HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Advocate, 1894-3-29, Page 4THE SANDERS & DYER, Prop, TiiOiSDAY, March 29th 1894 A; PROGREss EYE GOVERNMENT Barring the p'ssimistic grumblings of a few soreheads, and a few more disappointed politicians, there come from the Motherland as well as Cana- da itself reports of substantial progress mainly through the efforts of our ac- tive federal government. The' British papers are quite alive to the importance of a fast Atlantic steamship service, for which Mr. Huddart, of Australia,has been in conference with the Cabinet at Ottawa and is row preparing in Eng- land to carry into practical effect. It is proposed to build four express steam- ships, capable of ruuning 20 knots an lemr, to ceuyey passengers and mails between Great Britain and Canada,— and by way of the C. P, R. to transmit them to Australia in the course of 25 days, Our government has responded nobly to the appeal; and subject to the Kxpprovalofparliament they have signed a contract with Mr. Huddart to vote $750,000 a year towards this project. It is also expected that the Imperial gov- ernment will grant a large snbsidy, in addition to what may be expected from the Australian Colonies. This scheme will, in addition to other advantages facilitate Canadian trade with Britain, which is our best market; as arrange- ments are to be made for refrigerators on board the new lice of steamships, to accomodate those who may ship beef apples, and others perishable articles crossing the Atlantic. In addition to the above project, an- other event of prime importance to the Empire will be the establishing , direct cable communication between Canada and Australia—on which a conference held lately in the Antipodes has pro- nounced very favorably. Both the English and Scottish papers are con- gratulating the British public of the hopeful field of enterprise now opening up between the Motherland and her colonies and so between the efforts put forth by the Dominion Government in sending the Hon. Mr. 'Bowen on a mis- sion to Australia, and the unremitting labors of our High Commissioner in England, it is felt that Canada being the great highway of communication between Britain and Australia must reap large returns from the increase of travel and trade which will pass over our country by means of those new projects. An additional proof of the progress• ireness of our federal government is the announcement last week of the estimates by the Minister of Finance, according to which a saving will be effected for Canadian taxpayers of $4,- 485,521 for the coming year. This re- duction of nearly four and a half n il- lion dollars, owing to economy in the service and a decrease in the public expenditure, must be gratify- ing to the great body of our people— in view more especially of the outcry lately made for "tariff reform". The budget and new tarrill are now on the table of Parliament, from which it will seen that the Cabinet at Ottawa has alone everything consistent with the regairements of the public service to make.Canada "a cheap country to live flume News of the Week in Brief.

Joseph Stratford, Presideut of the Farmers Binder Twine and Agricl< LuralImpletnent Manufacturing Co., of Brantford addressed a mass meeting of Patrons and farmers in the Town Hall Crediton, on Thursday Mareh 22nd. Mr, Stratford is worthy of the position he occupies as President of that great anti -monopoly .enterprise at Brantford. Reis a matt of sterling ability and has been a pillar of strength to the. Patron. Order and is a practical farmer,. Some of the impatient Patrons when the Or= der was quite young in this country was a string for immediate relief and some substantial benefit. I might say that one of the heaviest burdens under which the people of Canada were groan- ing has been lifted and relief has been felt all over this Province through this great industry. After a few short ad dresses by local speakers, Mr. Stratford was introduced and addressed an atten- tive audience for two hours or more. Mr, Stratford first poiuted out the benefits gained in their lodges as debating socie ties; how they could cultivate and devel ope their talents in every practical way by taking up the leading questions of the day and discussing them at full length, and finally fitting themselves to fill the highest positions in our Grand Dominion, He referred to Abraham Lincoln as being the son of a farmer and himself a typical farmer in every way and a noble statesman, and ex- pressed a hope that the day would soon dawn when we would not have to se- cure the services of a French Canadian lawyer to be chief farmer of this Do- minion. He also referred to class leg- islation as a result of seeding to our parliament doctors, lawyers, shopkeep- ers and such professional men to repre- sent Agricultural constituencies. He explained how doctors legislated in their own interests be framing a tariff of fees by which they could return and rob their constituents and lawyers like wise, He urged the farmers the im portance of concentrating and consoli- dating their voting power and place one of their number to carry the flag to the highest pinacle. He showed the effect of consolidation in the instance of the twine factory at Brantford, that a few brave mer managed the ship, set the scheme on foot and were nobly backed by the farmers of this Province and is now making rapid strides to- wards the manufacture of implements. He said that by t of a cent a pound profit on the twine manufactured at fhe farmers factory, Brantford, in 1893 paid the stockholders a dividend of 107, and placed $6,000 in a rest fund, and asked the farmers to compare th it with that of the combines when they sold twine at 17 and 18'eents a pound, for the same twine. He said they in- tended to manufacture a low down binder, the best on the continent for $75 or $80. He also explained how a cun- ning Boston -syndicate had ' plotted to wrench the factory from theft grasp by offering to the shareholders $30 for a ten dollar share, or three to one, and proceeded to the several stockhold ers whom they said had signified their willingness to accept their offer and all they had to do was to get the consent of the board of directors. But they met their match who sent them back to Boston feeling very sick, At the con- clusion of the address several of the farmers took stock in the company af- ter which a hearty vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. Stratford foie the . able speech he had rendered and the vola able information he had defused. --Coal The Spring Assizes.

Miss Haavnalb Wyatt Toronto, Ont. "Pour years ago while in the old country ( England), my daughter Hannah was sent away from the hospital, as the doctors there could da nothing to help her, and said she would never be any better. She was in a very low condition with consumption of the lungs and bowels, and weak action of the heart. The trip across the water to this country seemed to make her feel better for a while. Then she began to get worse, and for 14 weeks she was unable to get off the bed. She grew worse for live months and Lost the Use of Her Limbs and lower part of body, and if she sat up in bed had to be propped up with pillows. She would go ten days without a movement of the bowels. All medicine seemed to do her no good. She would have spells when her heart would pain her, and then, with the outside door open in mid -winter, would faint away. Physicians, after holding a consultation, Said She Was Past All Help and wanted me to send her to the 4Home for Incurables.' But I said as long as'I could hold my hand up she should not go, and about this time a kind neighbor came in and asked me to get a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla and try it. We did so and she has taken the medicine regularly. She is getting strong, walks around, is out doors every day; has no trouble with her throat and no cough, and her heart seems to be all right again. She has a first class appetite, o••,,s Sarsaparilla Is gaining in flesh as well as strength, and does not look pale. Our doctor says he is glad she took Hood's Sarsaparilla as it has done so much for her. We regard her cure as • nothing short of a miracle." W. WYATT, 89 Marion Street, Parkdale, Toronto, Ontario. N.
