-Mr. Graham, the new leader of
the Liberal party in Ontario, has an-
nounced his policy. On the whole, it
is a good one, but it is so similar to
that which the Government itself is
endeavoring to follow and develop,
that it seems to us that the Opposition
should fall right in line and assist Mr.
Whitney in carrying out the reforms
he has begun and those in contempla-
tion. Here are the points in the policy
outlined :-
A progressive forestry policy.
Abolition of contract prison labor.
Limiting the powers of large cor-
porations.
Perfect titles by the government.
Free school books.
Cheap power.
Economy in provincial business.
Absolute control by municipalities
of streets.
Management of the public schools
by teachers.
Increase of the succession duties.
Fixed and adequate income for the -
university.
Development of iron mines.
Establishment of smelting works.
Extension of the T. and N, 0. rail-
way to Georgian bay.
This is a very good program indeed,
but it contains very few things not
favored by the Whitney government,
and that government has not by any
means reached the limit of its ambi-
tion to do things for the people of On-
tario.
-Railway mileage under construc-
tion was greater during 1906 than in
any previous year in the history of
the Dominion. It was estimated that
upwards of 3,300 miles of new road
were built, and a total of $62,000,000
expended on construction and addi-
tional equipment, the largeness of
these totals illustrating in a striking
manner the developments in progress
in the commercial and industrial life
of the country.

-The British Columbia Provincial
elections were held on Saturday last.
The elector's arose in their might, and
resenting the interference of Premier
Laurier, returned Premier McBride to
power with a good majority over Lib-
erals and Socialists. The latest figures
are -Conservatives, 26 ; Liberals, 10;
Socialists, 3; in doubt, 4. It was a
hard-fought contest. The Conserva-
tives are elated and the Liberals are
correspondingly depressed, for they
were confident of victory.

-The importance ;of Agriculture in
the prosperity and development of a
country's possibilities is seen in the
fact that a bill is now before Congress
at Washington which calls for an ap-
propriation of $7,635,000 for the Unit-
ed States Department of Agriculture.
Since each State makes liberal appro-
priations for like purposes, the total
expenditure for agriculture in the
United States will probably reach the
neighborhood of $20,000,000, or more
than three times the expenditure of
the Provincial Government of Ontario
for all purposes.

-The report of the Department of
Public Works for the last fiscal year
shows an expenditure of $9,347,527.
Ten years ago the expenditure was
barely two millions ; now it is border-
ing on ten rniilions. The Chief Archi-
tect's report goes into many minor de-
tails. For instance, we learn from
this report how many coat -hooks were
put up in the buildings ; how many
desks were oiled; that nine chairs
were repaired in the Census office ;
that two window sashes were added
to the Privy Council building ; also
that three step -ladders were purchas-
ed, and a cushion was supplied for
each of two departments, and three
lamp shades were furnished the De-
partment of the Interior. While the
Chief Architect's report goes into
these little things, nothing is said
about the fall of the Laurier Tower,
on which $57,000 had been paid. It
will be remembered that this matter

(Ottawa Evening Journal.)
Dr. Chisholm, of East Huron,
has voiced the opportunity that
exists of aiding and promoting the
industry of our own fanners in
the canned meat industry as
against the help that is given di-
rectly and indirectly to the United
States fauuer•. With the situa-
tion in Chicago as it is, and the
fact established that there is a
danger to the public health in the
canned meat that is imported, it is
t'easonable that there should be a
demand for the better protection
of our own industry. Dr. Chis-
holm has tendered a public service
in drawing the attention of parlia-
ment to the opportunity and the
necessity on behalf of the produ-
cers and the consumers. A million
and a quarter dollars worth of
canned meats are brought into
this country from the United
States to compete with our own
products. There are in Canada
exactly the same classes of pro-
ducts, and against this million and
a quarter which the United States
send here, they take only some
fifty thousand dollars worth from
us. This general indication of the
situation proves that something
might be done with advantage to
our farmer, and with credit to our
own patriotism,
-The Weekly Sun says : A very
large number of petitions have been
presented to Parliament since the ses-
sion was resumed, on the Oth inst.,
protesting against a continuance of
iron and steel bounties. An indica-
tion of the force of public opinion rep-
resented in these petitions is furnished
in the case of Oro, where over four
hundred names were signed in one
township. The petitions do not, how-
ever, begin to represent the intensity
of the feeling throughout Ontario in
regard to this matter. If tune had
allowed, thousands of signatures
would have been obtained where
hun-
dreds have been secured. Notwith-
standing the protests entered, the
Liberal members at Ottawa have de-
termined, so a Globe despatch says, to
carry through the new scale of boun-
ties proposed. If the Government
does finally decide to add fifteen to :I
twenty-five millions to the gifts al-
ready made to the iron and steel
barons, it will go directly contrary to
the wishes of at least nine -tenths of
the rural voters of Ontario. The Sun
urges every man who is opposed to
this gigantic steal -to write at once to
his member at Ottawa.

(The Mail -Empire.)
Dr. Chisholm, the able represen-
tative of East Huron, is to the fore
with a proposition that the Fed-
eral Government should, in view
of the Chicago meat revelations,
take action in defence of the in-
terests of `Canada. The doctor
mentions that Parliament might
prohibit the importation of canned
meats and meat extracts from the
United States, thus protecting the
public health and giving aid to our
own industries. There can be no
doubt that in recent years the im-
portation of the Chicago rnaterial
has largely grown. In 1905 there
was $1,245,000 worth of the United
States meats in various forms
brought in to compete against our
own products. We have for sale
precisely the same classes of pro-
ducts as the United States send to
us, and while we buy $1,245,000
worth from our neighbors, they
purchase on an average $50,000
worth. from Canada. The ques-
tion of the relative values of the
purchases of each country from
the other is, of course, not up.
But it arises incidentally, and it is
important to note that, while we
buy so freely from the Chicago
packers, the mercantile interests
of the United States buy nothing
from us. With the situation
among the foreign packers so bacl,
and so dangerous to health, it is
quite reasonable that the facts in
relation to trade should strengthen
the demand for the better protec-
tion of our own people. Two re-
sults can be achieved by the one
movement against the United
States product. One is the defence -
of the public health, and the other
is the promotion of the industry
of our own farmers. Dr. Chisholm
does well to draw the attention of
Parliament to this important sub-
ject, and it can only be hoped that
his efforts in behalf of the pro-
ducers and of the consumers will
bear fruit.

W. J. ELLIOTT, Principal
(Cor. Yonge and .Alexander Ste.)
Reference to this question at the
present time may be considered quite
relevant, inasmuch as the Hon. Syd-
ney Fisher, Minister of Agriculture,
has now before the House a measure
providing for the inspection of Canned
Meats.
It will be remembered that, about a
year ago, there was great excitement
on account of the exposure of the aw-
ful methods that obtained in Chicago
packing houses, and indeed much un-
easiness was felt in Canada also, on
account of the large quantities of
American goods that find their way to
Canadian consumers. Little or noth-
ing, however, was done at the time,
except that Dr. Chisholm, the member
for East Huron, called the attention
of the Government to the hatter by
&siting,

for three years of meats and fluid
