Geo. W. lloes, tho" night he wile in the riding, slept two mitoriotr election operators. Yet agallait an these powerful and miaow puloua influences, Major Clark, single handed and alooe, won the victory. Decent men in the Liberal party will agree that such an election should not be protested. If candidates conduct- ing their elections as Major Clark con- ducted his, are to be subjected to the persecution of scoundrels who are pared to make evidence if none exists, there is little encouragement to eleara lioess and Honesty in the political game, The only thing to do is to quit it, $3,000,000 $3,474,000 Farxners' Notes discounted, Drafts sold on all points in Can- ada, the United States and Europe, SAVINGS DEPARTMENT.

Beerbohm places this year's crop at 2,917,600,000, or 70,200,000 bush- els less than last year. Dornbusch es- timates this year's crop at 3,064,000,000 or 96,000,000 bushels less than last year. The important point in this is that all the estimates point to a reduc- tion in the world's wheat crop as com- pared with that of 1903. * * —The Montreal Witness, in conse- quence of a recent increase in rates in its city, has looked up the figures of the insurance business of Canada, and it finds that the Canadian, British and United States fire companies received from the people in premiums, in 1903, $12,968,012, of which there reached the offices $10,588,084, and of which there was paid out for losses only $4,152,289. This shows that two-fifths of the amount paid by the public went for insurance and thiae-fitths for expens- es, profit and waste. * —The Muskoka election trial was concluded on Thursday. The Liberals utterly failed in their charges against Mr. Mahafty. The court, in summing up, held that the evidence had fallen short. Their Lordships had listened quietly for three days with no leek of diligence on the part of the petitioner, but nothing sufficient to void. the elec- tion had been proven. The candidate personally was exernpt from blame. The petition was disniissed with costs against the petitioner. The Conserva- tive candidate therefore is confirmed in his seat. - I THE CONSERVATIVE LEADER. Ma, RaL. Borden, the Leader of the Conservatives for the Dominiou, has begun his tour. Speaking at St. John recently he ably discussed the Gravel Trunk Pacific scheme. We append a few extracts from his address. His outspoken utterances will meet with approval from many of the electors. The larger part of Mr. Borden's time was devoted to the Grand Trunk Pa- cific contract. He pointed out the changes made in the last contract, showing that they were all in favor of the company, dwelling in a light vein with Mr. Fielding's explanation that the safeginuals which the Government prizes so highly in 1903 were given up in 1004 "because the company in- sisted on it." WHERE ARE CONCESSIONS To ENI? "Has it come to this," asked Mr. Borden, "that the people of Canada must do every- thing that a railway company demands? If the Grand Trunk Company has so much power to wring concessions from the Gov- ernment, where, if that Government re- mains M power, are these concessions to stop ? What asssurance have we that there will not be more concessions still further damaging to Canadian interests ?" "If we pay for it with public money, is it wise then to hand it over to pri- vate parties ? If we pay nine -tenths of the cost should we not pay the whole and control it ? The present scheme gives the public no control of rates." "We have Government ownership now. The Intercolonial has not paid direct profits, but it may have paid in- directly. And the Intereolonial has never had independent management, such as they have in Australia,. They tell us that we could not place a Gov- ernment railway under independent control. Well, at least we can try." "If it is the will of the people of Canada that the proposed road shall be construct- ed and owned by the people, the Conserva- tive party is prepared to place upon the statute book a measure enabling the peo- ple to take the necessary steps by the • payment of the necessary compensation." After discussing the fiscal policy of the Conservative party and appealing to the audience to say whether they did not think that some of the large and increasing quantities of manufac- tured goods taken from the States could be made in this country, Mr. Borden argued that while he was a protectionist he was none the less a strong believer in Mr. Chamberlain's programme. It was only reciprocity that Mr. Chamberlain proposed, and he could not see why men who had been shouting all their lives for reci- procity with the United States should be so afraid of reciprocity with our kith and kin beyond the sea. If Cham- berlain meant extreme militarism or interference with modern autonomy he would not support it. As it meant nothing of the kind he stood for it. "Between the Canadian prodUcer and any ether I stand for the Canadian. Be- tween the British and foreign producer I am for the Briton every time." * * —The Baltimore Sun gives the fol- lowing example of a physician refus- ing to take his own medicine :--A not- ed surgeon of this city was recently attacked by appendicitis'. This sur- geon performed 500 operations last year and lost but two ; but when he was told that he had to be operated upon, he objeeted, although the opera- tors were also noted surgeons and in - Ulnae friends. "Not on your life," said the patient. Urging was of no avail, and finally remedies unaccona periled by the knife were used. The surgeon was sick some weeks, but ho finally recovered, and only reeently has been chronicled as having per- formed an operation for the disease 'with which lie, too, was afflicted, and for which he would not undergo a siege at fellow hands. • * —Regarding the protest against the election of Hugh Clark in Centre l3rnee, the