interesting hour looking it over.Mr.Norton\u2019s courteey in explaining the modus oper andi of the place, and patient anewers to our many questions was the thing that made us glad we had the ego to call.Every trade has its exclusively interesting features and the granite industry is full of important things that would escape the \u2018\u2018temderfoot,\u201d and we would have come away with just a composite impression of the industry.Mr.Norton sells nearly all his pro- duot to Ospadion customers.We wondered as we were looking about, what eflect reciprocity would have on this business.As we looked at the great basin being formed in the granite by the quasrymen, we asked how deep he (Mr.Norton) supposed they would bave to quarry to exhaust the granite, and he replied: I have never seen that done in a quarry, and the quality of the granite improves, as a rule, the lower it is quarried.We were surprised at the almost endless detail of the business.Mr.Norton is working about 50 men.His quarry is a fine one, and the quarrying bas reached a depth of about 30 to 35 feet, with a diameter of about 900 feet.The granite interest in this section, while it is large, impressed ue as in its infancy, in endeavoring to measure is future growth.TOWN TOPICS.Mrs.Carrie Bryant and daughter Grace have been spending ten days at Willoughby, and after spending a day or two here, returned for a

evening on the novel subject: The Mathematics of Christianity,\u201d and it was one of the strongest talks we ever heard from this pulpit.It was much more than ingenious, it wae a wise appeal for righteousness.The speaker considered his subject under four heads: Division, subtraction, addition and multiplication.The proper division of effort and Bible truth; the subtraction or eliminatiou of every false note and effort for the sake of Christian efficiency; the addition of all needed qualities to make for the same noble and truly successful life, and the multiplying of moral and spiritual strength by ueefulness, by doing for others.It was certainly a very helpful talk, for it was for the six working days of the week, sane and practical.Miss Plerce\u2019s solo work wae a fine complement to the service./ Col.H.8.Haskell has just returned from an enjoyableauto run.He made Rutland, Vt.164 miles the first day, in eight hours and used 9'; gallons of gasolene.The second he made Sara toga, then to Troy and Albany, stopped at Schenectady to visit a cousin, Mr.Ora Clark, one of the superintendents in the Genera! Electric\u2019s Works.His son Sheafe ment hin at Pough- keepsie, the Col.and Mrs.Haskell going on to New York City by rail, Sheafe driving the car to Stamford, Conn.74 miles in 3 hours.The Col.said he did not feel equal to handling his car in the city.They returned from Stamford via Springfield, Mass.where Mr.CO.H.Kathan joined the party.They stopped over at Brattle- boro and spent a night at Jeromes Hale\u2019s homey tavern at Wells River.The Col.\u2019s remarks upon the roads he found and the picturesqueness of the route were decidedly favorable to Orleans County.The variety and beauty of our hills and roadside, he was quite ready to admit, surpassed anything enroute.The run covered 847 miles, and he allowed us to see his expense, and for gasolene and o}l it was $10.56, making the cost per \u201cmile, one and twenty-four one hundredths of a cent.He drove.the car the whole distance, exoopt the 74 miles by his son.He was fortunate in not having a penny even to pay out for repairs.This is of course à compliment to the Hudson.He said one of the pleasantest features of the trip was to manipulate the throttle himeelf.Town Topics continued on Eight page.ent td DID KIPLING WRITE IT?British Journal Camnot Conceive of Judging Value of Wheat Market dy U.5.Murder Statisties.Last Thursday the Montreal Siar published à full page anti-reciprocity \u2018telegram?\u2019 purporting to come from Rudyard Kipling.The authenticity of the Star's telegram is doubted by some of the British press.Commenting on this subject the London Leader says: \u201cUnless the Montreal Star has been victimized by a bogus telegram, Kipling has been unburdening himself of the most astounding and mischievous nonsense, regarding reciprocity.Kipling does not explain where the \u2018ten to one\u2019 odds come in.The obvious view is that when two countries are exchanging market facilities the small country which gets the large market is doing much better for itself than the country which gets the small market, and that is logically what it ought to be.From tae protectionists viewpoint the United States is & very wicked country with a much higher percentage of murders than Oanada, but if Canadian wheat goes free into the United States somehow or other the whole crop of murderous propensities will be carried into Canada by the wheat trucks on their return journey.\u201d

