We a*e Ahargei with having he'n
corrupt What are the nharges? Whorl
have thev be made? In the session cf
eight menthe' duration whioh was
drawn to A close a few week* ago was
there any charge made againer the
Government snob ae was made wine,
the Oonservattve Government in the
days of the Peeifie scandal, or in the
days of the McGreevy scandal, or in the
days o" the et ed rail scandal, when the
Government were directly taken to task
for ants of corrnptiou for which chapter
and book were given? No, sir. No
charge of that kind was made against
the preeent Adminietration.-Sir Wil-
frid Laurier,
Look at the assumption of the main-
tenance of the garrisons at Halifax and
E+gnimalt
Look at the establishment of a chain
of cold storage depots.
Look et the enlargement of the pos-
tal vendee.
Look at the inauguration of free
rand mail delivery.
Look at the establishment of the
Railway Oomlmieston.
Look at the proposition for the All
Red Line.
Look at the inorease in bank de-
paaita.
Look at the development of our coal
mines.
Look at the thousand and one monu-
ments of progressive and businesslike
administration, and the results pro-
duced by the expenditure incurred by
the Government are apparent to every
intelligent person.
The Government has made large
expenditures, but it had the money
to spend,. and it has the results to
show. It has "accomplished all these
thiugs without increasing the taxa-
tion of the people and practically
without adding to the public debt.
Those partisans who are vainly cry-
ing out about the expenditure are
not honest enough to give the Gov-
ernment credit for the tangible reenits
whioh are everywhere in evidence,
Canada is a vast country, with long
stretches of sparsely settled territory.
The marvellous development which
has been promoted would have been
impossible without large expenditure,
and in this formative period of our
history as a nation generous and
judicious expenditure is true economy.
The record of expenditure during
the past twelve years is one of the
features of the Laurier regime which
is deserving of all praise. We can-
not build a nation without spending
money no more than we can branch
out in our private affairs without
paying for it. And Canada has got
value for the money. No honest
man will attempt to deny it.
One has only to turn to the Unit-
ed States to appreciate what vast
strides we have made in comparison
with that great and enterprising
country. Twelve years ago the peo-
ple of that great Republic looked
upon Canada with indifference whio h
was little less than contempt. To -day
Canada is abreast of her neighbor in
many respects and is setting the
pane in others. Our population is
smaller but our trade per capita is
larger, our civilization is higher,
and our legislation is more progress-
ive. To -day the United States is
looking to Canada for light and lead-
ing, notably in the development of
the postal service, in the treatment
of labor problems, and in the regula-
tion =fe of public utilities, while the
farmers of the Amerioan West are
flocking across the line in thous-
ands, to make their homes in Manitoba,
Alberta and Saskatchewan. The
eyes of the American nation are up-
on Canada to -day, and her states-
men and her leading journals are
free to admit tbat a new nation has
arisen to ohallenge their commercial
supremacy on the North Am urioan
Continent.
Best of all, this transformation has
been effected without serione fric-
tion, and without diatnrbanoe of the
friendship and good will whioh hap-
pily have marked the relations of the
two countries. Canada is no longer
despised by, but on the contrary
commands the respect and the admir-
ation of, the Amerioan people, while
at the same time she has risen to a
place of leadership in the galaxy of
nations whioh comprise the Britleh
Empire.
The record of the Twelve Years
of Laurier is a reoord whioh ought
to make every patriotic Canadian thrill
with pride. It is not only the best
record of any Government in the
history of the Dominion, but it is a
record which has never been equal-
led by any country in the world.
Canada under Laurier has found her-
self. Let Laurier finish his work, -
Halifax Chronicle.
In eleven years 6 000 miles have been
addoa to the length of railways in Can-
ada end $396,000.000 to the capital invest-
ed in same. In five years the number of
farms in tie three Prairie Provinces has
been increased from 54,625 to 120.439.
In five years nearly 130 000 immigrants
have been settled on farms in the West.
Skilled farmers brought into the Can-
adian West from the United States are
Hngsged in the work of making 5.000,-
000 acres, formerly fallow, add to the
wea&th of the Dominion.

