Ela usain Mr, Smalls '0 eulogy of Bir Wilfrid Iturier, the Montreal Wit. u B n a — tr i frill Laurier . nesBsaB• s WI, French-Canadian, 01 whom French Comedians are justly proud, was Able to secure the deopaloh of the oontingonte with the least possible amount of racial frlotion. This ie what the Times nor. reaponcent points out in his latter; and it was pointed out by the Witness ea the time the contingents were sent and again when the matter vette debated in the Dominion Parliament. Sir Wilfrid Louder was the leader of thelrenob• Canadians, and all but a few followed hie lead in the matter. Mr. Bergeron, Mr, Oaegrain and Mr. Monk, all Conserva- bivos, eupported the sending of the oon• tinplate as loyally and patriotioally as Sir Wilfrid, and would have aupporbed Sir Charles Tupper had be been in power in sending the oontingente. Bat would any one of these Frenoh.eanadlan lead - ere have exeroieed one•half of the effective influence whioh Sir Wilfrid ae Premier was able to exercise ? To ask the ques- tion is to answer it. But the division on Mr, Bonrassa's ruction, in whiob as many Ooneervativee ae•Liberala voted with Mr. Boormaea, proves that the united inllu- enoe of the French Conservative leaders over their very email party was not any. thing like as effective as Sir WiIfrid's It was oar taint a Liberals. I w over the L Y most fortunate thing for Canada, for Great Britain, for the whole empire, and tor the oanee of Imperialism, that Sir Wilfrid Laurier was the Premier of Canada during the past five yearn." (Sir Richard Cartwright.) "Now air, in this question of capital expenditure, I desireto oall your attars. ors showing tion to s few significantfa g bow far the aeo0eation is justified that the present Government has been rook. lees in adding to the capital charges of this country. I have here our capital expenditure for the yeare 1804 to 1899. t late In18JLI find that he I t Government expended four and a half a t millions on capital anemia They added to the net capital debt. I find that in 1895 they added 95,891,0,00 to our capital debt. In 1899 they added 95,422,000 to our capital debt ; and I find that in 1897, under the Administration, we added in all 93,041,- 000 to the net capital debt ; in 1898 we n nations debt 2 41 000 of tided to our 1 7 R 9, whioh $930,000 was simply the discount of a 21.2 per sent. loan whtob Mr. Field- iug negotiated in that year. I find that in 1809, the year whioh is now closed, 010 total expenditure has been larger than usual, bat the total addition to our national debt wilt amount to one million of dollars, and no more. (Cheers.) Now gentlemen, if you will deduct the die. (taunt of the loan, whioh is in no respeot, the inorease of our capital debt, seeing that we obtained the loan at an extremely low rate, you will find that in three years -1897, 1898 and 1899—the total ad- dition we bave made to our capital debt amounts to 95,528,000, being ae nearly as possible one third of the amount whioh wee added to the net capital debt in 1891, 1895 and 1897. (Cheers.) Daring the four and a half yearn end- ing December 31, 1896, Canada exported to the United States alt told 3,762 cattle, receiving therefor 952,603. During the three years since the removal of the iarantine we have exported to tbe ' 503 cattle y nearl all I d -raise 25aglutte nuanited for the English market, and have received for them $3,740,066. Dur - log the last 18 months before the re. ntoval of the quarantine, the average price received wee 08.32 per head. Dur- ing the last 18 months of the period since the removal of the quarantine the aver. age pries has been 915 per head. In the opinion of Mr. Ironsides, of Winnipeg, one of the largest exporters in the trade, the added value resulting from the re. moved of the quarantine is at least 910 a head of the horned oattle now in the Dominion. The removal of tbe quaran- tine was eeoured by the farmer Mioietere of Agriculture—Fisher and Dryden. nRITIBII 00I.133I010'6 PROSPECTS. The pubtio debt of British Columbia in 1891 was 92,129,000, in 1890 aboat $5,- 000,000, an inorease in six years of near- ly 98,000,000. The revenue lin 1894 was $798,581; in 1899 it stood at 91,309,581. The expenditure in 1894 was 91,514,405 ; in 1899 $2,156,473. The estimated ex- penditure for this year is 9300,000 over last year's. The Victoria, B.,0., Times, discussing the budget speech, says : "The spirit of expansion has taken possession of the Province if the feelings of the members of the Legislature are any indioation of the sentiments of the people. In the budget speech delivered recently the Finance Minister informed the House tbat itis proposed to expend in the neighborhood of half a million dollars more than the estimated revenue, and soaroety a syllable was heard in pro• test. There is a general feeling that British Columbia is entering npoo a new era, and that the Government should do all in its power by spending money free- ly for development purposes to speed us along the road to greaser prosperity. The same tendency ie noticeable over the whole Dominion ; there is a spirit of national exhilaration in the air, our growing time has arrived and we are about to vie with our neighbors to the Southin the expansion business," The total inorease in the trade of Can- ada during the entire 18 years that the Conservatives were in office amounted to 969,000,000. The inorease in trade dor• ing the 4 yenta of Liberal rule was more than twice as mach as duriog the entire term of their predecessors in office, being 9134,000,000. Mr. Ironeidee, one of the largest mettle exporters la the Dominion, gays that as a result of removing the American quaran- tine, eeoured by the efforts of the Laurier Government, it increased the valve of the horned cattle in the Dominion by 946,- 867,100. The cold storage system, perfected and improved by the- Laurier Government, increased the export and value of butter, in tbree years, by $3,623,718.

