should go through Ontario from Ottawa
to Windsor. Itnney be the last contest
that he will engage in as head of the
Government, and the people in every
' part of the Province would like to sem the
face and grasp the hand of bbe invincible
leader. We do not say that 'he ebould
attempt great speeches at every point,
The burden of the speaking could fall up-
on other of the Ministers, or other of the
best speakers in the party. The propoeal
simply is that he shall matte a leisurely
progress frons point to point throughout
the constituencies, meet the people he
has served so long and so welt, and roues
the en9hasisem of hie friends every-

for the Provinces their rightful powers

statesmanlike polioy of oonoiliating races

.Dominion Parlialn ant,
lIlo. Flint, of Yarmouth, N. S., on Mon-
day, moved : "That it is expedient that
AS speedily ea possible this Parliament
should enact a law to prohibit the impar•
Wien, manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors in Canada, except for medim
incl, man0factnrhg and sacramental
pnrposes" Iu suoport of this resolution,
which is the official motion of the Do.
minion Alliance, Mr. Flint made a long
and well -considered speech. Ile admits -
ed that the resolution was worded a little
vaguely, but explained it by reninding
the Rouse that it was made so purposely
to please the supporters of Sir John
Thompson in view of the Premier's de.
elaretion•'that nothing could be done in
this direction this session. He wanted
it nnderatood, however, that the phrase
"as speedily as possible" had reference
only to practical difficulties and not to
any. doubt as to jurisdictiou or ae to the
ripeness of public opinion for such a
measure. Publio opinion bas travelled
Mr and fast on this question of prohibi.
lion. Mr. Flint recited the history of
the progress of this movement in Canada,
and then took up the statistical and fin.
uncial questions. He showed that not
less than 540,000;000 worth of liquor and
beer was consumed in Canada annually,
He gave the capital invested in the liquor
business iu Canada as 58,000,000 in the
162 breweries, and 57,054,000 in the eight
artilleries in Canada. The number of
employees was 2,243, representing about
15,000 venous, and the amount paid in
wages about 51,070,000. The value of the
total output of distilleries and breweriee
was pot down at 57,916,000• Whose in-
terests, Mr. Flint asked, should be para.
mount—the 15,000 persona whose support
depended on this trade or the 5,000,000
of the population ? Ile then dealt with
the revenue question and the anticipated
delioit, quoting Sir Leonard's statement
in Parliament when Pinanee Minister,
that he wouldrandertake as Fioauoo
aster to•make Eta any deficiency in the
revenue arising from problbitiou. H;e
also quoted Mr. Gladstone as Baying ;
"The question of revenue must never
and in the way of needed reforms. Be•
sides with e, saber population I shall find
a way l0 raise a revenue," Mr. Flint re -
(erred to the afoot of Father Mathews'
marvelous temperance orueade on the
revenue of Ireland. The revenue did not
dementia, but crime did. He replied to
other objections to prohibition, such ae
injury to invested capital and the lose
arising from throwing persons out of em-
ployment. Mr. Flint made many quota•
tine from official and authoritative sour.

these apprehensions or momenta. While
it vies true that they could not make men

true that they could greatly aeeiet by re.
Moving temptation from the way, Par.
Bement had alwaye acted on the prinai-
p1e of interfering with anything which
operated against the interests of the gen•

cited the plobisoites in the different Prov

and 000010ded with an urgent appeal to
both political parties to combine in tam -
port of the resola1ion,
Dr. Boerne seconded the motion, ant
congratulated Mr. Flint on hie excellent
speeds. Re referred to the foot that his
predeoeasor, Hon, G. W. Roes, had once
moved a similar resolution in this House.

