THE FACTS ABOUT IMPERIAL
UNION.
A: 'Tory campaign document says: -
We have to thank Sir as7ilfrid Laurier
that Canadian produots are not now
recasting prefereuttad treatuteut in the
British tuarket," and it goes ou to
charge ,that air Wtltrid refused pre-
orontlal treatment of Oauadiau pro -
duets wham offered by Dar. Chamberlain
-a fiction so preposterous that cue
wonders at any writer giviug it publi-
city. Mr. Chamberlain is nut Premier
of the United. Ktugdom, and has never
been in a pbsitiuu to offer Canada pre-
ferential treatment, ivasnuuch as he has
not yet succeeded iu uouviuowg the Bri.
tisk democracy that a return to the pre-
preferetttial policy which existed be-
twoeu tue Mother E./unary uud her
Cutuuies demi to 1o4O, would be benetl•
cial to the lirttish cuusutuer. A British
parliauteutari return (Cd. 1761) issued
in 1903, puts the matter iu a uuteh.11
frost* hie 1,uiut of view. The wipers.
into the Brutish Ielauds of fuudstutt,,, in.
eluding wueat eau flour, bailey, oats,
Iudlau cern, nue, meats, (tueludiug
animal's for fuuu), fish, butter, eheeae,
eggs, fruit, sebetables, sugar. tea,
oouua and euuculate and coudeuoed utiik,
amounted id. 19i2 to £19L,00O,000. '01
these the values supplied by foreigu
Ysouutries and by British Colonies were
ab luiluwb:-
By Foreigu Countries .... £ 152,000,000
By lirivau Cuiu.nes..... .... 39,300,330
Total ...... £191,000,000
Id. other words, foreign countries sup-
plied 79 per cent. of these articles, and
British Colonies 21. India supplied most
!tf the rice and tea, and Canada most of
the cheese. Save iu these hues, fureigu
countries entirely outstripped the Colon-
ies. Taming next to the principal raw
materiels, cotton, wool,flax, hemp, wood
and timber, jute, oils, petroleum, rub-
ber, iron ore, copper ore, tin, dye stuffs,
paper•makiug materials, numaunfao-
tnred tobacco and hides, the aggregate
imports of the United Kingdom in 1902
were £149,000,000, supplied as follows: -
By Foreign Countries £107,000,000
By British Colonies 42,000,000
Total £149,000,000
That is 72 per cent. came from foreign
countries and 28 per cent. front the Colon-
ies. The question before the British people
is whether, in the light of these figures, it
would pay them to give preferential
treatment to Colonial products and dis-
criminate against those bought from the
foreigner conditionally n p o u
their obtaining preferential
tial ,treatment for British manufactures
in the limited markets of the Colonies -
So far as their opinion can be gathered
from bye -elections that have . been held
of late, they are entirely opposed to the
project; in fact, Mr. Balfour, who at first
seemed to favor Mr. Chamberlain's
scheme, has practically thrown it over-
board.
But Sir Wilfrid Laurier has had no-
thing to do, good, bad or indifferent, with
this result. He said front the beginning
that he would be glad to consider a prop-
osition from the Imperial Government
on the subject, but none has come, and
from what has occurred at the polls, none
is likely to come in our day. It is safe
to add, however, that if Mr. Balfour and
Mr. Chamberlain had succeeded in con•
vertiug the British people, and had sub-
mitted .a proposal to Sir Wilfrid, the
Tories would have been the first to shout
that Cauadien manufactures must not on
any account be exposed to British com-
petition.. Both parties would be glad to
obtain preferential treatment for Cana-
dian exports in the British market, but

