eg- Shall We Have Peace? 'l'radc negotiations of some kind are said to be going on between Ottawa and Washington, or between London and “'ashiuetcn through Ottawa. Either the Government of Great' Britain is nrflficlng the Government of Canada to make proposals {or reciprocity to the Ghvcrtimmt of the United States, or the Government of the United Statcs'is [.l')p“hllig reciprocity in the Canadian Gv-vernment. and the Canadian Govern- nunt is consulting: the British Govern- ment about the matter, or the Canadian Government is proposing some measure of reciprocity to the United States Gov. ernnnnt. with or without the approval of the British Government, or, possibly, none of all these variousthings is taking: place. This is, so far as we can under- Ilauzlmbaving no confidential relations with either of the leaders ol‘ the Govern- ment or those of the OppositiOn, and being therefore largely dependent on the newspaper organs of both parties for our information in regard to such delicate mattersâ€"about the way in which the business stands at present. It is true that when one of the organs announced the other day that it had "learned from the very best sources that the Canadian Government has re- ocntly been approached by the United States Government with a view to the development of trade relations between the two countries, and that our Govern- ment has requested the advice of her Majesty's Government on the subject," the public were naturally led to believe that there must. be something important on the tapis. But another paper, equal ly near the “very best sources," has since, we believe, discredit-ed that state- . inent. It is, however, difficult to be- -liev¢= that all these rumours can have r-b'eon simultaneously set. afoot without some basis in fact. There can be, we suppose, little doubt that. communica- tjons of some kind, formal or iul'ormal, have been or are being interchanged between the three Governments concern- GET FOB YOUB SCHOOLHOUSE The morrment for hoisting: the Canadian flag on the seixoolliouscs on anniversaries of noted events in our histrr'.‘ is spreading: yapidly throughout the Dominionou evoking the hearty approval of alt patriotic citizens.

Few thoughtful persons in Canada would care 'to deny that it‘a treaty of reciprocity could be agreed on, acceptable to the Mother Cemtry as well as to the two parties more immediately concerned, and in- volving a complete settlement. of all questions in dispute between the two nations, it would be a boon to all con- cerned. It is quite evident from past history as well as from present indica- tions that England would gladly consent to considerable discrimination against lurself for the sake of being rid of-thcsc rvexatious disputes with a kindred nation with which she desires to be on terms of peace and friendship. Even from the business point of view, considering the vast nmiunt of British capital in- vested in both the United States and Canada, it would be greatly to her in temst to bare all standing disputes set- tled and perfect goodwill restored be- tween the two countries. We do not know whether the postponement of the date of the meeting of our own Parlia- ment has any connection with the inat- ter, but there is certainly some reason to hope that better counsels are begin- ning to prevail, and that these three great branches ol‘ the Anglo-Saxon stock may, some day not. far distant, join hands in a covenant ol‘ perpetual peace and good viiiâ€"«The ll'cek. â€"â€" and other farm produce. m Flour and feed kept constantly on hand.

Ira building worth $1200 is insured ed to pay $1000, it‘a loss occurs. In such a. case the London Mutual is obliged to pay only two thirds ofthc cash value, or $800. 2. lfu. horse worth $90 is killed in the fields by lightning, the Royal Canadian is obliged to pay $90. The London Mutual pays only $60. v 3. Fora cow worth $30 killed by lightâ€" ning the Royal Canadian pays $30. The London Mutual pays only $20. For other animals the Royal Canadian pays the full value. The London Mutual pays not more than $5, no matter how valuable the animal may he. 4. In the Royal Canadian animals are insured against lightning while at pasture 5. When articles are insured specifically. such as musical instruments, the Royal Canadian is obliged to pay the full amount insured up to the. cash value of the article. The London Mutual pays only two-third of the cash value, no matter what the in- surance may be. 6. When “ ordinary contents " of out buildings are insured bylthc Royal Canadian ALL implements are. included. In the Lon- don Mutual only onc reaper and one mower are included, no matter how good others may be. 7. When the outbuildings are not joined to each other the. Royal Canadian insures under one sum the “ ordinary contents " of all building not cut oil‘ bya distance greatâ€" er than 40 it., the some as if the contents were all under one roof. The London Mu- tual requires :1 Separate sum on the con- tents of each building, if the distance is more than 12 ft. This is a very important difference in many cases. 8. In the Royal Canadian it is a part of the contract that standard STEAM 'rtmnsm-zns may be used without a special permit and without any restriction as to the distance from stocks or buildings, caretakers, pails of water, kind of fuel or direction of the wind. lllany of the policy holders in the London Mutual were obliged to run their own risk while threshing last season, be- cause it was found to be impossible to com- ply with the conditions of their permit. When a farmer pays for insurance he should secure a policy which will hold him safe when it is most required. 5). The Royal Canadian is obliged to pay its losses within sixty days and usually takes much less. The London Mutual need not pay for ninety days, and since it has become so hard up as to be obliged to bor- row money largely, it usually takes about the full time allowed. to. The Royal Canadian policy is subject to the statuterv conditions only. It has none of the numerous variations against the policy-holder printed in red ink on the back of the London‘Mutuul policy. ll. As to security, the inspector of ins"- more reports that the Royal Canadian has $202,758, the amount be estimates to be necessary to enable the company to carry out all its engagements with its policy holders. Besides this he. reports that it has to the good the $100,000 capital paid in cash by the shareholders, and a net surplus $117,607 making in all a total cash Surplus ef $5l7,607 to protect its policy-holders against unexpecch contingencies. In ad. dition to these cash items it has n subscrib- ~ed capital of $400,000 not called up, no- garding the security of the London Mutual the inspector reports that the amount of unearned premium it should have on hand is $200,309. To make up this nmountin cash a second call would have to be made on the premium notes for a large amount, leaving a. surplus of only $74,2l8, even if there were no bad debts, and this eurnlus is made uprwholly of the unpaid baldnee of prl micm notes already heavily assessed. The centrally rtptrrts the losses adjusted hut unpaid at the close of the yearn! $6,- ?87, but tl.e inspector of Insurance finds that the liability for unpaid losses at the end ofthe year was $20,286. The cash on hand to pay these losses only amounted to $13,911. ln view of the foregoing fuels farmers will have no dil‘l‘t-nliy in deciding as to tho ccmrany in u hit h they should be insured.
