. Talk Was Insulting’ To Dominion.

‘A. rather interesting American
comment on the reciprocity issue
is “the following, from & recent
article by Elbert Hubbard:

" Emerson says that the honest
person _ ‘cannot - accept a favor
without: giving one,”

Gifts not backed ‘up by ‘the

“We wart love; but enly on cer=

Canada voted against recipro-

il|city, if the papers have correctly

informed us. - Also, the over-
whelming vote against, recipro-
city was a surprise. to both
Liberals and Conservatives, Al-
so, it was.a surprise and a shock
to the United States of America,

‘For twenty years Canada had
been suggesting reciprocity, with
McKinley seorned the
thought. In fact, the whole
District of Columbia did the

a same, and’ all” tlie time Sopulation

High prices of living are owing
to this’ steady ‘increase: ‘in city

And so it comes about that we
need Canada’ 8 farm-produets to
feed ‘our people.

Pinched by the growing and
increasing prices of foodstuffs, | °
shocked at our grocery bills,
grieved at the independence of
the grangers, and the American

we suddenly look to Canada for

Nowadays, no gentleman wants
