Great interest and importance is ai- ways attacbed to the annal meeting of the Canadian Bankers' Association. The one recently beld in Toronto is of specially great importance to the Do- minion, for no business or profession is so closely in sympathy with the prevail- ing conditions of trade and commerce, and no wbere can so sen sitive a barom- eter be found to indicate the state of the country. The proceedings through- out, from the address of the President, and the discussions at the business ineetings,to tbe speeches at the banquet, were of tbe highest value, tholigh it is true 'Opposition papers would' seek ta qualify their significance by a querulous criticism that there was a little too much of a political flavor therein. 0f cusif to point out, as did President Wilkie, tbat bis year of office bas been marked by an increase of trade, and ruanufacturers, by an increase in the price of farmers' produce, by a develop- irent of the gold area in the Yukon, a*d the mining districts lu British Columbia and Ontario, and by the ad-t dition of many millions to the nationalt wealtb, if to mention tbis is sbowing undue political bias, then not only he, but many others who took part, will bave to admît the impeachment. 1t UJnlike the aforesaid Opposition, thesei are bard-beaded 'business men, whot care notbing for the political aspect, tof whom it neyer occ urs that there is at political aspect; for in tbese matters,d their business is carr led an aloug re- y cognîzea econamicai and commercial lines, and tbey go at once tafrst prin- ciples for tire interpretatian of axisting conditions, and for tire guidance of their aperations. It is therafore tire mare satisfactary aud' valuable te flud tire cutire proceedings carried tirrougir witirout a minor note, avcrytiig is prosperaus, evcrywherc is confidence, tire futur'e is as bight as tire past bas beau dark; and tirat bine rmin and national disastar, which was se confi- dentiy predicted iref are tire general elections, if tbat sbouhd bappen wiicb bas sinca cccurred, is evidently furtirer off Ito-day tiran it bas been lu a genera. tienl.

E1WPTINESS. Tbe pubhisher oi aur caontamporary bas aur heartfelt sympathies for baving ta devote twa columns oflbis valuable space ta an alheged reply ta THiESTATES- MAN'S hast editorial on the Fira Engine. At this season of the yeair wben 85 a columu is freely paid for business aun- ouncemeuts, such a sacrifice as bis is wortby of a wealhy philanthropist. The sacrifice would nat be 50 intrinsie alhy great, howevar, did the article lu question possess mnent commnensurate witi tire space occupied. But, compar- atively speakingwhen tbe insinuations, inuuendloes and literary foam are elimin- ated, thre residum of argument and rebuttal evidence an the merits and demerits of tira tire engiue in evideuce is iufinitesimally meagre, indeed, un- warthy of the axtraardinary litarary acumen and argurnentative ability suppased (by himself) ta be pas5essad by this acrimoniaus and vindictive public critie. We are told on unqrrestiauabhe- authority that considerabie portions of the original article bad ta, be scared ont before tbe Editor would publisb it, and aven then gave it space sorehy against bis better judgment. We bave ru vain carafully perused the article twica ta discover auy uew or untouched argu- ment, so we bave notbiug additional to say lu defense of the premises accupied iu previaus articles. Sa far as we can guaga public opinion, nine-tentirs of tire ratepayarsof this town regret that tire white elephaut of an engine was ever saddhed ou, tis corporation, and! the tramendous increase over last year lu their tax bis, recently delivered by the collector,a portion of whicb increase is ta meet the uunecessary autlay for tis equally unuecessary liviathan of a fie englune, will natý serve as a balm for their lascerated feelings.

Ml U.alerc, PUBLISRER'S ~O1E Owing to the recent purchase of a Nortbey Gasoline Engine to replace the steam englue that we bave used for 16 years. we flnd it necessary to ask ail persous indebted to TriE STATESMAN Office for advertising, job printinzysub- seription or otherwise to make immedi- ate settlement by cash or, note. Ours is really a cash business and we are not supposed to give credit to auyone, but occasionally p ersons take advantage of our good nature and place us under the unpleasant necessity of asking for our- own. As oue good turu deserves an- other, demonstrate to us by quick settiement that you appreciate our, leniency. We really need several hundred dollars this very week, and as every dollar belps, no raatter how small the amount is you owe usbring or send itta us AT ONCE, please. lJnderstand, friends,tbat whenever you see a"Idunn- ing notice" like this lu THEu STATESMAN money is urgently needed. As we pay cash for stock, etc., it takes a lot of mouey to pay our bis every week, and as money has beau coming in slowly for four or five months our little surplus from subscri ptions at the flrst of the year bas long since been spent. Now this is the wbole s tory. It pays to ha candid with our customets. Now, how many will pay us before next Saturday nigbt ? Ieader, do 'ý ou owe1 the indul- gent edîtor auythiug? NEXT FALL FAIR. Now 18 the time ta plan for your, ex- bibit lu some classes of next year's Fal exhibition. The' directors b ave very wisely barrad outsiders fromn competing lu several classes iu which what are knowu as'1 'professional exhibitors" bave lu formeir years captured the bulk of tbe prizes. This makas it so much the better for local exhibitors. Iluudreds of Young women, aye and yonng girls, too, should begiu at once and get articles ready for next year, The long winter es-enings afford ample oppor- tunity for thea work. The class for " girls under 14 years l will be enlarged if the girls will take greater interest in thair owu department. Many farmers sbould keep an e ve to adding one or more thoro'-brad or higb grade animaIs to improve theair stock. The swine prizes were gréatly increas- ed last year. Grains and, seeds should receive more attention, too. This class is for caunty exhibitors only. While the exhibition was a splendid success this year, we are desirous of improving it greatly for 1899. To this end M. A. James, Secretary, will glad- ly raceive suggestions from anyone how to improve thre Fair. Note any changes deemed desirable and make any suggestion that will be ýhelpful. We want next year's Fali fair to be a record-breaker. It is already a record. breaker iu one respect, viz. - Member- ship. Mr. W. F. Allen, Treasurar, re- ports that the advance-paying member- ship is already considerably larger than ever before to bis knowledge. There, are aiready enrolled over 100 names as fuli mambers for 1899. Isn't tis A splendid beginning? Truly, it is. Now we want fo see every one of these members bring lu one new member before tire annual meeting lu January, tiren we shahl have a' record-breaking. annual meeting, too. Tickets are ready and may be had from tire Secret- ary. Only members for 1899 will be eligible to take part in tire election of officers and directors naxt year.

Mr.John J.Mason of The Mason Co., Bowmanville, who has returned from Ottawa, after inter- viewing Sir Wilfrid Laurier and mem- bers of the Cabinet, tels this story as told to him by a gentleman f romQuebec. It seems there was much haziness.:in the minds of the Frenchi Canadians about the real object of the plebiscite, and many of tbem got the impression that a great politician in Toronto or somewhere in Ontario, called Mr. Pleb iscite, wanted to get into Mr. Laurier's place as Premier and "tbey ail love Laurier" so they of course voted "No." We understand this storv was only re- cently taken ont of Bond.
