tbis large amount has been earned upon our average paid-up capital of $266,000. The average dividend paid by the cornpany since, ils inception isaà- been about 712 per cent. and it has neyer passed a dividend, even durin g the crucial period through wisich Loan Companies passed some years ago, when many of them were compelled 10 write off tise greater part of their reits and some ot thern a portion of their capital. BAR-LESS BOWMANVILLE. Fî'omn Toronto Daly Star. Bowrnanvilie business men have appar- entby found a way 10 overcofine the moît serious objection 10 abolition of the bar in imallerî owns. They have solved the problern of accommodation for the travel- ling public by running a hotel thernseives, and it has proved so succesîful that tise other day they bougist ouItihe opposition hostebry and w411 now opergte, both.
