The introductiou of the measure for the baiiding of the Graud Trunk Pacific i was one which marked the wisdom of the Laurier Government. It showed a breadth of view in regard to the necessi- ties and future development of Canada which placed the Goverument among the most forseeiug of auy that has ever guided the destinies of this country. It was met at first by the Conservatives opposition and later with a hotchpotch policy for au eastern outlet. Gradually, it is true, they have veered around in favor of government ownership, but so many have been the schemes advo- cated by the party of which Mr. Borden is the head that it is even now difficult to say what they are in favor of. It is safe to aver that at the outset the neces- sity of a second traucoutiueutal railway wad not acknowledged by thein. Its need was set forte by Hou. Clifford Sifton iu the House of Cumuioud very clearly wbeu he spoke upon the mea- sure. Having touched upou the cop. gestiou of the wheat freight iu the North-West, tie Hata. "I wish to point to this house, in con- nection with the situation there, a most important circumstauce. You have u large and impett ant part of Osuada so situated that it is a thousand miles away from the other portion of the country with which it has political and business affiliations; and you have immeoiately south of our western territory a well-de- veloped, well -peopled district with vigor- oas and capable railway system. Imme- diately south of the boundary line bet- ween Manitoba and the States of Minnesota and Dakota, there are four or five of the finest railway systems iu the world -Tae Burliugtou, the Chicago & North-Western, the Great Northern„ the Northern Pacific, the Chicago, Mil- waukee & St. Paul-stroug, well-equip- ped, vigorous systems, thoroughly versed in everything that pertains to the man- agement of the railway business on the prairies. They are ouly a few miles away from Manitoba and our prairie district in the North-West Territories and do you expect that yon are going to allow the traffic to be congested year after year, the grain to be held up, and the merchauts to be left with their shelves empty for lack of transportation facilities, and that these railway systems are not going to go in there and take this business to the south? It is con- trary to experience and common sense. No person who has any knowledge of the situation will for an instant throw any doubt on this statement, that if arrangements are not made for relieving this congestion of traffic, not only in wheat, but in cattle, and products of all kinds, for shipment outwards, and in general merchandise for shipment in- wards, aid if these arrangements are not made aooa as surely as the sun shines, the greater part of that trade will go to the south." Proceeding, he showed that the Canadian agricultural implement makers were being handi• Capped by the same want of accommoda• tion." The cost under the system of construc- tion laid down by the Government is now the main point of attack. The Luis. representations made in this respect have frequently been pointed oat, but it may bo welt at this juncture to quote the words of Sir Richard Cartwright, an undoubted anthority on finance. He •said: The interest on the great bulk of the outlay will be provided in a few years directly by the Grand Trunk, indirectly through settlement. I point out that if we succeed in opening up 300,000 square miles one single family per square league will pay for our outlay; and one person per square mile will pay us maDv times."

Critics think it smart to declare that the Governmeut does not pause the sun to shiue, the raid to fiell or the fruit to ripen, That is true, but we need not concern ourselves about what the Gev- erumeat does not do, The Governtneut leas established oold storage transportation from the farms in Canada to the British markets. making a complete chain front the refrigerator chambers in the creameries and the re- frigerator car service to the cold storage warehouses at the chief points of export and the mechanical oold storage chamb- ers on ocean-going steamships. This matter was neglected under Conserva- tive rule, although Australia, New Zea- land and the United States had similar services before 1896. The Government has secured the re- moval of the cattle quarantine of 90 days in the United States. This ember. go put Canadian cattle raisers at a seri- ous disadvantage, and its reepnoval, after negotiations by Mr. Fisher at Washing- ton, resulted in a large increase iu Cana- da's exports of cattle to the United States. The Government has adopted practical methods in the distribution of agricul- tural information, so ttyat every farmer can profit by the knowledge gained through costly experiments. The Government does not cause the fruit to ripen, but it protects the fruit from insect paste, gives information as to the best grades for various