On the other hand Vi‘vuvrvâ€" ______ a home market would reduce thel surplus and the increased prices would remain unchanged. if not. in- creased. Viewing the matter there- fore form a business standroint it behoves every farmer, as well as every townsman, to give what as- sistance he can in the development of all industries which will produce an increased demand for labor, and concurrently with this an increased {consumption of home productions. We have in this country natural products that will in time be turned to purposes for which nature intend- ed them, and it is almost safe to in- fer that until that time comes their real uses will not be known. Had people fifty years ago known that the marshes and bogs of this country possessed peat that would make fuel, the wanton destruction of our lorest land would have gone on with re- doubled waStefulness, and the peat beds long ago would have been con- sumed, but as it was not known what future generations would do for fuel, the timber was husbanded to some extent, and now we find there is something to take its place,l and we are optimistic enough to be- lieve that when the new fuel supply is exhausted there will be something else discovered or invented it it is thought necessary by the Divine Be- ing that this old world should con- tinue to wag on. The block to which we refer in this article con- tains about 100 acres, said to extend to a depth of 20 or 30 feet. If Conservatives are trying to “ lie the government out of ofiice”â€"and the Liberal press is industriously circulating that report â€"they are fools. There is no Conservative in- ventive enough to frame lies that would be more damaging to the pre- sent government than the truth is, For instance : What lie could do more damage to the government than the truth that it gained power under false pretences and hypocritical misrepresentations? What lie could do more damage to them than the fact that they increas. ed the annual expenditure by over ten million dollars instead of decreas- ing it as per contract with the people? Could any falsehood be more de- structive to the government than the demonstrable truth that the Protective Policy which they were to smash out of business is here still --the same N. P. it was. Who ever invented a yarn so po- tent a reputation-destroyer as the recorded fact that the great expon- ents of economy ofiered to give, without competition, a firm of rail- way promoters nearly four million acres of land for 125 miles of undesirable railroad passing through a piece of disputed territory? Who ever tried to damage the Lib- erals among farmers by retailing a lie more disastrous to the govern- ment than the truth: that they who have opposed railway bonusing granted millions of money in sub sidies and in some cases doubled the mileage grant? What Conservative tried to im- prove on the damaging truth that they who declared in favor of granting contracts by public tender now Openly and frequently let con. tracts without competition. Who could invent a lie more damaging to the repntition of Sir Wilfrid Laurier than the truth that he posed as ademocrat to the hilt but accepted the first of ari'stocrasy oEered him ? What lie could the most malicious Torry invent that would be so de- trimental to Sir Richard Cartwright’s reputation as the nncontradicted story told by Sir Wilfred Lanrier that he (Sir Richard) was at. heart Protectionist in all the years he THE TRUTH IS MIGHTIER THURSDAY. and consequently ramped and raved as an anti~Protec- tionist ? Has anyone been lying about the Minister of Militia? If so, would he not have accomplished his purposei the better by sticking to the truth and asserting that the Minister paid $2 a pound for bogus emergency rations when the genuine article could be bought for fifty cents? What falsehood can be more damag- ing to the government than the truth that it protected the fakir who swindled the department? One can ‘get ten Liberal members and the Minister of Justice to certify that the Department was swindled. And Clifford Sifton? Surely no one has been lying about him. who must regard Truth as a. greater enemy than falsehood, else he would not have squelched all attempts at an unbiased investigation into his ad- ministration of the Yukon. “’hat invent-ion would be more injurious to Mr. Sidney Fisher than his own record as a. Prohibitionist aiding and abetting his leader’s per» fidy to the cause of Prohibition. Did anyone yet invent a yarn against Mr. Muloch so calculated to injxre him as the truth that he has dropped the good measures he advo- outed when in opposition and took the bad ones that he had denounced. Tell us pray what lie was ever told against the Liberal leaders so potent and reaching as the lie they them. selves gave to nearly all their fair professions and protestations ?--Fera gus Canadian. CALGARY, Sept. 29 1900, EDITOR “ DURHAM CHRONICLE,” DEAR Simâ€"While reading THE CHRONICLE of a recent date I was greatly surprised to see two letters of mine published therein. Had I had the least idea that such would appear in a newspaper I would have taken more pains in the cemposition of them, But we are very often pressed for time, and as a rule, I suppose careless as regards such matters as letter writing. However, ; this time I will try to give you a few inotes on a very pleasant trip I have just latelv returned from. Our commanding Officer got orders to have a party of Mounted Police at the Blackfeet Indian Reserve on the 22nd Sept. to esort the Governor General, who was to inspect the Re. serve. We left Calgary on the 20th. at 12.30 p. m., for Gleichen, the chief town of the Reserve, with twelve mounted men and three teams. We took our time on the way, travelling 2?) miles that afternoon. Arriving at Langdon at 4 30 we camped for the night and picketed our horses on the prairie. We had two or three old prairie hands with us so fared well; lin the line of cooking etc. We broke camp next morning at 7,30 and arrivâ€" ed at Gleichen about 3 p. 111., having travelled about 60 miles altogether. There we pitcheo our tents again and devoted the rest of the day to clean. ing up for the escort. We paraded on Saturday in full dress at 1 o’clock and esorted the Vice Rrgal party to the agency, a distance: of 7 miles. We had a fine dinner prepared for us and were treated splendidly. The Indians turned out. in full force. about 3000 in all. They were a wild looking lot, dressed in most gorgeous costumes. and painted up to suit the occasion