Conservative Read what Mr. F. C.Grenside, V. S., of Guelph, says : The effect of the consummation of the reciprocity agreement between the United States and Canada upon the horse trade of this country is being con- exploited as sin argument against this "pact. I have read with much interest two interviews given by Mr. C. A. Burns, of the Burns & Sheppard Repository in Toronto, to a representative of The Tor- onto World, in which that gentleman en- deavors to picture the dire calamity that will befall the horse interests of Canada and those of the Province of Ontario in particular, if the agreement becomes law. Mr. Burns is evidently consider- ably alarmed as to the effect it will‘hnve upon his repository business. I trust that he overestimates the injury it will do him, as l have great respect for him, for his grand establishment, and for his admirable business methods, but I can- not agree with him in his conclusions as to the ellect this reciprocal arrangement will have upon the horse interests of Canada. In ()l'lll'l‘ that T may not be accused of any sinister motive in writing this let: ter, 1' may state that l have always been a Conservative. and have never given any but Conservative'votes in my life, and have journeyed all the way from New York, where I lived seventeen years, to vote for the Conservative cau- didale in my old home in Guelph. Al- though I lived in New York so long, l never took the oath of allegiance, and am still a British subject, and have come back to Canada to spend the remainder of my days. It is nota pleasant thing to have to vote against ouc's party, but I feel eon- vinccd that this reciprocal arrangement will he a good thing for this country, so will support the Government. l may further add thatl have been identified with the horse trade of both Canada and the United States for thirty years, and have seen every phase of it, so that I think my experience justifies me in exâ€" pressing an opinion upon the influence this pact is likely to have upon the horse interests of Canada. Mr. Burns unwittingly uses one of the best arguments I have heard in favor of reciprocity when he says in effect that. the struggling settlers of the Canadian northwest will get their horses fifty dol- lars cheaper if the pact goes in force. The Government is legislating for the Dominion, not for one Province, and we ought to be glad to have the settlers of the northwest. who buy their horses chiefly on credit, and who are incident-. ally building up the country, get them as reasonably as possible. 0! course, Mr. Burns was speaking from an Ontario standpoint, and was en- tirely influenced by his solicitude for Ontario breeders of horses, ’cbnsequent- ly we must meet him on those grounds. We all agree that the Ontario breeder is getting good prices for his horses now, but the question is, would the prices be~ come lowered if the pact is consummatv ed '3 My opinion is that they would not, and if there is a change it will be tip-- wards. People seem to lose sight ofthe fact that we in Ontario are right along-~ Side. of the greatest horse consuming territory on this continent, and that this same territory is practicall y a non-horseâ€" producing one. Take New York and New Jersey, and the seaboard States- from Maine to Maryland with fifteen millions of inhabitants, and they do not raise ten per cent. of the horses thev' use. Now we in Ontario arccloser to this market than any horse-producing’ State in the Union, unless it is -.Pennsvl- vama, and it is questionable if this Stale, thickly populated as it is, has many horses to spare. Who would not rather have a market close at hand than ship- horses from fifteen hundred to~~thrctr thousand miles, particularly if he can get as much or more for them ? Mr. Burns says horses are dearer in Canada than in the States. ’l‘hcymay be cheaper in the southwestern States, as- he says, but they are not in the cast, for 1 know both markets. 1 bought thirtv' work horses from Burns & Sheppard last spring, and 1 know these horses would have cost me more anywhere from Buf= falo east. 1 left the eastern market onlv a year ago, and 1 know what horses are selling for there. Undoubtedly, the (.‘an- adian northwest has been a boon to the Ontario farmer, but take down that tarilt’ wall and give us that great eastern mar- ket which is at our very door, and We. will not need the northwest, for we will be flooded with eastern buyers. We will not lose all our northwest customers either, as there are many settlers from Ontario there who would naturally come to a market they know. There are other obstacles to the imâ€" portation of American-bred horses into Canada that are not generally-known about, which have nothing whatever to do with the tat-ill. aud will not be nth-et- ed by the pact. They are precautionary measures, instituted by the Veterinary Director-General of Canada, to prevent the introduction of glanders into this country from the States. One provision is that all horses imported into Canada have to be subjected to the Mallein test , which is a means of determining whethâ€"- er or not they are the victims of glandv ers, particularly in its latent form. The. application of this test means at least a couple of days delay. and some-expense. Another provision istheprOhibititin of the importation of unbroken heroes-that cannot, readily be handled to .appl y “the test to. This practically shuts outi'tho unbroken ranch horses of .the western States. ' Everything taken into account, them is no doubt that a considerable part.» of the Canadian northwest trade can be re~ tained for Ontario, but whether it is or not the eastern trade is of more yal‘uu to us- F.
