FOR BUSINESS
Our store has been an exceptionally busy spot
during the past few weeks—having exactly what you
want in the very newest designs, and yet not out of
your reach in price. Those $8 Sideboards which we
offered last were fast sellers (a few still in stock) but
we have a half-dozen No. 152 at $14 which we con-
sider still better value for the difference in price ; to
see these Sideboards is to buy. Others for less money
with a good range to select from up to $45.
In Bedroom Suites, its a settled question that we
have the assortment, and prices astonishingly low.
Wire Springs—the kind that gives satisfaction—
$2.50, $2.75, $3.00.
Mattresses—extra heavy ticking, $2.50 up to
$1t9.50. See them.

—From the latest trade returns
at hand, we find that Great Britain
imported in 1900, $113,616,854
worth of wheat, of which Canada
sent $10,740,139 worth, and of
flour, $49,165,713, Canada contri-
buting towards that amount but
$2,777,309, the United States send-
ing $40,715,779 worth of the latter.
*
—The evidence in East Middle-
sex election case was concluded on
Saturday, and the argument there-
on postponed for several weeks.
Treating voters appears to have
been the rule, and offering of bribes
seems to have assisted in giving
Dr. Rutledge (Lib.) his slim ma-
jority. The cross petition against
Capt. Robson was dismissed with
costs.
*
—According to' a recent report
from the Department of Agricul-
ture at Ottawa, there is a splendid
market in South Africa for Cana-
dian flour; which is one of the few
things there admitted free of duty.
In 1898 the. United States supplied
the' bulk of flour imported, and
Australia the remainder. The first
consignment of Canadian flour ar-
riving at Durban proved satisfac-
tory in every way, dealers being
very much pleased with the quality
and repeating their orders. Other
things being equal, Canadian flour
will there get the preference.
* *
—The South Oxford election case
to unseat Donald Sutherland, M.
P. P., has been postponed until
Decemper 1st, So far eleven char-
ges have been heard—one of these
was confirmed, that of hiring livery
rigs, but as agency was not proven
it in no way invalidates the elec-
tion; seven charges were dismissed
and thirty-eight abandoned. Jus-
tice Street severely denounced the
methods used by Liberals to obtain
evidence. He said --"I never saw
anything like it in court in my ex-
perience before. How is it possible
to trust it ?" Counsel S. H. Blake
said—"In all my experience I have
never known such an attempt wil-
fully to obstruct, pervert and de-
feat the ends of justice, as has
marked the course of the petition-
ers in this trial."
* *
—An attempt is being made in
England to revise the standard of
weights for commercial purposes.
The suggestion is to create new
weights of 50 pounds, 25 pounds,
nr 20 pounds, 10 pounds, and 5
pounds avoirdupois, respectively,
to run concurrently with the hun-
dredweight series of weights. The
corn, cotton and tobacco trades
have adopted the cental system,
but it is necessary to make up the
cental to use the 56 -pound, the 28 -
pound, the 14 -pound and the 21 -
pound weight. If two sets of
weights are used, one based on the
hundredweight 'and the other on
the cental, confusion can be avoid-
ed by making the new weights, or
otherwise plainly distinguishing be-
tween the two weights. This new
system is averred to be imperative
in order to accelerate and make
British trade easier than it is with
the antiquated system of hundred-
weights, quarters and pounds. The
proposal is being enthusiastically
supported and there seems every
possibility of its coming into vogue.
* * a
—Another big addition to Cana-
da's national debt in 1901-02 is the
result of the "growing time" policy
of the Laurier government. With
an unprecedented revenue, Hon.
W. S. Fielding has again failed to
keep the expenditure within bounds
and has added $5,967,193 to our
national mortgage. During the
past six years the Liberals have in-
creased the debt to this extent :--
1897 ,.. $5,142,977
1898 4,777,771
1899 4,799,433
1900 . 1,686,000
1901 5,466,332
1902 . 5,967,193
$27,839,796
The latest itcrease in our liabilities
has to be shouldered despite the
fact that during 1901-02 Canada's
receipts were $5,509,587 in excess
of those of 1900-01. No great pub-
lic undertaking had to be provided
for last year, so that the same old
story of wasting a few thousand
here and a few more there has had
to be offered in explanation of the
reigning carnival of expenditure.