in their minds. They devoted most of their time as usual to horse racing and dancing. They own the fastest ponies in the country; After Lord Minto had pre- sented them with prizes and deliver- ed a very appropriate Speech to them we returned to Gleichen and were highly complimented by his Excel- lency. We expected to leave for Calgary on Monday. but Sunday it came on a ibig snow storm and kept us in till LWednesday. Our tents were all * blown down, so all who could, moved into the Police detachment house. The rest of us slept in the hay-loft above the stables. We were warm enough, but in the morning woke up and found a drift of snow on top of us. As the storm kept up my chum and I moved into the barrack loft and{ slept in the room with the interpre-i ter and his wife. We left Gleichen. Wednesday morning and arrived in Calgary Thursday afternoon. We had a fine time on the way as the country is abounding with game. One small lake especially, was actual- ly covered with thousands of ducks and geese. There were acouple of shot-guns in the party so we secured about 40 ducks, geese and prairie chickens. Some of us tried our car- bines on them but thought it was good Sport we had no luck. We ran across several dead horses on the . trail showing the severity of the storm. OUT AMONG THE INDIANS. The barrack life in Calgary seems rather dull now. but we’ll soon get used to that again. As regards Police life I like it Splendiily, and though we have some rather tough times once in a while, it is just what suits me. Hoping, Mr. Editor, I have not troubled you with too long a letter: I remain, BEN D. FIRTH, Calgary. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. CEBU, CEBU P. 1. Aug. 2nd, 1900. DEAR FATHER.â€"-AS it is quite a long time since I have written you a private letter of any kind I take this opportunity of doing so. I hope you will patch up any of my other letters you print, so that they will be pre sentable in the paper, and not look like a six year-old-schoolboy’s com- position on a hen. I can generally tell a good composition when I see it, but to save my life I cannot write one. I got a letter from uncle John Irwin the other day. It was a very nice letter indeed. He says he IS al- ways anxious to see THE CHRONICLE. to read my letters. I think he must be trying to jolly me on a little. At any rate I have a swelled head over it, and have now an aspiration to rank with Rudyard Kipling and other great writers. You had better tell him not to do it again, or some serious accident may come out of it, much to mv sorrow and chagrin. I may play Humpty Dumpty {or a while and take a tumble to myself. I hope you will not work too har'd A little work is all right in its place. but I do not believe in a man making a slave of himself‘ However, I guess there have been more killed from laziness than from overwork. Of the twu evils I would choose the former. The last CHRONICLE 1 got shows great imprcvement in form, letter press and general appearance. Your new press must make a great change for the better regarding the labor connected with pressing. It will al- so make it a great deal easier on the type. I suppose you will have no objection to me going back to run it after a while. How are Maud and Rita. Tell them I will write them soon. 1 would like to hear from all of you if I could. News from home tastes pretty good down here. It is even better than pie. I expect we will be having it a lit- tle easier down here now, as peace has been declared. The Americans are crazy over whipping,r these poor, half starved savages. As the trouble is over, I expect to be discharged next May, thereby serving two years. I would like to get my discharge here, and make a trip around the world, but I think it scarcely possible. If I could do this I would settie down, and forever hold my peace. I would even be contented to take unto: me a wife, with three or four hens, a‘ pig, 3. goat and a cow, and settle down. I would that I had a flying machine I would take my trip to Canada, and from'aloft view the city of Durham. ! to see if it had changed any during lthe past two years It must be the most business looking town around with more prospects than half the cities. I how you are not haying any trouble with your subscribers drOp- ping; off on account of my letters. If you do, just make an apology to the public in general. Tell them 1 am not an author, but a poet, and if I did make a butcher out of myself, I am excusable, as I never learnt the trade This oughc to bring them round and pay three years’ subscrip- tion in advance. I am poorly at present. being con- lined in the hCSpital in Cebu. I got the fever again, and will be on the shelf for a time. This fever does not do you any harm at all, but makes you feel very miserable. It; starts in with a splitting headache. which raises you off the ground every time it jumps. This is follow- ed by. a chill. You shake from head to foot, and it is ten times worse than ague. After a time your body becomes cold as ice, while your head is burning up. You run up to 105° sometimes. and I have known of one case at 108°. Quinnie is administer- ed unceasingly and the germ killed. However, it is liable to return to you any time, and let you know it is still there. Altogether it is the most miserable, though not very danger- ous, disease that infests this country, In Cebu it is now 10.30 a. m. In Durham it is about 10.30 p. m., and everybody sleeping soundly, It is almost impossible to get a good sleep here, as it is so hot. You toss and roll all the time, and get up in the morning feeling worse than if you hadn’t gone to bed at all. I wish you would tell me who is in power in Canada now, the Conser- vacivea or the Liberals. For the life of me 1 don’t. know and would like to find out. I don’t knov. what to think of the weather here now. The rainy sea- son is on, but the sun is shining and no difference is visible from the dry season, except in the heat. It seems as if it tried to rain here every day, but after raining for a. short time, out pops the sun and puts an end to it. How is the Durham Band coming on? I suppose it is still the 3lst Bath. Band yet, and able to hold its own with the majority, But. I won’t bother you much long- er, It is tedious to you, I’ve no doubt, as it was to me to write. But bear up and don’t get discourag- ed. ‘Ve will pull through all right. If I got discouraged every time}: felt something going against me, I would have been dead long ago. But that’s enough.
