—According to `figures prepared by
Department of Agriculture officials,
the United States crop will be worth
nearly eight billion dollars. The
chief statistician says :—"Indications
are for great crops. For eight years
the American farmer has enjoyed un-
precedehted prosperity, and now the
ninth promising harvest is practically
assured. Never have there been nine
such years, years of big yields and
high prices. •

—By the new Saskatchewan license
law, bar rooms must close daily at 10
o'clock p.m., and on public holidays
must be closed all day ; club licenses
are not allowed, and a majority may
carry and put into force a local option
by-law. Saskatchewan has the new-
est and in some ways the most varie-
gated population in Canada. It is
fairly near the head of the procession
in restricting the licensed victuallers'
opportunities for making profit.
—Many Liberal papers are noting
changesnecessary, if their party is to
regain lost prestige. The Post Hope
Guide, a strong . Liberal paper, has
this to say :—"There must be a reor-
ganization, and, first and forem6st, it
will be .absolutely necessary to learn
that our leaders cannot allow mea-
sures to pass unopposed in our legisla-
ture, and then mount the political
rostrum or through some sermonettes,
denounce them in ringing terms, and
thus try to draw a red herring 'across
the trail. Such miserable tactics are
bound to fall. They are too thin."
This, from a Liberal paper, is a severe
criticism of A. G. MacKay.
Crops And Business,
In 1000 Ontario's crop was worth
$250,000,000. Ti 1007 Ontario farmers
lost $80,000,000 on their crops, This
year, if the crops aro good, Ontario's
crop will wipe out last year's loss and
allow the farmers to put something in
the bank,
In 1007, with an increase of 300,091
acres nndercultivation, harvests were
Ontario so.`t
poori � thr+,t the net
decrease in bushels was 36,825,470,
If the harvest averages as good as 1000
on the present acreage tilled, the
increase over 1007 will be 55,000,000
if the d
bushels ancropsare as valtt-
able only as the crops of 1000, at least
they will be worth $250,000,000. 1 coni
present indications. the value will be
even greater.•
Good crops in Ontario for 1008 mean
an increase over 1007 of 55,000,000
bushels of grain.
Good crops mean all increase of
1,585,524 tons of hay.
Gond crops mean an increase of over
$80,000,000 for grain and° $20,000,000
for hay.
Bankers are in touch with flnapeial
conditions, hence their opinion is of
value. Sir George Drummond, Pre-
sident of the Barik of Montreal,
regards the outlook for business
throughout the country very hopeful-
ly. He does not expect to see an
immediate.and complete recovery of
the activity of two years ago, but lie
considers that with good crops and
favorable conditions, there is little
doubt of at steady improvement and
return to prosperous conditions.
"What Canada needs," said Byron
E. Walker, president of the Canadian
Bank of Commerce, in an interview
last week, "is a year of good crops,
and a year of economy. Good crops
alone will not do, as Canadians have
been living ahead of their means, and
have not yet received a sufficient pun-
ishment in hardship to realize that.
The arrival of a good crop in Canada
may have the effect of inducing people
to go on cutting the same wide swath
of overexpenditure, and the same re-
sult of hard times and depression will
follow. The natural result of another
good crop in Canada will be that
money will be easier. Municipalities
will be able to sell their bonds. Then
they will plunge again into expendi-
tures for improvements, which will
not be justified, for the country needs
caution as well as crop."

—At present, there is little or no
sign of the .prorogation of the Domin-
ion Parliament. The more optimistic
put it down for on or about July 15,
while there are others who are willing
to state openly that August will find
the House• grinding away at legisla-
tion which 'should have been intro'
duced months ago. That there is a
general feeling of unrest on the Gov-
ernment side at the protracted session
cannot be denied. With the seventh
month well under way, and with the
knowledge that if they stayed until
Christmas all they will receive for
their service§ is $2,500, there is on all
sides a desire to get through and
home. ,
* *
—The Windsor Record is a Liberal
newspaper, but it frequently criticizes
the Dominion Government's expendi-
ture. On the Bounty qnestion, the
Record voices public opinion, when .it
says :—"It is now proposed to extend
for another five years the payment of
75 cents a ton to the lead industry, an
"infant" that although well up in its
teens keeps its mouth glued to.,the
nursing bottle.So with the iron and
steel industry, a bantling 25 years old,
which started with a sop of $1.50 a
ton on pig iron. Now the infant re-
ceives $2.10 a ton and $6 a ton on
goods made from the raw material.
The farmer who sells his products in
the open market or at prices fixed by
combines may well think that the Ot-
tawa Administration have gone
bounty crazy. Unless the Govern-
ment takes in a reef in their canvas,
they may have to reckon with a ser-
ious lapse in the agricultural vote at
next election. Special privilege has
had the call long enough at Ottawa."
*
—Opinions differ widely as to whe-
ther or not there will be a Dominion
election this year. Before the Ontario
and Quebec elections, it was admitted
freely on the Liberal side in Ottawa,
that if 'Whitney's Inajority was sub-
stantially reduced, and Quebec show-
ed no signs of a turn, Sir Wilfrid
Laurier would wind up the session
quickly, make a whirlwind tour of
East and West, and then take the
plunge. But it is said, that the re-
sults of June 8th, have put another
face on the matter. With a huge
Conservative majority in Ontario,
and a substantial increase in the Op-
position forces at Quebec, Liberals
frankly adniit that it would be folly
to go to the eountry with the tide roll -
in g for the Conservative art Com.
party.
ing on top of New Brunswick, Oat.
ario and Quebec have wiped out the
idea of a federal appeal to the 'people
this year. At least such is the view
taken by many of the leading mem-
bers of kite douse. It is, however, a
question as to which is best, for to
wait another year might lessen the
oildkiees of stlea:essl,

