The present Liberal Government WAS elected on a definitely stated platform which met with the views or honest men in both political parties. They made great proiniees. Here are a few of them: - They promised us a teriff for revenue only. They have not Rivets it to vs. They promised to reduce the expen- diture of the Government by several million of dollars. They have increas- ed it by many millions. Theeepromised to enormousey reduce the nattortal debt. They have enote mously increased it. They promised to clean this country of corrupt practices in elections. They have not one so, but. in many cases, have brought disgrace upon the party whet:en:lute they bear. Theypromised to stop the practice of appointing members of Parliameut to positions in the Government. They have followed this same practice in a mote shameful Planner. The Review as an independent Lib- eral paper, has repeatedly protested against the mistakes of the leaders. We do so again, and in this weave not alone in this constituency. During the past month scores of old time Liberals here have stated posi- tively that they would use neither their influence nor theie votes to return their party to power with its present false leaders. We would not like to see the Liberal Government turned down at the next election.

The Apple Cro-re During the three days sittings of the National Apple Shippers' Association at Cleveland, Ohio, letters and tele- grams were received from every fruit, growing section of the country, and from these it is estimated that the apple crop this year will be the largest in the history of the United States, exceeeding that of 1890, when sixty million barrels were gathered. In Can- ada there will be a fair to good crop, according to latest reports, but not such a record-breaking yield as report- ed in the United States. Owing to ths enormous crop across the border, how- ever, prices here will be ruled a great deal, thereby, which means that they will be necessarily low. It is thought that a dollar per barrel for the fruit will be all that should be paid for con- tra.its of winter stock in view of the heavy supplies expected on the mar- ket. In regard to the friture of the apple export trade, Mi. Chas. Foster, of New York, speaking at the above Convention, said :--."We must pack our apples better and help upbuild the business that has lost some caste through carelessness and indifferent grading and packing. The grower mast learn to know that fruit as it leaves his hands is only half sold. Any discredit; cast upon the dealer through carelessness on his part must and will eventually Te -act upon the producer who packed the goods. With all interest properly &larded, from the titne the fruit is packed until it finds itself on the table of the • consumer, there is no reason why the export trade cannot be materially increased and mademore.profitahle. Goriven- Mons like this are designed for the pur- pose of uniting the trade in the correc- tion of evils, and the development of all that is best along the line ef safety and profit, 'both to shipper and grower. Conservative first value, re -enforced by honest and careful grading and packing, will count, much for success. The choice of markets follows a study of ruling conditions at home aud abroad. The foreign trade will rarely take what cannot be dieposed of at home. but it certainly will accept and pay a fairly: remunerative'', value for stock that is worth sending to itely good market." e My friend, look here! you know how weak and nervous your wife is. and you knew that Carter's Iron Pills will relieve her, now why not be fair about it and buy her a box ?

Last year by this time a large number of orchards had been pur- chased and a big price paid for the fruit. No buying has been done yet this summer and none will be done for two or three weeks to come. A large number of the apples barrelled last fall were very badly put up and they would not stand the test in the old coutittk market, and besides this deal- ersiestectteo iiiuch money for them, and lost thousands of dollars.
