THE MASK TORN OFF
Liberal papers inc squealing because
a 'Conservative campaign sheet- 0c:insist-
ing chiefly of conipliCatiOns frona. the
, 'Globe .between 1b1.- yetws 1380 and 1900;
, has been issned bearing the heading
"Prom the Crlebe " the naine of the, pa-.
per being er fircsitnile-of the Globe head,
Mg.; .The.squeal is. not the result ol
grief Or contrition, over the tortuous
.conrse of the Globe and its party,Which
renders it possible; to fill whole pages
with copious extracts from the Globe
on 'both sides of most questions. No,.
there is not 4 sign of repentance; they
iire simply enriig-ed. at 'any one using
such a striking, method of. exposing
„Globe hypocrisy, The Globi. Itself
dodges the issue by el:riming not to
have Milne to verify the co:rotations,
while the other. Liberal paPers yell
..frantically that theY are ."forgeries,"
and put on an ifi-fitting counterfeit ot.
virtuous indignation at such a deed as
to eXpose the Globe's crookedness un-
der its own heading. The din is raised
ni the hope of dissuading the people
from reading the collection of proofs
.of Liberal hypocricy; hence their ab-
horrence of the revival of past memor-
ies. Bnt let, the knaves squeal. Their
fuss and cackle will only make the
public more curious to see this partic-
ular campaign sheet, which of course
does not deserve their abuse, its con-
tents being, as the large display head-
ing on the front page states,, "Utter-
ances of Sir Viifiicl Lanrier, Sir Rich-
ard Cartwright, other Liberal leaders,
and the Toronto Globe --Verbatim Ex-
tracts from columns of the chief Lib-
eral organ." To call the quotations
"forgeries" is a no avail; day and
. date of every extract are given, and
if forgeries were passed of, they would
invite their own exposure. Don't ne-
gle.ct to see this campaign sheet of
Globe selections. All who believe in
the practice of good faith in public as
well as private life Will find music in
the squeal of unmasked hypocrits.
BINDER TIF
The editor' af theBrussels Post very
-clumsily endeavor's to score a point,
for the Laurier Government by aver-
aging the prices of Binder trviue dur-
ing eight.years of Conservative reign
and four years of Reform administra-
tion. The figures are not correct by
any means, but granting they are
where he scores the point We fail to
see. However, let uesum up the sit
nation at his own figures and then we
shall endeavor to give a history of the
Grit government transactions in bin-
der twine. He says:—Under the Tory
rule; prices for mixed twine, equal to
Canadian Red Pap, were as follows:—
Cents
per lb.
1889 ....... 16 1-2'
1890 14 1-2'
1801 13
1892 12
1893 11
1894
1895 7 1-2
1506 7 1-2
Average, 11 3-8 cents.
Under Liberal rule; prices for Ontario
'Govern MEM t twine, made of pure Ma-
nila as navertised in hundreds of news-
papers:—
Cents
per lb.
1897 6 1-2
1898 6 1-2
1890 9 1-2
1000 ..... ...... 11
Average, 8 3-8 cents.
It willbe clearly seen from 1889 to
1896 twine was on the decrease, but as
soon as the Grit government assumed
office the tables turned, taking an up-
ward course and continuing to the
present year, hence there can be DO
credit aimed on that score: Let us
now go into the matter a little more
fully and give the facts.
In the year 1896 the Grit government
sold 1,000,000 pounds for $4.66 per 100
lbs. The twine cost $4.60 to make,
and the price to the farmer was $11 to
$13 per 100 lbs. In 1897 another 1,-
000,000 pounds were sold for 84.66 per
100 lbs. The cost was $4.43 to /nal ci,ancl
the twine reached the farmer at from
$11 to $13.per 100 lbs. In 1898, 1,000,000
pounds were sold, at $4 per 100 lbs.
The cost was $4.72 to make, and the
twine reached the farmer at from $14
to $15 per 100 lbs. In 1899 the govern-
ment sold 1,000,000 'pounds for $6.51
per 100 lbs. The twine cost $6.25 to
make, and sold to the farmer at from
$14 to $15 per 100 lbs. Regarding the
transaction of 1900 the Government
refuses to give any information at all
on the various transactions. $191,000
WaS paid to the government for twine
and taking the lowest price which the
farmer was charged, the lot brought
in just 8500,000, there vvas thus a pro-
fit of $308,000 in thedeals. Everybody
knows that the :Laurier G overn men t's
management of the pen i ten tiary twine
business has been a )nelanekoly peice
of bungling, resulting in the loss to the
farmers who had to pay exhorl)itant
prices for the twine, and correspond-
ing profit to the ring who, profited by
tbe "ralCe off." The farmer will doubt-
less manifest his binder twine feel it*s
on Nov. ith, and it won't be in favor