buildings to .e erected by the United States at San Juan, Porto Ricu, for use as a post office, court house and custom house.Wood is to be practically excluded from the structure; the only place | about the building where wood will be employed will be iu the window sashes on one side of the edifice.The interior doors will be of rattan.The reason why wood is being avoided by the government in this case is because there is a small ant indigenus to the island of Porto Rico which eats its way up through wooden chairs, doors and desk: and makes them spongy on the inside.Effects of Overeating.Don\u2019t eat too much,\u201d says \u201cWhat.to-itat.\u201d Overeating is responsible for many of the Lis that affiict humanity.It brings on various diseases, and it predisposes to many kinds of infections.The same stricture may be applied to overdrink- ing.It one has been so foolish aa to eat or drink too much, however, the best thing is to remain in the open a.r till the eLects are overcome.Nothing is so good for an overloaded stomach and a heavy head ss great drafts of fresh air.Every lover of \u201cPickwick\u201d remembers how the joie ly Pickwickians had to take twenty mile

caribou that.] ever shot,\u201d said Dr.Oscar H.Sellengins, \u201ccame my way in a somewhat peculiar man® ner.I was up in the New Brunswick country for big game and my guide and myself had tramped about the country for hours without seeing any.We were going through the woods when the guide remarked, \u2018Well, just on the spot where you are standing & doctor from Boston got a caribou last year.Maybe we'll pee one now.The guide had scarcely got through talking when I happened to turn around and there was one of the big animals tramping along, but beyond gunstiot.He was coming my way, however, and 1 prepared for him.\u201clI aimed between two trees and just as his head appeared, fired and he crashed down and was dead when we got to him.\u201d\u2014Columbus Despatch.The First Champagne.When champagne was first în- troduced into England it was stil] red wine.How to make it sparkling and effervescent was the invention of Dom Perignon, a Benedictine monk of the Abbey of Hautvilliers, who dled in 1718.The secret was discovered about 1692 and revolutionized the trade of the district.Whether it was entirely the old monk's own invention has been called in question, but it is cer tain that he was the first to use corks for closing the bottles of wine, which up to that time had been stopped merely by hemp soaked in ofl.Not until the end of the eighteenth cen tury did the sparkling wine become favored in England.Byron\u2019s Grammar School.J.Pittendrigh Macgillivray, sculptor has informed the committee that he will have the Byron statute for Aberdeen completed by

diminish, The treating evil is \u2018greater than arifik itself, because the man who is treated is always expected to treat back.If we stamp nut treating we shall have done something to make England

correspondence Louleville J cm0 en Notes From the Hatley Township W.oT U.Record Book.Ab exceedingly pleasant meeting of the W.O.T.U.took place Wednesday afternoon at \u2018\u2019The Bowers\u201d on the lake.Mrs.A.Oox was hostess, assisted by Mre.Monroe.The wide verandah afforded room for the ladies, who were seated thereupon during the devotional exercises and short programme prepared.The subject taken up was the outlook, opinions, etc., of those well versed on probibition in Maine.Itis generally conceded that there will be \u201ca big fight\u201d put up there by the anti-prohibitionists to repeal the law which has been in force over fifty years.The prohibition party are equally determined and a campaign is on in which the best speakers and workers are engaged.Oomrades from all over the country will help by their presence, money and prayers.There is one thought which étands out prominently.Nota church in all Maine will open its doors for the use of the license party, and from all churches will go up prayers to God for victory, by thousands of Christians hearts.The plan for the young campaigners for prohibition is taking wonderfully well, thousands of children are signing the muster roll and wearing the badge promising to do all they can to help the law.Anna Gordon is geperal director and speaking constantly at County Conventions in the schools, etc.A prominent clergyman voiced the sentiment of many, when he said the crusade of the young campaigners is of tremendous importance and will be blessed of God.Nothing thus far has enraged the liquor people so much as the young people\u2019s campaign.If there is a human being who has a right toa voice in the battle it is the woman and the child for they suffer the most from the saloon.Among the talented help within the State and outside will be, Mrs.Katherine Leut Stevenson, Massachusetts Btate President; Captain Hobson, Gen.A.8.Doggett, Prof.Spaid, of Delaware; Prof.John

