THE FARMERSTRUE, FRIEND
Mr, Elitists', our young, vigorous and
able representatiVe in the Logisla tie e
Assembly, is not losing sight of the in-
-Wrests; of his constituents and last'

ting aggregation or gang of ballot-stuf-

•Government, a crack on the deaf side
of its head, with his proposed Bill 101-.
the extension of the term of Farmers'
policies of flee insaranee from foul: to
five years. This would mean a saving
of many hundred dollars to the farm-
ers of Mr. Eilber's constituency and to
the farmers all over the Province.
'Themoribund Government got downon
its knees and aikell. Mr. Eilber to NV lth-
draw his Bill saying that the Inspector
of Fire Insurance Companies was' op-
posed to the Bill. Mr. Either refused
to be dictated to by the Inspector or
,any person other than his farming con-
stituents in whose interests he intro-
duced the measure, and plainly told
the Government that if they were un -
,der the pay of Insurance Conapanies
and afraid to oppose those wealthy cor-
porations he was not. Mr. Eilber also
reminded the Government that they
would soon wake up to find that the
farmers of this Province were a strong
• and mighty corporation. Though the
measure was supported by every Con-
servative in the House and by one of
the friends of the Government, Mr.
James Conmee, Mr. Ross called upon
his supporters to vote against it and
succeed.ed in defeating, for the time
ground scenting for the Registry office
imt if his friend Dan McGillicuddy is
consulted he will -say that MeLrean has
had too much governmeut prog al-

that the party could throw in his way;
he for years collected from the reform
patrons of his paper a double toll of $2

make a few votes for M. Y. McLean
and do a little cheap electioneering, he
became generous and reduced the toli
to $1 (he has been kicking himself ever
since because the reduction availed
him nothing;) he has been issuer of
merriage licenses; he was paid $2,400
Cor doing nothing for his constituency;
he has indeed lived, moved anti had
his being from aud by the .party and
the only service he has rendeved his
party in retura was to hancl the con-
stituency over to Mr. Henry Eilber.
If servility and prostitution to party
counts, M. Y. should be appointed to
the R. 0. Dan McGillicuddy to , the
contrary, notwithstandineland if it
should be that he is turned dowreas he
likely will be, there is still a place for
him on the Ross Commission about to
be issued to inquire into and devise the
best ways and means to resuscitate the
dead and decoznposing remains of that
once great and good government of
the little Christian Oliver Mowat and
his Wicked partner, Arthue S. Hardy.
(see page 33 Mowat's Evidences of
Christianity) also Col. Ley's 1st, 2nd
and 3rd letters to Mowat re the Mid-
dlesex Registrarship. In the mean-

fight be has begun and will adorn Par-
liament long after Mr. McLean has
been placed to moulder on the shelf or

consigned to political oblivion.
being, the Farmers' Insurance Bill.
Those who are personally acquainted
• with the enember for South Huron
know that the Bill, though voted down
by the brute and false majority of the
Ross ant -fit, will be resurrected and re -
resurrected until it becomes law. Mr.
Eilber has much to lose and nothing
to gain by the measure. He is Man-
ager of the Hay Farmers' Mutual Co.,
and as such is paid a renewal fee on
all policies renewed by him. If his
proposed Bill became law he would re-
ceive this renewal fee only once in five
-years instead as he does now of once
In four. We cannot but feel pity for
the ridiculous figure which M. Y. Mc-
Lean and Arch. Bishop, the late Reps.
of S. H., are made to cut by the Gov-
ernment's action in this matter. We
remember when Mr. Eilber had just
about wound up his eleption cainpaign
in 1896 and had made his election sure,
ithat the above named worthies, Mc-
Lean and Bishop, ran wildly from one
'end of the Riding to the other circula-
ting the lie that Mr, Eilber was to blame
that Farmer' Companies did not have
• the privilege of issuing policies for a
term of -five years. We remember that
Mr. Eilber in order to protect himself
against the malicious and false eeport
and roor-back was compelled to send
out sworn and attested declarations,
disproving their statements, and show-
ing that 'McLean, Bishop and the On-
tario Government, were the culprits.
So far as Bishop was concerned we
forgave him at the time and we can
only feel sorry for the old gentleman
now as he never knew anything more
-than he was told and then forgot it
over night, but as for Mr. 'McLean, he
did know that he was misrepresenting
his opponent (Mr. Eilber) and ,that he.
(himself) ib was, who should, as the
member of the Constituency, have at-
tempted to secure for the farmers their
rights. We have always looked upon
McLean as one of the "Jim Crow" pol-
iticians, ready and willing to swallow
anything. We have seen him take in
at one gulp -the p0form and princi-
ples of the Patron,',.ezf Industry; the
printing and publishing monopolies of
the Mowat and Ross Government; the
platform of the Royal Templars; the
principles of Mowat and Ross in
their infamous liquor Acts, , (or the
• "Liquor Licenses for Votes Act"). He
is one of the "yellow dog" chaps 'and
can be depended upon at all times to
follow the beck and call of his political
party and here is the way he eats dog
concerning Mr. Eilber's Insurance bill
in the Expositor of the 23rd March.
He says: -
'We notice that Mr. Eilber of South
I-Inron has a bill before the Legisla-
ture to amend the `Insurance Act' eo
that purely Mutual Companies can ex-
tencl the insurance from four to five
years. This change it seems to us is
not desirable and should not be al-
lowed by the Legislature. We are not
sure therefore that it would not be
wise to return to the three year term,
certainly if any change is to be made,
the term should be shortened instead
of lengthened, and this is more especi.,
ally the case as nothing can be gained
by extending it."
How his tune has changed! Pool,
Mr. MeLean, he is thus'made to swal-
low Iiiixiself. His party says to him,
"Mac eat leek! and Mac eats leek.'
He sees that Mr, Eilber has gained
point, and realizes 110W that Mr. Eil
ber has proved the farmers' true friem
and completely unhorsed both .Arch
Bishop and himself, in theie very clis
creditable attack upon him and he
therefore seeke to depreciate Mr, hiiil
lea's nieasure. Evidently Mr. McLean

