SPEAKS ON RECIPROCITY,
Last week, the question of Recipro-
city was up in the Ontario Legisla-
ture. A resolution by Premier Whit-
ney was carried .by 75 to 17, voicing
the sentiments of the Legislature
against the agreement. During the
debate Mr. Musgrove, member for
North Huron, spoke on the question,
and the News thus reports him :—
Mr. Musgrove (North Baron) pos-
sesses the faculty of making terse re-
plies to the points 'empbasized by the
speaker, who has preceded him. Thi',
primary rule of debating is violated
by at least eighty per cent. of the
members of the House, on both sides.
They have a set speech ready to de-
liver, and go right ahead with it
fearful to set their thoughts askew
by any digression, or not possessing
the command of the subject that
would enable thein to turn aside the
barb of their opponent. This "clean-
ing up of the other fellow" first is one
of the most relishable features of any
speaker's contribution to a debate.
Mr. Musgrove replied .first to Mr.
111coart's insinuation that pressure
was being brought to bear on the
Government members. "I am not
sitting uneasy in my seat," he said.
"1 firmly and honestly believe that as
far as the national future is concern-
ed, this is not a good thing for Cana-
da, and I do not value my seat one-
tenth as much as the future greatness
of Canada." (Cheers.)
It was said the Conservative party
would have criticized the Liberals if
theyhad refused to accept an agree-
ment. To this Mr, Musgrove replied
that for weeks and months before the
treaty was announced the leading
Conservative papers had opposed it.
There had been talk - of manufac-
turers of agricultural implements be-
coming millionaires under protection,
The Liberals, replied Mr. Musgrove,
had been in charge of the tariff since
1890. "If the farmers have been
ground down and manufacturers
made into millionaires, the Liberals
have been to blame for 15 years.
They should go to Ottawa for re-
dress."
Mr. Musgrove pointed the incon-
sistency of the agreement so far as
the treatment of farmers was concern-
ed, when viewed in the light of the
claims of the Government side. Ile
read a long list of articles used. in con-
nection with the farm, implements of
roll kinds, eutiery,etc., on which the
duty was fixed at from 15 to 20 and
82! per cent.
"Let these free traders tell them
the whole story. Let them tell of
these articles with high duties. Let
them explain that when they vote
for free trade in farm products they
vote at the same time for all, these
duties. The whole agreement, we
are told, stands or falls together."
Mr. McKay—"Do you want them
reduced?"
Mr. Musgrove—"I am not discus-
sing that now. I am simply pointing
out that you are talking free trade,
and vote at the same time• for tying
up a set of duties like that."
Mr. Musgrove quoted prices of
meat at Montreal and Chicago, in
which the former were invariably the
higher.
Quoting the News test vote in a
large Gananoque plant, Mr. Mus-
grove declared that it was the work-
ing men who would feel the evil
effects most. "If they think it will
take away their day's work they
have a right. to oppose it." They
felt that the orders of the West, Al-
berta and Saskatchewan, would go
across to the United States and lessen
employment in Ontario and the east-
ern parts of Canada.
"I represent a constituency of which
the majority are farmers," continued
Mr. Musgrove, "but if I believe that
a wrong step is being taken, that
Canada is entering upon a dangerous
course, I would be an unworthy
representative if I did not raise my
voice against, whatever the result
on the price of barley. Of far more
importance is its effect on the future
of Canada and its relation to the
Monter Land,"
"Woodman, Spare that tree;
Touch not a single bough,
In youth it sheltered me ;
And I'll protect it now."
"I don't appeal to you on the few
cents more yon are going to receive
on wheat, barley and peas,.but on that
higher law, that higher principle,
which means what effect will it have
on the future of this country, on the
nationality na of Canada, n t d and
its rela-
tions with Great Britain, You may

