Its fate s}totlld tool beth rr eogqugh and the Globe, that obi ive cartdnnt. may, kick back. Mr. Willitson says the Globe Asa commercial adventure, there- by initiating that its chief object is to bring cash into the coffers of the com- pany. It claims to befriend, and assist what it is pleased to call "The Party of 'Progress and Freedom." During the last eighteen years Can- ada has effected more public improve- ments than in all her previous history, yet the Commercial Globe, and its party of Progress and Purity have op- posed every act of advancement that has been made. How very pure they are, will be cor- rectly apprehended by reflecting upon a few facts. For malfeasance iu office and for bribery a limit Governor has been deposed. A whole Grit cabinet has been discharged. Eight Grit M. P's. have been disqualified, and inure than seventy of the clean -handed Grits have been unseated. If this is a virtue what is vice? So far as can be seen at present, the platform of the party of Purity and Progress is to regulate the tariff, what- ever that may mean ; can they do that? We import about 1,400 classes of goods. Of these 400 classes are free, the rest are subject to various grades of duties. This pray be likened to a commercial adventure, wherein the company have erected a thousand factories, scattered over a hundred thousand square utiles of territory, and wherein, for eighteen years the most skilful artisans have been employed till the whole rigging in all the build- ings is running smoothly and efficient- ly. Experienced eyes, ever watchful, have caused a pin to he loosened here, a belt tightened there, as the demand seemed to warrant. Thegovernors have been weighted and gauged with the greatest possible exactness, consistent with the complexities of the acting machinery. The result of this care and watch- fulness is, that the manufacturer tally nicely with the Company'scalculation, with a var ying margin of a little more, or less, according to the general fluc- tuations of trade. Such is the present conditions of our Tariff. By abating the duties, as appearances seemed to permit, the revenue has been diminished in the sum of more than thirty million dollars. Closer, and closer has the supply, been gauged to meet the demand, that, in an occas- ional instance, as last year, the supply was too small, and a deficit appeared on the balance folio. The Grits say they will regulate the Tariff, and lessen the burden of taxes now grinding down the poor farmers. How can they do that? Cartwright, when asked this question, replied, "give me the reins of Government and I will show you." Such is the whole policy of the Grits, "Give us the reins, and we will make every man rich." The gallant Knight has been tried, and found wanting. Laurier says he is not a business man; hence he is unfit for oflca. The Globe has often de- clared that Mr. Laurier had just made the "greatest speech ever heard in the Parliament of Canada." Does Laurier comprehend his own speeches ? ,This quern may look insipid. The idea, that Wilfrid could not understand his own speeches ? An English raven has been known to sing "The Drunken Sailor" without missing a word or note, did the bird know what it sang? It is not likely. Alexander Pope wrote the "Essay on Man," hot evidently did not understand his heautifnl poem till others explained it to him. So, like- wise, Laurier, whose vernacular tor_gue was not English, is very liable to say what he does not really mean; in other words, what he does not understand. Should this language be thought unkind, the ohjector will please tell, how otherwise to account for the many discrepances iris speeches betray? Tariff for revenue only, is now as completely established as is at all practical, how then can the Grits regu- late it? Such claquerisnonsense; empty bluster; rant; rodomontade. They are not capable of regulating the tariff. They know no more about the science Government than Sam. Jones knew about repairing watches. He said he took his watch apart and put it togeth- er again, but had wheels enough left to make another watch. If the Grits meddle at all with the tariff they will checkthe trade of the country. The only plank in the Grit policy, if indeed they have one, is to regulate the schools in Manitoba, but the elec- torate of the Dominion is not likely to forget the fiscal needs of the whole in their anxiety about the Prairie Pro- vince ; neither will the plea of direct- ing trade into what they are taught by one Smith, to call our "natural market" avail this time with voters. Pre- ferential trade with our Mother -lard, or Imperial Federation is now the energizing hope of Canadians. We have no use for Democracy as it is in the United States, though such is the obvious trend of Gritism. Whatever becomes of the Manitoba Schools, the duty of every voter is, first, last, midst, and always to sup- port and sustain the present fiscal status of Canada until we are brought into the safer and permanent policy of imperial Federation, which is as certain to be the bright destiny of Canada, as the sun is certain to continue to shine.

