Mr, i G Cameron, the Liberal caudidate has met with , x,:ellent success iu his gatherings of L herein hi different parts of the rifling. All that is needed is that Mr. Cameron rmu the the hearty support of the Librrals of the riding and he wi;l be at the bead of the poll. Mr. Cameron has al way fn lowed Mr. Ross in the teluilereuee e. use.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier has given notice of a resolution conferring power to increase the pay of mounted police Rev. Dr. Chown, of Toronto, whose work in his c`fiicial capacity in connec- tion with the Methodist Church gives him especial facilities for observation, said in an address at Peterboro' the other day: The summit of the Government's railway policy is the Temiskaming road which is being built without the addi- tion of any permanent financial burden. It is being paid for out of the develope- ment of the natural resogrces of the country through which it travels. Under the successful administrations in Outerio, the Provincial timber sales have bronght average prices as follows: Under the Sandfield Macdonald Govern- ment, $260 per mile; under the Blake Government, $117 per mile; under the Mowat Government, $1,204 per mile; under the Hardy Government, $1,665 per mile; ander the Ross Government, $3,2.45 per mile. The electors should not cast aside a good business Government until they can get a better one. "He was forced to tell the truth, and that the late Provincial Secretary, Hon. Mr. Stratton, did lend his energies and put behind his efforts all the forces of the Government, and during the last eight months the license laws have been well enforced, and he thought Mr. Strat- ton deserved credit for his efforts in this particular. Since the reorganization of the Government he had been assured by the chief officer in the Department that the policy inaugurated by Mr. Stratton Would be coutiuned by Mr. Graham."

A BUNCH OF TORY BLUNDERS, Ontario Opposition Record of Obstruction —The Mistakes of Whitney. Here are some o! the blunders of the Tory Party of Ontario during the last few years: The fight agaifftt Ontario in the battle for Provincial rights, The light against Ontapio in the control of our license system. Opposition at one time to appoint- ment of Minister of Education and Minister of Agriculture. Opposition to erection of Normal Schools. Opposition to establishment of School of Practical Science. Opposition to aiding colonization rai1wae s in New Ontario. Opposition to helping the re-estab- lishment of the Soo Industries through a guarantee of interest on bonds. Opposition to the succession duties bill. Opposition to appointment of a Forestry officer. Opposition to the appointment of a drainage referee. Opposition to the appointment of a Provincial Municipal Auditor. Opposition to appointment of a good roads commissioner. Opposition to the bill to tax cor- porations. Opposition to almost every pro- posal of the Liberal Government for the advancement and building up of Ontario. Is it wise to place in power the Party of Blunderers? the Party of Obstructionists? BUILDING OP COLONIZATION AND MIN. iNG ROADS. The Ross Government Policy of Opening Up New Ontario. The Liberal Government of Ontario has always kept in the forefront its policy of opening up the new dis- tricts by means of colonization and mining roads. In these regards they have kept pace with the growth of the Province, as the following figures will indicate: Miles of new roads built, 1872-1894 inclusive, 5,822. (Yearly average of 183 miles.) Miles of roads repaired during same period, 16,494. (Yearly average of 500 miles.) Bridges built during same period, 23 miles. Total expenditure on above public works, $3,879,700. This large suns is but one of the many substantial returns made to the people from the surplus revenue that, thanks to the able and economical management of the Province, has al- ways characterized its Liberal rule. The Ross Government and the Supplemen- ter Revenue y v nue Act. The Ross Government brought be- fore the Legislature in 1899, the Supplementary Revenue Bill. It was passed by the House and in the face of the most strenuous opposition of Mr. Whitney and his followers. Since that time the Act has reali- zed nearly $1,200,000, a legitimate source of revenue that would have been lost had Mr. Whitney had his way. This revenue goes in large measure to maintain the asylums and public institutions of Ontario. The following are the receipts, from 1899 to 1903 inclusive, from the dif- ferent companies affected by the Act: Sundry insurance panies Banks.. Trust Companies Loan Companies Railway Companies Street Railway Com- panies Express Companies Pullman and Sleeping Car Companies Natural Gas Companies Gas and Electric Light Companies Telegraph Companies Telephone Companies__ com- 471,391.61 218,664.99 21,550.00 135, 23 7.89 167,900.14 35,484.21 20,991.67 4,687.65 39,319.92 37,552.05 6,581.46 28,520.00 51,187,881.89 How the Ross Government Has Expendry�l. the People's Money. No less than 83 per cent. of all the revenue of Ontario has been re- turned to the people. Out of every $100 of revenue res craved in 1903, the Province Spent: About 510.33 on Education.

