IP We have another article giving the opinions of Hon. Clifford Sif- ton. Mr. Miller will criticize him and give opinions diametrically opposed to those of Mr. Sifton. Now. Mr. lsifton has long been a :leading Liberal. and is still aLib- bral of very pronounced type. He said in his parliamentary speech on reciprocity that he was a strong advocate of reciprocity twenty years ago, but had come to the conclusion before the end '0! the campaign that he was wrong. Since then he has been opposed to it. and is opposed to it to-day, more strongly than ever before. Without going any fur. ther into the position taken by Mr. Siftou. we ask our readers to lock over the article, and think over it for themselves. Mfr. 'Miller will oppose Mr. Sifton. but we are willing to accept Mr. Sifton’s view What is all the talk for reciproâ€" city compared with these facts against it! Ponder it over, Mr. Farmer. FARMERS AND RECIPROCITY. “From 'I‘l'e Toronto World. July 27. Nearly every day now. live stock from the United States is brought into Toronto. the Canad- nn dutv paid thereon. and then sz‘ld again Canadian animals. Yesterday. 289 sheep from the ”States were sold on the Toronto market at '5; cents a pound. They weighed 64 lbs.. and brought $3.52 each. The duty was 88 cents. Canadian sheep brought 1-6 cents less at the - nericans were pre- ferred. That is. American sheep of better quality can be brought into Toronto, pay freight. 25 per cent. duty, and compete with the home animals.

It is up to the Ontario farmer to bear this in mind. With. say; 3t sheep and 40 hogs a year. thi; means a straight loss of $60 a Irom such a source should be of, greater weight in the community’ than the opinions of most of our local journalists. The Owen Sound Sun, the Mt. Forest Confed-f crate, and the Durham Review,‘ undertake frequently to criticize' the News, but to many we beleive? their opinions are not considered‘ of much weight, or the reading' public have not a sufficiently high sense of appreciation to give them credit for the merit they] would like to lay claim to.

The issue if; a big one, and never has more general interest been taken in Dominion affairs. In Mr. Ball. the Conservatives of Sou:h Grey have a man they need not .be ashamed. nf iii-s character, his morals, and his business ability- are unquestioned, and should he be elected to a seat in the Dom- inion Parliament, his influence will always be on the side of right. The careful way in which he manâ€" aged his own affairs spelled suc- cess for him in business, and it would be well fro the country if many more such men were elected to our legislative halls. cnouss BETTER MODELS i Vote for '83“.

The Toron-é Wt rld during the past fen v» eeks,; has gone into the situation prac- tically, and instead of car-featuringl the situation. has been giving photographs of the Ameriltani lambs dumped into the Toronto; malkets. There is not. a shadow' of doubt about the adoption off reciprocity being an injury to; the Canadian lamb producer. 803 long as the American farmers arel producers and exporters of the? same goods Canadians produce, and export, it is the most foolish: kind 0: nonsense to talk of reci-é procity giving a wider market to? the Canadian farmer. : Reciprocity, according to some of its advocates, will give the far- mers higher prices for all farm products, and give the working man cheaper food stuffs and clothing. We have never been able to See clearly the force of such a political paradox. It simply isn’t true. and any attempt to prove it otherwise will be an effort to catch the votes of the unwary. It amounts to something like this; The farmer will get more for the wheat he has to sell. and the same farmer will buy his flour cheaper. Rev. GJS.

If it is correct that postponed events are not nearly so good as the first attempt. what a great success our garden party would have been had Thursday night been a favorable one. For Mon- day night, although the weather looked threatening, we had a much larger crowd. that. at any previous one. The gate receipts amounted to $23, and as the booths and tables did a rushing business we expect the receipts to be ex- ceptionally large. The base ball game was between Durham and Green Grove, the former get-ting first money. The game was a friendly one, and much enjoyed by the people. The programme was of a somewhat impromptu nature, owing to postponement. yet a very good one. Those con- tributing to its success were Mr. TM. Hooper and Mrs. W.J. McFad-l den, in instrumental, also Mrs. G.i Lawrence, while in Vocal musicl there was the choir, MesdameosMc- Fadden and Allan, and Mr. and Mrs. McFadden, while Mr. Chas. Yeo, and Miss Myrtle Allan gave good recitations.

'We have been forcibly remind- ed for some Sundays past that the hunting seasom is close at hand by voung' lads out from town teach- ing their dogs to hunt.

Miss Anna Scott has been re- engaged as teacher in our acad- emy for the coming year, at a salary of $550.
