TUESDAY, AuG. 15 The Reciprocity Bill is a proposal between Canada and the United ‘States to reciprocally ablosih taxes on the food products which are exchanged across the border between the two countries. It will mean a reduction in the high cost of living, and make food more plentiful. It will enable the people of British Columbia to enjoy the early fruits of the Pacific States free of duty. It will enable the fruit growers of British Columbia to market their later matured fruits in the markets of the United States at a time when they will bring the highest prices. It will open the markets of the United States te the lumber of British' Columbia. It will open the markets of the United States to the fisheries of Northern British Columbia. It will bring twenty thousand fishermen and their families to Prince Rupert. It wil! bring prosperity to Prince Rupert. The United States Congress has carried the bill. All that is now required is that Canada carries the bill. Sir Wilfrid Laurier is appealing to the people of Canada to endorse reciprocity at the polls. To secure prosperity for British Columbia support Sir Wilfrid Laurier and reciprocity. The mutual abolition of taxes on food is the only issue in the present campaign. HOW RECIPROCITY WILL AFFECT THE COAL INDUSTRY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Among the great industries of British Columbia which will be helped if the agreement reciprocity comes into force is the coal in- dustry. This industry under reciprocity will be a great immediate help to British Columbia, and a much greater help in the future when the great coal deposits of the Skeena district and the great coal deposits of the Queen Charlotte Islands are opened up, At first sight it does not look as if the coal industry is to be greatly affected. The only change proposed is to make both tariffs agree. At present the U. S. tariff on coal is 45 cents per ton, and the Canadian rocity will remove this tariff barrier, Under the reciprocity | agreement Canadian coke will enter the United States free. What will this mean for British Columbia? It will mean that the foundries and smelters of the Western States will find it cheaper to buy their coke in British Columbia, instead of in the Eastern States. It will mean that British Columbia will be treated as if she were a sister state. It will mean that the miners of Nanaimo and Ladysmith will have lots of work to fill the orders for the coke makers. It will mean that the coal areas of the Skeena and the Queen | Charlottes will have to be opened up to supply the great demand } for coal for coking purposes, It will mean that all this coal will have to be turned into coke in British Columbia in order to take advantage of the free admission of coke? It will mean prosperity for the coal operators, the coal miners, the coke makers and the transportation companies of British Columbia. Northern British Columbia.

It will mean that coke ovens will have to be built and operated. It will mean that fleets of coke-carriers will have to be built and manned and operated, to carry cargoes of coke to the Pacific States. It will mean the dawning of a new and brighter day in the commercial history of British Columbia. NEW ESTABLISHMENT FOR FUNERAL UNDERTAKING Messrs.

The proposal is to standardize them, making both tariffs 45 cents. The change isa slight one, making coal a little cheaper | in Canada, but not enough to affect the pockets of any but the large | consumers and traders. But a revolutionary change has been made in the tariff. In return for the concession removing 8 cents per ton off our tariff on coal, the Canadian negotiators succeeded in securing a very important con- cession. They succeeded in getting Canadian coke placed on the free list in the United States. It was a masterstroke that means | enormously to British Columbia. Coke is used in the great smelters and foundries of the Western States. But the State of Washington has not coal of the proper quality from which to make coke. She has to import all the coke she needs from other states. British Columbia has immense coalfields of bitu- menous coal, of the right kind to produce high quality coke. But a tariff barrier of a dollar a ton had been placed against Can-_ adian coke to prevent it entering the United States.
