ThP H'iren Nevus-Recora 81.25 a Yeat-$1.001n Advance WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18th, 189b CANADA AND THE CHEESE LIE. The charge made by the North British Agriculturist that "imitation" or filled cheese made in Canada is lfeing sold in England, has caused consider- able perturbation on both sides of the Atlantic. At the instance of Sir A. P. Caron, acting premier, a communica- tion was sent to the high commissioner informing him that the statement of the Agriculturist is distinctly libelous and requesting him to demand author- ity for it. The following message was also sent to the British press : The Canadian government, through the department of agriculture, authorizes the publication of the following state- ment : The cabled report of the North British Agriculturist, stating that a considerable proportion of cheese from Canada is made from separated milk, fattened with oleomargarine, is abso- lutely without foundation. Canadian cheese are made from pure whole milk only. Not one box of filled or oleomar- garine cheese is made in Canada. In 1893, when it was rumored that a foreign firm proposed to start a factory in Canada to make filled cheese, parlia- ment immediately passed a prohibitory law forbidding the manufacture or sale under heavy penalties, going up to $400, half of the fine being payable to the informant. Not one case has occurred since then. The manufacture and sale of oleomargarine was also prohibited, the penalty for violation being a heavy fine or iniprisonrnent. The law forbids the manufacture or e sale of imitation or unwholesome dairy products. Importation is also pro- hibited. Use of brand "Canadian' is restricted by law to cheese and butter made in Canada. Canada is the only dairy country where oleomargarine and manufacture or importation of imitation cheese are wholly prohibit- ed. A POPULAR PUBLIC MAN. Don in Toronto Saturday Night, while giving expression to its opinion in favor of a local man, says of the apppnintment of Hon. J. C. "Patter- son "However, the contest for the office was 80 keen amongst the men of Mani- toba that it seemed wise to the Gov- ernment to appoint an outsider, and as the official plum is going to someone not a Manitoban there is not the slight- est doubt that Hon. J. C. Patterson is most deserving of the place. He is a elan known to everybody as generous almost to a fault, urbane and tactful in his contact with the public, wise and strong in his bearing,and in every way suited to the welmarked prefer- ences of Western people. I venture to prophesy that at the end of his term he will be one of the most pope • it men in the Western country, ranking high in the hearts of the people with Hugh John Macdonald, Isaac Campbell and that prince of good fellows, Lieut. - Governor Mackintosh of the North- West Territories," REVIVAL IN TRADE. The Toronto Globe tells us that there is "a marked improvement in busi- ness." and that many merchants, not only of Ontario, but from long distan- ces east and west, "all speak in the highest terms of the 'outlook for the Pal and winter trade," and at e purchas- ing large stocks of goods. That's good. But what is the cause of it ? The Globe tells us that "tariff reform" is making business good in the United States. It must be, then, that the tariff has oinething to do with the "revival of trade" in Canada. Session before last the Canadian parliament reduced the duty on sugar. This "tariff reform" brought hard times. Last session the duty on sugar was increased. This "step toward" protection restored pub- lic confidence, and behold l there is such a revival of trade that even the great calamity hunter, the Globe, feels quite tickled about it. It is wonder- tul. CURRENT TOPICS. Regarding the prospects of Canadian trade in Australia, Commissioner Larke writes to the Department of Trade and Commerce that the saw mill machinery of the colony is out of date, and must soon he replaced. He also thinks there is a good market forCana- dian boots and shoes. He remarks that Canadian bicycles are now being sold in the leading Australian cities. Mail and Empire: -The tax -ridden and poverty-stricken farmer was pre- sent at the Fair in Large numbers, gen- erally accompanied by his family. The N. P. is of course gradually driv- ing him to the depths of despair, and it is really wonderful to observe how cheerful a.nd prosperous he appears. That he is a skillful dissembler every Liberal paper should at once endeavor to demonstrate, and set: i 'thereby to hasten the inauguration of a free trade policy. An editorial in the London, Eng., Post upon the opening of the new Sault canal, says : "Both the resolu- tion and its accomplishment reflect infinite credit upon the spirit and resource of Canada. Although the commercial importance of Lake Super- ior is now overshadowed by Lake Erie and Lake Michigan, its potentialities are so enormous as to place the future volume of its trade beyond all ques- tion. In that future Canada must claim a great if not a preponderating share. Although Duluth is now the busiest place upon the lakes, Port Arthur is rapidly rising in importance, and it would seem suicidal for Canada to permit the possibility of a great trade route from Lake Superior out- ward being at any moment closed against her." The Dominion government should be commended for its