Whioh party bas given this country the Temperance legislation they now have ? Dr. MacDonald has few peers either on the public platform or the floor of the House. The campaign in East Huron is jogging along very pleasantly with large Bodkin - ides ab the punt meetings being held. Every portfolio in the Dominion Oabi- hetis oepably handled. No jobbery can be laid at the door of the. Liberal ministry. The Ontariq mineral exhibit at the Paris Exposition won the Grand Prize. Everything appears to be coining our way lust now. Hon. Mr. Blalock is the first Minister of Labor in this or any other land, Tho Laurier Government is the friend of the working glass. The Liberals have made the Inter - colonial pay a good return although it was almost hopelessly in arreare under Tupper mismanagement. There were 30 Ooneervative M. P's voted against the so-oalled Prohibition motion in the Commons. In faot the vote was anon -party one. Nomination Day will see a big orowd in Brussels. Both candidates will ad• dress the electors in the Town Hall after the nomination hoar has elapsed. If striking off duty raises the price why under the sun does Hugh John Macdon- ald advocate free admission of Amerioan made implements to Manitoba and the Northwest ? Nothing counts on eleotion day like votes, so study out your own best inter- ests and that of the country calmly and deliberately and then oast your ballot conso eentiouely. The Dominion• Presbyterian says, "Laurier enjoys a unique popularity both in Canada and Great Britain and it looks ae if he will sweep the country at the Doming ideation." The Postmaster• General gave us a 2' cent postage rate and is able after that, by wise and eoonomioal management, to wipe out the deficit of the Posboffioe de. partment under Conservative rule. Wednesday of next week will be Nomination Day and aweek later polling. Every Liberal wants to get down to solid, practical work so as to increase eaoh Liberal oandidatee figures over 1896. Did you see the bogus Globe, issued b the Montreal Star P Ib mast be a week amuse that requires that kind of bolster- ing. No self respecting Conservative would distribute such misleading stuff even in an election campaign. Mr. Cook says he was asked $10,000 for a seat in the Dominion Senate but although Sir Wilfrid ohallenges him to give the name of the person offering the money Mr. Cook has not bad time to give it yet. This story is a fitting a000mpani• ment to the celebrated No. 6 pamphlet. Hon. Mr. Fisher's cold storage system is "all right" and the Canadian farmer ie sharing m the wonderful improvement it has wrought. Read the unprecedented increase in shipments of eggs, butter, poultry, do., to Great Britain. Nothing like practical men at the bead of Govern. went Departments. In the last year of the Tupper admin. isbrabion there was exported to Great Britain from Canada $42,000,000 worth of agricultural products. Last year, under Laurier rule, the amount has swelled to $72,500,000. Laurier is not too British for the Canadian farmer even if Sir Charles Tupper thinks he is. W. 0. Edwards, M. P., the Liberal candidate for Russell Co., Bays H. H. Cook oame to him three times and threatened to make it hob for the Liber. ale if he did not get a Senatorship. Rather peculiar too if the Government was so terribly anxious for 910,000 that they gave the seat to Barrister Kerr, of Cobourg, who was not in a position to put'up the cash. Mr. Gook fired his lit- tle gun too soon in the campaign and be was evidently using blank cartridge. The Liberal banner will wave over the cities this eleotion. In Toronto Mr. Massey, of the Massey•Harris Works, Bays he will heartily back up the Govern. ment. 16 different firms in that city were interviewed and the sum total is that in 1895 they employed 1,610 men they now have 2,826 on the pay list. Wilfrid Laurier and his Government have a happy way of "raining" the manufao- turers. Vacate like the above are hard on the 'Tupper propbeoies bat are very pleas- ant to take by the employees. 10,000 actual farmers settled in the Northwest last year, and this year's re• turns will be about as good. 100,000 settlers from 1897 to 1899 inolusive is a good record for Liberal rule. 10,000 entries for land have been made in 2 years under Sir Wilfrid as against 9,000 in 6 years under Conservative reign. 9,000 people came from the U. S. in 1898 ; 12,000 in 1899 and 8,000 in the first 6 months of 1900. The exodus to the United States of former days is re- versed thanks to the confidence establish. ed and good times under Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Manitoba and the West should speak with no uncertain vobce on Nov. 7th. What about coal oil prices ? Coal oil sold in 1894 wholesale somewhere about 10 to 12 cents a gallon, under the old tariff sad old regulations ; in 1896, under the same old tariff and old to nlations, it had risen to 14io. and 160. Now, what ou earth had the Laurier Government to dt with the high price in the early part of 1896 ? The Liberals Genie into power and in 1897, the price dropped to 12e., and in 1898, to eio. and 100. a gallon wholesale ; to•day it ie up to 15io. and 16o. (best grade). The prices vary oon- siderably in any ono your. We will sem up these figures again I - Old Tariff and Old Regnlatione, 1894-10o. to 120. a gallon, 1896-14io, to 16o. a gallon. New Tariff and New Regulations. 1897-12o. to 140. a gallon. 1398-94o. and 10c. a gallon. 1900-150. bo 160, (best grade) a gallon, The expectations are that coal oil will take a drop as it firm subside of the Dom• bination is nutting, ea a-Ipp The Largeet of Fur and Clothing b r rt 'v the Wes. e b a cent Str J? of the Provinces Gsl 86 Q Ctio1 U Seaforth, Ont.