The Expenditure Record.
"1 promise you that if you put
our party into power, we will re-
duce the annual expenditure by
$2,000,000 or ,ii3,000,000 per an-
fllttlt,.,
The above is what Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier said in 1800, Sir Richard Cart-
wright went further. The Conserva-
tive Government, then in power, ex-
pendedand i' a•cl

declared as follows ;
"I say it is a disgrace and a
shame to the Government, that
they ask for an expenditure of
$38,000,000 a year for Federal
purposes, The thing is utterly
unjustifiable."
In 1805.0, the Conservative'Govern-
ment's total expenditure was $41,702,-
333. The Liberals then camp into
power, and in eleven years have in-
creased the expenditure
From $41,702,383
To 110,500,000
Mr. Fyshe, one of the commission-
ers appointed by the Laurier Govern-
ment, uses setae very strong language
regarding the management of the
Marine department, which he has
characterized as "damnable, outrage-
ous and rotten."
It will be remembered that three
Commissioners were appointed to in-
vestigate the Marine department, and
their report startled the country.
Further investigation was demanded,
and Sir Wilfrid Laurier appointed
judge Cassels to look into the
charges.
Last week, at the invbstigation,
Colonel Gourdeau, when being exam-
ined said in reference to supplies pur-
chased by the Marine department,
that the country lost the difference
between 'wholesale and retail prices.
"How much would this amount to
dollars and cents in the last three
years?" Commissioner Cassels asked.
"About $200,000," Col. Gourdeau
said.
"Then," said' Jndge Cassels, "this
$200,000 was money spent to secure
the fidelity of the faithful?"
"It is a matter of policy," said
Gourdeau.
"A matter of election. policy," said
,Judge Cassels.
This is only one of the very many
leaks, and helps to explain why the
expenditure of this Dominion has in-
creased, until it has reached the enor-
mous sunt of over one hundred million
dollars.
The Toronto News, very aptly re-
marks
"As a 'revelation of the loose busi-
ness methods in vogue at Ottawa the
Auditor -General's evidence before Mr.
Justice Cassels is startling. That offs=
cial's lack of faith in the certificates of
expenditures sent in by officers of the
Marine Department, the fact that one
of them was compelled to refund sev-
eral hundred dollars entered as "tra-
velling expenses," the over -payment
of our old friend Merwin, and the
statement that the country has paid
$150,000 for fog signals worth $25,000
are sufficient to make the country do
some serious thinking. Surely we
have fallen into evil hands, and upon
evil days."

This was an increase of $68,797,017, or
163 per cent.
In other words, the expenditftre per
head of our population in 1396 was
$8.14 ; it is now $18.00. In 1908, the.
expenditure for every family in Can-

Have Von Weak Lungs ?
Do You hear Consumption ?
•'When we take into consideration
the fact that one out of every seven
in this climate die of consumption, is
it any wonder that it is feared by the
people of Wingham who have weak
lungs and chronic colds and coughs ?
"A famous London physician has
for years urged his patients, when the
slightest tendency to consumption ap-
peared, to take all the cod liver oil
possible into their systems, and phy-
sicians everywhere have recognized
its value for coughs, colds, bronchitis,
consumption and all wasting diseases,
but unfortunately, few could take it
and derive the full benefit from its
use, on account of indigestible grease
which it contained.
"We want every person in Wing -
ham to know the value of our new
cod liver oil preparation Vinol. It
actually contains in a concentrated
form all of the medicinal body-build-
ing elements of cod liver oil actually
taken from fresh cods' livers, without
a drop of oil or grease to upset the
stomach and retard its work.
"Therefore, wherever old-fashioned
cod Hier oil or emulsions will do good,
Vinol will do far more good. We
guarantee Vinol will improve the
appetite, strengthen, cure chronic
coughs and colds and strengthen weak
lungs.
"If Vinol fails to give satisfaction to
our customers, we return money with-
out question." J. Walton McKibbon,
