Nlslop Replies to Mr. Bowman DEA1t SM—Your covens ponil ent says 1 asetune the prepoetious of it (Goliath In asking him to meet Ise on the platform but if he le pusseeeed of the idea that a giant is required to dispose of ble arguments he ntuet have a serteue attack of that daugerone and fatal disease known as swelled head, He complains of abuse but I thought a person, whoitt eold blood started a crusade of personalities such as he in- dulged in, would be prepared to take a dose of his own medicine like a man and not cry like an overgrown boy. Ira answering a pompous, though highly respectable gentleman, accord- ing to his folly it may be I failed to realize the enormity of my crime. You know Shakespeare advises us to "Have respect for his great place and let the devil be sometimes honored on his burning throne." Over minds meditation on the ill -usage of which he is the victim has evidently muddled him. He says I called him a block- head, I did trot use the word and from Rest to the last of his letter he never gets any closer to actual facts than in this wonderful production of a fertile imagination, Is) his letters he failed to show I was mistaken in my original statement regarding Dominion debt and expenditure, namely that in 4 years the Borden government had increased the ex- penditure by over $40,000,000 per year, that last year they added $00,000,000 to the public debt and that iudications pointed to a vaster increase in debt during the present year than last. The Finance Minister estimated there would be an inetease of revenue of some $80,000,000 by virtue of addition- al taxation. During the month of April as comptred with the same month of last year, the revenue de- creased by more than half a million. In view of this fact it is reasonable to assume that at the end of the year there will be a greater shortage than ever before in the history of Canada. The taxpayer is being squeezed almost beyond endurance but the money dues not find its way to the public excheq- uer but goes to the big fellows who control the government. The govern- ment is trying to deceive the people by calling the additional burden a war tax when as a matter of fact not 1 cent thus obtained will be available for payment of war charges, Had the Borden government spent no more in their 4 years than the Liberals did in their 4 there would be no need of this so called was tax. The treasury would be fuller by at least 5100,000,- 000. Much has been said about the in- herited obligations handed down from their predecessors. But the surpluses amounting in the 8 first years of their regime to 0140,000,000 were more than ample to liquidate all such liabilities. When Borden promised to run the affairs of the country for less than his opponents, he knew the extent of those burdens and there is no escape from responsibility in the matter. He endeavors to leave the impression that McKenzie & Mann received no land grants from Conservative admin- strators. He must know that when they sought the rights of those com- panies of which he speaks the land grants event with the purchase so that McKenzie & Mann received the bene- fit of whatever value the land possess- ed. It is trifling with facts to say Laurier caused the C. N. 11. to be made a Transcontinental line. The men who first gave as gond as 529,000,- 000 in cash had more to do in placing the Dominion seal on this unfortunate undertaking than he. It is argued that as Laurier bad given aid Borden was forced to do the sante. After the same manner it could be contended that Laurier was forced to guarantee bonds by virtue of Sir John's land grants. It is a well knnwn fact that at the last election McKenzie & Mann gave freely of their substance towards the return of Borden to power and that Borden felt slider obligation to give them their pound of flesh on de- mand, which was $24,000,000 in cash and $15,000,000 in guarantees. In this lonneclion the point to he borne in mind is that while Laurier gave the enterprise assistance from the East to and across the prairies he most point- edly declined to give aid towards con- struction across and beyond the mountains for the abnndaut reason a third road across British Columbia could' not be a profitable concern. The line for the first 200 miles paral- lels the G. T. P. and for the last 200 parallels the 0. P. R., there being hut 100 or 200 miles in the centre not now served by railway. Mr. Bowman says Laurier got nothing for what he gave whereas Borden got $40,000,000, or stock in the business. He mistakes the facts Laurier got a mortgage on the road whatever that may be worth and Borden gor, $40,000,000 of stook in a company capitalized at $100,000,000 with liabilities totalling $350,000,000, As things are now the Dominion is a junior partner in a bankrupt com- pany, liable to be called on to pay the entire indebtedness, while Mckenzie & Mann hove no liability whatever. The position is this, they may incur whatever additional obligations they please, pocket all' monies within their grasp and atany 'moment step down and out leaving the country to mourn their departure and pay their debts. He inbroduces the building of the 0, T. P. It is useless to discnsa that project. At the time of its inception all classes in the conntry were agreed that a second Transcontinental was necessary. Borden proposed an al- ternative eabeme, which if carried out would have been more expensive than the one adopted. The polios of build- ing the, road was approved by the electore. at two successive general elections. 1t1r. Lennard, chairman of the Building Commission, it Conserva- tive appointed to the position by the present govet'nment with a full know- ledge of what the cost will be says, "The road is an asset not a liability, Mr. Bowman seems to have great respect for S, Barker, M.

