CONGREGATIONAL Canvass I'm Missouri.
We have strong hopes Of sending an entire Wing
delegation 10 Congress this year from Missouri In
every district we have industrious, Popuiaf strong
Wing column with zeal and energy that must be
crowned with success. The feud in the ranks Of
our opponents is daily growing more bitter; and
this violent disruption Of the party bands which have
30 long united them together and caused them to
shut their eyes and minds against the light of Wing
truth, will be the means of bringing thousands OF
sensible, well meaning men TO candid examina-
ton of Wing principles And once examined, they
will be very of adoption, for they look TO the
ultimate welfare Of the State and the elevation OF
our people and institutions to the highest point oil
civilized excellence
One strong element of success in a campaign Is,
= confidence that we have the strength and the pc.
sition to succeed if we make proper use thereof
IL ID To satisfy Wing friends in Missouri that
they have il in their power to win "clean Wing
victory !" and u thorough one that we invite their
attention To the confederation OF sketch Oh the
battle field. Here is an array OF the candidates,
and of the dsposable force Of the two parties in
each Congressional district in the State;
District John F. Darby. Wing; F. A. Rozier
Benton Democrat; Jas. u. Bowln, independent
Democrat. Vote for President In lo4o-Iayior,
7,446 Cass, SAIL.
District H-Gilcbrist Porter, Wing; John b.
Henderson, Anti Benton Democrat Vote for Presi-
dent in lS45--Taylor, 6,403; Cass, 6,929.
District H.--John G. Miller, Wing; John Mil
Ter, Benton Democrat; Jas. s. Green, Anti Benton
Democrat. Vote for President in lS4S-Taylor,
,2O9 Cass, ,tl2.
District IY.--Chas. E. Bowman, Wing; J. d.
Gardenhire, Benton Democrat; w. p. Hall, Anti
BENTON Democrat. Vote for President in 1915
Taylor, $3.50; Cass $500.
District V.-Sam. IL. Woodson, Wing; j. 5.
Phelps, Benton Democrat; General WIN. Shields,
Anti Benton Democrat; Colonel VIM. Gilpin, In
dependent Democrat. Vote for President in 1915
Taylor, 5,605; Cass, S,775.
Each candidate in the above list, with the ex
ception of Colonel Clipping has been put forth by
his respective party friends as the exponent OF dis
tinctive party principles. Colonel Gilpn, we be-
eve, claims to be running the invitation OF both
Wings and Democrats; but he must be strange
specimen of Wing who will neglect Sam. Hood
son. and cast his ballot for Colonel Gilpin. Judge
Bown is also considered somewhat anomalous,
but he will not fail to get the entire Anti Benton
vote of this district, together with good many
anti test Benton men, for there are numbersof such
in the district.
In every district, then, except in the second each
party, Wing, Benton and anti Benton, has its cho-
sen (or, in of Bowlin, its permtted) cham
pion; and will cast all its strength for those cham
pions. This scarcely fail to give the Wings
the plurality in every district; and In the first
districts, in consequence OF the extensive dlsaec
ton in the Democratic ranks. we confidently ex-
pect majority over the combined vote OF both lac
tons. We are if the Wings will do their
duty faithfully, such will be the result; and they
have certainly every incentive to action II
will be by reference to the Presidential vote
in lS4S that the majority against the w higs IN
those three districts was comparatively light. III
is true there is only one Democratic candidate IN
the second district but he is douby committed
against Benton by his vote for and his continued
support of, the jackson resolutions" 1t cannot
be supposed that Benton's friends in that district
few or, if few, so craven hearted as to cast
their ballots for man inveterate against them
and their leader. They will, in all probability,
preserve proud and sullen inaction.
We expect to derive advantage from their divs-
ion--not only the present advantage OF temporary
victory, but permanent advantage In the iainnS
of party scales from the eyes Of large masses OF the
Democracy, amid this confusion in their own ranks
Both factions free to proclaim the patriot
ism, past and present, of the Wing party, and al
not dull IN percelvng that their own party mas io'
many long years held the reins of power in Mis-
souri, to no purpose whatever in building up our
great State, or promoting the peoples welfare
When the masses come to see this, and " nhd tht
the Wing party is the party OF improvement, OF en-
terprise, of advancement we shall find them CIV
ing Wing ballots election day. We hope ere
long to see Missouri decided and reliable Whig
State, and to this end we urge the Wings every
where 10 union, harmony, and unceasing acton

has the following excellent remarks upon the gen
era principles involved in the Canadian reciprocity
bill, and the lesson to be learned from the urgency
with which il is pressed by the provinces and thu
mother country, in reference to the colonial or free
trade system on the one hand, and the American o
protective system on the other
"FRKr TRApE WITH CANADA.-The Polk AM
Gated not many years since, the policy of free
on the ground that its adoption would open an un
limited market in England for our agriculture
products. Now, we have Canada, backed by Eng
land, asking TO open our markets to the agricul
tural products of Canada. What does this teach
1t should teach something of what the agrcuifur
of the United States is indebted TO the protecnV
policy for their markets. III Canada, which nj
ever enjoyed the blessings Of free trade with Ens,
land, finds herself in a condition to beg for the al
vantagcs Of market in the United States, built ~
for fdrm'rs by protection TO manu- dcfres
if the interests of the farmers OF Canada would b
promoted by access TO this market, he must be dul
of apprehension who cannot sec that our farmer
to the same extent benefited by the sale OF thei
products in this market. And If, with all this grca
home market of ours, and the consequent compare
lively small amount OF our agricultural produc
which seeks a foreign market the Canadian farmer
with all the advantages Of free trade, finds himse
unable TO find in the old world sufficient marke
for his products-and withal he finds his condition
far inferior to that OF the American farmer tia

made use Of every means within her power sor fort
years TO prevent the growth of this very market
