The council changed the date to Sept. 12th, as announced in last week’s Ga- zette, but Mr. Stinson informs them that the date mentioned in the by-law cannot legally be changed without the republication of the whole byâ€"law. The date for voting will therefore be Sept. 5th, as originally advertised. Liberal Meeting Sept. 4th. A public meeting in the interests of Mr. Joe. B. Begg will be held in Dickson’s Hall on Monday evening next," and will be addressed by Mr. gBegg, Mr. R. J. LeLaughlin, K. C., and Mr. A. O. Hogg. Opposition speakers invited. A meeting will be held at Coboconk on Sept. 5th, Gelert Sept. 8th and Cameron Sept. 9th. Mr. ,Bcgg is making a. vigorous canvass, ‘and' is meeting with the most satisfac- tory encouragement in all parts of the riding he has visited. 'Art Iron Co By-law. A very well attended meeting was held on Wednesday evening for the purpose of discussing The Art Iron, Limited, by-law. Every person was given an opportunity of' expressing his Eviews on the matter, with the object of enabling the citizens to vote intelli- gently. M r. Cashore was voted to the concisely the- objects of the meeting. He then called upon Mr. T. H. Stin son, of Lindsay to deal with the legal end of the matter and explain the 1, terms. and. conditionsof the agreement. 'Mr. Stinson. went hats-the matter very fully and gave an account of all the negotiations leading up to the signing of the agreement, and explained all the terms of it very fully. ,Themcet- ‘2 the recve, who dealt with the subject matter at some length, and showed that the village was getting a. good deal. The exemption from taxes was imore- than. doubly met iii-the amount Sof schcml taxes thatawil'l be paid on the .‘jnew establishment,_as against $6.50 ‘thal is new paid; ointhe vacant land. The power at present is uunningever the dam, and the increase in residen- tial lighting \vouldbe a compensation for that, He gave a short summary _of the- geods» manufactured by the lcempany, showing- that there was an theisucceSS of the concern meant en- ., ,largedi premises and increased oper- ‘.ations at Fenelon Falls. He stated that the present company had $25,690 ’w-orthbf-‘ordei-zs on hand which meant isix-Jnonths work. The object of the company..- in coming. tothe- Falls is fer . expansion;of business. The company is bound toerectafactory 60 x 150 ft. 2 at a. cost of $3,000, install machinery therein at a cost of $5,000, and to em- ploy thirty persons eleven months in _> the year for ten years.,_ If 'the mnnber 1 falls below. thirty. and not lessthan ' twenty“ the company pays $5 per horsepower, and if less than twenty persons, they pay $10 per. horse-power, and for all power usedinithe factory ever 50 horsepower,-. they pay the . market price. The nature of the busi- ”‘ ness does not require a large amount of power per mamas at present the company is employing thirty men and. using twenty;horseâ€"power; so if they use-the full 501101‘se-p0wer it means employment of seventy men. The the town, especially when it is con- sidered that the prospects are bright for the growth of the business of the company to very large proportions, 3 which would require the enlargement of their plant here: and that the establishment of this industry would be likely. to be followed, by others. ’ It is to be hoped every ratepayer will make it npoint to record his.v0te .on- Sept. 5th.

The refusal of Mr. Borden to give reciprocity a year’s trial and then allow the people an opportunity to vote on it is one of the strongest arguments . in favor of the measure. If the Oppo- sition were sure that the passing of ' the' agreement into effect would be followed by one-half or onerquarterof the evils they predict, all they had to do to defeat the Government was to agree to Sir \Vilfrid’s proposal to try reciprocity one year, and then hold an election. But Mr. Borden was not willing to take the chance, showing as plainly as could be that he believed the prospects of himself and his party would be injured if the people had a year’s experience of reciprocity. A Wild Western View of Reciprocity. From the Bassano, Alberta. News“ New, what’s the use'ol Leader Borden coming out west here and trying to con- vince us western prairie people reelpâ€" rocity isn‘t good for us ? We got things figured out differently here, and calcul- ate that we know what's good for our- selves. When it comes to talking abOut grain and grain marketsâ€"well, it shapes up to our crowd that we know a good thing, and reciprocity is the one best bet. We want the U. S. market! Many of us come from the United States, have pioneered Dakota, Minnesota, Idaho and other States, or our fathers have, and‘ what we don’t know about the United States grain markets isn't deuce high in a dirty deck. This western Canada 15 .a. pretty sweet. counrry for grain, but it isn‘t heavy on market prices. Every Yank who trekked that borderline north is here to stayâ€"and to make money. Having inspected the reciprocity layout as Hon. Mr. Lanrier has framed 1t pp, we think it’s fit, and are going. to stick by it. , - Borden maybe 0. K. We never met him but we’ll give him an even break, sight unseen. But he lose on that recr- ‘ p'rocity dope as far as this western Can- ada is concerned, Outside of that he may be alright. Nobody out here wants to annex the United States to tag along behind, nor do we want to be annexed by any country. What we want rs betâ€" ,ter grain markets, and. we'll be in the that way, See 1 odd. Arguments. Winnipeg Free Press. The exigencies of the situation have led to some very odd arguments agalnst reciprocity. Oneof the mostzc'uriou‘s is :the contention that Canada With eight millions of people cannot allord to enter into trading, relations with a. nation twelve times as populous. The one-(Janâ€" adian is put into. contra-st With the tWelve- Americans and it is suggested that he would be smothered by tne co_m‘ petition that would result from recip- rocity. The argument is frealnslnas any one can see for himself if he gives any thought to the matter. The one Cana- dian, hasgoods to sell; 15 it not to his Iadvantage to have twelve posSible-cusâ€" ’tomers ? On the other hand,1f he wants to buy is it not in his interest that. he should have twelve trying to sell tolnm? Either way you. take it the one Cana- 'dian has the advantage of the twelve Americans. In an interchange of natur- al products such as is provided for, Can- ada has much the best of' the exchange , â€"â€"â€"n fact which accounted for the despcr- . ate opposition offered to the-pact in the United. States... senate. Personal. . Mr. Maxwell . Sheppard,.,of Windsor, . Ont.. spent a few hours at .the Falls on Wednesday on his way home from a camping trip north.
