J.'L. Parker, manasw\nof the North' Star mine, was one of the\nspeakers to address the meeting, and\ntook up the question from t^o home\nsmolter standpoint.' He had seen discussions in the press, he snid, about the\nrelative charges made by homo and\nforeign smelters, nnd, speaking for the\nNoith Star, he could inform the meet-\ninpr that the chnrges by the home\nsmelters were less than those of llie\nUniled States plants, and ns such wns\nthe case he thought the home smelters\ndeserving of every consideration at the\nhands oi the lemt mining men. He .had\ngone, into the matter exhaustively nnd\nwith the greatest care and found that\nwhile the chnrges at Nelson and Trail\nM'ero 824 a ton those in the States\namounted to \u00a727.75, a difference in\nfavor of the home, smelters of 83.75 p\u00ab-r\nton He believed in Cnnndn for the\nCanadians, and when the smelters had\ndealt as fairly ae 'they had'with the producers, thoy 'should liave the preference\neven if the charges were the same as\nthe foreign ones.\nH\u00ab referi-cd to an article in tho last\niame of this pnper, wliich he said was\n\"Attacking the Canadian smelters.\" and\nsaid the statements made were incorrect, unwarranted, nnd entirely tin\ncalled for. Articles of the kind did nn\nimmense amount of harm in the east\nwhere the standing of the paper was\n_ynU nft\\YJS,j!j**M!BJimBj^\non such publications; arcd to show them\nup in their true light.\nWhen J. L Parker speaks for the\nNorth Star he has every reason to he\nthankful to the local smelters, fnr it Is\na well known fact among mining men\nthat the North Star is one ofthe favored\nheavy-producinir low-grade properties,\nand receives from the smelters a rate\nthat ie fnr below that charged on the\nhigher grade Slocan ores But when J\nL. Paikor, or any other man, says that\nthe local smelter rate is 88.75 lower\nthan the rate chawd hy foreign smelters, J. L. Parker tells what is not true.\nAnd tho statement that the home\nsmelters charge only 821 a ton Is not\ntrue. Hero are tho charges that have\nbeen and are being today snpped out of\ntho Slocan mine owners on the avernge\nten of oro hy our \"Canada for Canadian\" smelters:\nFreight and smelter rate  .815 00\n$1 per 100 lbs  deducted lor marketing....    900\n10 per cent log**: on lead    2 (to\n5 per cent loss on silver    105\n828 25\nWhen we have more time we will give\nJ.L Parker some moro Information on\nthis point.

Today the snmn mine Is\ncharged for the aamn oro and for tho\naamo work 825 80 per ton. Now, If the\nHinelter is not getting Ihe excess of 87,HO\na ton, perhaps J L.

It is possible,\nhowever, to take the con j unction\nof certain conditions, and to base\nupon them a reasonable forecast of\ncoming events.\nThe growth of the mining industry of Canada has been uneven;\nin which the country is not at all\npeculiar. It seems inevitable that\nin all countries, mining, especially\nof the precious metals, should have\nits periods of boom and depression.\nLike the individual mine, the industry generally is now in bonanza\nand again in borrasca. It is not\neasy, indeed it has thus far been\nimpossible, to devise any method\nof equalizing matters and distributing prosperity evenly over the\nyears. The economists who have\nstudied the problem liave generally given it up in despair.\nAt present matters are, toall appearances, improving. The complications which stock speculation\nimposed upon some of the best\nmines in British Columbia, for instance, are in a fair way to be\nstraightened out, and an opportunity will bo given to show their\nreal value. The Eastern Ontario\nmines have found a way to work\ntheir complex ores, and utilize the\nby-products.\nWhile the resources of Canada\ninthe precious metals,  in  nickel\nand lead, are important parts of\nher mineral industry, it seems to\nan impartial observer that only a\nbeginning has been made on the\ntwo branches of mining and metallurgy, which present the greatest\npossibilities for the future, iron and\ncopper.   To take the last-named\nfirst,  some remarkable work has\nbeen done in smelting the low-grade\nores of British Columbia; but this\nseems to be really only a beginning,\nan indication of what may be donej\nin the future.   The extent of the\ndeposits of ore and the proximity\n-of-fuel-aud-other-materlals-point-to,\na much larger production inthe\nfuture.,   There  can be no doubt\nthat  a  period   of   greater  prosperity  is  promised for the copper   smelters.     The   attempt to\nmaintain the metal at abnormally\nhigh prices, and, after that policy\nhad broken down, the effort to force\na general combination of producers by depressing prices havo both\nproved unsuccessful.   The copper\nmarket is now for the first timo in\nthree years in a normal condition,\nwhere the old law of supply and\ndemand has full effect.   The result\nis fccn in tho steady rise of prices\nsince the opening of the present\nyear.   There is no doubt that the\npresent consumption of the world\nis fully up to production, nowith-\nsttwdiitg  recent  increases.     The\nmines mid  smelters  which have\nbeen able to maintain their production on the biwis of 11 cents can\ncertainly prosper when 13 or 14\ncunts wm be realized.   