71.11E LIVE S7'00.11: TRADE.
The Canadiau live stock trade is
owing to proportions 010 have asten-
Med oven the most aanguine, The
Sg tires from the export returns of the
port of Montreal make a splendid show-
Eveg for" the past season of liavigation,
le the ten mouths beginnings with
:January and closing with October lest,
we shipped out of the country from
,ene port of Montreal 1.7,152 sheep, 88,-
160 cattle, 1Le96 horses. During the
feanie reriod last year the shipments
aggregated 119,914 sheep, 79,390 cat-
tle, 5P95 hoses, These latter figures,
Sae as they fall short of those for the
eurrent year, are, in regard to sheep
and horses, a long^ stop ahead of those
of 1893. In the first ten moths of
that year the live stock exports, by way
of illoptreal, were 1,781 sheep, 80,495
cattle, and 1,516 horses. Thus in these
years our exports of sheep from Mont-
real have increased a huadred fold, of
eattle, 10„ per cent, of horses nearly
l00 per cent, But they do not compiese
all the animals sent abroad. Several
,cargoes of Canadian cattle were shipped
at Portland before the St. Lawrence
mute was open. Prices having ad
vanced sharply before the opening of
navigation, there was a big movement
of cattle by way of Portland. All that
movement is to be credited to increase,
for last year no Canadian cattle were
passed outward through Portland, the
United iitates embargo not then being
suspended to allow of transportation in
bond to the coast Further, large sales
sl horses were made last spring' on ex-
port account by the farmers of the
Maritime provinces, and by those of
the eastern townships. These also are
to be added to the shipments from
Montreal. The remarkable increase
in the horse exports is one of the most
gratifying features of our live stock
trade returns. Most of tbe horses went
to the United Kingdom For the right
elass of horses there is a growing
British demand.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Mr, Fisher has got his hooks nicely
into Mr. Laurier,
Free Trade has been abandoned with
disgust by every continental nation
that ever tried it.
Protection affords employment to to' et
consumers who are the best custeetilers
of the Canadian farmer.
About the only thineteete e Liberals
developed while heeeehre'e was a tennen-
ey to add enorm]Jusly to the public debt
Our sales. ^eirSpain were $960 in 1874
and12;:efet274 in 1894. This seems to
yegitate that Protection has developed
eee"
trade.
The cheap beef of Chicago would
drive Canadian produeers out of their
!home market under the Liberal policy
of Free Trade.
Our mining interests have prospered
under Conservative rule Exports of
produce of the mineiu 1878, $2,762,762;
in 1894, $5,799,337.
The Liberals decreased the export
trade of Canada by eight millions and
Mr. L. H. Davies says "What we did
before we will do again."
Mr. Laurier's assertion that the gov-
ernment failed to try the sunny way to
eettle the Manitoba Schoot .question
tarns out to be all moonshine.
Our exports of manufactures have
deubled. Since the Liberals ceased to
govern Canada. Here are the totals:
1879, 818,087,205; 1894, 27,215,691:
The railway milage of Canada in
1875 was 4,826 miles, and in 1894 it
was 15,627, yet Sir Richard Cartwright
declares i,hat Canada has not progress-
ed.
When the Liberals took office the ex-
penditure of Canada was 819,174,648;
when they left office it was 824,455,882.
So much for their profession as econo-
Inlets
Free Trade, as the Liberals practice
it, means a tax on tea, sugar and coffee
and coal, which an intelligent protec-
tive policy admits into the country free
of duty.
Under Liberal administration our
trade with Australia went down to 379,-
343 in 1.876. Under Conservative ad-
ministration it has been increased to'
$322,745,
It le the home market that, the Eng.
esh farmer is now pleading or, and it
is the tiome ma rkre that the Liberals
risk Canadian farmers to throw away
as wort Mess.
The; Liberal pency of Free Trade
would deereaeo the value of every
nueliel of wheat grown in Canada, be
muse it would destroy the bine Trier -
0 tee for grain.
