SEaTTLE—Puget Sound News Co. — ENGLAND—The Clougher Syndicate, Grand Trunk Building, Trafalgar : = PREFERENCE AND RECIPROCITY DalLy EDITION. Monpay, SEPT. 18 A Conservative contemporary quotes Sir John Macdonald as opposed to unrestricted reciprocity because it involved discrimination against the Morther Couritry. The quotation is correct, but it is no argument against the kind of reciprocity that does not discriminate against the Mother Country, the kind of reciprocity that is perfectly consistent with the existing preference to the Mother Country. British preference and reciprocity are parts of the same policy. The platform adopted by the Liberal convention of 1893 declared thai the tariff should be so arranged as to promite freer trade with the whole world, and more particularly with Great Britain and the United States. So far as Great Britain was concerned, the Liberals carried out their policy as soon as they obtained power. Their first tariff, ‘that of 1897, was based on the principle of reciprocity. It was in effect a British preference, because Great Britain was the only country which gave Canada the favorable treatment necessary to secure the preference; and it was afterwards specifically confined to Brivish countries. The fact that the market of the United Kingdom was free made it easy to carry out one part of the Liberal policy. The fact that the United States maintained very high duties against Canadian products was an obstacle to carrying out the other part of the Liberal policy. That obstacle is now removed. The United States removes many high duties altogether, makes sweeping reductions in others, on con- dition that we remove or reduce our lower duties. Laurier and Fielding, therefore, say that the time has arrived to carry out the second great feature of the Liberal policy. Reciprocity with the United States and preference for Greai Britain are not inconsistent or conflicting, because they cover two different fields. The British preference affects manufactures almosi entirely, because we buy no food except a few delicacies from Greai Britain. Reciprocity applies mainly to food and natural products. Sir John Macdonald favored reciprocity in food and natural products; he opposed unrestricted reciprocity because it covered manufactures and might have involved discrimination against Great Britain. The present agreement is entirely free from the objection to which Sir John Macdonald referred. STOP AND THINK The Tory party is asking for your support ipon a basis of higher protective duties. What does thismean? It means higher cost of living. The leaders of the Conservatives tell us that we want ro trade arrangements with a nation in the present cendition of the United States, but they nevertheless ask us to perpetuate in Canada the very tariff which has brought about existing conditions in the United States, a tariff the folly of which the United States are at last them- selves recognizing as highly iniquitous and designed solely to make a few men rich at the expense of the many. The Conservative party is absolutely committed to higher duties and it is well known that the campaign today is being financed, rot by the honest manufacturer who is ready to live and let live, but by the greedy and avaricious,heartless and moneyed aristocracy, who are determined to increase their wealth and their power by compelling all the people to pay tribute to them. YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE THURSDAY At the head of the Liberal party is the political Bayard of the age, without fear and without stain, a Jeader of personal magnetism unapproached among living statesmen, and a political general whose peer is not living at this moment. A Fabious in biding his time, Napoleon in the comprehensiveness of his strategy and a Marlborough in battle, his party are ready to follow as one man wherever his white plume leads. Like Napoleon too, he has surrounded himself with men of the first calibre, ablest among whom is our own W. S. Fielding, the greatest master of finance Canada has ever produced and a diplomat of many and greatest triumphs; a man who never entered a battle, he did not win, who never tackled a problem Which he dod not solve, who never feared a foe or deserted a friend, a parliamentary debater of the first order, and who, through the vicissitudes of a long and strenuous career, never made a personal enemy. Such are the Liberal accomplishments, such are the Liberal policies, such are the Liberal leaders. They are now appealing to the people for a mandate to set the seal of completion upon an agreement which at one stroke of the pen doubles our markets and provides opportunities for com- merce whose profits shall stimulate this country to a development which shall make even the progress of the past ten years seem like a snail's pace. Opposed to all this, what do we find? We find a leader dissatisfied with his followers, and followers dissatisfied with their leader. We find a condition of incipient rebellion ard reluctant subordination among the rank and file of the Opposition. We find a party differing as the poles asunder on almost every question of importance during the past fifteen years and split and rent by jealousies, envies and ‘ mutual distrust today. An unpopular captain and a mutinous crew would be a poor outfit indeed with which to man the ship of state, and the Canadian electorate know this. a THE WORD OF THE WORKER During the tour of the Primce Minister a deputation representing the workingmen of the country weited upon him bearing two banners with the following devices: ‘Reciprocity is endorsed by twenty thousand labor union men of Canada" and “Thou shalt not tax the food products of mankind.’ In Toronto the candidates for Parlia- t are being asked the question: ‘Are you in favor of untaxed affirmative will not,get the workingmen’s vote.” : on Nine-tenths of! the workingmen I know, says a labor leader in the East, are ir favor | of reciprocity because it involves the removel of all taxes from food This is not a party fight by any means. “It is an issue far broader and deeper then politics; it is a question of humanity.” Ross & Reciprocity Liberal Rally in the Committee rooms ...