Edward Blake. A SOLID HURON. Old Huron is a solid Liberal county and each of the three ridings are represented by men who were elected by large majorities. John Ale Millen, who Bits for the South Riding, has been a familiar figure in the 0om- moos for the past four Parliamenba. He is s representative farmer who never besitatee to express his views, whioh have weight with his fellow members, when agrioultural gneetioos are the snbjeot of debate, •He has been a lead• Ing member of the Agricultural Commit. e eleotion u n on th .tee for many d of Hoo. Mrears n.yBahl to the Speakership. was unanimously eleoted Chairman. East Huron is represented by Dr, Peter MacDonald, a clear thinker and an able and vigorous speaker, who is listen- ed to with attention whenever he rises to address the h House. He is a keen student of political affairs and readily grasps the salient features of any clues• Hon that may be under discussion. He has held the neat for three snoceesive Parliaments and the riding ie solid for Liberalism. Robt. Holmes, who was sleeted for 1898, a in the b e•eleoEion in West Huron ➢ i will again be the Liberal candidate at the general eleotion. The riding bas been Liberal since its erection in 1882, with the exception of Doe Parliament. Mr. Holmes, who is a newspaper man, is opposed by Robt, McLean, a cattle - dealer. Both are old residents of the riding and have large interests there, but Mr. Ho Impe defeated his opponent two years ago by a handsome majority, and the popularity of the polioy which Mr. Holmes supports has undoubtedly added to his strength ainoe the former eleotion.

Answer --Yes, thee undoubtedly bave, Q.—To what to this partioularly Go he rib ? art ned A.—Very largely to the feet that under the basinese-like administration of 'the department of agriculture by tbe Hou, n Sidney Either, it is now poaeible to a 0. oentrate agricultural produotion in Can- ada no that there ie an increasing available surplus which Bode s ready sale in the market of Great Britain. Q, -What steps were taken to this end?. A.—A workable system of oold storage, from the produoor to the consumer, was installed lit factories, on rafter, at central oold storage etatioos iu elbiea, and on steamships, as the result of induce• meats offered by the Parliament of ORO. ads on Mr, Fisher's recommendation, Q. -150w did this effect the butter trade, for example 2 A.—The net result ie, that while in the year ending June 30, 1896, the total exports of Canadian butter to Great Britian amounted to only 9893,053, in the year ending June 30, 1899, the total so exported was 93,525,007.

A.—No ; io•1890 the exports of cheese had a total value of $13,934,672, whereas in 1899 the total was three millions great. sr, or 918,718,418.

Q.—That looks as though the Cana- dian farmers were getting their share of the prosperity of the period 7 A.—Yes, it does, and it explains the almost unvarying support being given by the farming community to the Laurier administration. The following was recently received by Alex. Smith, of Wroxeter from his son in the Philippines :— DEAR FATHER,—Your letter of May 26, with oopiee of Tan Poen, Star and Ad. vertieer, arrived here yesterday forenoon and I was as usual very much pleased to get the letter and (papers; from (horns. The Star seems to be quite a newsy little sheet and I hope it may ooatinae so and I may see it often ss well as Ton Pon. The Advertiser is good for the news it contains of the Canadian oontingent10 South &trine, bat we get lots of papers from the U. S. of later date and with fuller a000i nts of all that is going on in the world generally and more especial• ly of what is of particular interest to Amerioaas, which ie all perfeotly right Canada seems to be having and proper. g quite an epidemic of fires this Summer and pretty serious ones too by all news- paper accounts. I have reason to be- lieve that we are bound for Taku, China, unless some settlement is arrived at very Boon. The 14th infantry is under or- ders to go and bas had new a000ntre- meots, arms and clothing lasted within the past 2 days. The 17th and 21st in- fantry are both assembling in town and I hear so is the 6th artillery. All tbese aro regular organizations. The volan• teere start with the 26th infantry, llth cavalry, infantry up to 40th, 24 regi - =ate, one of cavalry. It is also ;said that five regiments are to be sent to China direct from U. S. in addition to these three and a oompany of engineers from Willete Point in addition to Co. B. If tbis news is true Uncle Samuel must mean to take an active interest in world wide politics from now on, contrary to the conservative linea heretofore follow- ed. But the world wags and we have to wag with it or go under and the great Anglo-Saxon tongue is not going ander yet a while, even though both representa- tives of it are at present engaged in mili- tary aotivibiee which seemingly tax them pretty severely, yet the Stan and Teuton had better both be wary or they will be very surprised nations some of these fine mornings. Down in Batangas provinoe the Ladrones are causing quite a lot of trouble, but though they destroy gtite a lot of property they are gradually being shot down. Every day's tale is of five or six here, a dozen in another place and so on generally footing up about 40 or 50 every day. Of course our men do not al- ways escape soot free but in the past week there has only bean one fatality from meeting with bards of Ladrones. There have been several minor casualties, gunshot wounds, shattered bones and such like but nothing to really speak of. It is surprising to me to see how idiotic these Ladrones ars. They know abso• lately well that they have never met with etooess when rounded up by Amerioan soldiers no matter whether there were twice as many Ladrones as boys in khaki or ten times as many, and their strongholds ale being found out, rifled, broken tip 'and burned everywhere, yet they perelet. If they oars to work there is any quantity of it to be done at wages treble those paid by Spaniards. I sop- poge they will keep on however until they are all killed off, then the islands will be olear of them and the honest native can root eecnrely. Until then they will be lawful prey of the Ladrones, and the poor oreatness are afraid of the reprisals wreaked on them if they give any reformation, mach the same as the Ribbonitee did to those whet lodged in- formation in Ireland years ago. Well I've about emptied my budget of news so will stop and get my dinner ready, as I don't eat the regular grub any more un- til I get rid of my trouble, Love to all. Onrvan, Mon.
