NOTES AND COMMENTS
Hielon for Feet Huron.
The Liberals of East Huron want to
be up and doing and elect Aroh Hislop.
Let every L•herai in East Huron, by
hie vote and influence, assist in electing
Arch Hislop.
"Our heart is in the future—in unity,
harmony, peace and concord for our
beloved Canada."—Sir Wilfrid Laurier
at Tilbury.
Hon. A. B. Avlesworth left Ottaw a
for Toronto Tuesday night, and will
spend the next few days in his constitu-
ency, North York.
William Lyon McKenzie King, De -
puty Minister of Labor and grandson of
the famous rebel of 1837, was unani-
mously selected as the Liberal candid-
ate in North Waterloo, and he accepted
the nomination.
The Canadian pavilion at the Franoo-
British Exposition is proving a splendid
advertieement for Canada. Its success
from an immigration standpoint cannot
at the present time be ascertained, but
it is proving a success from an advertis-
ing standpoint, as it is daily visited by
thousands.
A remarkable invention said to be of
considerable value in surgical opera-
tions has recently been p,'rfeoted by a
firm of German manufaotarers of sur-
gical .instruments. This is a :device
whereby a noiseless electric spark,
one half inoh in length, is formed at
the end of a glass rod, and this is used
in surgical operations instead. of a knife
The spark incises the tissues with ease
and without the application of force,
and the bleeding from the wound,
which shows no signs of cauterization,
is much freer than from a knite wound.
The electric knife is perfectly sterile ,
and a great source of danger in sur-
gical operations is thus done away
with.
Mr Borden in Nova Scotia was tell-
ing the people that the expenditure is
too high, and calla attention to the
expenditure in 1896 and , to. day.
Strange to say, neither he nor the Con-
seryative press explain that the business
done is greater, the revenue greater, the
prosperity greater, that everything is
greater since 1896, except the Conserve -
votive party. Before the eleotion Mr.
Foster will be confronted with men,
who will dispose of his mendacious
statements and show the people the
kind of man who undertakes to put
himself forward as a censor of public!
men. The so-oalled scandals will be
dealt with and the inaocnraoies and
falsehoods of the Opposition will be
exposed.
The tenth Parliament of Canada has
been dissolved and the electors will be
asked to say by their votes on Monday,
Ootober 26111, whether or not the pres-
ent Government has deserved the re-
ward of another tenure of power. The
date is a little earlier than originally
selected, as the Government found that
all arrangements for putting the
maohiuery of the eleotion law into
operation oanld be completed in time to
put the date forward two or three days.
Moreover, it was considered that Mon-
day would, all things being considered,
be a more oonvenient day for the gener-
al public than a midweek day. The
Government is going to the country in
the confident belief that the verdict of
the electors will be a repetition of the
verdicts given to 1900 and 1904. Re.
ports received from every Province in-
dicate that the outlook for the Liberal
cause is most favorable, and now that
the Ministers have had a chance to feel
the political pules of the people in their
respective Provinces they are in a most
optimistic mood. In fact, the general
public opinion, as far as Dau be gathered
here, is generally that there is practical-
ly no doubt but that the present Gov•
ernment will be returned to power.
The Oanadian Confederation is no
longer a baby State. It is almost
forty-one years—November 6, 1867—
siuee the first Parliament of the Do-
minion was convened. To -day the
tenth Parliament is dissolved. The
Parliamentary term is five years, ac-
cording to the British North Amerioa
Act, but only one Parliament has lived
out its full term. The last Parliament
of Sir John Maodonald's Ministry was
dissolved on February 3rd, 1891, and
its successor was not dissolved until
April 24th, 1896. Sir Wilfrid Laurier
was palled to offioe on July 11th, 1896,
after the decisive Ooneervative defeat
of June 23rd. He has gone to the coun-
try twice since. Dissolution was on
October 9th, 1900, and September 29th,
1904. On each occasion the Govern-
ment's majority has been increased.
THE WINGIIAM TIMES, SEPTEb1BRR 24, MS
ing expansion in the local demand for
foodstuffs produced on Oanadian farms.
The assertion may eately be ventured
that great as has been the development
in the market beyond our borders the
development in the home market has
been greater still,
All We progress is not the result
of chance. There is a reason for it.
The chief explanation of the onward
movement in agriculture le found in
the intelligence, industry, and pro-
gressive spirit of the Canadian farmer.
Much is owing to the admirable work
done through the Agricultural College
of Ontario, the Farmers' Institute Bye -
tem and the agricultural prase of the
Dominion. But it is simply stating a
Not when it is deolared that one of
the prinoipal inflaenees in making for
progress emanated from Ottawa.
The work of the Dominion Govern-
ment has told in many ways. The Do-
minion Experimental Farms have dis-
seminated a vast fund of valuable in-
formation regarding varieties and
methods. Many of our most profitable
grain crepe had their origin in samples
sent from Ottawa, The Seed Division
has performed a most useful service
in securing greater purity in the grain
and plover seeds sold to farmers by
merohants, The fruit Division,
through its monthly reports in the
season of production, has kept fruit•
growers informed as to the crop and
market outlook, and has thus given
information to growers which has
enabled the latter to market their pro -
duots to the best advantage. The same
Division, by its effective supervision
of packing, has given our apples a
standing in the British market, which
ensures an average selling pride of
about a dollar a barrel over American
apples, The Dairy Division, by demon-
etrations afforded through plants
bait for the purpose, has convinced
oheeaemakers of the value of cool
curing and a vast improvement in the
quality and price of Canadian cheese
has followed as a consequence. The
average value of the cheese produced
in Ontario in 1896 wee a little over 8o
per lb ; in 1905 it was over 10 cents.
Not only has a valuable educational
work been -carried on through the Do-
minion Department of Agriculture,
but through that and other depart
menta practical work has been done as
well. By providing for a refrigerator
oar service and cool chamber space on
shipboard it has been made possible
to land our fruit and dairy products
in the British market in the best pos•
sible condition. Through the Railway
Commission again a rednotion in cost
and improvements in service have been
forced upon the parrying companies.
These reductions have added at least
one cent to the farm valve of every
bushel of grain marketed in Ontario,
fifty Dents to the value of each beef
bullock sold, and between five and ten
per cent. to the returns obtained for',
a given volume by producers in the
Niagara fruit district. Finally, by
means of commercial agents stationed
at leading trade centres in Great
Britain, and through displays at great
exhibitions, our products have been
kept steadily in the eye of the British
buying public,
In brief, the Dominion Government,
by wise direction and intelligent as-
sistance, has materially aided in in-
creasing the volume of farm production
and in securing for producers better
returns for the fruit of their labors.
It is eminently fitting that a Gov-
ernment whioh has done so much for
material well being on the farm has
now undertaken to give the farmer
city conveniences by delivering his
mail at his own door.

