During the past seven years Canada has sold abroad $470,000,000 worth more goods and products than during the pre- ceediug seven years. In another column we give the figures for the last Dominion election in East Hurou. Subscribers o in clip the figures and keep the,u for reference on Novem- ber 3ra, At the Dominion elections in 1896, the total vote polled was 1585,600 and in 1900 this was increased to 952,496. The vote polled ou Nov. 3rd will in all proba- bility reach tbe wilhon mark. "We think that we hove the right, in Tethe presence of such a record es that Ni.which I have iu part sketched here to• sttnight, to ask for the contained support atof all the Ltberals and of the independ- ment Conservatives of the country. We Lt have a right to ask for support from iu ot dependent Conservatives, because we feel that the record must command their ea. approval, and we are aware that the at - i,,, titude of the present Conservative leaders ly, on some very grave gneetious is exciting al the anxiety and rilarm of n'auy of the very best men who have hitherto acted fe with the Couservetive party. "We do not claim that the record of else Goveruuieut has been one. of abso- is w lute,perfectiou; that is hardly to be B hoped ;or; bat we do claim that, speak a ing of its record generally, it has beeu enlightened, progressive, industrious and feithinl adiuiuistratiou. Upon that • record we ask the verdict of the country. Pt "We have given the country under the administratiou of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, u eight years of blessed peace, brought ' foti@ut by his sunny ways—aud do not rget that there was uot always peace; eight years of splendid development of t Canada, of advancement of the Domi- nion in the eyes of the people of the d mother country, and of the world at a large; eight years of peace; eight years fl of splendid progress; eight years of grand prosperity."—Hon. W. S. Field- fc tug in Toronto, ou July llth, 1904. tl 6 r t f i t et ABOLIS .ED THE QUARANTINE. A week from to -day the people of Can- ada will he called upou to oast their bal- lot for members of a new Parliament, and choose between the parties—their records and their policies. Dr. Macdonald stauds for the Goverument which has been in power for the past eight years and has a policy whioh promises to do as muoh for the oouutry for eight years to come as it has done in the past. In hale under the Coneervative regime every $100 worth of goods imported iu Canada was charged au average cus- toms duty of $18.28. In 1903, wader the Liberals, every $100 worth is charged only $15 88, this is equivalent to a re- duction iu the average customs duties of 13 per Dent. Had the Conservative tariff beeu in force last year, the people of Canada world have had to pep on their imports for the year five millions of dol- lars more than they actually paid. It is an undeniable fact that the ad- ministration of public business in the Dominion for the last eight years has been upon the whole, able and progres- sive, and has borne good fruit in abun- dance. It cannot be denied that the country has been prosperons'duriug the perioo than it ever was before—that its industrial, as well as its agricultural and commercial progress and expausion have been unparalleled in our history; that while national expenditure has enor- mously increased, the national revenue has increased at a still greater rate, and the national debt has been actually re- duced; that never before was the post- offiee department so efficiently adminis- tered and so much energy and foresight shown iu the adtninistration of the immi- gration department. These are matters et fact, uot merely of opinion,—Hamil- ton Herald, (Ind ) Hou. Dr. Montague has declined the Conservative nomination iu London and it has been tendered to Wm. Gray. Hon. Chas. Hyman should have au easy win iu London. Greater progress all round bus been made in Canada in the past eight years than during the previous eighteen years. If you want these conditions to coutluae, vote for Dr. Macdonald. The meeting, we would say, was high- ly successful and must have beeu a source of satisfaction to those who ar- ranged for it.—Teeswater News ou the Laurier meetiug iu Wiugh.tm. Uuder the Liberal rule Canada has made more progress in seven years thou she did in eighteeu preceeding years under Conservative Government. Vote to continue the Laurier Government in power. The nomination for East Huron will be held at Brussels to -day (Thursday) from 12 until 2 o'clock. A public meet- ing will be held at the close of the meet- ing, and likely the two candidates will address the electors. The quarantine of ninety days upon all cattle eutering the United States from' Canada before 1897 practically prohibited any export to that country. The Tories had deplored this, bat said that nothing could be done. Hon Sidney Fisher, the Minister of Agriculture, took a trip to Washington. and in a week swept away this quaran- tine obstruction. The immediate result watt an increase in the export of Canadian cattle to the United States. In the fiscal year ending Jane 30th, 1896, we exported to them 1,645 bead, valued at 198,870. For the next six months, to Dec. 31st, the export was 577 head, at $9,617. The abolition of the quarantiue took effect one mouth afterwards, on February let. For the six months ending June 30th, 1867, after the abolition had been effec- tive for five months, we exported 35,421 head, valued at .$499,421. The fiscal year, ended 30th June, 1898, our export was 37,805 head, valued at $1,239,448, the price in the latter year being $14 per head against $5.39 in 1896, an increase price of $8 51 per head. The exports, during the seven years previous to the abolition, 1890-1896, amounted to $195,. 814; during the following seven years ending June 30th, 1903, they totalled $6,419,885. In the distribution of agricultural knowledge, the first steps were taken and the foundations laid on which, in the last four years immense strides have been made. ars Take cold easily?