This condition seems likely to lie maintained\nfor some time to come; and it will\nnot only keep existing mines at\nwork, but will stimulate the opening of now oues, and prospecting\nfor other deposits.   Canada is already an important  copper  producer, and   will,   without doubt,\nimprove Its position in this respect\nduring the next few years.\nIn this connection it might be of\nadvantage to establish an electrolytic copper refinery at some convenient point, so that the product of\nthe western mines could he put on\nthe market am fine oouper, ready to\nbe sold at home and abroad, instead\nof selling and shipping converter\nbam or standard cooper, to bo re\nfined elsewhere. The output of\nthe British Columbia initio* will\nsoon be largo enough to warrant\nthia\u2014If it is not to already. It\nwould aeem that this suggestion is\nworth cotwideration.\nTite greatcut opportunity for development in the near future, how-\never, seems to He in the direction\nof iron and steel production. Thaw\nItidiiHtries have, as we know, grown\nwith unprecedented rapidity dae-\ning Ute |**a* two vt   mm*** yvwtn.\nWii'ilH ill'** fct-ui*\u00bb\u00bb m\u00abW )*U~i4 tWfc'-i'iij'\ndue to tiie energy and nuoeeaa of\nthe Dominion Iron and Steel company, It looks a* if that company\nwere mil v a pioneer iu the trade,\nand would undoubtedly have many\nfollower*.\nCanada nas great resource* in\nthia line. It It hardly neccaaary\nto call attention to the iron oeea of\nNova Scotia and the east. In the\ncenter, tbe recent discoveries on\ntiie Hntton Range, which I understand are to tie described by an expert al this meeting, abow that the\nanticipation of important iron we\ndepoftiUin Wentern Ontario, within\nfeonrtnle^t retch of take naviga\ntion are to be fulfilled. The mines\nof Eastern Ontario have been, described by Professor Miller and\nothers. The ores of the coast districts of British Columbia are still\nto be developed, but they exist in\nquantity; while other deposits in\nthat province were well described\nat the last meeting. The raw material is abundant, and on the east-\ntern and western coasts alike, esal\nand coke are within reasonable distance. The modern tendency is\nto carry the ore to the fuel rather\nthan the fuel to the ore. Every\nreduction in the distance required\nfor sach carriage is a distinct economical gain.\nIn considering this question of\nraw materials, I may venture to\nsuggest the hope that Canada, by\nlegislation cr otherwise, will be\nable to avoid the serious economic\nmistake which is now being made\nin the United States. The supply\nof raw material is, as we all know,\nthe life of any trade. The control\nof the iron ore supplies of the\nUnited States is quietly, but\nsteadily, passing into the hands of\nthe United States Steel corporation,\nand practically no effort has been\nmade to prevent it. The big corporation is seeking to control the\ntrade,'not by absorbing its rivals\nso much as putting them in a position where they will bo dependent upon it for material which,they\nmust have, if tbey are to exist at\nall. The enormous power which\nwill thus be concentrated in the\nhands of one board of managers\ncan only   be  appreciated'in. part-\nnow, since a similar condition has\nnever before existed. To repeat,\nit is to be heped that in Canada\nthe mistake of allowing the control\nof a great industry to be held by\none corporation will be avoided in\ntime. The economic danger is\ngreat enough to overbalance any-\npossible temporary advantage.\nFrom the trade point of view,\nCanada is exceptionally well placed\nfor a large development in the\nmining of iron ores, aud the manufacture of iron and steel. The\nhome demand is bound to increase\nsteadily with the increase of population and business, and the belief\nin industrial independence. Beyond this, Canada's position will\nenable its manufacturers to take\nthe fullest advantage of foreign\niharketst_Jhe_ea9tem_milk^ad\nfurnaces have already begun to sell\nin British markets to advantage, as\nwell as in those of the United\nStates. British Columbia has the\nmost important supplies of iron ore\nand the only good coking coal on\nthe coast; advantages which will\nsurely be realized before long.\nCANADA   THK   KL*DOHA DO.\nSouth Africa is not to be compared with Canada for opportunities for young mon of industry.\nThe Minneapolis Journal says of\nthe two countries:\n\"Tho expectid boom for British\nSouth Africans the objective point\nof British emigratiou appears to\nhave died abornin'. There are\ngreat expectations thnt many stalwart men and women in thc United\nKingdom would there seek homes.\nIt is true a largo number of these\nEldorado seekers went into the\nkopje country, but they have discovered that the cost of living,with\ninferior food, is two or three timcH\nas high as it is in the United Kingdom. Tho prices of all the drinks\nwhich the people of tho latter\ncountry love\u2014whiskey, bntmiy,\nbeer, etc.--are enormous, and a\nbungalow, which would bo considered do.tr in England at $400, is\nlooked upon iu South Africa as\ncheap at from $2,500 to 83,000,and\na poor affair at that.

