The meeting was held at the instance of the member for the House of Commons, Major Currie, by the Conservative Association and the farmers from the _ surrounding coun- try were invited to come and hear something about teciprocity. I. Long before the hour set for the] meeting, the hall was- lled to over- owing. The hall acc.ommodat_es 600' when the aisles are packed, and sev- eral -hundred had to be turned away; The speakers of the evening were:} 71': (V -n. 3.. -I.--\.\ -. !-Hon. Jas. S. Du, M.P.P., Minister `of Agriculture; Alex. Ferguson, M.P. P., South Si`mc,oe, and Major Currie, M.P.* Mr. `John Mackie, J.P., occu- pied the chair, and with him on the platform besides the speakersof the evening 7vere:-Mr. Alex. Earl, Mr.4 `Boyd and Mr. Jas. Mo_ore, the Ward-; Ion of the County of Simcoe. 5 A pleasing feature of the gather-j ing was the programme of music pro-; vided` by the Presbyterian choir, who} sang patriotic songs in the intervals; between the speeches. 4 - ` 1 At the, conclusion` of the speaking, the chairman called for a show of hands on the question of reciproc- ity. Only five hands out ofthe 1,200 in the hall went up in favor ofl the pact, while the rest of the and- ience voted to a man against it. Reci- procitydoes not seem to have very` many friends now in this part of the country. A 1 l Mr. Mackie, the chairman, in open- ing the meeting, referred to the great interest taken in this question, espe- cially by the farmers. He pointed out that the question would be discussed by the speakers from a farmers standpoint. a From 9. Farmers standpoint. i i Mr. `A. Ferguson. M.P.P.. was the rst speaker., Mr. Ferguson is a prac-_ tical farmer, and took `up the ques- tion of prices to show rst how the farmers qwere able to always seciire good value for their grain by feeding it to their stock, and secondly to quote from _letters in. his possession lproving that hogs and live stock in- variably brought a hi2'her'price in Toronto than in Chicago. Mr. Fer- guson also pointed out that the West was growing so fast that it would be impossible for that section of_ the country to supply its own dairy and meat products for some time. This was the great home market that took the surplus from the East. He point- ed out that this was the market the Americans.were after. Farming con- ditions had changed, in the last 20 years, and to quote the politicians of, 20-years ago. as being`in favor of reciprocity, might be all right for them. but it would? be as silly to ask the farmers of today to go back to the farming methods of_20Vyears ago as to" ask them to support reciprocity now. a - A ' . Hon. Jas. S. Du said that as the representative of the farming com- munity in the Ontario Cabinet he had given the ,. question of reciprocity great thought and study. _As a prac- tical farmer he was unhesitatingly `opposed to reciprocity. The standards of both intelligence and living among the farmers of Ontario were far hich- - er than among thevfarmers of the United States; and by close atten- tion and study of farmirur the .On- tario` farmers were the most thriving and wealthiest of their class in` America. The change proposed` would -deprive them of the stability of the home market, a market that gtook ninety per cent. of all;-that they pro- duced on their farms. If theyghad . tq dependon. the fo_reign.mark'et they could not dispose ofjany producep ex- cept that `of- the very `highest quality. ,Ouly. a. small percentage rot [what -the es. made by fMr.'. 0. =0. 4 "James -and `Prof. ,Cre1nr.Ian_ -to:-.8119!

Charles Lawrence who hails from Orillia, while engaged .in sewer con- struction . work on Clapperton St. on Monday, got into an` altercation with a fellow employee, James Smith, the outcome being that the former is now doing 20 days at Cast)e Sissons. The scrap w-as conned to lthy epithets! hurled at each other for a time, 1111-! til one invited the other to do battle` outside the -trench. This caused Law-, rence to strike Smith with a hammer,i the force of the blow being broken by Smith s arm. The handle of the`ham- mer struck Smith s eye, badly `dis- coloring pit, and .a few minutes later, Chief King was summoned and arrest- ` ed the militant workman. He was lodged in jail and when he appeared before His,Worship' Mayor Beecroft [on Wednesday ,morning, was. given the option of contributing $2.00 and costs or 20 days in" jail.
