Mr. His- lop hue the temperament which loves a fight, maid the fact that in Dr, Chisholm he hes an opponent hard to beat has inspired him with an enthusiasm whioh oommunioatea itself to every one with whom he comes in aontact.---Toronto Globe. Announcement of dissolution of Par- Iiameist will be made this week by Sir Wilfrid Laurier. No offioiai informa- tion as to the exact date of the eleotion is yet available. but it is praotioally certain that the day selected for polling will be, either Wednesday 28th, or Thursday, 29th of Ootober. Good pro. grecs has been made with the voters' Usti, and the Secretary of the State Department is now sending them out to 'the various 000stltnenoies as rapidly as possible. We understand the supply of • votera' list for Beat Huron have been received. Take the Colchester episode as as ex ample, and the eleotioa of John Stan- field as a type With what pagans of joy wan that event acclaimed as a great moral victory over the pewees of dark. nese! What moral lessons it served to teach! What high-flown principles it gave, point to! For nine months a ant- feriug publio were invoked to ponder the moral lesson and worship their wooden god. A flash of lightning truth from heaven of relentless justice, and the tatters of their robes of self-right- eonanesg were aimed from their skins, and their shrivelled hypocrisy was ex- posed to a derisive world. The ass when shorn of its lion's skin was not so ridioaloae.—Halifax Chronicle Wm. E. Corey, President of the United States Steel Company, the world's greatest industrial corporation, says:—"Within a few days a number of important blast furnaces have been started up. Some of these furnaces are so large that, directly and indirectly, mole a furnace gives employment for several thousand men in mining, trans• portation and the work at the furnaces. Three big blest furnaces, just started up after a long inactive period, are the principal factors in the support of al- most any thousand men, women and children, whose bread and butter is founded upon the prosperity of those furnaces." The same tendency is to be noted in Canada in the iron and steel business, one of the basic industries. The great Sydney plant is running full time, and the Sault Ste. Marie plant will be blown is within a few days to work on rush orders, There is no longer doubt that the worst of the in- dustrial depression is over. The Orangeville San, one of the brightest of the local weeklies on the Conservative side, continues to warn its leaders of the danger, from a party standpoint, in committing the organiza- tion to a oampaiga for higher tariff In its issue of last week oar namesake declares that it would be unwise to re- vive the demand for a higher tariff, and the further assertion is made that as a vote•getter the polioy of granting special favor for special interests has seen its bast days. The significance of the warning given becomes more apparent when the political history and general conditions of the district in which the Oraugeville Sart is published are taken into acooant. That diatriot Is an agri- cultural one, and overwhelmingly Con- servative. Liberals there being almost as scarce as Conservatives were et one time In the Township of Darlington, in West Derham. When the Conservative organ in saoh a conatitnenoy goes on warning its leader. week after week of the advisability of moving in the direc- tion of lower rather than higher tariff, Ms fairly good evidence that a great chaege, has taken place among the Con- serretive farmers of that part of the Province at lealIt.—Toronto Weekly San. The Conservative press is now anxious to disavow obatraotion. The Edmonton Bulletin says in regard to it: "Why The memorandum also shows how was Parliament prevented voting the satiefectery have been the results of imppltes for public service?

THE ERA OF FULFILLMENT. (Toronto Star,) The campaign for the Federal election is in fall swing, and both parties are completing their organization and pre- paring their oase for presentation to the people. Many arguments will be used, many charges and counter -charges made, but an election is usually decided en one or two simple grounds. In order to effect a change, an Opposition mast either present some broad simple, issue, or show that it can substitute a strong and honest Government for one that is weak and discredited. The fall of the lllaokenzie Government in 1878 and th fall of the Tapper Geverameut In 1896 are lisanoes in point. Tne Mackenzie Government fell, or rather Sir John Macdonald was restored to power, by presenting the oroad issue of proteotion in a time of deep industrial depression. The Tupper Government fell because of inherent weakness and dissension, and because the oonntry sow in Sir Wilfrid Laurier and other Liberal leaders the material for a strong, new Administra- tion. Mr. Borden complies with neither condition. He presents no broad inane. He has failed to surround himeeif with men in whom the country has oonfi. denoe. As to the present Government, it would be strange if in a period of twelve years it had not aooumalated material for hostile criticism. It deserves sup- port, not as a perfect Government, but as the best available Governme •t and as a Government whose achievements for Canada far outweigh its faults and errors. Under its predecessors Canada was a land of promise. Under the pres- ent Government Canada is a land of fulfillment. All doubt, all misgiving as to the future of Canada has vanished. No longer does anyone talk of