localities, provides for storage and transportation methods which insure the highest prices, opens markets for all lines of farm pro - delete, and relieved the farmer of un- necessary burdens of taxation. The farmers of Canada do not ask to be "coddled." They kuow that the main behtud the plough is the arbiter of his own fortunes. There are things that the individual, no matter how iu- dustrious or farseeing, cannot do for him- self, however, and the farmers recoguize that since 1896 those things have been better done than ever before. The condition of rural Canada was never more satisfactory. On every hand farm mortgages are being reduced or wiped off, better buildings are being erected, and modern conveniences pro- vided that make the lite of women ou the farm far more comfortable than iu the past. Why should not the farmers of Canada vote for the Laurier Goveru- ment? WHO SAYS CHANGE? From $9,365,384 exports of manu- factures in Conservative 1896, to $20,024,967 iu Liberal 1903. Who says change? From $14,083,361 exports of agricul- tural products in Conservative 1896, to $44,624,321 in Liberal 1903. Who `says change? From $50,591,002 exports of farm pro- ducts, including agricultural produce and animals and their produce, in Con- servative 1896, to $114,441,863 in Liberal 1903. Who says change? POLITICAL MATTERS. Oonservatives talking about govern- ment ownership and operation of rail- ways have a nice example of precept and practice before them iu the actions of their owu Governments. Not only did the Tory Goverument at Ottawa give to the C P.R. $35,000,000 worth of railways, built and paid for by the people of Can oda, iu additiou to $25 000,000 in cash and lands worthy fully sixty or seventy millions more, but the Tory Govern- ment of Manitoba, only three years ago, aoquired all the lines of the Northern Pacific and leased theta to Mackenzie & Maus for 999 years. Yet these same poli- ticians corupltuu of the length of the term of lease to be given the Grand Trunk Pacific of the eastern division - fifty years. People now alive will see the termination of the Grand Trunk lease -thirty generatious will scarcely see the end of the Manitoba lease. Pretty exponents they of railway owner- ship and operation 1 -Stratford Beacon. From 1879 to 1896 during Conservative rule, there was not a year without a de- ficit. The balances on the wrong side averaged $6,563,076 a year. In the eight- teeu years iu which the Conservatives reigued the deficiencies totalled $116,807,- 215. The Liberals have had in- creases to the public debt, amounting in the eight years to $14.111,290 but they had decreases ih the same time to the ex- tent of $15,196,000. So that the public debt is less thau when they took office, and they have put many millions into necessary public works. Speaking of the Hamilton meeting of Sir Wilfrid Lanrier the Hamilton Tithes says editorially: The Premier's friends were delighted to see hien iu such au improved state of health, and in sucltexcelleat spirits. He .-Doke with all his old-time force and eloqueuce, and his examination into the tariff question and his lucid exposition of the Grand Trunk Pacific bargain were marked by the utmost candor and confi- dence that the Government's course would meet with the hearty approval of the people of the country. And the meeting was enthusiastically with him. At the first general elections held in Canada in 1867, tate Conservative party had a majority of 22. In 1872 this ma- jority was reduced to 6. In 1874 the Liberal party had a majority of 90 stud this turned to a Conservative majority of 68 at the elections 01 1878. The Con- servative party won iu 1882 by a major- ity of 67, iu 1887 by 41 and '91 by 31. In 1896 the Liberals regained power with a majority of 27 and in 1900 this was in- creased to 54. Mr. Borden is hardly setting the heather afire these days iu Ontario. He makes a respectable appearauce ou the platform with decorously dull speeches. No doubt this is a case for the applica- tion of the principle of the motto dis- played in the western mining -town church: "Please do not shoot the organ- ist. He is doing the best he knows how." -Winnipeg Frees Press. Hamilton Times: Compare these growing times with the days when crowds besieged the City Hall awaiting a chance to beg for fuel or to get a ticket for charity work on the stone pile. Those gloomy times went out with Tory rale; we don't want them to return. Stand by Laurier and progress. During eight years of Liberal rule they carried on all the affairs of the Domnion and yet reduced the debt by over $1,- 000,000. Daring 18 years of Conservative rule $i8,000,000 was added to the public debt. From 5121,013,852 total exports from Canada in Conservative 1896, to $225,- 849,724 in Liberal 1903. Who says change? From $239,025,360 foreign 'trade of Canada in Conservative 1896, to 8467. 064,685 in Liberal 1903. Who , says change?

