Her Farmers Demand Access to Our
Market.

TORONTO, April Sin the Ontario lecisla-
ture last night Mr.. Graham, member of East
Lambton, moved that .'in the opinion of the
house it is desirable that closer trade
relations should exist between the United
States of America and the Dominion of Canada
and that this house do humbly petition the
legislature of the Dominion of Canada 10 take
such steps as they may deem expedient TO bring
about unrestricted reciprocity between the
United States of America and the Dominion of
Canada" Mr.. Graham said that in bringing this
important question before the house he
was following the action of the
Quebec conference of 1887, and also the Mani
toba Legislature, which recently passed SINH
lar resolution. He said the matter had been
discussed and favorably pronounced upon by
farmers institutes ell over the province. There
was no use in concealing the fact that the
farmers were handicapped by the pro-
hibitory tariff which the Americans had
