On Tuesday the September make of the Wallace, Elma and Mornington, Molesworth and Trowbridge factories was shipped fro:. Listowel, Donegal and Monkton shipping at the same time from Atwood station. The six factories shipped 2,400 boxes in all, receiving about §17,- 000 therefor. PRESENTATION To Mn.

On Tuesday of this week six cheese factories in Wallace and Elma shipped $17,000 worth of cheese at Listowel and Atwood stations, being their Sep- tember output. Though the price of cheese this season has not ral high as during the past two seasons, this is 8 enug sum fora eingle month's outpat for the six factories, and shows what an important industry the man- ufactare of cheese is and how largely the farmers of North Perth are bene- fited by it. With such an object ey before them, it would seem the ight ~ proper thing for the patrons on 1 engaged in the cheese business to foster and encourage the industry, and to give their aid and support to those who have been iustramental in building up the dairy interest'of Can- ada and making it what it is. The County of Perth stands in the fore-front of the cheese industry, both in the quantity of cheese made and in the excellence of its product, which at all times commands the top-most price. While this ge bee soutien kas not been attained through any one man's exertions, it is nevertheless a fact that a few leaders in the industry have bad considerable to do with its establish- ment gud La ripe Of these few Mr. %& F, MacLar tainly no one has been more closely coun with the industry in this county than he has. From his early days as cheese-maker up to the present the industry, until he hae become reco, both at home and abroad as an anthority on matters pertaining to dairyidg. It has been his life-work, and both in his extensive business relations and as representative in Par- liament the dairy interest receiv hie chief and almost undivided atten- tion. . MacLaren's services have begeantty been sought pA = Goumna> ment, in neultation as dairy expert at sim of the earld'e fairs. That the cheese men of this riding have had a capable and worthy repre- sentative, and one who has done much to promote their interests is acknow- ed all, Liberals as well as Conservatives. With everything to be tetaining Mr. MacLaren as & representative of the great industry in the Dominion Parliament, he has been continnously associated with | Bal bank -- a he paid ont to his wor wages, and arranged: with' the recat to trace them for him. The banks found that on the average the wages of workman passed through the hands of eleven different people in -a few weeks. the money followed about for a year the resdlte would have been cven more remarkable. Is it not better, than, to have the work.' men who manufactaré for us employed _ in Canadian factories instead of in factories of the United States and other foreign countries ? The money paid out for g Made in Canada" is kept circulating in Canada; but the money paid out for goods made in the United States is kept circulating in the United States. The Borden policy of Adequate Protection will eneourage Canadians to bay goods in Oan- ada by ¢ workmen. MR. BLAI IR RESIGNS From the Railway Commission, Will Fight Railway Deal---A Death Blew to the Laurier Government. St. Jol, N.B., Oct. 18.--The even- ing Times, in aepecial edition issued to-night, contains the following des- tch from Hon. A. Blair, dated ontreal :-- **I authorize the announcement that I have resigned my position ss chair- man of the Railway Commission, and have notified the Premier that or 4 re-affirming ra | ---- ae I ¢ Grand Tronk P.

The Daily Telegraph, and the Evening Times, of this city, the latter of which was lately established by Mr. David Russell, both come out strongly against the Grand Trunk Pacific pro- ject, and will vigorously fight the Gov- ernment on the proposal. It is also stated on high authority that there isno trath whatever io current rumors that r. Blair will accept either the Grand Trunk or Canadian Pacific Railway solicitorship. r. Blair's intention after the cam- psign is over is to resume the practice ot his profession in association with his son, Mr. A. G, Blair, jr., and he will open a law office in Montreal. Mr. Blair's action is regarded asa deatb blow to the Laurier Government, and some startling revelations are ex- pected before the close of the campaign. Iti is generally admitted that Mr, Blair' 4 action means the crushing defeat of the Liberal candidates in the City and County of St. John, as wellas the de- feat of Mr. Emmerson, the Minister of Bailways, in Westmoreland. BISHOP BALDWIN |DEAD. Head Ot The Ang Anglican Diocese Of Huro A Baintly Life, Spent in the Service of His Master, Ended Wednesday. Loudon, Ont., Oct. 19,-- Right. Rev. Maurice 8. Baldwin, Bishop of Huron, died at ll o'clock to-night. Two weeks ago his Lordsbip had a slight paral- ytic stroke, which was-safficient to con- fing him to bis home. On Friday last he was again stricken, this stroke proving so serious thai the physicians did not from the first hold out the slightest hope for his recovery. Not since the final stroke dul the attest recover consciousness. The grave con- dition of his Lordehip-has during the past fow days beeu » matter of deepest 'ooncern amongst citizens of all denom- inations, for not only as the head of the a Angiioan Diocese of -a.godly man and 9 preacher of the S Geel almost without a peer, he was revere' by all classes, He slept peacefully away, surrounded by his family. The death of Bishop dwin cannot but be regarded asa loss to the city of London, the Diocese of Huron and the Dominion of Canada as a whole. The attending physicians, Drs. Bech- er and Moorhouse, were surprised that his Lordship lingered as long as he had. They say that the Bishop had a marvel- ously sturdy constitution, bat that, eo eager was he in the canse to he hed devoted his life, he did wot..take precantions to guard is health. His Lordship could never "ond itin his heart to refuse apy calle which were made upon him, snd he would often conduct three services in one day.
