IP ‘ [HE DURHAM CHRONICLE ‘ a big subject in preference to those of most country Weeklies. 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. sMr. lSifton has long been. a :leading Liberal. and is still a Lib- 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 "of the campaign that he was wrong. Since then he has been opposed to it. and is opposed to nglaed 64 lbs.. and brought $3.52 each. The duty was 88 cents. Canadian sheep brought 16 cents less ,a". the Americans 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. Sheep on the Buf- tab market sell for from two to four and a half cents. 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 look over the article, and think mer it for themselves. Mr. Miller will oppose Mr. Sifton, but we are willing to accept Mr. Sifton’s View in preferenne to any Opinion that has so far been offered by Mr. Miller.

The News is Opposed to the Reciprocity Agree.â€" ment. and believing the News to be right. we give our readers the benefit of the article. The News has an able, and we think, fair editorial writer, and an opinion from 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-! erate, and the Durham Review? undertake frequently to criticize‘ the News, but to many we beleiveE their opinions are not consideredi 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.

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. The big shipments of lambs tha'ti are coming from the United 'S’tatesl to Toronto. notwithstanding a} duty of one dollar a head, doesi not give much encouragement to? farmers of a benefit arising ini the lamb trade. should reciprocity! come into effect. and the tariff} walls be taken down. The Toron-i Warld during the past few weeks? has gone into the situation prac-i tically, and instead of caricatur-ing? I the situation, has been giVing‘ photographs of the American; lambs dumped into the Toronto; markets. There is not a shadow' of doubt about the. adoption off reciprocity being an injury to; the Canadian lamb producer. So? long as the American farmers arei producers and exporters of the: same goods Canadians produce; and export, it is the most foolish; kind of nonsense to talk of reci-g procity giving a wider market to} the Canadian farmer. i Mr. J. iMcKean, of Toronto. was a visitor at W.W.

The base ball game was between Durham and Green Grove, the former getting first money. The game was a friendly one, and much enjoyed by the people.
