----North Renfrew has been dis-

the Late Liberal member polled a
majority of live hundred, yet Cap-
tain Sullivan and Mr. Ross are
afraid to bring on the bye -election.
—Sixty thousand dollars an
ounce is an enormous price, yet
this is actually being paid for the
newly -discovered "Radium." 'Me-
dical ?nen and scientists are willing
to pay this price for it, and the de-

Canadian cheese appears thief
year to be selling in the British
market well up to the price of the
best English, Three weeks ago,
says the Scottish Trader, when
British home cheddars were selling
at 114-7 to 12 3-70 per pound, Ca-
nadians were selling in the same
market at 11 1-7 to 12o, or only
three -sevenths of a cent below the
home made.
At the end of 1902 the railway
,mileage of the world was 532,500,
of which the United States had
202,471 miles and Europe 180,708.
Asia came next with 41,814, and
Africa last with 14,187 miles. The
British Empire bad 91,485, the
German Empire 32,752, and the
Russian Empire 31,945 miles. The
United States, therefore, has six
times as much as either the German
or the Russian Empires.

—Mr. Robert Kerr, passenger
traffic manager of the Canadian
Pacific Railway, has just returned
from Great Britain and Europe,
He went practically all through
Great Britain and also visited Ant-
werp, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Co-
penhagen and Gattenburg. He
says :--'RI found a great and grow-
ing interest in, Canada, and espe-
cially was this the case in Great
Britain and in Germany. Every-
one seemed interested in Canada
and I marked the growing desire
to learn more about Canada, with
the ultimate idea of coming here to
settle. I think British emigration
to Canada is just about starting,
and I believe next year will be a
splendid one."
—The Globe's Ottawa correspon-
dent wrote as follows on Friday
last :—The impression is gaining
ground that there will be another
session before an election, It will
be a very brief one, and only legis-
lation of the most urgent character
will be passed. Then the govern-
ment will dissolve parliament and
go to the country. It is under-
stood that the majority of Ministe-
rial members, certainly those from
Quebec, favor another session ra-
ther thani an immediate appeal to
the electorate. At the same time,
if the government choose to have
the elections this winter, they have
good reasons for doing so in the re-
distribution of constituencies and
the Grand Trunk Pacific policy.
—Already steamers may keep in
virtually continuous communica-
tion with the shore by means of
wireless telegraphy. Thus far no
vessel has steamed across and kept
in line with the coast throughout
her voyage, but by keeping up com-
munication with the shore of de-
parture for two days and with pass-
ing vessels the next two days and
with the shore of approach for the
last two days of the trip, it is pos-
sible for her to be within touch of
land almost all that time. Now an
attempt' is being made to hold a
steamer in direct communication
with one point on shore all the
way across. The Lucania is to be
fitted with extra powerful instru-
ments and the experiment will
consist in sending frequent messa-
ges to and from her until she lands
on the other side.
WHAT MAY BE EXPECTED,
(Weekly Sun.)
Indications of a Coming period
of depression in the United States
are to be seen on every hand. Go
where you will in the United States
you will find the feeling expressed
that the Republic is on the eve of
an industrial crisis. The feeling is
in the air; it finds expression every-
where. This general belief was
voiced at the Farmers' National
Congress at Niagara, Falls two
weeks ago, and is almost a Constant
theme of discussion in industrial
circles and in the press.
A. great 'United States financier,',
do an interview published in the
z`l'ew York World, says that the
United States is at the very begin-
ning of industrial hard times. The
country will, he says, sweat Mood
before many months are over. He
believes before the present year
ends hundreds of thousands of men
who are now employed will be idIe.
Ire bases his statement an the feet
that the Americans are DOW Manti-
fa•Cturing more than they can self,
and under these conditions gigantie
industrial corporations, which have
hoot ;palm* over -capitalized,
!cannot begin to pay dividends.
One of the awes) ipdioations bf
the coming of a period of deprfes-
sion in the United States is found
in the case of iron. Iron the basis
