M ACMURCHY, Presentation of an Address by the Board of Trade to d. R. Dundas, Esq. There was a large gathering of the members of the Board of Trade in the occasion being the presentation of a beautifully illuminated address to J. R. Dundas Esq. from the board. In addition to the members, a number of well-known citizens of the town and county were also present. Amongst the latter we noticed Charles Fairbairn Esq., M. P. ; Messrs. J. H. Harvey, Wm. Fielding, W, A. Silver- wood, Wm. Robson, J. R. Mcheillie, G. H. Wilson, John McDonald, George Bryans, Capt. Crandell and others. The address was read and the presentation made by Mr. John Kennedy, president of the board, who spoke in feeling and eloquent terms of his long personal acquaintance and friendship with Mr. Dundas during thirty-two years in busi- ness in Lindsay, and paid a high tribute to his many sterling qualitiesas a business man and citizen. The Hon. John Dobscn. Mr. Fairbairn, Mayor Ray, Mr. Mc- Neillie, Col. Deacon, and others also delivered short and appropriate addresses expressing regret at Mr. Dundas’ removal from Lindsay, and bearing testimony to the esteem in which he is held by the entire community. Mr. Dundas replied at some length, and referred with much feeling to the many frlendships he had formed both in a business and in a social way in Lindsay and surrounding district, during the thirtytwo years he had been in business here. He still retained large interests at stake in Lindsay, and was glad that his business connection with the town had not entirely ceased. He thanked those present for their kindly expressions towards himself, and hoped that the future of Lindsay would be a prosperous one. The address, which was a beautifully executed work of art, read as follows :â€" J. R. Dundas Esq. DEAR SIR,â€"In accepting your letter of resignation of the presidency, necessitated by your removal to Toronto, the Board of Trade embraced the opportunity of plac- on record their esteem for you as a member and a citizen; and they now desire to express to you personally their high estimation of your businesscapacity and integrity, and the commanding p081- tion- you have established for your D3100 in the annals of trade and commerce in Lindsay. After an active and extraordim arily successful, business career, embrac- ing a third of a century and almost the entire history of the town, you have the satisfaction of knowing that you have been largely instrumental in making our town one of the most important trade centres in the midland district. Your fellow citizens have not failed to give you their confidence on any occasion when your busy life allowed you to devote any time to public affairs; and when the business men of the town resolved upon the formation of a local Board of Trade, you ware amongst those who gave en- couragement and assistance to the new movement. During the six years the an active and valued member, and your absence from the future meetings of the board will be a source of Sincere regret on the part of your fellow members. Whilst regretting the loss this board more congenial sphere, into which you In conclusion, we beg to assure you that you carry with you the very best wishes of the members of the Board of Trade, and the respect and esteem of the entire community.

NEW YORK, Nov. ll.â€"In the course of an interview to-day Mr. Erastus Wiman said that the election of Mr. Cleveland is full of deep signficance to Canada. It means the obliteration of the McKinley bill, so far as food products are concerned, if Canada is willing. Just how soon and under what conditions this vast event may occur it is impossible to say. But the tendency and the expectation from the victory will be unmistakably in this direc- tion. Of course it will only come to Can- ada for a quid pro quo. In other words, free trade in food will prevail if free trade in manufactures is afibrded. It will be unreasonable to expect that the tariff will be reduced to Canadian products unless in Canada it is reduced on American pro- ducts. Goods and not money must be the medium of exchange. Reciprocity will still be the basis of any possible arrange- ment. but reciprocity is much more possi- ble. under a Democratic regime than under Republican rule. The Republicans would withhold freedom of trade in the hope of compelling political union, unless forced by merchants and manufacturers to en- larged markets and free raw material. Democrats need no forcing in this direc- Q tion, and will readily respond to the most liberal ideas of intercourse which the‘ Canadians will propose. It has been a? great duel betWeen twelve million voters, in which intelligent thought has had full 4 sway, and the verdict is that a countryi cannot be taxed into prosperity. A Welcome Movement. A turn in the tide of population moth. ing between Canada and the United States appears to have begun. Hundreds of emigrants from the province of Quebec are reported to have returned. Not that . the outward movement has entirely ceased. It is conceivable that a move- ment both ways, at the same time, may take place, to the mutual benefit of the two countries. The repatriation into Quebec occurs at the same time that a flow of population from the States to our Northwest and British Columbia has set in. A few years ago, before the capacity of the Northwest had been proved, there was a tendency of population to leave Manitoba and the Northwest for the ad- joining States. N ow the stream runs the other way. The productive power of Manitoba and the Northwest having become known, emigrants will be attract- ed in increasing numbers. Emigrants from New England and Pennsylvania are reported to be preparing tr. move to the Canadian North~West.

J enks and Ely present very elaborate and careful estimates of the cost of hauling freight in wagons on country roads. The general re- sult n" ' .. wtimates is presented in the brief hr. - ‘.‘lll.llt statement that at pres- ent the .i_:c cost of hauling 100 bushels of grain one mile is 60 cents. In other words, 60 cents is the cost of hauling three tons one mile. If there is no mistake in the esti- mate it is something for farmers to think about. The average cost of hauling 100 bushels of wheat one mile by rail is said to be onet-hird of a. cent. From these statements taken together it appears that it costs 180 times as much to haul a given quantity of wheat from the farm to the railway sta- tion as it does to haul it the same distance by rail. To state it in another way, it costs as much to haul a. crop of wheat a disâ€" tance of 19 miles from the farm to the station as it does to haul the same crop 1,800 miles from the station to the market. The average distance from the farm to the station may not be 10 miles. Suppose it to be half that distance, of five miles. It in then to be said that the average haul by rail to market is not 1,800 miles, but less 3 than half that distance. The conclusion re- mains that it costs fully as much to haul the crop to the station as it does to haul it from the station to the market. The lesson which the farmer has to learn , from this is obvious His worst enemy, so far as transportation is concerned, is not , the railroad, but the wagon road. And what he most needs to do is not to make , war against the railroad companies, but to set about the business of cheapening trans- portation from the farm to the railway. It is right and proper, of course, to resist ex- ‘ tortion where it is practiced by railway ,and elevator companies, but the farmer should not permit himself to become l so much absorbed in that business . as to neglect the other business, . where there is an incomparably more promising field of economy. A bushel of wheat is hauled by rail 1,500 miles for five cents. That is pretty cheap, and the farmer cannot expect much cheaper rail- way service very soon. It costs him five cents to haul the bushel about eight miles by wagon. If the cost of the wagon haul were reduced to one cent per bushel it lwould still be 36 times the cost of the l haul by rail for the same distance, and the farmer would be ahead four cents a bushel, or about $21 on the average crop of wheat l harvested from 50 acres of land. Here is the place for economv. Smoking Hurts Only Lazy Men. Dr. Dabbs, one of the physicians who at- tended Lord Tennyson, has told the whole world through an English newspaper that “smoking does not injure a man who works and thinks,”adding to this statement of his associate, Sir Andrew Clarke, that it. only hurts a lazy man who drinks. This is good news for smokers. The supposed evil 8 of the tobacco habit are not due to tobacco, but to laziness. Hereafter there is an an. swer to every reported case of troublacaused 4 by tobacco. It can be stated that the man was lazy and did not think. WHITE PINE OMS-Ml COUGHS AND COLDS H I G] .N' BOTH. 1.71 ‘S .Ji.‘ 'wfl‘”'\ awn. . L . «.J "fl“‘flyd .14 . -â€"-... ”,4 5â€". . "
