P )I.iTS (CO:f'TINr,:cn intuit Lt:3r \Y$EK.) But thele teen; tutu thtsr promise we made. We promised utir fanners free binder twice, and I remember well, in days guns bv, how the charge thru'it in our faces teat we were not sineere, that we were simply moving eest,lutiuus and milk- ing speeches le order to compromise the position Of the teuvernllient 01.. the trade question, and that if we carne into power we %luuld Hover eryatallizo these pro al a into law, Well, fertutl:ctely, we came into office. Fortunately tor the country we are here, and fortunately for the fanners we carried vett the promises which we then gave, and have placed binder twine on the: free het. How much did the farmers realize from that? It is estirnated that the farm - ere of Ontario used, in the last har- vest, 6,000,000 pounds of binder twine, and by talciati oft the duty, you will find that we have affected a saving of nearly $10,000 to the farmer3 of Ontario aloies. And in the North-west Territories there i3 a large quautity used, though I have uot the means of ascertaining what the number of pounds is. Rut, un- doubtedly, very targe sums of money will be saved tv the fanners of the North-west and Manitooa as well as other parts of this country through this policy. fiat this did not end the promises of the Liberal party. The Liberal party prow iced to place corn on the free list. Tale, afternoon an bon. gentleman (lir. Wallace) took fifteen minute: to proyo thet we are all wrong upon the corn question, True, there ire differenees of opinion upon it even among farmers thctn; selves in different localities as to the tvisdurn of ptacirag euro upon the free list. Bat you will understalid that when the Government is culled upon to fram:a a policy, they do uot frame a police for one eeetion of the coun- try, but they forlu a pulley wnieu they.believe is, on the whore, in the interests of the whole Dominion. I '01f/et that free e.n'tt is in the inter- 4etle of the wI Ile-Duminiun. Why is free corn adyt(ltrtl;eou, to the fann- er? Because the fanulers of Ontario partieularly, and of other 4parts of the country also, gtrlargely into the raising of ccttte and intu dairying and in order that they may feed their cattle. and fit them f.,r the foreign market. in which they have to compete witl2 curtl,fell cattle, it is admitted.,by theAdVetatatittiorities in this courttra that cern is an absolute es xlecessitw:' It is asserted that free -coi'21 will reduce • tile price of the coarse grain produced on the farm. It cannot do so because the prices are fixed upon the export prices of these articles. We send a large quantity of pease to the old country and the x price in the English market rept- `'• fates the price here. We sell a great atequantity of vats in Great Britain, and it is the price obtained there that rules the market in Canada. Therefore, if the fanners find it more profitable to use earn for the feeding of their animals they Will sell their pease and oats and outer coarse grains and buy corn. The adsan r, - age is very easily proven. I was told to -day that corn could be put. chased in Windsor et 18 cents. and oats at from 16 to 18 cents per buelf- Supposing a fanner in Use neighbor- hood of Witt/law wished to feed his cattle, would it not pay him to sell 34 pounds of oats frorrl IP, to 18 cent:; and hu,y .riFl petit de of curn at 18 cents ?

TXU MIS• t EnAnLE—COULD NOT USE BIER RANDS AND FOUND IT DIF- FICULT TO WALK -- HEALTH RESTORED reasonably well the promises it made, its action thus far being an evidence of what is to be done in the near future, We also promised that luxuries should be taxed higher than they were before, From the public plat- form We proved to the people that many luxuries were imported into 1 this country which bore a lower duty than many of the necessaries of lite, and we cons.ended that taxation should fall more heavily upon those list—no such promise was ever made parties who were willing and ready and I challenge any hon. gentleman opposite to quote one sentence or one paragraph from any Liberal who was speaking on behalf of the Liber- al party, in any section (,f the coun- try, from Vancouver to Great Breton, ho said that the Liberal party would put iroD on the free list. We said we would give the manufactur- ers freer iron, and so we did. We told the consumers of this country that we would give them freer goods, and so we did. We did not promise them free trade, it was beyoud the limits ot our power to give them that; but we gave them all that we be- lieved would be in the interests of these industries, and at the same time enable us to raise sufficient revenue to conduct the affairs of this country. Now, 1 want to show you bow much we have paid for the higher duties on iron for the last five years. We paid no less than $413,- 858 in bounty fbr the protection of pig iron from 1891-02 to 1895.96. We paid no less than $993,405 duty on the 268,352 tons imported from foreign countries. Now, ?dr. Speaker, you know that when a duty is plac- ed upon any particular article, it gives an opportunity to the rtlanuf"ae- ture2' in this country of the rime article to increase the price to the consumer by reason of the duty. I do not suppose that the manufacturer in this country puts the whole duty on. Therefore, taking $3 instead of $4 as the increased price on the Canadian iron, it amounts to $667,- 016 which the manufaeturers in Canada were able to place upon iron by reason of the $4 charged as duty against imported iron. Then. Mr. Speaker, you know that the duty on iron or any other material becomes a part of the original cost to the im- porter, arid he