Legislative Assembly.
March 20th, 1900.
In continuing the debate on the bud-
get speech, Mr. Eilber rose and spoke
as follows: -
Mr. Speaker, I am sure that I have
to congratulate you upon your election
as speaker of this House, and I do so
with pleasure, and I know you will ap-
preciate it all the more when I tell you
it comes from one through whose veins
German blood flows, nevertheless, a
true British subject. There is no per-
son, Mr. Speaker, who could feel his
position more than I do upon this oc-
casion, when addressing this House
for the simple reason that my English
Education is limited. Nevertheless I
trust I will be able to make myself
understood, and that the Government
will understand that which I have to
say. I might say that I consider it
my duty to refer to the expenditure of
this country, a question which I deem
to be second to none of interest to the
people, in the Province of Ontario, and
that Eshould not rise on the floor of
this House to continue this debate,
were it not for the interest that I take
in the good and welfare of this coun-
try and a duty which I owe to my
constituency.
In the first place, Mr. Speaker, I just
want to say one word in reference to
the way in South Africa. What a
pleasure it must be to Her Majesty,
the Queen, to see Her Empire so unit-
ed as they are upon the present occas-
ion and, Mr. Speaker, we in this coun-
try are more cemented together to
fight for the mother country than ever
before. Our young Canadian men are
loyal, and the brave young men who
went from this country to fight for
the, rights of their fellowman, and pro-
tect the flag of this country, have done
more to cement England and her col-
onies, than politicians have ever ac-
complished or would be able to do. I
know that the country and this House
regret to hear of the loss of our brave
boys and while their blood is filtering
in. the sands of South Africa, we in
this country should not forget to pro-
vide and protect their homes and dear
ones and I trust that this House will
do its duty in that respect. (Cheers.)
I innist say that I believe to -day there
is a misunderstanding and misappre-
hension as to the attitude assumed by
the German people. I believe to -day
that there are no better British sub-
jects in the Province of Ontario than
the German people. They are citizens
and good citizens; they are citizens
who will die for the flag which will
give them their bread and butter and
their children education.
In entering upon the discussion cif
public affairs, I desire to call the at-
tention of the House to the expendi-
ture in the Civil Government of the
Province. I believe, Mr. Speaker,
that the cost of Civil Government in
this Province is an expensiveone. Take
the public accounts, and compare them
30 years back, in the year 1870 we
spent $101,909.35; last year the total
was $253,013.03. Why, Mr. Speaker,
we natiet come to the conclusion that
Civil Government is a very expensive
affair in the Province of Ontario. Now
eve have $:35,000 the cost of seven Min-
isters in this Province. It represents
that seven ministers are maintained at
a cost of $5,000 a piece, the value of a
good hundred acres of land; in other
words the seven ministers receive a
salary equal to 88 working, men. If
yoli will take that in the County of
Huron (the South Riding of which I
have the pleasure of representing) wibh
a population of 22885, Civil Goverment
is too expensive, the people are bur-
dened. We do not say that the Offici-
.
als of the Government, except in eome
instances, receive too large a salary;
but what We do pretend to Say is that
