SENATE COMMITTED TRIES TO STIFLE RECIPROCITY Finance Committee Reports Bill "Without Recommendation"���An Amusing Resolution from Toronto���Vancouver Board of Trade Votes Down An Anti-Reciprocity Resolution (Special to the Optimist) Washington, Feb. 24. -The opponents on reciprocity in the Senate tried to give the proposed trade agreement its quietus tonight when the McCall bill was reported late in the evening by the Committee on Finance, "without recommendation." This of course will not prevent an active debate on the subject when the Senate takes up the subject, but thc fact that no recommendation is made is an evidence thai t he opponents IN SUPPORT OF RECIPROCITY PUBLIC MEETING IN McINTYRE HALL SUPPORTS A RESOLUTION ENDORSING PROPOSALS FOR FREER TRADE VOTE WAS A UNANIMOUS ONE In Lengthy Address Mr. J. S. Cowper Dealt With Some of the Principles and Issues Bound Up With Reciprocity Proposals���Showed That It Was Necessary to Develop the Fisheries of Northern British Columbia��� Resolution Was Sent By Wire to Ottawa RESOLVED: That this meeting of the citizens of Prince Rupert, held tinder the auspices of the Prince Rupert Liberal Association, do hereby express our strong approval of the Reciprocity or Freer Trade agreement so skillfully framed by the representatives of Canada, covering the policy approved by both political parties since Confederation, the ratification of which we believe will increase .the material and financial welfare of Canada while in no way interfering with Canada's autonomy or imperilling the Imperial Preference which Canada at the instance of the Liberal Party has freely given to Great Britain. Above ia the text of the resolution passed unanimously by a large and representative meeting of Prince Rupert citizens at the close of an able educational address on Reciprocity by Mr. J. S. Cowper. Thc resilution was moved by Mr. 0. R. Naden. and seconded by Dr. Kergin. Prince Rupert is keenly alive to the inportamce of the reciprocity question and in spite of the potent counter attraction of the Hospital Opening supper and dance, the Mclntyre Hall was thronged last night by an enthusiastic audience anxious to hear the treatment of thc subject by Mr. Cowper. The speaker of the evening was introduced by Mr. A. J. Morris. President of thc Liberal Association, who called attention to the fact that the idea and actual practice of reciprocity arrangements with the United tates are by no means new and unt ricd. Under Conservative regime in 1854 and for a period of twelve years thereafter, reciprocity in natural roducts had been in operation between Canada and the United States successfully. Statesmen since then have been continually endeavoring to renew the arrangement. "Now under Sir Wilfrid Laurier," said Mr. Morris," it looks as if a renewal were to be arranged." Speech by Mr. J. S. Cowper In opening his speech, Mr. J. S. Cowper complimented the iieople of Canada and of British Columbia especially, for the way in which they had refused to be stampeded on the recip- procity question. People usually paid little attention lo economic questions, assuming that they were difficult for any but legislators to understand. Even two such orators as Cobden and Bright with so clear a case as that for the repeal of the Corn Laws, found it took seven years to convince thc people of England that a whole loaf was better than half a loaf. The Tariff Idea Dealing with hia subject, he showed how the very origin of the word showed that it was originally used lo denote a tax which the Moorish conquerors of Spain exacted on all imports aa they passed in at the gate of Spain at Tarifa. Hc traced the growth of the tariff idea showing h w as the era of manufacturing hurst on the world, the theory was advocated that as those nations which were manufacturing most were the wealthiest therefore a "balance of trade" must be observed. Any nation which exported more than it imported waa looked upon as prosperous, on the general theory that they were selling more than they were buying. Accordingly the tariff was used to artificially restrict imports. The theory was at first Right a reasonable one, but there was a defect in the argument. A nation was not a department store, it was a consumer. The goods which the tariff sought to restrict were good things which thc nation needed. If a nation succeeded in exchanging ils products for a larger value of goods which il needed it was good business, and the nation benefited. Increases Cost of Living The effect of the tariff he pointed out was to increase the cost of living. It was a tax on thc necessaries of life, just as clearly as if the taxpayer stood in the doorway of every store and levied a toll on every purchase