It is easy to conceive of two men having diametrically opposite views on the question, and each politicians with insincerjty. “root and 'branch? Is this in itself not enough to show how serious- ly politicians should be taken in their campaign speeches? In the Recipromty question Mr Mill-er knows the arguments that have been advanced on both sides of the House. but the listener will wait in vain to hear him argue on the other side. And we might go ‘further and say that if Mr M..l- er were an independent elector, he. might weigh the arguments and form a different grudgment entire- ly from “the opinions expressed by himself to-day' both in the House and on the hustings For eighteen years the Liberals condemned the National P01Lcy This statement wzll scarcely be! challenged 'by anbosdy to-day. 1 While in opposition they could say nothing .good about it.

VVhil-e We admit that Mr. Miller is a good platform man we are not losing sight of the fact that Mr. Miller is a politician, and as We have always given Mr. Mil- ler credit for ‘being a good plat- !orm man and we think he is im- proving with age, :Some years ago she used to take bitter spells and make remarks he would not now use in addressing a mixed audience of political friends and enemies 1:11 this respect Mr Miller has impnov- ‘ -ed and the improved condition gives him a stronger influence in l dealing with his opponents and; permits him at the same time t) maintain his dignity and hold the respect '0»! his friends One of our correspondents seems to think we are hide-bound b2- «cau-se we couldn’t swallow an-i endorse [everything Mr. Miller said in his address on Reciprocity With many the won-d “hide-bound" is sort of a stereotyped expres- sion mad-e to fit anybody or ev- erybody Who doesn’t exactly think as they think.

' “The awh-oie tendency of this ar- rangement is to induce the farmer to adapt his raw material to the United States market. The whole tendency is to do away with the by-products which are so essential for intensive farming, the whole tendency is to break down the system of interrelated industries which make the present prosper- ity of the province of Ontario and the other provinces.” “Ontario raised $250,000,000 worth of farm produce last year and no- body heard that there was no market for any of that produce.” “Win the proposition assist in transferring American capital to the construction of flactorles in Canada, which has been going 0.: in Oanada for several years past ‘alt :a very rapid rate?

This should not be the - case. and we have little doubt that ,‘the location is one [of the con-n Itributing factors to this condition of things. ,The up town people §will come to the business part of .the town anyway, as a rule, and ‘a down town location for the new :building would be no inconveni- ience to that portion of the com- munity. There may be other causes: if the up town people are 'more literary in their tastes, it I l .is all the more reason that the educational benefits of the new Ilibrary should be brought nearer 'to those who need it worst. They “have to help to pay for its main- tenance. and they certainly should not be ignored. In both Guelph and Fergus, the centre of popula- ‘ tioâ€"n was ascertained, and the - building erected at the nearest ‘ point. If the site chosen fills the ‘ bill in that particular, we have no . objection to offer. but we are ] quite .sure it is not the centre, and not likely ever will ‘be. Why then, should three or four citizens drag the; building to. a location far, from the centre of population. simply to gratify their own 3 Wishes? I" l. !

It will be used as a reading and recreation room by citizens of the town, as well as visitors 1from the country at all times and seasons.
