But the If state elections indicated that the peo: US. le were not satisfied with the Payue tariff. One state, Massachusetts, had "declared indirectly in favour of reci- "procity in the election of a governor 8 who advocated it.

There ought to be however, semblance of sense in what the ponents say when useful legislation is presented.

Of a piece with the state ment, and of presumably sane men, was tHE assertion that the Fielding business arrangement with the Taft government was a scheme to prevent closer trade relations between Canada and the 'Mother Country. Silly, you say ? Well, anything goes in poli- tics, Reason will be restored in the match question when the opponents of the measure have carefully considered all the facts.
