M-1 FIERCE RECIPROCITY CAMPAIGN IN CANADA THE RESULT IN GRAVE DOUBT, BUT PACT WILL PROBABLY WIN BY SMALL MARGIN.- CORN BELT BEST AGRICULTURAL REGION Montreal, Portland and Condition^ Ontario, Quebec and'Northern, Portion, o,f New England. It was interesting to observe for few days the fierce political cam paign now -aking place in the Dora inioii of Canada. There are un doubtedly many differences between the liberals and conservatives, buit at the present time the reciprocity pact with the United States is the all important question. I tried to get some light on the grobable out come of the contest by talking with traveling men, but as a rule they were so partisan I could give but lit tle weight to their opinions. One of these traveling men with whom talked was so certain that recipro city would be beaten, that he said he- would be walling to bet his life on the result while another was juet as positive that it would win. The liberals had a majority of 45 in the last Dominion Parliament, md Sir Wilfrid l.aurier predicts that they will double that majority it the- flections to be held in a few lays. While on the other band 'the. conservatives claim that they will ain 4S members. A gain of hal that number would defeat the pact. From all I could learn I incline to the opinion that, the liberals will win by a small margin, but some lays I felt that the margin would be he other way. The Canadians have nationalism to an intense de^r'.e, and the cry .ias been raised by the opponents of reciprocity that it is a Yankee ?cheme to annex their count ry. It is concluded that this cry wili have .ittle influence upon progressive and intelligent Canadians, but it will change some votes without a doubt, .t is also conceded that there will tie very many changes among the iinglish speaking voters at the com ing election. .Many liberals w.ll v-ote for conserval ive candidates, be cause they consider a closer com- ate re at relation wit lis the. EC- STROYED BY FIRE. Vuited fcj^theiv noil ler country. 'i\nd, on the o.litr aand. I talked with conservatives who said they were going to vote this year with tlie liberals, because the ippurtunity to secure freer trade re- pie must necessarily be of great ad vantage to their coitntry. I do not believe that there will much change among the French Canadians of Lower Canada. Th?y V0ve Sir Wilfrid and will vote for hira no matter whst they may think ibout reciprocity. We rode on the same train with Sir Wilfrid' from Montreal to St llyacinthe, a distance of tliirty-fi\t_ j-.ik-s. Where he went to attend the funeral of a pi-ominent member of -.arliamei/t, and had a chance t' ee how the lH-oplo greeted him. He is a tall, active man, with a kind intelligent face, and is/about 7 years of age. Even a casual ob server would know at a glance that lie was a leader of rtien. He will. Ii »!d Ji's own in Quolioc all riyht/but reciprocity is a reaching ques tion and lio-vone can tell what the jijit.eome will be in the other pro vinces. The Canadian lninut'acturers are, md witli good reason, afraid of the American trusts, and some, if not til, of the Anierkan trusts view with alarm the knocking of a hole in tlie tariff, wail. And it is openly charged that the American (rusts and the Canadian manufacturers are supplying' the conservatives with all the money 'they can use to en^om ass the defeat'of reciprocity. Be this as it may, thrr conservatives seem to ibe well supplied with mon ey, and are contesting liberal s'rong holds where they never tri"d to elect candidates before. The people of the United States ind Canada are practically the same, and they should not .build ar. i ficial "barriers be'wren them. For that reason Sir Wilfrid has our bes wishes. It is 33-1 miles from Toronto to Montreal, and a far-a-way look at the landscape, alr.ng the line of the Uraad Trunk By., between' those tw eitics, does -not disclose any great difference from a similar look at the landscape- in Delaware county. But a closer inspecttoto shows tli"-t this country was all covered with tim ber at one time and that there are few large farms like we have iowa. The farm, homes and country towns,' however, appear neat and thrifty, and there is little in the architecture, the f'rm methods, the business signs or the peoi lo them selves to inform a traveler from Iowa that he is in a foreign land. Those in search of differences might discover a few m-r.re stalwart, broad shouldered fellows up here siying, "don't yer know," than thef would down in the states, but otherwise I discovered very l't'le differ -nre, oth er than crop and soil differences, be tween Ontario and Iowa. In Quebec there is, of course, a difference in the people. The ma jority of tlie inhabitants of Lower fesR-i*.' -f'Jv Canada are French and they hav made Alontrel the metropolis of the Dominion of Canaada. The French language is generally siioken in Mon treal, and the Knglish also,, and the newspapers are printed in both lang uages. Montreal has a population of more than half a million. It is a well built city, granite being chief ly used in the construction of build ings. And small parks in the bus! uess as well as the residence sec tion are a noticeable feature. Ocean steamers come up the St. Lawrence as far as Montreal, and "it is. only In 2627 miles from Montreal to Dui' •lin. This is about 400 miles less than from any port in the United States. As far ns I could learn the French Canadians are a contented and prosperous people and, strange as it may seem to some, they are in tensely loyal to Great Britain, was assured that i£ the question, wa Ieft to a vote of the French speak ing ieople of Quebec, they would re fuse, by an overwhelming majority to exchange the union-jack for the tri-cQlor of France. ..v Our first .stop after leaving Mon treal was at Portland, Maine, which is' a city of 70,000 inhabitants, dis tant 300 miles to 'the southeast from Montreal. In traveling .betw these two cities we passed through portions of Quebec, Vermont, New Hampshire and Mainrt There is a strip of -comparatively level coun try 30 or 40 miles in width along the St. LaWrence river, but all the rest of the way is a heavily wood ed, hilly or mountainous region. Both in Quebec and the above men tioned states the manufacture of Wood pulp is engaged in extensively. Vbove a large wcod pulp mill, I saw a river three times as large as the Maquoketa filled with logs from bank to bank for a distance of eifjht or nine miles.. Portland is a beautiful city and has one of the best harbors on the Vtlantic coast. There aite 3G5 islands in the bay, and they are fortified in in up to date manner. No hostile fleet could break through the se gates of this city. Here the poet Longfellow was born and grew to manhood, and here the noted states man,, Thomas B. Reed.was also born only a few rods distant from the birthplace of the great poet. Reed represented the Portland district in Congress for many years, and doubt less through his influence the harbor ipproaches bristle with modern for:«. I have traveled at different times il! the way from Portland, near th Paclficr coast in Oregon, to Portland ^thei'A^aiitig .jE5?atsia...3y[alne^.and nowhere have I seen, north, south, east or west, an agricultural region ut all comparble to the corn belt of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. We spent the greater part of a day on the ocean between Portland and Boston, and th:,- boat we were on must have passed as many as 40 or '0 whales. I stayed about nil hour and a half on one of the upper decl« and during that time saw 12 or 15 whales, some of them quit? close to the ships ^side, but most of tliem CO or SO rods away. The pilot told me that it was not usual to see whales in that part of the Atlantic but that the herrings he thought w( re tinning now and that the whales had followed them down from t':e Labrador coast. The whales I saw did not spout water every time they came to the surface. As we neared Boston the first town we saw on the coast was Eev ly, where President Tuft has his .summer home. Then a few1 m'les further on we pas-e.l the town where OKI Floyd Orson, with his h.ird onrt, was tarred and feathered and nrried in a cart by the women of Marbleliead. Then Lynn, with its ill smoke stacks, became visible. In fact all three of these" towns can be soon ar the 'same time from the pi lot house of a passing ship. An tld man of the sea is pointing out -the islands, the lights, and the for:s, modern and antiquated, while our hip slackens its speed so as to a.foly1 outer its dock at the intellec tual liuib of the universe.
