average for the United States being a
decline of 12.9 per cent., and Canada's
intimate relations with thatcountry,
suffered a decline of only 3e• per cent.
The year 1894 saw a continuance of
the distress, The tariff went into act-
ion that autumn, a tariff not nearly so
low as the Liberal party is hungering
to inflict upon Canada, and the auy-
thing-but-merry-war went on, The
bank clearings declined twenty-six per
cent., more than double the ,decline in
1898. The drain of gold continued and
the legal limit in the treasury was titue
and again drawn upon. Loans have
been floated, amounting to hundreds of
millions, under the economical govern-
ment which wished to protect the coun-
try from taxation, and the foreigners
who supplied the gold at a good profit
with one hand drew it back again with
the other. Importers could bring in
goods at a somewhat less duty, but
when these came in they lay unsold on
the shelves, and the bulk of them are
lying there still ' And the farmer -the

HARD, HARD FACTS. .
It is a law of nature that when a
wound heals the pain of it is forgotten.
It is now almost a score of years since
Canada was plunged into disaster by a
low tariff policy, and since then a gen-
oration of voters has sprung up . which
riot having the wholesome experience
of such a tariff before its eyes, is subject
to be led astray by specious arguments'
It is true that nearly every business
man who passed through the troublous
time of 1S74.7i, has spoken bitter notes
of warning', but there is nothing' like
experience as a teacher. That experi-
ence the younger generation of Cana-
dians has had, not at home, but in the
United States, and the following account
of the disasters into which the: United
States was plunged by the revenue tar-
iff party will be familiar to all, and
should counteract the endeavors of the
Revenue Tariff party to subject Canada
to a similar visitation.
We will in brief compass outline the
disasters from which our neighbors suf-
fered by a step tcwards free trade, a
single step.
When the American election of '92
drew near and it was apparent that
side issues would probably return the
revenue tariff party to power, the fore.
igu investor took fright and began to
pour into the n'arkets that flood of
American securities which, as it was
<i.e :lest signal of approaching disaster,
was at the'same time. one of its acceler-
ating causes. When the Democrats
got into power they determined to re_
duce the tariff, and loug before their
:cw tarn went into force the country
itself showed by a tininess in trade and
a le slt.:ey in doing business that it

between December, 1892, and March
sSita.
Al'_ this time the country was only
threatened with a low tariff. It will be
remembered that considerable difficulty
was experienced in getting the tariff
xssed. and that it was put into force
only hi 1594, and without the consent
of the president. But the mere know
ledge that the tariff was intended, act
Ing as a deterring' influence upon the
activity of every branch of .industry,
precipitated panics and crises unparal-
leled in the annals of trade. Merchants
knew not whom to trust, and credits
were curtailed; manufacturers knew
not what blow was to fall upon them -
and were indisposed to make contracts
or to accumulate stock. Hundreds of
manufactories shut down, thousands re-
duced. wages and worked at half time,
and before the close of the year the
army of the unemployed was numbered
by hundreds of thousands. The public
grew more and more alarmed and
withdrew its money from the banks
and 'other savings institutions, and
within the year over six hundred banks
and loan and mortgage companies
were forced to the wall, with liabilities
of one hundred and seventy millions'
Within nine months firms representing
three hundred and twenty-five millions
of dollars had failed. The decline in
trade so seriously affected the railroads.
that quite one-third the total mileage
of the United States passed into bank-
ruptcy.
The withdrawal of deposits in banks
intensified the crisis and the closing
days of June saw the financial men of
New York vainly offering eighty per
cent, for short loans on the very high
-
,est security. Every one who. could get
currencyimmediately concealed it.
The batiks transacted business for sev-
eral months by means of millions of
dollars of clearing house certificates,
.and the currency of Canada was richt-
-ally used in New York, the financial
centre of the New World, while the
'whole country looked longingly to our
banks for help, We have it on the
authority of the president of the Bank
of Cbmmerce that the applications for
money during the summer and autumn
of 1898 from every kind of business
oneern, incliidiug banks from the
Western States to the Atlantic Ocean,
were simply innumerable, and that
these applicants were but that meagre

Quebec Chronicle, before election
day: Sir,'Gool tion, Mr, 4,aillon's an-
tagonist, Who is playfully alluded to as
Mr, Laurier's coming Minister of Just
ice, made a speech at Varenues, In
that speech he made a statement which
is causing a great deal of discussion in
the county, l=lis' hearers were much'
surprised to hear his declasation that
the Government's Remedial Bill did
not go far enough, and that this is why
the French Liberals voted ;against it..
He repudiated, in the fullest manner
possible, the idea of:giving half a loaf
to the Manitoba minority. They are
not beggars, he declared; they do not
ask for charity, but their rights, and
these they would get; if they returned
the Liberals to power. The Manitoba
Government, he added; must give pub_
lie aid to the Catholic Seperate Schools,
when they are restored. , This is an
important statement. ' Does he voice
the sentiments of his leader on this sub-
ject ? Does Mr. Laurier enders° this
declaration, which actually says, that
the Liberals will demand public aid for
the Manitoba Separate schools, when
hey are restored? - Mr. Geoffrion is not'
one of those who speaks at random, or
without authority. We would like a
little more information our this point.

