Railroads Behind Reciprocity.

NV views on Canadian reciprocity are
as follows: The articles on the proposed
free list, with the exception OF fish, are
the products of the farm. A treaty like
the one proposed throws the whole burden
on agriculture, and gives no benefit IN re-
turn. The proposed plan is favored by
the great agricultural population OF the
Canadian Northwest, who want our mar
kets for their grain, fruit and dairy pro
ducts and by those manufacturers and
town dwellers who scent cheaper raw ma
teras and lower cost of food products,
Under the present conditions farm pro
ducts of New England are produced at
so low margin of profit that not one
farmer in ten makes any money.
Reciprocity as proposed means let our
farm products into the United States free
of tariff duties, and we will let yours into
Canada free" What would be the result
Which country would gain and which
would lose?
Farmers and all other unbiased people
approve of fair downward revision OF the
tariff, but by fair revision is not meant
free trade in farm products and high pro-
lection in everything else. If hay, fruit,
vegetables, dressed meats, butter and eggs
are to be made cheaper let us also have
cheaper clothing, hardware, harnesses,
boots and shoes, farming machinery and
tools. Absolute free trade with Canada
is much more to be desired than the one
sided, unfair, unjust and grievously OPP
pressve reciprocity arrangement now I'M
der consideration. /,
Who is behind the idea in the United
States? 1t is the great railroad corpora
tons who want the chance to transport
few more millions of our people into
Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia
and Alberta, and to haul trainloads OF
produce from Canada into every state and
city of this country, at their own rates.
They have originated fostered and pro-
NOTED the plan until practically assured
of success, and even now are tiercey
struggling with each other in prodgious
efforts to procure through lines from Can
ada southwark to our great cities. From
your office window you can hear the pound
ing of their steam drill even now, and wit
ness the active operations of two Of these
powerful rival corporations. Whether
congress will favor their plans for increased
wealth and power at the expense of the
farmers of this country remains to be seen,
but if Vermont submits to this without a
vigorous popular protest, it is time that
the pine tree, the COW and the sheaves
of wheat were removed from our coat of
arms.

of such measure should it become law.
1 have lived to see farm property decrease
in values until there was comparatively
no prices or demand and if there was such
a thing as a sale of land far below it's true
value. / have seen farms returning to
forests and farm buildings falling to decay,
the population of the farming communities
becoming less and less, the young people
leaving the farm and entering the cities
and villages all because there was no money
to be made in tiling the land. There. has
been an effort to remedy all this Agri-
cultural schools and colleges have been
established and a general discussion both
by the press and by men and women upon
the public platform of black to the soiP'

am strongly in favor of Canadian reci-

agreement for the great value Of the pre-

Roman Bricks.

that they were not Venetian but Ro-

were made in slices, for In many the

is said that bricks made this way can
bear a greater weight than modern
bricks. The bricks examined were of
the first century. One of them bore
the imprint OF a horseshoe, which

Loss of Weioht In Rowing.

A well known physician in New
York city who has long been identified
with aquatics, says that the average
individual loss of weight in a four mile
pull, whether in race or row
against time, is two or three pounds
Under peculiarly trying conditions OF
heat the individual loss MAY reach five
or six pounds. On the other hand
says this physician, many oarsmen 20
through a four mile pull with the
loss of only about a pound in weight.
This lost weight is fully recovered by
the next day. Proper training is SO ar
ranged in these days that four mile
race comes only when the oarsmen are
thoroughly rested and at the top OF
their training weight, SO that the loss
of weight rarely indicates that the in
dividual is "stale," or below good train
ing condition.

Why Dean Swift Didn't Go to Ascot

Dean Swift was the earliest man OF
note to make mention of the historic
Ascot race meeting. 1t is in one of
his Letters to Stella in August, I'LL,
that the great Jonathan says he saw
place they have made for n famous
horse race tomorrow, when the queen
will come" But being tired with rid
ing a trotting, mettlesome horse a
dozen miles, having not been on horse
back this twelvemonth," Swift deter
mined mot TO go to the race unless
can get room in some coach" AS he
was hindered by a caller all the
coaches were filed before he could
reach one, and as a consequence the
world lost the description Of that
earliest Ascot. that only the author
of "Gulliver's Travels" could have
penned.-London Spectator.

risen so high that Coxwelrs hands
were frozen and he had time only TO
tear open the air valve with his teetl
y. c. Benson tells the story in THE
Leaves OF the Tree" in the North

ley suddenly said:
Il have often thought that the first

must have been a d-dentist."
Some one laughed and said, what

II don't know" said Kingsley. az

peoples threats, and pulling their teet II
about, and breathing their breath, must
be inspired with tremendous desire
to get away and above it ALL"
Coxwell leaned forward and said
very good humoredly, "well, Mr..
Kingsley, it is true that am a dentist,
but it was not that that made me be-
come an aeronaut."

Kingsley, flushing red, II am sure
