ONIZE HOME INDUSTRIES T PERRY AND SURROUNDING TOWNSHIPS, » SINGLE COPIES Bo. | 0. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, tor ~~ No. 52 ivide the duty, now collected on natural yeent the producer and the consumer, get more for his produce, and the consumer can buy his supplies more cheaply than now. The reason people have not understood this before is | use neither producer or consumer have personally paid the duty; but the produce buyer has been compelled to pay less to the producerand charge plore 10 the consumer TO MAKE UP FOR THAT ~ Itis not the farmer that is now being helped by the tarrif on food, but such of 'the middlemen as charge unfair prices. = A vote for Wm. Smith is a vote against Reciprocity Mr. Wm. Smith enjoys Reciprocity now in pure- bred Clydesdale Horses, and is it said was one of the deputation that appeared before the Government to ask for this valued concession to high-class farming This form of Reciprocity has worked well, as it has in the free trade in registered cattle. Conservatives say that the Clydesdale horse market was never so. good as now, particulary in the better class of horse American competition has not hurt us. Why not extend the advantages of Reciprocity to the farmer who cannot now afford to raise registered stock? CONTRASTING PURPOSES . This election campaign brings out some wonderful contrasts in the Conservative pro- ~gram--DBourassa "and Borden. Bourassa ° preaches against British connection, Borden preaches for Biitish connection'. These men are allies. There is no such division in the Liberal ranks--there all are truly loyal, _ both to Biitain and the best ~ interests of all Canadians. THE NEW LOGIC The farmer has a pig for sale. Oue of his neighbors offers him $10; another offers lum $11. ~ Naturally he is dis- posed to prefer the lacter. © Don't do it," says Mr. Borden, You are a believer in Monarchy; he is a believer in Republi- canism. If you take his offer you may lose your political faith. Take the $10.. Leave well enough alone!" Bengough SSS We are told that Denmark will ship dairy produce into - Canada at greatly reduced prices. If shé can compete with us and undersell us in"our own market, how under the sun can we compete with Denmark and undersell her in the British "market? Tel : : Work that out for yourself, Mr. Voter, and see what will become of the terrible " twelve favored mations" dragon. Not a singlé one of those nations can compete with [J Canadians in our own market, for two reasons: - 1 They are" * barred by their great distance. 2 "They have a better market right at their own doors. FAIR WARNING Hear the trusts, through the Conserva- tive leaders, warning the people against the trusts. The Liberals are now out squarely to give all Canadians equal privilege. "1 stand for a square deal all round, I seek to benefit the farmer equally with the manufactnrer, the artizan, the middleman and the laborer."-=F. L. Fowke, "If any man wishes special privileges, he does well to leave the Liberal party, for I don't want his support." -- F. L. Fowke at Oshawa on Saturday, Sept. 9 " The issue in this election is not Reciprocity alone. It is as to whether the Canadian trusts shall rule or the Canadian people." --F. L. Fowke A true statement is one that is true in all parts of the speech. [It cannot be used to gain a point in one part of an argument, and then igncred in other parts of the same speech Let me illustrate. In order to prove that Reciprocity will be of small benefit to the farmer, Hon. Clifford Sifton said that it only affected 15 per cent of the natural products of Canada because the other 85 per cent is consumed in the home market. Hav- ing thus made little of the benefits to be derived from Rec procity, of course Mr. Sifton had no further use for his 15 per cent statement. lle next went on to show what ruin and desolation would follow the new trade agreement. But you see we can only have a 15 per cent ruin if Mr. Sifton's first statement is true. If it is not true he should net make it. The Alien Labor Law will not "be cut off By Reciprocity, and the + railway fare 'between the United © States and Canada will not be any cheaper. How then is: there any xtra danger of cheap labor under * Reciprocity? Reciprocity will give us nearer markets and larger markets; remove the duty Canada is going 4 : Mr. Neville said that the United States cannot afford to lose the friendship of Great Britain br.cause the States have more possessions now than they can take care of, if Great Britain were to be unfriendly This was given as a reason for the offer of reciprocity fiom the States just now. The greater part of the ! rest of Mr. Neville's speech was Canada at 1g points. As soon as given to show that NA United reciprocity passes, these railways States have annexation designs on will spend * hundreds of millions of Canada.

He also says that the United States railways are ready to enter
