A man who can taste several hundredcups of tea a day, and, by his keen senses, detect the slightest difference between them, and who, blindfolded, can tell where each and every Jea was grown, not only the country, but the particular district, and often the very plantation —such a man is the professional tea taster. The head man in my tea room, Mr. W. R. Miles, is a master in his profession. He learned the business in London, Eng., and is a tea taster by right of birth, as both his Father and Grandfather were tea tasters. It came natural to him and he is recognized as one of the best judges of tea in America. He and his assistants do nothing but taste the teas, and. superintend the blendilig.

Mr. Ross said he would scorn to be leader of a Government that could not keep up with the energy and public spirit that prevail in this country. "The Liberal party, so far .as 1 am concerned," he added, "and Ago far as the men following me are concerned, is resolved that whatever • stay be done by enterprise, public spirit, the judicious invcstn.ent of .mangy given us, will be done, so that Ontario will hold the first place in the procession of the Provinces of this Dominion. (Cheers ) ;ir John Irlacdonald was wiser than some of us thought when he proposed a new era for Canada. We are now the pro- gressive party, as his was then, and behold, slowly coining around the foot of the hill we see Whitney with lus little hand of footsore followers trying to catch up with the great Liberal party by stealing all that we possess." (Cheers.) Have nothing to do with them; they are not re- quired; they have not shown their rapacity for governing yet. They have been in the wilderness for a good many years. They have not ful- filled the term of their punishment yet --(A voice—Four years more)— before they cross into the promised 'laud. Let thein remain until the last boor, and we shall see on every great question the Province of On- tario shall lead the way.—Premier ltoss at Napanee. THE FRIEND OF LABOR Is Re Who Brings to the Worker the Op- portanity to Work. Sometimes there is a surplus of labor in one town and a deficiency lip others. ,What could greatly relieve ie gifuculty and greatly contribute the easy running of the labor arket would be the establishment ilpQine •central labor bureau, where a etics can be kept of the number Wlorkingmen in any town and the iOpor for whom there is emplciy- a, s0 . that whin, sty, _ten sen Treated by Three Doctors for a Severe Attack of Dyspepsia, Got No Relief From Medicines, But Found It At Last In Burdock Blood Bitters. Mrs. Frank Hutt, Morrisburg, Ont., was one of those troubled with this most common of, stomach •troubles. She writes :—" After being treated by three doctors, and using many advertised medicines, 'for a severe attack of Dyspepsia, 4d receiving no benefit, I gave all hope of ever being cured. 'Rearing Burdock Blood Bitters so highly spoken of, I decided to get 41 bottle, and give it a trial. Before 1 bad taken it I began to feel better, find by the time I had taken the second one 1 was completely cured. I cannot recommend Bur- 4ock Blood Bitters too highly, and :fiould sufferers advise v alle from ,dyspepsia to give it a trial." Iw are needed iift any particular trade employers may write to the central bureau and learn where they may get them. Such a bureau would help to facilitate the steady employment of neon, would improve the relations be- tween capital and labor, and such a bureau, Mr. Ross said, he would be glad to see established under the control of the workingmen then - solves. (Applause.) The Government did not want to interfere between capital and labor in any form as a Government, but night contribute a small sum towards the maintenance of such a bureau and `let the work- ingmen manage it for themselves. Increased Products of the Farm. "My hon. friend Mr. Dryden; the second in succession in the Depart- nient of Agriculture, has grappled with the great problem of finding out the value of soil and atmosphere in regard to their effect on the products of the farm. What do our opponents say in regard to his success now? Commendations on every hand from those who once voted against him. Is it a small thing—I am dealing to- night with stern realities—is it a small tiring that a Government in this Province can so direct the ener- gies of the farmer as to increase threefold, fivefold, yes, twentyfold in some cases, the products of the farm;, to advance among the farmers a great desire to perfect this, one of the noblest of Canadian callings; to brighten their own houses, and to bring to the markets of the world of their products that which will stand the severest test, until to -day in England we stand second in• the mat- ter of cheese and third in the matter of butter, while at St. Louis our horses, cattle and sheep carried off high honors? (Applause.) It is only the other day, too, that I read that our fruit growers had carried off ono of the first prizes at the Pforticul- tural Exhibition at London, Eng- land. Everywhere there is evidence that this work is not superficial; everywhere there is evidence in the improvements of the farms, in the , larger bank accounts, in competition with other people, that the work of the Department of Agrieulture is honestly and efficiently done, and that it has brought to this country extraordinary rewards."— Premier Rosa in Toronto. The Fieisaces Were Safe. Mr. Whitney, Hon. G. W. Ross said, at the Temple banquet in To- ronto, wanted an audit of the finan- ces. The Province of Ontario had an auditor with the same powers as Mr. Lorne Macdougall at Ottawa, and he thought the finances were safe in his fiends. There was also a Public Ac- counts Committee on which pwenty- four Conservatives sat every session. Still Mr. Whitney did not think the public accounts were well enough known to the people, and proposed putting, them in the churches and schools. If his (the speaker's) pas- tor, Rev. Dr. Milligan, were to open a copy of the public accounts in church on Sunday and proceed to preach a sermon from it, he thought he would have to Ibo excused, go home and read Milton's "Paradise Lost" or "Paradise Regained." "The very childishness of these proposals," said Mr. Ross, "shows the extremities to which they are driven. They have no larger scheme to appeal to the imagination, noth- ing to do anybody substantial good. X do not claim to be equal in capa- city to those of my predecessors who gave you much of that legislation. We have done a little good in the last five years. But I have given you the record of the Liberal party and it is our ambition to keep that high level during the term of our admin- istration." (Applause.) A E.a*edy.