Who says change? From 1,888 homestead entries in the Northwest in Conservative 1896, to 31,- 333 in Liberal 1903. Who says change? From a deficit of $650,000 in the last year of Conservative rale to a surplus of $16,500.000 in Liberal 1903.4. Who says change? From a Premier whose entire official life has been a sacdess and of a nature to fit him for the high office he holds, to ono without experience. Who says change? From Sir Wilt rid Laurier, tried and true, with a united party behind hint, to one who has no fixed policy and whose disunited party would not be able to do anything. Whoittys change? There are thirty constitaenciee of Quebec Province in which the OolWrvit. tive party has not yet even brought otit candidates, This gives some evidence of th+s hopeless oonthtion in which the Opposition finds itself in that Province. Tbelsiberltbi have their men in the field in 'tory electoral district. Senator Choquette, of Quebec, says that those who accuse him of appealing to race prejudice are "Tory liars." The language is rough, but it aren't be mis- understood. Let all the Liberals of East Heron see that every vote favorable to Dr. Mac- donald and the Laurier Government, is polled on November 3rd. Farmers have exported more produce and got better prices for it during the eight years of Liberal rule than they ever did before. Should not the Government be eustaine ed under which Canada has prospered and developed as never before? Why take chances in changing the Government under which the oountryahas • been and is now so prosperous? -. The electors should show by their rotes that they appreciate the work done by the Laurier admiulstration. Up to date not one tangible reason has been given why the Laurier Government should not be retained. Do not retard the progress of the coun- try by swapping Governments. The time is short; whatever is to be done must be done at once. Laurier believes in Canada and Canada believes in Laurier. Again we say: -Lanrier, Macdonald and victory. Forward, Canada! Joy Succeeds Besaii1 IN THE HOME OF MR. JOSEPH HIL- TON, THOROID, ONT. Ills Daughter, Morellos, Was All nut Dead Font Dropsy -Her Doctor had Given !tor up -Dr, Williams' Pink kills Were Then Used and To -day She Is Weil anit Strong. Frum The Post, Thorold, Out. - Everybody believes iu a dreamy bort of way of the efoaoy of a well and wisely advertised medicine, when the re- corded cases of restored health are at a distance; but when a case comes up in your own town, when the ptttteut is kuowu to everyone, and when the oure is not only positive but marvellous, the efficacy of the medicine becomes a a fact -a decided thing. For many years the Post has advertised Dr. Wil- liams' Piuk Pills for Pale People; large quantities of therm have been sold by the local drug stores, and many remarkable cures have been effected. One of these attracted the attention of our• reporter and he investigated. Miss Floreuce Hilton, the eighteen year old daughter of Joseph and Mrd. Hilton, living iu the west parr of the town, was taken ill early last summer with dropsy, coupled with heart trouble, She was compelled to give up oue duty after auo- ther and finally became unable to walk or to, lie down. Her sufferiug was in- tense and medicine and medical skill did all that could be done. Florence, how- ever, grew worse, sitting iu her chair day and uight for five long months, and the pareuts despaired. At last the doc- tor gave her up and said further visits were futile. The poor girl's limbs were pitifully swollen and finally burst below the knees. She sat helpless and weak, gasping for,breath and at• times could breath at all only with the groutest diffi- culty. Otto night the neighbors carne iu and said she could not live till morning. lent to -day she is alive and well, ntoviug about among her young companions a remarkable and miraculous contrast to what she then was. The reporter called one evening at the Hilton home, but Miss Floreuce was out visiting. The fa- ther and mother were'iu, however, and freely told him of the cure, which they attribute entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills The first box was brought to her by her grandmother, who nrged their use. '(hen Mrs. Hilton herself remembered she had the previous winter been cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills of a slight attack of dropsy, and also remembered the many cures advertised iu the Post. She bought two boxes and Florence took them three pills at a dose. In two weeks she felt a slight decrease• in the pain in her limbs, and more pills were procured. For five montbs-five long pain -laden months -the weary girl had sat day and night in her chair, butnow she begau to feel the pain leaving her and to see her limbs resume their natural size. Fourteen boxes of the pills were taken and at last her perseverance was reward- ed. She rose from her chair; her tormer strength gradually came back; one by oue her household duties Were taken up again, and when The Post 4iepresentative called he was met by beaming faces and thaukful hearts and a grateful readiness to gtve to the world the facts that had saved a bright young life and had brought joy instead of sorrow to a Thor- old home." In thousands of other homes, scattered over the length and breadth of Canada, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have brought health and' joy and gladness and in every home in the land where sickness and suf- fering enters, new health and strength can be had through a fair use of this medicine. Remember that substitues can't cure -they make the patient worse, and when you ask for this medicine see that the full name "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People" is printed on the wrapper around the box -then you are sure you have the genuine pills.

