A Substantial Result.

The campaign on this side OF the line
in favor OF freer trade with Canada is
already meeting with substantial results
In the way Of Canadian response and a.
tendency to delay tariff changes affect
ing the United States until 1t can be de-
termined whether the United States real
~ purposes to re-establish reciprocity with
Canada. The farmers of Canada are con-
tinually urging that, now that there are
signs Of awakening interest in Canada on
the part of the United States, 1t Is mop
perfume for the Canadians to raise their
tariff There is no longer any danger of
such a change during the present session
Of the Canadian parliament, but it Is worth
while to call the attention Of our readers
to the argument against such an increase
made by a delegation Of Ontario farmers
that called on Premier Laurier and FL
nance Minister Fielding. The farmers
said that they. were opposed to an increase
of the tariff for these two reasons
First-We believe this cannot take place
without adding to the cost of maintain
ing our families and carrying on the opera
lions connected with our farms.
Second-Because we consider these bur-
dens quite heavy enough as they are.
In support Of these claims the farmers
made very ingenious argument along the
following lines: A large part of the goods
imported into Canada free Of duty Is man
ufacturer's raw material. But If the man
ufacturer Is to have free raw material
why not give the farmer some? Stee
used in making agricultural implements
is no more raw material to the manufac-
turer than agricultural machinery anc
supplies are to the farmer. The farmer
finished product is what he sells, and tt
have produce to sell he must purchase
and use supplies and machinery. The Ca
madam farmer cannot buy a fanning-mill
grain crusher or a windmill from tn
United States without paying rs per cen
duty; his imported sewing machine j
taxed 80 per cent; his hay-tedders an,
field rollers are taxed Is per cent; on nj
spades the revenue is IS per cent; nj
imported ready made clothing Is taxed
per cent.
! In conclusion, the farmers cited tn
/ many evidences of leaning toward reel
procity on the part of the United States
and gave as their opinion that no sure
means of blocking ''the movement In tn
limited States in favor Of reciprocit
4 could be devised than for parliament

One pleasant phase Of the dispute be-

is not the least tendency to look upon a

JOHN WAS INSIDE

A story is told of young man named
John P, who, being in poor health. went
to India. His family had instructed him
not to spare expense, but to cable three
times week how he was, and what he
was doing. The first cable message ran:
Am we'll. Have native guide, Inja.
Hunt tigers tomorrow"
The next communication did not arrive
till two weeks later. It was this:
John dead. Killed. Tiger. What
do? -Inja."
Back went the fearful message:
"Send on body"
A month later there4was delivered to the
keeper of the receiving vault at M
cemetery box, or coffin, so large and
heavy that 1t might have been the home Of
a second Cardiff giant. Suspicion hav-
ing been aroused, a permit was secured
and the sealed coffin opened. To the
CONSERVATION Of those present there lay
the body of magnificent Bengal tiger
resting on white satin. The following
message was soon racing across the At
| lantic:
'some mistake. You send tiger.

The following information was soon re-
! ceived:

gard to the improvement at Bridge
Square. suggests that not all the sentt-

the proposed improvement OF the city's

Haggling Colombia,


the views of Senior Pulecio, one Of the
leaders Of the conservative party in CO.
Ilombia, on the isthmian canal treaty, re-
fleets, no doubt, a. formidable sentiment
among Colombian public men.
The disposition Of Colombia to tenn
,porize in the hope of securing much
larger price for the concession Of the canal
strip has been manifested all along. |
Pulecio has large ideas and names $685.

sion, without discount, concession or
reduction" and $1,ooo,ooo yearly rental
for the canal zone, Colombia not to be
responsible for any claims arising against
the canal company, while the United
States Is to recognize the sovereignty Of
Colombia on the isthmus.
The offer made by the United States
the representative Of Colombia and
awaiting ratification on the part of the
Colombian congress, s.$10000, 900 for the
canal concession, and $350,OO0 yearly
rental for the canal zone. The large ad-
vance asked by Pulecio reveals the game
Of Colombia with much distinctness. 1t
is to force our government to raise the
present stipulated price for concession and
rental.
This obstructive policy is especially
aggravating, arrangements have been
made for the purchase Of the Panama
Canal company's franchise for $4O,000,000.
The Colombian congress has until Sept.
% to ratify the canal treaty, and it is
very certain that no such money as
ment, which has made one advance al
ready. and it is understood that it is the
ultimate advance.
The point about Colombian sovereignty
made by Pulecio is absurd That whole
subject has been we'll threshed over. 1t
is especially stated in the treaty that the
sovereignty of Colombia over the isthmus
shall not be impaired, and that the tenure
Of the United States shall only exist thru
"a renewable lease Of the canal strip
Pulecio's statement that the Colombian
government does not enjoy defective
sovereignty over the isthmus, because
the United States has landed troops there
whenever 1t wanted to, shows the senior:
ignorance of facts. Our government la

bodied in the thirty-f fifth article of tn
treaty Of 1886 between the. United State
and New Granada. This treaty apple

United States of Colombia. Under thi
treaty our government last year lande
troops to protect the Panama railway, a
it was bound to do. that being an Ameri
can chartered enterprise. The sover
eighty of Colombia is adequately and dis
tinctly recognized in the treaty.
The United States has no idea of hold
ing the canal strip and constructing tn
canal under the directions of a trick
and mutable government like Colombo,
No power on earth would put money int
such an important work subject to c.
lonbian WITNESSES. We lease the str
