A. | HACKING ~ Ghemist and Druggist. Agent G, T. R. And Canadian Express. ListowelStandard FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1903. Fisher is a Lightweight. The Conservative party recently brought down a resolution censuring the government for its neglect of Can-. ada'e interests in respect of the South African cattle trade. The Britieb war department hus been purchasing large numbers of cattle in the United States, and Canada, ultnongh she sac- rificed navy men in the late war, was ignored. Hon. Sydney Fisher, the little Minister of Agriculture; the criticism of the opposition by a declaration that he had vainly protested against' Canada being overlooked. Evidently Mr. Fisher is a lighter weight than even his worst enemy thought him. The resolution which be helped to vote duwn was referred to by the British press, and immediate attention was given to Canada's claims by the Colonial office. ln lesa than twenty-four hours the effect of the opposition's move was felt. It did more in one day than little Mr. Fisber accomplished iu months, with all the prestige of a Cabnet Minister and the backing of the government of the premier colony of the empire. The result of the resolution, which was opposed by the cattle breeders' rep- resentative in the government, will be thousands of dollars in the pockets of Capadians. Thousands of dollars, which should heve been spent in this country, are in Yankee banks. If the farmers had been properly represented by their minister, who was negligent enough to takea trip to Jepan at e timd when he should bave been at his post, the United States would never have received orders which should have oome to Cavada.
