Tbe viewï of these gentlemen were heurt! bv Sir Mmaenzle Bowel', and not only the claIms of South Ontarlota rèpresentative but also of the county Itself were sbown forth ln their best llgbt. It was urged that Mr. Smith la pro. bably the only qualifed member ln the J bouse of commons wbo 1a a practical (armer, I and the record of this county i sweeplng prise lista ln agricultural products nt ail shows frotn the world's fair down to the amallest county show was dwelt upon. The I deputation further urgeci that there was a general feeling, one flot to be ignored, that a practical farmér must be namuec for t.his position ln the cabinet.t Premier Bowell in hie, reply made it clear that Mr. Smith's chances of being given the portfolio now were very slim, things beingt now dlvided up on the bais of so tmany places to each province, al'ility or experience having very little to do with it. Queec now holda the pl ce, andi it mulst remnain there for the pregent. He said he had flot tormed the present9 government; but if he should readi ust port- folios at any tinte he intended to appoint a practical man to this place. This, said onei of the Ieiding members ofthe deptitation toi us, was tLken to mnean that i f thie present1 goverament be sustaineci at next election ai farmier will get the place, and there can ble no donbt that that farmer will be from On.- tarlo. This would make the question oni7 one of time for Mr. Smith, and the promi- nence and friendly concurrence which the leadiug newspapers of tlie country have given bis naine for the place makes the thiug appear more eucouraging. We have now no doubt that our prophecy of five vears ago, that South Ontario's two noble sons shall be the boss farmers of the Do- minion and Province, will be very soon fui- filled. The following from the Montreal Gazette shows the rating Mr. Smith bas at a distance from homne andi among bis fellow members of parliament, beng probably (romn the peu of Mr R. Whit e. M. P.: The desire of the coustituents or Mr Wm,. Smith, M P., (or Soutb Ontario, that their member shoulci be appolnted Minster of Agriculture, is a natural and laudable onehit indicates the populmrity of Mr. Smith, wbo is a thoroughly replresentative and hghly successful fariner. Mr. Smiîth was firet retutned to the Elonse t Comnions in 1887 and bas gained for himself ln that body the reputation of an excel- ent speaker and an incdustrious representative. He bats admirable qualificritions for the position his constituent@ wsh bim to r-ccupy, and when a vacancy in tbe Ontario representation in the Government occurs. bis naime lu not unlikely to be considereci in the flling of il.. amseameat Bysl.rn Mutual Principle.

Can there b. any stronger or broader (oua- dation than this? Iu maklag il equltable the executive have covereci the wbole ground, by charging the older members wbo haci not paici the maximum, their propor- tion, andi this lu one of the stroilgest movea the ofilcers could make, an' la commended by many of the o!d members, and was 10 have been don. by our lite president about two years ago, and again recommendeci in June last. and was suggested, but flot de- manded (as you would have il) bv Comumis- sioner Pierce as bis tetter to our president shows. 2nd.-Oh!1 but you dlaim we have flot charged enough, and had t0 ask for more to save us from destruction. That certainly looks like a grave charge, and if leaving money in the pockets of the peopte lu a crime, and certainly one that can neyer be laid to the charge of our old line, friends, then we must plead guilty, and the economy of our system as compared with their, as - shown above , mill warrant mie in sayiflg that we shall always b. in that position. AI- ready the saving in premiums aamounts to forty millions of dollars thai policy-holders would have haci to psy old i ne companies for the same insurance, and the older rn- bers bave 6aved enough in the diflerence in preminis to carry their insurance to their expectancy of life, and it Is stili less thati they would bave bad to pay the olci Une rom- parties at age of entry. 3rd.-l would ask you if it lu to save the olc system companties (rom destruction that their rates bave been increased abobut 25 pet cent. in the past ten vears by reduted divi- dend ? lu il to uave-them (rom destructi-on that they have tackeci on ail kindu of so cal- led investment features with seductive names and taken millions from the people iin the name of lite insurance? Is it to save îhem (from destruction, tbat they pay large sumu of the peoples' n'oney to s0 calied commercial papers, suc as the Mlonetary Times, whose opinions (if they bave any) are mouldeci enîirely by the amount they re- ceive. and on insurance matters are wortb about as much 10 the public as a ten-yeir- olci almanmc would be for next yemrls weath- er.