Places under the\ngovernment.are obtained if a man\nhas a 'pull' on some high. official-1-\nnOtot]j%wise. a,\" ]\n\"Such conditions are discouraging African immigration and are\nhelping the Canadian immigration\nagents to turn the migrants to\nCanada as an Eldorado with some\nsubstance to it. Mr. Sift-tin, the\nCanadian minister of the interior,\nhas plainly told the people of Great\nBritain, 'if you don't come soon\nyou will find the best part of our\ncountry has been taken up by settlers from the south.\" There is\nmore truth than fiction in this statement, for since 1890, about 140,000\nAmerican farmers have entered the\nCanadian Northwest and taken the\ncream of the fertile farm lands and\nhave stirred the whole Canadian\npopulation to unwonted enterprise\nunder the quickening touch of the\nAmerican spirit. There is nothing\nlike such a promising section of\ncountry in South Africa. Yet the\nCanadians did not have the knack\nof inducing immigration to head\ntheir way It came in mere driblets, until Americans chose to take\nadvantage of the situation and the\nmovement is conducted on the large\nscale which led Minister Sifton to\ndeclare that 'Americans now own\nthe Canadian Northwest.'\n\"No doubt many of the disappointed emigrants to South Africa\nwill turn to this region to get what\nthey want. Ultimately the northwestern provinces of Canada will\nresemble our own states in their\nprogressive spirit. The Canadian\ngovernment tried for many years\nto get British people to come and\nsettle in Canada, but they came not\nto any appreciable extent until the\nAmericans accepted the invitation\nto enter the country and the eyeB\nof .Englishmen in the old country\nwere opened and they began to see\nvisions and discover possibilities\nfor their own American north west\nthat they had not dreamed of before.\"\n'THINGS  WORTH  KNOWING.\nA practical laundress\nThat tv very;- hot. iron\nsays:\nshould\nnever be used for flannels.\nThat napkins,, should always be\nfolded with the selvedge towards\ntheironer.\nThat calicos, ginghams and\nchintzes should be ironed on the\nwrong side.\nThat washing fabrics that are\ninclined to fade should be soaked\nand rinsed in very salt water to\nset the color, before washing in the\nsuds.\nThat blankets should be washed\nin moderately warm water, in\nwhich a teaspoonful of ammonia\nhas been put to each gallon of\nwater.\n1XTANTJED-SEVERAL PERSONS OF\nTf character and good, reputation in each\nstate (one in this county required) to represent\nand advertise old established wealthy business\nhouse uf solid financial standing.