POLITICAL MATTERS.
Vote for Dn Maedonald..
The'Tory railway polioy-What is it?
Let every Liberal in East Huron be
up and doiug.
The Laurier Government is for Larger
Canada and Progress.
Vote for Dr. Macdonald and four
years more of Larger Canada.
The three Hurons will elect support -
ors of the Laurier Government,
This is no time for a change; times.
are too good for swapping purposes.
Hon. J. I. Tarte has retired from poli-
tics and will hereafter devote his whole
time to journalism.
A vote for Dr. Macdonald on the 3rd
of November will be a vote for progress
and contained prosperity.
A prominent political prophet in To-
ronto predicts that the Liberals will have
six of a majority id. Outario.
Contrast the Canada of 1904 with the
Canada of 1896, and who can deny that
the N. P. stood for No Progress.
The Liberals of East Huron should
not be over coufldent. See that every
vote is palled on November 3rd.
A section of the Tory press attacks Sir
Wilfrid Laurier as a French-Canadian
b+cause that's all it can say against
The continuation of the Provincial
election trial in North Grey has been
postponed a week, from Oct. 31st to
November 7th.
The using of the 1903 voters' lists
will be as munh a hardship on the Liber-
als as on' the Conservatives. Why so
much talk of using old voters' lists
when both parties are equally affected?
The electors of East. Huron do not
wish to return to the hard times prior to
1896. A vote for Dr. Macdonald will
assist in giving the Laurier Government
four years more in office and another
four years of prosperity.
All Liberals and Conservatives who
attended the Laurier meeting at Luck -
now ou Monday, paid the usual fare. It
was not a free ride, paid for by the Gov-
ernment, as was currently reported on
the streets of Wingham.
Why should a vote for 13r. Chisholm
be a blow at the Ross Government?
We are not now conducting an Ontario
campaign. A vote for Dr. Macdonald is
a vote for the Laurier Government,
against which there is not a blemish.
The building of the Grand Trunk
Pacific will open wide the gates of op-
portunity to every young man in the
country. It will mean countless new
openings in business for those with suffi-
cient enterprise to take advantage of
them.
Mr. Osler, ex-M.P. (Conservative)
says there is room for six railways in the
Canadian West, and Mr. Borden, the
Opposition Leader declared last year that
another transcontinental railway was
unnecessary. East Huron electors
should not send a supporter of Mr. Bor-
den to Ottawa..
The Conservatives of East Huronhave
not as yet, as far as we have been able
to learn, announced a series of public
meetings. Daring the elections of 1896
and 1900, Dr. Macdonald and Mr Dick-
inson held joint meetings, but the Con-
servatives will not agree to this order of
things for this election. -
Talking about scandals, some of us re-
member the Langevin-Mctreevey affair,
the Curran bridge scandal, the Tay Can-
al, etc., to say nothing of the great Paci-
fic scandal. It was of this state of affairs
that the London Times said: "Here in
the mother country there can be only
one feeling, that of deep regret for the
wrong done to the fair fame of the old-
est of her daughters."
"A transcontinental railway is un-
necessary." - Conservative Campaign
Poster, 1903.
"We will immediately undertake the
construction of a transcontinental rail-
way." -Mr. R. L Borden, Oct. 10, 1904.
"I did not propose the immediate con-
struction of a transcontinental high-
way." -Mr. R. L. Borden, page 12,62$,
Hansard, 1903.
Dr. Macdonald commenced his series
of campaign meetings at Blyth on Tues-
day evening and will hold meetings
every evening from now until polling
day. His list of meetings will be found
in our advertising columns. Dr. Mae-
donald has visited all Ilectione of the
tiding and has met with hearty redep-
tions. There is not the least doubt of
his election on November 3rd if the Lib
eras are tip and doing,
It is said that the main argunients of
those opposed to Dr. Staodonald is that
he hue been there long coolish, and
should Wire step crit and make way for
another. It is at once a tribune to the
ability tend integrity of the d�exter teat

de wit all tho ie who hove motored to

Parliament speaks for itself, Just why
the people of East Huron should wish to
exchange a representative of the stamp
of Dr. Macdonald is not made clear.
"I authorize the annonncement that
I have resigned my position as Chairman
of the Railway Commission, and have
notified the • Premier that beyond
reaffirming my strong objection to the
Grand. Truuk Pacific scheme, I have no
present Intention of re-entering public.
life." In these words, wired Tuesday
to Mr E W, McCready of The St. John
Telegragh, Mr Blair made it plain that
his resignation of the Chairmanship of
the Railway Commission is not a pre-
liminary step to his return to the Com.
mous.
When speaking in Wingham at Mr.
Borden's meeting, Dr. Sproule alluded
to the wealth accumulated by Hou, Jae.
Sutherland and Hon. Clifford Siftoa
since they had attained Cabinet positions
He of course left it to the electors to con-
clude where the money came from.
These are very unfair tactics on the part
of Dr. Sproule, and might tend to mis-
lead some who are not acquainted with
the circumstances of these men. The
doctor knew perfectly well where the
money came from. Messrs. Sutherland
and Sifton have been very successful in
their business and speculations, and
made their money honestly, as have
many Canadians under the good times
since 1836. The Cabinet Ministers have
as mach right to make money as private
citizens. The whole business is "petty
politics" ou the part of Dr. Sproule.
In a Few Words.
The last eight years nudor Liberal
rale have been marked by unprecedent-
ed progress and prosperity.
Never were the farmers so well to
do, so happy and so comfortable.
'.Never were manufacturers so busy.
Never were workingmen so much in
demand.
Never did they get better wages.
Never did Canada bulk so largely in
the eyes of the world,
Greater progress all round has been
made in the past eight years than during
the previons eighteen years.
Vote for Laurier and Macdonald.

Toronto, Oct. 18 -The run at the city
cattle market to -day was a light one,
and trade was quiet. The slowness of
the butcher trade was attributed in part
to the warm spell of weati,d : Local
butchers, it was said, are pretty well
supplied, considering the demand, for
butchers' meat, which, for some reason
or other, has not been at all active the
past week. There were some very fair
loads of butcher cattle in the market to-
day, and these sold at good prices, the
top figures being $4.80 to $4.40 for a few
extra choice. The average ran of good
butchers was $3.80 to $4 for good butcher
heifers and steers and common down to
$2.50 and $3.
Export -There was practically nothing
doing in the export trade, only a few
export bulls on sale.
Feeders -The feeding cattle business is
quieter this week, some of the buyers
being about filled up. The trade is not
yet oyer by any means, as there are
still several shippers who have not yet
actually begun to get in their usual
stock of feeders. Good feeders are
steady at last week's prices, but there
were not many choice in the market to-
day. Some fairly good sold at $3.60.
Common stock are not much wanted.
Stockers -The good, stockers are in
steady demand, but the common are still
a drag in the market.
Sheep and lambs -With the light run
the market was steady. All sold and
prospects are steady.
Milk cows -There is a good demand for
good milkers.
Hogs -The market Ie.weeker and,.prosa.
pent,°are for lower prices. The best to-
day were quoted by Harris at $5.15
down to $4,90 for fats.
The day's run was 65 loads, with 705
head of cattle, 1,855 sheep and lambs,
1,300 hogs and 74 calves.
