Hereford made an interesting re- mark: “‘They don’t get enough to buy good beer,” he said, and further dis- played a candid indifference to the cost of living, for there is more to live with in Brampton than there had ever been in the Welsh marshes. A little later we were drinkingâ€"oh, nothing worse than cider and ginger ale; for at Brampton they get their local option straight, when Secretary Akehurst observed that they were get- ting the effects of free trade in the Old Country, all right. all right. He had been reading of the railway strike. The Hereford man looked at me doufitfully, and I answered the ques- tion he didn’t ask to his perfect con. tent. Another spoke: “Have you ever been in Hereford?” “Never in the city, but once I bought apers at the station, and was cailed ack for handing the bookstall clerk a bad two-shilling piece.” “Through it many times, but only stayed off there once,’ ’said I. “I come from just over the river, in the other county,” he said. “From Caversham. "" I hazarded. “Yes, " he said. “And I’ ve been here five years, and I like it. ” “Do you know Reading?” said the mechanic on my left. We were going away from the meet- ing where Canon Walsh had shown himself to be a Britisher through and through. and had said that he had been watching the movement and say- ing nothing for several months. Brampton has less than three thou- sand population, but 20 per cent. of them are said to be British-born. The factories employ nearly all of them. A branch of the Canada-British As- sociation having b formed, the Secretarv of theQ on nof England be- came its secretar3. I was only outside North Bay staâ€"T tion a couple of hours: but long enough to give the "Globe" corres-é pondent an opportunity to perpetrate one of the most perfect examples of; garbling I have ever seen. The Secre-g tary of the Sons of. England very pro~i perly said that the Society 110uld have: nothing to do 11ith the meeting. This: was distorted into an official repudia- tion of the British born movement. “A local barrister, ” 11' ho turned out to be the May.or 11as repozted as enter- ing the lists which led to c011tr01'.ersy with me and disorder in the meeting? and as being finally prevented from; speaking. The facts were that the: Mayor imputed untruthfulness to me,i which the meeting as Well as I re-l aented and compelled him to with-E draw.

The Welsh are quite abundant at the 800. Many of them are in the Steel Works. where they don‘t lose their gift of song. NORTH BAY. Mr. Boyce is a Yorkshireman; a lawyer with brains. His speech very gently bewrays him, for he comes from Wakefield. As far as I can learn there are no adventitious aids to his popularity. and the British vote will have no difficulty in cleaving to him. ---â€"-u uuuuuu Ivubo, xq the Liberal candidate again. The Minnie M. has ended her political career, but the bush poll is a menace to the dignity of the ballot box. I do not pretend fully to understand the peculiar ethics of bush polling; but 1 do know that the Englishman who is standing for re-election in West Ale goma only fears defeat through un- scrupulous use of opportunities in the remoteness of the bush. This originality is said to extend to the Government side of electioneer- ing. The candidate for whom the Minnie M. carried foreigners to poll where they gave fraudulent votes, is _' 'V---c â€"a grandson of chdvtlanddevâ€"fio has been in Scofland and liked it. “You bet,” said he, “I’ll be there with lard in my hair and my ear! pinned back.” They tell you that at the 800 things are very different from what they are “in the East.” They like to think they are \Vestern. There is flavour 0f the bush and mines, as well as of the un~ salted sea about the place; andoa quality of speech here and there that is breezy, after its own fashion. We met a prominent citizen, who was asked if he was going to the meeting Well, there was a bull-dog and a lumber Jack on the floor, alongside the speaker’s table; and the bull-dog kept silence as long as he could; but when the audience loudly resented the interruptions of a too Spirituously minded person, the dog joined the racket, and was led to a less exciting like. wwu, three parts full of expatriated Canadians and home of a newspaper that comes over daily on the ferry: and pays court to the Canadian Soq with abundant views of its doings, The border influence is a curious ele ment in llfe here.