places the profit, whatever that profit may be, upon the duty as well as upon the origini.I cost of tile article. Therefore, the consumer not only pays the duty, but he pays the percentage placed upon that duty by t):e importer or .Con. L:b. dealer, and that has been $248,351 N. P. N. P. during the last five years. There- fore we have paid in the form of bounty duty, and the profits on duty by importers, no less than $2,32?, - 676: and that was for the protection of the manufacturer of 222,352 tons. The cost to the country was $10.16 for every ton of pig iron rnanufae. tured in this country. Now, I ask if that was not an extraordinary deity. I say the Government deserve credit, great credit, right in the very teeth of powerful organizations, for putting iron freer in the bands of the manufacturers and others who use it to so large an extent in many ways. N.w there is another thing that 1 want to bring before you. What saving do we snake on that calcttlal- lation under the Liberal tariff? Tak- ing the samenulber of tons as We, imported in 1890, and making exact- ly the same calculation, we find that We have saved to the people of this (CONrreuten O* PAGE 7.), and able to bay the luxuries they wanted. And what has been the result? On silk velvets and all manufactures of silk, embroidery, laces, jewellery, gold and silver plated ware, liquors, tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, etc., the duty has been increased by this new Liberal tariff, thus vindicating the promises made by the Liberals to the people. We promised, further, when we were in Opposition—and I remeniber some resolutions we put upon the records of the Blouse on the subject— that barbed-wire should be given to the farmers of this country at a much reduced rate of duty or placed on the free list. The Liberal party has fulfilled that promise by placing barbed-wire on the free list and bas given to to the farmers of this coun- try some great advantage, an(1 par- ticularly given an advantage to. the farmers who went to the west, that greater Canada, to work out their destiny. The Government has come to their assistance in this way, and this change will leave in the pockets of the farmers thousands and tens of thousands of dollars instead of pay- ing to the manufacturer. I wish now to draw a comparison between the dutiesunder the Nation- al Policy, socalled, of the Conserva- tive party and the Liberal National Policy, the policy now in vogue and which will continue in vogue, pro- bably, for the next fifty years. I want to show the duties under the old policy compared with those that wilt be charged under the new poliey a year from 1st July next. The present duty will be between the two figures 1 shall read. In this respect I thi>rtk a large benefit, a most extraordinary benefit will come to the consumers in this country.

One of the effects of this breaking up of the nerves, particularly among young people, being chorea or St. Vitus dance. A correspondent tells of a young lady at Selby who was badly afflicted with thio trouble, He says : —"I never saw anyone suffering so badly before from nervous disorder. She was violently jerking and twitch- ing all the time, and could not use her right hand at all. Anything she would try to pick up with it would instantly fall. When she would attempt to walk, her limbs would twist and turn, the ankle often doubling down and throwing her.' Lately I heard that she had been cured but doubted the truth of the statement and went oat to see her. The statement proved quite true, and believing that a recital of the facts of the case would be of advan- tage to some one who might be similarly suffering, I asked permis- sion to make them known, which was readily granted The young lady is Miss H. M. Gonyou, a general fevority among her acquaintances, and it is thought that her trouble as is not infrequently the ease, was brought on by hard study in school•" Miss Gonyou gave the following statement :—"All through the fall of 1894 I had been feeling unwell. I did not speak to anyone about it for I was going to school and was afraid if I said anything about it to n' y parents they would keep me at home. I kept getting worse, and at last grew so nervous that 1 could not hold my pencil. My right side was affected most, through the trouble seemed to go through my whole system. In January, I was so bad that I hact to discontinue going to school, arm I was constantly growing worse. I could not use lay hands, because I would let everything di op and frequently when I attempted to walk, I would fall., My brother' had been ailing for a long time and was then using Dr. IViliiams' Pink Pills and getting better, so I thought as they were helping him so much they would be a good medicine for me. Before the first box was done I was feeling much better, and after nsirl; the fink Pills for about a month, my health was fully restored. It is now more than a year since I discontinued the use of the pills, and I ha+e not had the slightest trace of the malady since. I an.. satisfied Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved me from a life of misery, and I would strongly recommend them for nervous troubles. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills create new blood, build up the nerves, and thus drive disease from the system. Ir. hundreds of eases they have cured I after all: other tnedieines had failed, thus establishing the claim that they are a marvel among the triuniplls of modern medical science. The genuine Pink P1113 are sold only in boxes, bearing the full trade ]nark, 'Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People."
