When you consider about the painting of yonr bonee the meet important thing to think of ie, what is the best quality of paint obtainable ? The best paint to stand the weather and look fresh for the longest time? There is only one anewer to this, namaly, that a palet made with Brandram'e B.B. Genuine Lead, Pure Linseed 01 TRADE MAR IS, and just enough Dryer, must be the beer., as this B. B. Lead hue fur E.o m n, years been proved superior to all otbere. Snob a paint is Anchor Liquid House Paint, and it is the only liquid paint made• in Canada with Braodram'e B. B. Genuine White Lead. It ie a mistake for yonjto use anything but the very best paint in painting your home. The coat of putting^on the paint is usually about the same ae the moat of the paint itself. A cheap paint takes more time to make a reasonably good job with than a good paint, and dose not last as long, nor look so well. In fact the cheap paint is the most expensive paint in the end. Make no mistake. Use Anchor Liquid House Paint. It is a Pure White Lead, Zino and Linseed Oil Paint, and hi as good as can be made with our choice of the very beet materials. Use it and get the most satisfaotory results obtainable with paint. Bold by- rEcY igia. Co., Brussels. • D®�ii'11111 Bros. cQvrgrc,rtr Agents for the Slater Shoe.

If there is any township should give the Liberal Government loyal support over the Drainage laws and Government It ' lit loans it is tate Mnoictpa y of Grey.

The annual meeting of East Huron Liberal Aeeooiatioa was held in the. Town Hall, Brneeels, on Tuesday afternoon of thio week, and was attended by a large and representative gathering. After the reeding of the minntee and the adoption of bbe Treasurer's report, eleotion of al. oars was taken up. On motion of Robert McMillan, sem. onded by Gso. Hood, the.offioiary of the past year was re•eleoted, eubetibuting the name of Wm. Robertson, instead of Jas. A. Cline, as Chairman for Wingbam, owing to the latter's removal to Owen Sound. The list ie as follows :— President, G. F, Blair, Brussels 1 let Vice Pres., W. A. Irwin, Gerrie ; and " " M. Murdie, Winthrop Sea.-Treas., W. H. Kerr, Brussels ; Auditor, W. M.

Sloan, McMillan, MoDowell, Murdie, Strachan, Isbisber, Belly, Irwin, MoLaaghlin, Robinson and the President. A very hearty weloome was accorded the popular oaodidate of the riding, Aroh. Hielop, who addressed a few words to the large gathering expressive of his thanks and expectations on May 29th, and he was followed, in one of the best politioal speeches delivered in Brussels for many a day, by the clever, olear headed and eloquent Minister of Education,—Hon. R. Haroourt. He spoke for two hours to a highly pleased, attentive and most en. thusiaetio audience, Mr. Harcourt's visit willl do no small amount of good and will be long remembered. The gathering broke np with rousing cheers for the King, Premier and cabinet and the cauda date. • Dr. Macdonald, M. P., who was au- nonneed to be one of the speakers was unable to be preset owiug to the foot that the House of Oommons was still in session and as he is Deputy Speaker he mould not leave. W. H. K: RR, Prop, three well known financial men to look into the ledgers of the Province with privilege of summoning the Werke and auditors, to on. quire into the matter of tltp so ranch tallied of aura These men with their neeomrt- ant, mind that the Oreasurer's statement was exactly correct. They said also that the methods or book keeping were exeelleut, dee- pibe what the Opposition had stated to the contrary. '1'he duty of the Treasurer is to properly use funds on hand and get into the maim of the Government all the money pos- sible, No misuse of nubile funds. Eipendi• tura must continue to grow es ins eased ae• oommodatlon in look -up, asylums and other public institutions are required. The nnoernduties was one way of sup- plementing u - il a our axcheq Only f eatates have paid n 11 um, We Haveoobd a iniltion dollars from this mune fromthose who are able to pay. Ability to pay and equality of saorifice are the two principles of this bill and this is the only 8111 wbloh tells how the money is to be spent, 8000,000 last year 1 viz., devoted to charitable proposes. Mr. 'Matheson s amendment in the House was 50 005 this percentage in two, but it was properly voted down. A man may in hie life limo be his own exeoutor and die. tribute his wealth thereby avoiding • the Gov- ernments handling of it. Great Britain and the U. 8. have the same Jew and it has never been repealed in any country where it hes been passed. Our receipts will grow iu this 'Mound will add to oar bank reserve by mil- lions of dollen. Throe years ago the Government decided to tax corporations, sub as railways telegraph and tslspbons, insurance companies, banks, Zeo. 8220,000 received last year from them. The Conservatives say they will repeal this if elected, The speaker allowed that the Bill bad not injured the monetary institutions. Tax is only 1/0 of a mill on be earnings. One of the most prominent bankers in the coun- try approves of the Bill. The same is true of the railways and they have a right to pay book a small sum out of thousands of dollars in subsidies. This is good legislation and should be heartily endorsed by the electors on May 29111. No Treasurer of this Province ever crossed the ocean to negotintea loan, and if money has to be borrowed it will be only after Mr. Whitney is Premier, which will be some time hence. We have had three Attorney -Generals, Sir Oliver Mowat, Hon. Mr. Hardy and Hon. Mr. Gibson. 100,000 miles was attempted to be taken from this Province but with a akillful, alert and astute man like Sir Oliver Mowat, we held the territory. Now Mr. Whitney finds fault because we dou,t develop New On- tario fast enough when they did their best to give this country away, with its timber and minerals. Our right Heng established we have gone onto develop this territory. Mr. Harcourt told of the industrial development in New Ontario. $110,090 paid out one day for one month's wages. t,Vs haveaided men of capital in that land the four prmoipal moves are the Manitoulin, Temiscammg and Algoma railways and the pulp licenses. Not a foot of the landJven away in the pulp permits. The work of settlement cannot be impeded and farmers taking up land have the full right to own and Bell the pulp timber at 40 cents a cord. There are now seven com- panies at work. Starting at 20 cents a cord, the price has been doubled, with the right to raise the price without consulting these oom- panies, agreement lasting for 21 years. No timber must be exported, nor outsiders em- ployed in the work. 84,280 must be expended by these men and we stipulate how many men must be employed. 2000 menwill be at work when all are completed. In 1898 we decided that our saw loge were to be sawn in Ontario and mills and men are now hard at work. Eddy Bros., at Blind River, Algoma, is a marked illustration of the value of this law. Six years ago not apound of iron was rais- ed but last year 270,000 raised from one mine. Nota onnd of pig iron or steel °years ago, now at Bomilton and Sault Ste. Marie 8:13,000 was the output lest year. No coun- try as valuable as ours for mineral deposits. The U. S. is offering 810,000 a year to teach mineralogist and geologist in various States in the Union. We aid schools in Kingston and Toronto in same line on account of the practical value the ;training of our young men in these problems will be to this coun- try. The outlook is bright in our minerals. The greatest asset of any land is an educat- ed people and with this object the Govern- ment has done great things in perfecting our system. Hon. Mr. Harcourt closed with a brief reference to the Educational policy in which he desired to give to every boy and fit them d fight adals in vantage the calculated life., when con- demns Whidemns our Educational policy. We are less- ening our exeminatians. The speaker said he had taught in pnblio and High Schools and was also Inspector. We need not have com- petitive examinations but we must have qualifying examinations. We need not have intellectual duels but the Entrance and Pub- lic School Leaving. examinations are valuable. No Government utas any desire to saddle a high price for books on anybody. 94 will sup- ply the annual cost for books to an ordinary pupil. Have compared pr -ices with U. S. and ours were 33'e cheaper, while vain was stili maintained. We judge a tree by its fruits and we judge our Educational pokey by the same standard. Mr. MOLean, of Ottawa, has accepted the appointment t0 a Oalifornian University. An English hospital selected a young man named Beatty, for a leading posi- tion, a Canadian boy. One of the most emi- nent preachers in London, England, Bev. Dr. Munro Gibson, is a Canadian` Dr. Gilbert Parker, the great writer, is another. 10 grad- uates o� Toronto University ladle best places in the U.