and to be done in Maine between now and September 11th.During the afternoon Annie Edson recited \u201cOnly a Pansy Blossom\u2019 very nicely and the readings by several different ones were \u2018instructive on the chosen subject.A vote was taken which was unanimous in giving the proceeds of the \u2018\u2018afternoon tea\u201d to the Maine campaign fund, to be handed Miss Strout, who would convey the same.The \u2018\u201ctea\u2019\u201d then followed in the camp dining room, where all were seated at three tables in relays of twelve each.The spread was fully up to the expectations and much enjoyed.Before nightfall all had departed to their various homes, some to the other camps along the shore, others to the village and to North Hatley and farm domiciles about, feeling that the outing and conferring together in this novel manner had done them good.North Hatley Union met with Mrs.J.Robinson.The President read the 138th Psalm.Sang Rock of Ages, foi- lowed by prayer.Mrs.McConnell then took charge of the meeting, providing a programme on medical temperance.The readings brought out interesting facts concerning the percentage of alcohol in patent medicine, Jamaica Ginger, etc.Mrs.Robinson contributed a poem, The Illness of Deacon Roger\u2019s Wife.Mrs.Marggraf sang The Beautiful City.The prize essay on Humane Edueation, written by a scholar of the Abbott Corner school, was read.Sang Blest be the Tie to close.A pice tea was provided by the hostess.Adjourned to meet with Mrs.Merrill next.Ayer\u2019s Cliff Union convened at the charch with a small

would enjoy all the benefits of the reciprocity agreement in regard to fleh and other natural products, and it ie confidentiy predict- od that the only annexation which is likely to result from reciprocity ie the bringing into Canada of Britain\u2019s oldest colony in North America.\u201d -

Ranch.HOMESTEAD IS A PALACE Don Luis Terrazas, of OChihauhau, Employs 2,000 Cow Punchor, ters\u2014Hle Ouns 1,000,000 Cattle, 700,000 Sheep, 100,000 Horses.The biggest farm\u2014if \u2018\u2018farm\u201d it can be called\u2014is that owried by Don Luis Terrasas in \u2018the State of Cbi- haubau, Mexico, which -\u2018 measures from north to south 150 miles and from east to west 200 miles, or 8,- 000,000 acres in all.On its prairies and mountains roam 1,000,000 head of cattle, 700,000 sheep and 100,000 horses.The \u201cfarm house\u201d is probably the most magnificent in the world for it cost £400,000 to build and is more richly furnished than many a royal palace.On the homestead alone are employed a hundred servants.The gardens are superbly.Iaid out, the stables more magnificent than those of the German Emperor and there is accommodation for 500 guests if necessary.Ncattered over this vast ranch are 8 hundred outlying stations, each one of which has charge of a certain portion of the estate.rhe horseman, cow punchers line riders, shepherds and hunters number 3,000 and the Yerrazas ranch is the only one in the world which maintains its own slaughtering \u2018and packing plant.Each year 150,000 head of cattle are slaughtered, dressed and packed, and 100,000 sheep.Don Luis personally superintends the different industries on his ranch, covering many thousands of miles on horseback during a twelvemonth.Don Luis was at one time Governor of Chillauhau, but public life did not suit him; it was too quiet, and he preferred to spend his life riding over the plains and looking after his own enterprises, He ls three times as rich as any other man in Mexico and has the name of being liberal and generous toward his workpeople.Don Luis is a very bandeome man, married to a beautiful wife.He ts the father of twelve children\u2014seven sons and five daughters.The sons are all associated with Don Luis tn looking after the ranch, while the daughters, sald to be the most beautiful women quietly at the homestead.All the children were educated in the United States, are highly accomplished, have travelled through Europe, and speak several languages.Don Luis founded his cattle ranch about fourteen years ago and four years later he sought to import the finest cattle from Scotland and England.But there was a considerable difficulty in the way.The import duty on cattle was so heavy that it was impossible to bring over the animals in quantities sufficient for his purpose, so Don Luis appealed to the Maxican Government, pointed out the absurdity of restricting the importation of good stock into the country and succeeded in getting the import tax repealed.Hince that time Terrazas has Increased his stock by the importation of something like 5,000 bulls of the best breeds from the famous studs of Europe.Five years ago Terrazas installed on his ranch four big reservoirs costing £100,000, besides which there are 300 wells scattered over the huge farm, some of them going down to a depth or 500 feet.These wells, the water from which is raised by the use of windmills, cost another £100, 000.Every kind of grain is grown and Don Luis is consantiy experimenting in the raising of different \u2018\u2019foods for suppiying the wants of his immense herds during the rain- less season.An enemy which has to be sternly fought on this great ranch is fire, and scarcely a summer passes without great tracts of prairie being laid waste by its destroying advance.Through the torrid months there is a man stationed on the lookout at every station each hour of the twen- ty-four, and directly he sees indications which tells him that fire has started he rings the m\\ssive alarm bell and and in an incredibly short time men come riding in ready to fight the danger with their lives it necessary.The frightened cattle are driven sideways from the oncoming fire and then the enemy is attacked from the rear.It is no gbod attempting to stop a prairie fire from the front, for ita progress is too rapid and too annihilating.Heavy chains are draggeu along the ground which help to weaken and disipate the fire.Across the prairie long furrows fifty feet apart are quickly made, and these also help to stem the progress of the fire.All night the fight is kept up, and not until the last spark la quenched are the men able to take food and rest.In these efforts to subdue the flames Jon Luis and his sons are usually seen working Itke demons and urging their men to greater ef- forte.Fighting a prairie fire has all the elements of danger and for excitement it has few equals.For this reason Don Luis takes a fierce delight in combating the flames and declares that it 1s one of the fascinations of a prairie life.Men with blue or gray are ab most inmetadly the best shots.WORLDS BIGGEST EARN Lime Riders, Shepherds and Hun- | in Mexjco-\u2014remain INSTRUMENTS OF INSECTS, Only Birds Use the Throst.I | upon fiddles and castanets that are

