THE WEEK IN PARLIAMENT.
The feature of the parliamentary
week just closed was 'the speeches
made by Liberal members, Messrs.
Ileyd, Oliver, Sutherland (Essex).
Ruche (Halifax), Maclaren (Iluntiiij
ton), Holmes, Thompson, Schell, ku s
(Ontario), Gallilor, Gr :nt,
Lenneux and lTon. Wm. Patterson,
These heat et: e,. s etterances Were
features because no two of them
agreed as to the policy of the gov-
eminent. Some wanted increased "To-
tection, others free trade, while a
third quota favored tariff stability.
On the questions of reciprocity with
the •United States and the British pre-
ference they were equally happy in
their disagreements. Nothing in the
Liberal policy except the holding 01
power can bring them together.. Each
has his parish end of the game to
play and each played what he thougl t
would serve to catch the votes of h
(onstituency. Those opposed to t
government's attitude joined hands
with those favoring it in supporting
what was oflered for their votes..
For the Conservative policy of "'ade-
quate protection" Messrs. Blain, 'Vroo-
mau, Roache (Marquette), Bell, Rich-
ardson, Taylor, • Hackett, Morin,
Kemp, Henderson, Broder and Clarke
were as one man, having no .digeren-
ces on any feature of • the watchword,

lion, received ithe solidvote of 11.1
following.
Hon. J. Israel Tarte voted again::
the gcvernment. He forced Hon. Wi.
ham Patterson to admit that increaS
ed protection did not mean inereasea
prices. Mr. Patterson,. when • thade to
place himself fairly on record, swal-
lowed his main argument against the
policy of 6"Canada for Canadians"
and practically admitted .that for
years he has been deceiving the people
in this as in other matters.
The redistribution committee met
for organization.
CANADIAN FARMERS'
.ADVERTISER.
An echo of the crash with which the
"Canadian Farmer's' Advert'ssr'' col-
lapsed some yeats ago was heard in
court in Toronto last Friday when
.Mr. J. E. jot es, for the defendant,
i t',e Stil. o: Heise Vs. Hol.inan, mov-

have the trial at Berlin where, .he
says, he has twenty farmers prepared
to swear that Daly obtained the Con-

ANOTHER BLACK PAGE
IN • HISTORY.
The black record of the Liberal par-
ty in Dominion politics will not be.
improved by the allegiations made
in connection with the North Ontario
bye -elections, where Hon. George E.
Foster was defeated. The Cannington
Gleaner, one of the _leading papers, in
the riding, had this to say of the el-
ection:.
"The corrupting of the 'electorate
was not confined into the laity, . but
extended to men in high places, sc
high up in the Government of Canada.
that when thettrial is brought on .the
people of this grand Dominion will
hang their heads with shame. There
is much we could write and say con-
cerning this election but We leave it till
the court convenes at Cannington, in
due season ; then we will publish the •
evidence as adduced, and we can assure
oer readers that the Gamey episode
will take a second place to the many
acts of corruption commited in this
Turning to the Montreal Witness,
which heralded the result as an en-
dorsement of Sir William Mulockt and
free trade and a. rejection of Mr. Fost-
er and "Canada for the Canadians,"
the Gleaner adds that "it was net
the Government's pclicy, but the
amount of money, whiskey, and other
patronage made use of that caused
this riding to return a Liberal mem-
ber. Our personal opinion is that the,
riding should be disfranchised as two
English and two Irish bcroughs were
for bribery and corruption.
GENERAL ELECTION THIS FALL.
Everything points to a general elec-
tion this fall. The departments here
are preparing for it and the idea is to
go to the country before Sir Wilfred
Laurier's health llecomes so shattered
as to force him to retire. This ex-
plains the cooking of the public ac-
counts so at to show fake surpluses
in the post office department and on
the Intercolonial Railway. In W ser-
ies of manipulations by which large
amounts due capital account are being
carried over until next year, Hon. W,
S. Fielding is arranging for a big
surplus for the fiscal year. This bal.
ance, which will be reached on the
"robbing Petit- to pay Paul" basis,
will result in an enormous deficit dar-
ing 1903-4 but it will then be beyond
the ability of the peopk to punish
the offenders. The whole arrangement
is looked upon as a carefully laid plot
to deceive the electorate as to the
real condition of the country's finan-
ces. Sir William Mulock's action in
representing his department as having
a supplus ,of $5,000 which the Auditor
General- declares is a deficit of $380, -
ono, furnishes aft excellent example of
the lengths to which the present min-
isters of the crown are preparedto go
in order to lead their mastera-•the
people -astray. When the year 1903-4
is fully exposed the suppoeed surplus-
es will he.ve disappeared mid instead,
the offsetting slufftage will be a boo-
merang to• those who put their trust