If the two factors',\n\"heredity and environment play such an\nimportant  pari in   moulding  destiny.\n' then it would seem that the church\nshould study conditions, work for an\n\u25a0economic loundntion,'qnd 'then1' erect n\nsocial structure in which.'spiritual caste\nshall he the basis of social rank.' Well\ndoes Washington Gladden say: 'Christianity, by the lips of frll- its teachers,\nought, with all emphasis, to say to society, your present iudustrpl.system\nwhich fosters those enormous hio'qunli-\ntiea, wlueh i:pein\\it8 ft.fejv to heap up\nmost tof the' gains bf tliis advancing\ncivilization, aiid leaves tho many without any substantial share in them, is an\ninadequate and inequitable system, and\nneeds important changes to make it the\ninstrument\u25a0* of righteousness' Some\nwill aay, Christianize the system. We\nmight as well, try, .to Christianize the\ncaste system of India, polygamy,\nfeudalism or slavery, as our present\ncompetitive industrial system. The\niniuuity of the system may be illustrated oy thc story of ten monkeys that\n, were hunting together,, On coming to\n%\\ stream they see a cocoanut on the\nother side, but how to get the prize is\nthe trouble Nine of them, however,\nfoim a bridge,4he *tent|\u00bb monkey geea\nover, seizes the cocoanut and claims it\nby divine right This is. the claim of\nthe capitalist But how did the first\nmonkey get the cocoanut? By walking\non the backs of the-nine; in other\nwords, ho secured the prize by exploiting the labors of others Exploitation\nis the magic wand that has created the\ncolossal fortunes, and turned out of its\nchannel the stream of divine generosity.\n'I am'a socialist because Socialism is\nin harmony with the ethics of Christianity. It is the logic of Christianity,\nit is \"altruistic, and humane:   It has\n\u2022 been terribly slandered and misrepresented by 'the capitalists and demagogues who have associated it with\nbombs, dynamite and anarchy. The\npolitician, to catch the vote of the ignorant rabble, coupiee Socialism with\nanarchv as though they were identical.\nNothing could he farther from the\ntruth; they are opposite as the poles.\nSocialism no more favors anarchy than\nWashington's patriotism would favor\nBenedict Arnold's treachery Many of\nthe great, the good and the wise are its\nfenthusiastic\"j5:iianipioiis.

Willard, eham-\nEioned it before she died, and in one of\ner last address said: 'Oh, that I were\n.voul1g again,, and it woiild have my\n..... =. .    \u2014       wilder-7\nto oppose it is to fight against God. It\nis.not a materialistic movement to the\nman who sees God-in history, ^lt'is at\nbnttqnn -an, intensely spiritual, movement, and it is for the church to decide\nwhether it will itself become' material\nistic.hy its indifference or. opposition to\na movement the ethjes of which, a^e\nidentical with the ethics of Christianity.\nWill the church fall into line?\" \" \" \u2022 ,J\" ,\nHf-erins *Uofl\"s way out oT\"the\nness, and into the promised land.

Strikes are a thing of the pa-t,\nand the manufacturers seem to be glad\ntc do business with the union, which is\nregarded liy them as a fair and conservative organization Most of the factories put ihe union stamp on their pro\nduct, the,increased demand for union\nmade shoes have heen a large factor in\nbringing about this result.\n\"A gratifying feature of theorganiza-\ntion of the shoe workersof Brockton has\nbeen the entire*. oliiniiiat'ou of child\nlabor iu the factories. Tlie executive\ncouncil of the shoe workers has made\ncompliance with this condition one of\nthe requisites upon wliic^ the usw of\nthe union stamp is granted. Many\nmanufacturers have expressed nival\nsatisfaction thai the era of child labor\nwith thein has passed, and say now that\nthis class of labor never was profitable.\nThe shoe workers aro not the only\nones who have heen benefitted by the\nlabel movement in Brockton. Through\nthe shoe workers' efforts nearly every\nother industry in Brockton has been\norganized, and even the newsboys ha re\na good organization, with a charter\nfrom the American Federation of Labor\nand business houses in all lines display\nunion j-fhop cards.\"\nMr. Jumes is very enthusiastic over\nHie outlook in the east from a trade\nunioii standpoint and expects good re\nsuits from the work of the executive\nboard at its recent session.\nsterling; but the rate of interest has declined from 4& per- cent; iu 18\"8 lo 2\\\nper cent The national expenditure iu\nthat year reachedt approximately \u00a33,-\n000,000, as compared with \u00a318,000,000\nlast year.' The revenue' has increased\nin a somewhat smaller ratio, beihj less\nthan the gross expenditure in 1838 hv\nabout \u00a380,000, and in 1902 by over a\nmilli-pn. The steady decline fit the rate\nof interest'paid has of course materially\naffected.the public expenditure for thc\nservice of the debt, which though,non-\nSi times greater than at confederatiQn,\nthu interest oh the consolidated .funds\nhas also doubled.

