Free trade in most other products of the soil will hit the Canadian eonsumer by iucreasing the prices which he will have to pay for these products, but free trade in fruit would enable him to buy fruit, for several weeks year, at lower prices than those which Ke has been obliged to pay. Probably the fruit growers' industry would be temporarily injured--but, we believe, only temporarily. Niagara fruit must always command good pricés on ac- count of the superior quality." Prob- ably the vegetable and fruit 'men will learn all this by the trip to Ottawa, and it will not, therefore, be without result. But the whole proceeding shows how agitations can be started and aided, and men made to feel that something is happeging that will touch them, though they may not be to the manper in which this will oceur. A QUICK FACE-ABOUT ! The conservatives propose to make the reciprocity question a party one, and on the ground that it is anti British or anti-imperial in its quality. When some one suggests that the dad. dy of them all, Sir John Macdonald, had squinted st it, while he furled the old flag about him, they protest. Yet in vain. The resolution which he moved while in opposition in 1877, and on which the National Policy was founded, stipulated that the govern: ment should proceed "in the direction of a reciprocity of tarifiy,"" with the end in view of eventually procuring "a reciprocity in trade." ! In one election he wrote that though a British subject he had been born and a British subject he would die, he wanled a mandate from the people to negotiate with the American govern- ment a reciprocity treaty. He did this in order to circumvent the liberals who at the time discussed the advan- tages of reciprocal trade. Later re- presentatives of the conservative gov- ernment visited Washington, and sought a veciprocal arrangement re- specting trade, and failed in their mission. They made their overtures two or three times, to po purpose. Now the party is being urged > oppose reciprocity, because it may af- fect the imperial preference, and . in 1897, Sir Charles Tupper, as the lead- er of the party, and very much dis- gruntled because the people had re ! jected him and his policy at the polls, declared "that Canada should grant no tariff concessions until Britain ve- volutionized her fiscal system on a pro- teclivp basis and offered Canada privi- leges in return." He would have forced Britain to buy its way into our mar ket at a price he scorned the free gift policy of the liberal government. And week. Suddenly the British® empire is in danger, and the conservative party is going to preach the sweet gospel that it iv the only salvation ! ei . DIVERSITIES OF THOUGHT. There are ways in which the reciprocity treaty is regarded. The first impression, across the Atlantic, affect tariff reform, but the later im- un is different. The Daily Mail is 71 i each FER : fore annexation is possibly the former must undergo a tremendously radical change. Canada's loyalty to the crown grows intemser with time, It will take something cise than a com Jnercial agreement to transfer her love and allegiance to the union. This fact should never be forgotten by the nervous Britons aforesaid, nor by those agitators on both sides of the border, who fondly imagine that a taking down of tariff bars will in due time result in an obliteration of the boundary line." Then there are the agriculturists, on both sides, who are opposed to the new schedule because it will affect them injuriously, The grangers of both Canada and the United States are un favourable to reciprocity, and this means that the arrangement must: be pretty evenly adjusted. Finally there are the conservative factionists who are dead against the "deal," as it is called, simply because it is the pro- duct of a liberal government. They want to know what is to become of the imperial preference. Mr. Fielding did-pot tell them, and they are at i liberty to guess. When they are jthrough it: will be made apparent | what the finance minister meant when i he said that the house could safely {trust the preference' to the men who { had created it. ! A WORD TO THE WISE. | The financial year has'ended with 'the power and light departments, as it was expected to do, with a reason- able increase of profit. It is under- stood that the net earnings of both the gas and electric plants amount to a handsome sum. At once the ques- tion arises, What is the committee go- ing to do . with the money? What would any sensible business man do { who owned the property ? H he had 'an overdraft or current ac- count he would pay it off, or as much of it as he could. He would, realizing the large amount he had invested in capital account, provide a depreciation FRONTENACS ON TOP DEFEATED PETEREOROS BY ELEVEN GOALS"TO\JFOUR. ------ The Half-time Score [Was 5 to 1-- "Bouncer" Brouse Had His Eye Injured--Peterboro. Goal Judge Dismissed by Referee. At Peterboro, on Tuesday night, the plucky young - Kingston Frontenacs, junior hockey champions of Canada, added another laurel wreath to their present large collection, by the husky team of that city, in the first of the O.H.A. semi-finals, by a score of H to 4. The game was a cracker-jack from whistle to whistle. Both sides started off at so fast a clip that the spectators were amazed. Such rushes, checking and smappy stick handling has rarely been seen on any ice. Peterboro's team had it all over Fromtenacs in weight; and had a bunch of speed also, but the little Kingston champions were there with the "'hoe- key head" and tricky plays, which off- set their opponents' weight. For the first fifteen minutes of play it was about an even break, with each team straining every werve to get the first goal, and having many a straight shot turned to one side, by the goal tenders, Finally, Frontenacs did the "BOUNCER" BROUSE, fund, and according to such a per- centage in the net receipts as the high- est authorities advised. This sum would be not less than $5,000 a year, and a larger amount if possible. ! He would meet the cost of any ne- ,Cessary equipment which cammot be | charged to capital account, and cov- ered by the sale of debentures and re- tirement of them from year to year. i The balance, which could not be large, "he would put in a rest fund, to be drawn upon from time to time, as the departments resjuired, and so avoid !the overdraits which ace so expensive and sometimes so ruinous to the en- terprising private citizens. Perhaps in all this the members of the committee will get an idea that 'will be helpful to them. The public | utilities of the city must be carefully! f ; managed. A lot of machinery is rapid- | added ly approaching the period when it must be restored. The gas plant will {be revived within the next year or two. The committee must not be go- iing to the people for loans too often. There is a limit to what the property and the people will stand.

Play again became fast and furious, Peterboro trying hard to even up, and after a shot on goal, the Peterboro judge raised his hand, allowing a goal for his team. Referee Sproule, how- ever, was right on the job, and saw that the puck had not entered the goal, and refused to allow the score, (nantly denies also removing the over-excited official from his position, and replacing him with "Ernie" Wasson, one of the old guard, in whom Frontenacs had every con 2 After this happen made a great. rush and tallied goal No. 2.

Who 'starred for Frontenacs ? Well, the whole seven were stars of seven different varieties. Marchand, in goal, was invincible and always on the job. Capt. Davidson made many fine rushes, and although cross<checked to a fare-vou-well, brushed his opponents aside like nine pins. "Preacher" Me- Cammon was very much in evidence and played a dandy game, rushing in fine shape. "Bouncer" Brouse was unfortunate enough. in the second half to receive an accidental jab in the eve from a stick, and had a difficult time seving for the balance of the game. His pluckiness in remaining on the ice was a revelation to all. Before kis acci- dent occurred, "Bouncer" made made effective attacks on his opponents' goal.
