MCMtuanx LAron:n at Listowel next Tuesday af- ternoon. Go and hoar him. Da, MoDoxai m should have a majority of 500 in East Huron if every Liberal gets to work in earnest. The prospects were never brighter. IF the N. P. is such a bonanza to mann, federate, outside of the oombiues, you would think that they would be ranged on the side of this great enricher, but if the East Riding of Huron is any guide for other eonstitueucies it happens that there are about 4 to 1. )manufacturers in East Huron who are supporting the Lib- eral policy and the Liberal candidate. These figures are not built on the pattern. of the Dominion census returns but can be vouched for by the publication of the names and addresses of these gentlemen. Tme savings bank rebtuns used to be a mighty weapou in the hands of the pro. tectionists, It must be confessed that the growth of the deposits might mean many things. It was certainly open to the in- terpretation that a number of people could not find a better investment for their money than the 3i per cent. that is now the rate. At all events those who regarded the swelling deposits as a sign of prosperity must be prepared to admit that their decrease is an indication of the opposite. Of late the tendency to ac• cumulate has been checked. For the five months ending April 30 the increase has been but 52550,551, while for the month of April itself the withdrawals exceeded the deposits by 5217,815. Have the people reached the point when they must live on their savings ? Sous of those folks who are fidgety over the Goderieh harbor expenditure during the McKenzie regime should make a few enquires about the lavish and use. less investments made at Bayfield and Port Albert by the present Government. The election speeches when Hon. J. C. Patterson was running in West Huron contained bulldozing offers to vote for Patterson or lose the appropriations voted for necessary improvements to Goderich harbor. It was the same old coercion spirit so prominently brought to the front in the That session of the Dominion Parliament, Here are a few figures the electors should ponder, as to how con- tracts are let and completed by the Do. minion Government :- Estimated cost Paid.

Le the campaign literature issued by the Conservative party and in the speeches of numerous candidates an ef• fort is being made to show the value of the N. P. to the Canadian farmer by a comparieon of the Chicago and Toronto markets, that is not only misleading, but unfair and incorrect. First of all Chi- cago is 450 miles West of Toronto, and to their market quotations should be added 6 or 7 cents for freight in the comparison. 2nd. The Toronto street market, which is always higher than the exchange, is compared with the Chicago market. 3rd. Buffalo. an American market, about opposite Toronto, is the place that should be rated with Toronto, or if Chicago is used Winnipeg should be placed along• side of it. Another point to that the price of Fall Wheat in Ontario is govern- ed more by tbo local demand than by Liverpool ratings as the bulk of our wheat is utilized for mixing purposes while with Chicago and Winnipeg are governed by the Liverpool tariff. With the above explanations we will take a look at the markets and see how matters stand :--- rosONTO. llUFFALO.

But under the Govern- ment now in power at Ottawa, the super- aanuatiou system has been abused, Able- bodied men have been suporaunnated at 50 and 41 years of age. Some paid in as low as a few dollars, and have drawn out of the feud 52,000. One man paid 118.49 and has drawn out $11,000. One man was paid a big salary for many years. He did nob pay one cent into the super- annuation fand, but he has drawn out 527,000. Let the toiling masses think of that and of the millions of dollars boodled away in corrupt publiocontraots, of which the following sums, stolen from the pub - lie treasury, with the °onnivance or by the gross negligence of the amen i0 power, are only a few speoimone The Connolly-MoGreevy steal - 6700,000 270,000 476,128 260,000 446,600 155,000 800,000 lugs The Curan bridge steal Tay Canal Little Rapids look Galops Rapids channel Sheik's Island dam Fredericton bridge Some people express astonishment that trade has been dull, and grumble because the public have not spent mousy on the products of Canadian industry.

'VICTO$IS'S CA[L3I[TI. Victoria, 33, C., is still in a dazed con• dition as the resntt of the bridge disaster. All day divers were at work. The oar that fell from the bridge was pulled out on the bank, bit it is believed there are still a number of bodies entangled in the wreckage of the bridge itself. Fifty- three bodies have been taken from the wreak, and itis known that at least three more ars yet to be recovered. The bridge had on three separate o0. cations been pronounced unsafe, and had been condemned. It was built for wagon traffic end was not intended for railroad use. The car that paused the accident was the heaviest on the line. Once be- fore, several months ago, it had crossed the bridge when crowded, and load caus- ed snob a sagging that it was feared the bridge would fall. After that experience the car was not run uatil last week, when it was pot on to accommodate the extra traffic. It is reported that the city will be sued for 51,000,000 damages by relatives of the victims. 0:72T7 006=M+00 MARSs£'1:'E, Fall Wheat 68 68 Barley.. 25 30 Peas 45 Oats 19 Butter, tube and rolls 11 Eggs per dozen ... 7? 8 Flour per barrel....,4 00 4 50 Potatoes (new) 10 12 Hay per ton. 8 00 Hides trimmed 4 . 477 Aides rough 3 8} Salt per bbl., retail 1 00 00 Sheep skins, eaoh 60 75 Lamb skins eaoh 15 40 Apples per bus 1 00 Hogs, Live 8 60 8 70 Dressed Hogs 4 00 4 50 Wool 18 Dams MARosTs.-INGEIIsoLL, Ont., June 2, -Offerings to.day, 2,300 boxes.

There were quite a few loads left over at the oloee ; export oat• tle were in moderate demand ; a few gold to fill space. The great rush of cattle here was accounted for by the fact tbat farmers have been holding baok their cattle in expectation of higher prime, and although drovers refused to buy then( last week, and warned farmers that the market today wodld be bad, the latter in some oases brought cattle them- selves to market and took 25 to d0o per cwt. less than they ware offered by drovers.

POLITICAL M INT/NO.-A fair represen• Cation of the eleetors gathered in the Township Hall on Friday evening of last week for the purpose of hearing addresses on the political questions of the day. Geo. Hood was appointed chairman, a position wbioh he filled to the satiefae- tiou of all. On the platform were Dr. McDonald, in whose interest the meeting was held, and Arch. Hislop, of Grey, there being no one present in behalf of Mr, Dickinson, the Conservative Candi• date. air. Hislop addressed the meeting for 30 minutes, pointing out in an able manner the many defeots in the admin- istration of affaire at Ottawa, also the miserable failure of the N. P. in its re. !atlon to the agrioultural industrials of the country. Dr. MoDonald never ap- peared in better form and in a speech of upwards of one hour, pointed out very clearly that the N. P. had not benefitted the farmer either directly or indirectly, that it hada made a few manufacturers rich at the expense of many, that it dig. oriminated against the poor and wonting classes of our country, the duty being higher on the necessaries of life than on what might be termed luxuries. Hs also sbowed that onr population bad deareae. 0d as well as the wine of farm lands un. der the N. P. The other points touched 00 were the present superannuation eye. tem, wbere large sums of money were paid men wbo were quite capable of sop. Macfarlane's Hero.