made. Where the goods had not actually paid a tax to the Government their cost had been brought up to the cost ol the imported goods which had borne taxation. That and not the prime cost of the products determined the selling value. Jolted the Premier Premier McBride had bemoaned in the Legislature that the agreement would be followed by an inundation of poultry and dairy products from California, Oregon and Washington. This vision of crates of eggs and bales of turkeys coming into British Columbia without paying tolls to the C. P. R. seemed to bc a fearful one for the Hon. Richard. But how could they come? Only because thc people of B. C. wanted them. And the people of B. C. would only want them if (hey were fresher or cheaper eggs and turkeys than those which were brought from the East. For Natural Trade That somwhat erratic genius Stephen Leacock in an hysterical appeal on behalf of reciprocity had told thc people that for half a century we had struggled to carry on trade in defiance of the laws of geography. Well we would struggle no longer. We would let trade take ils natural course. The dairy farmers of the East would not worry. They would have a market of ninety million people thrown open to them just across or reciprocity have got a grip on the Finance Committee in (he Senate. Ottawa Is Interested Ottawa. Feb. 25. The action of the Finance Committee of the United States Senate in reporting the McCall bill "without recommendation" has aroused much interest here. The leaders of tho reciprocity movement in the House express regret that the committee did not see their way lo make a favorable recommendation, but they are sanguine as to the final outcome of the bill when il gets before the Senate. The reciprocity debate was laid over for today in order that the appropriations might be put through. A Little Ahead of Time Toronto, Feb. 25. The Toronto bran- h of the United Empire Loyalists Association last night patted B strong resolution condemning reciprocity on the ground that a "preferential tariff from Great Britain will soon be granted to this country if Canada continues to stand by the Empire." Vancouver Supports It Vancouver, Feb. 25. The Vancouver Board of Trade by a vote of 10 to 7 have voted down a resolution condemning reciprocity which a member introduced. MEN ON STRIKE AT KITSELAS MUCKERS AND MACHINE MEN LAY DOWN THEIR TOOLS (CONTINUKD ON LAST PAOK Claim. That Work is so Hazardous That Increased Wages Should be Paid���Several Men Have Been Killed Lately. Claiming that the hazardous nature of the work entitles them to more pay, the men employed on the contract for building the Kitselas tunnel have gone out on strike. Eight men have been killed there during the pust month. The machinists who have been getting from $,'! to $4 a day demand $5, and the muckers an increase from %li to $5.50. The increase has not been granted, and some of the men have returned to town. This morning a train load of men went up the line. It is believed they arc to replace thc ranks of thc men on strike. SECOND HIGHWAYMAN DIES Was Shot in Battle With Seattle Police Thursday Night (Special to the Optimist) Seattle, Feb. 26.

But we do not despair, for we believe that human ingenuity once embarked on a conservation policy will manage to preserve this last great resource of ours, the blond." The Wife'a Income Switzerland has invented so many novel experiments in legislation affecting its citizens that it is not whollj surprising to learn that the Swiss have now attempted to fix, by law, the extent of the rights of a wife to a share in the income earned by her husband. Thc Swiss law is that hereafter a wife may claim one-third of the family income, and may at any time establish her right to one-third of the property owned jointly by thc married couple. Apparently there have been few instances under thc new law of an actual appeal of a wife to the courts to establish her right to her share of the family income. The chief effects of the law, up to this time, seem to have been to cause cold shivers to agitate the backbones of penurious husbands in other lands. In this country the practice is so common of the husband bringing home his entire income (less a small allowance of personal expenses) to his wife that the Swiss law will attract less attention. up with similar results. All potted plants should bc watched. Rub a pinch of the soil between the fingers. If it crumbles up without caking, then you know it is time to administer water; if it cakes, then there is still enough moisture unabsorbed. The water should be of the same t m- perature as the room in which the plants are kept, and should be clear. Vancouver Victoria AND Seattle Thursdays, at 8.30 p.m. U.