Wait.\u201cTrousers pressed while you wait\u201d is a sign which no longer appeals.It went into the discard with the old year.The new thing is the electric trousers creaser, which not only creases trousers while you wait, but while they are on.The new invention has a stirrup into which the toe is inserted, and a handle by which the creaser is held steady.Between the two there is a vertical guide rod upon which the electrical pressing iron slides.The iron itself consists of two spring-pressed electrically heated plates, which are clamped to the trousers at the bottom and ironed up and down.The current for heating the iron is transmitted through a wire from a lamp socket.It is intended that the trousers creaser shall be part of the equipment of the modern barber shop.\u2014New York World.Why Leaves Change Color.Despite the commonness of autumn coloring, we do not yet know the full meaning of autumn colors of leaves.We do know that late in the summer the tree is preparing for the leaf fall by drawing the valuable substances of the leaf which aids in the making of the plant's food, and this gradually fades away in the bright light.By fading, it exposes to view any other oolors in the leaf; and all leaves contain yellow coloring matters called xanthophyl (whose function is not known), and it is these which give the yellow color to autumn leaves.The red is formed differently: in bright light and cool temperature a new substance, called erythrophyl, is made from sugar and tannin in the leaf cells, and that has à red color.A brown substance is also sometimes formed, and, besides, the skeleton of the leat dies.It is the various combinations of these % GIRLS TO JUMP TROLLEYS APlpping\u201d io Chisagesse fer Getting On er ON Cars.Clcago, HL\u2014\"\u201cThe theory and

to me as the author, and adversely reflecting upon the cause I represent\u2014that of scientific or medical temperance, I Teel that it is incumbent upon me in the interest of that cause to protest - against the abuse of the repertorial privilege by holding up to ridicule, either directly or indirectly, so serious an individual and national vice as that of drunienness, For a period of over forty years as a physician, writer and lecturer, I have endeavored, to the best of my knowledge and ability, to consider the subject of intemperance from & medical and scientific standpoint, I have had practical experience as physician to & iarge sanitarium for a period extending over many years.I have treated during this time several thousand ceases of narcomania, due to alcohotic and various drugs.I have the personal records of 4,000 cases, and have also nad the advantage of friendship and correspondence with the leaaing authorities in this country and Europe on this sub~ ject.1 have had, therefore, ample opportunity to become thoroughly familiar with the.topic under consideration.\u2018 The subject is too serious to make it, &s is often the case, the theme of & common story, the stock joke of the funny weekly paper, and the everlasting resource of the cartoonist or the tale of the humorist.No one would be better pleased than I, if 1 could laugh the suicide out of his grave, or restore the victim of alcoholic mania to life, or wipe away the tears of mothers and fathers and wives and sons and daughters, to restore to soclety brilliant and use- fui lives, wasted treasure to impoverished families, and empty insane asylums of a large proportion of their inmates.1 would laugh loud and long if such t-ould be the result, but it cannot be done, and I seriously question whether or not the treating of the subject in a humorous and light way is not seriously detrimental, if not positively harmful.Personally, I have seen too much of the awful reality.I would as soon laugh at the ravages of smallpox, yellow fever, cholera or bu- bonic plague, or resc à comic paper in a cemetery or perpetrate a pun in the chamber.of death, What we need 1s serious thought\u2014not the pencil

