He knows it is the wives of the men who work in the factories. He knows the money is earned by the men, protected by the National Policy of Canada; and consequently he is not fool enough to support tree trade and allow Canada to be flooded with manufactured goods from the United States and turn the Canadian workmen idle, and thus destrOy the splendid market tor his produce he now enjoys, everywhere in this Dominion. Consequently the present government is a minority government, and should any circumstance arise to drive the Conservative and Liberal support away from the U.F.O. candidates in the next election, these candidates will be practically all defeated and the organization would be out of politics. The Conservative farmer who takes his hogs and eggs, butter and poul- try, milk and potatoes and vegetables, to the market in Hamilton, Toronto, Brantford, Galt, Guelph, Peterboro, and hundreds of other manufacturing towns and cities, knows very well who it is that buys his produce and pays him a. big price for it. Just as sure as they start spreading their propaganda of free trade and their propaganda against the manufacturers and workmen of this country just so sure will they wreck the organization which has been brought up, and hside of ten years the U.F.O. will become a thing ot the past, in politics. , The UFO. is a muchroom in politics. It sprung up in a night. And the peculiar thing about it is that the UFO. Government only represents a small minority ot the people.----" the real U.F.U. vote polled in each county would amount to less than one-third of the total votes polled, in each county. . It was not members of the U.F.0. organization who elected the Candi- dates. It was the Conservative party, who were sore on the Hearst Govern- ment, who went to the polls and voted for the U.F.0. candidates, and their votes along with those of the members of the U.F.O. Organization, elected the latter's candidates in a great many counties. The peculiar thing about the leaders of the U.F.O. is that they are all born, and bred free traders, and if they could buy, tor themselves, one plough or one mowing machine, one dollar cheaper in the United States, than they can in Canada, they would sacrifice all the manufacturers and all the work- men in the factories of Canada, for the sake of saving that dollar on their personal implement purchase. #**#****¥***, As I have said before, in these columns, free trade is a bug. It gets into a man's head and works there to the exclusion of all other ideas, and unfortunately it is men with these bugs in their heads who are the leaders of the United Farmers' ot Ontario and it is these men, with this bug in their heads, who will be a source of great danger to the future success of the United Farmers‘ of Ontario. / Not only was it the Conservative vote that helped the U.F.0. candidates, but many Liberals who were not tsatisfied with Mr. Dewart's stand on public questions, went to the polls and voted for the U.F.O. man instead of their own candidate. Now, there is no easier way tor the U.P.0. to lose the support of the Conservative party than by trying to spread a propaganda of free trade over the country. About the only business that the UFO. leaders have to blow about is the placing ot large orders in the United States, tor American-manufactured goods-to be brought Jnto,.thisreountry, thus .increasing the balance of trade against us, and driving- the value of our Gdnef"iid"itir"gtt1rHiirtEisestmttt it otherwise would be. . Teams can bring loads of stone out of bad places where tractors can- not. They can handle the stone just as quickly, if not more so, and in addi- tion, the use of teams gives the farmers owning teams employment on the roads that are being constructed; and thus keeps the money in circufation tn our own province, instead of sending it, in big chunks, to the United States, to buy tractors, and-as these tractors do not require the payment of much wages, most of our money is going into the United States instead of into the hands of our own residents and taxpayers. The result of all this is that about forty-tive U.F,0. candidates were elected to the Legislature, and not one t them received enough votes from actual members of the organization to elect him. ' As a matter of fact, the Hon. Mr. Biggs' could have carried on his road work without the expenditure of such an enormous amount tor tractors, in the United States-tearns are far more practicable for road work than' tractors are.

Mr. Halbert, President of the United Farmers' of Ontario spent a part of last week in the County of Lincoln on an organization tour. He spoke in St. Catharines, GRIMBSY and other pointsin the County. Then he spent considerable time in slam-whanging ,tne manutacwrers and the tariff policy of the country, and devoted very little time explaining the aims and objects of the United Farmers‘ of the Province. If there is any man in the Province of Ontario outside of the Premier, who should be out working hard and sincerely tor the best interests of the whole province, including the farmers, manufacturers, business men and the ordinary people, it is the President of the United Farmers' ot Ontario. lt Mr. Halbert made the same kind of speeches at the other points in the county as he did at GRIMSBY, the people who listened to him are not much wiser now than they were before he came. About halt of his address was taken up in telling about his own troubles in his election campaigns, in his home county-something the people of the County of Lincoln were not interested in to the slightest degree. rwo l THE PEOPLE'S PAPER ESTABLISHED 1885 JAS.