will feel it as no Canadian ever dream-

The Mail's Forecast,
„rj11, 1,01 onto M mil tnd Empire some
days'since instructed its correspon-
do,uls in the Various ridings of the
eight Provinces of the Dominion to
. forward an impartial report of the
prospects of the several candidtes.
-Chese reports indicate that the Con-
servative party will ca,KrY every Pro-
vince with the exception of Quebec
New Brunswick breaking even. There
are in the Dominion House 213 mem-
hers. The Province of Ontario has
02 members: Quebec, 05; Nova Scotia,
20; New Brunswick, 14; Prince Ed-
ward 'island, 3; Manitoba, 7; 'British
Columbia'6, and the North-West Ter-
ritories, 1. From a political point of
view, the last House was divided as
follows:—There were 129 Liberals and
76 Conservatives, while of the 11 1.n.
dependents, 10 commonly voted for
the Government, and the one with the
Opposition. That is to say, Sir Wil-
frid Laurier usually had a majority
of 59, and would have had a majority
of 39 even if all the Independents had
coalesced with the Conservatives.
In Quebec, the Liberals held 51 of
the 65 seats. The vigorous campaign
which has been contbacted in the Pro-
vince in the interest ot the Conser-
vatives will, however, result in this
majority of 37 being cut in three. If
Laurier secures a majority of 11 he
will be doing better than is expected.
Ontario in 1806 and the by-elections
returned 45 Liberals and 40 Conserva-
tives, but 7 so-called Independents, all
of 'whom, on all party questions, have
been supporters of the Government.
The representation was therefore:—
Liberals, 52; Conservatives, 40.
According to reports received by the
Mail and Empire the Conservatives
are certain of redeeming fourteen
seats, so that the representation from
Ontario in the next House will be:—
Conservatives, 53; Liberals, 39.
In Nova Scotia the Liberals returned
12 of the 20 members. These figures
will be reversed, and the Conserva-
tives may possibly capture 18 seats.
The fourteen seats belonging to New
Brunswick were in 1806 distributed as
follows:—Six went to the Liberals and
eight to the Conservatives. One of
the latter will likely be carried by the
Liberals, leaving the representation a
tie.
Of the flye seats allotted to Prince
Edward island the Liberals occupied
three and the Opposition two in the
last House; the Conservatives will re-
verse this proportion, and even expect
to do better than that.
In Manitoba it is altogether improb-
able that the Liberals will be able to
retain more than one of the seven
seats; they will be lucky if the keep
that. ' The Conservatives, on their
part, under the able leadership of Mr.
Hugh John Macdonald, are looking
forward to a clean sweep of the Pro-
vince. In British Columbia the Lib-
erals four years ago returned four of
the six members. They may return
one this year, but even this is doubt-
ful. In 1896 the North-west Terri-
tories elected two Liberals, one Con-
servative and one Independent. This
year four Conservatives will be elect -

TARTE'S INCENDIARY APPEAL.
Mr. Tarte has given another example
of Satan rebuking sin by causing to be
distributed throughout Quebec it cam-
paign pamphlet which while accusing
the Conservatives of imnenting, a raci-
al campaign is itself a most insidious
kippe al to the racial prejudice ,of the
French-Can;nlians. '`Our adversaries,"
the painphlet says, "forgetting that
the Province of Quebec kept Sir John
A. Macdonald in power for nearly a
quarter of a century. have doomed to
ignominy the French-Canadians, be-
cause they have given their confidence
to Sir Wilfrid Laurier. ID all the Eng-
lish provinces the watchword is 'No
French Prime Minister.' Sir Charles
Tupper and those who surround him,
his bodyguard, his organizers, have no
other cry than the continuous defama-
tion which they have undertakeu
against the French-Canadians' and
against their public men. From one
end of the country to the other we are
represented, as an inferior and disloyal,
race, unworthy of enjoying the privi-
leges of British citizens." "Mr. Tarte,"
says the pamphlet, "has the right to
fly the trocolor, and as he has himself
declared he will continue to fly it just
as all the French-Canadians will fly it
whenever and wherever they please.
The British flag is the flag of our politi-
cal allegiance; the French flag is the
flag of our nationality; we are :faithful
to both." Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the
great apostle of "peace, union and fra-
ternity," is the head of the organiza-
tion that is issuing this rank appeal
for "a solid Quebec," on the ground of
social feeling. Enough said.
The Imperial authorities ha ve order-
ed from the Canadian firms, 1,000 fur
caps and 1,500 pairs of gloves for the

Ceylon and India have lately com-
menced producing Green Tea Which is
said by Experts to be the most delic-
ious Green Tea which has even been
made by any Country in the World.
These Green Teas resemble the very
finest Japan Teas but are very .much
stronger and therefore are more eco-
nomical ill use, iinct what is better than
this, they are entirely without artifici,
al colouring which no Japan is, it al-
ways being colored with Prussian
Blue. You can get Green Ceylon and