TThogennlno TONKA Sorokin Mixture Is de- lightfully cool and fragrant. Try a 10 cent package,.. There is rioting in life badder than to see a strong rhan'strlcken with para] lysis. Alive, yet dead to the duties and activities that belong to life, the paralytic, until a comparatively recent period, was doomed to pass the remain- der of his days in a hopeless and helpt less condition. But since the discovery of that wonderful medicine given to the world under the name of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, those stricken with this formerly incurable disease have now the means of -regaining health, strength and activity. Hundreds in varieus parts of the country who were helpless, bedridden invalids have been restored to health by this incompar- able medicine. Among those who have been thus fortunately restored to activity is Mr. Allen J. McDonald, a well-known resident of Nine Mile Creek, P. E. I. Mr. McDonald says:— "In the fall of 1893 I injured -any buck, and during the year succeeding suffer- ed. great pain, I had no less than four physicians attend me at different tunes, but without any benefit. Before the end of he year 1 was forced to give up all active work and was rapid- ly falling into a condition of utter helplessness. - On two occasions the doctors encased me in plaster of paris, hut it. did no good. My limbs kept getting weakear and weaker, with a twitching motion and 1 dragged my feet when I trird to walk. Finally I lost all power of locomotion and abso- lutely all power of feeling from the waist downwards, and I was as help- less as a piece of wood. In this half dead and half alive condition I laid in bed for eleven months not able to help myself in the least. Phvsiciallyy I did not suffer much, but mentally the agony of those long weary months cannot be described. I was at last told by the doctors that there was no hope for me, and that I was doomed to pass the remainder of my days a help- less, half lifeless piece of humanity. Providentially soon after this I read of a case similar to mine cured by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It gave rue new hope and my friends got me a supply of the pills. After the use of a few boxes I found that life was slowly returning to my limps. I continued using the pills gradually getting stronger and stronger, until now. after the use of thiry-two boxes I am able to walk about smartly acrd can do light work, and I feel that I am gaining new strength every day. Words cannot etpress the thankfulness I feel at again being able to go about actively after passing through that terrible ordeal, and 1 sincerely hope that my experi- ence may be the means of bringing back hope and health to some other sufferer. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills strike at the root of the disesse, driving it from the system and restoring the patient to health and strength. In cases of para- lysis, spinal troubles, locomotor ataxia, sciatica, rheumatism, erysipelas, scrof- ulous troubles, etc., these are superior toall other treatment. They are also a specific for the troubles which make the lives of so many women a burden, and speedly restore the rich glow of health to' sallow cheeks. 'Men broken clown by overwork, worry or excess, will. find in Pink Pills a certain cure. a "s4TIU TE 13 40 111474 4 Il`r- For some time past 'rumors have been circulated that tile municipal business at Alliston, Smith Slmooe, was being grossly mismanaged, and charges of bnodling were freely made. The matter carne to a head when a writ of $6$2 for interest on coupons was issued against the corporation. Treasurer Hart was examined, and he said it was an "anticipated payment." THE COMMISSIONER'S nurons, Then the Lieutenant -Governor -in - council was asked for art investigation. This was granted, and John Lang, of Toronto, was appointed commissioner. He has just concluded the first of the sittings after examining many past and present members of the council, tbe books of the corporation and of the bank of Hamilton. The investigations revealed irregu- larities in the manner of keeping the books. ADMITTED A SHORTAGE, OF $5,000. Ex -Treasurer James C. Hatt con- fessed to having appropriated over $5,000 of the corporation funds to his Own use. Those shortages extended over several years, and in order to con- ceal them Mr. Hart made entries show- ing town liabilities paid by him, pay- ments which were entirely fictitious. For instance the statement issued in Deceinber, 1894, showed disbursements to the amount