At the dictation of the Western provinces, and to provide them with an outlet to the sea, the government of the day undertook the gigantic work of Grand Trunk Pacific and now that this is all changed our people of the west will hereafter find a market for their products in Chicago and other American cities of the west, might â€"we not with reason ask that all work be discontined indefinitely upon this great national project. In the face of these reciprocity negotiations why should any government underâ€" take to build the Hudson Bay Railâ€" road? So too we may ask our legisâ€" lators to forego any further expenses upon the St: Lawrence River or the Welland Canal as national highways to the sea, these not being necessary as a means of intercourse with the Republic to the south of us. _ Country, and thus having completed our task and with prosperity staring every Canadian citizen in the face, and especially the Canadian farmer, then Sir, we are asked to divert our trade into Southern Channels and render our own great highways~ of Commerce a direct liability upon our people instead of a selfâ€"sustaining asset of the nation. _ When we consider the stupendous public works that have been underâ€" taken by the Canadian people, works out of all proportion with those atâ€" tempted by any other nation with an equal population, when we consider the herculean efftorts put forward by our people in order to overcome what at one time was considered insurmounâ€" table barriers, when we have cemented our provinces together with iron bands and practically completed the fabric of a great Canadian . commonwealth, the price of every one of its citizens and a stimulus to the youth of our land to greater efforts in the future, when we have worked out our own problems of national unity and comâ€" mercial intercourse not only within ourselves but also with the Mother Now in the face of these facts, let us ask the farmer while not forgetting his home market, to sit down by himâ€" self and to think seriously of the money he has spent and the results of his efforts thus farâ€"efforts forced upon him and money drawn from his pockets and from every Canadian citâ€" izen by the ostracizing. and selfish policy pursued by our American cousins,â€"and he will agree with me that we all as patriotic Canadians will show our wisdom in adhering to a permanent policy which has led to such golden results and not allow our selves to be carried away with a new Reciprocity bargain of less perâ€" manency than even the Treaty of 1854, and therefore subject to more calamitous results. tance of the term, and in this I perâ€" fectly acquiesce. Since then he has been assisting most materially in pay. ing taxes towards building transcontiâ€" nental railways to carry his products to Canadian seaports, he has also asâ€" sisted in deepening our waterways, and all for the purpose of making perâ€" manent highways, independent of our neighbors to the south, in order that he might divest himself of his surplus productions to the best advantage. Besides this he has studied ways and means and devised plans, and has now succeeded in placing his product upon the British market in perfect condiâ€" tion, suitable to the requirements of a people who when once satisfied remain permanent purchasers and most reliaâ€". ble customers. ‘ Respectfully yours 2.A * Hall Mr. J.

Third, the great demang for Ontario fruit, on account of its quality when it arrives in first class shape.
