THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, APRIL 11 We must all 1 use e laxatives --we who eat rich foods and exerCise too little. The best way to take them is a Cascaret at a time--when you need it. You know when you need Cascarets, You feel a certain dullness, a depression--perhaps the ap- proach of a headache. You say, "'I must take something tonight." But why do you waste the day? It is easy to keep at your best at all times, if you'll do it. The way is to carry a box of Cascarets with you. Take one i just as soon as you need it. : . Then the clouds rise at once. MY ornare The need for Cascarets is a natural need. Don't think that you are drugging yourself. We must get a laxative some way. If we don't get it through exercise, and through proper food, we must get it otherwise. Cascarets are the next best way, . Ask your Doctor about it. He will teil you that the day of the violent purgative is past. The day of pills, salts, castor oil dad cathartics. Thid is tire day of the gentle in medicine, the natural, the pleasant.

Allow tion of English diplomats. the Treaty of Paris in 1752 the ar- rogance of the American representa- tives and the gullable innocence of the representatives of Great Britain bas been one of the predominating feafures of all arbitration proceedings in which Canada has suffered every time. During the negotiations of the Peace/of Waris the diplomats of the United Stat@® wanted everything and gave pothing. Clause IM of the Treaty of Paris gives to the citizens of the United States the right to fish in Canadian waters just the same as if they were British subjects. Nowhere in the Treaty has the same right been given to citizens of Canada in United States waters--and this has always heen refused--and throughout the negotiations with the United States representatives (Messrs. Frank- lin, Jay and John Adams) Richard Oswald certainly did not show that he was the man to do justice to Can- ada and the empire, An eminent American diplomat thus speaks of his appointment : "The individual picked up by Great Britain was a respectable and amiable gentleman, nominated at the sugpges- tion of Dr. Franklin, with whom he was to treat, hecause he (Franklin) thought he would get along easily with him, but by no means a match for a combination of three such men as Franklin, Jay and Adams." Dr. Franklin gave Mr. Oswald what is now known as the "Canada paper' and had the elirontery to propose that Great Britain should "voluntarily code' the whele of Canada 'and Nova Scotia to the United States. This "paper Oswald had the weakness to endorse and said that he would urge upon Shelbourne the necessity of acquiescing in the proposals made by Franklin. ~ It was not until June 10th, 1:82, that Mr. Fox, secretary of foreign affairs for Great Britain, heard of this remarkable suggestion, Shel t barne 'having withheld the knowledge of the contents of the "Canada pa- pers." His colleagues were * furious; Canada was Great Britain's largest pos- that session, Mr. Oswald deseribed part of Canada south of the great lakes contemptuously as the "back lands of Canada." "A country worth nothing and of no importanee.". Six years 'prior to this that portion of Canada' was described by the United States representatives as "I'he trian- gular track of land between the Mis- sissippi, the Ohio and Lake Erie is the finest spot of earth on the globe, swelling with modérate hills, but no mountains; watered Ly the finest | rivers and of the most delightful eli- mate; the soil, as appears from the woods, with which it is clothed, is of the most abundant fruitfulnéss and vegetation, It abounds with coal, and there are multitudes of salt springs in all parts of it. There are mines of iron, copper aad lead. Wild rye grows there spontaneously." Had this part of Canada been retained by Great Britain her possessions in North America would have heen 4,160,574 square miles, 'This country, which Lord Shelbourne and his colleagues were ready to give away, has an area of 476,080 square miles, and contains now 26,000,000 people, Mr. Oswald's opinion, which, by the way, was valueless, as he had never heen over any part of Canada was that "Canada should be given up to the United States, as it would prevent [u- ture differences and as the government of such a country was of no impor: tance, and he was not without hopes it would be agreed to." Dr. Frank- lin and congress recognized the posi tion intelligently 'as one which would render the situation towards the thirteen colonies, as truly hazardous il Great Britain retained it." "Windle Mr, Oswald was doing his utmost to give away this great ter- ritory, the governments of France and of Spain were "hostile to the exten sion of the United States boundaries through Canadian territory to the Mississippi and to their claims to the Canadian fisheries, The French for eign minister openly argued against the American ocomBussioners in favor of England and positively declared that the demands were unreasonable would bot continue the war for of the Americans and that France Ame erican objects, ¥rance even sent he minister for foreign affairs, M. de Vergennes, to. London, to protest against the willingness of Messrs, Os- wald and Vaughan to give away this vast and arable territory, He per- sistently urged the government of Great Britain to concur with Franee in a concert of measures for shutting out the Amerigans from this territory because it could only be accomplished with the approval and aid of Great Britain. AM. D. Raynival also wrote to the American commissioners: "Ji is clearly evident that the court of London, when it was as yet sovereign of the Thirteen Uolonies, did not con- sider the vast lerritories eastward of the Mississippi as forming part of these same colowmies."" About this perigd in the negotiations the congrésy of the Thirteen Colonies instructed their commissioners secretly that '""Al- though it is of the greatest importance to the peace and commerce of the United States that Canada and Nova Scotia should be ceded, and more par. ticularly that the equal common right of the United States to the fisheries should be guaranteed to them, yet a desire terminating the war has in- duced us to make the acquisition of these objects an ultimatum." Owing to the persistent willingness of the representatives of Great Brit- ain to give away, and the arrogant indifference to the. instructions of con- gress and to the protests of the gov- ernment of France and of Spain by the trio, Franklin, Jay and Adams, were the means of robhing Canada of nearly a half million square miles of territory. The American trio knew the men they were dealing with, bet- ter than congress, or France and Spain or cven Lord Shelburne, and that if they persisted they would gain all they were contending for. More-- the American gommissioners were aware, before the negotiations com- menced, with Messrs. Oswald and Vaughan, that congress had modified and practically limited its ultimatum to the independence of United States and the validity of the treaties with France. But not being as simple minded as Oswald or Vaughan, they did not reciprocate the blundering in discretion of these gentlemen by dis closing to them the confidential in- structions of congress. Congress knew that it was on its last legs. "No money to maintain the army," who were importunate in their de mand for the arrears of pay due them. The secretary of state wrote to Dr. Frank- lin, "Never was there a time when money was more necessary.
