A CHARACTERISTIC ARGU. MENT. A Tory campaign book sets forth that in 1902.3 "Amerieaus bought from Can. ada 62 cents worth of merchandise per head of population, whereas Canadians per head of population bought from the United States about $2146 worth." Further, "per head of population the .Americans bought only about ten cents worth of Cauadian farm produots, while Canadians bought from tine United Stated about $2 99 worth of the same kind of farts produots per head of popu- lation." The Tory writer seeks by this argument to show the necessity for in- creasing the Canadian tariff on imports from the States. The readers wiLl at once note the fallacy involved in reduc- ing imports to a per capita basis when of the two countries interested one contains about six, the other eighty million of people. But 1 et us meet then campaigner on his own ground by reversing the process and dealing not with purchases but with sales. Our exports (sales) of all kinds of goods to the United States iu 1903, came to $72,000,000. That is to say, if there are six million Canadtans, each Cana- dian sold $12 worth of stuff to our neighbors. Their exports (sales) of all kinds of goods to Canada iu 1903, amounted to $138,000,000. Iu other words, if there arcs 80,000,000 Amerieaus each American sold to Canada $1.70 worth of merchan- dise. Coming to agricultural products alone, including auitnals and their produce, oar exports (sales) of those commodities to the United Stated last year were $9,000,. 000 or $1.50 per capita. Their exports (sales) of like commodities to us were valued at $16,000,000 or 20 cents per head of their population. Cousequentely each Canadian sells seven times more agricultural products to the United States than each American sells to Canada, and the same results work out in the case of exports at large, that is to say, each Canadian sells seven times more to them than they sell per head to us. The Tory argument turns ont, therefore, to be a kicking gun. Of course, the per capita basis is not a sound basis; it can be made to prove anything. It suited the campaigner's purpose to employ it iu the case of pur- '"hases, but it is obviously Inst as far to employ it in the case of sales, whereupon he is at once driven up a tree. THE PREMIER'S DISLOYALTY. One of the favorite Tory cries is that, being a French Canadian, Sir Wilfrid Laurier takes no sort of interest in the Canadian militia, but would starve it to death if he could. The figures in the case do not warrant this cowardly impu- tation on the Premier. From 1868 to 1896 the total expendi- ture of all kinds on the militia was $43,- 750,000. This included the cost of repel- ling the second Fenian attack and stip- pressing the half-breed insurrection in the North-West. From 1897 to 1904 the expenditure $23,865,000. There were no extra out- lays during this period. To compare the last seven years of Tory rule, 1889 to 1896, with the seven years of Liberal rule from 1897 to 1904, the figures are:— Tory seven years $12,352,000 Liberal seven years , ...23,865,000 Liberal excess $11,513,000 This may be cited as evidence of Lib- eral extravagance, if yon like, but it completely disproves the charge that Sir Wilfrid Laurier has purposely ne- glected the militia. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The offer of Russia to pay $46,000 in- demnity for the seizure of Canadian seal- ing vessels off the coast of Siberia, 13 years ago has been accepted by the Do- minion Government, Sir Thomas Shaughnessy stated at Winnipeg Tuesday that the 0 P. R. has expended $32,000,000 in improve. ments in the past three years, and that the Dominion can absorb and give em- ployment to 500,000 people a year for many years to come. Sir Wilfrid Laurier's remark when questipned about the probability of elections, that "Lord Minto does not return to Ottawa till the first of October." means that there will be no immediate announcement of the Minis- terial policy in this connection. Every- one looks for an election, bat there will be no dissolution until after the Gover- Ajier's Sometimes the hair is not properly nourished. ft suffers for food, starves.

The Editor does not hold himself responsible t for the opinions expressed by correspond- ents. Nor does ha always hold the same views as expressed by (ort espondents. Time to Say Something. To the Editor of the Tints:— The 1904 Council are having a soft soap. They will soon think they are the best yet. Don't they blunder or make auy mistakes? Perhaps a little mild criticism won't hart them, Why are not some of the $y -Laws enforced? Spitting on the sidewalk, for instance. Then what about burrs, and other nox- ious weeds; the Town is full of them, going to seed. At last meeting in the financial report an item of ,,72 00 for inspecting sidewalks appears. In 1902 we had an Inspector, and got some very bad walks. Iu 1903 we had none, and doable the wales were built than were built this year. Now the 1903 wales are better as to grad- ients,au3 app ear as good or better in other respects. The foremau's experience is snail that his judgment, with the advice of the street committee, will do better than can be had from inexperienced dictation, Besides the guarantee covers everything. The $79.00 is lost,—well that's all, now. I see that in some towns they are pass- ing By -Laws to stop boys and loafers sitting in front of stores. Would like to see this tried in Wingham; it's badly needed. But then what is the use of By -Laws if they are never enforced. Yours, eta, Cilrrio. CHURCH NOTES.

Toronto, Sept. 13: -The run at the city cattle market to -day was 66 loads, with 888 head of cattle, 2,158 sheep and lambs, 218 hogs and 82 calves. The light ran was the principal factor in keeping prices about steady. While there was a good market for choice butcher cattle, and not enough of that class to supply the demand, the trade for ordinary common butcher cattle was slow, drovers feeling, however,that they could afford to wait until prices came more their way. Export—Trade was not particularly brisk, only a few lots offering. The market, however, was steady to firm, one good load of export selling at $4.95. A good load of light export sold at $4.50. There is a little better feeling in the ex- port market since the end of the Chicago strike. The range Battle from the North- west are now not so likely to compete in the regular export trade, and prices in consequence are a little firmer in Chi- cago and in the local market. Butchers—Trade was slow for common to medium cattle, but a good demand for choice cattle, and prices firm at $4 to $4.30. Stockers—Business a little quiet, with light offerings, but a fair enquiry for good feeders, 1,000 to 1,100 pounds, at $3.G0 to $3.80; stocker bulls 1,050 to 1,300 pounds, at $2.75 to $3, Sheep and lambs—Lambs are lower; but export ewes firm, with prospects higher. Lambs quoted at $4.25 to $4.60; export ewes at $3.75 to $3.90. Hogs—Light run and maket lower at $5 to $5.25. The following are the quotations: .

But when the salaries averaged over $000 per annum, a few of then over $1900, the public should know that no other business school in Canada publishes such lists and gets such RESULTS Many of our former graduates are now com- manding salaries from $2500 to $4000 annually.