'MISSIONARY INSTITUTE,
The increased interest in missions,
both house and foreign, during the
past few years, and the larger liberali-
ty of the Churches towards mission-
ary enterprises, are among the for-
ward steps of the 20th century.
Especially pleasing is the fact that,
while each .denomination has its own
needs to #finance, yet denominational
lines are for the time being forgot-
ten, and representatives of various
churches gather in one Institute to
learn and discuss missionary problems
and methods. Such was the case in
Wingbam this week.
Monday's sessions were held in St.
Andrew's Church, In the afternoon,
the first address was given by Rev.
W. ,T. West, M,A„ on "The Supreme
motive in missions." This was follow-
ed by an open conference on "Mission-
ary Methods in the Sunday School"
led by Rev. A. F, Armstrong of To-
ronto, "Work among tbe juniors"
was taken by Mrs. F. C, Stephenson
of the Young People's Forward Move-
ment. Mission study classes were
then .formed, and continued until
6 p.m.
After tea hour the Mission study
class was resumed, with Rev. C. J.
Cameron, B.A., assistant superinten-
dent of Baptist Home Missions, in
charge.
At 8 30, Rev, W. J. West took tbe
chair, and after devotional exercises,
Mr. F. J. Bill contributed a solo, and
Rev. C. J. Cameron gave an excellent
address on "Canada's Home Mission
Problem." Ile opened with a refer-
ence to Canada's vast extent, and
needs along mission lines. He then
discussed the subject chosen from
three standpoints : lst—The depleted
Church in rural districts. 2nd—The
City problem. 3rd—The Foreigner
coming to our shores. The subject
was well discussed and the responsi-
bility urged.
After an anthem by the choir, Rev.
A. E. Armstrong, M.A., Assistant -
Foreign Mission Secretary of the
Presbyterian Church, gave an excel-
lent address on "The Awakening
World." In a clear and interesting
manner hespicturedto the audience
the awakening of the nations now
taking place, commencing with the
citadel of Mohammedanism, Turkey,
sketching the missionary needs of
Persia, India, Russia, Japan, Corea
instancing'the power of the gospel in
the Fiji, Hawaii as well as in the
Polynesian islands.
The addresses of the evening were
listened to attentively, and were
replete with interesting facts from
the home and foreign mission. fields.
Tuesday afternoon and evening ses-
sions were held in the Metbodist
Church. In the afternoon Rev. Dr.
Rutledge spoke on "Intercession, a
world force," This was followed by
an open conference on Missionary
methods in the Sunday Sehosl, lel
by Rev. It C. Priest,
Tuesday evening's session was a fit-
ting close for a profitable Institute.
Rev. H. C. Priest spoke with effect on
India, and having spent some years
there as a missionary, his recital of his
experiences, and outline of soeiai. con-
ditions Ivere very interesting.
The choir of the Church rendered an
excellent anthem, and Miss Estelle
Griffin favored the audience with
a well -rendered. solo.
Seldom has a Wingham audience
the opportunity of listening to such a
fine address as that given by Rev.
Canon Gould, Secretary of the Mis-
sionary Society of the Church of
England, entitled —"Christ and Is-
lam." It was rich in information,
well -delivered, and gave the audience
such a view of Mohammedanism as
some perhaps had never had before.
The speaker's experiences in the 13 ast
as a medical missionary and bis know-
ledge of the conditions obtaining
among the followers of Mohammed,
brought clearly to view the obstacles
that the religion of the prophet inter-
pose against the spread of Christiani-
ty. The address Was earxieet, compre-
hensive and inspiring.
The time 'passed SO rapidly that it
was too late to hold the denomina
ti»nal rallies as at first intended.

Died In Brussels.
The Brussels Post thus reports the
death of one well known throughout
the county of Huron :—"On Thursday
morning, March 16th, David Robb,
Inspector of Public Schools for East
Huron, passed peacefully away to his
reward, in his 64th year. He had been
in failing health for some time, but
his ambition kept him going about,
when many would have given up
the fight. Last Monday he was out
for a drive, but had a weak spell later
in the day. Pleurisy asserted itself
and he quietly fell asleep as stated
above. Mr. Robb was born in the
county of Armagh, in Ireland, Dec.
231d, 1847, and in early life made his
hernia at Kingston, where he received
his education, afterward attending
the Normal at Toronto. He taught
successfully for 9 years as Mathemati-
cal Master in the Clinton Qoliegiate,
before his appointment as Inspector
21 years ago, which office he' resigned
last January, his term geexpire on
April 1st. He was married to Miss
Annie Parker of East Wawanosh in
1881, who is buried at Blyth, and after-
wards to Miss Tuck of Brussels, who
survives him. Desiring to be more
centrally located in his work he carne
to Brussels 13 years ago and resided
here since. Inspector Robb counted
his friends by the hundreds and was
most loyal and painstaking in all
pertaining to hie office or work. He
was a Liberal in politics; a Presby-
terian in religion and was a member
of the A. F. and A. M. at Clinton."
An active interest was always mani-
fested in Brussels Pubiie School, the
Public Library, Bowling Club, etc.
He was a great student, splendidly
posted on many subjects and will be
greatly missed.

Read About It.
On page three in last week's issue
of the Advance, a series of articles
began on "How. to raise and care for
the profitable hen," The second
article appears in this week's issue.
Increased interest has been taken in
this industry of late, on account of
the demand for and high price of
eggs. Hence these articles should be
of interest to all who are engaged in
raising fowl. It might not be amiss
for amateurs to cut these articles out
and paste them in a scrap book for
further reference.
