It used to â€" be thought that while nations settle their accounts with bills of exchange and other forms of money, in reality they 0::( exchange goods with each other; a also that if one nation bought from another very largely in excess oi its power to pay in goods it must lock to the nation it was buying from so largely to buy the securities which must be sold to pay the balance. But apparâ€" ently we have changed all that. Creat Britain takes our products fay beyond our purchases from her, and bays our securities as well. You sell us sixty for cent. of our import, but buy only 3% por cent. of our exports and rarely buy cur securities.

Mr. Hill, whose name was received with great enthusiasm, said in part, in his most interesting paper: "Instead of devoting this occasion to mutual conâ€" vratulation on our past, it should, I think, contribute something to the unâ€" derstanding of the true relations of the two great empires represented here; for, as they began their history together, the settlement at Quebec and that at Jamestown being separated by but a single year, so have the struggles of their childhood been mellowed into reâ€" spect and regard by years and adult unâ€" derstanding; and never, save after the rending of the empire by civil dissension, were there two political divisions with such opposing commercial systems and such IurlnonÂ¥ in all experiences that enâ€" ter into nationhood.

Hera It is stated that Major Johnson lost approximately $400,000 this year in conâ€" nection with his interests at Lorain, Ohio.

A few days prior to the bank transfer the _ Municipal Traction Company, of which Mayor Johnson was treasurer and chief promotéer, went into the hands of a receiver in the Federal Court, It is said that the Mayor‘s banking concern was transferred because of threatened swits against him on notes which he had endorsed for various companies in which he was interested. _ It is also known that a New York financial institution held a $30,000 note endorsed by Johnson, upon whichsnit was entered, and it was paid fo ith.

It is as clear a case of recipâ€" rocal advantage as can be found in the whole history of trade; which rests on the axiom, not always remembered in our time, that both parties to an exâ€" change of commodities may be the gainâ€" ers by the transaction, Canada Not a Suppliant. "!P_this country the policy of reciproâ€" city between the United States and Canâ€" ada has broken down popular opposition. New England favors it, the great tier of States facing the Canadian boundary and the great lakes favors it, the middle west believes in and asks for it. We have too long considered it only as a boon for us to grant and Canada to ask. That may have been true thirty years ago; it is not true toâ€"day. Not _as a suppliant but as an equal she must be dealt with. Her interest is no greatâ€" er and no less than ours, her position is independent. Both sides should put away the selfish argument of possibl(- advantage for either through reciprocity and join in the creation of a great trade zone, wherein trade as well as men may be free. From us, the older, larger and more developed community, and _ one whose past attitude has been somewhat indifferent, the invitation now should come. It should be the privilege of this place and this hour to give a new voice and force to this opinion, to open the way for the adoption of a system of reâ€" ciprocity that means not only internaâ€" tional friendliness, solidarity and muâ€" tual support, but also immense trade expansion and financial gain for both the parties concerned."

Lucknow, Nov. 23.â€" The Earl of Minto, Viceroy of India, upon being presented with a royal address here, said he declined to be persuaded by the sedition in part of India that the time was inopportune for broadening the political basis.
