CRAWFORD, OF QUEEN ST. Six Months in "2 in 1." A Consulting Chemist Makes a Novel Experiment. An Unsolicited Letter that Explains Itself. "I write to state that on account of your "2 in 1'" Shoe Polish being criti- cised, and the charge made that it injured leather, I made this test as follows : I mixed the contents of a box of "2 in 1' Shoe Polish, bought at a retail store from regular stock, with four ounces. of water and into this mixture put a kid glbve, and left the said glove in the mixture in a bottle from June 15th to December 15th, 1905--a full six months, I then took the glove out, washed it and examined it. The fine leather of 'the glove was not affected in the least. It was as pliable and soft as when new, and was not altered in condition, nor were the stitches affected in any way. This test, I corisider, proves that "2 in 1" does not injure the finest leather I hereby state that these facts are correct and true, J. M.

The conservative party in the com- mons is now out for grievances on ac- count of the farmers, and the latest lament was that of Mr. Armstrong, of Lambton, that the Germans had legis- iated by tarifl against Cdnada, and 'that the apple trade had suffered. Mr, Clements, of West Kent, added to the noise and argucu that the. farmers of Canada would some day have ~ be reckoned with. ' The facts have heen forgotten with regard to the German - surtax.

The session was to be a short one, in view of the next session being longer because of tariff revision. But it being lengthened out and 'by a of very useless talk, is flow of Change In Nethods. Appeal 'is being made to thd steam: ship and railway companies to take the steps which will have the effect of bringing the British manufacturers into closer touch with the people of Canada. The Canadian manufacturers have seen the wisdom of establishing agencies in England, through which they can do business at home to more advantage. But the want of Canadian agencies in the British Isles is not so great as the want of British agen- cies in Canada. It out that the Canadians have bought freely in some has been pointed lines of business from the latter the Americans, because are granted quicker responses.

The British preference was only had origin is elly when the imperial government de nounced the treaties it had with the Germany showed its displeasure at once by reprisal.

The party which he leads has never very kindly regarded the preference. © The arrangement which his political friends wanted was a quid pro quo which the British gov- ernment could not grant, because it was not agreeable to. the British people. For a time they endured something they did not want because they feared to antagonize the Canadian people, but they have been gathering courage from the few manufacturers who ob- ject to British products coming in at the lower duty, and some of them, not the leaders in debate or party coun sels, come out as opponents of the preference, and they have the nerve to say that it iy displeasing t@ the farmers, who are suffering, and that these will have to he guickened with, The farmers have no grievance. surplus products 'are going across. the sea, and they want no better market than that which Britain affords. The discouraging, not to say shame- ful, feature of the whole case is the alleged favour this disgruntled con- servative party would show the Ger- mans at the expense of the British! They will talk of the old flag for hours, and will sing "God Save the King"' once an hour if need be, but when it comes to giving a practical exhibition of their loyalty they are wanting. Their Look At This Record. The discussion of the North Atlantic. Trading company, led by Mr. Foster, has not been very profitable in some respects, but it has demonstrated one thing most clearly, that the immigra- tion policy of the Laurier government has been a spirited one and that it has contributed to the splendid re- sults of which there is a record. Mr. Foster sneers at Mr. Sifton and his cult, but Mr. Sifton put life and energy into the interior department, and western Canada has reason to ex- tol his virtues, He is silent while his detractors are noisy, but he has a de- fender in Hon. Mr, Oliver, who ceeded him in office and who is worthy of the place he occupies. Mr. Oliver has presented pa few facts in contrast, and they will stand peating. In Mr. Loster's time as a minister the higheet value put upon lands in Saskatchewan and Alberta was $3 per acre. The C.P.R. sold a million acres of it five years ago at $1.55 per acre. The 200,000,000 acres of agrieultural land is now valued at suc- re- 86 per acre, which is an advance of £809,000,000, In 1595 the crop was estimated to be 32,000,000 bushels. In 1905 it was 85,000,000 bushels, and its value had risen to $100,000,000, created wealth the result year's opera- and of one tions from the immigrants settled in the North-West under the Siftonian policy.

J The three-fifths vote practically silences the measure 'of local option, and free choice should be the privi lege of the British subject every- where.

Then they deserted this friendly premier for a party which had always opposed them, that avowed declaring trust they would rather enemies than friends they were disappointed in. The first instinct of liberal mem: bers was to leave them - severely alone in the bosom of their new friends, but the unfairness of the three-fifth vote, the sacrifice to soothe the liquor interests under the inevitable resort to high license, was more than made the opposition could pass with verbal protest merely, without a division, marked protest.