I was in the House at that time land I mei voneil for the opinion of every mem- ber of the Conservative party ; I vets - tine to say dere was not idle 151551 00 the Conservative side who doubted for 8 ;moment the absnlnte need of L :medley thtnngh railway at the lea1 ii est passible lummsnt There were in the Conservative party at that time members who welt interested ;n other railways, some in the Caned int) Peel - Ile yy Mims e' '1 other d ad. fie Rnilwn and L 1 rs 11 t bot evel'yyone of Lherm, whether im 505081ed in the Canadian Pacific Rail- way oe not, agreed that another rail- way sh0u10 be built, that the party ahr.uld unanimously support any geu- erous liberal subsidy the government would propose to give, and that we should fneilitate the construetiou of the road in every way. That is put- t.ing it amending to what 1 know to have been the feeling then on the Conservative side ; and se Inc as my knowledge and observation tent, it was the opinion of every mist on both sides of the House," and on page 3072 of Hansard of same date be declared "We, (the Onnservatives) have been cltat•ged with opposing the Transcon- tinental railway, \Ve never opposed that system at all." The opinion of those men are more pointed and valuable than the befogged effusions of Me. Bowman. He denounces the Liberals for not giving the farmers Free Trade in im- plements. When the reciprocity agreement was made, where was he at that time 1 He was where he is nnW, on the side of the men who did not want truck or trade with the Yaukees. Was one of the number who made the welkin ring with de- nunciations of the men who would hand the Canadian Market over to the A10E111catt trusts. He and his party had the active support of the Ameri- can as well as the Canadian trusts, He showed his geatitnde by voting Inc heavier burdens on the farmers and higher profits for manufacturers, k He scratched the manufacturers' hacbe- cause the ntamlfar•tnrer ball scratched his. He, who is) 1911 accused men of treason when they were doing their best to give the country some Measure of free trade and in 1015 bt•rtllds them as jugglers because they did not ac- cept an offer of absolute freedom, is above all other people qualified to give lessons on juggling. His profession is reduced to a science. 1 don't purpose spending time on the binder question as my original statement was correct. The manu- facturers increased the price of binders when the Government announced their tariff changes. I said then that for every $10 a farmer paid in so-called war taxes 52 went to the public treas- nry and $8 into the pockets of the manufacturers. In view of a declin- ing revenue I ain of the opinion I under rather than over stated the farmers proportion. One more word Mr. Editor and I am done. His memory is a blank nn the rural mail question. There wee rural mail delivery in this county years before Boden attained power. For some time before the: change of government thepostoflice department was considering a general system for this as well as all ether counties in this section of Ontario. That system would have been carried nut regard- less of the political complexion of the government. Such matters require time. The business has not pro- gressed with such speed as he would have us believe. There are sections 1�atee,ra,NFe 2lAP .. DOCTORS DSD NOT HELPED But Lydia E.

Two quarts of oil in the gear case of this 8 -foot auto -oiled windmill will keep the gears and every bearing flooded with oil for a year or more. The galvanized steel helmet covers the gears, keeps out rain, keeps out dust, keeps M oil. The mill needs oiling but once a year. There is a windmill, known the world over as "the windmill which runs when all ' others stand still." This new windmill with gears and bearings flooded with oil runs in much less wind than that well known windmill. The two large gears, which Eft the load straight up, arc each independent of the other and each is driven by its own pinion on the main shaft and must take its half of the load at all times. The auto-oiledwindmtll,withitsdeplicate gears.andtwo pitmen lifting the load straight up, is Un. breakable, Everys-foot mill is tested underapumptot; load of 3000 pounds on the pump rod, For the larger sizes the load is proportionately greater. We know that every one of these windmills is unbreakable. We venture the assertion that this is the most nearly perfect, best made, best tested, best oilers, most nearly perpetual, automatic and self- sufficient of any machine of any kind ever made for farm work and the most nearly fool -proof. There is no friction on any part of the furl- ing device when the mill is running and very little when the wheel is furled. �r1P I `3 —111111111111111 nnmmnmmM n nnumunnr-�, I') A small child caneasilyilurlthis windmill or an automatic regulator can take rare of It. One of these mills has been furled 10,000 timesin one day by a man on our promises—more times than it would ordinarily be furled in 30 years of service. A band brake, of the automobile type, is used, and it always holds. The gear case contains two pairs of gears and the supply of oil. From this gear case the oil circulates to every bearing in a constant stream. It flows out through the friction washers in the hub of the wheel and is automatically returned to the gear case. Not a drop of oil can escape. It is used over and over. So long as there is any oil in the gear case the gears and every bearing will be flooded with oil. if you are tired of climbing a windmill tower; If you are tired of buying repairs and having them put on; or, if you are tired of walting for n big wind, let usfur- nish you an unbreakable, self -oiling, ever -going mill to go on any old tower. It costs but little and you will get the difference between no water in a light wind and an abundance of water in almost no wind. The flooding of all the working parts with oil, the perfect balance of the wheel and Vane on the tower, the very small turntable on which the mill pivots and the outside furling device make this difference. Now there is no objection to a high tower. Have as high a tower as you need to get wind. You don't have to climb tit. Your dealer can come once a year and put in oil, if needed, and inspect the mill Running water purifies itself—stagnant water, standing water, collects and retains impur- ities. If you pump from your well constantly all the water Wean spare, the water that comes in to take its place will be pure. If the water in your well stands until you happen to want some. and you pump but little, thee it is likely that surface water will flow into it and carry in Inn purities. The unsafe well is the one that has standing water. A flowing stream is;bottling to be desired. et The auto -oiled windmill makes all this possible as it canrun from one year's end to the other with practically no wear and no cost,. If interested, write Aermotor Co.1146 So. Cambell Ave., Chicago. Why not have flowing water, cool in summer and warm in winter, always fresh and pure? It will coat next to nothing. It will give health to your family and stock. Let the water run into a good size reservoir and raise til the fish of the choice kinds your family can eat,and havewater to irrigate your garden and stake it raise many times as much as It would otherwise. Wtter costs nothing. Use it. To le It stand Is to abuse it. 1)0111 11 A pun of 30Elton thB wire llsrle the mill.