Paine's Celery Compound
Promptly Cures This
Insiduous Disease.
The liver is the great house -keeper.
of our health. On its, right and proper
action depends our enjoyment of life.
One of the simplest indications of a
disordered atmd diseased livor is a oast
tongue—furred amid coated. The coat
ed tongue is proof positive that your
liver isnot working well. Other symp-
toms are as follows: nauseous taste in
the mouth, pains under the shoulder
blades, and in the region of the kidneys
The mental symptoms of liver troublis
are often far worse than the bodily ills,
Sufferers experience mental anguish,
glpomy forebodings, melancholy and a
general feeling of disgust with life.
When these bodily and mental troubles
are experienced, your liver tells you it
wants help, If help is not given at
once, sickness and death must result.
Thousands have found Paine's Cel-
ery Compound a sure and certain cure
for liver disease. It always acts prompt•
ly on the great nervous system and re-
stores that healthy and natural action
that the liver must have at all times,
Paine's Celery Compound drives from
the system all the poisons that have
accumulated; and the sick one regains
his old-time vim and energy; the mus
cies and tissues are made hard and
firm, the skin clear and fresh, so that
perfect herlth is the result.
Read this letter written by Mrs. Geo.
Durant, of Elma, Ont. No stronger
proof can be given of the virtues and
powers of Paine's Celery Compound in
the cure of liver troubles:—"For many
years I have been a sufferer from liver
troubles. and have doctored with sever-
al physicians, but only found relief for
a very short time. My. husband ad-
vised me to try your Paine's Celery
Compound. I did so, and found so much
relief from the first bottle that I contin-
ued, and I am now using the third bot-
tle, Your Compound has done more
for me than any physician. For
months before using the Compound 1
never had one night of sound sleep;
but now I can go to bed and sleep
soundly and naturally, and feel like a
new creature is the morning.

!,
iti e celebrated yesterday thebirth of
the great Dominion. Itisaltogether to be
doubtel that any nation under the suis
can boast such genuine progress, pot-
itical and material, as that with which
Canada has been blessed during the
twenty-nine years of its existence as a
united country. Our territory has been
enlarged, our population has grown,
our industries have multiplied, our
commerce has greatly expanded. In
fact, we have gone step by st.ep onward
until we occupy a position which ought
to inspire us with pride as to the 'past
dad with hope as to the future. What
we have achieved has been accomplish-
ed under grave and serious difficulties
from within. U lion was opposed by
men who disliked the British system.
It was attacked bythese same men
afterit wss effected with a view to
bringing it to a sudden end. Progress
in all directions, whether through the
addition of new territories or the pro-
viding of facilities for the rendering of
these territories habitable has been ob-
structed and made difficult. But, in
spite of the enemy within the gates,
we have steadily advanced, until we
are enabled to look with pride and
satisfaction at the condition we have
attained. There is much more to be
done. Our great North+West is await-
ing population. The unoccupiee'lands
be the older provinces have been neg-
lected by the Provincial Governments.
They need settlers. The great mining
resources of the country are calling for
development. The industries require
defence, efficient and certain. A new
policy has been suggested to us—a
commercial policy that shall give us a
better position in the markets of the
Motherland. New projects have been
unfolded—projects which, by adding
to the resources' of our own producers
by bringing us nearer to our over -the -
sea customers, shall contribute to our
industrial advancement. There; is
work, much work, to be done by those
patriotic Canadians who inherit the
programme and the traditions of the
founders of the Confederation. That.
work is for the moment laid. aside. We
are doomed, not, let us hope, to, fall
backwards, but at least to mark time.
We are about tb enter upon that per.
iod in our existence as a country to
which all progressive peoples are;liable,.
the period of arrested development.
While progress , is stared or delayed,
let us not lose hope or faith iu our fu-
ture. On the contrary, let us draw
nearer together and strengthen our-
selves for the next bound forward,
which will he decided upon when once
again the people speak.
Simple Precautions Insure
Complete Victory.
A Child Can Use Diamond Dyes
Successfully.
When using the world famed Dia-
mond Dyes for home dyeing., use fresh,
clean. soft water; hard and impure
water mars the beauty of the shades.
Wooden, earthen or enamelled vessels
are best.
Old articles before dyeing should be
well washed with soap and water to
remove dirt or grease, and rinsed in
hot water and dyed while damp When
any particular shade is wanted, the dye
should be tested by dyeing a small
piece of the stuff.
If these few precautions are observed
you will be able to produce richer,
brighter and more lasting colors than
any steam dying house can give you:
Be sure your dealer gives you the Dia
mond Dyes; they are the only warrant-
ed dyes in the world.
