Liberals during the present session of the' Local Rouse, the News says :- • In. addressing the members Hon. G. W. Ross clearly intimated his present purpose of retaining his ' position as: their leader, and the ,Liberal members tendered him•an expression of their. :confidence and loyalty. "'The -general iritpression among his supporters is that he has • foregone the offer of a Senatorship, with the view that there are yet years of usefulness before him in the mere -active political arena -in- deed, in - addressing them he spoke yig- • orouely of the future of the.' party and his identifications with it, e The present session is to be utilized for party recuperating purposes,noting closely all " legislation introduced by the Governmenand engaging -in careful I and thoughtful criticism.

Dr Drury observed that the farmers are, as a rule, a silent class ; their views were not often heard, but their importance warranted their being heard more often than they are, The rural population comprised three-diths of the population of the country, while they bad three times as much capital invested as all the other enter- prises of the country combined, the figures being $1,700,000,000 for the farmers and $552,000,000 for the other � interests; More than that, they added to the wealth of the country 1443,000,-. 000 per year: while all the other • pro- ducers combined only Oiled $307,000,- 000. to formulating a fully •defined polkcy, • will be a matter for considerationnext year." s • The tlarernment,and:the; Spoils System (Toronto News) . -The :"Thus far: shalt thou go -and no - farther" edict has been issued by the, Whitney Government to those of, its dissatisfied and i'mpetuous followers in the House who' haye heen clamoring Tor aa:., wholesale. introduction of the Spoils 'system.

''1 know that will be challenged at once," Mr Drury added,,"as the census figures show that the products of the manufacturers were $481,000,000, If you will look at the question .you will find that the manufacturer adds to the wealth' of the country only by the ad- ditional value that be gives to his raw material, therefore, the •amount of his raw material has to. be deducted ' from the census figures." Mr. Drury said that the census figures of 1891 -the de- tails were nut in the returns for 1901 - showed that the raw materialsarnount- ed to about one. half the finished pro- duct' and his estimate had been made on that basis.. •For the farthing class Mr Drury claimed merit as the backbone of • sta- bility in the country, • "I know our, faults,"'he said, "'hut we are less" sway- ed by the excitement of the . moment than any other ' class." The farmers' case before the Tariff Commission, he. said, had been practically unanimous, and yet had not heen"the result of any general. organization. It had been in fact, a spontaneous expression of opinion., The farmers had been prat ticahy unanimous in saying: that pea- taction did -not help them. • Thus pro BUY 1i'GOOD INSTRUMENT. dueedtnainly,pork;beef,' cheese; but - D 25C Pictures Copies of famous. imisterpieces, also a, variety, o subjects, complete with frames and glass*"A. window full, Choice for 25c ,Alexander's • New Revival Hymns ,i.

Mr. Drury cited the cattle "business as an example, wherein the Ontario farmer has to compete with the range fed cattle of Texas and Argentina,'and even the Northwest, but against the latter he made no. complaint, as ,the people there were brother Canadians,; Under those circumstances:the farmers were entitled to some relief, and the paternal sympathy of the Manufactur- ers' Association, who presumed to ar• glue afar their welfare, was deserving -of " - • M a •."-. • die name Of irsck nrflllin, N t lm a o wth- itat,tiding-••the-deyelopmentoof-the west; the rural population of Canada had only increased by 1.62 per cent, in the last censna decade.