---The London Free Press thus
criticises Premier Ross :— "Mr.
Ross has been the Provincial Trea-
surer for years, He said at Whitby
that there was a proper system of
auditing, that the auditor 'does not
pay a single dollar for any purpose
unless the expenditure is authoriz-
ed by the House.' Yet at New-
market he was forced to admit that
in the matter of the Estates Duties,
where the whole business was en-
trusted' to the solicitor, there had
been no proper audit for six years,
from the passing of the act, and
that neither he, as Treasurer, nor
any one else could say, until the
whole six years' accounts were ex-
amined, taking months of time,
whath
t e defalcation would be.
Not only so, but even Mr. Ross'
own accounts of his expenses in
Europe last year, have not yet seen

the light of day. He spout $1,800
and the auditor had no cheek upon
Bina, Holding the Treasury in his
owls charge, Mr, Boss claimed the
privilege of using the money it
contained at his own discretion for
his own holiday expenditures, and
without the oversight of the Pro-
vincial Auditor, without which he
said at Whitby not a dollar could
be paid, out 1"

—Ontario has nooccasion to be
ashamed of a comparison of her
standing, from an agricultural
standpoint, with that of New York
State, An official report issued
from New York states that the
value of live stook in New York is
one hundred and twenty-four and
one-half millions ; the value of the
same sort of stock in this Province,
according to the Bureau of Indus-
tries, is one hundred and twenty-
three and a quarter million dollars.
The value of land, fences, and
buildings in New York State is a
little over' nine hundred and sixty-
eight million dollars ; in Ontario it
is seven hundred and ninety-four
million dollars. The value of im-
plements and machinery in New
York State is forty-six and one-
half million dollars ; bere it .is
nearly fifty-seven and one-half mill-
ions. The total value of all farm
property in New York State is $1,-
139,310,616 ; the value of the same
property in Ontario is $974,814,931.
Since the population of New York
State is more than treble that of
Ontario, the comparison of the val-
uations of farm property in the two
cases is exceedingly creditable to
the Province of Ontario.
RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
•
(Farmers' Advocate,)
The free rural mail -delivery sys-
tem has now spread to nearly every
part of the United States. Though
only six years since the first ex-
periment was tried, there are now
reported nearly 10,000 routes in
operation, bringing probably 1,000,-
000 families in more direct contact
with the business of town world.
The time that is wasted and the
discomforts to which farmers are
subjected in many districts, going
miles over bad roads and through
inclement weather to secure their
daily or tri -weekly mail, can hardly
be realized by the city man who
has his mail deposited at his -front
door twice a day if he does not care
to walk a few blocks to the post -
office on a well -lighted sidewalk.
Thus far in Canada little, if any-
thing, has been done in that direc-
tion by the postal authorities, but
it is a boon that would certainly be
appreciated. In ln, ny localities
there is a daily service' by stage or
train to post -offices that are short
distances apart, but in many others
the situation is lamentaNy differ-
ent. A prompt and regular free
delivery would encourage corres-
ondence and promote the business
nterests of farmers. The country
elephone and rural mail delivery
ut the farmer and stockman on a
ery fair basis, compared with the
ownsman, so far as business com-
munications are concerned. Seeing
at it has been so generally and
uceessf ally established for the ben -
fit of the U. S. farmers, the time
s surely, ripe in these progressive
ays in Canada for the introduction
f the system here. The carriers
hould collect as well as deliver.

To have a soft, smooth skin, free

must be healthy and pure. Ferrozone
invigorates enfeebled blood, and
cleanses it of all impurities and poisons.
It brings color to the lips and cheeks,
brilliancy to the eyes, whitens the
teeth and sweetens the breath. No
tonic compares with Ferrozone in
rapid action and permanent results.
