Up- on ong point alone allow me to point out to you the significance of these improvements. On the 11th day of this month (September), the Montreal Insurance Chronicle figured out that in the item of insurance alone upon boats and cargoes of agricultural pro- ducts from the city oF Montreal the annual saving in insurance was $922 - 000. Now, I don't need to tell you that when you sell your wheat you pay the insurance upon it just as much as if you wrote out a cheque yourself. It is the same with the ocean freight, and these $922,000 sav- ed in insurance are $922.000 absolute- ly added, for that ome item, to the volume of the agricultural produce of the country. "Now how does all this develop- { ment figure out in the position, to- | day of the people of Canada ? In 1896 the exports of Canadian produce to Great Britain amounted to ¥62,717.000 while in 1908 the corresponding fig- ures were $126,194 000. © Turning to the item of manufacturers in 1896 the exports of same were $9,365,000, while in 1908 the total export of manufactures were $28,807,000. In the chartered banks in 18396 the deposits were $245,126,000, and in 1908 they were $659,126000. And 1 have no doubt that you gentlemen have got your full share. (Laughter.) The in- surance in force in Canada in 1596 {totalled $327,800,000, while in 1908 it {had grown to $634,324,000. | "I think I have made out a fair {case for the claim that the years of | liberal government have resulted in | great benefits to the people of Can- ada. Where do we stand in regard to the appeal of the prime minister ? He | wants to build the national transcon- | tinental as fast as possible. The op- {position say, you started to build | that railway too soon. But it is be- | ing built now and we propose to finish the Hudson Bay railway the opposi- tion say, vou are building too good a | rond. We take the position that a |country that can raise wheat can build a railway to haul it out. If you can raise wheat the people of Canada can afiord to provide the means of getting it to the market. If the pre- sent government is returned to power {that is what will be done. There is no reason to suppose the opposition would push the road to com rletion were they to be returned. Sir Wilfrid Laurier promises to pursue the policy of the development of Canada's re sources. The opposition say we are spending too much money. But the government is only spending the sur- plus money coming in. With regard fo the Hudson Tay railway the opposi- tion say nothing, although Mr. Haul- tain says that the roatl should be built by the three western provinces. Here you have a clear line of demar- cation. The policy of Sir Wilfrid Laur- lier represents the completion of the transcontinental, the build- of railway to Hudson {Ray and the development of the na- {tional resources.

Hotelkeeper Butler's Affidavit Made Public. Under the heading. "A"Foul Politi- cal Plof Hatched in East Elgin," the { Toronto Globe publishes final revela- infamous conspiracy .by has long heen suspected, Hepburn, liberal candidate East Elgin federal bye- tions of the which, as Wiliam F. the last in Improvement of St. Lawrence| i, tion, was slanderously mixed up Ex- lin an immorality case brought in the police court while the campaign was on. Nothing was proved against Hep: burn, and the judge declared his be: lief 'that he was innocent of any ims moral act; but upon the evidence of one Butler, an hotel-keeper, and of two women of loose character, who charged Hepburn with immoral con- duct, the liberal candidate was forced to withdraw in favor of another can- didate named at the last moment, who was defeated, in the election, and he himself and his family soon after moved to the west. The Globe now publishes the sub- | stance of an affidavit by Butler, made April 19th, 1907, in which he swears that Mahlon Boughner, a conservative organizer, suggested to him that they ut up a trick on Hepburn by mixing fim up with some disreputable wos men if he came to stay at Butler's hotel (Butler being more or less friendly to Hepburn, both personal and politically, but desiring to k in with Boughner for his influence with the conservative license inspec- tors), and that this was carried out, with the understanding that it should not be allowed to injure Hepburn po- litically, but should be used to extort from the liberal campaign managers as much as possible of the fund they were supposed to have. Boughner, however, told some of the leading conservatives about the plot, and it got beyond Butler's control. Boughner gave Butler $400, and told him that unless. he acceded to the demands of the conservatives;and gave evidence against himseli to the effect that there were immoral proceedings at his hotel on the night when Hepburn was there, he would be prosecuted by the *conser- vative license inspectors and lose his license, which was all he had to live upon. Butler narrates how he was or- dered to get a written statement from one of the women in the case, and did so. He himself was carefully coached as to what his own evidence should be, and. gave it as he was told. The matter has now come to light through disagreement among the par- ties to the conspiracy. Boughner sent in a bill to David Marshall, the ccn- servative member, in whose interests Hepburn was driven from the candi- dacy, for the sum of $700, which was refused. Mr. Marshall, in an inter: view, has strongly repudiated the idea that he authorized Boughner to pay Butler anything, though he ad- mits: that he knew that proceedings implicating Hepburn were to be taken against Butler. The Globe demands an investigation of the license department officials who permitted the license law to he used for' partizan purposes in a way which was characterized by the appeal judge in bitter terms. "I have a strong conviction," said the judge, "'that thé prosecutor (An- drews, license inspector) and the de- fendant (Butler) did all'in their pow- er to pervert this case and to make it an instrument of malic to cruelly in- jure an innocent man.' Mr. Brower, provincial conservative member, promised such an investiza- tion eighteen months agog but noth- ing has been done. He Must Be On The List. Edmonton Bulletin. Ceorge H. Bradbury of Selkirk, Man., is a gentleman not unknown in Edmonton. For a quarter of a century George H. has heen trying to make a member of parliament of himself. He is trying again. His chances are com- promised by records brought to light by J. S. Jackson, who represented the constituency in the last parlia- ment. It appears George H. got 554 square miles of timber from the erown back in 1886. He did not have to tender for it. There was no competi- tion allowed. No notice of sale, long or short, was published. George H. and the department alone knew of the transaction. For the 554 square miles George H. paid the government the amazing sum of $330: The area includ- ed one of the most profitable timber berths in the west, which is now being worked by a firm oi Dauphin millers, conservatives. Clearly George H. wants to go to Ottawa. As a mem- ber of parliament he might have more authority in forcing George H. as a private individual to' 'disgorge," in the eloquent language of his friends.

