COLONIZATION ROADS.
Every time an Ontario election looms
up agreat deal ie said and heard about
Ontario government colonization roads.
In this particular portion of Ontario
where we have good roads little or no
notice hes been taken to the cernpaigu
literature denouncing the 6lawet
Goverment ou that lice. The electors
in older Ontario seem to have been
almost criutivally negligent in not
taking a deeper iutereat, but we pre.
sumo the great majority of farmers
in Huron have not personally seen or
de not personally know the ins and
outs and trickery of the re•apouaible
,heads of this fair Outario. len
It was our privilege, but not jour
great pleastu•e by any means to travel
over some 70 or 80 miles of e auitou-
lin Island recently.
In justice to the Ontario Govern•
went we might say that up to the late
Ontario elections Algoms was repro•
'rented by one Lyons, who now holds
an office, the gift of the Reform Party
-a registrarship, we believe. At the
last electious, the electors recognizing
that public monies -the people's
money -were being awarded to road
builders and other contractors for the
benefit of the party and without good
value to tele people, a change was made,
A. F. Campbell lreplacing Mr. Lyons.
Since a change has been inade the
policy of the Ontario Government his
been almost criminal neglect. Per-
sonal observation, practical experience.
and conversation with land owners
there ehouli be wor.th sometbiug
in coming to a just and defiuite cou•
elusion.
The point from which we started to
drive was a short distance from Gore
Bay. Our objective point was Silver
water, a distanceof 35 or 40 miles in
the direction of Meldrum Bay. After
driving a distance of about 20 miles we
were about four miles or so from
the starting point, with a span of 80
rods cf water intervening. The
Government have several times been
petitioned by the farmers to build a
swing bridge, at a coat of $5,000 to $7,-
000 across the navigable water, but the
Liberal Reform Party, with au alleged
surplus of several million dollars, have
ever been deaf to the loyal appeals of
the sturdy electors of that section of
the Riding. They committed the
"crime" of electing a supporter of the
honest Opposition.
We drove on. The roads we had
passed were kept in fair condition he-
caueesettlers were numerous and statute
labor accomplished the necessary work.
73ut many miles of the fair laud and
valued timber we were passing throng\
had few settlers.
The road had been originally cut
through by the Government and left to
the mercy of the heavens, or brides, for
ought we kuow, after the roadway
timber had been removed.
Contractors and foremen at extol.-
' Monate sums looked after the work.
Township Councils, we were informed
by settlers, would do double and better
work for half the money. Here and
there ancient corduroy crossings were
placed. All these are out of repair and
in a shameful state. At their best
they rnuet have been a disgrace to the
Government. A little grading would
have made them passable, but the policy
of the "pure party of Ontario" seems
to be to whip the yeomanry in•
to line.
The further we travelled the worse
the roads got --Government roads,
mind you. Here and there the horse
earned stone hille resembling etairwaya.
A jolt, a pull, a thud, a broken
vehicle, and one was on the top.
Talk about bad roads in this part of
Ontario. If Sir Oliver Mowat and his
partisan followers were driven over their
own Manitoulin colonization roads in a
lumber wagon the "Party of Purity"
would die a natural death from hard-
ship and distress. And if this would
not mend their disgraceful :waled the
Ontario electors would open the door
of retreat for thorn, once a ride was
taken over these pap coloniz itien rode
by houeat men. These roada on the
Manitoulin are a disgrace to civilization.
And the little "Christian Premier" ens
dorses it all.
Because the electors will not return a
Government supporter Sir Oliver and
his party have neglected to spend a
dollar fur theeectiou we passed through.
The alleged secret ballot is no use. The
next election will find many an honest
farmer on the Manitoulin practically
disfranohiseJ, because they will not
vote at all.

I31RI TA IN OUR MARKET.
THE News RECORD Lae received a
carefully prepared tabulated state•
went ft -um Hart & Tuck well, apple ex-
porters, of Montreal. ' The figures
cover the apple trade of Canada and
the United States with Great Britain
last year. Just how the Globe and
like papers can assert that the United
States is Canada's natural market for
apples we fail to see. We remember,
too, how our very wise town cotem•
pointed with pride to the fact that D.
Canlutou, of Clinton, shipped a few
car loads of apples to Boston, Portland
and New York. But these anti Cau•
adieu writers would not acknowledge
in any way that 219,727 barrels of
these same Canadian apples were re-
shipped or passed on to Britain. The
American is not our natural market
for apples, because they have a
surplue and export to Britain the satne
as Canada. Canadian apples invariab-
ly command a higher price in Britain
than do American. The reason is not
far to seals. Our apples are more
sound and of a superior flavor.
\Vhen dealers in the United States de-
sire to cater to a select trade in the
larger cities they buy Canadian apples
because as high a quality cannot be
procured elawhere. But there is not
a general or groat demand in the Unit-
ed States for Cauadian apples because
they have a surplus stock and are com-
pelled to export to get rid of it. Last
season we exported to Great Britain no
less than a grand total of 795,695 bar-
rels, 249,727 of these vial New York,
Portland and Boston, and the great
.bulk from Montreal and a small por-
tion from Halifax. Our alleged "natur-
al market,"the United States,exported to
Great Britain 407,843 barrels last sea-
son. This shows that Caned° exported
to Britain lust season 387,852 barrels
of apples more thau did the United
Stated. Our apples, like our cheese,
cattle, and many other things, find the
natural market only in Britain, Peo•
pie who contend that weshould'aell to
a country that exports the same class of
products are not far enough advanced
in their ideas to be of any service in
the building up of their own country.
In fact our fair Domi-pion could get
along much better without thein.
Britain is our natural market for
apples.

