Etc., etc. applying as it will on all kinds and qualities of footwear we have for sale.
KINDLY NOTE THIS HOWEVER—Our business has been built up by selling
GOOD GOODS AT MODE':ATE PRICES
In other words we do not specialize in a cheap class of goods but on Dependable Qualities, and
it is our intention to continue on this line of action, that is, we will stick to the plan that has made
this shoe business the largest (as to volume) in the County of Hunan by a considerable margin, and
we will endeavor to sell at all times
GOOD GOODS AT MOST MODERATE PRICES
In quoting prices we shall in all cases quote the TWO PRICES namely, the REGULAR PRICE
and the amount of CASH DICOUNT. It will take a little time for our customers to get used to this
change but we believe it is the fair and proper way to do business and we shall stick to it believirig
that we can best serve our customers by this new plan which has been adopted only after long and
very careful study. •
As to those who desire credit the very sa• me conditions as heretofore will prevail, that is, those
who have been getting credit from us will have the same privilege as in the past, the only difference
it will make is that when the cash is paid the CASH DISCOUNT WILL BE ALLOWED.

MR. SPOTTON SPEAKS
Mi.'S.P01701`.,I, We on this side.
have been charged with having 'met
some. peculiar type of human being
called a lobbyist. When I left 'my
constituency to come here my fritnds
told me to be careful of lobbyists.,
Nov I have inet a lot of: fine people
in this Washington erg the north and
have bean keeping a lookout aronnd
the corner for those hideous monsters
called lobbyists. The Minister/of Fi-
nance says that we on.this side have
been lobbying, I have not; at least,
if I have done so I have not known
I would ask the iVtiniSter of Fin-
ance to be good enough to describe
1"
1.V
to me in .\vords if he can, and if 'au
by means of a picture, just what ;t
lobbyist is, in the meantime, I deny
the charge. One obiection 1 have
make, is that the tariff is being used,
in my opinion, is a club for politi,d
purposes, It was s,, uscd in North
Huron in the town of Goderich. Fs.
cry industry was visited by various
'members of the cabinet, who intim.
idated, or coaxed, or cajoled, or prom-
ised. The bludgeon was held over the
heads ef those engaged in industry,
:4o much so that the Liberal paper, a
copy of which I have in my desk,
cameout with the statement that all
the captains of industryin the town
of Goderich were supporting the *Lib -
4
eral candidate. The farmers of North
Huron resented this and rallied to
my support. You cannot kid the peo-
ple all the time; you cannot run with
the hare and hunt with the hounds
any longer, Mr. Chairman. I wish, to
advise your minister accordingly.
Why, sir, on one platform tht Liberal
candidate, who holds the same doc-
trine as the member for South Huron,
gave a free trade speech in Goderich
in the presence of the Prime Minister
and all the cabinet with the exception
of one or two—I see only one or two
new faces. He gave a right royal, old
time free trade speech, going back to
Cobden and all the others. But when
the Minister of 'Trade and Commerce
rose—an1 many hon, members oppo-
site will bear me out—the first thing
he did was to declare himself thus: "I
am not a free trader; I am not a
high protectionist. 1 belitve in mod-
erate protection which -will keep the
industries of Canada running and give
employment". That is where we
stand, Mr. Chairman. But hon. gen-
tlemen like the member of South Hu-
ron and the member for South Perth
will stand 'up and address this little
group here, giving them free trade
speeches, and only occasionally a cab-
inet minister from the west will ac-
cord thern a little applause. Once
again I would ask the Minister of Fi-
nance to tell me, as a new member,
what this Consumers' League is about
which I hear so much. I went to
school with Deachman, who is at the
head of the league.
An hon. MEMBER: He is it.
Mr. SPOTTON: Furthermore, I
went to school to his father, one of
the old, pioneer school teachers. I
met Mr. Deachman in the corridor
the other right and I said to him,
"Bob, what is the Consumers' League?
Are there three or' four in it besides
the government?" He replied, "Oh,
there are perhaps one or two hun-
dred". But before Bob could tell me
anything more about it a couple of
gentlemen close to the front benches
put their arms about him and remark-
ed, "Come on, you are positively a
good Liberal". And he is a good Lib-
eral. He writes letters to the Liberal
papers in my riding every week con-
tributing propaganda. I should like
to know, therefore, what his real con-
nection is with this government, and
who brought him to thi,s beautiful
Washington of the north to live. You
cannot kid Huron county so far as
the Consumers' League is concerned:
Vie Minister of Finance, the Minister
of Trade and Commerce and other
cabinet ministers kidded them once,
but these gentlemen cannot kid them
again. As an infant, so to speak, who
is just groping about in the dark, fear -
fill of variOUS hidden dangers, I be-
seech the ;minister to tell me what a
lobbyist is. If he cannot give
a verbal description of one 1
wouldi ask him in all kindness to
draw me a picture of the chairman of
his tariff board, who has 'Veen the
most expert lobbyist and who brought
the railway situation into the mess it,
was once in. At least, the minister
might give me his picture. At any
rate, I deny the charge that I have
been met by lobbyists, so far as 1
know what the word means.
A handsome New Year's gift to
the people of Canada is indicated
in the announcement of reduction of
rates charged by Express Com-
panies of the Dominion for ship-
ment of packages up to 15 lbs. itt
weight and not over 3Ih feet in
length, width or depth, which has
been issued and tiled with the
Board of Railway Commissioners
for Canada by C. N. Ham, Chair-
man, Express Traffic Association.
The reduction went into effect Jan-
uary 1 and it includes a continua-
tion of the arrangement under
which the Express Companies give
protection against loss and damage
up to 850 without extra charge on
packages carried,