CHAPTER VI. A ranch house in the Far Weat is not quite the same thing as a country house in England, though even that is not always as luxuriously comfortable in smal! details as many of the middle class town houses of Canada. If we @re at the beginning of things out West, we grow fast, and solid comfort is not an English monopoly. What ordinary manor house in Eng land has a bath room atached to every bedroom, electricity ready to be turned on at every possible point where light could be wanted, it's even temperature assured by a furnace in the basement, its labor-saving appliances so com plete that one Chinese factotum can perform al) the domestic labor which machinery will not do for him. The want of domestic servants has made western men use their brains for the abolition of labor, and one of th: results has been smal! houses so com- pact, so well arranged, that servants can almost be dispensed with. But a wide gap divides the town house of Canada from the ranch house. That perhaps is more like a very early edition of the English manor house. Like it in its ample rooms where many men may gather together o’ nights when the work is over; in its solidity, which gives it warmth in the long days of winter; and in its frank kinship to the Great Out-of-Doors, which alone makes it habitable for men who must be in and out all day long, and cannot spare the ..me to “change” every time that they are hungry. But after the day's work is over, on such ranches as the Risky at any rate, the cowboy, tf he lives in the house, is supposed to shed his working dress, so that when the lights from the great Jog house streamed over the wedry hunting party, the first to greet them was a cheery English squire in his evening kit of old pumps and a smoking jacket. “Why, my girl,” he cried, “what | brings you home in this fashion?” “Didn't you want to see us, old inan? Yes! take the horses, Jim, end let some one else look after them. etay to change. you are. We've ridden all day, Dick, and most of the time at a gallop. Help Kitty upstairs. I believe she is too tired to walk.” “Shall we carry her, Anstruther?” asked Dick Rolt, helping his wife down first, “or do you think you are man enough to do that yourself?" “I think I might just manage it, sir, if Miss Kitty will allow me.” But Kitty was not minded to give him the chance. Her eyes followed the “hired man” somewhat wistfully for a moment, and then putting her arm through Mrs. Rolt's, she climbed the stairs with her friend. “I can't understand him,” she whis- pered, “and he has changed. What have you done to him while I’ve been away?" “Do you think that he is so much changed? I thought it rather like the old Jim to-day, when he put himself between trouble and our little mad- “Yes; but Polly—” Mrs. Rolt saw that the girl was over- tired and all but crying. “‘But me no buts,’ Miss. There's your room and the old man has lighted the stove for you, which means that they saw us coming and that there will be a fire in my room, too, bless him. Go in and hurry, and don’t keep dinner waiting. No man cares two straws how a woman looks when he is hun- gry.” Outside, in the corrall, Jim Combe led the tired horses slowly to their stables, and though he had been asked to hurry, dwelt unconscionably over his chores, As a rule he was the quickest man about the ranch, but on this occasion even the horses grew impatient and fidgetty under his lei- surely handling. They wanted their oats. to think, He had to adjust himself to certain new phases of thought, and the opera ‘tion was not easy to him. Befere Kitty Clifford went back to Pngland, it had not seemed unreagon- able that he, the foreman of the Risky Ranch, should aspire to her hand. She was of the ranch, a part of those wild plains which it dominated and had no other world to conquer. Neither did she seem to need any, The ranch language was her lan- Jim wanted e, its happiness her happiness; to | as to him there had been nothing worth having beyond it, and as far as such things mattered, he knew that if i4g man’s life had roughened him a Mttle, he was as well:bormm a» she way.

