oil question was also taken up and al-
though the Government had struck off 1
cent per gallon the price had gone up
owing to the combine, chiefly the Stan-
dard Oil Co. They granted them the
privilege of tank steamers by whioh the
railways were persuaded to give out rates.
There wee only one other producer who
could complete with the Standard Oil
Company. Mr. Diokineon called the
Emergency rations question one of
culpable negligence on the part of the
Minister of Militia who is worthy of
strongest condemnation. The Select
Committee's report was referred to and
he thought food a fraud both as to ingred-
ients and price and furnished at $2 a
pound witboat tender. Expenditure
was to be reduced, taxes out down and
debt wiped out according to Liberal
promises, but were never fulfilled. In-
dependence of Parliament was also one
of their mottoes and yet they have ap-
pointed M. P's to office and increased
salaries to Cabinet Ministers. Corrup-
tion was evidenced as instanced in West
Enron. He concluded a good address
asking the suffrages of East Huron
electors on election day.
Dr. MacDonald had 20 minutes to reply.
He said the Conservatives added more to
our debt eaob year than the Liberals did
in four years. The $4,000 for Emergency
Food and $4,000 of salaries to Ministers
is all Mr. Diokineon finds fault with in
his hour's speech. 176 million dollars
has been the expenditure of the Liberals
but 38,000 is all he oites as reoklese ex-
penditure, not a neat for every dollar
expended. We have no McGrevy or
Curran bridge scandal. Wholesale prices
of oil in 1896 were higher than they are
now as proved by the Toronto Rogers
Oil 0o. The Government has nothing
to do with the rise in the price of oil.
With the higher prices for butter, eggs,
cattle and cheese people are in a better
shape than ever. The Conservatives put
the sale of hinder twine in the hands of
=agent but he did not pat up the receipt
and there is a judgment against him for
a large amount. Our Government sold
the twine to the highest bidder and if the
purchaser of it put up the prise to the
consumer the Government as certainly
not to blame. How oonid the Govern-
ment with only 116 of the necessary
twine required corner the market ?
What farmer wants '7 million dollars
spent on the fast steamship line ? He
urged a hearty and united support for
Liberalism on Nov. 7th.
Hearty cheers were given for Mr.
Diokineon and a heartier ring for Dr.
MacDonald and even a bigger rouser for
Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The Chairman tried
hard to work in a Hurrah for Queen
Vioberia bob the crowd was on the move
and would not wait for Her Majesty's
due.

The large Town Hall was well filled by
2 o'clock with electors front the various
municipalities in the Riding and the
efternoon'e proceedings were orderly and
well conducted with few interruptions
as the speeches progressed.
Jno. Leokie was chosen chairman and
!poke a few befitting words to the occas-
ion, after whioh he called upon Dr. Mo -
Donald, the Liberal candidate, as the
first speaker. After referring to bhe
general prosperity in the Dominion he
went on to refer to promisee made by the
Liberals before assuming office. The
first' is the tariff. 147 articles have been
reduced ae on the old tariff, 50 on free
list and other changes made. 32i % has
been gained by the preferential tariff and
is of value to the purobaeer here both in
British goods as well as on those brought
from competing countries. Our trade
has greatly iaoreased with Britain.
They had fallen by millions under the
old regine and now at hae reached 45
million dollars. Our trade with U. S.
has also grown as a great deal of our raw
material such as cotton, coal and certain
kinds of wood come from them. Title
proves the activity in our factories and
manufaotories asthe import in raw
materials increase. Canada has been
better advertised before the world by our
granting preferential trade to Britain
owing to Canada being plead on their
list. In the next 14 years we will have
to borrow 70 millions to meet our debts
falling due and by a reduction of interest
will save a large sum of money.
England also cancelled ilia treaties with
Belgium and Germany.. The Conserva-
tives cut duty down from 85 to 20% on a
certain class of farm machinery by pres-
sure from bbe Liberal party. We reduced
other artioles from 35 to 25% in general
use among the working people. The
Conservatives will not wipe out the pre-
ferential tariff if they were returned to
office, nor would they raise the duty on
articles reduced by the Liberals. The
preference given to England governs the
price on articles purchased in other
markets. Another good rendered the
farmers by Liberal role was the wiping
out of the quarantine existing between
the U. S. and Canada. 80 head of Dabble
has been sent for every one formerly and
an increase of over $7 per head or over
2 million dollars being gained by this
wise move. Providence is oredited with
all the prosperity that exists under Sir
Wilfrid Laurier by the Conservatives.
