November 1], 1897. Rieiiiroxn HILL, RECIPROCITY PROPOSALS. 'The recent Washington despateh- ics which announced that the Amer- ican authorities were seriously dis- posed to open negotiations for the :arrangcment of a treaty of Reciproc- ity, in trade matters, with Canada, are such as must awaken the liveli- Acst interest and hopefulness in the ‘mind of all Canadians irrespective 'of party lines. The conclusion of a Reciprocity treaty, which would ibring about a condition of affairs :similar to that which prevailed be- fore the abrogation of the treaty of 1866, would be hailed with supreme :satisfaction by the people of this country as it would open wide the door to greater prosperity and usher in anew era of better times. The ‘wcalth, population and vast resources 01‘ the nation to the south make their markets for our products a goal to be most ardently desired. The hope of , :an ultimate freer commercial interâ€" course with the United States, has always been keenly alive in the breast of all politeiians in the Do- .minion during the past quarter of a century. For several years prior to confederation the united foreign com- merce of the provinces averaged about $115,000,000 per annum. Du- ring the 7th year after the union of .the provinces the foreign trade, un- :der reciprocity, and freedom of in- .tcrprovincial trade, hadreached the 'figure of $240,000,000. Americans have all along held to the idea, and how erroneous it is they are now be- ginning to realize, that Canada was dependent upon trade with' the United States for commercial exist-~ cnce;and accordingly tlieyhave per-1" sistentedly demanded that, in return for the been of reciprocity, any new trade treaty should only be entered into upon the condition that the United States should have the pref- erence over all other countries in the markets of Canada. But such a one-sided stipulation when rightly known and understood by the people of Canada, would nev-. or for a moment be tolerated save'by those who desire political union of the two countries, as it would mean nothing more nor less than a com-n inercial corporation into the United States, a situation that would prove a potent factor in weakening the ties which now bind us to the Mother Land. This union is the fond hope and stronghold of the annexationist, but it finds no place in the hearts of . Canadian citizens. In the last two or three general elections in Ontario the Liberal Gov- .o'nment had to combat the 0ft re-, pcated statements that Roman Cath- olics were receiving more than their, share of public offices. The Opposir tion raised this cry,and a good many were inclined to believe that there was some tmth in the accusation. The Catholic register is now endear.- oring to show that very few Roman Catholics are appointed to seats on the bench, and contends that Roman {Catholics are discriminated against, it is a great pity that the sectarian cry is always raised before a. general election. If the Register can show where a Roman Catholic has been’ passed over on account of his religion .it certainly has a right to point out the fact, but this has not been done. When it is contended on one side that too much has been given, and on the other side that the bill of fare has been too small it is a pretty good sign that the Ontario Governmentl has struck a happy medium between two extremes. i mm‘P agents.

The Evening Star was a- mong the papers that was inclined to censure the Dominion Government for granting a judges-hip to Mr. Lount, but a telegram from Sir Wil- frid Lauricr will settle the matter. Sir \Vilfrid says there is not the-least foundation for the statement that the been to judgeship has Mr. Lount. promised “it is time for a change in Ontâ€" ario. 'l‘wcntyâ€"iive years is too long for any (ji‘wcrnincnt to be in power â€"(irit or Tory.” The above short paragraph presses the reason of the Leader and Recorder why the llardy Government should give way to a Conservative Government. If Mr. Whitney and his followers will stick to the text it will be easier for them than to (‘X- above show that there is anything wrong with the present government's policy. But we believe the electors of this province will seriously consider beâ€" fore. they discharge a set of men sim ply because they have governed the public affairs of this province for 25 years and governed as honest and capable men.
