Thanks. : Making Him Mad Political consternation of the, high- est degree, was aroused in the iah.d of a venerable and life-long Paisley Liberal on Tuesday, as he perused i he , copy of the Globe, finding therin an, editorial defaming the. name of Mack- . enzie King as leader of the ;political destinies of our Dominion. Some t liours later the old . Grit discovered that a friendly, Tory neighbor had ; r- reptitiously inserted the editorial page •of the. London Free Press in the place where the 'Globe editorials should be. It was a great afternon for the Tories as they heard this old gentleman de- nounce and renounce the Globe and i.ts editors.—Port Elgin Times, Ethel Store Burns Fire of unknown origin started in the rear of Joseph Pearson's general store, at Ethel, on Tuesday afternoon, and caused approximately $io,000 of amage ea the building and stock, In- uxance partially covers the loss. The blaze wa sdiscovered about four ,•o'clock by Mr. Pearson and a bucket brigade lvas hastily formed. After i.three hours work the fire was extin- guished, but the structure, which was 'built three yearsago, had nearly all the windows broken and nittch of the interior woodwork charred. It is .owned by Thomas Vodden, who re- sides in the second story. Mr .Pearson's stock of goods Buff- . ered mainly from smoke and, water and some of the goods that were stor-. • ed in the rear were burnt.

Official Nominations on Tuesday —Voting in Dominion, Sept. 14th The nomination meeting at Wing - ham was attended by a .fairly large audience, The two candidates, Me. Id, J. A. MacEwan and Mr. J. W. King, were the nominees, At the close of the nominations, Mr. John Montgomery, the returning offi- cer for North Huron, .,handed the meeting over to the public; and Mr. George Spotton, Conservative candi- date in the election last fall, was vo- ted chairman, which position he cap- ably filled without partiality, although. we must confess he looked very, much out of place when sitting calmly by, and not entering the debate for the Conservative: cause. The candidates, Mr. McEwen and Mr. King,put upthein plea to the electors, and were assisted by Mr. Halbert for Mr. King, and Mr. Le Stteur of Sarnia for Mr, MacEwan. Mr,. Halbert has been in Wingbane o -n sev- eral occasions. He is a hard fighter and: shoots right out from the shoul- der, calling a spade a spade, Mr, Le Sueur is one of the most interesting speakers we have heard for some time, talking fluently in a clear and con- vincing manner. Oh leaving the hall, one old gentleman was heard to re- mark that he was in the class with, Sir Wilfred Laurier, as`e pleasing and convincing speaker.

But in response to the appeals of American farm- ers the U. S. Government enacted the Fordney Tariff. It practi- cally shut Canadian farm and dairy products out of the United States' while the products of American farms continued to pour into Canada at a rate of some $So,000,000• worth a year. The King Government could have really, benefited the Canadian farmer by at least saving for him his OWN market. BUT THE KING GOVERNMENT DID NOTHING. Compare these duties and ask yourself if the situation is fair to C dian farmer the Cana ; PRODUCT U. S. Tariff Wheat 42 cents bush. Corn 15 cents bush.

The Meighen Government Proposes to Give The Canadian Farmer a Pro- tection Equal to that of the American. Premier Meighen Proposes to Reopen the Door to the Canadian Market for American Farm Pro- ducts, only as, and to the extent that, the door to the American Market is Reopened to the Canadian Farmer. i DUTY CUTS NO BENEFIT Another claim of Liberal campaigners is that the King Government gave the farmers cheap implements by reducing the duty. Again the facts show this claim false, FARM IMPLEMENTS COST MORE TODAY THAN BEFORE THE DUTY WAS REDUCED. more important Tarin iiitple- prices of some of the P • tic iii ) s The following ti 1 g Canadian mems are taken from the retail price lists of a well-known Cana implement manufacturing company; Implement 1921 price Seven- foot binder (no attachments) $23500'. Five-foot : heavy, mower . $ 96.50 Ten -foot rake $ 52.00' Six-foot, xe teeth cultivator, three -horse $79.00 Single disk drill' (complete) $s47.00 Walking plow, No, 121 (with attachment) $23.5o Disk Harrow $ 58,0o These increases' in price occurred in spite of the fact that in 1925 there wms 't ales tax of three per cent, while today there is none. And. the further fact that, when the duties on implements were reduced substantial reductions were made in the duties on the raw. materials Canadian Tariff 12 cents, Free. so cents $.200 35 cents 4 cents 3 cents 3 cents 25 per cent. 1926 price $2.37•oo $ 96.5o $54.00 $82.00 $157.00 $ 23.50 $ 62.0o from which these implements were made. These figures show the farmer paid more, instead of less for his implements, Yet as a result of the reductions iii ditty, Canadian im- plement -factories, did much less business and employed many fewer workmen. As far back as 1950 Canadian Iinplernent plants employ- ed mploycd 0,56o men, yet in 5925--e---held up by Liberal propagandists as "the big yeai.,"-----t:he .industry employed only 6;954 men. Many more instance could be cited but these suffice. to .show the fanner suffered, m,tead of benefiting, as a result of King Government Policies. Canadian industries were;fnjured <ind them: were fewer Canadian workmen en:tployc.d7--fewer people to buy the products of Canadian farms.

KING STANDS BY FOLLOWING ISSUE OF FARMER'S SUN (Advertisement) As was to be expected, the Conservative Party Press has gone to the very limit in making political capital of the Sun's objections to fusion candidates in the forthcoming election, One paper goes so far as to .say that there is growing evidence that the U.P.O. vote in Ontario will liac'up almost solidly behind the Couserva+ive cause, But in case there may be any tendency on the Part of Cotiservatives to become unduly puffed up at this prospect,, The Sun hastens to assert. that any disposition of the U.F.O. vote in Ontario to Hite np solidly behind the. Conservative cause would be calamity of the 10reatest magnitude, Fertherreore, nothwithstanding Premier ivfeighcn's Vagueinodifi- cations of his tariff proposals attuned to the ears of, his western aud- iences, the 1irriff policy of ills party is too well known 'to warrant the belief that the U. F. O. vote will be stampeded into lining up with the apostles of 'high protection, Premier Mcigh:en will haveto hide the high protection pill in a lot more jam than is contained itt his vague r t promises to aid in the developing of co-operative market- ing, before the U.F.O. vote will be disposed to swallow it. brailin Charlie 5aYs 1t may be hhLh' Utah who has ccic *t~cl t' 1~ lois doe ta: falik‘tery niuch becattstt of tib sechtsoit he Oros atcustorqea O-