Not long ago he was a hberal of the liberals; then he was an independent of the in- dependents, and, just recently, he has become a tory of the tories. In the Roblin-Macdonald mix-up he is being called upon to vindicate the Globe against the conservative premier; in his independent capacity his utteran- ces against the conservatives are being used 'as campaign literature in North Toronto, and in his conservative ca- pacity he is endeavoring to suppress the publication of his independent ut- terances by taking action under the copyright 'act.

Long coats are to be 'the correct style this season, and many of the carriage and calling costumes for the fall are made in coat effect, as is the costume pictured in the accompanying cut. . Dark blue chiffon broadcloth was used fors the model, which, with its black and white striped satin revers and cloth buttons was exceedingly chic. The line of buttons dewn the side of the coat was very smart, and new, ad were the long sleeves of tucked blue chiffon cloth trimmed with tiny blue satin buttons. There was a little "'vestee" of shirred blue chiffon, fin- ished at the top with a row of tiny buttons, and the yoke was white tuck- ed net. Shots From The Ink Pot. Calgary Albertan. M. S. McCarthy, candidate for 'the conservative party in Calgary, spent much time A ser night referring to the "man behind the ink pot" on the Albertan. His bellicose and bom- bastic comrade, R. R. Bennett, of the C. P. R., went further to point out how much more a man like Senator Lougheed should be considered than a man who has no further stake in the country than a quiil and a pot of ink. I had rather be a starving pauper grinding behind the ink pot and driv- ing an honest quill than be the paid slave of a railway corporation. 1 can be happy at work which. may be mo- notonous and tiresome and always poorly paid, but I could not live and face my fellow man if I earned my livelihood by striving to deprive the widow and the orpban of retribution from the corporation that killed their breadwinner, 1 had rather wear my life away striving in my humble and lowly capagity to please the people, and perchance sometimes to instruct some of them, right behind the an- cient but honorable ink pot than get a retainer fee of thousands prosecut- ing honest laboring men, whose only real offence is in striving to keep up against a gigantic foe. Bulwer Lytton, was it not, who said that the '"'pen is mightier than the sword." That is a compliment to some predecessor who doubtless was worried by the bully of that age, who waved his sword in the air and thirst- ed for the blood of "she man behind the ink pot." The bully of ancient days has abandoned the fight, and taken to high places and oud and bombastic language. But it is the same coward who worked with the weapon in the days of long ago. Lauding Of Mr. King. Mr. Foster in North Waterloo. I have noticed that a good deal of talk has been made in the liberal pa- pers about a new star that has arisen on the firmament. The new star is a most estimable fellow in the person of William Lyon Mackenzie King. I have seen a good deal of him at Ottawa, and so far as my observation has gone, Mr. King has been a very wor- thy official in the work which he has had to do. He has seen fit to enter the politital arena. I always preach to young men to fit themselves or the duty of citizenship, because 1 believe statesmanship is one of the most hon- orable callings of public life. Let us welcome Mr. King, but we conserva- tives must still hold the position of critics. Mr. King has high ideals, and his ambition is to keep the liberal banter from being besmirched.
