'.Che last quarterly report of the Do- partnient of Trade and Commence does not exhibit the financialpasitionof the Dominion ina very favorablelight. The comparison for three months with saxue period in 1896 is as follows: Revenue. 1896 1807 Customs $5,020,055.98'$5,932,499.055 Excise 1,047,966.77 1,289,543.78 Postoffice 665.000.00 700,000.00 Public Works, including rlys. 1,031,458.52 1,010,983,47 Miscellaneous 171,829.01 212,721,42 $8,840,208.28 $8,314,757.72 Expenditure $4,662,850.70 $5,477,672.08 Decrease in Revenue 531,460.56 Increase in Expenditure 815,321.38 Aggregate deficiency as com- pared with last year $1,346,781.94 The above statement does not sus- tain the claims of the Liberal organs that there has been awonderful degree • of prosperity created by the changes in the fis_a1 sonny of the country. In an article reviewing the recent in- I ternational negotiations at Washing - tong the Philadelphia Record a}clmits that; as far as reciprocity is concerned, the thinghas fizzled out, "The states- men of Canada have departed," says The Record, "and with them have vanished the roseate speculations in regard to a more liberal policy of trade with that country." The Pro- tectionist party is as dominant in United States politics to -day asit was when the Dingley bill was passed. The prospects are that Canada will not only not secure any reciprocity treaty with the United States but before long the harriers obstructing trade between the two countries will be raised high- er. Our leading exports to the United States are luxnber, coal, wool, barley eggs and a few other farm products.. Anyconcession in areciprocity treaty in regard to these exports, says The Re- cord, could not obtain a hare majority, much less the needed two-thirds vete, in the Senate of the United States. Instead of a. reciprocity treaty Canada may soon expect to see further hostile legislation directed against her trade. The protectionists in power at Wash- ington not only denounce any policy that would lower the barriers of trade with Canada, but demand that para- graph 22 of the Dingley Act should be re-enacted and that other obstruc- tions should be placed upon reciprocal trade. This country may as well accept it as a facttliat no trade concessions are to be made to it by the United States. On the contrary, we may any day look out for the abrogation of the bonding privileges, the imposition of the discriminatory 10 per cent. duty on goods imported into the United States by Canadian railways, and other similar hostile measures, We are afraid Sir Wilfrid Latuier's last mission to Washington will not re- dound to the self-respect and pride of the Dominion. THE DUTY OF TIU.NRFULNESS. "And be ye thankfuI," was the apostolic admonition, and we trust it will be cheerfully obeyed by all our readers to -day. It is to be feared that too many people look upon Thanks- giving Day simply ase dayefpleasure. associating it only with roast turkey and a good time generally, and quite losing sight of the real meaning and purpose of the day. It is quite meet that friend should feast friend, and that ourtables should be loaded to an unusual extentwith good things ou the day set apart for the expression of gratitude for the bounteous blessings bestowed upon us. But too many peo- ple are content to partake of the bounties without any special expres- sion of thankfulness therefor. In- gratitude is said to be the blackest of sins, and those surely are doubly un- grateful who mark this appointed day with a special feast, but who utter no word of thanks for the special bounties of which they are partaking. We trust this sin of ingratitude is not one of which any of our readers are or will be guilty. Nor should we forget that while it is seemly that there should thus be a united nation- al expression of thanksgiving, it is our duty in all things and at all times to give thanks for the multitude of our daily blessings. Most of us are liberal enough in presenting our peti- tions, especially for material bless- ings, to the Giver of all good things ; but after we have received the boun- ties we craved, and even more than we have asked or thought, how prone are we to neglect to return thanks therefor l Of bow many, and how often is it true, as Mrs. Browning says "And lips say, 'God he pitiful, That ne'ersaid, 'God be praised." Within the last few days another in- cident has been given us in Toronto, of the absolute necessity that exists for teaching people generally some- thing about hygienic principles. Two children nave jest been poisoned by the inhalation of coal as, escaping from a defective stove, the pipe of which passed through their bedroom. These chilitei knew no better than to sleep with their door andwindow closely fastened, so that once the gas entered the room it was impossible for it to escape: Hence the children's death. A precisely similar case to this occurred only a few months ago within -a few hundred yards of the very house where the 'recent tragedy took place, and these are not the only cases ofthe, kind. Had these people been told or been taught that to sleep in a room with a door or window tightly .closed and iso ventilation, is in itself a most 'dangerous practice; and that to go to sleep in an,, air tight apartment, into which noxious gases may enter, is a suicidal act, their deaths ,night not now have to be 'chronicled. A little less educational "frills," and a' great deal more of common sense teaching in our Public schools and all would be benefited.

De- tective John Murray has done a lot of good work in his long career,but those who are acquaintedwith thedifficulties that beset him in this case and the in- fluences at work, recognize in the con- viction a very fine piece of work. Mr. Murray has had three big cases on his hands this fall, the Convey case, the Sternamen case and the Orr murder. He has secured convictions in the first two, and will now devotehis attention to the Orr case at Galt. What might have been a serious fire took place at the residence of Mr. R. Skinner, St. Marys, early Friday morning. It appears that Joseph Skinner rose at about 5 o'clock and it is supposed the bed clothes were ignited while lighting the Thee $ e was first noticed about t seven o'clock by Mrs. Herman who lives just across the road and she gaye the alarm. Mrs. Skinner was alone with the children and beingunable to en the door on account of the smoke, she ran outside and broke the glass with her hand in order to get water into the room. In doing so she cut her hands badly. The fire was.extinguished be- fore much damage was clone. The curtains and blinds were destroyed. Fire in Old London One of the nxost disastrous fires on record was that in London, England, ou Friday last, the loss through which will probably be $10,000,000, with in- surance at about half the amount car- ried by American. Companies. The last flames disappeared at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. The railroads were running excursion trains from the country. About300 firms are engaged in seeking for new offices. The (AH-- cia4 report says the cause of the fire is unknown. A large number of ware- houses of from five to six stories high have .been burned, and have partly fallen, the whole covering alt area of 200 yards by 150 yards, bounded by Nicholl Square, Edmunds Place, Jewin Crescent, Australian. avenue, Paul's alley and Red Cross street. The in- surance agents take an optimist view of the losses, their estimates ranging from £300,000 to £800,000, It is a fact that dozens of the btunedout firms were not insured, in some cases because the locality had long been con- sidered dangerous by the insurance companies.

WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS have Clone for others they will - do for you, if given a fair trial. From the Meaford, Ont., Monitor. About two years ago the Monitor procured an interview with Mr. Reuben Petch, Griersville, in •order to ascertain from his own lips if the re- ports were well founded that he at- tributed his most astonishing return to health to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pillsfor Pale People. The result of the interview was published in the Monitor under the date of Jan. I7th, 1896. Mr. Petch's case was certainly one of the most extraordinary in the annals of medicine in Canada -if not in the world. He had been ill for five years and in that tulle he consulted no less than six of the best physicians he could find, but none could give him the least relief. His 'limbs and body were puffed and bloated to such an ex- tent that he could not get his clothes on, and for two years he had not • dressed. He had lost the use of his limbs entirely. His flesh seemed to be dead, and pins could be stuck into vari- ous parts of his body without being felt or creating the slighest sensation. He could not move about and if be attempted to get up would fall and would have to be lifted up. He was unable to open his month sufficiently to take in solid food, and had to be fed with a spoon like a child. The doctors said his trouble was spinal sclerosis, and that be could not possibly get better. He was in fact nothing more or less than an animated corpse, so helpless was he. He Was a member of the Canadian Mutual Life Association, and was under their rules entitled to disability insurance and made a claire for it. Two doctors on behalf of the association, were sent to examine him, and they pronounced him incurable and permanently disabled, and in accordance with their report be was paid a disability insurauce of $1,650.00. This was about two years after his sickness began. Fur three. years more he lingered in the condition 1 above noted, utterly helpless, and a burden to himself and friends. He was then advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. He diel not hope that they would help him but in his sac] con- dition he was prepared to grasp at anything that afforded th c prospect of even a slight relief. The first change noted iu his condition after he• began the use of the pills was a disposition to sweat freely. Then life began to re- turn to his hitherto dead body, and from that time on his progress to- wards recovery and actiyity ' was steady and certain, The publication of the interview, ' containing the facts above noted, created unusual interest, not only in this section but throughout Canada. That a man, whose limbs and body were all but dead, who had been ex- amined by medical experts, and pronounced incurable and on the strength of their report was paid alarge disability claim, should afterward be cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, was looked upon as it marvel. Many were skeptical not as to the cure -for the fact that he was actively going about proved this -but. they did not believe it would prove permanent. In view of the doubts then expressed, the Monitor determined to watch the case closely, and now, nearly two years after the cure was first published, has again in- terviewed Mr. Petch, with the result that we are in a position to say most emphatically that this remarkable cure has proved permanent. On being again questioned, Mr. Fetch said :-"You see those hands -the skin is now natural and elastic. Once they were hard and without sensation. You could pierce them with a pin and I would not feel it, and what is true of my hands is true of the rest of my body. Perhaps you have observed" that I have now even ceased to use a cane, and can get about my business, perfectly well You may say there is - absolutely no doubt as to my care be-• ing permanent, Indeed I am in even: better health than when .I gave yotr. the first interview." "Do you stili attribute your cure to the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills ?"asked the Monitor. "Unquestionably I do," was the rel ply. "Doctors had failed, as had aim the numerous remedies recommendedi by my friends. Nothing I took hail the slightest effect upon me until I be- gan the use of Dr. Williams' Pills - To this wonderful medicine I owe my release from a living death, I have - since recommended Dr. Williams' Pink. Pills to many of my friends, and the verdict is in their favor. 'shall always bless the day I was induced to take. thein." The above are the chief statements- xnade by Mr. Petch in this latest inter- view, and the Monitor may remark,. from a long acquaintance with him, that we consider his statements abso- lutely true and reliable. He has no interest to serve other than a desire to recommend the medicine that has done, so much for him, and we feel sure that if any sufferer will write Mr. Petch,. enclosing a, stamp for reply, he will endorse all the statements made above. We may f el ther add that Mr. Petch's remarkable recovery leaves no doubt of the wonderful curative powers of Dr. William's Pink Pills, and it seems - reasonable to infer that they will do - for others what they have done for - him -restore health and vitality. The check at the head of this article • is a fac simile of the one by which Mr. Petch's disability claim was paid and is given in further corroboration of his statement. Mrs. Ann Pullman, an old settler of Hibbert, was heeled in the Methodist cemetery on Saturday last. She lived to be nearly 95 years of age, and enjoy ed good health almost up to the last. Throat Coughs Is them a tickling in , the throat? Do you cough a great deal, especially when lying 6down? Are you hoarse at 1 times? Does nearly every cold Tou take settle in your throat? hese "throat coughs" are very deceptive. Don't neglect them. Troches, or cough syrups won't touch the spot. You must take remedies that will enrich the blood, tone up the nerves; and heal the in- flamed membranes. SCOTT'S EMULSION of Cod-liver Oil with Hypophos- phites contains sack remedies.
