POLITICAL- MATTERS.
Forward, Canada!
Laurier, Macdonald and victory!
Vote for Laurier, Macdonald and four
years more of prosperity.
The Liberals of East Huron will have
an excellent opportunity of heariug Sir
Wilfrid Laurier in the Opera House, on
Monday, October 17th at 11 o'clock
a. M.
The Liberal nnmmittea, room in the
Macdonale billet is open every evening,
and all Liberals and friends of Dr. Mac-
donald and the Laurier Government are
Invited to the meetings.
Thepublic debt increased under Cou-
servative rale from $34 49 per head in
1879 to $50 82 per head in 1896 Under
Liberal rule it has decreased to $46 69 iu
1904.
The generation of Conservatives who
bungled their use of power previous to
1896 will never get in again. They have
got to make way for new men before
their party can again be taken seriously
by the people. -Toronto Star.
Think of the condition of this country
n 1896, and then decide whether the
botchers and bunglers in the Cabinet
'tithe were too busy fighting among them.
,'selves to attend to their duties, ought to
be given another chance to make another
mos of things.
At Simcoe on Friday, Mr. John Charl-
ton announced his retirement form poli-
tics on account of ill -health, and Mr.
Hal. B. Donly was given the Liberal
nomination for Norfolk county. Mr.
Donly is a well-known newspaper man,
being the editor of the Simcoe Refor-
mer.
The Liberals of East Huron are well
organized and will give Dia Macdonald
an increased majority on November 3rd.
Dr. Macdonald will commence his meet-
ings on Tuesday evening next at Blyth.
See dates for other meetings in oar ad-
vertising columns. The meeting an-
nounced for Whitechurch for next
Monday evening has been withdrawn

Mr. J. H. Bnrritt of Pembroke, so-
licitor for Mr. D orae Hale, was iu To-
ronto Last week attending a Masonic
meeting. Mr. Burritt, who, by the way,
is a Conservative, emphatically denied
that Mr. Hale in his examination for
discovery had said anything about the
expenses of the Liberals in the North
.Renfrew bye -election amounting to $40,-
000.

