The Fenelon Falls Gazette. Friday, February 24, 1911 Not Answered. Were the rulers of the United States to remove the duties on wheat, lumber, cattle and a few other things, how could the Government of Canada prevent its people from exporting their wheat, lum- ber and cattle, and by so doing destroy- ing their national independence ? This is the question the Globe has requested the News and the Montreal Star to answer, but neither of them has yet ventured to reply. The daily deluge of denunciations of the reciprocity pro- posals is all bare assertion. Not the slightest attempt is made to produce evidence that trade restrictions are necessary to preserve loyalty; nor is there {any disposition to suggest a plan of saving Canada from extinction as a nation in case the United States should at any time desire to absorb' her by the simple process of knocking oil the duties against Canadian productsâ€"a. process -that these extremely loyal newspapers have kindly put Uncle Sam wise to, duty free. ' Trade is Not Treason. [Toronto Globe. There can be no compromise 'with opponents of the trade agree- ment who persist in regarding trade with the United States as a species of veiled treason, and declare that the national safety is imperilled by any project to increase it. The Liberal party accepts that issue joyfully and has no fear as to the result. The storm in Tor- onto is no indication of the feeling throughout the Dominion. At least sev- enty per cent. of the people of Canada are firmly convinced, as they have been for a generation, that free trade in nat- ural products between Canada and the United States will be to the economic advantage‘of‘both peoples, and that it will not_in...the remotest degree lessen the loyalt'yJOf Canada to the Empire or the national spirit of the Canadian peo- p e. A great deal is said about the draining away of Canadian natural wealth to the United States instead of reserving it for the use of Canadian industries. Presi- dent Gourlay of the board 'of Trade is one of the, , Liberals who have signed a protest against the agreement, alleg- ing, among other reasons, that by it Can- ada “ would be hampered in developing her own resources in her own way and by her own people.” Mr. Gourlay is en- gaged in the manufacture of pianos._ He knows perfectly well that if the United States and other foreign woods and ven-. eers used in piano-makingâ€"the raw mat- erials of his own businessâ€"-were not available he and every other piano man- ufacturer in this city would be compel- led to close down. It is only a few weeks since Senator Melvin Jones, speaking for the Massey-Harris company, said the Canadian supply of hardwood was not nearly sufficient to carry on the com- pany’s operations. In the manufacturing industries of Toronto there are thous- ands of men busy working up raw mater- ials from the United States. The interdependence of the two coun- ries is far more intimate than is gener- ally supposed. It is not merely in regard to hardwood lumber that we depend on our neighbors to the south. High class steel, coal, cotton, tobacco, oils, chemi- cals, corn for feeding purposes, fire clay, and the raw materials of dozens of the most important industries of the Domin- ion eome from the United States. The drain of “ raw materials ” is not all from the north to the south. It is not even chiefly in that direction. Canada bought from the United States last year almost thirty-four million dollars’ worth of coal and coke, of which no less than fourteen million dollars’ worth was anthracite coal. It is estimated that Pennslvania has an thracitc that will last for consider- ably less than a century, yet Canada draws freely upon it, and there is no talk of cutting off the supplies. Every house- holder in Toronto is burning up “raw material ” from the United States that once exhausted can never be replaced. Of raw cotten 'we imported from the United States for use in our factories last year almost nine million dollars' worth according to the United States , figures. Tens of thousands of operatives ‘ tin thecotten factories. of; Quebec and :Ontario make their-living-by transform- zing thisraw material into the finished cotton, goods. we imported over. try that does not in a large measure . draw upon raw materials that are the produce of United; Stem. If therefore we send to the south our pine lumber and our pulpwood, our cool and hides, our ores and asbestos, and other mineral products, we are not being “ drained ” of these articles. We are ex- Tchanging them willingly for other sorts of raw materials that we need in our fac- tories and our homes quite as much as the people of the United States need our products. . To call that sort of mutually beneficial trade a “ loss'and iniui-y " and ejme'thing that will make it “ more difficult to avert political union ” is to take a view of in- ternational trade utterly unwarranted by; the experience of any civilized people. The Liberal