Canadian exports to the United Statee
are 10,000,000 a yew: more than when,
the Liberals rnied. Ilere are the ex-
act figsurest 1878, $25,244,898; 1894,
$35,809,940,
The Commercial failures in Canada
in 1878, after five years of Liberal rule,
represented 82,3,908,000 ,of capital.
They were 40 per cent. larger than the
failures of 1894.
Canada paid in for pensions in 1877
under Liberal rule $112,531, but in
1894, under Conservative rule the bill
for pensions was $S6,927. Who were
the econoniists?
Our exports per head in 1878 equalled
$16.67, and in 1894 they equalled $20.•
68. This deseouuts the Grit fabrica-
tion that under Protection the country
has goue to the dos.
In 1877 Canada exported $6,559,095
bushels of wheat, and in 1894 our ex-
ports of wheat; were 14,1.80,252 bushels.
This answers the charges that Protec-
tion has paralysed our industry.
Canada's exports in 1877 under Lib•
eral rule ware $68,030,546; in 1894 un-
der Conservative rute they were 8103,-
851,764. Yet the Liberals say that ,he
trade of the country has not developed.
Great Britain takes to -day 55 per
cent. of all our exports. Twenty years
ago she took only. 39 per cent, of them.
Thus has the Conseravtive policy de-
veloped our trade with the mother
country
Even the fisheries yield better under
Conservative than under Liberal ad-
ministration. Of their products we ex
poeted in 1877, $6,853,975, and in 1894,
$11,102,692. Yet the Liberals say we
are poorer.
Germany bought from us $91,019
worth of goods in 1875, and in 1894 it
purchased from us $2,046,052 worth of
goods. This is an answer to the ques-
tion "Has the Protective policy develop-
ed trade.
Canadian farmers received in 1875
$12,700,507 for their exports of animals
and their products, and in 1894 they
received $31,881,973. Is it any wonder
that they retain a policy that thus de:
velops their trade?
The next man to be read out of the
Liberal party will be Mr. James Fisher
M.1). P., of Manitoba, who. has clearly
shown that hie leader is either irc,),seily
ignorant of the School quest.iyertgee wil-
fully misstates the;e'
Canadiaus eeiriled in 1877, life insur-
ance polte.es aggregating $85,687,903,
aur'. lie 1894 they carriedpolicies rep-
resenting, $308,1&,436. tet Mr. Lau-
rier says we are poorer than when the
Liberals misgoverned us.
Canada's coasting trade has develop
ed enormously under Conservative
administration. The vessels employed
in this business in 1877 had a tonnage
of 8,968,862 tons, and in 1894 they rep-
resented 26,560,968; growth more than
300 per cent.
Under the Liberal policy we shipped
to England in 1876 goods to the value
of $40.723,477. Under the Conserva-
tive administration our exports to Eng-
land in 1894 equalled 868,588,856 It
is not hard to compare these figures
and see which policy developed trade.
The Liberal talk of cheap raw ma-
terial Under their policy $8,478,972
worth of it came in free in one year,
whereas under the Conservative policy
the free imports of raw material were
818,995,363. The advantage of cheap-
ness seems all on the Conservative side,
Under Free Trade as the Liberals
practice it, Canada imported in 1878
raw material for manufacturing pur-
poses to the value of $8,882,209 where-
as under a protective policy the itnpor
tations of raw material in 1894 were
$23,285,334. Every dollar's worth of
material so imported afforded additional
employment to Canadian labor,
The collection of revenue on the pub-
lic works cost in 1875, 'hider Liberal
auspices, $1.57,681, and in 1894, under
Conservative auspices, $154,257. Dar_
ing the same period the revenue from
public works increased from $1,432,360
to $3,702,746, Tinder Conservative ad-
ministration the revenue more than
doubled and the cost of collection was
decreased.
Wilfred Laurier at the Liberal con-
vention: "I preach the gospel of abso-
lute destruction to protection, Not a
vestage shall remain," The absolute
destruetien of protection would reduce
thousands of wage earners in Canada
to pauperism, and make everybody
poorer, Mr. Laurier may preach such
a gospel, but he will never have the
chance to practice 11 10 Canada.
