The Prince Rupert Journal reports on reciprocity’s potential to boost B C coast coal. It notes Vancouver Island collieries waking to demand, US price effects, and coke vs coal use, while questioning halibut tariff pro arguments and the practicality of removing duties.
The Victoria Times notes Duncan Ross speaking in Victoria on halibut trade. He cites New England Fish Co shipping halibut in bond to Boston then reshipping into Canada with a one cent per pound duty, and 2,000,000 pounds of Canadian waters fish imported from America. He argues duty removal would open a free Canadian market and boost trade with 90,000,000 Americans, while Liberals promote reciprocity but results remain unclear.
The council asks voters to consider a GTP tax agreement and a hydro electric plan costing up to 550000. The GTP settlement would grant city land and revenue from public use or sale, while the hydro project targets Woodworth Lake water supply and electricity, with expert input forthcoming before public presentation.
The text argues the proposition should receive hearty endorsement and that work should begin soon. It calls for an immediate adequate water supply and a cheaper electricity source than a steam plant.
The Victoria Times argues that Liberal business leaders and financiers represent essential national interests. Bankers, land and loan firms, manufacturers, retailers, railways, insurers, and boards of trade are urged to benefit from reciprocity. The editorial stresses broad prosperity over partisan labels and urges acceptance of broader economic aims.
Wholesale and retail traders desert their party to oppose the public proposition, signaling strong opposition. The News-Advertiser notes such cross-aisle defection may indicate the proposition is more dangerous than beneficial to the public.
A graphic history of Britain's national debt over 120 years, compiled by the Statist in London, shows 1792 debt around 260 million pounds rising to about 895 million by 1815, slow repayments later, and major shifts through 1905 to 1911. The piece ends with a dialect exchange about Mr Macpherson and his whereabouts.