annex - anon, or of any other kind of surrender, Alen speak of Confederation as a land- mark in the history of Canada, and rightly, but it is doubtful whether even at Confederation there was a greater change in the position and in the view- point of Canadians than has occurred in the last twelve years. The Canada of 1908 is a different oonntry from the Canada of 1896. Its manufacturing industry, its railway business, have made equally wonderful increases. CANADA THE EMPIRE'S FOOD PROVIDER. The possible food supply of the Un- ited Kingdom from the outlying parts of the empire is dealt with in a memorandum recently issued by the British Tariff Commission. Accord- ing to the estimates of the Deputy Minister of Agriculture of Great Britain, at the present rate of progress, Canada, by the year 1912, may produce one and one-half ttmes as much wheat as the United Kingdom Imports, of 350,000,000 bushels. From the same memorandum the following instructive fignres are taken. Proportion of total imports of under- mentioned articles imported into the United Kingdom from British posses- sions and foreign countries respectively. British Permissions. 1892 6 1902.6 P C. P.C. Wheat ........ 15 22 Meat .....21 24 Batter .... .10 21 Cheese .. . . ................54 75 It will be seen how in the matter of food products, the British Empire is gradually advancing towards self-sup- port. As to the future, while the British deputy minister's estimate may be rather high it seems probable that if our present rate of increase of produc- tion is maintained, before the eloee cf the second decade of the twentieth cen- tury the Dominion will be able to supply the people of Great Britain and Ireland With all the breadatuffs they will need. This is all the more impor- tant irt view of the fact that the United States, must, before many years pass, cease to be a wheat -exporting country. and be no longer a competitor of Canada's. TUE WINGI;r4M TIMES, SEPTEMBER 17, 1WIt3 AFTER DOCTORS FAILED Or, Williams' Pink Pills Rest fre a Despondent Sufferer to Health, "Although itt e now eom e e gears ace I foaled it necessary to take rnedioiae of any kind, I attribute my present goad health entirely to Dr, Williams' Pink Pills." Thos writes Mr. Wm. M. Ferguson, St. John West, N. 13. Mr, Ferguson gontinues:—"For years 1 was a sufferer front chronic bronohitia and general debility. I had alwaya been delicate, bat as I grew older I seemed to grow weaker, and at the approaoh of autumn I commenced to oongh and had to remain in the house all winter, With the coming of rammer I always got a little better, only to be Mid low again when the fine weather was over. Dur. ing my last and most severe attack my cough became more distressing and I raised considerable phlegm, while at night I would be bathed in a cold, Mammy sweat. The dootor's medicine relieved my cough a little during the day time, but there was no other im- provement es I had no appetite, the night sweats continued and I was grow- ing weaker. I changed doot a three different times but with n improve, mens, Then I began to t e ood liver oil, but my stomach had own so weak It refused to retain it.;; It was at this time when I was ryia to reconcile my- self to my fate t t pamphlet relating cures wrought y r. Wuliams' Pink Pllls was left at door. Although my friends thought me in a decline, and although I was feeling hopeless myself, I decided to try the Pills. After using several boxes, though I still continued to oongh, I felt better in other respects, and my appetite was gradually return- ing. I was not Daly sarprieed, but pleased to find this improvement, and I gladly continued, their use. By the time I had taken "ten boxes the night sweats and the cough had entirely dis- appeared, and I was feeling quite vigor - ons. I took two more boxes, and felt that there was no neoessity to continue the treatment as I was in better health than I had ever been before. When I completed the twelfth box I weighed myself and found that 'I had gained 32 pounds. As I said before it is some years since my cure was effected, and I have not had a cough in any season since, and have always enjoyed the beat of health, I believe, therefore, that 11 is entirely due to the agency of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that I am alive and well to -day, and I trued that others will benefit by my personal experience." Yon lean get these pills from your medicine dealer or by mail at 50 Dents a box or nix boxes for $2.50 from The Dr, Williams' Medioine Co., Brookville, Oat. Leve Stock Markets. Toronto, Sept. 15th,—There was not much 11fe to the trade at the City Cattle Market today. Demand was dull for poor cattle and the good to choice gnality butcher cattle were scarce bur not entirely missing. Several good loada of good to ohoioe butcher cattle were offering, as well ae two or three Wade of really ohoioe export. The de- mand for export cattle, however, is very quiet this week. The dry weather has apparently checked the market for stockers and feeders. The dried and burned up fields are in no condition just now for turning cattle into, and it is just a little early to begin feeding on the hay stored up for the winter. There was a heavy run of sheep and lambs, and the market is weaker. Hogs—The market is very strong, 9010ot3 going to -day up to $7 fed and watered. The total run to -day was 70 oars, with 887 head of cattle, 2,307 sheep and lambs, 662 hogs, and 150 calves, The following are the quotations; Exporters' cattle— Per 100 lbs.