We needed time to consol: date our forces and to bring into national sentiment the aliens to our genius. Instead we are invited to reâ€" verse our method for one Which th' shrewd, experienced leaders of the Republic are sure will deflect the life blcod of commerce into their arteries. and make our future commercially subsidiary to theirs. They have warned us. It is time we warned ourselves. ,' Here is something to cling toâ€"that gthe English-speaking peoples are the : great potentiality in the modern : world. They are broadly divided into (the Empire and the Republic. In the 3 re-adjustment of influence that is tak ,‘ing place within the Empire Canada 3 is rapidly advancing towards the firs: I place. Canada was growing along splendid 1y from this point of View. The only transcontinental railway of America was ours as a means of expanding our trade in our own way. The Govern ment undertook a second transconti nental, and is heavily aiding a third. Canada has the advantage of bein" alongside oi the United States. From being neglected by Doanmg Street and regarded by the United States as a very poor relation to be acknow. merce in Canadian channels, and the extending of the right idea of Cana- dian national prestige, in its relation to international and inter-Imperial affairs. The brains of Canadian statesman- shipâ€"-I mean statesmanship; not the erection of a post- -office here, of a bridge there, and the handing out of a job some“ here elseâ€"â€"must be direct- ed to making clear the tw-o fold, funda~ mental basis of our national progress â€"the development of Canadian com- You cannot expect a farmer in the Saskatchewan valley to be well in formed about the possibilities of trou ble that may lie within our connection with India, Australia and South Afri- ca. He is the great statesman who, knowing all the intricacies of state- craft, which he cannot publish, can guide the great body of public opinion aright on the big, underlying princi- pies which dominate national action. Canada is a miracle within the Ern- pire, as the Empire is a miracle among the nations of the earth. The impos- sible has been achieved. They used to say that you could not allow an overseas Dominion of the Crown to have responsible government in ex- actly the same way as the United kingdom. They said that a Colonial Governor should not be compelled to accept the advice of his Ministers when they had a majority of the popu- lar House. But these things are done and the Imperial bond is closer and \x'arrner than it has ever been. All this means that the obligation upon Canadian statesmanship is more subtle and tremendous than it has ever been. We have established a Depart- ment of External Affairs to handle our peculiar three-cornered relationships, but this Department is not Specially charged with the duty of keeping our internal population well informed about the niceties of our external re lations. “Junior Partner” hasn’t a very cock- a-WhOOp sound. It is a bigger name than it looks. Mr. Sii‘ton, in a mem- orable speech against Reciprocity in the House of Commons put the fact more picturesquely: “The Rising Ho )0 of the British Empire.” ' You know firms with the junior partners become tit: Pillars of Reliance The John Bull Unlimited is one of them. Just so. The way the British Em- pire keeps together is a regular Chi- nese puzzle to all sorts of clever statesmen. They can’t make it out at Washington. Sometimes we can’t quite make it out ourselvesâ€"this loose, strong, splendid partnership that girdles the world and has none of the ordinary forces of Imperial compul- sion about it. The Dominion is one of the junior partners. What these people are most puzzled about is the way this old John Bull keeps the affections of his children, who have become his partners. “Why,” they say, “he used to declare that they would soon leave him, and here they are closer than ever to the Old Gentleman with the side Whiskers and the peculiar pants.” John Bull has regarded himself as a good-natured soul who is taking care of a few bits of land scattered around the globe in the interests of civiliza- tion generallyâ€"a sort of political philanthropist. The other fellows in the international field don’t regard him in that light. They think he is a grasp- ing old codger who, instead of being satisfied with control of nearly all the strategic strongholds of land and sea power, puts up an awful howl as soon as anybody else looks around for a second-rate coaling station, or a bit of rock from which his traders may saunter into a hitherto undiscovered market. There are ail sorts of fun'ny readings abroad about the firm of John Bull Unlimited. and eSpecially about the Old Fellow himself. He seldom takes a good look at himself, and until lately he hasn’t cared a gramme what other peeple thought of him. Eurona. tween tin aim is {11: middle 0 The staple line‘s?E which 'represent over 90 per cent. of the farmer‘s ex- penditure, have only increased 14.3 per cent, while the goods he sells have inâ€" veased 35.7 per cent.

It may be said, without much exaggeration. that the .--Xmez~i.r:an farmer is responsible for the upbuild- ing of the faetory. He has voted stead- lly for half a century to give 1-rotection to the- extent of the differs-moo in cost of production between this country and any country that desires to sell in our markets. \‘.'as that right or wrong? T’Vas it wise for the farmers to do that? There was no market at home. They wanted a market as near the factory as they could bring it. I should inquire how the United States had become such a great man- ufacturing country. and should read carefully what Mr. James Wilson, the Scotsman V110 is Secretary of the Agriculture of the United States, has said:â€" I would have a peculiar interest in the development and dignity of my province and of my country, from a patriotic point of View. I should know that in the building up of Canada the climactic factor has played a vital part. Just as the far north of Canada is the backyard of the southern por- tions of the Dominion, so, unless there has been something to check the flow of trade south across the boundary line, instead of there being big cities in Canada manufacturing for the far- mers, and buying his produce at good prices, our industrial centres, without which no country can be really pros- perous, would have been in the United States. Another consideration that would in- fluence me. 1 think, as a farmer hav- ing to decide my attitude towards a vital national question would be the knowledge that most likely some, if n0t most, of my children would leave the farm, and that I should he ambi- tious for them to achieve the best pos- sible result in other walks of life, and i should remember that nearly all the best services of the nation hate been performed by rubes who were raised on the farm. The farmer who takes wide interest in public questions is the man show: all others who should be able to grasp the great forces that originate and govern political action, because he is detached from many petty things that afflict city people, and because his closeness to nature helps him to dis- cern the processes of national change and growth which are always behind political action. In politicsâ€"â€"-not the fussy little manoeuvreings between rivals for office that We sometimes dignity by the nameâ€"-it is dead true that whatsoever 3 country sows that will it also reap. . Many people tell us that the farmer thinks of nothing but price. I believe they are mistaken, important as the price is. I am very chary of talking to farmers about their relationship to La. commercial-political question, be- ?cause, having left the farm, I leave Electuring to farmers to those who know nothing about farming except what they see in the papers and ob- serve from train or automobile. The best I can do is to size up the situa- tion as I believe I would if I were farming again. remembering the long days of foil. the short nights of rest, the aching limbs and hardened hands, that used to belong to one’s daily rustle with the earth. Half the controversy that troubles the world arises not because people give different answers to the same question, but because they ask differ- ent questions, and they approach pub- glic affairs from different points of Eview. In this Reciprocity business pne man sees only a few schedules. lAnother discerns a change in the temper of the national life. } When clever politicians 00118.1): e to make a slog an they generally make a mistake.

One even- ing the caller, seated on the sofa, had taken the tot on his knee and had let her lean back into a nest of com- iortable cushions.
