IHE DURHAM CHRONICLE “I believe that reciprocity will ”be of advantage to the Maritime Provinces With their hay, potatoes. apples and fish but I have no sympathy with the West em; far- mer and his demands” he said. The Dominion had spent $65 000 000 on the C...,PR and before that over a million dollars in taking; the Indians off the plains and car- ing for them. as well as establish- ing the mounted police at a cost or another million [of dollars for purposes of protecting the West;- ern farmer” BOGUS STATESHANSHIP Editor Chronicle. I was amused on reading last issue 50! the Durham Review, wherein he publishes the opinions of a number of residents in and around your burg, relative to the merits and demerits of the Reci- Bro-city treaty. the majority be- ing ,dyed-in-theowool Grits. who like their compeers in the past damaged our country whenever The Grand Trunk Pacific Rail- way had been undertaken at .acost of $150,000,000 and the senator thought that the country should avoid anything that would miti- gate against its success. which vincial trade. There were also the steamship lines, on which Can- adian companies had expended millions of money, and it was the duty of Canadians to help Dav for “I give the Government great credit for their trade legislation of 1897. which brought the British markets closer to Canada. and which has developed a fleet of cold storage steamers to cross the Atlantic, worth millions of dol- lars.” said the senator. “In addition to this,” said the senator. “We give any settler 160 acres of land free, and now they want to cut themselves off from the East.” ' them. the farmers might benefit thereby at different times odur‘ng these ten years, but he rather inclines towards the opinion the": such a trade agreement is but the in- sertion of the thin end of the wedge. - “Supposing reciprocal trade in natural products were adopted,” said he, “the history of our deal- ings with the United States have proven that they would bring pressure in one way or another to allow their manufacturers en- trance to our markets on ether same basis as those of Great Britain.” In this northwestern district of Ontario, North Wellington County, one could not come to a better place to get opinions on the pro- posed reciprocity agreement. This morning, your representative call- ed upon Senator James McMullen who was here from Ottawa to spend the week end at his home. The senator, as has been intimated only partly in Parliamentary re- ports. criticises the present pro- posals for reciprocity with the United States on the grounds of their instability and lack of busi- ness foresight. Senator McMullen says that he was in ”business in 1856, ‘when reciprocity was in vogue between Canada and the States and that he favored it then. This country and the United States were bound in an agreement at that time for ten years, and during that period, the senator said. “we flourished greatly, ow- ing to the civil .war, for they could not 'both fight and produce.” To-day, however, the senator “believes that President Tait and the Republican party are on the eve of defeat.~ and that these reci- procity measures have been adopt- ed by the ’Republicans to make up for the breach of .faith which President Taft made in not lower- ing the tariff immediately after his election, as he promised he would 'do. If reciprocity should be ad- apted for a period of ten years,‘ Senator McMullen believes that 833N103 1mm! 18 AGAINST RECIPBOCITY Senator James McMullen was a “pronounced free-trader and un- restricted reciprocist in the 18 years in which he sat in the House of Commons preceding 19.90. The Liberals knew few more effective debaters than this dough‘ty mem- ber from County Monaghan, and recognized his services with a seat in the Senate shortly after his defeat for the Commons. Here he has continued to exert an act- ive interest in the affairs of the country. The Toronto Globe has inter- viewed the senator upon the ques- tion of reciprocity, and reports him as follows: U.

Its drasrii-c features made an indelii‘ble impression on my mind, and the thoughts of its re- turn cazu‘ses me to shiver.

To one and “all, let the past be a guide to: the future. I would not accuse the Review of wilfully dragging us into the slough prepared for us by Fielding and Paterson, of Brantford, for Paterson. has a desire: to hide his shortcomings under a cloak of sanctity.

The advent of the Confederate War enhanced :the value of our products so that the balance against us during the three last years of Reform bung- ;ling was reduced to about seven millions. Should any carper con- tradict my assertions here-in. let him take the Trade and Navigat- tion returns (as I did at a for- mer period) and he will there be convinced of the damning fact that our country was plundered by Reform imbecility, for the men. of that day were. I have reason to believe, sincere in their efforts to. improve the commercial condi- tion of our country. , In 1873, by a brazen falsehood,! the Grits, under the renowned? Alex. MacKenzie,, attained to power at Ottawa. and at once opened the flood-gates of Free Trade. Our lumber woods, at that time, contained on an average: three quarters of a million men each winter, who were supplied with Yankee flour, pork., grocerâ€" ies and every article they requir- ed while their teams were fed with Yankee prairie hay and oats. and even the hotel-s in the cities were not above using the same trash. This cut Olff our home market. and reduced our farm products to the equivalent of the Yankee commodity. Look at your market prices for 1874-78. and you will find the price ranging from In.