The Ross Government has always been in favor of the development of New Ontario by railway construc- tion. The Opposition has tried in ev- ery way to thwart this feature of the Government policy, but happily without avail. Almost every propo- sition for railway aid and construc- tion brought before the Legislature by the Ross Government has met with either open opposition on the part of Mr, Whitney and his follow- er's, or practical opposition by plac- ing obstacles in the way. There can bo no true development or permanent settlement of our new districts without, corresponding rail- way co istruction, and this progres- sive policy on the part of the Gov- ernment has been amply justified. The Algoma Central Railway. The Algoma Central Railway has been constructed for a distance of 87 miles through a rich timber and min- ing country, with intervening agri- cultural areas, while 107 miles have been graded. Now that the Sault in- dustries have been re-established on a permanent basis, and the various works are in operation, the Algoma Central Railway will in all proba- bility be pushed to completion to a point on the main line of the C.P.R. as originally planned. Already settlement has accompan- ied construction of the railway as far as it has been completed, and the pioneer conditions of settlement are being fulfilled at many points along the line. When completed, this line is bound to be a most important factor in opening up the undoubtedly rich re- sources of that part of the Algoma District through which it passes. When the Ross Government brought down the original Railway Bill of 1900, which included aid to the Al- goma Central Line, Mr. Whitney vio- lently opposed the measure as a whole, The Leader of the Opposition used his choicest expletives in de- nouncing the Bill, calling the propo- sition to aid the railway in ques- tion "The most phenomenal steal, the greatest attempt at public rob- bery, the most heinous public crime that was ever attempted by men in authority in the Dominion of Cana- da, and I do not think I would be exaggerating to say, on the Contin- ent of North America." This extra- ordinary statement was greeted with prolonged Opposition cheers. The Algoma Central Railway is vitally essential to the great enter- prises at the Sault, and the aid giv- en to the former would be warranted on that basis alone, but if It will assist in the development of the un- settled lands of the Crown of that district, then the Government will be doubly justified. The Temiskamloc and Northern Ontario Railway. The Ross Government again show- ed its progressiveness in undertaking the construction of the Teniiskaming & Northern Ontario Railway. The Bill passed through the Legislature provided for the construction, equip- ment and operation of the railway as a Government enterprise. A Com- mission of five able men, now com- posed of Robert Jaffray, chairman, and Messrs. Edward Gurney of To- ronto, B. W. Folger of Kingston, F E. Leonard of London, and M. J. O'Brien of Rcnfrew, was appointed, charged with theconstruc- tion n who were tru- o s c tion and operation of the railway. In the relatively short time of two years, the line has been completed for a distance of 137 miles to a point 25 utiles north of New Liske- ard, and a regular train service is now in operation, the value of which to the settlers in that thriving part of New Ontario can hardly be over- estimated. The Railway Commission has done its work well. The line has been con- structed according to modern stand- ards and ranks among railway ex- perts as a first class road in its road bed and structural equipment and the Commission will in a few weeks take over the line from the contrac- tors. By the Act constituting the Temis- kerning Commission, which by' the way was well described as one of the most important and progressive Bills ever introduced in the Legisla- ture of Ontario, the Commission is empowered to make reciprocal run- ning arrangements with other com- panies. The cost of the railway is being borne by the setting apart of adja- cent Crown Lands in tiers of town- ships, not to exceed twenty thousand acres per mile, on which the deben- tures shall be a charge. The railway has been constructed and equipped with Canadian material as far as possible. No person has been employed in contravention of the Alien Labor Act, and the current rate of wages in the district for similar work has been paid to those employed in its construction. Another new and commendable fea- ture has been introduced by the ltoss Government in connection with this road, namely the appointment of an additional Commission charged with the duty of setting aside town sites. This Commission is composed of Mr. Aubrey White, Assistant Commissioner of Crown Lands, chairman; Mr. Thomas W. Gibson, Director of Mines; Mr. Thornes Southworth, Di/letter of Colonize, - tion; A. W. Campbell, Assistant Commissioner of Public Works, and r. W. 13. Ibiss;ell, Chief Engineer in rge of the construction of the T. N. 0. 11. 11.

