The greatest grievance against the Ogtario government, in the county, as {voiced by Dr. Edwards for Mr, Gal lagher, is that the municipalities do not receive enovigh of the lieense money. One municipality, by the way is without licenses, and another is un- der local option, so that these circum- stances must affect the general result, Apart from thik the county is as well olf, proportionately, as any county in the province, The idea one would gather from Dr. Ldwards was that were the tories in power they would do better--that is they would collect more license money and pay it over to the municipalities, They have not, in thirty-two years, bern in offices in Ontario, and so have 'I not demonstrated what they could do. Bat they administered the license business from Ottawa for a season, during the time it wag usurped by the conservative government, Mark the result. There was a com: mission appointed by the Ottawa gov- ernmint, There was an inspector sel- voted also by the Macdonald cabinet. There 'was an issue of licenses practi cally to all who desired them. There was no limit nor restriction to the sale of liquor. How much did the municipalities. get from the licenss fund ? Not « $e By their fruit shall ye know them. And the tory in 1883 is the tory of to-day--no better, and , it is to be hoped, no worse. If the municipali- ties recovered none of the money whon the party collected. it in 1883 they would not be likely to get any ol it now, with a chemge of govern- ment, CAMPAIGN IN THE COUNTY. The clection in Frontenac is an in- toresting one, and it is made yo by the epirit which the liberals have put into it. Time was when the county campaign was largely directed from the city, by its politicians, when they undertook to be very busy and very conspicuous, ' A change has come over things: The rural voters have not much relish for the city gentlemen and their academic talks, Long since they found in their midst min who were capable of dis- cussing polities freely and fluently and with more decided effects. They pro- ferred to listen to those who were in sympathy with their aspirations and who éould debate the issues of the hour with force and directness. So it is that the city folks hear less about the county meetings though these are going on as well as bad roads and fithd weather will permit, and the attendance at them shows how much the people are moved hy passing ovents. The liberal party has been fortunate in its choice of Mr. Reynolds, who ix a man of advanced opinions, who is a leader of men and able to impress his followers whenever | he has the opportunity to address them. He is well versed in local and provincial politics and is more than a match for the representatives Mr. Gallagher. The farmers prefer, of course, to be ropresented in the legislature by one of their occupation, and they can have this in the liberal candidate. If ha will do the constituency and its clectors eredit. Certainly he ia the superior in many ways of Nr. Gallagher; who has no record to show for the time he has been in the local house. He makes no attempt to de- tail its proceedings, and so far as anything he says can show has taken no active part in them. The majority in the election of 1902 for Mr. Gallagher was only fifty-seven, It is small, and the supporters of Mr. Reynolds are quite hopeful that they oan overcome it. The election of the liberal candidate would be an event of importance, and Mr. Vair, at the of Pastis & Lawrence Co, Lid, Montreal, _ political meeting on Monday, was right when he said that it would glatiden the heart of Mr. Ross on the evening of the 25th to telegraph him that Frontenac had been vodeemed, Hon.

Mr, Ross has made the denial several times. He cannot be any more empha- tic about it. : The conservatives at Ottawa have due to employees, as winter was ap- proaching and many {amilies were dependent for life upon the wages dub | them. The government, with an inter. | est in the workingm shown in its abundant labor Jegislation, came to the reseue, arrcal with the banks to advance $260,000, the government having as security for repayment, the unearned land grant to the Algopma Central. Already the re-organized companies have repaid nearly half of this advance, and the balance is as- sured hy the first of next February, "The payment of the wages was only the first step in the work of re- viving the dormant industries.

"The mortgage was overdue, and foretlosure and a sale were threatenod, Canadian credi- tors to the extent of $1,200,000 would have been shut out, and the Algoma Central railway would not have heen completed.

The stedl plant is produc- ing 500 tons of steel rails daily, which at $28 per ton, adds $14,000 a day, or $4,200,000 a year, to the wealth of Ontario; the pulp mills turn out 100 tons a day, which at 815 per ton, add $1,500 a day, or four and a Lali million dollar¢ a year, to the wealth of Ontario. The Helen iron mine is producing one thotsand tons of per day, which at $3.25 per ton. adds $1,050,000 per year to the wealth f the province." The earning power of three other industries is put at 2200 per day--or $60,000 per year. This makes a grand total of nearly ten millions a year added to the wealth of the dominion by the timely aid of the government. In addition the pey list of wages for 4,000 . hands, amounts to ¥110,000 per month, or $1,680,000 per your to be spent at the "Soo," which must draw its supplies from old Ontario. "Was there any risk?

Alderman Rigney asked if Mr. Ponse voted against this?
