"Protection may put a party in pow-~ er," he said, "but it has never put money in your pockets." It is patent to everybody that the measures of relief for the cutting down of taxes has given a stimulus fo budiness, has made the people gen- erally feel generous towards the late govrament for its interest in them. The half however has not been ye: effected that will be by the selection of strong low-tarifs men for paniia- ment. The plans and projects of Liberalism are before the people for approval, -------------------- MR. MEIGHEN SEES A GREAT LIGHT, The Rt, Hon. Arthur Meighen has at last seen a great light. He has discovered that in the minds of the people the Customs probe is not the | paramount issue, and he has discov- ered further that all the shouting about it that he and Dr. Manion, and Mr. Stevens can do, will not make it the paramount issud, Mr, Meighen has now discovered that one of the really paramount issues is the Robb Budget, and so, Meighen-like, he is he| doing his best to discredit it. In the Maritime Provinces Mr. Meighen has been talking about the railways, and the praggerity that will come to the Maritimes if the Con- servatives are returned to power. He also regaled the electors down by the. 86a with the Customs scandal, and other things. But now that he is back in Ontario Mr. Meighen realizes that the Robb Budget is really the big issue, and so at Orillia he made a futile endeavor to belittle the benefactions of this budget, His efforts must have made Stephen Lea- cock, the humorist, who acted as chairman, green with envy. Mr. Meighen undertook at Orillia, to prove that there had not really been any reduction to the buyer of automobiles, because of the Robb Budget. Mr, Meighen is a past mas- ter of sophistry, but at Orillia he al- most, out-Meighened 'Meighen. Try- ing to explain to people that they are not reaping any benefit, while at the same time they have the tangible evidence right in their pocket, is, we will admit, a pretty dittioult task. What did the Robb Budget do to the prices of automobiles? Did it re- duce them to the consumer or did it not? Well let us take one car, the Ford, and examine that.

Mr. Meighen has a pretty difficult | task ahead of him when he tries to combat the Robb Budget. We sym- pathize with him, and we also ad- mire his courage in tackling such a hopeless task. : ------------ CANADA'S FRUIT.

'The old saying that an apple a day keeps the doctor -away, may not be alto- gether true, but your doctor will tell you that it has a foundation in fact.