prompt action in securing the publication in the British press of a sweeping and unequivocal denial of that lie about the adultera- tion of Canadian cheese. That denial, with the accompanying statement of facts to prove that the story was a lie, was necessary, and it was also neces- sary to have the report contradicted before it had obtained a wide circula- tion. It is announced to -day that the Dominion authorities will prosecute the British journal which first puhlish- dtl the story. This also is a prober course to take -not so much to punish the paper, as to afford an opportunity of having the whole matter ventilated in the law courts. The result of the trial will he good for the Canadian cheese industry. La Patrie reports Mr. Laurier's speech at Chicoutimi so far as it refers to the school question, adding that it gives the exact text because Conservative journals have been publishing fantastic versions. Here is what the Leader said :-"I know that I shall be called upon to fulfil this engagement, because the Government itself cannot settle the question. How can you expect men who are sworn to suppress Catholic in- fluence will re-establish the Catholic schools who are the source of that in- fluence ? Thank God, there is not an Orangeman among us, the Liberals. The day when the people confide to me the direction of the affairs of the coun- try, I shall, have but to appeal to the Christian sentiments of my patty to renderrjustice to those to whore justice is due.' The Ontario wing of the par- ty was counting upon the hated "Orangists" .not long ago. Now Mr. Laurier is grateful to the Almighty that "there is not an Orangeman among us." The Toronto Fair receipts are over $2,000 a head of last year. Our Grit opponents when discussing the probability of a bye -election in W. Huron take great pains totell.us that their redoubtable champion M. , 0. Cameron is in "splendid fighting tarn." Well, if this meads that he has the ready disposition and the open purse which he possessed in 1874 for the cor- ruption of the electorate, we frankly admit that we aro very sorry to hear it. We look upon the debauching of a constituency by promise of money, place; or personal advantage, whether by Grit or Tory matters not, as a public calamity, for no individual.how- ever hurnbio should either be tempted or coerced to turn his back upon what he believes is right. But if by "splendid fighting trim" it is meant that Mr. Cameron's present health of body and mind will enable ?aim to un- dertake without any ill consequences all the labor and worry of an election contest, then the announcement is as pleasing to Its as it is to many who profess to be his ardent admirers,• for atgainst the private citizen and success- ful lawyer we have not and never• bad an unkind word to say. But with the rancorous and unscrupulous politician there is a quarrel which cannot be for•gotten,,while Conservatism and Mt . Cameron co -exist, and will be ex- tinguished only when that gentleman has passed into the mysterious land where the "wicked cease from troub- ling and the weary ho at rest." THE VOICE OF THE PRESS. Mr. Laurier's Position. Toronto News. A significant thing in Hon. Mr. Laur- ier's address at Chicoutimi on Saturday was that, he praised Hou. Mr. Angers for his pluckiness in resigning from the Rowell Ministry when theGovernwent refused to pass a remedial act. This is a very clear indication of the course that would be followed if ever Mr. Laurier held the reins of government. It is patent to everyone who has watch- ed the Liberal leader's course that the cause of national schools will not be advanced uy his efforts. Some important Points. C nada Presbyterian. From the past history of separate schools, and the most recent develop- ments, there are obviously sorue points that Manitoba cannot yield with any decent regard to her own welfare. Some of the Least of these points are : Uniform and thorough inspection by government school superintendents, teachers certified to be qualified by ex- aminers appointed by government, and that the text hooks, if not uniform in all the schools, shall at least in all cases have government sanction. Where Does the Grit Party Stand ? Canada Farmer's Sun. The Globe declared for non-interfer- ence with Manitoba in the school ques- tion, Hon, Mr. Laurier has just an- nounced that if a remedial measure is . introduced by the Government at Ot- tawa he will support it, and his declar- ation is said by him to he the declara- tion of the Liberal party. Which is correct, -the Globe, as the organ of the party, or Mr. Laurier, as its leader? Where is Whip Sutherland? The edi- tor, whip and leader being separated by many hundreds of miles, while one is in the West, another in the East, and the third looking after his home preserves in the center, things appear to be at sixes and sevens in the old party of Reform. Chenier's Statue. Toronto News. Hon. N. Clarke Wallace did a grace- ful act in admitting the statue of Dr. Chenier to this country, duty free and the press of Quebec are still discussing it. Chenier was a rebel enthusiast of 1837 who was killed while fighting against the Government of this coun- try. Whatever he may have been con- sidered then the uprising in which he took part brought about reforms for which Canada has been thankful ever since. Hence a large