party is not to be stampeded into a policy, of non-inter- course uith the United States by the appeals of gentlemen who are no doubt earnest and sincere, but who, like the opponents of the agreement on the other side of the border, are much given to “seeing ghosts.” Election DateHMaiy he‘ll-hanged. Before the Legislature finishes its Work this session there will probably be upon the statute book an amending Act changing the date of municipal elections throughout the Province. For session after session the questipn of changing the date has occupied the attention of one legislator or another without receiv- ing the serious consideration of the House, but Thursday it was under dis- cussion for an hour and a half. A dozen members had something to say about it, generally of a favorable nature. The matters were introduced by A. E. Donovan, Brockville, who drew a touch- ing picture of Christmastideâ€"the time when the “spirit peace on earth good will to men " should have swayâ€"being disturbed by contentious striving for - The municipalities ‘ municipal honors. were losing good servants because busi- ness men could not spare the time for electioneering during the holiday son. He waved before the members let- ters from a number of provincial preâ€" :Bobcaygeomsmnton trophy, the remit miersâ€"one from Sir James not being among them, howeverâ€"and quoted their expressions of opinion against elections being held during the Christmas season. Another sheaf of letters from mayors and for the change. Mr. Donovan's suggestion as incorpor- ated in his bill was that the second Mon- day in January be made the day for rec- eiving nominations, with the third Mon- day for elections. Daniel Reed, South Wentworth, oppos-. ed the change as likely to dislranchise the great body of commercial travellers who were home during the holiday sea- son, W. P. Nickle, of Kingston, J. H. Fish- er, of North Brant, J. Thompson, of East Peterboro, J. W. Johnson of West Hast- ings, and J. R. Dargavel, of Leeds, favor- ed the change, A. A. Mahaffy, of Musk- oka, feared that it would inconvenience the lumbermen, while F. G. Macdiarmid, of West Elgin, thought it would not give municipalities time to prepare legisla- tion before the House met. V The prime minister : surprised the House somewhat by endorsing all that was said regarding the necessity for a change, but he objected to the date chosen. ‘ " I never heard of anyone who could give a good reason for the present time of holding elections,” “ But," he contin- ued, “the honorable member for Brock- ville is all wrong about the time.” Sir James declared that the Government did not intend to take any side and would leave the matter to be worked out in committee. “Certainly,” he remarked, as he sat down, “ there is no time more unsuitable for elections than the present one." The bill will go to the municipal committee. Col. Sam Hughes at Washington. Washington, Feb, 1-9.~â€"â€"Well-wishers for international peace had a scarce yes- terday when they learned that the American capital was to be visited by no less a promoter of British Imperial- ism the world over than Col. Sam Hughes, M. P., of Ottawa and Toronto. A little knot of Canadians pictured the neglect into which the national defence, both in word and in military procession, would fall if the gallant Colonel remained long from the scenes that know him so well and hear him so often. The Colonel came on Saturday night, and instead of a regiment of blue and grey he faced merely the red-capped colored porters ready to take his suit case and his loose change. President Taft- ate his dinner in peace and quiet, undisturbed by the clamor of arms. The sunset gun wa: fired, and the men at Fort Myer re ired as usual. Champ Clark and Willem S. Bennet attended a common-place legislative duties incident to a filibuster conducted by one man, with a quiet resolution and courage that might be emulated by more talkative people. There was no burning of the capital as in the case of the last British invasion in 1815. ColHughes had come to confer with his friend, J. Wesley Allison, who is engaged in defeating the Long Sault power bill now before Congress, and for other reasons. INTERESTING. LECTURE.

Several hundred people witnessed the tournament last year with half the number of teams entered, and no doubt this year's event will far surpass any held here before. Admission 250. Although there was considerable shinny in the game between the Falls and Bobcaygcon intermediates on Thursâ€" day evening, the game was all around one of the best seen here for some time, there beiifig occasional flashes of good combination and clever work. Both teams worked hard until along toward the finish. when one or two of the visitors slackened their efforts. Pearson in goal stopped a lot of hot shots on the 'Caygeon nets, and M cPhee and Shane put up good defence for the home team. Following is the line up : W. Shane goal C. Pearson A. McPhee point E.