Guelph Herald says Never, possibly, in the political his- tory of Ontario was a cleaner eleetion fought than that by which Major Clark retained by it largely increased majority the constituency he had won in the general elections of 1002. Ile did all the work lihnself ; he refosed to take money to help him in We legit - Mtto expenses. Not a single speaker or organizer or helper of any kind from outside took part in the Mtn- paign on his behalf. Mr. Clatk was particular to avoid even the slightest appearance of evil, Against Mtn were tusrayed all the forces of the machine, Five Cabinet Ministers, including the Prentice, and seventeen other epeakeas, mostly Meirthere of the Legislature, addressed meetings on behalf of the I SOME SPECIMEN TAXES. . - expenditures, that must he largely borne by the toilers. it field and fac- tory, It would be wisdom on the part of our political pilots to fix .their eyes on the headland, and reef in their sails before the ' storm breaks upon us. Keep a vow registered that the mem- ber of Parliament who gives his pledge flulce ,e,ie. 0 upon at , to vote for certain principles, then deliberately breaks Lis ward, would never again receive your vote and in - time, beyond. which memory knoweth not to the contrary, a oomber of politicians met in convert- tioo and said they 'viewed with alum the large increase in the controllable expenditure of the Dominion amount- ing to $37,000,000, and the consequent undtte taxation of the people,' and solemnly vowed that if they were en- trusted with the reins of Government they would by rigid economy and re- trenchment reduce the annual expen- diture. of the people's money from three to Ave millions. Now, history repeats itself. Ten short years have come and gone, and the representa- tives a the farmers of Canada meet in convention, and I think 1 speak for the majority of the farmers of Canada when I state we, too, view with sin- cere alarm, the proposed expenditure of nearly $80,000,000." (Weekly Sun.) The people of Canada paid $325,000 in Customs taxes on the carriages they imported in 1903. They paid $355,000 in duties on im- ported caapets. The tax on their imported hats, caps and bonnets amounted to $472,000. They were forced to pay over to the Government $614,000 on the American agricultural implements purchased by them. They peal $1,754,000 in taxation on imported cottons. They put up $2,788,000 in Customs on the sugar and molasses brought in. They were obliged to pay into the Dominion treasury almost the even $3,000,000 on the woolen goods they brought from abroad. And they were taxed close on $4,- 000,000 on the iron and steel im- ported. What do you think of it ? FARMERS' ASSOCIATION The Farmers' Association of Canada, held its anoint' meeting in Toronto last week, the sixty delegates in 'at- tendance representing nearly every eonnty in the provinee. President J. Lockie Wilson, in his address, commented on current affairs and made one or two political Alla- eions, that were very pointed, and Should be taken- note of by every far - Mer. "There never was a time," said Mr. Wilson, "when there was more need of a united farmers' association, and for the insistence of the practice- of pain economy inoar Federal, ProVira del and Mi ie1pl Goveranients! am not a pessimist, but, U 1 have read the bistory of the past aright, the lean year will cow inoin, and empty barns and starvation prices will smite, ly earn, besides a living, enough to bear the burdensome taxation netes, ionowity areoklesi 111434$4 of A GIGANTIC BLUNDER. (Ottawa joornal.) In the very contract With the Grand Trunk Pacific syndicate, by which the. Government has assumed the respon- sibility of constructing a thousand miles of the most difficult and profit- less railway, to remain a Government property though leased for a term to the. Grand Trunk, the Government recognized the propriety and desira- bility of Government ownership of railways. Yet the Government has persistently ignored the opportunity to buy 400 miles of completed and splendidly equipped road tremendous- ly important to the existing Govern- ment railway system, and at probably no cost to Canada whatever ; and has left that property to hp acquired by a private company to which the Canada Atlantic R'y certainly can not be more valuable or necessary than it was to the Intereolonial system. And the public loses the possibility of a through Government route from the Atlantic Ocean to time upon discrimination or extortion by the huge private railway systems, three of which are rapidly engulfing all other transportation in- terests in Canad't. In The Journal's estimation the Dominion Government in its omission to acquire the Canada Atlantic has thus been guilty of one of those blunders which are ahnost worse than creams. - COAL AT SHELBURNE. James Pickering of the Shelburne Electric Light Works was in- Toronto with samples of gold ore and coal dis- covered in this locality. He visited the government .bureau of mines and had his samples tested. The gold ore contained certain quantities of gold, but they did not think it would be got in paying quantities. The samples taken down were picked up on An- drew street in Shelburne. All that part of Shelburne lying west of Vic- toria street formerly belonged to the farm of A. Jelly. The pieces of coal taken to Toronto were from the farm of FL Stoddard, west half Of lot 7, con. 4, Old Survey, Melancthon, formerly owned by Joseph Hannah, now of Toronto. The government authori- ties say it is one of the best samples of coal yet shown them and is even a better quality than the anthracite Coal brought into Canada from the States. The department informed Mr. Pickering that the coal was all right and hoped he would locate a paying deposit. — [Shelburne Free Press. 'THE CANADA BUSINESS COLLEGE CHATHAM, ONT.