CHAOS AND RECONSTRUCTION Where Paternalism Was Desir- able and Proved a Profit- able Investment. THE TRUE STORY OF THE S00 In 1895 the first concession was made to Mr. F. H. Clorgue for the establishment of Pulo Works at the Sault. Out of this, involving ori- ginally an investment of about $1,- 000,000, there grew the following in- dustries: Chloride Pulp Works, Nickel Reduc- tion Works, Car Shops, Veneering Mills, Steel Plant, The Algoma Cen- tral Railway. These industries 'involved the ex- penditure of about $33,000,000. The financial stringency in the United States in 1902-3 so crippled the in- dustries that they had to suspend operations, and as a consequence about 5,000 mon were thrown out of employment. Iw October an appeal was made to the Government to advance the wages duo the employees, as winter was ap- proaching and their families were de- pendent upon their daily earnings. In fact, a riot was threatened unless some relief were afforded. The Gov- ernment met this condition of things i ray an arrangement with the Banks I whereby the sum of $260,000 was • paid as the arrears of wages to em- ployees of the different Companies concerned. The Government was protected in this advance by the land (grant promise& the Railway, inasmuch as no part of the land grant had been transferred. The ad- vance made to the Banks was, there- fore, a lien on the property of the Company. Already nearly ono -half of this advance has been repaid and the Government holds the guarantee of the Company that the remainder will be paid on or before the 1st of February next. REVIVAL OF THE INDUSTRIES. —The payment 'of the wages, al- though affording a measure of relief, still left the Company under a mort- gage of $4,500,000 to Speyer & Company, of New York, and as the (mortgage was overdue, Speyer & Company declared their intention to foreclose and soil the property at public auction. From' such sale cer- tain consequences disastrous to the industries might follow. (1) The Company, besides the Speyer mort- I gage, owod different creditors $1,- 800,000; 1;800,000; of this sum $1,200,000was owing to Canadian creditors. If the mortgage were foreclosed all these creditors would be shut out and many of them could ill -afford the loss. (2) It was generally believed that if the property were transferred the Algoma Central Railway, which tho Province had subsidized with a grant' of 7,400 acres of land per mile would not be completed, and as the railway traversed valuable min- eral, agricultural and timber dis- tricts, its extension to the Canadian Pacific was considered of great im- portance. The permanent failure of the Sault industries also involved the failure of the railway. This was undesirable. (3) It was well under- stood that if the Speyer mortgage were foreclosed, the United Steel Trusts that were the expected puri chasers, and that had an option on the Works, would not operate the steel plant. This Trust, which con- trolled all the Steel industries of the United States, was anxious to pre- vent the manufacture of steel rails in Canada. By getting possession of the plant at the Sault, in which about $7,000,000 were invested, they would hold the Canadian market for their American industries. The ef- fect of this would be to prevent the development of the iron mines on the Eastern shore of Lake Superior and to crush one of the greatest indus- tries ever launched in Canada. In this crisis an effort was matte to re -organize the Company on a new basis, and the Government was as- sured that if the bonds of the new Company were endorsed to the extend of two millions of dollars a re- organization could bo effected. After the most careful consideration of the responsibility involved and tile ad- vantages to the Province from the reesetablishtnont of these industries, the Government agreed to endorse the bonds, as already stated to the extent of two millions of money, on the condition that the railroad should be completed. The securities of the Government for this endorse- ment wore: (a) the land grant al- ready earned amounting to at least 600,000 acres, pstitnated by Mr. i Whitney in 1901 at $S an acre; (b) 100 miles of railroad already coni- i pleted; (c) a subsidy of $240,000 earned from the Dominion Govern- a ment, but not paid over; ((l) a first t mortgage on all the property of the Company, the first cost of which e was $30,000,000, With such ample security, the Government had no hesitation to pledge the credit of the , t Province for the sum of two mil- ' o lions