CAHADIAN RECIPROCITY DEfEATED;
Pirtl tkil Its Besa Prwer for Flftui
Years; Ttnil Bam.
Montreal,' Sept. 22 Canadians
awakened today, confronted by a
startling new .situation, developed
from the fact that- reciprocity
with . the United States was re
jected, that the Laurier govern
ment was defeated and that R. L.
Borden, will shortly be called
upon to form a conservative min
istry.. That the changes enacted dur
ing the past twenty-four - hours
by the : Canadian eleotorate-re
radical,' is shown by th over
whelming majority, whereby the
voters turned down the agree
ment which Laurier .made with
the United States for the mutual
removal of duties on food and
other natural pr )dnots, by vthe
defeat of seven cabinet members
nut of thirteen who went to the
polls and by the political land
slide which retires to private life,
Sir Wilfred Laurier, acknowl
edged as one of the British' .em
pi res biggest figures. Out ? of
nine Canadian provinces only
Qaebeo, Lauriers nativp place,
remained anywhere near faithful
to. him.
Ontario, the greatest of the
provinces dealt Lurir a terrible
blow, going, almost solid against
hiov The same may be said of
Manitoba and British Colombia.
Saskatohewau and Alberta, two
great, wheat, raiting proviuceB
gave minor tappott to reciprocity.
T ie result by provinces epressed
;u returns, ieoeivedrJup to au early
vnt today, showed the following
v : .: Liberals 84, ConBirw
tiVtii!82,. Themtgaitade of the
laudsli ie appears to haw b tunned
the liorals who have held ofSoe
for fifteen consecutive years.
The Jibefais-haTe believed they
were destined to remain in power
many years. Laurier's clean and
gallant fight, on behalt of rwi
preoity is recognised by his op
ponents as well ias supportera .as
one of the rmoat notable cam
paigns v,er;un4ertaken' in Canada;
Laurier is inr Quebec tJay.
Borden is in Halifax. Both
leave ahortly.for Ottawa, Laurier
to close up hia goveramentiTs -fix
fairs, and tender hip . resignation
and Borden to accept the,calls of
the. governor general to torm. a
now ministry and consult with
party- leaders about the appoint-;
ment ot his advisers. It is un
likely the reciprocity agreement
will be heard of again soonin
Canada.
Those who have kept in touch
with the course of Canadian reoi-
nrooitv legislation, the past two
sessions of congress piedist an
effort will be made next session;
to accomplish through tariff leg
islation what was intended to be
aooomnlished through the reci
procity agreement.
This agreement was supported
by Demooratio congressmen on
the around that it was providing
lower tariff duties on -articles
imported to this oountry from
Canada.- They, seised upon the
recommendations joftheadminii
tration because they, considered
them in jfeneral line with the
Democratic policy of reducing
the 'schedules. It is believed the
Democratic majority will giyu-the
subieot attention . w hen , tariff, re
vision work, is undertaken.