Coast S.S. ...... iway CELEBRATED BACHELORS Excuses Some Famous Men Had for Not Getting Married Treatment of a Cold The possibilities in a common cold are such that the wisest course is to call a physician and be regularly treated. Quack remedies are dangerous. Remember that the brain is in close relationship with the nose and its accessory cavities and that inflammation and infection of these cavities, if not recognized in time, may lead to abscess. "Cold cures" often mask the symptoms without curing the disease. Heavy doses of whisky and quinine often do more harm than good. In emergencies when a physician is not within call the foollowing measures will often check a cold: First���A mustard foot bath as hot aa can be borne, lasting'twenty to thirty minutes, the body being enveloped in blankets to induce a profuse per- ���piralion. Hot lemonade, hot flaxseed tea or ten to thirty drops of spirits of camphor in a glass of hot w ter will assist thc action of thc bath. Among authors we have Pope, Goldsmith, Lamb, and Macaulay. The feeble health of "the wasp of Twickenham" stood, no doubt, in the way of his marrying. Goldsmith had not the same exceuse, but in his case it was quite as well that he passed through life as a bachelor. A single man who habitually spends twice as much as he has is never likely to make a wise and prudent husband, even though he has the rare fortune to fall in with a model of feminine sagacity. Lamb "that frail, good man," as Wordsworth calls him, was a bachelor, not from choice but from affection. The singular loyalty with which he devoted himself to his sister in circumstances of melancholy interest prevented his marrying a girl whom it appears he truly loved. Lord Macaulay, though he had warm domestic affections, was never married. He rested content with thc loving sympathy of his sister Hannah, the wife of Sir Charles Trcvclyun, whose children were to him as his own. Handel, Reynolds, Turner, Sir Isaac Newton, and Cavendish, were among thc men illustrious in art or science who remained bachelors. ss.

Both were at their best then, January 10, 1899. McCoy was a marvellous boxer with a punch out nl all proportion to his weight. Sharkey was 20 pounds heavier, built like a lawed-oS Hercules. When the *i|*ht be-jan it looked as if the slighter man could hardly have u chance to stand oil the husky sailor's rushes. But he did stand them oil. Sharkey had been training under Tommy Ryan's tuition, and Tommy Ryan wanted lo show how much he bad taught him. Hc told Sharkey to be clever and box. That was pie for McCoy. Hut the foxy Kid came to the i-onclusion, alter a little while that ha must knock Sharkey out or risk being worn down and beaten. McCoy was one bundle of nerves. Hia nerve strength was tremendous. The spectator" around lhe ring could see McCoy gathering himself for one terrific punch. In a moment the chance came and McCoy put every ounce of strength and vitality he bud into one effor.. He drove his right upward lo Sharkey's chin. The impact of t he blow- fairly lifted the sailor from his feet and turned him over in the air so that the back of his head was the lirst thing that struck the Moor. Sharkey, very badly dazed, managed 10 sit up and take n. onnt. while McCoy smilingly waited, confident that Sharkey would never rise in time. Sharkey did. And gathered himself again lor a single ellort. McCoy put all the force he had left into another flat- ti'iiing. This time Sharkey sal down, looked puzzled and jumped up. McCoy hud beaten himself. He hud used all of his strength in a vain ef fort. When he saw Sharkey rise he knew that he was beaten. Sharkey, a stolid man without nerves, had taken McCoy's most deadly punch, and wus on his feet again as strong as ever. Realization of the fact thai he couldn't knock Sharkey out affected McCoy's high strung nervous system. He was like a man with a double barreled shot gun who had fired both loads and didn't have time to slip in another shell. Tom O'Rourke chased Tommy Ryan from the sailor's comer and ordered Sharkey to "cut out boxing and fight." Sharkey tore into Mi Coy and gave him a fearful mauling. McCoy sneering and dancing, stalled wilh all his wonderful skill, but he couldn't keep away and he couldn't gather force enough to deliver another knock down. At last Sharkey cornered him on the ropes and shifting in the style made famous years later by Ketchell, swept his list into McCoy's midsection and nearly broke him in two. McCoy was counted out as referee could have counted a hundred. Powder and Paint Barred Kansas City, Mo., Feb. '.'..

This was the case yesterday when William Manson, the member for Skeena, is reported as having said: 'The policy of holding lands may be all very well, but if no lands were sold no taxes would come in and no people, and the progress of the province would be at a standstill.' This statement needs no comment except that we cannot believe there are any more, even of the Conservative members, who could make such an exhibition of themselves."

Last Night's Resolution The resolution passed unanimously by the large meeting in the Mclntyre Hall, endorsing the proposed reciprocity agreement, is an effective answer to those spokesmen for the Province who have endeavored to create the impression that the people of British Columbia are opposed to reciprocity. Last night's meeting put it beyond cavil, and showed in the most effective manner that "the thinking men and women of I'rince Kupert arc in favor of establishing freer trade relations with our neighbors to the south. The action of the Liberal Executive in throwing the meeting open to all citizens both ladies and gentlemen, in offering the platform to any who might bc opposed to reciprocity, and in keeping the meeting free from party politics demonstrated the wisdom of the policy. It cannot be said that the expression of the large meeting is not the expression of the great body of the citizens of Prince Rupert. J5fmt^_i*WAi_ia*^ Ranchers! Prospectors! Hunters!