of so many industries, is the best
THE WING AM ADVANCE.
Thursday, October 15, 1903
commercial baroodneter. When it is
depressed, other industries are de-
pressed as well, To -day pig iron
in New York, says the Financier
just quoted, is $G per ton less than
it was last year.
What effect will this depression
have on Canada ? That we will
suffer more or .less from it is be-
yond question, because the two
countries are so closely associated
industrially, and because, too, the
same over -capitalization has taken
place here that is one of the main
causes of the coming trouble in the
United States. This country is,
However, not likely to suffer to the
same extent as the United States,
The Americans to -day are receiv-
ing, in the form of immigration,
people from Southern Europe, who
are without money, and who are
not disposed to till the land, which
is the real basis of national pros-
perity, We in this country, on the
other hand, are receiving a tide of
immigration far beyond any previ-
ous period in our history, and the
immigrants who are corning to us
are generally people of substance,
and people who are coming to en-
gage in the development of the ag-
ricultural resources of the North-
west, In this is found our chief
protection against the period of de-
pression which is surely coming to
this continent.
In one respect, if our farmers act
wisely, the depression may be
turned to advantage, All over On-
tario are to be found a large num-
ber of farm buildings which require
remodelling, Farmers have lately
been deterred from remodelling by
the high price of material and
labor. Both these commodities
will undoubtedly. be reduced in
price inside of twelve months, and
when this reduction takes place
the time for building will have ar-
rived,
THE SUBSIDY EVIL.
The Canadian Magazine has been
a strong opponent of the subsidy
evil. In its current issue, referring
to the announcement of Sir Wilfrid
Laurier that more subsidies will be
brought down, it says :
" The country " is prosperous.
There is no doubt of that, but the
reasonable conclusion would be that
this prosperity would remove the
necessity of bonuses. If bonuses
are to be granted because the coun-
try is prosperous, then they may
be expected to increase in size and
number as the years go by. Surely
the absurdity of this would have
revealed itself to such shrewd and
able men as Sir Wilfrid Laurier
and the Hon. Mr. Fielding. Tito
real reason for this revival of sub-
sidies is due, no doubt, to compro-
mises which were rendered neces-
sary by the Grand Trunk Pacific
scheme. The Canadian Northern
people have considerable influence
in both parties, and they demand
subsidies as the price of their ac-
quiescence in the Grand Trunk's
magnificent bargain. The same
may be said of the Canadian Paei-
fie people, the Trans -Canada crowd
and the Quebec bridge promoters.
In order to smooth down the oppo-
sition to the Government's bargain
with one set of financiers, all the
other sets must get a share of the
plunder, In Great Britain pros-
perity and an expanding revenue
mean a reduction of taxation ; in
Canada they mean an increase in
the levies and a more generous
giving "to him that hath,"
RECKLESS EXPENDITURE.
The Government has broken all
records for expenditure. With
supplementary estimates of $10,-
390,863 for 1903-4 brought down
this week, the total amount which
parliament has been asked to vote
during the, present session reaches
the enormous sum of $73,091,805,
This includes $5,590,968 for the
year 1902-03, so that the total so
far for the present fiscal year is
$67,700,837. Since the present
parliament was convened the Lib-
erals have brought down the fol-
lowing votes :-
1901-2 $59,924,740
1902-3 64,452,902
1903-4 67, 700, 837
During the last session of the
previous parliament, 1900-01, the
Vote stood at $56,611,085, which
meant; that since the government
last appealed to the people they
have sent the expenditure up $11,-1
089,752—not includitg items for
1903-04 which remain to be voted
during this and the next session.
During the last year of Conser-
vative rule, 1896, the total expen-
diture was $44,096,383, or $23,-
604,454 less than the vote already
in view for 1903.04,
In addition to the $73,01,805,
which is only intended for the or-
dinary purposes of government, the
Liberals have pledged the country's
credit for over $100,000,000 for the
Grand Trunk 1'aci6c deal and $9,-
360,000 for the Canadian ATorthern,