The spectacle of Mrs. Ball calling Mrs,

KEEING DOWN CHARGES.
Dieeuaeing Dominion finance, the
Montreal Herald eaye :-
" It would be worth something in
itself Lo have in power a goverulnent
that would keep the interest chargee ou
our debt within the present liruits,"
Let us see hots stands the record of
the two parties as concerns the interest
account of the Dominion.
In 1873 the net interest paid per
head was $1.31. In 1877. after the
Kve yeare' adminiitr$tion of the Mao.
enzie -Cartwright -Blake Government,
the amount of interest paid per head
was $1.58 -an increase of 27c. per head.
During title period the couutry had
little to show for the public expendi-
ture in way of public improvements.
The Canadian Pacific Railway had not
been started --only the steel rails bed
been purchased, at a net lose to the
Dominion of $2,000,000.
The present regime began in the
autumn of 1878, after the accounts for
that year had closed. In 1884 they
had reduced the net interoat paid per
head to$1.50, but by 1891 the amount
bad increased to $1.76 -an increase
over 1878 of 19 cents per head .
Bravo ! A telling reply, indeed 1 But,
after all, what proof does the Exposi-
tor give to back up the above or its
former reek ltseessertionsl None what-
ever, The writer has been an
Orangeman for many years and was a
member of the Order before ho ever
engaged in business. His people on
both sides of the house, for generations
back, are built that way and ho is riot
ashamed of it. We take no credit to
ourselves because we are a member of
the Orange Society. We are not a
member because our forefathers were,
but from conviction, believing, as we
do, that there is need for such a noble
Institution, an Institution whose mem-
bers, Grit and Tory, we believe are
ever ready to guard against the assassin -
like attempts of all oily -tongued
journals like the Expositor to fasten
the fangs of odium and slander onto
a worthy institution and its old and
tried members.
What interest for the welfare of
Orangeism has our now zealous cotem.of
Seaforth over shown for the Order, or
Protestantism, for thatmatterl During
the lastOnterioulections,where was the
professed Protestant Expositor to be
found1 Why, as every member of the
Orange Society in the County of Huron
knows quite well,he was found working
tooth and nail for the papacy 1 He
at that time, as now, placed party away
ahead of hie boasted Protestantism. And
now he comes out as an Orange
Champion!
What does this all mean t The editor
of the Expositor has had his sharp eye
on South Huron for some years. He
may he a candidate at the next Ontario
elections. It is a well known fact
that he has been fishing for the position
now held by Mr. A. L'ishop. And
he has fished before for the position
now held by farmer John McMillan in
the Dominion Parliament. If he
could secure enough Orange votes
ho would be elected independent
of many party grit partisans to
support one of the most successful
political tricksters this fair Ontario has
ever known -Sir Oliver Mowat. The

to authorize banks of trine to establish
branches in various parts of the
country if they deemed it advisable s'a
to do, limiting the number of branches
to. Ono for each hundred thousand
dollara of capital and eurplua. Mr.
Weir says that such a measure would
remove the present stringency within
twenty-four hours.
In other word., the Grits while in
power increased the rate of interest
27 c. per head, with nothing to show
for it but an increase of the public
debt to cover annual deficits in the
revenue. The Conservatives, while in
power, have increased the interest 19
cents per head, but with the Canadian
Pacific Railway to show for it, and the
vast development of the country which
it has been the parent of.
We imagioe that a Governrnet that
has accomplished so much for Canada'
at so little outlay to the individual in•
habitant might be intrusted not only
to keep the interest charges within the
present limit'', but to keep on reducing
the burden of taxation as they have
been doing the past couple of years, by
sweeping off, as in the case ut sugar,
$3,000,000 a year.
The Grit Government put extra
duties on tea and coffee, and the Con-
servatives took them off. They have
aleo built the greatest railway in the
world, have unproved the canal system
so that, it is the greatest canal system in
the whole world ; they have paid $6,•
000,000 for a rebellion in the North-
west fomented by their politicaloppen
ents ; they have given every city and
town public buildings suitable and
creditable in every ways; they have struck
off $5,000,000 of duties, and yet have
only increased the iutereat charge by
19 cents per head.
If this is not a good financial record,
the deil's in't !
The electors of South Huron for the
Ontario and Dominion aro aware
of all that has tranapired for years.
Particulars, which we may give in a,
future issue,will notplease the new pro-
phet of the E.epositor.
Every position the writer has or at
present occupies in the Orange In-
stitution has been awarded him by the
express will of the "rank and file"
whom the Expositor so deceitfully
pleads for. The wily Esposito/.
attempts to draw a herring across the
track in order that ho may secure a
triumph for himself at the expense of
the Orange Order. The game won't
work. The members of the Orange
Order throughout the whole of Huron
county know, se we know, that
the .Expositor deliberately lies in
its statements and that its previous
article was equally untrue.
Heretofore we placed considerable re•
liance in the utterances of the
Expositor, but since our one-time
respected friend has wantonly frrlsi-
fied facto after the wrong had been
pointed out, Tun NEWS RECORD can
only say that we meat hereafter have
proof before we can believe its state•
rnents. The Expositor is a partisan

