The annual meeting of the East Hur- on Liberal Association was held in Brussels on Thursday afternoon of last week and was well attended by Liber- als from different parts of the riding. The following officers were elected:— President, Alex. McLaughlin, of How - ick; Vice -Presidents, Wm. Elston, of Morris and John Gillespie of East Wa- wanosh; Secretary -Treasurer, F. S. Scott of Brussels. Addresses were de- livered by Hon. A.G. MacKay, Mr. W. Proudfoot, M.P. P., and Mr. Archie Hyslop, ex -M. P. P. Resolutions en- dorsing reciprocity and expressing con- fidence in the leadership of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Hon. Mr. MacKay were adopted. A public meeting was held inthe ev- ening when address were delivered by Hon. A. G. McKay, Wm. Proudfoot, M. P. P. and Arch. Hislop, ex -M. P. P. The following is the Toronto Globe's report of the meeting: "That we, the electors of Huron, de- sire to very heartily endorse the pro- posed reciprocity agreement with the United States, believing it to be in the best interests of the people of Canada, especially the agriculturists, and urge the Dominion Government to confirm the proposed legislation at once." It is doubtful if the merits and de- merits of any public issue were ever so thoroughly presented to the people of thecountry, both through the press and from the platform, as has been the reciprocity agreement entered into by the Minister of Finance and his col- league, Hon. William Paterson, yet there is no indication of lagging inter- est. The people apparently realize that reciprocity is the most important question the country has had to consid- er since Confederation, and are proceed- ing upon the assumption that it is im- possible to get too much of a "good thing." This has been evident at all the meetings addressed by Hon. A. G. MaoKay in the past three weeks, par- ticularly those held in western Ontario. The crowds have almost invariably tax- ed the capacity of the town halls. The meeting addressed by Hon. Mr. Mac- Kay here to -night was no exception. The Town Hall is a fairly large one, but it had none too much accommoda- • tion for those who gathered to hear the trade agreement discussed. At the close of the meeting reciprocity was warmly endorsed in a resolution calling upon the Government to put the agree- ment into effect this session. the audience included a considerable num- ber of Conservatives. With one or two exceptions these did not vote for the resolution but, on the other hand, only one voted against it. Hon. Mr. MacKay, by request, paid some attention to the argument that Canadian millers would be seriously in- jured by the rushed of wheat to Amer lean markets. He pointed out thatunder the present tariff system Cana- dian wheat milled in bond may ge into the United States free of duty. It had been argued that Canadian wheat would"not be taken to the States for consuniption, but to feed the large mills, and exported as flour. Free en- try of wheat, be declared, would give American millers no advantage they do not now enjoy in milling wheat for ex- port. It would allow them to use Can- adian wheat in milling for home con- sumption, but in no way could it be ar- gued that this flour was to enter into competition in the export markets with the product of the Canadian mills. The only advantage the American miller would have would be a slightly better market for his bran and shorts.

Final figures of the trade of Canada during the past fiscal year show an in- crease of $81,952,200 in the total vol- ume of imports and exports as compar- ed with the preceding year. The ag- gregate for the year was $759,094,389, or nearly double the trade of ten years ago, and over three times the trade of fifteen years ago, when the present Government assumed power. A GREAT REMEDY FOR LITTLE ONES. That is what thousands of mothers say of Baby's Own Tablets. We have received thousands of letters praising them—we have yet to ret ve a mangle one condemning them, The ,Tablets cannot possibly do harm,evdn to the newborn babe. They contain none of those poisonous drugs whidh make the so-called "soothing' mi tures so dan- gerous to the welfare o the little one. They are a scientific edicine prepared by one of the gre est specialists on childhood ailments and should be kept in every home where there are babies or small children. Mrs, Fred McCart- hy, Pinewood, Ont., writes: "I have used Baby's Own Tablets and have found them a great remedy for the little ones, I would not be without them." The Tablets are sold by medi- cine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. •--•rte LIVE STOOK MARKETS. BULLS FOR SALE.

FYPE, Wingham P. 0 Toronto, May 1—Union Stock Yards. —Receipts were 66 cars, with 1,345 head of cattle, 84 sheep and lambs, 40 hogs, 44 calves, and 40 horses. Trade was fairly active, with mod- erately good demand for both export and butcher. The opening of the St. Lawrence navigation and sailings from Montreal booked for Saturday next, has slightly stimulated the export trade, and there was a better demand for heavy cattle than a week ago. Butcher cattle were in normal de- mand, neither too active nor too slow. Prices were on the whole steady, with a slightly firmer tone, but quotations practically unchanged. Feeders and stockers in fair demand, to go on grass, Sheep and lambs steady, and un- changed, with very light receipts. Hogs, market very weak, and prices 15c lower.
