Dr. MoDonald's record on this question
is a good one aa he was a temperance

politics. If the Oonservative press would
give a report of what their party did for
Prohibition when in power it would
make interesting reading but it would
necessarily be very brief.

IN 1895 and 1890 ander Conservative
rule the total trade of Canada amouuted
to 9289,025,860 and for 1899 and 1900,
under Liberal reign, it has expanded to
9881,825,865 or a difference in favor of
the latter of 9142,600,495. Canada now
takes her plane among the nations and
the eyes of the world are upon us. With
a steady hand at the halm and a orew of
well trained man manning the ship of
State there is little danger of running
against the rooks that have more than
once chattered the hopes of past Govern-
ments. It is doubtful if a more capable
or experienced Cabinet ever eat in the
Connell Room of the Dominion Parlia•
ment than that of Sir Wilfrid Laurier
and many things point favorably to their
being entrusted with the management for
a further period.
Wes it a wise thing to settle the Mani•
tabs school question ? Ia the perferential
tariff an advantage to Canada ? Did the
Government aot wisely in extending the
Interoolonial railway to Montreal and
running it on a paying basis ? Is the re-
duotion of postage from 8 to 2 oeoto and
the establishment of an Imperial rate of
value to the ratepayers ? Hae trade im-
proved, prosperity returned and the ex.
odes ceased ? Are our manufacturere,
business men thriving and the farming
community prospering ? If these quer-
ies can be answered in the affirmative
then there should be a rallying to the polls
on Wednesday, Nov. 7th, and a hearty,
enthusiastic support a000rded the Liber-
al candidates. If the Government nen
make the record they did in the term
closing they bid fair to out -do it by long
odds in the ooming parliaments.

means that any snob whim of the Oppo•
sition will be gratified and we believe

DEAR Srn,—Your liquid medicine,
"Soak and Swab,” has oared me entirely
of the sore I had on my upper jaw. The
doctors told me that it was a cancer and
that the bone would have to be out out
and the affected parte removed by the
knife, It was this that frightened me
and made me gat the "Soak and Swab."
I used only three pint bottles. I am well
ever 8i0oe, and it is three years ei0oe I
need it. Having great oonfidenoe in your
medicine I will recommend it to those in
need. I am, eto.,
Mee. J. Homes.
The following was reoeived from the
same lady ten years ago :
I Buffered for nearly four years from
fits, and almost at the same hour daily,
out of which no one oonld waken me, un-
til I awoke of myself, weak and wearied
atter the lapse of from ten to twelve
honre time during which time I was
wholly unoonsoione. I was attended to
and oonselted no fewer than sixteen
doctors without any benefit and no re-
lief. I got to be absentminded, often an.
ooneoioue of my surroundings, took no
notice of anything, until, in the good
providence of God, a friend insisted on
bringing J. M. McLeod to our house.
He took me out of the fit in halt a min-
ute's time. I began to gain rapidly after
tbie in health and soundness of mind,
and to this day I have not had any more
fits. Yours, etc.,

Strictly One Price Always the Lowest
1133 Per Gent. Less than
Other Stores."
That is what the people say about our Mantle Prices, and
they're right. Do you want to buy a Jacket as cheap as yoti can,
or do you wish to give other merchants i• more than our prices ?
Most any person would feel badly over losing a dollar or two out of
their purse between here and other stores, but that is just what you
are going to do if you buy a Jacket elsewhere, and•there's no doubt
about it. Probably you wonder bow we know this. We know it
because we know the prices other merchants have to pay the Can-
adian wholesaler and Manufacturer, and the Agents for German
Manufacturers, and we know by buying direct from the Makers in
Berlin we can buy them 25 to 85 per cent. cheaper. We know all
this because we have seen the Canadian Makers' goods and prices,
the samples shown by Agents of German Makers, and the prices
asked by them, and after seeing these we have made special ar-
rangements with a large retail buyer of German Mantles, who,
when in Berlin, bought our Mantles for ue, and you will find them
just as much cheaper as we claim.
Are You Ready to put
Us to the Test ?