"Laurier i$ too British for me," this is for Quebec. Then there is that fake "Globe" sheet on the rounds. It was printed by the Montreal Star, a rank Conservative paper, and has the Toronto Globe heading on it and it is being scattered through the oonntry. Wily the practice of these deceptions if they have a good canes ? The electors will not be caught with that sort of chaff however and instead of doing the Opposi- tion any good it will mot as a boomerang.

In his Thanksgiving sermon in the Jarvis Street Baptist aburoh, Toronto, Thursday night, Rev. Dr. Thomas, the pastor, paid the following tribute to Sir Wilfrid Laurier :-"I have always avoid. ed introducing politics into the pulpit, and I will not do so now, bub I cannot help instancing as one of the reasons for thanksgiving the feat that we have a Premier who has proven himself so statesmanlike in the administration of the high function of his office ; who is so stainless in his character ; who is so just and conciliatory in his public utterances ; who is so broadly and unselfishly patriot. lo, that, though a Catholic in his religions faith, he commands the confidence and loyalty of Protestants as no other man in political life at the present time could." A fly sheet is being peddled through. East Huron, being a reprint of a report published in the Wingham Advance of a meeting Dr. MacDonald held in that town a few weeks ago in which the Dr's stand on the Prohibition question is most unfairly set out. It says Dr. MacDonald was asked "How many out and out Pro- hibitionists are there in the House 7" and his answer is given as "Not one" and upon this a shriek has been raised with a WOW of stirring up a little feeling against the Doctor but it will do Mr. Dickinson no good. The Dr. says no such question was either asked or answered, and in the face of the Advance boldly asserting and testifying that Rev. Mr. Freed, of Wing - ham, says it was so, the following letter was published last week endorsed by well known residents of Wingham EDITOR WINeaAir ADVANCE, Dear Sir, -In your issue of Sept. 27th you state that after the close of Dr. Mao - Donald's meeting on the 24th the follow- ing conversation occurred between Rev. Mr. Freed and Dr. MacDonald :- Ques.-How many Prohibitionists are there in the House ? Probably about fourteen was the reply. How many of these asked Mr. Freed could Mr. Laurier put his finger on and know they would vote for Prohibition from principle aside from party ? Not one replied the doctor. As we heard all the conversation we are in a poeitbon to state that these questions avers not put, end therefore were not answered by Dr. MacDonald. HAtsor PAM, JAS. OLnoo, F. G. SiAnuiNe, Geo. MCKENEIE. It is rather comical to see some men hauling the above mentioned fly sheet out of their pocket end pitching into Dr. MacDonald when the party they adhere to never put a lino of progressive Tem- perance legislation on the statute book and in some oases we know the peddler of this screed to be diametrioally opposed to Prohibition by both precept and ex- ample. We wonder how many temper. ante votes hoe the Doctor's opponent oast or what work has he ever done for the oanse 2 If a campaign on temperance dines alone is wanted the result would not be a matter of any question in this riding and those who are so busily de- faming Dr. MacDonald are not strength- ening their own pause one whit, as they will ascertain most praotioatly on Nov. 7th. If instead of attempting to chastise the members of Parliament the electors who profess to be so anxious for Prohibi• Mon would give some proof of their will- ingness to enforoe existing laws and there• by pave the way for further stripe in ad - wawa 11®t106 vaults would follow.