destruction of wealth produced by other occupations.The wants of men in civilized society are food, clothing, shelter educational and religious advantages, The booze barons engaged in the manufacture and sale of liquors are constant con- sumerg of these necessaries of life\u2014 the products of human labor\u2014yet they in no way aid in their production.They consequently live at the expense of

produced nothing in value to offer in exchange.He produces nothing that supplies any need or furnishes any comfort.The expense of his business, and the support of his family, is a tax on productive industry and ig taken from the earnings of labor.Value of Alcohol Overrated.For many years I have dispensed almost entirely with alcohol as an aid in surgical treatment.As a student I saw it used, almost as a matter of routine, for every kind of surgical malady except head injuries, and in my early days I naturally followed the practice of my teache ers; but as soon as I made trial for myself of the effect of withholding alcohol, I found how entirely overs rated its value was, and how gravely mistaken had been the teaching.It is commonly held, I believe, that alcoholic stimulants are of ospecial value in all forms of septic inflame mation, such as erysipelas, pyaemia, septicaema, and hectic fever.I be lieve that this beltef is founded solely upon tradition unsupported by any

department of commerce and labor.The reason is easily found, says the New York Sun.* À great majority of the unskilled laborers in this country are employ- od in railroad construction and simi-

except the Itallans & fixed eharge is made for the boarding and lodging \u201c| of each man.The Italians, however, insist on buying and cooking their own food.Investigation of the records of a contracting company employing many laborers of various nstionall- ties in railroad construction showed that the actual cost to the company of groceries, provisions and payment for cooks, walters, fuel, light, etc, at its boarding camps was 19 cents a meal, or $3.99 A week for each ian, The men were charged $18 a month for board and lodging.The I at the camps of the same company lived mostly on macaroni, sausage, cheese, sardines and bread being the staples and the others used very sparingly.The average monthly expense of each laborer was as follows: Twenty-five one and one-half pound loaves of bread at 8 cents, $3; thirty pounds of macaroni at 7 cents, $3.10; 'sausage, sardines and cheese, $1.50; lard, 90 cents.: Most of the Italians in addition to that amount spent an average of $3 \u2018à month for beer, chesp cigars and tobacco, which with the expense of $1 a month for shanty rent brought: the total cost of living up to about $10 a month.A Woman's Heroism.History bas presented

struck an enormous swordfish and the impact was so great that the sharp edges went through the planking of the vessel.She immediately sprang a leak and it was necessary to put the Likelike on the run during the repairs.When the story was told of- course landsmen were sceptical of it and refused to belive that a swordfish could plerce even a wooden vessel, but it was pointed out that the fish could gather speed of fully sixty miles an hour.There is sufficient evidence to show that the fish damaged the boat.\u2014Honglulu Star.Mustacheless Indiana Trustees.At the meeting of township trustees here

and still they must go somewhere; and I wonder- | ed where.Now I know, or I think I know, They go into meat ples and the stews and things that you get in boarding houses.I used to wonder where they got the beef that they put into these pies, it was so tough; but now I know: They buy these old leather trunks and cut \u2018ém up into suitable sized chunks and make this leather beef up into meat ples.\u201cIt is true that I never yet found in.a boarding house meat pie or beef stew a trunk lock or & plece of a hinge or any rivets or corner clamps or other trunk hardware, but ft isn\u2019t necessary for me to find these things in the pie to know: there's & whole lot -of things that we may not be able to get any actual proof of that we know just the same are true, and this is one of them.\u201c1 may not find any buckles or keys or casters in my meat ple, but I don\u2019t have to; I know what the meat in the pie is made of well enough to satisfy me, and this is to me a great, in fact, a double, satisfaction.I know now where the boarding house keepers get the meat for these pies, and I know also what becomes of the old handbags, suit cases and leather trunks.\u201d A Modern Pearl Farm.In the Gult of Lower Californis there is in operation the largest pearl farm in the world, where the\u2019 cultivation of pearls has been taken up as a practical industry.To harvest the annual crop of pearls raised on this farm requires the labor of & thousand persons, Including the modern pearl divers, whose methods have been completely revolutionized by the up-to-date appliances employ ed in this new industry.Pearl farming, as originated by the Mexican company which owns the big Lower California farm, is the result of the discovery of a very simple fact con cerning pearl bearing mollusks.After twenty-five years of study and experiment it was discovered that the shell loses its gem after it is two years old, and unless opened at the proper time there will be no pearl within.Following this discovery the system whereby the shells are cultivated until the proper time and then opened was devised.From the time of planting the eggs to the harvesting of the crop two years must elapse, as that length of time is required for the growth of an ordinary shell.Most Popular Music.The London Evenis ;

