THE GENERAL ELECTION.
The ninth Parliament of Canada was
formerly dissolved on Thursday last and
bas passed into history. The nomina-
tions of candidates for the new House
will be received on October 27th, and
polling iso to take place on Thursday,
November 3rd. The date of the last
general election was on November 7th,
1900. With the dissolution of Parlia-
ment, one of the old war horses, and
honored members of the House of
Commous, Sir Richard Cartwright, has
been anpomted to the Senate. The
Government will have the thanks of the
country for making the campaign a
short one. The time is convenient for
all classes, and the battle will be over in
sufficient time so as not to iuterfer with
Christmas trade, and farmers and others
will have leisure time in which to take
an active interest in the camgaign.
The standing cif the parties, when the
House was dissolved was—Liberals 129;
Conservatives, 77; Independents, 4;
waoant 4. In East Huron, the Liberals
are ready for the battle. The riding has
already been well organized and the
friends of good Liberal Government will
rally around their standard-bearer, Dr,
Macdonald, and see that he is again
placed at the head of the poll on Novem-
ber 3rd. The Liberals of East Huron
are fortunate in having a good candidate.
Dr. Macdonald has represented the riding
since 1887, and has won fame for him-
self in being in the front rank of the
prominent men of Canada, and during
the last Parliament was Deputy Speaker
of the House of Commons. Every
Liberal and friend of Dr. Macdonald in
East Huron must from this day to
November 3rd, put his shoulder to the
wheel and assist in giving the Liberal
candidate a largely increased majority.
PROGRESS IN THE WEST.
The Tory party has become the party
of the sunset while the Liberal party is
r the party of the dawn. Mr. Borden tells
his audiences of the great things done
long ago by Sir John Macdonald and Sir
Francis Hincks, while Sir Wilfrid
Leurier'e face is turned to the national
acoomplishmeats of to -day, that are giv-
ing Canada a position in the world not
dreamed of by that generation of men.
We all remember how, notwithstanding
the vast anm3 poured into the West
under Tory rule, that region remained
almost as void and empty as when it be-
longed to the hunter and voyager. If
people went in, many of them soon came
out, and those remaining were dissatis-
fied and dispirited by the failure that
followed on the heels of every new stroke
of policy adopted by Ministers who leg-
islated ata distauce for a community
they know little about. The recent
growth of the West cannot be better il-
lustrated than by comparing the home-
stead entries of the Inst five years with
the number in the closing five years of
Tory rule: -
1892 4,738 1900 7,426
1898 4,175 1901 8,162
1804,,...... 3.568 1902 14,673
1895........ 8,030 1903. 31,383

