Stand by your principles, men. Montreal Trade Bulletin says the Dominion "lias nrrivedupon the thres- hold of an epocli in Canadian history that will eclipse alilprevious records of its progress. The futurç prosperity of our country can only be measured by its commercial resources which are too vast to admit of ans' lirait being placed ypon them at present." Great credit is 'due the Laurier Goverument for this happy condition. * Cheering news for farmers cornes from Montreal.

Dr. Mitchell has been accorded an enithusiastic eception in every part of the riding. 1 Conservatives are flot offelring to bet o)n'Reid's election and take bluffs with iaad grace.

In 1892 there was another sale of timber limita, but as these were lu the Ottawa Valley, and there was no possibîlity of the loga being expo)rted, no such condition requiring manufa.cture ,was inserted lunfthe sale. The wis-dom of the Governmeut was sliown in f bts and lu other matters, for ln 1894, for the first time in 28 years, Congress remnov- ed the duty onCanadian lumber, and as a matter of course Amnerican timlber operators, as well as Canadian, foiundj it to their advantage to manufacture logs into lumber lu Canadian mls Fromthis perîod up to the passage of the Dinglev bllI, reimposing the duty of $2 per thonsaud, there could Dot be ay possible agitation for legislation t compel license-holders to manufacture legs lu Ontario.