Her eyes had been open so that she saw how rough and monoton- }ous the ranch life was, and yearned | lafter the brilliant life at home, of which she had not seen enough to tire. | Worse than all for Jim, she had learn- jed to see his lack of polish and the discords in his speech, which at home would have meant want of caste.

On this day when he came in there were two places vacant, one above and one below the salt, and he saw Kitty |draw her dainty gown of some soft jsage green stuff towards her as if she | would make room for him. Her action was in itself an invitation, and the dress, a combination of colors of that great cattle country he loved so well, with its soft dominant tones relieved by a flash or two of the sumachs’ fiery crimson, touched him. He himself had suggested the colors of it, on a ride long ago, as colors proper for a “sage brush girl,” as he had called her. As he had not seen the frock before, he argued that it must Ve one that she had brought from Englund, and that therefore some thought of this, if not of him, had been with her there But he took the other place half way down the lower table between old Al and Dan MeGillivray It was a stupid thing to do of course, but it was done in obedier~* to a blun- dering instinct of his «ich forbade him to force the rurauig whilst she had that ridiculous idea 6 that he had risked his life for hers, but it hurt him to see the pretty face varden and then light up, ae te had xever seen it before, for that fellow from England women, how should he, and he mis read the signs, and wondered what on earth those two could find to talk) about ference. Loyal Briton as he was, how he bated England for the moment, and even if he had known her in England, surely that was no reason should treat Anstruther like a brother, or better. Yes, better; a good deal better. Jim tried to break into the conver | sation, and did so clumsily. “That's a bad racket, Boss, about | those cattle thieves,” he said, and his own voive seemed hard and unneces- sarily loud. “They will be making a hole in your pile this season.” “Mrs. Rolt tells me that you found a branded hide in one of the Chilco- ten's old camps.” “Found an ear anyways, but I'm |scared that that is not all. Davies’ | murderer is out again with Khelowna’s band. It means mischief.” “If we want to stop it we've got to leatch some of the thieves and make an example of them. You know what Indians are if you let them get away | with you.” “Then you would organize a and hunt them. | but could we leave the Indians to look after the ranch for a week.” “Might as well. The work is pretty | well forward, and Mr. Anstruther could look after the ladies.” “What do you say to that, Kitty?” asked the Boss. “Certainly, if Mr. Anstruther’s whole soul is not in the cattle.” Anstruther muttered somethirg in his low drawling voice which the oth- was sufficiently audible. ‘Oh!”" she laughed, “that is not man- ly, Mr. Anstruther. It’s cattie first and cattle ;l) the time with the men.” “Cattle are naturally rather impor- tant on a ranch, my dear,” put in Mrs. Rolt. “We Western people have to work for our daily bread, and that is what the cattle mean to us.” “Some people work in England,” re- |torted Kitty, tossing her pretty head, “but they don't bring their work to all their meals,” Mrs. Rolt had ever received at her own table, and for a moment an un‘ but Anstruther saved the situation. “I don't think we should have done up?” It needed no straining of ears to hear it. For a spell there would be silence or only a thick whispering round the cor- ners of the old house, and then an angry shaking of every casement in the building as if some strong man was trying to find a place to make an _ entry. Again there would be a pause, fol- lowed by a long wailing cry, and the grinding and shrieking of the thousand branches of the pines around the | house, while again would come that, wrenching and straining at the case- ments. | “It's going to be an early winter,” | ‘uaa Jim, “I guess that’s why all the. | cattle are coming in,” } No one heard her say anything, but | Kitty's mutinous little face could. ‘speak without words. : “Let us have some music,” said Rolt, | | rising and openine the door for the! | adios. “It is stormy outside, and 1) you Want sour nerves | in her head | He kner nothing of | Of course Anstruther knew her | in England, and that made all the dif- | why she | “What ought we to do about that?” | It might be as Well, | ers did not catch, but Kitty’s answer | | It was as near a slap in the face as | comfortable silence fell upon them all, | well on the prairie to-night, Mra, Rolt. | Do you hear how the wind is getting | lio be ‘good soothing alter that hard r Ww The two went out, aa te had gone the Boss stood pullin a long moustache in a way he h ha he was annoyed.
