THE TARIFF.
The Liberal Government revised, re-
ined and rel. aced the tariff.
In 1896 the average fatty paid on all
s imported was $IS 2K per .*100,
hems last year only $15 8S was paid.
If the average duties imposed during
the Conservative admit:istratiou of 18
years had been imposed tiering. the last
seven years, over 3J :uillion d•+11ars more
money would have been collided from
the people.
Manufactures were assisted by ma-
terial redactious in duties uu item uud
steel and other raw materials.
The farmer got Free Biuder Twine.
Indian Ooru, Barbed and other Feueiug
Wire, Oream Separators, etc., sub-
stantial rednctious iu his favor were
alio wade pa wally agricultural iwple-
luents, ou Hardware, Wodliend, Cottons,
Liueui, G,assware, Hats,Caps, Fers and
on malty other staple commodities. •
A substantial preference was granted
to Great Britain. Direct result. British
imports, whit' en -welly tleeliuud great-
ly, have doubled -and our exports have
also largely increased.
Canada led the way in Imperial Pre-
ferential Trace -South Africa has fol
lowed snit. New Zealaud has prom•
ised to do so; Australia may act like-
wise -and it is possible that Great
Britain may also revise her trade faith
and adopt,t•his principle.
Mark ihPhtlle4f ever we get a prefer-
ence in res arltish Market tor onr food
products, it will be the direct fruit and
and rtelnit of the Canada Liberal Govern-
tneut's preferential tariff.
Chamberlain has put onr perfereuee,
wiih our offer to iucrease its value, be•
fore the British people, and asked chem
to reciprocate.
A surtax was placed ou German pro-
ducts iu retaliatiou for Germany dis-
criminating against us ' because we
favored our Mother Land.
The Preferential Tariff has been of-
fered to South Africa in exchange for
their preference.
UP TO 1900.
The record of the Laurier Govern-
ment before the farmers of Canada, as
shown by the administration of the De-
partment of Agriculture, was completely
endorsed in the elections of 1900.
The main items of that administration
then before the public were:
The establishment of a complete chain
of cold storage transportation from the
farm in Canada to the consumer in
Great Britain.
The removal of the cattle quarantine
restrictions between the United States
and Canada.
The enactment of the San Jose Scale
Act, for the protection of onr orchards
aga,nst that insidions pest.
The inauguration of the distribution
of agricultural information to the farm-
ers.
The appointment of a practical agricul-
turist to manage the tillage and live
stock at the Central experimental Farm.
The appointment of a Live Stock
Comtni.,siuuer to deal with the varied
interests of live stock production and
mauagem eut in Canada.
The system of cold storage transporta-
tion provided refrigerator chambers at
the creameries; refrigerator car service
to carry perishable precincts to the sea-
board; the establishmeut of cold storage
warehouses at the chief points of export;
the provision ou the ocean-going vessels
What a Joy To Be
Free of Headache
And to feel new strength and
vigor thrillingthrough the
system -Dr. hase's Eatery
Food, the great restorative.
In the great majority of cases headache arises
from an exhausted condition of the nervous
system and is associated with indigestion, irrita-
bility and sleeplessness. Lasting cure is effected
by revitalizing the nervous system by the Use of
Dr. Chase's Nerve hood.

By reason Of these improvements, Oau-
adieu,hatter and other perishable pro-
ducts could he laid down in the British
market in good condition: the result
was au ,immediate advau':e iu the Pei'
tion of these Oattedian product,• in the
English market, where before Danish,
Australian and New Zealand butter
stood ooneiderably higher than Oautediau
butter; Canadian batter advanced to the
second place, miming the Danish pretty
hard in the race.
Tender fruits were shipped and suc-
cessfully sold ou the English market,
which the Cauadiau producers ueverhitd
been able before to do.
The Canadian farther, by this work
of the Laurier Goveruweut, was giveu
the same advantages as his competitors
iu other lauds. Betore 1896 Australia,
New Zettlaud and the United States had
first class cultt sturage f,,cilities for hand-
ling their perishable products in Eng-
land, The Tory Government had failed
to provide these for the Canadian 'farmer
and it was left to the present Liberal
Guvernrueut to ivaugnrate this service.

auoque, and the physicians there told mo
I had heart disease. From that time and
up to four years ago I ofteu had severe
spells of the trouble. The toast exertiou
would bring ou violent palpitatiuu, and
at other times I 'would_ become dizzy,
nervous and my heart would almost
cease to beat. I became reduced in flush
and lusoinuia followed. I was hopeless
of finding a eine tor I had beeu treated
by au experienced doctor, and had taken
mauy advertised remedies without get-
tiue auy benefit. One day a neighbor
strongly advised me to try Dr. Williams'
Ptulr Pills and aottug on his advice
I `ot a half dozen boxes. I soon
found much relief through the use of the
pills. and after coutiuuing the treatment
for a couple of mouths I was enjaying
perfect health. I have not duce had any
return of the trouble and I teal safe iu
saying that the cure is a perraanent one,
and I can strongly advise the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills to all who suffer
from similar trouble." The reporter cau
only add that Mr. Emery is well known
iu St. Catharitn s, is a prominent worker
in Methodist circles, and has the highest
respect of all who know him.