of dollars for a period of two ! years, and the results have amply t t justified its eonlidenee in the tinder- ll taking, as the following facts show:— i fi (1.) The Steel Plant is producing 500 tons of stool rails per day, which, at $28 per ton, earns $14,- 000 pot' day. III b ( ,) The Pulp Drills produce 100 tons of pully per day, which, at $16 a ton, earn $1,500 per day. (a.) The Helen Mine is producing 1,.000 tons of iron ore per day at $3.25 per ton, earning $3,250 per day, The earning power of the other in- dustries cannot be so accurately es- timated, but may be pet at $200 por day. On the 1sfr November there were employed in these various industries 3,958 mon, The pay roll for the month of October was $130,049,49. Mr, Whitney. in an address at Mr, Borden's meeting in the Massey Hall, October 4th, 1904, said that the $2,000,000 given in aid of the Sault industries might as well have been thrown into Lake Superior, This is Mr. Whitney's idea of the duty of a Government in a groat crisis. 32 YEARS IN THE SADDLE. At the Read of the Precession A11 the Tule and Still Leading. One of the Toronto papers, Mr. Ross went on, printed regularly a cartoon of a war horse that had been 32 years in tho saddle. Well, suppose he has. He is as good a war horse' now as when the saddle was first put on hien. (Laughter.) It i is a horse that has never lost a Derby race yet. It has always been a winner. (Applause and laughter.) Now and again in a side steeplechase or hurdle race or something of that kind it may sometimes have had a turiil1e, but itt the great races of the season the war horse has always won, and it is going to win this time. (Loud applause and cries of "You bet.") But the other horse has been in the saddle 32 years also. Tho Opposition horse has been on the race course for 32 years and has never won a race yet. (Laughter.) X do not know that he is likely to for some time. He has had many jock- eys. (Renewed laughter.) There was Sir Matthew Crooks Cameron for two years and he lost. Sir William Ralph Meredith, an estimable man, • ran him for twenty years and gave up the job to take one on the Bench, which he adorns. Then Mr. Marter ran him for a year and a half. There j was too much prohibition in that horse, or something—(laughter—and he was retired. He did not retire; ho was retired, and for the last seven years my esteemed friend Mr. Whit- ney has been running that horse without any better success. He camp within two or three points of win- i ning last time, but it was so near and yet so far—(applause and laugh- ter)—and he has now called to his assistance in the grooming of that horse a list of men such as Mr. Gainey. (Cries of "Oh," and groans.) In fact, he has a lot of grooms, and the other day he called a conference to see if there was any chance for this 32 -year-old animal to win, and they came to the conclusion that the horse might win. They have always been saying that. They have lost money on that every time. (Long continued laughter and applause.)— Premier Ross at Napaneo. { KIDNEY DISEASE.

Look At the Two Pictures. "I have now shown by way of pre- face what we haves done, arsxl only very partially. Now, let us look at the attitude of our opponents. It is well to look uuon this picture and then on that. We are entering now on our ninth campaign as a Govern- ment, and our opponents are enter- ing their ninth campaign, too. They have carried on the war against us almost as long as the war of the Spanish Succession and almost as useless a war. (dear, hear.) Now, do you suppose that the people of On- tario are such idiots that if our op- ponents in this ninth campaign had sontothing better to present to them than we had that they would not have taken them up long ago? They had an opportunity. Sir Matthew Crooks Cameron was their first lead- er, and he deserted the atrnty that he led.'iir Wm. Meredith was their sec- ond leader. He went through four or five campaigns with thorn, and he abandoned the contest. Mr, Marter followed for a short time. He was not satisfactory to his party, for they retired hien almost forcibly, and Mr. Whitney has been at it now for about six or seven years. So near and yet so far. (Laughter.) Now, that is a simple proposition. If our 1 opponents wore unable in all those eight campaigns under such Ieaders as I have mentioned to submit an ' alternative policy to the people of this dountry which was more accept- able than ours, surely the people would have accepted it before now.': —Premier Ross at 'Temple Banquet.
