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

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

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

The Conservative press is now anxious
to disavow obatraotion. The Edmonton

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.

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.

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."

medicine dealer or by mail at 50 Dents a

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,