In the last issue of Events, the Nation- al Weekly published at Ottawa, th e fol lowing comment appears "If there ever was a corrupt election it was in the opinion of men the bye - election in North Renfrew. It was so bad that the parties were tearful lest the petition should be tried and the evidence come out. Mr. Dunlop, the Conijerva- tive who won the seat, has therefore re- signed. Bat the good nt}ine of Ontario should not suffer because of four or five cornet elections out of nearly a hand - red, and especially when in these four or five the illegal acts were admittedly con- fined to a few.

"If we don't have at least five per- sons every day conte in here to give notice of their lost bank book we think it unusual," said a cushier of one of the city banks' recently. "As soon as a book is reported lost tt Check is made against it in the bank, and the loser is requested to advertise the loss. For from a fortnight to thirty days ensuing no money can be with- drawn on that account, unless the book shall be found, If not found the de- positor must apply for a new book. Generally an affidavit must first be made that the loser cannot find the book and that it has not bean trans- ferred or assigned. "All this is scarcely necessary, but it makes a bunk absolutely sate iu re- spect to that deposit, and it puts tate depositor to enough trouble to make hits or her careful thereafter. Every- thing baying been performed as out- lined, the depositor may get a • net boort, which means opening a new ac- count, as accounts are never duplicated. "In my experience of many years I do not recall a case where finders have, presented books in hopes of withdraw- ing motley. It would be almost lin- possible for a person not the owner of the book to withdraw a cent on the account. At the time of the original deposit the depositor, before getting a book, has to answer certain questions which are framed to fix the depositor's identity and to protect the depositor. The depositor must also leave an auto- graph on the bank register. Whenever money is withdrawn these questions must be answered and the autograph attached to an order. This is an ef- fectual test. Each book is numbered and bears the depositor's name. "We have been asked 1f depositors would not be better protected if banks omitted the name from the book and simply numbered it. We can see no advantage in that. The plan would not defeat the purposes of a thief, for one who would steal a bank book would know the name of the owner, and the withdrawal of deposits is so well guarded that even with the owner's name a finder could not get money from the bank. "There are probably from 1,200 to 1400 books lost every year, of vahich 400 to 500 eventually turn up. 'That means from one-third to two-fifths of 1 per cent of the whole number of books out disappear, and one-third of that number get back to the owners. Where the rest go is a puzzle not to be solved." Alyea of Stone and of Bronze.

They show also the bronze fishhook, barbed and In exact similitude of our present device. The ornamental hatpin as now used, together with other articles of utility and ornamentation, is plentiful. The stone mold for casting the copper or bronze hatchet is of exceedingly ancient date, but probably the use of sand was far more common, and hence we have fewer traces of that method. Lord Macaulay on Sunday Reat. Speaking on "the ten hours bill," Lord Macaulay said: "We are not poor- er, but richer, because we have through many ages rested from our labor one day in seven. That day is not Lost. While industry is suspended, while the plow lies in the furrow, while the ex- change is silent, while no smoke as- cends from the factory, a process is going on quite as important to the wealth of nations as any process which is performed ou more busy days. Man, the machine of machines -the machine compared with which all the contriv- ances of the Watts and Arkwrighti are worthless -is repairing and wind- ing up, so that he returns to his la- bors on the Monday with clearer intel- lect, with livelier spirits, with renewed corporal vigor." epaulet), Lovemaking'.