M ILilward, of GRIMSBY formerly of the Winnipeg Telegram Sporting Department, came across a very interesting old bill, advertising that the Full Blooded Horse “Young Shakespeare” was standing tor service in GRIMSBY, in the year 1802, or to be precise 118 years ago. The bill which is not a. very large one, is printed in old style 10 point type and the spe11ing.ot it is typical of the days gone by. In those days all the words that contained an "s" were spelled with an "IP'. We present the bill in We hold these truths to be Belt-evident: That all men are endowed with inalienable rights-except poor men. All who do not pay their honest debts are scamps---except those who cheat on a large scale. All men are sinners "except those who belong to the church. All men are allowed to think and act freely-except those who work for a living., . . , “Sterpleundrum is nature'B own remedy. It is intt11ittle."--Dr. Rufus Opener, president of the Rockmorgan Research College. T "If Sterpleundrum won't cure you, it is your own tau1t."--Prot. Bostock Hides, president of the Amalgamated Scientific Bodies of the World. Norman Bumpstead sat back and waited for orders to pour in. But they didn't pour. They didn't even dribble. Four months passed without an order. Bumpstead was just about to declare himself bankrupt when, as a last desperate chance, he inserted the following adv. in 1,000 newspapers: "I use sterpleundrum to brighten my teeth and polish my shoes, and I give it to my little dog to make him happy. It is just dar1ing."-5'1otssie Tosscurls, star of a thousand moving pietares." _ - _ - The Rube Farmer ot ten years ago had to shave " his whiskers because they kept blowing into his eyes when he drove into town in his $5,000 Supersix and he was constantly running over newspaper wiseguys who had been poking tun at him , A couple of weeks ago we published the letter of a man who was starting a cat ranch in the north. He now writes us to say that he has another scheme, which appears a good one. He says that owing to the high cost of meat of all kinds the new company proposes to raise the ships sunk during the war and get beef tr6m the bulwarks, and also establish a. plant to man- ufacture pork from pig iron. "At last I shall be a rich man!" thought Norman Bumpstead' (he was then 102 years old, going on 103. h . And he took home car loads of sterple tree roots and concocted a medi- cine which he called sterpleundrum. Leading medical men and scientists all over the world, to whom he sent samples, were unrestrained in their praises and gave Bumpstead full permission to use their encomiums as ad- vertising matter. Within three months a million billboards blazed with announcements like the following: - t "iooooooo.e.o.ooo-60or.ooooooooooooooooooootr.ooq The fool said "there is no danger" and stepped too near an ele.e,trit? cable-and is no more.-'-Look not _for Providence to protect you from accident unless you have used the precautlons of common sense.

"The women rule those who govern Grimsby; the children control the mothers, and I rule the children.? "Saving money," says the Hanover Post, "iim't the glorious thing many would have us believe. Nineteen years ago we took a twenty year endowment policy. When it matures next year the face of the policy will buy us a pair of shoes, ten gallons of gasoline, a cord tire and a pair of theatre tickets. And twenty years ago we thought it would buy a house, a meers- chaum pipe, a corduroy waistcoat and a trip around the world." . While shooting hyattises in the Gimjax forests Norman Bumpstead acci- dentally discovered the healing properties ot the root of the sterple tree--- its marvelous ,curative effects when applied to cuts and scratches, balding scalps, overly red noses, creaking Joints, colicky babies, etc. t W ‘In two weeks Norman" Iiumijstead was so rich that he started writing letters to the papers protesting against the income tax. finished If the organization starts; _ -rsrr {a by interefring with MEtai; "r _ tion for its own c'alMmMi3Rlitcr 'c é If the United Farmeré pt real re4'Wltl to the farmers.
