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 The meeting an- nounced for Whitechurch for next Monday evening has been withdrawn in the meantime. 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. We know how great a sacrifice arr. .Aylesworth is making in order to enter apon'a public career, but when we re- member that a Blake, a Moss. a Mc- Carthy, a Frillyard Cameron and other ilif his eminent predeasssors at the bar in Ontario answered affirmatively the call "bleb has row come to him so clearly and so strongly, we rejoice that he also takes the high view of his public respon- sibilities, and we have no doubt that he will join to the great distinction he has - won in his profession an equal distinc tion in the Parliament of this country. - Toronto dews.

At the South Huron Liberal couveu- tion ♦u Tuesday, Mr. T. Fraser, of Brumfield wan nominated for the 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.

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.
