COLD STORAGE FOR FARMERS, Certain Liberal journals have been casting ridicule -upon the cold stor- age project of the Tupper adminis- tration, the aim of which is to af- ford the farmers facilities for markt products with a given amount of Ins eting their perishable products in Erst-class tondition.

They are not abreast with the times. They do not seem to • realize that it is the cola storage system which has enabled Australia to take so large a share of the dead meat trade in England, and that the United States has been stimolated thereby in the same direction to an extent which is most remarkable. The American Agriculturist observes that the cola storage business is taking on immense proportions in the United States. Its development in the principal cities of the country has been nothing less than phenom- enal of late years. And now cold storage warehouses are being erect- ed at country shipping points. In eome cases they are put up by the farmers themselves, who organize co- operative stock companies and con- duct the business on the same gen- eral principle that is applied so eue- eeesfully. in co-operative creameries. Most of these .reld storage plants in both city and country used chemical refrigeration or other artificial means of creating and maintaining a low temperature. Recent progress in this line makes it possible to build and equip a cold storage plant at com- paratively reasonable eost. Of course, Where the ice crop is assured, no ex- pensive refrigerating machinery is required, and: in snch localities cold storage can be provided in connection with a. neighboring ice house.

Mr. Fairer seems now, as iu former elections, to be figuring prominently in the deliberations of the Liberal leaders. Only a day or two ago he was closeted with Hon. Mr. Laurier at Montreal, when, it is said, an arranger merit was come to by whieh 5t1 New England manufacturing- firm& who want their goods to enter Canada free, are to put up $20,000 apiece, or 81,000,- 000, as a, Liberal camreogn fund. + Speaking of the mandement, about which the Toronto Globe is so furious, Mr, Laurier's organ in Quebec, I'Elee- teen says:—"1.l ho will complain of this counsel, or even of this injunc- tion ? The Catholic candidate who is not prepared to give this guarantee is undeserving of the votes of his co-re- ligioniste."

The Copy Book Committee report- ed the following, which was adopted. t (1). Resolved that this Aesomatiou express its disapproval of the author- ized system of vertical writing lately introduced foeuse in our Public schools, our objections being based on the fol- lowing grounds. (1.) That the shapes of the letters are notomitable fax aiding expechtatiou in writing, fax instance fgh pz and s are almostprinted, thus requiring much more time than is necessary in their formation, (2.) That on account of the letters not being spaced for Junior pupils,. teaching uniformity in the relative beighte of the letters, is made touch more difficult for the headier. (3,) Tlutt, the hook itself is notneatly gotten up. (4.) That by not having the letters joined, fast, writing is remlerea (3.) That the books forsonior classes eontaita no commercial forms. We are moreover of the opinion that the Gage's System ot vertical writing Meets more fully the require- ments of the Public Schools than the authorized system. Miss Sharman then proceeded to dis- cuss the grainmat.ical difficulties in t•he "Forced Recruit at Solferino" and dealt with the subject in a very pleas- ing and able Warmer. The topic wasdiscussed be- several. of the teachers. Votes Of thanks were passed to the trustees of the Exeter Public School Board, the teachers of Exeter and those who took part in the eu- tertainment of the previous evening. It was decided on inotion that Air. Delgaty give his report of the pro- ceedings of the 0. P. T. A., which he did in a very interesting manner, giv- ing 11111011 iinformation.

On motion of Inspector Tom, second- ed by Mr. H.

The Business Committee then re- ported the order of business, and the first a -object taken up was "Canadian History, how to teach it -to a third class," by Mr. T. A. Mcane-111in, of Brucefield. Mr: McLaughlin showed by his method of dealieg: with the subject that he had given it careful study. The lesson preyed very interesting. Messrs. Ton), Dale, Johnston, Mc- Pherson, Gregory and Delgaty,further discussed the subject dealing with their difficulties and giving their methods of teaelabig it. "Drawing and Drawing Books" was the next topic for discussion, and was introduced by Inspector Toni. After discussing the drawing books now in use, Mr. Tom proceeded to give a practical lesson inperspective, , The time fax a.djourainent having -arrived the Association adjourned, to meet at 1,30 p. 81.• • "advent of Clevelandism, the Canadian "farmer is receiving better prices for "some prodocte than the American.

It is announced that during the last financial year the Intercolonial earned enough to pay all expenses of oper- ating. This is the third year under Mr. Haggart's management that the overmnent railway has been con- ducted practically without a deficit—a thing never done before by any other ndrester of railways, either Grit or Tory. But all the same the Liberal papers will continue to call Mr. Hag- gett and the other roembers of the government third, fifth or tenth rate men ? 4-x+ The present system of giving Am- erican labourers the free run of Can- ada, while Canadian labourers are shut out of the United States, encourages Canadians to forswear their citizen- ship. Americans or Canadians 'natur- alized in the States have a free run of the labour xnarkets of both countries. Sueely, if Canadians are not allovved to share m the American labour market, Americans ought not to be allowed to share in the advantages of the Canad- ian labour market. As it is now, Canadian labourers do not get a fair chance either in the Uuitecl States or their own country. The American alien labor law keeps them out of the United. States, and the absence of a Canadian labor law lets the American labourers into Canada. If there is a great railway work in progress, American labourers are brought in fitom Buffalo, to go back again as soon as the coi ntract s completed. The system which opens the Canaaiim labour market to the citizens of a .country which, closes its own doors hist Canadians is altogether wrong. , si is, p lay It •. diriply- identical with ti olt of the Liberals, who seek to give the United States farmers eaid. manufac- turers free access toCanedian markets, While the United States maintain a hi,gb. protective -wall against Chmedian products. x x + The deficit is no argument against the Conservative 'Government at Ot- tawa, says an exchange. A deficit may be caused either by under taration or • ever expenditore. If the difference between income and outlay is due to the Governments takingtoo little from the people, not to its spendine too mach then the Liberals might to give praise rather than blarneto the admin- istration at. Ottawa. A deficit may be a virtue rather than it fault in a Gov- ernment. An unwillingness to burden the people with taxes is at least an zuniable weakness. An- inability to economize is it crinie which most be proved before e government can be condemned because of it deficit. Un- less the Liberals can convict the- Do- minion Government of extravagance it defteit caused b3r it reduction in duties will be of no political service to the opposition. x s-• + Canadians greeted the seventy- seventh birthday of Queen.

But, only a year ago, in Winnipeg, Leurier forgot his pledge, and canra out ing 8 Free Trader. He neenehed his Ms, goSpel in these words: "We shall give you Iirce Trade, and although it will be it hard fight, we sludl not give in one inch or retrace one step until we have reached the goal, and that. goal is the same policy of Free Trade as exists in England to -day," Well, that was his belief for a time— he pretended it was. Soon he had it change of heart. The Liberal lender went to tho Eastern Townships, and there he said: "Wo will tax for revenue, but not a cent for protection. When we are in power we will relieve the people of pro. teetion, which is it frxend, it delusion and a robbery." Where was unrestricted reciprocity; where was Free Trade? Gone, lost, forgotten! The revenue tariff string waa being twanged. But Mr. Laurier went to Montreal. There he had to talk to tho -working classes. His statement there was very clear. Protection was not to be aban- doned. Robbery TM not to be abolished. On the contrary, duties Nere to be re- moved from raw materials, and the fraud and delusion as regards the finished pro. ducts were to be continued. It stands to 1085011 that it is impossible "to relieve the people of protection," as promised in the Eastern Township speech, and at the same time to continue protection as promieed at Montreal.
