DaILy EDITION. In their efforts to defeat the bill to mutually remove taxation from the exchanged food products of Canada and the United States, Mr. Borden and his followers have been guilty of worse crimes than robbing Western Canada and British Columbia of their fair share of representation at Ottawa. They have stooped to misrepresentation When the Conservative party took up the cause of the interests who profit by keeping the taxes on food, they realised that some cry was necessary to stampede the public and frighten them from the subject, if reciprocity was to be defeated.

The opponents of reciprocity had to find ‘‘facts’’ to “support their piece of misrepresentation. down. It is here that their misrepresentation swallows itself. It was represented by the opponents of reciprocity that a treaty was to be made, binding Canada for a term of years in a hard and fast agreement to the changes in her tariff policy. It was represented that Canada was parting with her liberty to initiate and readjust her tariff policies, and would fall a helpless prey to the cuter brains, THE DAILY NEWS The Daily News Published by the Prince Rupert Publishing Company, Limited DAILY AND WEEKLY r year, in advance.
