This. and the printing and other contracts with the ‘3“..Ua. wharfs, oes not leave any great amount which have lately been exposed. d of glory to be collected from that quarter. We are forced to admit that the Review is right when it says, in referring to Reciprocity. “that the States came seeking, and more than met us half way.” We’ll go farther and say that the States would come the whole way if they thought there was any chance of their getting their hands on our natural resources, anddeveloning them to the benefit of themselves and their factories. The States always did “come more than half way, when they saw a good thing for “the States.” But if it’s such a mighty good thing for the States. that they are so awfully willing to come “more than half Way,” we think it‘s about time for the other fellow to open his eyes and see what they are coming after. W'e do think that Reciprocity is a good thingâ€"for the States: and we think now, more than we ever did before, that Reciprocity is a bad thing for Canada. But as we have all along contended. the Government‘s immigra- tion policy, conservation policy. or its record, whether good orbad, .is not the issue. Reciproci;y. and Reciprocity only is the issue, and it is very significant that the Review keeps away from the main question, and tries only to impress on the electorate what a fine man Mr. Miller is.

Reciproci-y. and Reciprocity only is the issue, and it is very significant that the Review keeps away from the main question. and tries only to impress on the electorate what a fine man Mr. Miller is. We know Mr. Miller is a fine man, and we have, so far. kept strictly away from Mr. Miller during this Whole campaign. We have no fault to find with Mr. Miller, other than that he is a supporter of Reciprocity, an Agreement we consider detrimental to the interest of Canada and the Canadian people. But now, the fight is over, and all that remains to be done is the polling of the votes. which we hope Will be cast FOR CANADA, AND NOT FOR PARTY; cast with a full understanding of the cast for the good of Canada, and the seriousness of the situation: ation-s of the world. advancement of our big Dominion among the n success of ls what Canada most needs to=day. We are Prosperous and Prospering under the old Policy and should not Disturb it. The country, as a whole, has enioyed many years of prosperity. The beginning of that prosperity dates back to the introduction of the National Policy in 1879. The Liberals themselves will admit that prosperity prevailed during the eighteen years the Conservative Government operalted that Policy. They claim also that the country was more prosperous under the succeeding fifteen years of Liberal ruie. under the same National Pol'.cy. They say the reason for the greater success is because the Liberals know better than the Con- servatives. how to operate the Policy. Whatever the reason the country has been in a state of healthy prosperity for the. past thirty-three years, and the evident es are that similar prosperity will continue for years to come, under an undisturbed National Policy. The National Policy has made 900d, .iS making good: and Will COD- tinue to make good, whether oper-.ted by a Liberal or a Conserva- tive Government. If times were-hard, with factories out of employ- ment. men out of work, and a poor and uncertain market for our products. there might be a cry for a change of policy, but this is not our condition at the present time. Our industries are nearly all busy. the labormarket is good, and we are living in a period of peace and plenty. Why then should we try to disturb a policy that has been giving. and wil give prosperity to all classes in the community? The introduction of the National Policy followed a period of depression. and the people .in 1878 felt the need of a change of policy. rather than a change of Government. What we want now is a change of Government rather than a change of policy, and were it not that reciprocity has been made «the big issue of the contest. big revelations would be brought to light showing the misdeeds of the Liberal Goveinment during the last two or three terms of office. The reciprocity issue, which should never have been made a question of party politics, is overshadowing their many wrong doings, and prevents many exposures that would other- wise bemade in the present iconte.t. When times are good, and things are working out well under a long tested policy, it is hard to conceive why a change should be made, to disturb our condi- tions. Mr. Millemthe representative in this riding has been changing just as Sir Wilfrid Laurier made changes in his political opinions. When Sir Wilfrid prayed for the success of the new transcontinental three 91' {our years ago, Mr. Miller was in full sympathy with his leader. Now, on the reciprocity issue, which will most assuredly injure the. Our east and west railways were the result, to a large extent, of the National Policy. It took the country many years «to get our present excellent transportation l. cilities. The passing of reciprocity mum, and will, in a large measure destroy the earning power of these roads, notwithstanding the act that the country has to put the enormous sum of two hundred million dollars towards the cost of construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific.

