Thin Trtle ry. Charles Tupper moved the ano preferential amendroent ot which Foster gave uotice last week and eed by suggesting that Mr. Field- • ' g's " Story of the Budget' should be arderidea to read as follows: "It is the story of a party wile glad - the federation they did their utmost ta bstruct. Is the story of a. party who, bay - leg feiled to defeat the construction of the Canadian Pacific raihvay, now boasts of what it bas achieved for the country, "It is the story of a linty that, after the denueciation of protection, hay adopted Inas their pollee.. It is the story a a party who pledged themselves to secure lentual pereferential trade between Englaml Wel Canada. and afterwards d. elartel they did not wish that policy 'adopted. " is the story of a party who have • violated every pledge tbey gave the country when eeeking power. It is the story of a party who avow- ed the policy ot promoting trade with the mother country and so changed the treat as to cause a diminution of elnesienrorte of Euglarel in three years Of more than three per cent, and an in- crease of imports from the United States. of over thirty seven per cent, in the same period. " It is the story of a party who op- Rosed t:ending Caaridian contingent to help England in South Africa until forced by their opponents to do so, and. now claim the eisonee to themeelvae Cenathe sends men and mouey to South Africa to assist- Great Britain in her war with the Boers. The Govetn- Anent also allows the manufacturers of the mother country to semi their goods iuto Canada at 3.43e per cent, less duty than is:charged the United States and other countries. For this, the Liberal party say they ehoulcl ask nothing in 'teturn. The Venservative party how- ever, ask that the Canadian' tarniere should get same benefit from thete en_ 7s, and they eontend that Great Wt'ilititi olou•Le. reciprocate by placing estuffe imported a entail duty on breve. not em- • into England from countriee e braced in the British Empire. a e -• e lensigeee is beteineee, says Sir. Charles TuOneie and the Conservative party proposes that vvhen British goods are allowed to Outer Canada ah , 33e per cent, less duty than is charged other couritt•ies. England might to ive us something of value in ex- ange. The beat thing she can do is put a small tariff on agricultural leeoducts she imports frorn the United •States, Russia and other countries out- side the Empire. That would give the British colonies the first chance in the bese, market of the world. It would naa,ke Canada more prosperous than she ever has been. The farmers of le, Huron ought to see at a glance the Mee advantage of supporting the Conserva- tive party with a policy so fraught with benefit to tbemselves. Something Gone Wrong. --- • st, John, N. B., Sun. There is sorriething wrong with the Governixient papers of Canada. Mr. • Fielding has annouuced a surplus of nearly five million dollars, and has predicted one of nearly seven millions tor the current, year, Yet we do not find the Grit papers wailing about millions wrung from the pockets of the people by unjust and unnecessary taxes, nor crying out against the iniquitous tariff which has enabled the Government to grind out of the poor man all tbese awful millions. In fact those papers applaud Mr. Fielding and ask for more. Compared with their .attitude,towa.rd the Liberal -Conserva- tive Government, what a spectacle or incorisistencees But, they have their re- ward. They draw their pay. The Globe published a letter from Capt G L Money, of Mitchell, trans- • mitting a cheque for $29e.90 as Mit- cheles contribution to the Patriotic Fund, along with a full list of the clon ors. Sohn White, an old bachelor, of Brooksdale, was found dead Friday morning just outside of a farrnetee gate a little way from the village. There was no maks of violence on the hotly, and it is hardly probable that there was foul play. It was more like- ly a case of heart failure. George, son of David McCutcheon,of the leth liue, McKillop, had an etepes rience the other day that he will not soon forget. He was -walleitig along- side a load. of wood when it upset upon him, completely covering hire. He y in this position for about bale an boue, when fouled by Calvin Hiller], who releasea him.

