CAMERON AND LEWIS OFFICIALLY
ENTERED IN ELECTION RACE.
The nomination meeting for West
Hurn was held in the A 1Wta1
Hall. Duogannon, this (TbursdayI
afternoon. J. W. Yeo, returning
officer, received the following nomioa-
tiona :
Valcolm Graeme Cameron, of the
town of Goiterieh. barrister at law.
Edward Norman Lewis, of the town
of Goderich, barrister at law.
Chas. Gerrow, of Godericb, was
named as Mr. Cameron's financial
agent, apd Oliver Johnston, of Clin-
ton, acts in *similar capacity for Mr.
Wm. Bailie was elected chairman
for the meeting which followed the
nominations.
Jlr. Lewis was the first mpeaker.
He said he had contended that the
questiou . of reciprocity should have
been submitted tq the people in the
form of a referendum, instead of its
being made the occasion of t► Parlia-
mentary election. Some people eoo-
sidered that he had not come out
strong enough on reciprocity in his
election circular. He did not know
what he would have done ten years
ago, but now he was absolutely op-
posed to reciprocity, and was con-
firmed
oo-firmed in his opinion more strongly
every day. Mr. Lewis then read "ob-
ject lessons" as Contained in his later
election address. including the letter
from the Western Canada Flour Mille
Co.
Referring to the declarati-ins of
Messrs. Elliott and Graham. of Gode-
rich township, as published in rite
Signal last week. Mr. Lew*. bad a.
declaration made by Mr. Elliott in
Clintradiegliptiniabe bad nut told Mr.
Dancey MINIM things. ln(regerd to
the other, Mr. Lewis said bs would
accept any statement of Yr. Graham.
but would not take it from Mr. Dan-
ce
Mr. Lewis went bast to the recipro-
city question. and gave it as his opin-
ion that the agreement could n sr he
annulled by Canada. hacking this up
by, a quotation. from Sir Wilfrid
Laurier's address to the delegation of
fruit men. He contended that the
market for our horses was in Western
Canada. He admitted that years ago
some of the leading men of Canada
had favored a reciproeal agreement
with the States. hut Canada bad got
along all right without it and did not
now need it.
Mr. Cameron followed end pluoged
at once into the reciprocity question.
The production of Lille country waw
only in ita infancy, he said, quot-
ing the statement of Sir «'i*liaam
Whyte that in 1910 the area of lands
sold in Sa.katebewan wee equal only
to the road allowance of the Province.
isn't it a better thing. he asked, to
have three markets instead of two?
There would be the home uterket,
the British market and the United
States market. If a man had an ar-
ticle for sale, was it not Netter to have
ten bidders rather than one only ? For
fifty years attempts had been trade by
Canadians of both political parties to
'recur. a renewal of the old reciprocity
treaty. During the whole period of
his political existence Sir John Mac-
donald had made this endeavor. and
until the introduction of the agree-
ment in the House of Commons by
Mr. Fielding it was not a party ques-
tion. "Times have changed," but how?
1f the United States market was de-
sirable when Canada's production was
snail, how much more desirable now
when production bad vastly increased.
If a Conservative Government bad
been in power it would have taken
exactly the same stand as the Laurier
Gnrot ha. done.
Nver. Oanmemeron urged his hearers to
use their own judgment ae to whether
the agreement was a good thing or
not -not to mind what others 'aid
about it, The old trick was being tried
of dividing the farmers on party lines,
while the people who believe'] their
interest' were being imperilled
would all vote one way and carry the
day. Woukl the farmers allow them
to do ib ?

Mr. Cameron showed from the cor-
respondence between the representa-
tives of the United States and Canads,
respectively. that the recipmocity
agreement could be cancelled at any
time by either country. and urged
that it he given a trial at least, Ibis
was the only opportunity the Cana-
dian people would have of getting
what they bad been looking tor; if the
offer now made were rejected it would
not be repeated for a lifetime.
R. 0. Harvey, of Vaughan town-
ship, spore in behalf of Mr. Lewis. He
said be was a farmer and just wanted
a chance to talk to the farmers. He
ridiculed the idea that the United
States would take our wheat and
pointed to Great Britain a9 our true
market. The old reciprocity days, be
said, were prosperous in Canals be-
cause of the Crimean war and the
American revolutionary war. Sir
Wilfrid Laurier was quoted as thank-
ing heaven that the days were over
when Canada wanted reciprocity.
The agreement would let down the
bars to the twelve 'favored nasions"
who in the past six,years had *hipped
into Canada goods to' the average
amount of eve and a half millions s
year.
Yr. Harvey claimed that the Canes
dlan nsarket would be flooded with
cold storage eggs from the United
States The apple industry, he
claimed, should he protected : Canada
could not compete with apples frotn
the United States. In regard Lo
horses, the Western market, for the
next fifty years would be the greatest
in the world. On the barley question,
the Dingley tariff had shown a better
way of using our barley, namely, for
feeding purposes. As for hogs, they
had mem by the thousands In the
States ready to swamp the Canadian
market. and Canadian farmers would
get uoly three or four dollars a hun-
dredweight for their bogs. Farm
values in tb. New England States
were vety low, while farms in York
county were selling at $1,0t1l an
acre.
In dealing with the pulpwood ques-
tion, Mr. Harvey got rather mixtr,t in
his figures, but finally got himself
straightened out and went on with
bis argument that pulpwood should
be kept for manufacturing in this
country. Reciprocity would link the
prosperity of Canada with the depres-
sion existing in the United States.
Thomas McMillan followed In be -
hall Cameron, e first
time of in MLr.he history of CanadFortha, he
said. a great economic question bad
begs taken out of the hands of Parlia-
ment and submitted to the people for
their judgment. He quoted Sir John
A. Macdonald as sufleieut authority
for the statement that the reciprocity
treaty ot 1854-96 was of great ben-
efit to Canada, and Sir John had :p •rat
the balance or his life in endeavor lug
to secdre a renewal of the treaty.
Mr. McMillan spoke of the great farm-
ers' deputation to Ottawa in Decem-
ber last. when the first demon,' on
their list was for a reciprocal arrange-
ment with the States. After the in-
terview with the Government on that
occaaion, said Mr. McMillan, "Hon.
Geo. E. Foster came up and shook one
by the hand and told ins he was in
strong sympathy with the demands
which the farmers were making."
Mr. McMillan told of how the pre-
sent opportunity rime about -how
the people of the United Staten ha.l
revolted against high protection, and
bow at almost the same time the
farmer,' of this country had engaged
in an agitation to secure the Un,ted
States market. "Why is it we are
engaged in a life and death struggle to
secure this boon? Because the party
of which Mr. Lewis is a umber chose
to reverse the policy of all the great
leader' of the part
Mr. McMillan then went int() the
question of prices, ytooting front en
official publication. Hay was neat ly
five dollars a ton higher in Buffalo
this year than in Toronto, and great
quantities were being shipped to the
United States in the face of the duty.
Barley was 30c it bushel higher in Mit-
telo than in Toronto. Ontario could
produce the finest barley in the world
and In five yeare the production would
double if the United States market
were open. Barley was not a high-
class atock food, but it was • vet v de-
sirable feature in rotation of crop=,
and it could be sold profitably and r
much hotter feeding stuff be obtained
for leas money.
in the last five and half year, the
average price of hogs in Toronto was
5fi tib, in Huffalo 57.Ti.
Mr. McMillan spoke at *rime length
on the bore. question, with which he
is intimate through many years deal's'

ada ships many hor..e to this United
