Minister Dryden will give two speeches in tliis riding in the interests of the Rsforra candidate, Mr.Boland. Sorrj he conld not have seen his way to address a Fleshertou audience. It is just possible tliat he might be in- duced to attend the Farmers' Institute meeting here. He could give our yeomen some valuable poiuteis on the actual cost of raising a pig. Premier Lanrier is just now in Woshiiigtow. Tliis niaj be all ri^ht from a commercial point of view.but for ourselves weare somewhat troubled with that " tired feeling " wheu we think of the many embassies that have gone fioin this country to try and di. business wiih the authoiitiec • ai Washington. It really gives color to the claim tlnvt Canada is f-Tor tiie supplicant and tiic U. 8. utterly in- different as to whether she gets our tiadeornot. It is time our public men showed a little more independ- ence and allowed Uiic'c Bam to return a few of llie visits which he owes. Mr. O'Gilvo, who has recently re- turned from tlio Yokon, carrohoratcs everything that has been said as to tie richness of that country in mineral.