The\ngreat opportunity presented was to\nutilize it in this country, and not sell to\nothers\nHe remarked tlmt he came from the\nother side of the line, aud might ho sup*\nnoted to take a different view: hut lie\niuul tried to look nt the matter from the\nstandpoint of a Canadian, ami it would\ncertainly bo a greater advnntaue to\nCanada and Its people to rather hold\nhack and not soil the iron oro tn partle*\nfrom outside, In the hope of immediate\ndevelopment.\nThey all knew what groat advances\nthe Dominion Iron and\" Steel company\nhad made In the list two or Hire* yean,\nnnd ho thought there was op|>ortiiiilty\nfor nu equally iirent development in the\nWeitern part of the Dominion The\nBritish Columbia mines, both on Ihe\ncoast and iu somo parts of the interior,\ncould furnish an enormous amount of\nore.

Mr. Eberts was talking of\nHon. Mr. Curtis.\nMr. Curtiq, he said, had not only\ngarbled the facts but had told untruths also.\n\"Mr. Speaker, I appeal to the\nchair,\" broke in Mr. Curtis, \"I\nask that the expression be at once\nwithdrawn.\"\n\"Well.\" replied Mr. Eberts, \"I\nwill withdraw it\u2014I will say the\nhonorable gentleman used words\nthat wero not true. Is that per-\nmissablo?\"\n\"The expression is not parliamentary,\" held Mr. Speaker. \"The\ncorrect parliamentary manner of\nexpressing the sentiment is that the\nhonorable member made an inaccurate statement.\"\n,A11 this makes one feel like saying ohell!\nA lie is not and is \"an inaccurate statement.\" j\nA lie is more than an inaccurate statement\u2014it is a lie. \" j\nAnd the fact that the liar is an \\\n\"honorable gentleman\" does not\nmake him anything more nor any\nthing less than a liar.\nThere seems to bo so many liars\nin the halls of legislatures and\ncongress that \"honorable gentleman\" has become pseudonymous.\nWhich is the better, to BE or\nto HAVE?\nMen and women strive so hard\nto have and so little to be;\nAnd yet the having is only the\nsmallest and basest part of life.\nHaving a good t\u00bbme, like having wealth, is having something\nthat is transitory, that does not\nlast\u2014something that (loes not add\nto our character nor benefit others.\nBeing is the nobler.\nAnd to be is to have, for in being we serve, and through service\nwe add to ourselves by giving to\nothers.\nOur characters are built up bv\nGreat Britain and in Canada has\nbeen done in opposition. George\nBrown, the founder of the Liberal\nparty in Canada, was scarcely ever\nin office, and cared little for office.\nAgain and again he declared that\nthe object of public men should\nnot be to hold office, but to educate public opinion, to secure the\ntriumph of their convictions, and\nto have their measures carried. In\nGreat Britain the tone of public\nlife has been raised by men who\nwere not eager for office, and who\nwere willing to give up office tlie\nmoment it ceased to be useful and\nhonorable. Johu Bright was a\nconspicuous example of tho tribune\nof the people who thought more of\nthe people and of his convictions\nthan ofthe emoluments and tinsel\nof office.\nUTILIZING   SLATK   WASTE.\nQ Ml\nPreparations are being mado in\nWal<28 to utilize the enormous\ndumps of slate waste that fringe\nthe quarries. By a patented prp-\ncess the slate refuse is to be pulverized, mixed with a special\nbinder, and finally pressed into\nblocks which it is said will stand\nvery high pressure before crushing.\nThe composition is suitable for\nmaking roofing tiles, which can be\nmarketed, according to the in-\nvt-ntor, at a cheaper rate than the\nordinary tiles. Theso tiles are\nlight in weight and can be pro-\nduced in any color. Negotiations\nhave been opened for the purpose\nof beginning operations fooii. either\nat Llanberis or iu the Nantile valley, where some of the more important slate quarries are situated.\nItis interesting to remark tliat in\nthe United States pulverized slate\nis being used in iho manufaccure\nof pencils, cement and paints, pro\nducts that sell at a good price. The\nutilization of the vast slate refuse\nheaps at the quarries will''be most\nwelcome, besides affording some\nprofit to those associated with ihe\nindustry.\nDKgOKIPl'IOXS IN NOTIONS (If MINERAL.