Third Ave���Tel. 3 ead The Optimist And Get All the News VALDEZ SOLVES COAL PROBLEM ALASKA TOWN TAKES MATTER INTO OWN HANDS They Were Paying $15 to $17 a Ton��� Now by Owning Own Wharf the Citizens Get it for $9.50 a Ton.���A Tip for Prince Rupert. The port of Valdez in Alaska like Prince Rupert has been agitated of lute over the high cost of eoal. Mayor Boyle und his council have solved the problems, not by going on u wild goose expedition utter coal claims, but by owning their own wharf and buying direct from the mines. When the subject of a municipal wharf wus first broached, the owners of the private wharf threw every obstacle in the path of its uccom- plishment, at last appealing to the courts for an injuction restraining the municipality from purchusing the only available wharf site. The injunction wus denied by Judge Cushmun and the last obstacle removed. Immediately steps were tuken to purchase the old Reynolds wharf which was bought for $4,700. The wharf has been in disuse for a number of years and at an estimated cost of $2,500, the roadway and buildings will be placed in u substuntiul condition. Valdez uses 3,000 tons of coal annually for which the consumers pay from $15 to $17 per ton. ln many instances when this fuel is bought in small quantities, the. purchaser is compelled to pay the exorbitant amount of $20. With the operation of its own wharf, the city will effect a saving to its citizens of $15,000 annually, as coal of a better grade cun be sold on the. dock for $9.50 per ton, a saving of $4 to $7. It has been carefully estimated by the city government that thc expense of maintaining the wharf and handling the coal will be paid out by Its method in buying the long ton, or 2,240 pounds and selling to the consumer thc short ton, or 2,000 pounds. This difference will be placed in whut shull be called the "coal fund" and out of it will be taken the salary of the wharfinger und other expenses incidental to operution.

A. WHITE Second Ave. - and Eighth Street D. H. MORRISON he Optimist S0c PER MONTH Very good reports are being given of the development of the Hidden Creek mine situated not very far north of Prince Rupert, and recently bonded by thc Granby Company. Five thousand feet of diamond drill cores have been taken out since the middle of November last year. Nine holes were drilled, and ore in substantial ledges and good average copper content was found in each hole. One of these holes was driven from thc main tunnel, and located ort at a depth of HOO feet from the surface. In this mine a very favorable feature is that ore can bc reached at depth by open cuts thus cheapening mining. During the continuance of cross- cutting operations in the main tunnel j u second promising ore body has been struck at a distance of 850 feel down, and other exploratory work is making promising progress. Hidden Creek mine according to O. 13. Smith, superintendent of the Granby mines, is likely to be one of the big producers of the Province in the near future. Interviewed by the "Phoenix Pioneer" the other day, Mr. Smith expressed the very best opinions possible of the pro|ierty after a recent visit ol inspection.

