TSititl$[.E RECORD QF CHILDREN'S DEATHS. Y As every mother knows the death rate of little ones in Canada, duringdysenty thF hot summer months far exceeds that of any other season of the year. The reas- on fey this is. this is that the excessive heat brings on those dreaded troubles, cholera infantu)n, diarrhoea, and other stomach and bowel complaints. These come on so quicklynd with such little warning that often the baby is be - peed help before the mother realizes he is ill, During the hot summer menthe the tro`her must be continually on her guard to see that baby's bowels arm working regularly and his little stomach is kept sweet and pure. Baby's Own Tablets should always be kept in ' the homeas they are t h e mother's greatest friend. A dose now and then will prevent these troubles, or if they do coin on suddenly they will be quickly banished by the Tablets.

Never in the history of Canada has there been a more important question placed before us, than the agreement proposing a measure of reciprocity trade between Canada and the. United States. The principal feature of the agree- ment provides for reciprocity in trade in the natural prods'cts of each country. Some attempts were trade at first to create an impression that our manu- facturing industries would be adversely affected by it. With the exception of the reduction of duties of from 2 1-2 to 5 per cent. on Agricultural Implements, there 18 scarcely another manufactured article that is affected by the proposed agree- ment. The opposition that was at first sup- posed the man f c tocome from u a torers p ossa has been found to have come from money and privileged clessess in To- ronto and Montreal, who are more in- terested in mergers, combines and large corporations than in the general welfare of the country. agreement comes to b e more the a res b As g fully understood the opposition to it from the manufacturers as an coon- omic question has almost entirely teased.

At one°of the best attended and most enthusiastic conventions ever held in West Huron, Mr. M. G. Cameron, mayor of Goderich, was nominated as Liberal candidate for the House of Commons, at Goderich on Wednesday afternoon of last week. There was a full attendance of delegate% from every subdivision in the riding, and in addi- tion, large crowds of electors from all parts of the constituency came in, and Temperance Hall, where the conven- tion was held was filled to the doors. Two candidates were nominated, Mayor Cameron and Mr. Thos. McMil- lan, of Hullett, but on a close ballot Mayor Cameron received the nomina- tion. The best of feeling prevailed throughout, and was particularly no- ticeable between the nominees, each of whom declared himself willing to do anything in his power to help the other win were he nominated. Mr. H. G. Morris, of Goderich,Presi- dent of the West Huron Liberal Asso- ciation, presided, and in a brief speech thanked the electors for turning out in such large numbers. It showed, he said, that they are fully alive to the importance of the issue when in such a busy time as the present they would attend the convention. Mr. W, Stuart, who nominated May- or Cameron, spoke next. He said West Huron, was fortunate in having two such splendid candidates to select from. It was their duty to choose the strongest man, and support him all the way through. West Huron was an agricultural district, and should have a representative who would look af- ter its interests. He asked the dele- gates' support for Mayor Cameron. Mayor Cameron was given a rousing reception on rising to speak. It was, he said, most gratifying to see the elec- tors taking such great interest in the question of the day. It was the great- est question in the history of Canada, a question not only for the farmer, but for the manufacturer and everyone else. In his opinion, reciprocity would prove of the greatest benefit to manu- facturers from one end of the country to the other, Liberals were not on the defensive in this matter, but on the aggressive, Mr. Cameron said Liber- als should make every effort to win West Huron back. IIe-referred to his service as mayor of Goderich for two years, and said it would be a pleasure to him to represent a riding in Parlia- ment that his father a ther had represented for 25 years. He thanked them for the splendid majority they had given him in 1905, and assured eveyone that if he were not chosen he would be only too willing to take his coat off and work as hard as anybody to elect Mr. Mc - McMillan. 14T'lllan. He splen- did to the , �len- did ability of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and all that he has done for Canada. All that the Conservatives had been able to do was to talk. The Liberals have acted to accomplish things, . Any' ob- jections to reciprocity," said Mayor Cameron, "are puerile." It is the greatest proposition that has ever been put before the people. It will hit the money sharks and those who have been robbing the people right and left. Nat- urally they are strongly against it, but the people will gain if it carries. Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir Charles Tupper were not annexations, yet they went to the people in 1891 with a pro- position identical to that which the Lib- erals now present," Mr. McMillan, spoke next and was given a great reception. It was fine, be said, to see such good feeling at the convention, and it spelled victory for whichever nominee was chosen as can- didate. Sir John A. Macdonald strove most earnestly to form a reciprocity treaty, but could not. Now, when the Government had the chance to get what the others had been unable to se- cure, tae Conservatives were trying to turn it down. If there ever was an ag- ricultural question, the present issue was one. He assured the electors in conclusion that he • would like to represent them, but if they chose Mayor Cameron he would give him his heartiest support. Mr, W. H. Kerr, of the Brussels Post, spoke next. He said he was very sorry to see that the Conservatives had so little regard for the truth as to say that because Canadians are trying to get better prices and markets they are. trying to sell the British Empire When the Conservatives were trying so to belittle national sentiment in this country there were some black spots in their own party they wanted to cover up. "We are going to be loyal to the British Bag no matter what hap- pens," said Mr. Kerr amid cheers. "No one has ever been more loyal than the farmers. The manufacturers have had a long ,inning now, and it is the farmers' turn to have some rights and privileges." Mr. Kerr said he was confident the farmers were going to rise and sweep the country on the reci- procity issue. Notwithstanding that the farmers would benefit so greatly, the -manufacturers would also benefit. A VOICE FROM THE TOMB. No man ever commanded more of the respect and affection of the people of Ontario than Oliver Mowat. The issue before the people to -day was be- fore them in Mowat's time also, and this is what he said of it in a speech delivered in Toronto in January, 1891: - "Do not let anyone make you suppose that loyalty requires any measure which is opposed to the national inter- ests of the country. British connection has never stood in the way of the in- dustry of this country; British connec- tion has been an advantage to us, and Iobelieve,will always continue to be an y advantage to us. You are my fellow - tritons; you are my fellow loyalists, Let us take care that in this matter we are not deceived by those who have an object in deceiving us. Let us all take care that we shall not be drawn Into the absurdity of considering that reciprocity to a certain extent May be a good thing, may be for our advantage may confirm the !orally of our people, may put down all thought of annexa- tion; but that tl at if that is extended a little farther it brings on annexation, brings on anti-British feeling amongst us 1 utterly repudiate that," Sir Oliver Mowat, being dead, yet speaks toy the people of Ontario in these words. THE BORDEN-BOURASSAPLOT. One year ago the Nationalists turned a Liberal majority of over 800 to a minority of 208. One week ago 10,000 people cheered Monk and Bourassa at Three Rivers, a former Liberal stronghold. A Liberal paper of Toronto admits that Hon. Jacques Bureau with 1,60() majority may be beaten by Nationalists. The above in black -faced type in The Tordnto News of Monday last is one of the many indications of the Borden- Bourassa league to defeat Laurier. A. vote for a Borden candidate is a vote for Bourassa and his anti-British policy. IMPOSSIBLE TO RESIST, From the Ottawa Free Press. Hon. G. E. Foster in the House of Commons, March 15, 1888 (Hansard, 1888 vol. 8, page 104.) "I say to hongentemen opposite: Suppose the United States had put a clause in their tariff act saying the very moment Canada makes natural products free the United States will make them free, would we not have a pressure which it would be totally un- possible for us to resist?" Is not that the very situation in Can - da to -day? The United States has made the offer of free natural products. Can the Conservatives afford to resist the pressure of the farmers of Canada for its acceptance? An Election Prophecy,. [Canadian Collier's.] Canada will probably remain 52 per cent Liberal and 45 per cent Conserva- tive in the country at large and 60 per cent Liberal and 40 per cent Conserva- tive in the House or Commons. Ontario will go Conservative, as always in Do- minion elections. Not all the barley Yankee breweries may buy can bribe her from her T.T. E, idols. Quebec will go as Laurier goes -which is to say Liberal The idea in Quebec is the man, not the party. The game is fol- low the leader. Reciprocity may doub- le the price of Quebec hay, but what is all the hay in the world compared to Laurier le Bien aimee? Bourassa, who has started a small sheol of his own down there, can make nothing beta smell. If the Nationalists drag out three or four seats, Laurier will piek themagain arnfnM Manitoba. - toba. h up The Matt g r time Provinces will stand 26 Liberals arid larid 9 Conservatives, e vatives, as at present. If there is any defection it will be to the stronger battalions, for the Maritime Pravinees remember that their golden age .vas when they had an opportunity to trade with the United States on a fair basis. Reciprocity ought to put them back in the swim again Hope talks of four Liberal seats out of seven in British Columbia, but if the Govern - merit holds the twoit has inDick Mc do >11 .a I bully.ac v kit will libe doingi ng well. The Prairiet is nearly sladfarreci- procity. It is the West that harbors the new voter and the opeumind. Itis in the West that considerable Liberal. gains will be trade.