M _..-__-~â€"- .â€" Last year Ontario shipped $10,000,- 000 worth of horses to Western Canada. Under Reciprocity the West will buy their horses from Montana, the Dakotas, Idaho and Oregon. Western Canada is the only good and reliable horse market in the World to-day. At present it belongs to the Ontario farmer, unless it is voted awav this Thursday If the Americans want our pro- ducts. let them take down their own tariff walls. Let Canada run her own show, and make her tariffs at Ottawaâ€"â€" not at =Washingiton. The Review can’t boast this time that Mr. Miller won the canâ€" test without the aid of outside help. A vote for rBall is a vote against Reciprocity. A vote for Miller is a vote for Reciprocity. Taft. and the big American Trusts. Reciprocity will hit our cement industry to the extent of [five cents 'a barrel. That on our present an- nual output would mean over conditions it has hard enough work to exist. and we (10th think our citizens would like to see it killed by their votes. EXGHANGING THE SUBSTANCE FOR l'HE SHADOW. There seems to be a general the commun.ity,- especiaily Where only one paper is read, and that of local persuasion, that this reci- procity pact, whatever else is ruined, the farmer is bound to gain. That :this supposition is false, is clear upon closer investi- gation. Let us take a few of the facts. To begin with, 't is true m at the farmer will gain on some of his products. It is universally ad- mitted in the root growing distâ€" ricts that on turnips there will he a small gain. Barley is a more problematiczal question. L nâ€" doubtedly the imposition of 30¢. a bushei did make ,our farmers feel that it would be more profitable to so in for growing other things. and It might seem reasonable to suppose that taking off the 30 'cents would revive our barley growing. But that is .not neces- thriving, we can on equal :terms at best no means clear that the market. But n' regain the market, ' mean? It means ch And What of horses and cattle? What will reciprocity do for this most important branch of our On- Ontario to the West last year,‘ $10.000,000 worth of horses. The; West is our main buyer. But what 1 will happen when the duty is re-{ moved? Are there no horses in' Dakota and Oregonâ€"a cheaper brand of horses that the Westerner iust starting up Wiil'be glad to buy? As soon as reciprocity is introduced the West will be flood- ed with the poorer brand of how- es, because they are cheaper. the; breed of Canadian horses will be‘ deteriorated, and the Ontario in- dustry will be irrevocably crip- Died. As for the American market for; horses and cattle. except for very; special kinds, it is not as good asf our own Canadian market. Everyâ€"i body knows that it is Liverpool? prices which regulate our meat: prices. It is true that in the! United States there is a class of; people who can afford, and do'i afford to buy very superior meat? the choicest and most special on‘ «the market. Canadians cannot and do not buy such fine meat. If, therefore you have regard only to [quotations which deal in this Every particular class of meat, you lwill see superiority in the Amerv gican market. But such meat is 'not 5 per cent. of the whole pro- Educt. W'hat our farmers have to llook to is not the particular prize lbeast which can always bring a ‘fancy price, but the average beast which, as a matter of fact, brings a fancy price any day. bigger in the United States than elsewhere But farmers are not raising jumpâ€" ers and riders generally. What they have to consider, and What they make their profits out of are the average horses, which sell in markets anywhere. Is our farm- er, for a paltry gain on turnips. and an uncertain gain on barley. going to sacrifice a splendid, profitable, and sure industry. where he stands unrivalled? These are stubborn facts which the Liberal newspapers are find- ing it hand to circumvent. The cry that we find a market of 90,000,000 people opened to us is soon drowned in the uproar which en- sued when it is realized that 90.- 000.000 peopie also may compete in our market. It is easy to quote‘ enema] prices in Buffalo. or special prices in Toronto, But if the extra freight is considered, i‘.‘ tDarticular market fluctuations are allowed for, it is generally found ithat the prices in Toronto are isunerzor, in spite of Liberal itwisting. It is indeed hard 5 to 'explain to a level headed man ghow he is to gain by sharing an- ‘o-ther's hard times. and sacrificing ! :his own prosperity. a better price in Canada than m the Uni-ted States.