Departmental store competition is
becoming more and !more 'a factor in
the. business prospects of the . mets
chants 't in smaller cities and towns.
The big. stores are. putting out feelers
all over the. country, They ,are telling
the people what tthey have and how
cheaply they are willing to part with
it. Even in their advertistag in • tile
dailies of the big centres they demand
a wider field than the cityitself; and
favor- the 'paper which reaches out
into the farthest centres of the coun-
try. A case in paint was that of . a
bigdaily which set agents to work, all
over Ontario; not excluding Stratford,
in order, as it was said, to reach a
certain circulation'by a certain date.
Beyoildsthat Was, prObably• a less t
ap-
parent aim, . the wish to snOW 'the
heavy departmental advertisers that
.it,could put :thein in toach with busi-
ness centres „far afield,'
In thus extending 'their ;territory the
departmental stores have naturally in-
fringed upon ,the territory of Many a'
local enterprise in ,the many towns and
cities where they have gained custom.
.Tbey have had to fight the local mer-
chant and the influences •which pertain
to his ,welfare. The trade journals, as
one of these influences; have 'won the
uncompromising ; =May .of the sell -
everything stores. • "Hardware and
Metal" tells how the fight is progres-
sing • and incidentally extends to the
inerchants who would successfully hold
their field against the invaders from
the metropolis a bit of sound advice
as to the wiadom of telling the public
that it 'pays to patronize hotne enter-
prige, '
It is obvious to everyone, says this
trade joarnal, that these department
stores are 1Crge1y cutting into the
field of the local merchants, not only
in Manitoba •and. the Northwest, but
in every part of. the Dominion;
through the medium of advertising.
Hardware and Metal goes on to ad-
vise as followss:
•
Besides advertising in flic ordinary
Way the department stoles are al-
.
ways looking about for ways and
means of reaching customers: We
know of an instance of a daily paper
in a certain town which supplied a
&pertinent store in Toronto with a
list ;of its subscribers, the list being
required by the department store for
the purpose of mailing eireulars and
catalogues to that particular paper's
readers. Tlie price paid, for the list
was $159.
There is no more effective way k for
minfinizing the influence of the depart -
meta store than by the local mer-
chants giving , all, publicity that is
within their power to the goods which
they carry in stock. The departmeut
stores frequently advertise bargains,
but the great majority of. the prices
then quote would not be sailleiently
attractive to get the business if they
were compared with the figures at
which the , local merchants catt sell
their gOodS.
It is this fact that needs to be fin-,
pressed upon the consumer and the
only way that this cati be done is by
meat* of publicity. One' of the best
mediums for this purpcse is the local
newspaper. Ail, advertiitenterit in the
load newspaper, AS a rule, is the
cheapest thing which the country trier -
chant gets.
Besides advertising hi the local pay -
tee, inerchalits should elicit the sym-
pathy and co-operation of the local
publishers in educating the consumers
to the feet that their ;requirements ean
be Supplied just an !cheaply, if not
more so, than by The large depart-

Who lived his life on a hermit plan.

But trudged along In his moody style