B., which had stood by the party for many years, has come out opeuly in support of Mr. W. S. Loggie, the Liberal candidate in that constitu- ency. The yarn is going the rounds that the Laurier Government sold a timber limit to a gentleman and then built a wharf for the convenience of the purchaser of the timber limit. The Laurier Govern- ment does not sell timber limits and the story is therefore false. "Tbere is scarcely a side -road in rural Outario that in these days of adversity is not the scene of a tragedy whioh reaches its climax in the triumph of the mort- gage over tome family which has beeu trying to keep the old farm. There is mauy a sore heart in the beet townships of Ontario." It was in these words that The Evening Telegram of , Toronto de- scribed the situation that prevailed in tbe rural districts of this Province in February, 1896. For months prior to that the Ministers who formed the Con- servative Government had been quarrel- ling among themselves, instead of hon- estly and unitedly endeavoring to grap- ple with the national problems that faced them, and only a few weeks earlier this Cabinet discord had culminated in the treacherous desertion of Sir Mackenzie Bowel' by Hon. Geo. E. Foster and six of his colleagues. Contrast the condi- -tions then and now. Under the guid- ance of an Administration that has ser- iously and energetically fostered devel• opment, the farmers of Ontario are en- joying unheard-of prosperity. The Conservatives have held very few public meetings iu East Huron, depend- ing mainly on the quiet canvas. Liberals and friends of Dr. Macdonald should bo on their guard and see that all the votes are polled on Thursday next. Many elections have been lost through over confidence. In seven years the Conservatives pre- vious to 1897, spent $37,000,000 on capi- tal acoorut, and of this $21,000,000 were provided by additions to the public debt. In seven years the Liberals have spent $65,000,000 on capital acoouut, and not a dollar of it was raised by adding to the public debt. Instead of that, the nation- al debt has been reduced to the extent of $4.65 per head. In some parts of East Harou we believe the story is going the rounds that Dr. Maddonald refused to hold joint meetings. This is a falsehood. Dr. Macdonald twice proposed joint meet- ings but his invitations were declined by the Conservatives. The Dr. has held several meetings in the riding and at all an invitation to speak has bran ex- tended to the Opposition candidate or his friends , but up to the present we believe that Dr. Macdonald has had no opposition on the platform. The State will have full and complete control of freight rates on the Grand Trunk Pacific, a fact which critics of the agreement do their best to conceal from the inquiring public. Owing to the large powers given, the C. P. R. on its main line cannot be brought under con• trol of the Railway Commission, The G. T. R. on the other hand, is by con- tract brought under control of the Com- mission as it now stands or as its powers may be enlarged in the future. Section 30 of the contract gives the State full control of rates. There is no doabt about it. The contract could not possibly have been trade clearer than it is on this point. Daring the month of September there were 2,020 homestead entries in Mani- toba, the North-West Territories, and British Columbia. The new land thus taken up last month amounted to 323,200 acres. That is the way the West is now filling in with people and the grain - growing area increasing. These figures do not include those who entered the West and bought lands previously home- steaded.

Lave Stock Markets. Toronto, Oct. 25.—There was not a very heavy ran at the city cattle market to -day and trading was only just fair, with a bit of a drag to it. The chief transactions were in butcher cattle, for which there is a fair demand, especially for good cattle, There were not too many good ones offering, and, in fact, more butcher cattle of the right sort would have found a ready market. Prices, howeverr, were not high, consid- ering at what the same cattle would have fetched a few weeks ago, when $4,50 to $4.60 was paid for. good butcher heifers. Some of the choicest butcher heifers in the market to -day were sold at $4.30 to $4.35. The heavy receipts of rough and poor quality of late have had the effect of pulling the market down a little. This rough stuff is gradually be- ing cleared off, as to•day's lighter re- ceipts showed. The effect will probably be better markets in the near future. There were a lot of rough butcher cattle sold today at prices ranging from $1.65 for common canners to $3 for medium and ap to $3.75 for fair.
