mers responded, many driving for
20 miles to attend the meeting. In
that gathering only four were to
be found, and they were of the
military or professional class, who
would declare themselves against
the measure.
One of the interesting signs of
the times in Winnipeg is the in
tense interest taken in the ques-
tion.
Ten men in ordinary walks OF
life, ranging from the cigar stand
attendant at the Royal Alexandra
hotel to the street car conductor
with whom / rode up town, asked
offhand what they thought Of reel
procity, knew what the question
was, understood it far more thor
oughly than the average citizen
of the United States, and were
unequivocally in favor of it. They
were anxious to talk about 1t,

seemed to think that IL would Wit

The politics of the reciprocity
matter in Canada are peculiar.
Manitoba is a conservative gov
eminent. The majority of it's
constituents in parliament are rep
resented by conservative members.
The Fielding reciprocity pact is a
liberal party measure, therefore
the conservatives at ottawa are
fighting the measure tooth and

their constituents do not approve

Western Canada Wants Free Trade
With u. S.--The Freer the Better
Editorial Note-The Times
John Burgess to

BY JOHN BURGESS.

| BY JOHN BURGESS.
WINNIPEG, April 10-The peo-
pie of Manitoba want reciprocity.
They want reciprocity such as
has been proposed in the Fielding
pact.
But they also want reciprocity
in a greater measure, especially
free farm implements.
They want reciprocity to what
ever extent that they can get 1t
as soon as possible, hoping fer
lvently that they will eventually
get the fullest and freest ex-
change between Canada and the
United States of all articles of
commerce on strictly competi-
tive basis.
The imaginary line between the
great dominion on the north and
the great republic on the south
has no terrors for them. The cost
of living, the manipulation of
prices, gang government has.
There is an opposition, of
course. There is always an oppo-
sition with anything which the
people want, and that opposition
in this case, as in similar cases in
the United States, where some
would thwart the popular will for
the benefit of the few, is stage
managed, press-agented and sub
|sidized.
The people with money in Win
lnipeg are not very strong for reci-
|procity. The people who have axes
30 In xrrhA ffo1, antn
ests, who are tied up with monop-
olists, the manipulators, the graft
ling game of high finance, are some
times openly, sometimes secretly
against reciprocity. The reason
they are sometimes only secretly
against reciprocity is because the
popular demand for this measure
is so strong in Manitoba that some
of them dare not take a decided
stand against 1t.
A convincing instance of the
strength of this demand for reci-
procity In Manitoba Is shown in
the editorial attitude of the Win
|nipeg Free Press, the paper with
the largest circulation in the west.
This paper is owned by the Hon.
Clifford Seton, chairman of the
conservative committee of Canada.
The Hon. Mr.. Seton is a business
man who in the last few years
has made a great deal of money,
which he spends on a castle on
the st. Lawrence, yachts and
things, but he knows how to run
a successful newspaper, and he
does not allow personal ideas to
interfere with his investments.
Therefore, the unusual spectacle
is presented in the Free Press Of

pair were encored time and again.
For some reason or other the

lacking. Taken as whole, how
ever, "The Merry Widow" will be
found to retain Its old popularity.
