APPEALS TO PREMIER LAURIER Aewipaper Saya Agreeaent Would Terminate Career of Canada as Important Nation and Iso? late Montreal, Feb. 7. The Montres) Daily Star, one of the most wldeh cir? culated Canadian newspapers, make! remarkable appeal to Premier Sir Wilfrid Laurier for the defeat of the proposed reciprocity trade agreement between the United Statea and Can? ada. It says: "Theer la only one man la Canada who can avert the menace that lurks In reciprocity. That man la Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

He is the master of the situation. If he appeals to the loyalty of his followers, there is too much reason to fear that they will vote the agreement through. "But It is equally true that if Sir Wilfrid declares that, on sober second thought, he dare not recommend this astounding commer? cial revolution to a people to preserve their independence, the agreement will not be ratified. "Moreover, such a declaration from Sir Wilfrid Liurler would be far more welcome to the bulk of his followers, both In and out of parliament, than a bugle call stand up and possibly die a bargain which may save the success of Taft In Republican politics, but which will eventually terminate tbe career of Canada as an Important nation. None of us realized the inward meaning of tbe shrewdly framed offer of the long? headed American government when we first saw It.

It was as cunnlug a trap as was ever laid. The master bargainers at Washington uaven't loat their skill." The Stfr then goes on to any that reciprocity, as suggested, would cut I confederation at a half dozen vital points and adds: Would Ruin Canada. "The provinces by the sea will be Isolated, their Industrial future nega tived, the arteries that lead to old Canada will collapse through starva tion and the Americans will think ol them only as a collection of fishing villages. "Quebec will become the 'backyard I and lumber camp of New England Our farm products will give the New i Kngland factories cheap food for their work ultimately rais? ing the price for our farmers; and our forests and mines will feed them with raw materials until they are lit? erally eaten out by the enormous petitea of American industrialism. We will be lucky, Indeed, If the national hemorrhage stops there.

The exodus of our sons and daughters to the New England factory towns, which has been so severe a drain in the past, may well bleed us to death when Mon? treal has been strangled In Its own dead railway lines, when tbe killing of the new transcontinental has killed the legitimate hope? of Quebec city, and when our other promising Indus? trial towns bave found their home market flowing merrily over the bor? der. "Today Sir Wilfrid laurier has the ball at hi? feet. He Is the one man to save the situation. The Canadian peo? ple never watched him ao eagerly, so anxiously, as they are doing at this moment. Thousands of bis best friends hope that he will see the true bearing of the tremendous Issue which lies In his hands and that they can add an- other Jewel to his crown as a pr.triot statesman who loves his country so well that he wouldn't think twice of risking her life to put profits In the pockets of a few clamorous people.

"This not a business matter be is considering; but the political fate of Canada. In the seal of Sir John A. with the eyes of the em- i pire builders of history on blm, with all the future waiting to award it! judgment, he Ii deciding for or against the annexation of Canada to the Amer? ican union."
