fern- -1- rf THE MARK E R A F RIDAY MARCH Me t Never Lets Up Brighter and Better Each Issue AH Type Set in All Printing Done at Home FRIDAY MAR Really Said A contemporary last week made a great ado over the alleged admission of Premier Ross that the Government of the Province had stolen Hit policy of Opposition with regard to saw- logs Hugging this delusion fondly to its editorial breast it referred to Hon E J Davis speech at Pine Orchard where Mr Davis had claim ed credit for the initiation of this policy by the Government and asked with tremendous indignation Who is right Even before tie learned editorial referred to appeared in print toe point was settled most decidedly in the House when Mr Whitney sought to take the same meaning from the Premiers remarks The Globe reporting the speech said He Mr Whitney several points of Mr Ross speech which he said contained among other things the admission that the sawlog policy had taken from the Opposition MY Ross I said most emphatically that I did not admit it except for the sake of argument And as usual Mr Davis was right Right he was also in stating that this piece of legislation had transfer red the milling industry from Michigan to Ontario where it rightly belonged Of this comes the following admission from the Port Huron Times The permanent closing of the How ard saw mills marks the end of Port Hurons once great lumber industry The industry attained the greatest prosperity between and 1870 but since the latter date it has steadily but gradually declined one mill after another being closed up Some the best white pines ever sawed came down Black River forty years ago but it was all cut long since and the logs that have kept the mills running during the past years have been brought from points up the The Ontario law prohibiting the of loss has given the local indus try the final blow and transferred the business across the St Clair River to The mill owned by Mills Marysville will run only till the present small supply of logs owned by the is disposed of when the last chapter in the lumber indus try on Clair River will have been written The Binder Writers for the Conservative press these days fancy the general public hare wonderful short memories have not made themselves familiar the in the Case respecting J manufacture and sale of twine from the Kingston Penitentiary under Conservative Administrations or else be possessed of unmitigated gall to make statements in connection therewith so wide from the truth For instance one day last week Mr of Peel brought up the on a motion dealing with the output ol bindertwine from the and the Opposition had such an uncomfortable afternoon over it in the House that they will not want to hear anything more about binder- twine during the lifetime of the pres ent Parliament Pacts relating to the Conservative mismanagement were recalled which astonished some of the younger men new to parlia mentary life and now occupying Op position benches who were not fam iliar with methods adopted by their party white In power durri the de cade previous to the advent of Laurler Administration and who es sayed to give utterance to refuted stump orations of the olden time with which they were wont to be re galed by their leaders and by which the rank and file had been lulled into quiet complacency An Ottawa special to the Mail illustrated this when he observed Conservatives have always held that such twine should be sold direct to farmers at a price which would not more than suffice to cover the cost of raw material and manufac ture This announcement respect ing the past policy of the Conserva tive party will be news to politicians who- remember the scandal attached to the penitentiary bindertwine transactions up to and including the season of Hut tbe exposed the of their pretentions detailed the mis management that had characterized Conservative methods connection Connor sold it as be thought best and at the end owed the Conservative in power something like Hon Mr also added that not withstanding this Obligation the out put of was also sold to Mr Connor and in the month of- June be had received from sales In August of the same year he received another 5000 from the sales making altogether and by he end of December the sura amount ed to nearly actually derived from binder twine for which he paid practically nothing to the Govern ment These hard facts retailed by the SolicitorGeneral were a revelation to some of the newer members of the House and caused considerable per Opposition ranks but there was more to follow which clearly demonstrated that instead of it being the policy of Conservatives to sell to farmers it was policy to help combines and serve favorites Mr continued his observations by remarking that after Mr Connor bad gobbled up about he made an assignment to the Government of certain notes which he held order to recoup it for the goods which he had receiv ed The following year Mr- Patrick Kelly Chier Clerk of the Cordage Cpmpany was made agent for the Conservative Gov ernments binder twine output The object was to enable the combine either to control the output for that year or to keep the Governments output from the market until the former had of its own Up to the time ot the change of Govern ment nothing was done to relieve the situation- The output at Kingston was stored away so that it could not go on the market and thus affect the twine offered by the combine One million pounds was thus stored until the time had gone by to effect a sale Then an effort was made to force Kelly to execute his contract but was found he had left the coun try In spite of this the Conserva tives had the audacity to say in re gard to the twine which they them selves had stored up that it had re mained in the present Governments hands and had been sold to party favorites at less than cost What occurred was this The present Gov ernment advertised for tenders and disposed of the twine publicly to Bios who sent in the highest offer Since that time up to August the twine been disposed in the same way tenders being called for Alter that year it was made a condition that farmers should have the right to enter in and make their purchases but notwithstanding the facilities afforded half the output was left on hand last year The question now arises What policy shall be pur sued during the coming season During the SolicitorGenerals speech Mr Clancy suggested that evidence to back up his statements ought to he forthcoming Mr patrick then amid loud Ministerial cheers offered to clearly establish them if a special was ap pointed to investigate the matter or a reference granted to the Public Ac- counts Committee This completely up the mouths of the Opposi tion and when the motion moved in amendment to the proposition of Mr was put to the House it was declared carried unanimously but that there should be no mistake about the attitude of both parties the Gov ernment insisted on the yeas and nays being recorded This was a bitter pill for many of the members on the left of the Speaker but they had brought the matter upon themselves bad made their own bed and the Gov ernment ws bound they should sleep in it But the incident will teach the politicians of today not to place quite so much faith in the ut terances of the Tuppers and Montagues when they occupied