A large percentage of our High School pupils go to the farm. Commer- cial education is one of the great essentials to our life and our systema provides what is Mr. Harcourt was Heartily greeted as he came forward to speak. He said be was glad to be ppresent and meet snoh a splendid aud- iencein East Heron. It certainly betokened viotory. Euiogiatip,words were spoken of the late Thos. Gibson former M. P. P. for many years. Mr. Hislop, he said, was a worthy successor, and was already prominent in parliamentary offices. Hie terseness of manner andfluency of speech were noted and he had represented East Huron with credit. We have a great country in Ontario and new problems are to the front and Nye must face those of today, rather than deal- ing with dead issues of the past. Liberals in Birmingham had the motto, Register, Or- ganize, .Educate," not a bad motto for the Liberals of this Province. The duty of Lite orals is to poll every vote. A great many believe that party allegiance is one of the 10 commandments but we can properly appeal to Independents to -day to vote for the Liber- al cause in the best interests of the people at large irrespective of party. The speaker told an amusing story about a boy on: being asked his father's politics said he was not a Conser- vative nor a Liberal, but a milk man. The Government are directors of a great business of which the electors are the stook - holders, and to whom an account has to be rendered. It is methodically managed and divided into practical departments, the heads of which are up-to-date men. No discontent in this Province except in those who travel the country seeking for otlioe. The merchant, the mechanic and agriculturist are all do- ing weU and there are no pessimists in our midst. A wonderful period of prosperity is here and the Liberals are appealing to you to sustain the present Premier, who has given the country the moat advanced legislation and placed it in as good a condition as any country ever enjoyed. The Agricultural department is presided over by Mr. Dryden, a practical farmer. Ridicule and objection to tate Experimental Perm at the Agi. College was the role for years by the Oonservative party. The Liber - Ms stood by it and equipped it so that it is not only an ideal institution but has silenced opposition. Attendance in 10 years has been multiplied by 5. Over 400 students now. 70+ of these can be found to -day on the farms in the Province, following out the most ad- vanced methods of agriculture. A million heople on farms in Now York State and they ave a College but it does not begin to corn. pare with ours in laboratory equipment. • We have the endorsement of very prominent American experts along the same line. No College on the continent is doing as good work and the Minister certainly deserves oredit. Take the Pau -American Exposition at Buffalo. In sheep awards in 7 classes, Americans won 91300, Canada 82,152; the Gold Modal for dairyingresults came to On- tario: in 0 prizes for airy herds, Ontario equally of there. Canadeait swinethethree times as amok as United States. Cheese and honey gold medals came to Ontario, also in horses Canada did about as well as in sheep and hogs. The Government gives the credit to the intelligence and diligence of otic farmers but do saythey (the Government) have done their best icontributing to these irand results, by college and other practical snstructioh. The matter of cold storage is a new prob- lem now owning up for solution by the Gov- eminent oveminent, Our dairying results have been simply tremendous.
