SENATOR McMULLEN: IS A- GAINST RECIPROCITY. --o-- Senator James McMullen was a pro- nounced free-trader and unrestricted re ciprocist in the eighteen years in which he sat in the House of Commons pre- g 1900. The Liberals knew few more effective debaters than this dough. 'ty member from County M , and recognized his services with a seat in the Senate shortly after his defeat for the Commons, Here he has -continued to exert an active interest in the gffairs of the coun' The Toronto Globe hag ge gin the senator oe the question of reci procity, and reports him as follows : In thie northwestern district of On tario (North Wellington County) one could not come to a better place to get opinions on the proposed reciprocity agreement, This morning your repre- sentative called upon Senator James McMullen, who was bere from Ottawa to spend the week-end at his home. The senator, as has been intimated only partly in Parliamentary reports, criti- cizes the present proposals for recipro- city with the United States on the grounds of their instability and lack of business foresight. Senator McMullen said that he was in -- in 1856, when reciprocity was in vogue between Canada and the States, aad that he fav- ored it then. This country and the United States were bound in an agree- ment at that time for ten years, and during that period, the senator said, "we flourished greatly, largely owing to the civil war, for they could not both fight and produce." 'to-day, however, the senator lieves that President Teft and the reciprocity e been adopted by the Republicans to make up for the breach t Taft would do. If reciprocity should be adopted for a period of ten years, Sena- tor McMullen belioves that the farmers might benefit thereby at different times> during those ten years, but he rather inclines towards the opinion that such a trade agreement is but the insertion of the thin end of the wedge. * Supposing ee trade in pa tural products were adopted,' said he, "the history of our dealings with the United States has proven that they would bring pressure in one way another to make Canada allow their manufacturers entrance to our markots on the same basis as those of Great Brit tain "I give the Government great credit for their trade legislation of 1897, which brought the British markets closer to Canada and which has developed a fleet of cold-storage steamers to cross Atlantic worth millions of dollars," the senator, _ WESTERN FARMERS' DEMANDS. "I believe that reciprocity will be of advantage to the Maritime Provinces with their hay, potatoes, apples and fish, but I have no sympathy with the Western farmer in his demands," he said. The Dominion had spent $65,000,- 000 on the C. P. R., and before that over a million dollars in taking the Indians off the plains and caring for them, as well as establishing the mounted police at aocost of another million of dollars for purposes of protecting the Western farmer." "In addition to this," the said said a sena- The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway had been undertaken at a cost of $150,. 000,000 aud the senator thought that the country should avoid anything that would mitigate against its success, which would depend largely on inter money, and it was the duty of Cana- dians to help pay for them.

LISTOWEL'S OLDEST RESIDENT PASSES AWAY ers Taggart, Aged 96 Years, Dies ddenly-- Leaves 6! Grandchildren | » i Five Generations. ------e One of Listowel's fine old men, and, ee the oldest inhabitant, died n Wednesday afternoon, 8th inst., in the person of Mr, Robert Taggart, aged 96 years. A few weeks ago one would have thought from his hale, erect ap- pearance that he would easily pass the mark which would make him a centen- arian, but a rather sudden collapse, duo to his great age, was responsible for his demise. Born in the County of Tyrone, Ire- land, in 1515, just after the battle of Waterloo, the deceased came to St. John, N. B., in 1887, and the seme year proceeded to Ottawa, where he placed the cannon for Queen Victoria's corona- tion. Later he became a constable in the capital and passed through many thrilling adventures in the pursuit of bis duty. 'The year 1889 found him in Philadelphia, where he met Miss Eliza Wiley, whom he married later. In a few years he returned with bis wife to da, finally coming to Listowel to live with his daughter, Mrs. A. K. Phillips. j Politically he was a rockbound Con- | servative and at the Jast general election | made a brief but ardent speech in thé} Conservative clubroom.
