HENDERSON, Minn.. Jan. 19.-Quite a
sensation has been created here by the
arrest of of A. G. Buck, editor and pub
Usher of the Sibley County Independ-

Horace Soper, of Gaylord. He was
taken forty miles across the country to
Gibbon for trial, but did not make any
defense, whereupon he was found guilty
and fined, and took an appeal to the

purely spite work. The general Opin-

Hon. Charles Upper, minister Of marine and
fisheries, delivered an address to the Young
Conservative Club at Chatham, Ont, last night.
He dealt chiefly with the agricultural aspect Of
the political situation, dwelling on the relative
condition of the farmers in Canada and those
In the United States. He held that in pros
perity and progress the Canadian farmers were,
man for man, as well of Is their agricultural
neighbors across the line.
THE position Of the Canadian government
today, he said. sis this, as to our relations
with the people to the south: That while
friendly disposed and anxious to trade with
them, If we may do SO with propriety and with
profit, we would not be led into any arrange
ment that would detract from the national dig
asked their government time and again to sit
down and talk as to what mutually good ar
rangement we could make, but such requests
had been refused, and the recent proposed
negotiations had been interrupted and de-
ferrcd on q childish plea"
He then said that who began the proposals
was Of no consequence. The real question was
could Canada negotiate a favorable treaty.
We have made proposition, he said, and now
wait for our neighbors to tell US what their
mind is on it. We lay down this as a guiding
and governing proposition--that in our condi-
tion and prospects today We, rs q conservative
government, stand independent Of any action
Congress may take on the question Of reciprocal
trade"
Minister Upper concluded with an earnest
appeal to the young conservatives to remain
true to Great Britain, and to preserve an atti-
tude OF Independence III respect to the COM
mercial policy of the neighboring republic.