and Lewyer Hevwegg.\"A mestingla the Conservative ister- \u2018est was held at the Town Hall, Stan- stead, Friday evening.Dr.J.O.Oolby presided .The first speaker was Mr.B.» Howard, a Montreal lawyer.My.Howard was giad to participate in the present campaign because there was a real issue.We were facing a crisis affecting in a material way the destiny of Canada.Reviewing the history of the country the speaker wnt back to the repeal of the corn laws by Great Britain in 1846.Up to that time we had enjoyed a preference in the British market; by the action \u2018of tbe British parliament we were then practically excluded from that market.Then we had no winter porte, and with the freezing of the St.Lawrence were out off from the outelde world.We had no home market then, and a period of depression anequaled in our history set in.Discontentment and unrest followed.In 1849 prominent citizens of Montreal\u2014Liberals and Conservatives alike\u2014signed a memorial advocating severance of \u2018the British tie and joining the United States.But there was an opposition party.The British Empire sssocia- tion had been in 1845 or 1846 with John À Macdonald as its Wh bead.Building op home markets was [th the remedy advocated by this association.The scheme was to try to get a foreign market while uniting the scattered British dominions, developing the national spirit, and building up a ftome market.It was at this time that the reciprocity treaty was made with 4he United States.In the years that followed prices were high and the country did prosper amasingly for a time, but, said the speaker, reciprocity although co-incident, had absolutely nothing to do with it.The first cause was the Orimean war whichgmeated an unprecedented demand \u2018Wg food stuffs, After this (1857) theré came a panic in the U.8., the 1ike of which the country has never known.Only one bank in New York City was able to continue payment.Canada was loft unprotected, and in the middle years of reciprocity, 1858-1860, experienced a period of hardship and depression, the effects of which it felt - for many years.The American Civil War, breaking out in 1861, took two tnillion farmers from the flelds.Prices once more soared high, and the Cana- @ian farmer prospered, but it was nothing to do with reciprocity.War Was absolutely the whole cause, said the speaker.The Americans made the reciprocity treaty oxpecting to gain political con- rol of Oanada.Failing in this they \u201cgot mad,\u201d sald the speaker, and in 1865 notified this country of their determination to abrogate the treaty, expecting thereby to coerce this oountry into joining the Union.But Oanada refused to be coerced; confederation followed in 1867, and a home market was in the process of Building when the Liberals came into power in 1873, took off the duties, and another period of depression followed \u2014flve years of the worst \u2018\u2018hard times\u201d ever known.One class was benefit- ted\u2014that was the legal profession.Lawyers looked back to the period trom'1873 to 1878 as the golden age.Mr.Howard said he was speaking t bis own financial interests; he expected to get rich winding up bankrupt estates if this reciprocity agreement went into effect.In 1878 Sir , John A.Macdonald was returned to power by an overwhelming majority, and the procees of building a home market went on.Conservatives never intended to make reciprocity a permanent feature of their politics.Why 8ir John continued to advocate reciprocity in natural products was be- oause the country was then producing much more than it could nse.We were now consuming 85 to 80 per cent.of our own produce and it made no difference to us who closed their doors.Canada had reached its na- Slonal growth; it had passed the \u201cnursing bottle stage.\u201d As a patriot he rejoiced because the - Liberals had the good sense not to touch the tariff in 1896 or since.Besides protecting our infant industries, the tariff was incidentally a protection against panics.Thanks to Mr.Fisher's policy\u2014to his splendid cold storage system\u2014 England was very much -nearer us now than the U.8.was in 1854.Montreal had grown from 140,000 to half a million and small manufacturing towns had sprung up all over the country.Under open competition with Ameri- oan manufacturers Sherbroske would revert to a cow pasture.Reciprocity was dead as a door-nail.Canada was mow the most prosperous country on earth; In fact there Was nothing ap- proschiog it in the whole world, Under the circumstances it was utter folly to experiment.The reciprocity idea this time came from the United States.American consumers were \u2018\u2018mad all through\u2019 at the high cost of living, due to combinations and gresping monopolies.The U.8.tari?was twice as high as ours.In 1008 the tari?was revised, bat not downwarde, and the unrest to Canadas natural resouress; they | priess \u201cwere: