• Now, I thi.ikt•ttho statements made
by the honorable gentleman .(Mr.
Foster) go to show that the condition
• of the country is very grave, that its.;
financial condition is imperiled. rou
have great public works and enter-
prises existing- inn the country., none
of which are r'emunerative:at this
moment, and -the largest of swatch
are not paying current expenses.
This is a serious condition of things,
which requi'es'to bo carefully <con-
sidered by this ITouse during 'this
session, or, the House will be 'dirdlict
in its duty, 'The time has ,come
when it will ,xlo longer serve the
purpose of the Government to 'give
charters for railway lines to penniless
adventurers tin order that they; may
sell the land :grants attached, and
make private:fortunes at the public
expense. There was a period in the
history of the mother country when
the Crown domain was given :away
to favorites of the Crown, and the
Crown domain • in' Canada bas for
some years been in the same way
h bestowedon the favorites not .of the
Crown, but ;of Tithe Administration.
:During last session we had a railway
charter given rto•a company composed
',of men without means or capitol,
for the construction of a road through
a section where no settlers had yet
gone and whores -tone are required
• where none ought to be for the ;next
twenty years. Lind for what putt -
i pose ? To promote the public kite -
Test ? Not at ;rill. For the purpose of
• enabling sonae:men to make a fortune
by offering the:tharter to capitalists
in New York, England, or the +eon-
tinent of Eurepe. But the time has
„gone by when that system can lounger
be practiced, and it is in the in
• terests of the people of this country

<IHOw THE TAS141D'IAN HAS BEEN I,'-
CTGa1�.4SED.
This is the farst;time we have had
:a.statement from honorable gemtile-
lren opposite of the relative condition
,of this country. For the last fifteen
%years the honoralbleagentlenlen have
<oarefully ignored ;the fact that there
-was a general ctclpression throughout
the world from ]hb i5 to 1880 ; they
shave carefully ignored the fact dar-
ting that period t>&at&Canada suffered
less than almost any other country
lin a'Christendom. 'They have care -
'fully ignored the font that real pro-
perty did not shrinlin value at- all,
:and that personal !property and
manufactured goods, :sues as textile
fabrics, shrunk in%value less in
Canada than in the United Kingdom,
.theaUnited States or Germany. But
the ilfonorable gentleman says : "Oh,
but you hada clefleit then, and your.
deflt3it happened notwutlhstanding the
fact that you did not reduce the -
taxes:" Well, Mr. Speaker, out rate
of taxation was a little auore than
half the present rate et' (laxation. if
we bad been disposed, in ;a period of
distress, to increase ta!aation on the
people of Canada we .night very
easily have made up the amount of
the deficit that then existed. Tho
honorable gentleman said.: "But 1
reducedthe rate of taxation:" How
did the honorable gentleman reduce
it ? He took the taxes off sugar. He
says he made a large concession to
people there. Well, Sir Leonard
Tilley argued in this House for three
sessions that the tax on sugar did
not increase the price, and be com-
pared the prices of •sugar in the 'New
York market with the prices of saggar
in Montreal and Halifax to show that
no increase took place as the result
of the tariff. The honorable gentle-
man, no doubt, bas obtained light
s. since that period, and so, no doubt,
A, have his colleagues and his friends
who sit behind htin, and we are glad
that he is now ready to make this
.coneession ; but the reduction of the
duty' on sugar is indeed a veru small
matter when compared with the
actual rates of taxation on almost
everything else throughout the coun-
try.

KNOWLEDGE
Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet-
tor than others and enjoy lifo more, with
loss expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the world's best products to
the nods of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the puro liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas-
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax-
ative ; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling golds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It bas given satisfaction to millions and
mot with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid-
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak-
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug-
gista in 75c. bottles, but it is manu-
factured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also tho name, Syrup of Figs.

Some people think that in order to get value for their money in Furniture -
they must send to Toronto. This is a great mistake, in my opinion, for a
great deal of the Furniture that is advertised in Toronto is manufactured
j right here in Wingham, and I think you can buy just as cheap at horne:arnd
have the goods delivered and set up in your homes free of extra cost. You-
