Mr. Mc- s~en Dastor of the here for the past DISCUSSION INVITED and the Opposition Speakers will be allowed reasonable time. Dear Sir,â€"Please permit me, by this letter, to correct an error made by your reporters in re- portin-gmy recent meeting at the Township (Hall, Glenelg. Speaking at that meeting, I said that Mr. Brunt, of Hanover, and Mr. Davis. of Durham, had each said, or been reported to have said, that they could give fifty cents more for lambs if it were not for the United States duty. In reporting this. the Chronicle of last week said “hogs” where it should have said “lambs.” The mistake was one easily made, and was, of course, quite unintentional on your part, but I desire to have it cor- rected. I have never heard of either Mr. Brunrt or Mr. Wilson having expressed any opinion as to the way in which the duty af- fects the hog market. I am Yours truly, H. H. MILLER. We give cheerful publicity to the above correction. It is not our desire ‘to misquote anyone W'e have no doubt Mr. Miller in-e tended to say “lambs,” and that he is of the opinion that he did say “lamb-s,” but our reporter is just as positive that he said, “‘hlogs” in‘ the connection referred to. There is a mistake some place, but we are willing to give Mr. Miller the benefit of the doubt. It is quite easy to make an error. 1 either in speaking or in writing. In the above letter, Mr. Miller says, “Mr. 'Brun't of Hanover, and Mr. Davis, ‘of Durham.” =We do not think -.Mr. Miller intended to say “Mr. Davis of Durham,” but “Mr. Wilson of Durham.” His letter, over his own signature, shows this apparent error, and it is not im-. possible he might have made a mistake in his township hall ad- dress. Wednesday, Sept. 20 IN OPPOSITION TO THE Proposed Reciprocity Pact will be held under the auspices of the Canadian Section of the Imperial Mission in the In an interview with Mr. Brunt since the repont referred to, he tells us «he has not shipped a lamb to Buffalo during the past two or three years, and Mr. Wilson told us on Tuesday night it is four years since be shipped any. Both gave as their reasons that !the Buffalo market its no good, the prices .here being better.. did say “lambs.” It is present day conditions we are dealing with‘ not with the conditions that existed “six or seven years ago.” In Mr, Miller’s reference to lambs, 'the Whole force of his address was to impress on the farmers that the du'ty on lambs is a present injury. Mr. Brunt says he may have referred six or seven years ago 'to the duty being A PUBLIC MEETING To the Editor of the Chronicle an injury, but never said so since. Why did not Mr. Miner ‘tell the whole 'truth, even if, as he says, he ADDRESSES will be delivered by both of Toronto, from a Canadian and Imperial Non-partisan standpoint TOWN HALL, DURHAM GOD SAVE .Vl.“NHGHT and J.E.STARR at 8 o clock. the evening of THE KING. Sir John A. {M'acdonald did all that any one :man could do to es-4 tablish free trade with the U.,S., but since his time, conditions have altered. During the regime of 'Sir John :Macdonald, our prairies were unheard of. We had no transcontinental railways from ocean to ocean, 1110 lines of steam-'- ships on Atlantic and Pacific to carry our products to foreign» ports, 'no foreign market to a- mount to a hill of beans. Under those circumstances we sought an outlet for our surplus pro-v ducts, and were refused, because the. shrewd American saw, that having no foreign market, we would have to do business with him in spite of ourselves. Conditions have changed since; then. We have established ourl They say that the American un-iy der Free Trade will develop our natural resources, but We are de- veloping them ourselves as fast as 9,000,000 demand, and if the Amer-4 ican undertakes to develop them it will be for the benefit of those to the south of us, 'Who are almost up against it for the raw material, The following letter from Mr. Edward 'Brougham 'was not intend- ed for publication. It was his private opinion expressed to his uncle, Mr. Geo. Sackett, of Egre- monlt, and no person. perhaps. will be more surprised than Mr. Brougham :to see it in type. We learn from Mr. 'Sacket>t that he was a Liberal, and well known in Egre- mon‘t before going West. We look upon ‘the letter as a good one, and feel that the writter is ele pressing his conscientious belief on a momentous political issue. After a [few introductory words, of a private nature, he says to his aunt. ers. Sackett: Here is [Canada with an area just as large as the U.‘S., with her vast store of timber, coal, millions upon millions of acres of raw prairie land untouched, mine-s bursting with their load of precious metals. and only'a population of 9,000,4‘ 000 to draw upon it. What more natural thing than :that our big neighbor to the south, Who by wasteful methods, and a greed for gold, has exhausted his natural resources, should cast longing eyes upon our treasure chest, and we propose to take down the bars and let them have free access to all our natural resources. No sir, not for mine. Before proceeding farther, uncle' I :must confess that I am no party man. I vote according to my own ' convictions. During the two preâ€"‘: vious elections, I was a LiberaL' because in :my opinion the Liber-J‘ als had the most agressive railway policy, and if this Y’W-estern country 3 is in need of anything, it certainly E does need more railways. But in'| this election, I intend to vote on' the Conservative ticket, because it is :my belief that if free trade be-l tween the two countries is estab-4 lished, and remains in force for a period of ten or twelve years, we will become a nation without our; own industries, Our infant indus~’ tries cannot hope to compete sucq’ cussful'ly with the big trusts of‘ the U.?S.A., consequently we will become a nation of buyers, de-l pending upon Uncle Sam to make§ and manufacture “for us to a great; extent, the bare necessities ofi life. The U.‘S. as a nation are at the end of their natural resources,| their raw land is all gone, their‘I pulpwood areas are fast disap-t; pearin-g, almost gone, and the} end of their timber limits is inI sigh-,t and with a population off 90,000,000 to be supplied, this is a’ might y serious problem I I’m going to slight you this time, and have a talk with uncle, but you may put your ear doWn 'to -the keyhole and hear what is going on, and probably you may be surprised «to hear that I’m going to -ta1-‘k about Free Trade.

WESTERN LIBERAL OPPOSES RECEPROCITY oumam a351,, THURSDAY, SEPYEMBER 14,1911. l The farmer seems to have an 'idea in his head that he will get more for 'his produce under free ,trade than he gets under protec- Eti‘on. Don’t be fooled. Take hors- ’es for instance. In this .Western “country there is a great bio demand for horses, and to supply the ever increasing demand, our Western horse buyers go to Eastern Canada for their supply, but remove [the duty against ‘American horses, and our buyers i'will go south for their supply, where horses are so much cheaper than in lEastern Canada, and your lhorses won‘t be worth the raising. !The same is true of cattle, hogs i and poultry. Keep your eyes on the calendar for Sept-ember 26th and 27th, and come to the Durham Fall Show. three great trade routes from east to west. We have facilities at Fort iWilliam, Port Arthur, WinniA peg, (Owen Sound and Montreal, for handling our great grain trade, and wheat boats for carry- ing it across :the seas to a foreign market. We have spent millions in improving our harbors and in deepening our canals. John Bull has poured in hundreds of millions of dollars to build the C.P.R., the Canadian "Northern, and the Grand Trunk Pacific. Now do we pro« pose to do away with the estab-. lished order of things, and do business with our neighbors to the south of us, whose only object in seeking free trade with us is to cut us out from our foreign mar- ket so that we won’t compete With him, and at the same time give him a free hand in hogging all our natural resources? Are we going to do it? There are a mighty lot of people in this country who seem to be bent on doing so, especially among the farming communities. Lethbridge, Aug. 27th. 1911.