The leading feature of the campaign
now being conducted by the Tory lead-
ers is its utter insincerity. There is not
one great public measure to whose ad-
vocacy either Mr. Borden or his cam-
paigners are sincerely devoted. There
is not one great reform they are frankly
pledged to introduce.' There is not one
essential principle for which unitedly
they stand. For nearly a month the
issues of the campaign have been before
the country, and up to this moment nei-
ther Mr. Borden nor any of his spokes-
men has risen higher than petty and
equivocal trifling with important inter-

A CARDBOARD WOMAN
THE MALIGN INFLUENCE OF A MUM-
MY CASE FROM EGYPT.
Queer 1egweuee et Fatalities wail
Bard Lek Experiences What Ap-
peared to Ile Unhappy Legaciea t•
Those Interested Iu It. Custody.
In a corner of the first Egyptian
room at the British museum, behind ,
the crouching body of the prehlStorie
chief who lived before there wets
pharaohs in Egypt of pyrene tis on ths
Nile, stands a woman molded from
some ancient form of cardboard. She Is
merely a shell, ,the cover of a mummy
case. Her hands are crossed above
her breast, and her dark eyes stare
forward into vacancy,
Accordlnr to the catalogues she is
No. 22542, a problematical royal per-
sonage and a priestess of the College
of Amen ltd. She lived in the mighty
city of Thebes some 1,600 years before
Christ.
And about this same coffin cover
there hangs as terrible a story, as ever
an Edgar Allan Poe or a Balzac or a
Kipling produced from a gloomy imag-
ination.
If you question the attendants in the
first Egyptian room they will shake
their heads and say nothing. But
there Is a famous professor In the
museum who knows that the facts are
true, though whether they be e. coinci-
dence or a manifestation of supernat-
ural power who can say? Ile says:
"For three months I have been gath
eying the tangled threads of evidence.
I have now in my possession proofs of
the identity of all those who suffered
from the anger of the priestess of
Amen Ra. But for the sake of friendts
and relatives I Clave been requested to
suppress the mutes.
"About the middle of the sixties of
the last century u party of five friends
took ship in a dah:tbeah for a trip up
the Nile. They traveled to Luxor on
their way to the second cataract, and
stayed there to explore the ruins or
the great and wonderful city of Thebes,
with its avenues of sphinxes and rams,
its vast hall of columns and its temple
to Amen An, which is unequaled on
earth in the sublimity of its ruined
magnificence.
"One night an Arab sent by Musta-
pha Aga came to one of their number,
Mr. D., as we may call him, saying
that he had just found a mummy case
of unusual beauty. What became of
the mummy the man did not explain
The next morning 111r. D. bought the
case. Both he and his companions
were impressed by its remarkable
beauty and by the curious face of the
woman portrayed, a face that was
filled with a cold malignancy of ex-
pression unpleasant to witness.
"They had agreed that, being' all
interested in Egyptology, they should
apportion their finds by lot, and so,
though Mr. D. had been the cause of
its discovery, he lost the mummy cover,
which passed to a friend, whom we
will call Mr. W.
"It was on their return journey that
the series of misfortunes commenced.
Mr. D: s servant was handing him a
gun, when without visible cause it ex-
ploded, the charge lodging in his arm,
which had to be amputated; a second
died in poverty within the year; a
third was shot, while Mr. W., the own- .
er of the mummy case, discovered on
his arrival in Cairo that he had lost a
large part of his fortune. He died soon
afterward. The priestess of Amen Ea
bad signified her displeasure in a very
convincing manner.
"Froin the date it was shipped on
board the steamer Mr. D. lost sight of
the mt5mmy case for several years.
He did not at ,the time in any way
associate the misfortunes that had oc-
curred to the party with its discovery,
but when he next beard of it and had
full information of the disasters which
had been subsequently associated with
its possession he began to suspect that
it was not merely chance, not merely
a coincidence, that had brought so sin-
ister a fate on all who had dealing¢
with the prlestess of Amen Ra.
"On the arrival of .the case in Eng-
land
nsland it was given by its owner, Mr. W.,
to a married sister living near London.
From the day the case entered the
house misfortune followed misfortune.
The family suffered large losses, and
the end came with painful troubles
which need not be specified.
"The lady .while in possession of the
case received one day a visit from
Mme. Biavatsky. The great theoso-
phist became very disturbed on enter-
ing the room, and after a few minutes'
conversation told her hostess that there
was something in her house possesed
of a most malignant influence. She
asked to be allowed to search the.bouse
and on discovering the coffin lid ap-
pealed to her hostess to send away an
object which she described as of the
utmost danger. Her hostess, however,
refused, laugbing at what she imagined
to be an example ot foolish supersti-
tion.
"Some time afterward the lady sent
the case to a well known photographer
in Baker street Within a week the
eb]er of the firm came down to this
lady's house in a state of great excite-
ment. Ile had, he said, photographed
the face with the greatest care, and he
could guarantee that no one had
touched either the negative or the pho-
tograph in any way, yet It was not
the cardboard features that looked ent
of the photograph, but a living Egyp-
tian woman staring straight before her
with an expression of singular malevo-
lence. Shortly after the photographer
died. suddenly and mysteriously,
"It was about this time that Mr. D.
happened to meet the owner of the Cof-
fin lid Ind begged her upon hearing her
,tory to get rid of it at onto. She
agreed, and a carrier *as found to eon -
*ay it to the British museum. Tide
Carrier died within a week."-Londow