of $2,000, not a dollar of which was paid. It also transpired that Mr. Hart col- lected $96 of taxes since his resigna tion, and still retains it. Mr. Hart is at the present time clerk of the cor- poration. Another incident was as follows : The auditors in 1894 reported that the bank of Hamilton had no by-law for an item of $1,500, part of the floating indebted- ness of the corporation. Inquiry from the Bank omcials.did not elicit a satis- factory answer. Speaking of tbe item before the council ex -Mayor Fisher, corporation solicitor, stated that he had seen a note for $1,500 signed by T. M. Armstrong as Mayor. This charge was disproved, the note never haviug existed. A Church Case London Free Press. A branch of the W. A. M. A. of a certain churoh started an autograph quilt. Shortly after,a number of ladies in this church, not be- ing connected with any other society in the church, and being desirous of raising some money to assist in paying a certain notedebt incurred for former rectors salary), bought the quilt from the W. A. M. A. and continued the work for sumo time, when the nota being lifted by the church -wardens, the work was dropped, there being no further need of continuing it. A few months later it was thought advisable to devote the mons to•some good purpose. A meeting was calledandthe members decided either to refund the money to subscribers or donate it to the W. A. M. A., from which it was bought. It was put to a vote, and carried unanimously, that monoy be donated to W. A. M, A., provided all subscribers wore willing, and untll they could be consulted, the money was to be placed in the hands of the W. A. M. A. the day she received it the rector and church -wardens interviewed her and insisted upon her handing over the monoy to them at once. She pleaded that it was not hers to give, but they threatened hor that if she did not give it up she would be made to do so, and there being no one present to consult but her aged mother, she yielded and gave thorn the money. 1. Was there action legal? 2. Can the W. A. M. A. hold their treasurer responsible for the amount placed in her hands 1 ANSWER:—It appears that the money in question was to be devoted to the payment of e certain note, which note was paid by the rector and church -wardens. 1f, therefore, the rector nd church -wardens received the money, it 'rtainly would appear to follow that the ney was properly applied in the manor it originally intended to bo and we aro fin- ned to reply in the affirmative to question I. - Tho subscribers as a whole are the only s to whom the treasurer would be responsi- for her failure to hold the monoy In trust as acted, but we think she should bo relieved esponsibility under the circumstances, and ould bo incumbent upon the rector and rch-wardens to justify their action in ropriating the monoy, . M. MCLEOD, Goderich. Dear sir ,— I 1'as sick for five years. I was treated tir six doctors. Anything I ate dis- trOsed me, I was reduced to a skele- ton. The pain in Toy stomach was in- tolerable. What I did eat came op as soon as it went down. Life became a burden to rne. I was told that I had cancer in the stomach and that it would take a long time to cure me. You can well judge when told this that 1 concluded I could not be cured. I began to swell so much and not get- ting relief I thought my case 'hopeless. I was advised not to eat for two weeks, this was unnecessary as I could not eat anyway. I was not in good shape to leave home in cold and stormy weather, but 1 had confidence in you— knowing so many cases that you cured in this neighborhood, among whore were some of my own friends. I got a friend to drive me to Goderich last November. - I could not rest till I was taken there 1 remained five days at the Union Hotel, where they treated me kindly and well, till I got the flan- nel harness you made for ►pe fitted on. I was taking your System Reno- vator, improved alt the time, and the first bottle of E. A. McLennan's Lina - went relieved me greatly. I was free from all pain and eating well the day I left Goderich. Iwas gaining daily. I continued till I took three bot- tles of the Renovator, and two of the Linament. I felt that I was cured and well long before 1 had finished this, but was anxious to gain strength and weight, which 1 have. I began to work almost as soon as I came home. I have been well and feel as well since then as ever 1 did in my life. My codfldence was not misplaced. I tender you my sincere thanks. Yours truly, NEIL ROBERTSON. For sale by J. H.