THE THREE HURONS.
The general eleotlone for the Domin-
ion Parliament will be held on Monday,
October 26th. The Liberals of Huron
county are well organized and this
county ahculd give a better showing for
the Laurier Government than was the
case in 1904. The Liberals of East
Heron have a good candidate in Aroh.
Hislop, ex - M. P. P. Mr. Hislop has had
a number of years' experience in the
Ontario Legislature and is now looking
to the electors to send him as their re-
presentative to the Dominion Parlia-
ment. Mr. Hislop is a clean politician
and is held in high esteem by the elec-
tors of the riding. He will be opposed
by Dr. Chisholm, the late member.
Last election many Liberals were led
away in the belief that Dr Maodonald
would be elected, and voted for the
Conservative candidate so he should not
be "too far behind." This eleotion the
Liberals are united, and with a pull al-
together Mr. Hislop can easily be made
the next member for East Huron.
In West Huron, the same two candid-
ates are in the field, Robt. Holmes,
of the Clinton New Era, for the Liber-
als, and E. N. Lewis, of Goderioh, for
the Conservatives. We are looking to
the Liberals of that riding to redeem
themselves for the mistake that was
made in 1904. Mr. Holmes made a good
representative and did a great deal of
good work for the riding. With a unit-
ed party behind him we look for a Lib-
eral gain cn the 26th of October.
In South Huron, the Liberals have
again nominated M. Y. McLean, of the
Seaforth Expositor. Mr. McLean won
in the bye -election early in the year and
with the party united and well organ-
ized will plane him at the head of the
poll.
'the three Hurons for Laurier should
be the aim of the Liberals and with hard
and honest work this oan be done.
Hon. William Paterson made a good
point in his speech at Sydney the other
night when he recalled the fact that the
Liberal bonus of $3,300,000 to the Can-
adian Pacific for the construction of its
Crow's Nest Paas line was once a Con-
servative "scandal." The Minister of
Customs pointed out that "through this
expenditure towns and cities have
sprung up in the Kootenay country,
filled with good Canadians. Another
result of this expenditure was the
securing of control of O. P. R. rates,
reducing it three Bente on every 100
pounds of wheat carried out of that
country." He called that good busi-
ness, not a scandal; and so it will prove
with the present day enterprises of the
Laurier Government. To -day they
'are "scandals"; ten years from now
they will be sucoesses.
Sir Wilfrid was particularly happy in
dealing with the taottos of the Opposi•
tion. Its prophesies of disaster to the
country because of Liberal rule had all
proven false; on almost every question
of public policy its leaders had boxed
the compass. In the various sections of
t the country they pipe a different tune.
They make no serious attack upon the
Liberal platform; they concentrate their
efforts on slandering the Liberal states-
men whose success they can but envy.
They accuse the Liberals for departing
from their own polioy, and they talk
parenthetically (?) of the sorrow with
whioh old Liberals view their departure.
Ad Sir Wilfrid points out, there is meth-
od in the Tory madness. They seek to
create discontent. As a diaoiple of Hon.
Alexander McKenzie, well might Laur-
ier denounce the men who hotaded that
noble leader to his grave, assailing him
with every weapon of abase and cal-
umny, and now to forward a similar
campaign against the Liberals of to -day,
hold him up as a model of honesty,
ieltegrity and ability.—Hamilton Times.

THE FARMER AND
GOVERNMENT.
(Toronto Star.)
In the twelve months ending with
June 30th, 1896, the exports of Canadian
farm products amounted to fifty and
one-half million dollars.
In the nine months which made up
the short fiscal year ending wits March
31st, 1907, the value of farm products
exported was $91,300,000.
Thus in three-quarters of the
1907 our exports in this one line
eighty per cent. greater than they
for the full fiscal year of 1896.
This phenomenal expansion in
ports of foodstuffs becomes all
more remarkable when the increase
in oouenmption in the home market is
taken into account. The extent to
which the home market has grown
may be gnaged from two simple state•
meats of fact:
(1) The salaries and wages paid in
Canadian mannfaoturing establish -
manta in 1901 amounted to $113,249,000
while the wages alone totalled $184,-
375,000 in 1906.
(2) The cost of operating the steam
railways of the country increased from
$67,481,000 in 1002 to $103,748,000 In
1907.
These additionll to the operating ex-
pense of railways and the wage bill of
manufacturers could not have taken
piece without creating a oorrespond-

prevailing prices is not snfficient to ore -

market is not helped by the fact that a
large proportion of the offerings is poor.

existed between drovers aad buyers
Prides seemed to be considerably lower
than last week. A feature was the re-

The arrivals were 66 oars, containing

hogs and 25 calves.