NOTES AND COMMENTS
"During the twelve years of Liberal
rule VT 1.1 exported 1,284,000,000 pounds
of bacon, while during the twelve years
of Tory rule preceding only 207,000,000
pounds were exported, or less than one-
sixth of what has heen done by the Lit. •
eral party. The Liberals don't claim
credit for that, but it happened in their
rule During the twelve years of Liber-
al rale $135 000 000 worth of beeon has
been exported. while in the preceding
Tory rale only $18,000,000 was exported."
Electors of East,Huron will do well to
vote for Hielop and send a Government
eupporter to Ottawa.
Laurier brought prosperity to Canada.
'Vote to retain it by supporting Aroh.
Hislop.
The electors of East Huron will re-
turn Aroh. Hislop at the head of the
poll on October 26th.
East Huron was lost four years ago
by over -confidence. See that every
Liberal vote is polled on the 26th and
we have no fear as to the result.
Liberals were asked four years ago to
vote for Dr Chisholm Rd that ha may
represent East Huron through one Par-
liament. That obligation has now been
falfilied and East Huron should he
redeemed on the 26th inst.
The Weekly Farmer's Sun, whioh
is thoroughly impartial, admits that
the Fielding Tariff "sensibly lessened"
the burdens of the farmers of Canada.
The Sim is too honest and intelligent to
argue that an increase in revenue is an
increase in taxation.
The Montreal Witness 'very properly
holds Mr. Borden ,responsible for Mr.
Roblln's preeenoe on' the platform. It
says: -"Mr. Borden may yet discover
that his followers have by their offensive
conduct nauseated a large number of
decenoy-loving electors who might
otherwise have been on his side. It is
said that 'if you throw enough mud
some of it is sure to stick,' and that is
often true; but it must not be forgotten
that the thrower not seldom befouls him-
self. Mr. Roblin's miegaided behavior
at least cannot fail to harm Conser-
vative prospects. Looking at the sit-
uation in general. it is a favorite exer-
cise of Conservative speakers to insist
that the Government holds power by
the force of a solid Quebec. As a mat-
ter of fact, without taking Quebec into
the count, the Government now holds a
majority of twenty-three in the Englieh-
speaking Provinces, and, indeed, has a
majority in every Province except On-
tario.

Four years ago the Liberals of East
Huron put too moon dependence in Dr.
Maodonald's platform work and neg-
lected the individual work. Many
Liberals votes were left nupolled. Let
the Liberals see that every vote ie polled
on the 26th of October.
Clinton New Era: Some one is cir-
culating a story to the effect that R.
Holmea ie not anxious to win West
Huron in the coming election because
"he has the position of King's Print-
er in his pocket." This statement is
absolutely and unqualifiedly untrue -
Mr. Holmes is certainly as anxious as
any garland tasks "the suo ppo t88of tthe
riding,
• electorate in perfectly good faith.
The timber limits disposed of under
the last period of Conservative rule
aggregated 29,322 square miles, for
which was received $121,219, while
the total area disposed of under the
Liberals, up to May, 1907, was only
6,456 square miles. for which was re-
ceived $528,878. For a smaller area of
timber limits the Liberals secured $81.92
per square mile, while the Conseivativa
• Government averaged only $4 13 per
square mile for four times the area.
"The land for the settler," proclaims
Hon. R. L. Borden. Premier Roblin,
one o! his chief campaign supporters,
practiced the round -about way of
getting the settler in touch with the
land. He first Bold public lands in
large blocks to speculators, and when
the settler was willing and able to pay
the pride the speculator demanded he
got it. In this way about 13.000 sores
of Menitoba land was aeenred by set -
tiers on whioh the speculators netted a
profit of over $83,000.

The Colohester election scandal, the
Hepburn scandal in East Elgin, and
the Conservative oampaign of scandal-
mongering are on a par with the Roblin
slander. They are specific oases that
deal with names and events completely
established to the satisfaction of all true
oitizene, whose moral perceptions have
not been partisanship. The are unlike
the alleged scandals charged against the
Liberal administration, not one of which
has been proved. No, not one has been
specifically laid against any individual
upon which a trial could be held to
establish his guilt or the innocence of
the party so charged. With grand
oratorical flourishes, the Conservative
campaigners make vague general asser-
tions about vast sums of money being
squandered, millions of acres of ohoice
land given away, graft, plunder, stealing,
robbery, and crookedness prevading the
Government, and in fact the whole Lib-
eral party, and yet they have not estab-
lished one case. It is about time they
showed some positive case of real dis-
honesty or incapacity.
It is argued on the Opposition side
that the progress of Canada in the
last twelve years is merely a feature
of the general progress of the world.
One would like to believe that the
world as a whols had made such mar-
velous progress as is indicated by this
argument. For inetanoe, in the last
twelve years the trade of Canada has
been increased by about four hundred
millions. or 175 per cent. It the trade
of the principal nations of the world
has inoreaeed by 175 per cent. in the
last twelve years, the fact has es-
oaFed the notice of the expert statis-
tician,.

PART OF THE GOOD RECORD.
Hon. Mr. Fielding spoke in Massey
Hall at Toronto last week and here are
some of the extracts from his speech:-
"This Government has given you a
sound, strong, wholesome commeroial
policy."
"We must not dwell too mnoh upon
theories; we must meet conditions as
they arise."
"The Canadian people have saved
ander this Government's tariff $54,-
000,000 which they would .have been
obliged to pay if the old tariff had re-
mained in force."
"In eighteen years the Conservatives
added to the public debt of Canada at a
rate of six and a half millions annually.
We have added to it at the rate of only
a little more than a million and a half
per annum."
"The Conservatives spent money
when they didn't have it to spend. We
spent it when we had it to spend."