number of Cana- dians, especially those in the lower Province, have come to look on Dr. Chenier as a hero. The French Cana- dians have been taught to look an Con- troller Wallace as the leader of Ontar- io's Protestant fanatics. His action in the Chenier case will show them that after all he is not as black as painted by the press of Quebec. Why Not Potect Ourselves? Bruce Herald. All the towns and villages in this dis- trict have been visited by an inspector of the Underwriters' Association lately. In each case large demands were made on every place visited to bring it up to standard of the association. When all these demands are satisfied a fire will be next to impossible and with their receipts nearly intact the Association will continue to collect their rates as formerly. The people are asked to protect themselves and pay the com- panies for permitting them to do so. This Underwriters' Association have become the greatest combine in the country and the exactions which it is putting on the various municipalities has revived the question of civic insur- ance in many of them. Several of our exchanges consider civic insurance as much a necessity as civic :water- works. Clerical Aggression. Hamilton Spectator. At yesterday's session of the Angli- can synod at Montreal a message from the house of bishops was received ask- ing concurrence in a request to the On- tario legislature to abolish marriage by license in this province. The lower house refused to concur on the ground that it was a question for the considera- tion of the diocesian synods of Ontario. We suppose that that does not end the matter, and that it will he brought up in the Ontario synods. A great many people do not believe that the Anglican church, or any other church, has any right to interfere in marriages, holding that marriage ie'a civil contract. Those who think differently are at liberty to get married according to the rules of their respective sects ; but to compel those who do tnot believe in church marriages to go through the church service would be a tyranny which is not to he thought of in this free coun- try. Let the Anglican bishops and those who think with them make rules for the marriage of those who desire to follow them in this matter, -and no- body would make any serious ohjec- Nervous Prostration It is now a well established tact in medical science that nervousness Is due to impure blood. Therefore the true way to oure nervousness is by purify- ing and enriching the blood. The great blood purifier is Hood's Sarsa- parilla. Head this letter: "For the last two years I have been s great sufferer with nervous prostration and palpitation of the heart. I was weak in my limbs and had smothered sensa- tions. At last my physician advised ins to try Hood's Sarsaparilla which 1 did, and I am happy to say that I am now strong and well. I sin still using Hood's Sarsaparilla and would not be without it. I recommend it to all who are suffering with nervous prostration and palpitation of the heart." MRS. Davrox, 58 Alice St., Toronto, Ontario. Get Hood's, because Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the Only Tru: food .Purifier Prominently in the public eye today. It is not what we say but what Hoods Sar- caparilla does that tells the story. Hood9s act harrr.Oniously with s pills hood'esarsaparilla, 250 , tion ; but the bishops must not be per- mitted to make rules for those who look upon marriage as a civil contract, and who do not came to have their pri- vate intentions published from the pul- pit, and who look upon the fuss of a "church" wedding with abhorrence. Let every man and very woman get married in his or her own way. There is too much clerical interference with the priyate business of people as it is, and it won't do to legalize more inter- ference. Was Adam a Patron ? When Adam was a boy, the people were alt Patrons. -Canada Farmer's Sun. If this is so the deyil must have been a Patron too. And some people think he's still a member in good standing.- Hamilton Spectator. - It Nay Mean You. If the farmers ever had reason to be thankful for good crops that occasion has arrived. hile we all rejoice over the abundant harvest it is still neces- sary to refer to tfre fact that many NEWS -RECORD readers are in arrears for their paper.

Will all readers whose subscriptions are due remit at once? The label should read '96, The Trials of a Country Editor. Whatever may he the truth or the falsity of the stories that are told of the scarcity of the funds in a country's editors's pocket or the scarcity of food in his stomach, the stories are always told, and neither the progress of edu- cation nor the growth and develop- ment of the press seems to have any effect upon the crop. One of the bit - est comes from Kentucky, where the mountain editor, at least, rarely deve- lopes into a Croesus'or an Apicius, and this one is concerning a mountain editor. A subscriber had remembered hire very kindly, and a day or two a later a visitor called at his office. "Can I see the editor ?" he inquired of the grimy little "devil" roosting on a high stool. "No sir," replied the youth on the stool. "He's sick." "What's the matter with hie, ?" "Dun'no'," said the boy.

Neverthe- less, the yield is very good. oats and peas in particular. Large fields of fall wheat have been sown in this neighborhood.