THE CANADIAN HORSE FOR
ENGLAND.
The Canadian horse is all-powerful
and all desirable. The States deinand
the light hack, the saddle horse and
the carriage horse, and England re-
quires a heavier style of horse for train•
way and cartage purposes. There
have been a good many shipments of
the heavier horses to England during
the pest two years and they have found
a satisfactory sale. The Empire has
been favored with a letter from Mr. D.
Duff, Manager of the London Road
Car Company (Limited), 9 Grosvenor
Road, \Vestmineter, in which he says :
"Cousignmenta of Canadian horses have
recently been landed at the port of London,
and found ready purchasers in the large
omnibus and tramway companies. The class
of horse moetty in demand in London for
this kind of work Le a crops between a light
Clydesdale sire and a thoreughhred mare, or
vice versa. Size from 15.2 to 16 hands,ageD
55 to 7 years, and wail as much substance asst
can be obtaiued in horses of that class."
Mr. Duff adds : "I am of the opinion
that a much larger trade in horses
should be possible between your conn
try and the large centres of population
in Great. Britain on terms which would
be advantageous to both sellers and
buyers," This testimony, coming from
a purchaser and the representative of a
portion of the doniend, is both encour-
aging and instructive to the Canadian
farmer and the breeder of hordes. .
A PROPOSED REMEDY.
CURIIE1VT TOPICS.
Ilon. Mr. Laurier will begin his
Ontario tour on September 5 in North
York.
The latest and moat nonsensical
charge by tha Grit press is that mem
baits of the Government "do not rub
againat the ordinary herd or breathe
the same air as the common people."
The Hon. J. C. Patterson has been in
the West Riding for several weeks and
breathed the same healthful Huron air
that all classes of this section have
breathed for years. Either the air or
the gentleman's visit has affected seri
ouely several grit writers -among them
the Godericb and Seaforth organs.
Tbeso dog days, uo doubt, will explain
the ravings of these partizan writers.
Mr. 'Weir, president of the Ville
Mary Bauk, Montreal, and one of the
oldest Canadian bankers, addresses an
open letter through the press to the
President and Congress of the United
Statue on the financial situation. Mr.
\Veir expresses the opinion that the
National Bank Act of the United
States is the principal cause of the
present financial trouble. He suggests
as a measure of immediate relief that
Congress pass an amendment to its
bank act, providing that all chartered
banks in the United States whose
capital and surplus amount together' to
$1,000,000 and upevards shall bo de-
clared to be banks of issue, and be
authorized to issue circulating notes of
the denominations of $5, $10, $20,
$50 and $100 to the extent of half
their capital and surplus, such issues
to be a first line upon the aesote of the
bank in case or ite suspension, the
issue to be freo from any federal and
state tax, but to be liable to an assess-
ment of not more than one per cent.
per annum, should euob be required to
redeem the notes of a euependod bank.
Banks of issue to be obliged to keep

Canadian manufacturers of farm im-
plements have just closed a successful
year's operations. The annual output
of their fouudries has been closely sold
up,there having been an unusually good
demand. Ontario, Manitoba and the
Northwest were the best customers,
though eastern Canada bought liber•
ally, and a cooperatively large quantity
of machinery found a foreign market.
Tho condition of the crops throughout
the country indicates that collections
during the approaching autumu will be
rather above the average.

The Chicago Herald has a highly
appreciative account of Canada's ex-
hibit at the World's Fair, in which it
says : "\Vith all the enterprise and
competitive spirit of her Yankee cous-
ins, Canada has made a display at the
World's Fair which admirably serves
its purpose et illustrating the natural
and developed resources of her vast
territory. No departmnent of the exe•

Mr. Wm. Sullivan, an old resident
of Carleton county, has received a
letter from his daughter, lire. IIiram

tractiemade:-"Therehasnovor been in
the history*of Dakota anything like
these hard times. There is no money
and nothing doing. In some placre
there will be scarcely any crop -not
enough to pay for seed -as it is no dry.

think, father, you would be very fool-
ish to leave home to come hero. The'
winters are so cold; I have never
saw anything like it. I cooked nearly
all winter with mittens on. I don't
know what will become of this country.
The miners are coming here in droves
and they can't work. They say four
weeks will finish all that has to be
done, and then there is nothing to be
done all winter. No persona could
