that, as a neighbor, you should tide

be somethiug: anti both agreed it was
most extraordinary.

Maud stopped him with a little

Bleeding Piles
In Nov., toot, Mr. Sherwood Walker, a
.fireman on_ the Canada Atlantic Railway,
living at Madawaska, Ont., wrote:—" I
.am a great sufferer from bleeding piles.
Sometimes the protruding piles come
down, causing much misery and Uneasi-
ness, and at other times I era subject to
bleeding piles, and they bleed to such an
extent as to make me quite weak. If Dr.
Chase's Ointment will cure this awful ait-
meat you will have my everlasting grati-
tude."
On March r, root, hewrote:-."Accord-
fag to my promise, I now take pleasure in
writing to you. If you remember, you
sent me about of Dr. Chase's Ointment for
bleeding piles some three months ago. I
used it faithfully, and can say that it
proved a Godsend, for it has entirely cured
me of bleeding piles.
"I would have written sooner but I
wanted tab° able to tell you that it was a
ppe�rmanent cure. This you can use for the
benefit of other suffering people. There
are several people here who have been
cured of very severe cases of protruding

like the spicier when its web was dis-
turbed by the housemaid's broom,'
think that if anything disturbs their
general stagnation, the entire universe

"li'luit a grand speech!" said Maud,

Half -annoyed, half -laughing, Cyril

Weld waved hint off, inhpounttively &-

of hopes, clambered about the ruins,

the honored guest at a compliment-
ary banquet tendered him at the
queen's hotel by the Liberals Of No-

ttibc to to a public luau. Since the

Finn, I•teltfev: Very, parry that I
cannot attend banquet which our Nova
Scotia friends are rendering to my
trusters colleen -no anti friend, Fielding,
I. however, join you heart and soul,
to do him honor. and the fullest honor
Is not more than he deserves.
The keynote of the speeches was
sounded by Premier 'Murray, who, in
proposing the toast to Mr. Fielding
at 11 o'clock, stci•l:--"Tt is perhaps
one of the erentest tributes to a pt1-
iiticnl leader that through a long
period of public life he has l'ecn en-
abled to contitn'e to enjoy the confi-
dence of his first end oiciest friends.
In ,this respect T think our guest pre-
sents an example nrequn]led in the
political history of Canada."
1top. tw. s. Fielding.
Mr, Fielding received a great ova,
tion on rising to respond. After
dealing with his early political ca-
reer and local political affairs, he
launched into a discussion of Domin-
ion, affairs. "Well, can I not say for
at least six years the liberal party
at, Ottawa has given this country a
reeled of good government, a period
of peace, a period of progress, as perms
iod of unexampled prosperity? We
are able to point out to you in ev-
ery department of the Government
the administration of affairs by the
Liberal party has been molting for
tine development and building up of
this country. In the first place, we
arc able to point to six years of
prosperous and sound finance. That
is an important platter. at is as
important to the nation as it is to
the individual that the business
transactions shall be placed upon a
sound financial basis. Our friends on
the other side recognize that, and
they predicted again and again that
the entrance of the Liberal party in-
to power would he a period of defic-
its and disaster. What followed? Let
us make a comparison. Take the
six years of Conservative Govern-
ment before we carte into power, and
take the six years before us. And if
you t upthe
sum two1
periods of six
years you find that while in their six
years they ended the period with a
net deficit of 52M00,000, we ended
our series of six years with a net
surplus of 57,000,000,"
Mr. Fielding then pointed out the
great rrowth of Canada's trade since
tiro liberals came into power. We
have only been in power six years,
one-third of the eighteen, and while
the Conservatives increased the trade
of the country. S(30,000,000 in eigh-
teen years, we should have increased
it X23,000,000 in one-third of the
time. We ran say you did not lose
anything, if we have the same rate
of Increase. That would he an an-
: steer to our friends. But what, is the
fact? We do not come before you
and point to an inereaise of S.2.:1,000,-
000
,000,-
000 in the trade of the country in
a six years. Instead of $22,000,000,
the prorcr proportion` --instead of
{ fiild,000,000, their figures in eighteen
years --ave point to the fact that in
I six years the total trade of Canada
bus leen iucrcarrt'd br 41,10,000,000,