R. DAVEY Pub. Dec. 3. Wilson GowinK. Agent thc line. Hon. Mr. McBride had made it clear that we need nol worry. And with the increased prosperity that would follow the removal ol restrictions on trade even the C. P. R, need not worry. Wm. Whyte their second vice- president, in an interview had admitted that reciprocity had to come. Killed by Protection It was rather an absurd idea for any one to hold thai prosperity could be artificially produced by tariffs. Special individuals might be made wealthy by tariff manipulations, but only because they drained the wealth that other people had made. The United States fifty years ago with an even chance of b coming the greatest maritime nation in the world put on heavy duties on her shipbuilding. She wanted to protect her- shipbilding. Well, how did it turn out? In the language of the medical profession "The operation was successful, but the patient died," (laughter.!. The United States with coal and iron and large timber areas protected their shipbuilding out of existence, while the norlh of Ireland with neither coal nor iron nor timber, but with arms wide open for all the good things other countries had lo offer had become the great shipbuilding yard ol the world. Hita the Workingmen An appeal had been made to the working men, on the plea that protection increased wages. Hut that was not so. Protection tended always to increase the price of commodities. The working man was not a seller of commodities. He was a seller of labor and exchanged his wages lor commodities. How could it benefit him? His best interests would be served by reciprocal trade relations with his neighbors which would reduce the cost of commodities and enable him lo live more richly on his wage. Our Fruit Induatry The lumber men of the Province had already declared in favor of reciprocity and only the fruit growers remaineil in doubt. But there was a market for every fruit grown in the Province, and for much more. It was absurd to declare that a Province that had carried off most of the highest prizes for her fruit in England would find her fruit industry ruined if reciprocity curried. That was the unkindest cut of all. The truth was that Californian fruit did not compete with our fruits in Canada, for the reason that they were on the market six and eight weeks before the Canadian fruits were ripe. Proving a Fallacy Thc fallacy of protection was proved by the application of its theories. If it was a good thing to protect the citizens on either side of the 49th parallel from one another so as to make them rich, why not do so the same for the dwellers on either side of the 50th parallel? If it was going to make us rich to protect ourselves against Washington on our south, why not against Alberta on our east? If as is alleged we should protect ourselves against countries most like ourselves, why not protect Vancouver and Prince Rupert from each other? Why not establish a tariff between Prince Rupert and Port Essington and make us all rich? (Laughter). Helping the Fiaheries Referring to the effect on the industries of Northern British Columbia, Mr. Cowper pointed out that the whole salmon pack of British Columbia last year was 738,485 cases. This looked big until we put it alongside of the Alaska pack of 2,.'191,000 cases. Why was our pack so small? It was not because we had not the salmon. There were lols of them. It was not because of the quality. The B. C. salmon was a better fish than the Alaska salmon. It was because we had not the market. A market of 90,000,000 salmon eaters was shut away from our salmon, and we from them, by a tariff wall of lc a pound. That was one of the things the recip- procity agreement would sweep away. (Applau e). If reciprocity is ratified the B. C. salmon pack will be doubled right away. Many canners already were preparing in advance to double their plants, in the belief thut reciprocity would carry. The same thing would result in our halibut and herring fisheries. Northprn British Columbia would hum if reciprocity curried. The Annexation Bogey Before closing, Mr. Cowper denounced the attempts which had been made to ii.Maim* the minds by fears of unnexution, and by representing thut reciprocity wus opposed to the development of Imperialism, ln thut campaign Hon. George E. Foster wus the chief offender. But what were the fucts? From 1854 till 1866 a reciprocity agreement hud been in force. Canada wus almost un orphuned colony in those days but she did nol join the Stales, ln 1891 lhat great Conservative patriot Sir John A. Mucdonald endeavored to get the treaty of 1854 renewed in vain. From 1878 till their departure from office in 1896 every Conservative government hud a standing offer of reciprocity. In 1891, Sir John went to the people and secured a mandate to secure reciprocity. And who was his Finance Minister in those days? It was the Hon. George E. Foster. (Laughter). Mr. Cowper closed with a plea that all citizens who vulued the best interests of lhe Dominion should stand together in spite of all appeal! to party and to prejudice for better trade realCons between the two great nations on the North American continent. Two Kinds of Engliahmen In moving the resolution passed, Mr. G. R. Naden mentioned thut. he hud once seen in the London Spec ator a statement by an Englishman who hud spent a year in Canada, to the effect thut it wus impossible for uny Englishman to live for twelve months in Canada and remain u Free Trader, Mr. Naden very promptly wrote to the Spectator emphatically stating that he knew a certain Englishman very well indeed who hud been over twenty vcurs in Canada und was still more thun ever u Free Trader. The Englishman was of course, himself. Reading over the resolution Mr. Naden pointed out, however, thut by reciprocity absolute free trade is not implied. Every Lady a Free Trader From his experience in a frontier town, Dr. Kergin is convinced that when the franchise is extended to the ladies a great body of confirmed Free Traders will be udded to the electorate. "From the manner in which ladies invariably enn-.e across the border," he suid. "I feel sure thut every lady is u born Free Trader." tCheere;. Dr. Kergin resented the insinuation that reciprocity was the first step towards ultimate annexation of Canada by the Stutes. The loyalty of Cunadians for their country, and lo the British Empire is not a mere matter of trade and business relations, he declared. (Applause). But reciprocity none the less meant a drawing together of the bonds of union between the great Anglo-Saxon ruces. President A. J. Morris then put the motion to the meeting. It wm greeted with u storm of "Ayes." Not a single voice wus rai-.nl in dissent. The result of the meeting was wired last night lo Ottawa. Dance! Dance!