At the South Huron Liberal couveu-

Commons. Mr. Geo. lileEweu,, of
Heneall, was the Liberal member is the.
last Parliament.
Abounding prosperity throughout Can-
ada is denoted ley the revised official
figures of the last fiancial vear. The
Federal exchequer is full to repletion,
and the revenue is exceedingly buoyant.
There was a surplus of $10,227,006 over
ordinary expenditure, and a reduetion,of
16.321,318, has been: made in the public
debt. The surplus over all expenditures
combined amounts to nearly five millions.
Compared with 1902.3, the receipts show
a gain of $4,620,000,
The Borden meeting iu Winghem on
Thursday last must surely have been
rather of a disappoiutment to those who
had expected the presence of the Con-
servative ltader to be the signal for a
great popular demonstration in favor of
the principles which that party advocat-
es. True, Mr. Borden discusses political
matters in a calm, dignified and gentle-
manly manner, without resort to ranter
or personal abuse; but the absence of a
fixed and definite policy on the part of
the Conservatives in regard to many
matters of government referred to has
been a notable feature of his campaign:
His remarks in regard to the Auditor
General's clai,ln should hardly be, taken
seriouely. The office of the Auditor.
General is of oourse, a very important
one, and one for which the country is
indebted to the Liberal Government of
Alexander McKenzie; but it was never
intended that the Auditor -General should
be the. ruler of the country. And we
doubt if a Conservative government
would give him any greater powers than
he now has. To make hint the final
judge of the propriety of payment from
the public treasury, to give him power to
block the course of admiuietration, is
something whioh cannot be done so long
as Canada is wider a parliamentary form
of gOvernment. Then, in discussing the
railway pr6blem, Mr. Borden very
cautiously eludes the question as to
whether he is in favor of the publio oper-
ation of a transcontinental road or not.
MR. BORDEN'S MEETING.
Mr, R. L Borden, the Conservative
leader, received a welcome to Wingham
on Thursday afternoon last. The C.P.
R. train which conveyed the distingnish-
ed gentleman was nearly an hour late,
and this was rather disappointing to
those who had gathered to hear the
public questions of the day discussed, as
it considerably shortened the time which
Mr. Borden would, as he said, have
liked to have given iu speaking to the
people. He was met at the station by a
number of prominent Conservatives,
and, with the Wingham citizens' band
leading, was escorted to the opera house,
which had been very tastefully decorated
for the occasion, with flags and bonding
and mottoes representing the policy of
the Conservative party. Mr. Peter
Scott of East Wawanosh, president of
Liberal -Conservative Association of
West Huron, occupied the chair, and on
the platform were many prominent
members of the party including J. J.
Donnelly, East Brace; Dr. Sproule, East
Grey; and Dr. T. Chisholm,Conservative
candidate in East Huron. The appear•
ante of the Conservative Ieader was
the signal for warm applause, and after-
wards two little girls stepped forward
and presented Mr. Borden with a beauti-
ful bouquet of flowers, for which they
received the customary reward. An
complimentary address from the Con-
servative Association of East Heron
was read by Mr. T. Hall. The chairman
then called upon Mr. J. J. Donnelly,
who in a few words introduced the
speaker of the afternoon.
Mr. Borden dealt briefly with some of
the prominent issues of the day. After
expressing his appreciation of the kind
things that had been said of him rn the
address read, Mr. Bordeu stated that he
did not know how in any respect the
Government could be said to have car-
ried out their pledges as to the tariff,
economic government and reduced taxa-
! Lion. Senate reform was another battle -
cry, but they were now told that the
Senate had bees sufficiently reformed
i because it contained a majority of
Reformers. Personally, he was glad the
Liberals had not carried out all their
! pledges; glad they had only mangled
and not destroyed the National Policy
• of the Conservative party. Mr. Borden
dealt warmly with the attacks of the
Liberals on the powers of the Anditor-
General, pointing out how necessary
each an official was for the protection
of the public treasury. The transeonti•
nentai railway issue was dealt with at
some lengtlh. The Conservative party,
said the speaker, repudiated as utterly
'absurd the hnggestion made by Sit
'Wilfrid Laurier to the effect that this
country was at the mercy of the 'united'
Staters in the matter of the bonding
privileges. The Grand Trunk Padlfle,
he said, was an auxiliary organization
of the Grand Trunk. That railway
absoltately controlled the Grand Trask
Pacific. That railway obtained all the
profits, while the oonenatttll and obli-
I gationt Were toot made bj' the reopens.
ible oompany, lint by the auxiliary
organization. His idea Was that, if the
people of Canada provided nine4tein hi
of IketiMi ts,J etroit% ood,alialatted
nine -tenths Of the liabiliity for bon -
9
stringing the railway, it would bebet,
ter for thein to also provide the other
teeth and own the railroad and control
its rates, That was the Conservative
•stand to -day, and the party would carry
out He platform it returned'to power.
Mr. Bordet' in concluding, touched
briefly on the fiscal poliny of the Con•
servative party. It was a policy of
adequate protection. that would enable
Canada to realize all her industrial pos-
sibilities, that would agsnre to the Cana-
dian farther the benefits of bis own
markets, and that would assure to the
workingman a fair living wage.
At the conclusion of his address Mr.
Borden left to catch the train, Bay-
ing spoken for a little over an hour.
The meeting was continued and Dr.
T. Chisholm, Conservative candidate in
the riding, was called upon. He paida
high tribute to the Conservative leader,
Mr Borden, and proceeded to attack the
Liberal tactics in bolding the elections
on the last year's lists, whioh he Said
would mean the needless disfranchise-
ment of scores and hundreds of young
men throughout the country. The Goy-
ernment was apparently afraid of the
young men's verdict; afraid of the
young men who to -day were broad-mind-
ed, intelligent and .educated. Proceed-
ing he dealt with the recent gerrymander
of the constituenuies, noting several in-
stances which were constructed to suit
the purposes of the party in power. He
uoted the increased expenditure under
Liberal rule, which this year had reach-
ed the sum of $77,000,000. The speaker
resumed his seat amidst warn applause.
Dr. Sproule was the last speaker, and
he dealt in a general way with what he
termed the incapacity of some members
of the present Admiuistratiou at Ottawa.
Canada's Agricultural Exports.
Under Conservative rule,
18$9.1896,, ,$368,710,078
Under Liberal rule, 1896-
1904..\,... ,........679,782,663
Increase.., $311,272.585
Fortunately for Canada, elaborate
statistics are not necessary to prove
her prosperity under the Liberal re-
gime. From the selection of the Laur-
ier Cabinet of business administrators
and specialists, the tariff revision, and
the return tide of exports following
the British preference, an impetus has
been given our trade which is the most
remarkable incident in our commercial
history. The Government wisely saw
the line of development for which we
were best suited, that of agriculture,
and the figures above show the result
that has been reached. The British
preference gave Canada an advertise-
ment in the motherland• --putting it on
'that basis for the moment -which great-
ly increased the demand for Canadian
products.

'Ave Stock Markets.
Toronto, Oct. 11. -The run at the city
cattle market to -day was 83 cars, with
1,325 head of cattle, 1,390 sheep and
lambs, 600 hogs and 105 calves. It was
rather a slow market, bat prices were
steady for all good cattle. The trouble
is that there is still very few good cattle
coming in. 'There are no exporters and
practically no good botcher cattle, said
Mr. Thomas Crawford. There was one
lot of heavy fat steers, about 1,300 pounds
heavy enough for export, but of only
medium quality, which sold as Tow as $3.
Tihs quotation however, would not be a
fair criteron as to the valve of choice ex-
port cattle. A choice export street, 1,430
pounds, sold at $5. There were no
straight loads of export offering.