ins five time more rapidly under Mr.
Sifton's management than Oust of his
Conservative predecessors. Liberals do
not assert that their policy bas produced
the bumper crepe, the rise in the value
of laude and other phenomena of pros-
perity that are attracting British and
American farmers iu such numbers to
the West, but they eau truthfaily de-
clare that their policy has done nothing
to hinder the rush and a good deal to en-
courage it, whereas in former tinges the
country suffered immensely from un.
stable and unwise laws as well as from
the incapable administration of things in
general.
THE TWO SIDES OF' THE
STORY.
A Tory campaign document prints in
flaring type the Consolidated Fund ex-
penditure in the last fifteen years to
allow that Liberals have been "grossly
extravagant and wasteful." In the last
full year of Tory rule 1895.6 it was 537,-
000,000, in 1903 $52,000,000, ergo the
Government is wasting $15,000,000 a
year. Let us briefly point out what has
resulted from this extra outlay:
(1) The gross foreign trade of Canada
has risen from 5239,000,000 in 1896, the
last year of Tory rule, to 5467,000,000.
It is now four times greater tban it was
in 1868. To put it in auother way, the
gross foreign trade during the last seven
years of Tory rule, 1890.96, was $1,630,-
000,000. whilst for the seven years, 1897-
1903, of Liberal rule it has been 52,510,-
000,000.
(2) Population has greatly increased
sinoe 1896; immigration was never so
large and the exodus has practically
ceased. Meanwhile a very considerable
movement of Americans into Canada
has set in. Down to June 30 last, the
Amerioau immigrants to the Canadian
Northwest numbered 165,000. All that
country f8 being rapidly settled up, and
as its population grows the demand for
factory goods and general merchandise
from the older provinces increases.
(3) Liberals have added to and improv-
ed the Iutercolonial, the betterments
helping indirectly to promote interpro.
viucialtrade, which was never so great
in the history of the country.
(4) They have improved the St. Law-
rence route, are now providing a chan-
nel 30 feet deep between tide -water and
Montreal, have built canals west of Mon-
treal, and constructed minor works of
various kinds at other points, all with
the view of cheapening transportation
rates and so increasing the selling value
of Canadian products.
(5) They have opened the Yukon, pre-
served order there and aided in establish-
ing another market for Eastern goods.,
The abounding prosperity is due, of
course, to natural causes; but Liberals
can justly claim oredit for having, by a
wise readjustment of the tariff and other
measures, allowed industry full play and
done all that could have been done by
human means to advance the general in-
terests of the country.
(7) They have arranged for the con-
struction of a second transcontinental
road, which will cost the taxpayer little,
eusare competition and lower rates, and
open the back country of the older Pro-
vinces as well as a new country in the
West. From being on a side street
when the Liberals Dame in, Canada has
leaped to a front; and under the same
wise and progressive rule is bound to
grow apace in future.
(8) Notwithstanding the heavy expen-
ditures occasioned by this general boom,
the national debt has been kept down by
surpluses. In the last five full years of
Tory rule 1891-1896, when the country
was stagnating, it rose from 5238,000,-
000 to 5258,000,000, while in the last five
years of Liberal rule rule 1898.1903, with
everything and everybody prospering, it
has fallen from 5264,000,000 to 5262,000,-
000.
Who, then, would want to return to
the old days when the Tories legislated
chiefly for themselves and their friends;
when depression was the rule and people
moved out, and the rest of us spent the
time largely in sectional and sectarian
quarrels?
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Dr. Macdonald for East Huron.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier will speak at
Lucknow on the afternoon of Monday,
October 17th.
The Liberal committee room in the
Macdonald block is open every evening.
Drop m and 'haslet in the campaign.
The Liberals of East Xuron have
arranged a series of meetings to be held
in different parts of the riding. See
places and dates in the advertising
columns of this issue,
Mr. W. H. Kerr, editor of the Brussels
Post has been appointed Returning
O83oerjfor East Huron for the coming
elections. Mr. Kerr has all the necessary
qualifications for this important position
and will make a good official.
The Conservatives of East Huron
have oalled a convention to be held at
Brussels on Tuesday of next week,
Ocotober 11 th,for the purpose of nomina •
ting a candidate for the Commons.
Lt. -Col, Hughes will speak in the after.
noon and a publio meeting will be held
in the evening at which Mr. Hughes
will also speak. 11 is pretty generally
understood that Dr. T. Chisholm, of
Wingham will be the candidate nomin-
ated s this oonr$Iatime.
•
The next Parliament will have exactly
the same membership as the present one,
but the representation of every prioviuce
will show achange, excepting, of course,
Queboo, which never changes. The
following table shows the ohauges:
Old New
House House
Quebec 65 65
Ontario • 92 86
Nova Scotia .20 18
New Brunswick. 14 13
Prince Edward I 5 4
Manitoba 7 10
The Territories 4 10
British Columbia 6 7
The Yukon 1 1
214 214
The East thus loses ten seats to the
West, three of the seats going to Man-
itoba, six to the Territories and one to
Britist Columbia. The western repro -
'mutation, will, however, be grossly dis-
proportionate to the population long be-
fore the next redistribution takes place.
The redistribution following the census
of 1911 may give Manitoba and the
Territories together a representation
approximating that of Ontario.

Baptist Church will be withdrawn on

LAT* Stock Market..
Toronto, Oct. 4.—The average of the
cattle offering at the city market is still.
of a rather poor class, with only a load
here and there of choice stook available.
Business to -day on the whole was decid-
edly slow, and it seemed at a late hour
that quite a few cattle would be left un-
sold. The run was not a light one, con-
sisting of 91 loads, all told. These in•
chided eight loads of cattle from Mani-
toba, a little better class for feeding pur-
poses than the wild looking ranch cattle
brought from the extreme Northwest
points. There was also about 141oade of
cattle from Kentucky, owned by the
Nelson and Morris firm of Chicago, and
being sent through to the seaboard.

The Canada Business College,
CHATHAM, ONT.
is unquestionably Canada's greatest business
school.
No other school gets such RESULTS.
It is now current talk throughout the coun-
try that the student who wants the best train-
ing and a good position when graduated must
attend this school.
250 students placed. in year 1900.

860 0 ., u „ 1902.
875 „ „ „ 1908.
If these were placed in picayune positions
worth 13 or $4 per week, the showing would
not be worth the space in this paper that it
takes to tell it. But when the salaries averaged
over 1000 per annum, a few of them over 81000,
the public should know that no other business
school in Canada publishes such lista and gets
such
RESULTS
Many of our former graduates are now coin -
mending salaries from $2600 to $4000 annually.