(Toronto Evening Star, (Independent)
May 2nd,)
MONEY IN THE FARMERS'
POCKETS.
Iu 1118 nomination speech at Whitby on
Saturday, Ontario's Minister of Agrionl.
ture, the Hon. John Dryden, referred to
1118 good work done by the Travelling
Dairy. He pointed out that while, ac-
cording to Toronto market prices, cream-
ery butter remained' unchanged from
1892 to 1893, the price of dairy butter
advanced on an average a cent and a half
a pound. Mr. Dryden considers this clue
to the improved quality of .our butter
product, a result that he attributes to the
lobate of the Travelling Dairy Accord-
ing to the Dominion census returns,,abont
50,000,000 pounds of dairy butter are
produced annually in this Proviuee. Au
111000090 in value of a cent and a half on
that quantity represents no less a gain
than 5750,000 to the farmers. Mr, ry-
den has all along been keenly alive to the
desirability of securing for our butter ae
enviable a reputation as Canadian cheese
has woo in foreign markete. If this im-
provement oontiunes, aloug with a better
system of packing aucl transportation, it
will not be long before his hopes are real-
ized and a profitable trade of unknown
possibilities opanecl up for fanners and
their wives.
Commenting upon Mr. Dryden's state-
ment, the Toronto Evening News, inde-
pendent Conservative, says : “The claim
does.uot lack justification, and the fact
that this is so shows how mach can be
done towards the advancement of a great
industry by moans of intelligent govern-
ment direction." Mr. Dryden has the
astuteness to discern the needs of the
farmers at this juncture, and the success
that meets all his efforts is the best proof
of the practicability of his ideas. If the
Minister had accomplished nothing more
than the improvement referred to, he
would have earned the salary the Pro-
vince pays him many times over.
SHOULD THE COLLEGE FARM
BE MADE TO PAY ?
During the recent eessiou of the Logis-
lature one of the ctitioisms against the,
Department of Agrioniture was that the
Minister hacl been unable to show that
the College farm had been so concluded
as to afford a profit in its transactions.
To this criticism Mr. Dryden replied in
substance as follows : llis first answer
was that, under existing circumstances fn
this country, it is cliff1oulb to mance any
farm pay any oousiderabloprofnt. Second,
that so long as the farm proper is con-
duoted in connection with the College as
a part of an educational institution, 19
would bo utterly impossible to make it
pay in dollars and cents. Tho institution
was not organized for that purpose. Mr.
Dryden truly abated that if he closirel a
result only in dollars and cents, he would
not employ a farm superintendent at a
cost of 51,200 per annum with suffoieut
experience and adncational ability to give
instruction to the students ; neither
would he employ an engineer, part of
whose duty is also to give instruction in the
management of a farm engine, at say
5600 ; nor would it be necessary to en -
ploy an export herdsman at' a similar
sant ; nor would ho spend from three to
five hundred dollars annually in adver-
tising, eta, in connection with the sale of
surplus stook, which might be disposed of
to bettor advantage in the ordinary way ;
nor would ho keep at considerable expen-
se 23 male. animals representing 23 dif-
ferent breeds of cattle, Sheep and swine,
when ono, two or three, as the case might
be would answer the purlposse of the or-
dinary farmer ; nor would he set apart
forty or fifty acres purely for experiment-
al purposes, bringing no profit whatever
Mit entailing a considerable amount of
labor in addition to what would otherwise
be expended on t11e same area.
If the quostiai be asked, why then aro
these things done in connection with the
College farm ? the answer is already
stated—that it is 0onduo9oitfor educationa,,,
m1030889 along, and so long as that is the
naso ]uer so long will it be impoeaible to
show sati0faa1ory, remelts in dollars and
dente. No doubt 1f the items mentioned
were taken out anti charged as they have
been ou some occasions to eluoatlon, the
farm as at present conducted would show
a balance on the right' sido. No person
offering criticism has yet ventured to say
that any individual or particular expense
could be dispensed with. Mr, Dryclen's
ilrst aim as ho stated in the Ilona, is ell.
ucational efficiency. That offioioncy, as
as he assorts, should bo scanned at as low
a cost as possible, and he finnan: states
without feat of contradiction that the
wage0 given are as low as the services re-
quired can be obtained for,
