Ld in the Philippines,

is good reavon for believing that

j toril okeriag, re lting in the closing of idiau twine tacories, had much more

io with it,an! 'at opr farmers have

tleeced in this ¢ gard by an unscrup? ‘ous combine encouraged by the Tarte» Laurier aggregation.

(Juantities of twine are made in the penitentiary at Kingston, The Liberal- Conservative government intended, when they established this industry for the prisovere, that our farmers should re- ceive the benefit of cheaper bindertwine — the stock produced in the penitentiary go~ ing to increase the supply and so moder- ate prices. Let ussee how the business has been managed by the “Business is Business” administration.

Immediately after the election of 1896 —after settling comfortably iato their new offices—the New Liberals looked around t> see how they could reward those of their more influential supporters who had “bled” forthem, They found 500 tons of binder twine in store at the penitentiary. This they sold, without tender, to Coll Brothers, of St. John. For a. considera- tion Coll Brothers transferred the whole lotto the Hobbs Hardware Company, of London. The prices paid the penitenti- ary for the twine were 42-3, 43 and 5} cents per pound, according to quality; and it was sold to the farmers, at harvest time, at from 12 to 15 cents per pound—the inordinate profits going into the pockets of a ring of dealers formed in the meantime with the connivance of the adminstration.

Inthe following year, 1897, there was another lot of 500 tons ot binder twine to be disposed of by tne Government to the Hobbs Hardware Company, of London» for the benefit of the ring, the prices paid

the penitentiary .being '$4.40, $4.75 and $5.25 per cwt ; the prices paid by the farmere being

12 to 15 cents per pound the profits being into the pockets of the ring.

In the next year, the scandal was abroad, and greater care was taken by the Government,—the results however being the same. The Government in 1899, went through the form of issuing a circue lar letter asking for offers forthe twine,but took carethat the circu/ar should be re~ ceived in time only ky the firms which werein the riog. Forthe sake of variety, the twine was this year sold to Messrs H- N. Bates & Sons, of Ottawa, the prices being $4.50 and $4.95 percwt, and the prices paid by the farmers that year were those with which they are familiar.

For the twine manufactured at the peni tentiary between July 1898 aod July 1899 tenders were called—but the ring whick by this time controlled the market, “worked the tenders”-~a certain Martin P. Connolly being put upon behalf of the Hobbs Hardware Company at aa average price of 44;—cents and the farm~ ere had to pay for it an average pricce of 134 cents.

It may be remarked thatthe Hobbs Hardware Company control the'twine out- put of the Central Prison in Toronto, the ring and the Government conducted the business in respect tothe output of

the Kingston Penetentiary,—and so the farmers were fleeced’ The stcck of twine made at the

penitentiary, which ought to have bee. ueed to modify prices, was deliberately handed over toa ring, by which the farmers were bied ‘‘white ” in eo far as binder twine is concerned.

Mr. Taylor, M. P. set forth fhe parti culars of the butiness in a speech which he delivered in the 'House ot Commons on the 8:h of Augast, 1829;—and those of our feaders who desire further ine

| According to his figures the Government got an average price of 43 cents and the | ring @n average price of 135 cents—or . nine cents profit on every pound bought ‘from the Government and eold to the farmere. Mr. Tavior stated that $66,- went to the Government, ‘the Hobbs Manufacturing Company | made $163.667 clear profit, while $399,~ 541,42 clear profit went to the ring as a whole--all out of the pockets of our farmers ! We need not say that this profit ought not to have been made, and that the Goy-

jeroment hadin its hands the power to |preventit. By holding the twine mede }at the penitentiary and disposing of it for the benefit of the farmers it could kave kept the prices down to moderate

and reasonable figures,

I would have our banks make more money then they do by keeping American bille out of circulation. I believe that at least one-third of the money in circu- lation in the Province is American, simply because the banks charge a discount en it instead of gatheriag itin and sendicg it home, thereby sending out their own bills. Take for instance, when the pumping station wasjburat there went up in smoke about three hundred doilare in cash, probably all American money, conse- queatly the American banks make that in clear profit.

THEORIES ABOUT CATARRH.

Pecuiar Ideas Regarding a Common Disease.

Mark Twain’s cure fora cold in the head was simple, but he claims very effective in his owam case; his plan was to eat nothing whatever for twen y-four hours or presumab!y until the trouble had diss appeared.} }

Although not able to speak from per- sone! exnerierce as to the effectiveness of th's treatment, it certainly has the mezit of extreme economy, but it occurs to u- that the application of it to a case of nasal catarrh might be attended with difficulties,

chronic cold in the bead, and Mr, Twain’s treacment, if it should become a fad,would make of us a nation of fasters; an army emulating the example of the immortal, Tanner who achieved world-wide fame by fasting forty days.

Catarrb is certainly becoming a nation- al disease, and there is little doubt but that errors in diet, particularly after eat- ing is @ very Common cause.

Most people, however, are more inter- ested in thecure of the trouble than in the cause, and modern medical science has produced more effective and jess heroic semedies than Mr. Twain’s,

Guaiacol is a new remedy, very effective a some forms of Catarrh. Eucalyptol sanother, which oa account of its anti- peptic properties is very valuable, while

have been entirely cured by the sanguin-~ aria or extract of Blood Root alone.

Within a year an enterprising chemist has combined all of those remedies in | tablet form, palatable and convenient and the superiority of this tablet over other catarrh remedies is so apparent that all druggists now carry them in stock to eup- ply the popular demand,