Owing to the difficulties of construc- tion, the usual subsidy was deemed insufficient and provision was made therefor, but when the Bill was be- fore the Legislature,• Mr. Whitney-- tttt e to his policy of placing ob- staeles in the way of railway con- struction—moved an amendment to reduce the proposed subsidy from 5503,000 to 5225,000. If his view had prevailed, in all probability there would be no line built yet from Port Arthur to the Northwest, through the Rainy River District. No one will dispute the advan- tages of this line to the district touched, or to the entire Province, It not only made accessible Iargo areas of mining lands west of Port Arthur, but brought railway facili- ties to the large population that had already settled upon the arable lands of the Rainy River Valley, where it is estimated there are a million acres of fertile lands In addition to these reasons, yet another through competing line to the Northwest was thus given the public. Already the Rainy River District has felt the impulse of growth af- forded by the incoming of the rail- way, and the towns and centres in the District are expanding on every hand. All this was brought to pass, how- ever, it should be remembered, in spite of the opposition of Mr, Whit- ney and his Conservative followers. THE RICH PULPWOOD RESOURCES OF ONTARIO AS DEVELOPED BY ROSS GOVERNMENT Ontario is rich in many natural re- sources, but in none more so than in her vast forests of pulpwoods. The ten exploratory survey parties of 1900 found great stretches of tim- ber of this class which they estimat- ed at 288 million cords, and this is only part of the extensive area of the Province. The prophecy has been frequently made that Canada is destined to be- come the leading pulp and paper source of supply for the world, and in the fulfillment of this prophecy Ontario will have a large share. The Extent of Our Spruce Forests. While we have considerable spruce large enough to make sawn lumber, great forests of this tree stand so thick on the ground as to prevent large growth and much of it is mainly valuable for wood pulp. These forests, if thinned out, would, of course, grow to a size suitable for saw log purposes, but the growing demand for spruce for the manufac- ture of paper renders the tree very valuable, even when of small size. Because of this, spurce may be cut in from 20 to 30 years from the seed and therefore two crops of spruce can be harvested to one of pine. By. reason of this natural law of repro- duction, our pulpwood forests can- not be exhausted by gradual utiliza- tion. It is therefore a wise economy to realize on this cource of wealth. The Recent Growth of the Industry. The wood pulp industry is of com- paratively recent growth but is in- creasing rapidly. Owing to the na- ture of the industry, the large capi- tal required in its development, and the fact that pulpwood grows in a more scattered fora) than pine, it was early seen that the method of disposing of the pine timber would not be applicable in this case, The pine timber is sold to the highest bidder at public auction and the li- cense issued for one year only, re- newable till such time as the timber has been removed from the land. Very little` capital was required ex- cept in the purchase of the timber. In the pulp industry the conditions are entirely different. It was in the first place important to the industry and general welfare of the Province that the pulpwood should not be sold and exported from the country in its raw condition. In order to manu- facture it into pulp, large buildings with expensive equipment are needed, requiring enormous power, and in order to warrant so extensive an in- vestment, .the capitalists would na- turally require for a long term of years a reasonable guarantee of a supply of wood necessary for the con- tinuance of the industry. '1'he policy of the Government therefore was to grant concessions over a limited ter- ritory containing spruce and kindred woods, for a term of years—usually twenty-one—on condition that the capitalists expend a certain amount of money in erecting mills and manu- facture into pulp +til the wood cut upon this teriet,)re, with a guaran- eer ' employ- ed, - L 11Utt11H'1' O. hatlt(.5 t0 1R C p Uy ed, the Government) also collecting fro):, the c•nners:+innuir('O clues repre- senting l.lie 1a1lm' of the wood when cut. Formerly the dues on spruce were 20 cents per cord, but with its increasing 101111' the dues were, on llar('h'2010, 1900, increased to 4U cents per cord. The Export of Pulpwood Prohibited. The export of pulpwood in a non- manufactured condition has also been prohibited be; a 1)i11 introduced b3' the Commissioner of Crown Lauds on Mai ch 7111, 190a0, so that the law now provides that all pulpwood cut , on Crown Lands in the Province nnt';t be manufactured in Canada, the saute as pine sate logs, thereby give I, ins employment to home industry r� and in a practical 'tvay aiding in the G rim pin/nu,mt of few Ontario and 1) building up the trade of 0I0 On- a term. 3 Pulpwood Concessions.

The Mail said, in 1900: t"The On- tario Government's management of, the finances huts been thrifty, judice fous and clean," The Montreal Witness: "Ontario's splendid financial position has been preserved by careful, business -like, honest administration since Confed- eration.” The Toronto Telegram: "The iia nancial and administrative record of the Liberal party is, on the whole, creditable. The resources of the pro- vince have been wisely handled." In proof of the above testimonies it may be skid: Ontario's annual re., ceipts in interest would retire its total liabilities twice over. The interest paid annually on the provincial trust funds (valued at 56,- 218,788) amounts to more than suf- ficient to meet the entire annual payments of the province for its li- abilities for railway certificates and annuities. Out of, a total appropriation of seventy millions in twenty years, the Opposition has objected to less than one cent on the dollar. Ontario is without a dollar of debt presently payable. Ontario had $2,739,200 in the banks on December 12, 1904. Ontario, ever since 1872, has shown a surplus of assets after de, ducting liabilities presently payable. Ontario's surplus of assets after deducting liabilities, Dec. 31, 1903, was 52,549,164.