Before the last general election Mr,
Laurier's organ, L'Eleoteur, declared:
"With Mr. Mercier at his side, Me
Laurier le invincible in Quebec. Mr
Mercier cares little for Tory scruples,"
But Mercier is gone, and to fill his plate
the Liberal leader is gathering around
him all whb bear no ticrupkte in QuebOo,
The limiest sentiment of the provinect
\ revolted at the einem of 1891 just as
it will at the even NrcirS0 combitiation
of 1895-6.
In spite of the sad pietures the Lib-
erals are painting of Canade's trade
everything tends to show that it is am-
stantly improving, particularly iu those
branches which interest the farmer
most directly, For instance, we shipped
from. Montreal this year 94,972 cattle,
whereas in 1894 the shipments num-
bered 88,685 head and in 1893 only 83,-
522. But a still greater improvement
is shown in the horse trade, the exports
at that point were 1,600 in 1898; 5,625
in 1894 and 13,203 in 1895, Gratify-
ing as this increase muetebe it is loss
than the increase in the sheep triicTe.
Of these there were shipped from Mont
real in 1S93 only t8,743, this trade
jumped up in 1894 to 189,780 and in
L895 it still further increased to 210,607,
The farmers arefeeling the benefit of
the exertions of the govermnent on
their behalf.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
A baby alarm, or means for signal-
ling the crying of an infant which has
been left asleep in a distant room, is
one of the recent boons offered by sci-
ence. A sensitive microphone, connec-
ted to a battery and to the primary of
an iuducticn coil, is placed near the
child's cot. The secondary of the coil
is connected by two wires to a small
electro -magnet at the place whore the
alarm is to be giveu, and on the crying
of the child the microphone sets up an
undulatory current in this circuit,
causing the eiectro-magnet to deflect a
delicate steel balance and close an elee.
trio bell circuit.

West Huron
Goderich, Oat., Dec. 10.—(Special)—
The West Huron Couservatiye conven-
tion, held at Smith's Hill to -day, was
one of the largest in attendance and
most enthusiastic ever held in, the
county. One hundred and seven dele-
gates were present, besides a large
number of ardent Conservatives, repro.
senting every part of the riding. After
President Beck had explained the busi-
ness of the convention, nominations
were called for, and the following gen-
tlemen were named as possible candi-
dates:—Joseph Beck, Saltford ; Dr.
Holmes, Mayor Butler, Robert McLean
°and Ernest Heaton,t Goderich; J. M.
Roberts and Dr. T. E. Case, Dungannon;
D Weismiller, Hensel!, and Dr. Free-
born, Clintou. • Shbrt speeches were
made by each of these ,gen demon, those
of Dr. Holmes, Mr. Heaton and Mr.
Weismiller being capital in their Mat-
ter and spirit. All declined but Messrs
Butler. Beck and Weismiller. A vote
was than taken, resulting in the latter
receiving a majority oa the first ballot.
Mr. Weismiller briefly thanked the con-
vention and promised to wage the con-
test with all the energy and strength
possible. Dr. Roome, M. P. for West
Middlesex, was present, and after ex-
plaining the absence of Hon. Dr. Mont
ague, who was expected to be preeent,
he briefly reviewed the political ques
tions, and gave some good advice ou
the work of organization. The meet
ing closed with the customary cheers,
and if appearances count for anything
the stalwart electors who were present
will carry the Conservative banner in
Wet Huron to a decisive victory
again.
A Significant Departufre.
With the departure of another veer
when a review is made of the condition
of affairs, it is only right that some
throught be given to the physicial body
which enables everyone to battle 'with
life's pioblern and figure for themselves
the profit or loss on the trial balance
sheet. Though the lack account may
be large and each oue's material gain
be great, it would not be surprising if
it suddenly draws upon many that good
health bas been greatly impoverished
by the low condition of the blood. It is
in this stele that the lactiic acid in the
Vital fluid attacks the fibrous tissuos,
particularly the jonts, making known
the local mainfestlitious of rheumatism.
Thousands of people have found in
Hood's sarsaparilla the great blood
purifier, a positive and permanent cure
for rheumatism.