there are too many of them getting
salaries and not giving the Province
any valuable return. ]Deering the last
session of this House, the Provincial
Secretary read to us the salaries re-
ceived by the different officials in the
United States, but he did not read to
ns for instance, the State of Michigan.
You take the State of Michigan, there
we fin I, Mr. Speaker, that the Officials
in that State receive the following, sal-
aries: -The Secretary of State received
$800 a year; the State Treasurer receiv-
ed $1000 a year; the Auditor General
received $3000, and, Mr, Speaker, In ay
God tpend the day when we shall
If honorable gentlemen opposite Will
talc the Paine to read up the Auditor's
eeport 1 thiek they will come to the
conclusion that it \VOlaki be better, jf
we had such an independent audit in
tide Province. Take for instance, the
Land Office there, the Master receives
$800; the Attorney -General $800! the
SuPerinendent of Public Institntions
$1000. Nov,Nit has been said that the
duties of these Officials are not shnilar
to the duties of those Officers this
Province. Let me read to you what
the duties of the Treasurer of the State
of Michigan are: "He is required, be-
fore entering uPon the duties of his
office, to give a bond to the people of
the State in the SUM of one hundred
and fifty the us a nd dollars, With three
or more surities to be approved by
the Auditor -General end Attorney -
G eneral, et." Now, the duties there
are larger than in this Province. Now,
in addition to this when we go into
Our provincial account, take our asy-
lums for instance, we find in looking
over the accounts that there are a
large number of officials, men who are
supporters of this Government, nien
who are willing to support them in
every way, recdiving large sums of
ineney from the public treasin.y of
this Province, and honorable gentle-
men claim credit for saving money to
the tax payer by taking care for those
unfortunate people. Look at the
money we have given you. They will
rise upon the platforms of this Prov-
ince and say, see the vast sums of
money we have given to your people
to relieve your taxes, when, Sir, if you
will analyze those expenditures, you
will find that two-thirds of the same
have gone into the pockets of the
friends of the Hon. gentlemen oppo-
site. Take for instance, the Reforma-
tory at Penetanguishene. Is there an
Hon. Gentleman in this House who
will take up the report of that "institu-
tion, where we had 123 boys confined
last year, and say that this Govern-
ment was justified in paying the sum
of $16,115.47 for salaries alone? We
ask the Honorable, the Treasurer,
would anybody in this country say
that it was a reasonable thing that
every boy in that institution should
cost for salaries $124.58 for one year?
And then they tell us, and the farmers
of my county, there is the 'money we
have saved you.
Hon. Grentlemen opposite are not
friends of the farmers, neither are they
giving the assistance to the Public
Schools, which they received years
ago. I am going to quote for a mo-
ment from a statement I have here in
reference to the schools in my county.
And I want to say this to the Country
and to the House, that in the County
of Huron we are not receiving for the
township public schools what we re-
ceived years ago, and the grant is go-
ing back every year.
The sixteen township municipalities
received from this legislatru.e the fol-
lowing grants:
1868, $6143; 1869, $6223; 1870, $6796;
1871, $6958; 1872, $7118; 1873; $7631;
1892, $5602; 1893, $5632; 1894, $5464;
1865, $5497; 1896, $5580; 1898, $5527;

