apparatus are conflicting, many parties
claiming that the fire apparatus ad not
been practiced with for months and
was entirely out OF order. A few brick
buildings alone prevented the total de-

doubt but that the fire was incendiary.
The only bank in the town and the

We encounter opposition TO reciprocity from
those who declare II we enter into reciprocal
trade with one country We must do SO with all
countries and thus indirectly bring about free
trade. do not see the logic of this
and am sure viii not prove what Is predicted
We may enter into reciprocity with one nation
