Again, If free trade with Canada, on some things is the remedy, then the pro- tecttve tariff on those things must be the cause. But the tariff is not the cause, because free trade countries have the high cost of living as well as here... Can any other conclusion be drawn than that this reciprocity treaty IS sham and 8 llumbug to fool somebody? The farmer raises cattle, sheep calves, corn, wheat, oats and barley which is to come in free of duty. The farmers nor the laborera neither of them eat these things in this form, but they do eat the beef, mutt ton, veal, cornmea1, -four, oatmeal, and drink the beer made from the barley and these in this form do not come in Tree. How will this lower the cost of living? Will some one explain.
 The Canadian cattle, sheen and calves are loaded on the train, and they don't stop until they arrive at the beef trusts slaughterhouses. The Ca madam grains go right through to the milling trust and the brewery trust Did You know that the farmers are 40 per cent. or nearly half of all the 'Gon&tlners of these products. produced by the fafners themselves?

BREED THEATER.

2Ae Ssminoles Sacrifice. an histori- cal romance of the Seminole war is the feature picture at the Breed today and deals with Red Jacket, the most memorable and picturesque figure in tho Seminole war. At the opening of the picture, an English trader buys a GQuaw, but the commander of the American fort forces him to marry her. For revenge, he incites the Seminoles against the whites. but the Indians meet with defeat at every turn and are on the verge of starvation. when General Jackson offers universal am nesty if they will deliver to his camp in irons their chief. Red Jacket. This the old warrior refuses to do, but for the benefit of his people he made the sacrifice of his own free will. and unfetfered by bands of iron he deliv- ers himself to the paleface general. It is a supreme1y strong and impress sive picture, and stands foremost in the line of historical picture dramas of today.
 As usual, {. splendid Biograph story is included on the programme, and in addition, Miss Georgic Landry. a new soprano, will be heard in a selected song programme. including the latest tn4 best in Illustrated songs.