the opposition, have been endeavoring \
to do from time to time, is that these .
gentlemen, when they are about to
dispose of the heritage of the people in
respect to these timber limits, should
come to the peOPle's representatives:in
Parliament, and submit their proposi-
tions to the judgment of the people,
and permit them to pass judgment up-
on them. But instead of doing that,
sir, these gentlemen, forgetting the
true principles of liberalism, have an-
nounced and have adhered to the pol-
icy of themselves eletermining what
shall be done withlhe timber and re-
sources of this country, and they have
insisted on bringing into the market a
large quantity of the timber of the
countey without consulting the peo-
ple's repeesentatives or taking them
into their confidence. The result of
this has been that large quantities of
the timber upon the north shore of
Lake BUM have boon fovced into the
market under the pretence of fostering
settlement, and this timber has passed
into the hands of speculators to the
amotuit of hundreds of thousands of
dollars on the advanced value of those
limits, and has practically gone out of
the hands of the tax payers of this
country.
What do I find in travelling through
the district of Parry Sound and Mus-
koka? Why the Hon. member from
Muskoka the other day said that hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars were be-
ing made in his district from bark. I
travelled through Parry Sound district
last year a considerable distance; and
what did I find? I found that his
statement was true, that there are
thousands of cords a bark made in
the country that while the bark is be-
ing pealed. What is the result? You
will find logs rotten to the core, going
to ruin instead of having that timber
cut up and manufactured into lumber.
This is not as it should be and only
goes to show that the Government of
to -day is careless. If this government
adopted the system practiced in the
Black Forest, we would have all the
thnber we require and so would our
children. Take for instance what is
known of the Hiligenwalt, a forest of
a little over two thousand acres -it is
now very prominent -and people are
receiving employment in that forest
and they are kept there at respectable
salaries. What is the result of that?
Why from the very revenue of that
forest you will find that they pay the
whole of their school taxes and their
municipal taxes, keep up their roads,
build churches and pay an annual rev-
enue to the head of every family. Now
that is the kind of policy that could be
adopted in some parts of this country;
and Sir, I think it would be a step in
the right direction if we were to -follow
the method practised in Germany,
France and other countries, and have
the lands not fit for agricultural pur-
poses in Parry Sound district re fores-
ted. He could take some of the boys
at the Reformatory, some from the
Central Prison and the tramps in the
country-, and distribute them through-
out that district and plant a forest: so
that our children will receive some
benefit from the forest in the future.
The Hon. Member, for East Huron,
(Mr. Hislop) said the other day that
on your right did not practice bribery
and corruption. I suppose the Hon.
Member from East Huron has read
the public papers and the returns made
by the Judges, which you, Mr.Speaker,
have presented to this House. Surely,
he has not forgotten that we had
bribery practiced in -Waterloo, South
Ontario, and West Elgin. Why, Sir,
if he has, does he not remember his
own connty ? Let me read you the
evidence which was given by a mem-
ber who at one time held a seat upon
your right (Mr. Bishop), giving evi-
dence as to the unseating of M. C.
Cameron being SWOrn, said:-" I am
Reeve of Usborne Township and a
member of South 'Thiron in the On-
tario Legislature. I took an active part
in the last election on behalf of Mr.
Cameron. I got $150 from McDonald.
He sent it in a letter and wished me
to pay Routley 880 and the balance to
Schmidt. This was during the week
before the polling. I spent some
money of my own for a team and re-
freshments. Paid $10 for a team to
fetch a voter from Bruce and $20 to
a voter from Darlington for his ex-
penses." Surely he has not forgotten
the bribery and corruption which was
un -earthed in South Huron. I would
like to read something to Hon. Gentle-
men opposite. I have here before me
clippings from papers, which have
supported Hon. Gentleman opposite
the last 20 years. CANADISCHER
KLONIST, refering to Waterloo and
Elgin says " A Band appears to have
been thoroughly organized who have
travelled from one constituency to an-
other t� practice bribery and corrup-
tion. That this gang did not spend
their own money is beyond question
and the question arises, where did the
money come from ? and from all ap-
pearance it was furnished by a corrup-
tion fund of the Reform Party and
that men who stand higher in the es-
timation of their Party must know
where the money came from. It is no
excuse to say that the Conservatives,
have been bad, as per an editorial
which appeared in last week's Globe.
The Reformers were not elected to
imitate the Conservatives. If the
Leaders of the Reform Party are free
of this scandle, it is their duty to pro-
secute the gang of boodlers, and set a
good exaMple and rid the party of
such men. A responsible Government
cannot stand in any country, which is
elected and hold office through corrup-
tion."
Yet, Mr. Speaker, we find men arise
in their place in this House, and say
bribery and corruption isnot practiced
by their party, If they will open their
desks they will find the report of
Judges which you presented to this
House, condemning followers and peo-
ple who haye been identified with ,the
Government of the day.