Well, if Providenoe chooses the Liberals
ae its agents it would be well to retain
them in power. The butter trade was
dealt with along cold storage lines. Dr.
Montague, the Conservative minister,
made an attempt to work a cold storage
system, but he made a muddle of the
attempt and failed in both butter and
fruit owing to a wrong system. The
Liberals have put on foot such a thorn'
system of gold storage that our butter
beats New Zealand and stands nearly on
a par with the beat Danish butter. The
Government deserves credit for this at
the hands of every farmer owing to the
increased demand and greatly increased
prize in butter, cheese and fruits. Our
Government also deepened the oanala and
waterways so that our trade will be
handled by Canadian rather than Amer-
ican boats and railways. Similar good
work was done with the Interoolonial
railway and getting access to Montreal.
Weare making it pay and have now a
fine road, $184,000 of a defloit when the
Conservatives left offioe wiped out and a
half million dollars of profits received.
The wisdom of our Parliament was also
shown in the building of the Crow's Neat
Pass railway and the Canadian farmer
now supplies the 40,000 people in the
mining distriots of British Columbia
instead of all these 9oode being bought
in Washington Territory. We also got
50,000 acme of coal lands from the 0. P.
R, in this oontraot ; any other road has
the right to run over this road ; oleo to
oonbrol freight rates, valuable concession,
and were not to be obtained by the $5,000
par mile offered by the Conservative
Government. The. C. P. R. reduced
freight rates to 8 cents per bushel on
wheat, also reductions on flour, &o., was
another valuable boon obtained in the
Orow'e Neat road. A vigorous effort has
been established in scaurtng immigrants
for the great West and well known Can•
adiana wars sent to Europe and the U.
States and the exodus to the States has

The advantage of poeeessing a Kell -tog -
ton Weighing Machine can be bestappre-
oiated, of cortege, by those likely to re.
gaire one, and these, with a short
description, are pointedly set forth in a
circular letter to the "trade" which is
now being sent out, and which reads as
follows :
The Kellington Automatic Weight
Sorting Maoliiae is the first automatic
weighing maahiue ever invented for or.
dinary oommeroial purposes. The sim-
plicity of its mechanism in relation to its
working oapaeity is marvellous. Snob a
machine has been tong felt to be a nezee•
city to any industry or 0000ern where•a
large number of individual packages are
handled, and where aoouraoy of weight
in eaob paokage is desirable or neceseary
for the satisfaction of both seller and
buyer.
The machine was invented primarily
for the salmon canning trade of the Pa-
dua Coast, and for the purpose, first, of
enabling the canner to give an absolute
guarantee of the fall weight of each tin
of salmon. Under the present haphaz.
ard eyetem, light weights are avoided by
filling toward the other extreme. With
this maonine,light weights are pioked
out, and, in order to secure the largest
possible measure of economy, filling to
the oorreot weight can be stately adopted.
Supposing, from this, that there would
be a saving, on an average, of half lan
ounce of extra weight cm each pound tin,
at live cents per pound, it would amount
to $75 on 1,000 oases. Thus, on a ease of
96 half -pound tine, a saving of one-third
of an ouupe to each tin, at the Seine
price, would mean ten menta per ease, or
about one and one-half per cent. on the
ordinary .market value of eaob oaee.
The economy possible to effect, bene, is
self-evident. Besides the saving of
eaperfiuoae weight, the advantage of hav-
ing evenly filled oaee tendo to save leaks
in the eoldering of them, and the loss and.
expense attendant thereon, to say nothing
of the satisfaction of openly and turning
out evenly filled tine to the purobaser.
Briefly, the meohaniem of the maohine
may be described as follows.:—There are
ten balance beam scales, monnbed on a
rotary table, eaohworkiugindependently
The weight ball is on a beam towards the
centre of the table on whioh it is olid for
the adjustment of the varioue weights de-
sired, from zero point np to 48-ouooe
packages, on a standard -sized machine.
The packages are carried to the scale
on a belt carrier at the outer edge of the
table, whence a worm planes them on a
disc that is attaobed to the beam. At
the point of introduction, ae well as the
point of delivery of the packages, are
elideable bare, whioh lock the balances,
avoiding, thereby, a lateral presenre on
theta there and giving strength to the
machine. There to a take -off at one
point of the table having a defleotor ar-
ranged to remove light weight packages,
and another to remove the full weight
packages to a belt carrier.
The capacity of the machine is about
140 packages or tins per minute, or 80,-
000 in a day or ten bourn working, and
oa0 be driven by band or other motive
power. It ie a simple, easy working, and
durable machine, requiring no attention
other than that of oiling and ordinary
mare.