lowir Save] (when they were net) and they clamored for reciprocity with wm.The speaker refomped to the farmers?free Het bill, saying thas if we heldouta| Métle while we would get into their market without opening our.own.Prof.Stephen F.Leagock, of MoGill Usiversity, wes the next speaker and Le proved himeelf a gun on the firing live.the keynote of his address.reciprocity pact be foresaw ities of commercial and political union, and appealed to his hearers through- outto put country before mere dollars and cebts.At the same time he grgued that Canadian prices for farm products were higher on an average than these of tbe United States.The old treaty, negotiated by Lord Eigih, was framed as a preventative of annexation.At that time we bad no settled population but there was mo happy outlook for the future.While we were mation building reciprocity was a necessity.To-day Osuada was the wonder of the civilised world.From 1878 to 1878 we were crushed with poverty; people appealed to Ot- taws and the ministers said \u2018We oan do nothing.\u201d In 1878 Canada started ont on the solid National policy; now we were able to boast of our prosperity.There was now no call for a change in our flacal policy; no feeling that anything had to be dons.Under National policy we had all grown rich, happy and contented.When the Liberals were in opposition promised fre trade; after they came into power they followed in the foot- va In the steps of the Conservatives.Imitation | was the best thing they ever did said Mr.Leacock.They bad now set out upon a new path which was fraught with dangers on every side.They bad tried to stampede Parliament and force upon the people à measure drawn up in a way that sacrificed the business and political institutions of the country.There was not one jot or tittle of profit in it for the people of Oanada.All classes would be adversely affected.While the possibilities of losing our Nationa! existence constituted the greatest danger the speaker said he was willing to get down and discuss the question from a.purely financial standpoint.Live stock was all higher in Canada than in the United States.Wheat was from two to nive cents higher in the United States, and for this trifling amount we were opening the home market to the powerful republic at the south, and as a free|: gift to the leading countries of the world.The farmer would be ruined, then |.he would turn on the others and sky, - Why are you protected while I am not?The mannfacturer would thén | have to fight for his life.It would be impossible to stem the tide.All barriers would bave to go.We could stop now, but it would be impossible then.He contrasted the condition of the |.Western farmer, now coming into his splendid heritage, with the hardships endured by the pioneers who redeemed the Eastern provinces from the wilderness.The supporters of reciprocity were planning to stampede | the West, but the Western farmer should remember the hardships endured by his Eastern brother; he should not consider the trifling gain of a few cents a bushel on the price of wheat.- In the face of great natural obstacles we were trying to preserve the integrity of the Dominion which was divided in the middle by the rooky waste north of Lake Saperior.There was great danger in allowing unfettered freedom of trade between the western provinces and the country at the south.Millions of the people\u2019s money had been spent upon the great transportation lines from east to west which were now threatened with ruin.We were custodians of a treasure- house, the greatness of which could scarcely be realized.The possibilities of our forests and water should make us the paper center of the world.As et but 5 per cent.of our great grain Hold was Riled, Groat ® The Americans wanted all of these] and were forcing men and machinery into the country to get them.They had taken the Philippines and the beet of the West Indies; they now wanted our raw materials.If the West of Canada was allowed \u2018to open up easy trade connection with ite Southern neighbor, the whole business and political life of the country would Be threatened.The speaker knew there were those who pictured a united continent under one government; that was a beauti- fai picture, but he thought of one more beautiful, It was a British Empire, real and united, not the makeshift we now have; an empire from which the best of our men would bé sent to Westminster, and for the maintainanpé of which We would contribute from our pockets our share in hard dollars.Then he would join this empire with the United States\u2014thus guaranteeing the peace of the world.In the opinion of the speaker the rond to this colossal empire would inevitably be blocked if Canada were $0 make any sort of an alliance with the United States at this time, Olds Gasoline Ragine, 3 h.p.air- cooled, in perfect condition, used very litele, cost 6200;
