IP IN In? No person can predict with anv" great degree of accuracy, the re-‘ sult of the present Dominion elec-l lion. The party is by no means united. Some of the most promg inent Liberals of the party have' turned their hacks on Sir Wilfrid Lanrier. and are now standing out in bold relief against the new: policy the Government is tryingI «to force upon the country. Hon. Clifford Sifton. “the Young Napoleon of the West.” is speak-f ing‘ azainst the pact. and will have an influence towards its defeat. Sir George Ross, “the strong right arm" of the Laurier Government in days gone by. placed himself on record years ago against the es- tab‘ishment of trade re'ations with the United States. and his strong Sir George R arm" of the in days gone record years Outside of parliamentary circles. many strong Liberals are to he found. Eighteen broke party ties at once in Toronto, and are using their influence against the recipro- city agreement. Again, in Quebec, the Nationalists xx ill have to be reckoned with, and there seems no doubt of the Laurier party being weakened by their action. The Liberals may gain a little strength an the West, but they stand to lose in Ontario and Quebec. S‘) Wilfrid Laurier recently de- clared thnt if the Government be defeated he will! not act as leader of the Opposition. This in itself is an evidence of Sir Wilfrid’s in- ternai consciousness of a possi- bilitv of defeat. In previous cam- paigns .no such thoughts were ever given expression to: now, he sue: a different handwriting on the wail. No man can, at this stage of the game predict the final remit of the voting on the 2154*: of September HOLY) FASI T0 THAT In his address here a couple of weeks ago. Mr. Paterson. Minister of Customs, made a very strong appeal to the efectors to give reciprocity a trial. as a trial could do them no harm. and the agreement. if unsatisfactory could be rejected at any time Without consulting the American Goveru~ ment. We cannot reject reciprocity at any time. Reciprocity. if adopted! must be rejected by the people‘s vote in a general election. unless the Government bringing it into! effect. and holding the reins of power are willing to ask for its; repeal. If the Laurier Government; should be returned to power on? the 215t of September. the reci-l procity agreement, would, in all probability be adopted. If any one interest should find it detri- mental, or many interests shOuId find it unfavorable to the coun- trv's general welfare. the Govern- r. er .2 \v onld be very slow in listen- ing to appeals tor its 1e ec.io‘ The Government ig‘nt we..- say then "We adoged this Recigrocity I w do so by )0ur vote on the 211;: of September.

Tory, running an election camâ€"i paign on the Reciprocity issued; and then turning face about dur-‘ ing the first or second or any ses- sion of the Parliament and ack- nowledging they made a mistake. The American Government may not have to be consulted. but the electors of Canada will. unless the Government introducing the meas- ure is willing to back down and say they made a mistake. Mr. Miller knows this perfectly well. but he is not taking any special pains to let the electors know. In a 1‘ _ FOUR fact. he is telling only par: of the ° “3 H3 it can be changed at any time ecaus: WHICH IS GOOD and wild have its defeat. strong righ’t Government If the Americans want our pro- dw-ts to go in free of duty, all they have to do is to take down their tariff walls. They don‘t 0er on: food products for their own czcvxaumption, but to keep their rr-ills going, their laborers aol railroads employed. and the profit. of the finished product to rc=uru to their own coffers. The Americans are exporters of the same kind of products that We grow. and what they buy from us thc-v buy to sell after converting it into the finish-ed article. rWhy not take our raw materials, con- vert into the finished products, and 2c: the whole value out of them omselves? Whore farmers are in the major-1 ity. the Liberal canvass‘er tells them that reciprocity wild give them higher prices for their pro- ducts. When tne majority are consumers, they are told that reciprocity will reduce the high cost of living. According to their argument. the pigs win he dearer. but the pork wild be cheap- er.

This early threshing craze has become a great nui- sance, and a decided loss to the farmers in hindering the early tall v» ork on the farm, and which, we think is the cause of so many weeds to be found on the average farm at the present day. ’ihe weather for the past couple of weeks has been warm and dry. and the root‘crop is showing the effecrs.

Q i In 1903 Judge Grosscup at Chicago granted an injunction against the Beef Trust, holding that it was an Illegal ombination in the restraint of trade. As usual, the case was appealed, and in the Supreme Court in 1905, Attor- ey-General Moody sustained the de- cision of Judge Grosscup, showing that (1) members of the Trust had agreed not to bid against one another n the live stock markets of the various States, (2) temporary increases in rices were caused to induce shipping Fof cattle to the Stock Yards, (3) prices 'for meat were set, through which ship- Ements were controlled, (4) uniform {rates of credit were adopted, and black :lists were maintained. (5,) common and unfair cartage charges were made, {and less than legal shipping rates were obtained from railroads, thereby ,restraining competition. 1 At the present time the Beef Trust is looking for additional supplies from {Canada With the duties down, our «livestock, especially that from the iWest, would be taken for consumption at Chicago. The bonding privileges now allow buyers from Armours, Swifts, Morris’ and the others to come 'over and buy cattle off the Canadian markets for their export trade to Bri- tain. At the Union Stock Yards in Toronto. the largest purchases are made by these American buyers, who absorb as much Canadian stock as possible. in order to leave a greater number of cattle in the States for the domestic uses of the Beef Trust. Can- ada at present is being used to hold a large preportion of the Beef Trust’s export trade. The Chicago magnates regard their position in the British market jealously. and in the face of the Argentine Republic’s strong com- petition in Britain, the American in- terests need all the y can get from Canada. It is evident. then, that the Beef Trust has its eye on this country. Is it not better to give its buyers our cattle from our own markets for ex- port. thus controlling our own DOSi' tion. than to have the live stock in- dustry undermined and enslaved by allowing the same power that has smitten the T. nited States to have free snay in Canada? Praeident Taft Explains How He Ex- pects to Get Canadian Pulp Wood 'l’hat reciprocity will save the natur- al resources of the United States at the expense of Canada’s is set forth by President Taft in an article con- tributed by him to Leslie's Weekly. He states that as one of the objects of the Agreement and proceeds to dis« cuss the paper and pulp issue as fol- 10W5: “In order to induce the Cana- their pulp wood, it is provided in the agreement that when paper is made in Canada from wood grown on land not under export restrictions, the paper may come into the United States tree; and it is hoped that the difference of $5.75 between the duty on paper from teetricted wood and no duty on paper made from unrestricted wood will inâ€" duce the provinces to lift their restric- tions. It seems to me that this is treating the paper manufacturers of the United States fairly. It is a pro- .vision calculated to secure to them a source of supply where they can get their wood at five dollars less a. ton than in this country, with the disad- ‘ vantage ot a small competition of paper made in Canada from Canadian lgood. upon which there is no restric- h ‘o' :3?
