RECIPROCITY BOUND TO BE AGAIN THE SHIBBOLETH 4'800n.| Those who in this constituency last Federal election for reciprocity but were defeated at the! fought so valiantly at the polls have every reason to take heart and keep the armor of their invincible arguments bright and handy. From present news- paper indications it is soon again to be the question of the hour, and when it does it, will be backed by such a preponderence of public sentiment that it will sweep the whole country and carry with it the Conservative party, still whining its fears of annexation | and weving the British flag, into the “demm’‘d, of opposition, as Mantilini would say The people of Canada, now that there is no political battle | raging and they have time for reflexion, can see what has been lost; see through the political bogies used to scare them from a proper consideration of their own and Canada’s damp waters’ best| interests; sighingly admit they were used as the monkey used the | CIGARS cat wholly to serve the selfish ambitions of politicians hungry for office; scornfully recognizing the inconsistencies, the petty shams and subterfuges used by the Conservative party to effect that object. One of the best instances of all this and more is to be found in a recent issue of the Toronto Globe, under thé heading ‘‘Wheat, Politicians and Patriotism.” — It the duplicity and unscrupulousness of the party leaders, ¢ home to us ‘the The that the mean and shows saddest words of tongue or pen.” announcement was made the Canadian Pacific Railway yesterday, says Saskatchewan to Minneapolis and Duluth at the same rates as to Fort William and Port Arthur. The new rates are now force. This change, it is said, will aid in saving 25,000,000} . * . : , | bushels of grain now unmarketed and suffering loss in Western) Canada. What a humiliation this must be to those “no trade or truck| with the Yankees” politicians who four months ago traveled from| Lake Huron to the Atlantic warning loyal Canadians against al-} lowing western grain to be shipped to Minneapolis. At that time the grinding of Canadian wheat in American mills meant annexa- tion. Or if annexation might be shunned, then at the very least the millers of Canada would be ruined by this American com- petition.