D. teneesenY, Clerk, ZiOn PanseszerivoN.-There was a very pleasant evening spent at the hot, of Mr and „Mrs Albert McPherson on April 90, when 115 parents and. chil- dren gathered to bid them adieu, upon their departure from our midst to re- side in Strathroy. Mr McPherson has been in our midst for seven years and nine months. The scholars have made marvellous progress under his tuition. He was a man that -was higbly respect- ed by nearly every ratepa.y.er, as was shown by the large gathering at his home. At 7 o'clock the people.began to gathee, bringing well billed baskets and oysters. After every person had satisfied the inner map a long pro- gram. consisting of songs, recitations, speeches and dialogues was proceeded with, P Gardiner, of Ne in chelsea, occu- pying the chair to the satisfaction of all. The speeches from Messrs -Kyle and Delbridge, the songs by lelesers Pym, Coultis end Andrew, and the dialogue by M Batten and ltliss Minnie Clements, receive s pecial notice. About the middle of the program Messrs Pym, Andrew arid McPherson were called to tbe floor. Mr Pym proceeded to read an address to Mr McPherson while Mr Andrew presented him with a gold watcb and chain. Mr McPher- son although taken by surprise, re- • plie'd in a few well chosen words, ex preesing bis feelings of gratitude for the reception that be and Mrs Mc- Pherson had. always received at the hands of the section. The death of T 0 Kemp tools place in Seeforth, on April 5th. It. was not unexpected, as Mr Kemp had been ill for nearly two years, and for the past six months had been confined to bed for inost of the time. His disease baf- • fled the best medical skill, and for some time it had been known to him- self and his more immediate friends that his case was hopeless.

Surely lie has not forgotten the belbery and corruption which was un- earthed in South Huron, would like to read .eomething to the honorable gemleniet opposite. I have here be- fore me clippings from papers, who bave supported honorable gentlemen opposite the liest . years. Cana- disher Kolonist refetruig to Waterloo and Elgin says, "A band appears to have been tlaoroughly organized who have travelled from one constituency to utiother to pracflee bribery and cor- ruption. That this garg did not spend their own money is beyond question and the queeeibu arises, where did the money come from ? Aud from all ap- pearances it was futnished by a cor- ruption fund of the Reform party, and that euen who stand higher tn'the sti- maim of their party must know where the money canie from. It is no excuse to say tbat the Ooneetwatives have -been bad, as per an editorial which appeared in last week's Globe. ' The Reformers were not elected to im- itate the Censervatives. If the lead- ers of the Reform party are free of this scandal, 1( 18 their duty to prose- cute the gave of boodlers, and set a good example and rid the party 'of such men. A responsible Government cannot stand in any country Which is elected and bold offiee through cor- ruption." Yet,e1r. Speaker, we find Men arise in their place in this House and say bribery and corruption is not practiced IA Fleshy Consum tive Did you ever see one ? Diclyou ever hear of one? Most certainly not. Con- sumption is a disease that invariably causes loss of flesh. • If you are light in weight, even if your cough is only a slight one, you should certainly take •8601198 of cod liver oil czolib hypo- • posphites. No remedy is such a perfect prevent-, ive to consumption. Just the moment your throat begins to weaken ,.and you find you are losing flesh, you should begin to take it. And no other' remedy has cured so many case,s of consumption.: ,Unless you are far advanced with this disease, Scott's Emul-; r' will hold every 'in- duCement to you for a perfect cure. sc• AnDruggiits. oc. end so 1" orr & Bo st.

Further, itIn Speaker, whor we rise and say to the people of this Province, here we Inwe a Government wifich has taken 59,000 and given a monopoly to three items to print the school books for us; if, when we gee up on the pub- lic platform of this country and tell the fertners that this Government bus not been true to ite pledges in tegard to binder twine, aud tell them that this Government bas not protected the farmers against the monopolies of the country, and that the high, price of twine last year was not caused by tbe advance in raw material, but was on account of combine tunongst those who beld the (mine and that we be- lieve it is wrong that thiS Government should handle in bulk all the twine manufactured at the Central Prison to a firm in Toronto or London, but, that it should be sold direct to the farmers and not pess through Ave or six hauds to have a profit out of tbe farmers (the producers of this country), If, Mr, Speaker, that is decrying the country, why, I will, in the interest of the farm- ers, keep on doing so.

If, Mr, Speaker, we take Bulletin 71, issued by the Bureau of Industries of the Province of Ontario and by this Government, in our hand, whicle shows that farm property is not worth to -day what it was years ago.
