Mr. McKay's Reckless in Statements Refuted. a: rairiy wero sold in the Chicago market at a profit after paying the daty, the Ma- d Mr. McKay's statement. Herald says : A recent issuo of the Alberta Home- stead, a paper for farmers published in this province, refers to the Matador Land & Cattle Company of Texas, hav- 2000 head of two-year-old steers into Saskatchewan to be " finish. shi to the aoe the conclusion that Alberta and Saskatchewan have great market opportunities in that direction. . The trouble with this statement is that it is not correct. The Alberta Homestead evidently did not inyuire into the facts. The Herald would like to draw the attention of its readers to this very matter as an instance of the danger of taking shallow statements as a basis for favoring the reciprocity The Matador company of Estc'lene, Texas, is one of the largest cattle com- ies in the states. It ships to the United States markets during the shipping season 200 carloads of fat cattle a week, and its manager, Murdo McKenzie, is undoubtedly one of the best posted men in North America on beef questions. The company owns a ranch north of Swift Current and bas shipped in from 2000 to 2500 head of two-year-olJ steers position. The manager of the company, not- withstanding this privilege, has for three years past vot sold any of his man. He has no sentiment about markets, yet in face of his possessing the very privilege that reciprocity is su en are being deceived by one-sided state- ments made in the government press should ponder this incident carefully. For the last six months butcher cat- cattle has been selling in icago yards during believed that Hon. inister of Inlan said without hesitation and without boast- ing that British Columbia would send discredited ; recent hasty dissolution of Parliament, a dissolution evidently decided upon for the express purpose of preventing into the serious charg- against tho Minister of the York and will leave the Government as soon a8 his successor in the Cabinet is sppointed. Sir Allen entered public life a bitter partisan, but otherwise a man of high ideals and patriotic in- stincts. He rendered distinguished ser- vice to the country in the recent fisher- ies arbitration at The Hague and was k- ightgd by the Imperia] Government. hotwithstanding his deafness he is well qualified for his position and it is en op- en secret tbat he entered the cabinet expecting to remain in it as long as Sir Wilfrid Laurier remained in power. His leaving the Cabinet at this time and his refusal to run again as a Liber. al candidate can only be construed as asevere reflection upon the Govern- ment. Hon. Geo. P. Graham, Mirfister of Railways, is running again in Brock- ville, with many elements of opposition tohim. The Farmers' Bank failure and the Grand Trunk strike aro local factors which will strongly militate against the genial minister again sitting in Parliament. Moreover, reciprocity is a beavy load for him to carry. One- half of tue Liberals of Brockville are opposed to it. Mr. Graham bad small majority last time and it will be a most astounding feat if, handicapped as he is in this campaign, be manages to secure a ro-clection. The troubles of Hon. Chas. Murphy, Secretary of State, in Russell County. have furnished to the country for some time. ri erson is said to have the fight of his life on his bands in Brantford, and Hon. Mackenzie King has a mach more ser- ious contest before him in North Water- loo to-day than he had two years ago. In addition to other troubles he is con- fronted with the bitter hostility toward reciprocity which naturally exists in the big manufacturing centre of Berlin. Finally in Nova Scotia we have the spectacle of Sir Frederick Borden, one of the Ministers, preparing to jeave the Cabinet to become High Commissioner at London, while his colleague, Mr. Fielding, is wandering around in search of a seat. It is practically certain that the latter cannot be again elected .in Queeng and Shelburne. BAD FOR FARMERS AND WORKMEN. a (From The Montreal! Star.) Between 1909 and 1911-- Canadian exports of cattle to the United States increased by only $48,- 860 ; but American exports of cattle to Canada increased in the same period over half a willion of dollars. In the same period-- Our exportation of breadstuffs to the United States decreased by $175,309 ; and American exports of breadstuffs to Canada increased by over three millions and s quarter of dollars. Canada exported $182,677 less of fruit to the United States in 1911 than in 1909 ; and Canada imported $2,527,846 more of fruit from the United States in 1911 than in 1909. Where is the " Wider Market ?" What will happen in the next two years, if the pact goes into force ? The American mechanic and factory . | Operative is not working full time. Unemployment has curtailed bis ex- penditore ; and the American farmer is saffering in consequence. Under reciprocity the Canadian mar- will as his very own. pr the ity of 18) and the Tories are not pre- concede him more than 30: mean a Government majority of five over the combined Conservative and Nali ist members The principal question of interest to politicians just now is whether Mr. Borden will have a clear majority without the Nationalists. That the majority of members in the next house will be anti-Laurier is conceded. Of the 50 seats practically conceded the Opposition in Quebec, it is practi- cally certain that 20 will be taken by old time Conservatives who will attend hood of s group of men trying to hold the balance of power in the next House. Nevertheless it is most im t the Conservatives all over the coun send as many supporters for Mr. Borden to the next Parliament as possible. That he will be the next Prime Minis. ter is not seriously disputed, but it is important that as Prime Minister he should have a good working majority. LAURIER'S POLICY WOULD WRECK THE EMPIRE, _-- The Frankfurter Zeitung, ons of the leading newspapors of Germany, dis- cussing the attitude of Sir Wilfrid Laurier at th@ imperial conference, BAYE ! " The keynote of the negotiations at the conference has been given by Can- ada, and once again it is a thoroughly anti-imperialistic note. . . What we have in mind is the declarations of thé prime minister of Canada, a declaration so incredible that when we first pub- lished it we were inclined to doubt if our message had m correctly trans- mitted." After quoting Sir Wilfrid Laurier's declaration objecting to consulta'ion on issnes involving the possibility of war on the giound that such consult. ation might oblige Canada to participate in the war if it occurred, the Frankfur- ter Zeitung asks : = " Where does the connection between the different parts of the British em- pire come in at all ?" Tt goes on to say : "Tt is characteristic that al] the chief Liberal papers in England maintain a silence as of the grave on Laurier's de- claration--almost as if the word of command had been passed round to tell them to do so. " Possibly attempts may be made later to minimize the effect of the de- claration, but no one who will read it in 1s context can receive the impression at it was innocuous. .. . " After all, there can be no doubt that the empire would cease to be in oxis- tence, once the colonies really took the line indicated by Laarier's declaration. " The empire would be no more an empire than s marriage is a marriage which only counts in good times and not in bad times. " If the conception of politica] unity is to have any meaniog whatever it must follow the idea so beautifully ex- pressed in the English wedding service, 'for better, for worse, in sickness and in heal " We outsiders can treat this question of the relations between England and her self-governing colonies purely as ternal affairs, and which has now let its economic policy culminate in the reciprocity treaty with the United tates, which is directly injurious to England." i? 2] THE DOMINION ELECTIONS. --I-- Everyone in this district is interested _o include Daily of The Mail and Empire from now to Septem' for 80c, or, if ed, to January ist, 1912, for ¢1, or The Weekly Mail for for Fit rt it over.
