CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
Sister Would Like Such
Arrangement; But is Waiting
Move by This Country.

A letter from Ottawa, Canada,
states that the question of reciprocity
between Canada and the Unite.
States is by no means dead, as was
clearly shown by the recent DEBATE on
the Canadian budget in a number of
speeches, which, while they admitted
thaC the United States did not appear
to care for reciprocity, /. would If it
could be brought about on mutually
advantageous terms, re a good thing
for both sides of the line. Many of
the crown ministers and even Sir VIII
frid Laurier himself, the premier, and
described in England as the foremost
statesman in the british Empire, are
favorable to anadian-America1 re-
ciprocity, If it can be had. Sir
Richard Cartwright, minister of trade
and commerc said recen " that there
could be no better British policy than
to do everything possible to encourage
good relations with the United Sta,es.
Senator Lougheed, the con. ervative
leader in the Senate, STATED that he
thought no higher work could be found
by King Edward than to promote the
good relations of the two peoples, and
to bind more closely together the two
Saxon nations. He knew no
happier way of strenst .ening the bond
between the Anglo-Saxon peoples on
the North American Continent than
for the King and Queen to visit the
shores of North America at the pres
ent time.
If reciprocity is not yisibly to the
front to-day it is because public
aninion ~ Canada roo rfc raf.inrncftv
as unattainable and the position of
the anti-reciprocity men who are for
the moment supreme, as unassailable.
Hence, and for no other reafon, re-
ciprocity sentiment is PIT. on the shelf
until called for again, and an ostenta-
tioua appearance of indifference is
in Canada which will be
stiffly maintained as long as the
United States government makes no
forward movement that public opinion
in the Dominion can accept as sincere
and based on spirit of reasonableness
and fair play.

it may do so, but the manufacturers