This government has paid for the
maintenance of township public school
$2238.00 less last year than they did in
1873, and it has been going back yea].
after year. Why, Sir, during the last
contest I spoke in a large number of
halls and school houses in my constit-
uency and I ask any gentleman in the
room, be he Reformer or Conservative,
if he believed the statement made by
the Minister of Education as to the an
lama cost of school books for children
attending Public Schools? ;tnd I have
yet to receive an answer from any in
teffigent man that, it does not cost
more to -day than it did years ago. I
hold herein my haud an authentic re
cord prepared by friends of ths Honor
able Gentleman in Ottawa. And wha
do we find? We find that the propor
tion paid by the Government and the
people to be as follows: -Proportion o

P. E. Island 79.63 20.37
We, therefore find, Mr. Speaker,
that in Ontario the Governraent pays
less to assist the farmers and poor in
educating their children than any of
the other provinces mentioned. This
is not as it should be when we are told
that 90% of the children of this Coun-
try never attend any other school. I
ask Hon. Gentlemen to brace up and
give more assistance to the public
schools of this Province and to relieve
the binder' of the poor people and
farmers. '
I had intended some time ago to take
up some time in discussing the Timber
Policy of this Government, but I will
drop a considerable portion of that to-
day. But, Mr. Speaker, I think at the
present time when we look at the
past policy of this Government, when
we consider the way they have been
tinkering with the timber policy of this
country, when we look around to see
the millionaires who have made them-
selves wealthy by the policy of this
Government from those limits when
that money should have gone into the
Public. Treasury of this Province,
say we cannot help but regret it. Had
this Government laid down a wise pol-
icy proposed by Mr. Meredith when he
was Leader of the Opposition in this
House, T say they would have thous-
ands of dollars of revenue coming into
this Treasury which we are not receiv-
ing at this time, do not wish to
weary the House by reading the whole
of Mr. Meredith's speech on the timber
question; but a portion of who t he se id
is this: "I arraign the Government of

Province of Ontario that there they
will find hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars which we do not believe is legiti-
mate expenditure, if we are telling the
country- this and we are decrying the
country' I hope, Mr. Speaker, we will
have more strength to keep at the de-
crying.
Mr. Speaker, if We tell the people of
this country that this Government
holds power by virtue, not of the hon-
est votes of the people, but lay the
fradulent obtained seats by stealing
the people's franchise and switching
ballots and if that is decrying the coun-
try, then I plead guilty of the crime.
When we tell the people of this
Province, Mr. Speaker, that this Gov-
ernment has got three mineral policies
one vvhere you can export and the oth-
er you cannot export, one upon which
you must pay a royalty and the other
where yon do not. If when we tell
the farmers of these different munici-
palities that this Government is com-
ing there and taking away a license
an is bringing it down here and put-
ting. it into the treasury instead of
leaving it there in the municipalities
for the purpose of relieving the bur-
dens of taxation of those people, if
that is decrying the country, then I
plead guilty of the offence.
If, Mt. Speaker, I inform the people
of Huron that this Government has
taken away $1,300 in one year from
the children of the public schools who
have written for High School Examin-
ations, and if when we tell the farm-
ers in the different constituencies of
this country that this Government
collies into our Country Treasury and
takes the money, which should remain
to assist in keeping the poor and erect
bridges, etc., if when we are telling
the people that they should not do
those things, we are decrying the
country, then I plead guilty of being
one -who has done that.
Further, Mr. Speaker, when we rise
and say to the people of this Province,
here we have a GOvernment which hits
taken $9,000 and given a monopoly to
three firms to print the school books
for us; if, when We get upon the public
platform of this country and tell the
farmers that this Government has not
been kale to its pledges in regard. to
binder twine, and tellthem that this
Government has not protected the
farmers against the monopolies of the
country anti that the hip;hprice of twine
last year was not caused by theadvrnce
in raw material but WaS 011 aeCOallt of
combine amongst those who held the
twine and that We belieVe it is wvong
that till., Go\ et:n=1,lb sheald ipadir
in bulk all the twine manufactured at
the Central Prison, to a firm in Toron-
to or London,but that it should be sold.
direct to the farmers and not pass
through five or six hands to have a
profit out of the farmers (the produc-
ers of this county.) If, Mi. Speaker,
that is decrying the country, why
will in the interest of the farmers,
have to keep on doing so. Then again,
Mr. Speaker, we tell the people this
Government passed an Act prohibiting
threshing machines being run at farm-
ers' places without spark arresters
and they themselves have, run a ma-
chine in Waterloo, Ontario and West
Elgin without spark arresters. If that
is decrying the country I plead guilty
of havieg done that.
If, Mr. Speaker, we take Bulletin 71,
issued by the Bureau of Industries of
the province of Ontario and by this
Government, in our hand, which shows
that Farm property is not worth to-
day what it was years ago. Farm
lands in 1883 were worth $654,793,025
and in 1898 $556,246,569, and total
farm property including land build-
ings, implements and live -stock in 18-
83 $961,128,505 and in 1808 $023,022,420
and the said Bulletin says chattle
mortgages held against farmers in
1889 amounted to $2,647,558 and in 18-
98, $3,580,497, and that the population
of the Townships were in 1889 1,130,060
and in 1898 1,110,891. If, Mr. Speaker,
when you tell the people that Hon.
Gentlemen are telling one story in the,
Country and upon the floor of this
House and that returns brought down
by them and issued to the people is
different and that the farmer is not
making the pow ess that they claim
they are, if that is decrying the Coun-
try 1 am guilty.
Mr. Speaker, we want to have a
place where the young men of this
Country can have a home in this fair
province. 1 have at present a young
hi
man in vieW who
as lived n the
County of Huron and went into the
District of Pane, Sound to make a
home, simply because he had received
pamphlets and other literature from
