_REDUCTION OF TAXATION.
It has always been one of the first
srlaciples of the advocates of the Na
atonal Policy to remove the taxation,
asainch as possible, from all articles
tact cannot be produced in Canada.
Attordingly, in 1892, the Liberal Con-
aeryative Government struck off entire -
the duties on tea, coffee and tin; and
fiTeel that period to the present time
*ere has thus been saved to the people
ea those articles alone the following
'amounts:
On Tea.-- -811,024,083

A glance at this table shows that
twenty years ago the United States
practically bought as much of our farm
4 products as did Great Britain, while
last year Great Britain bought over six
times as much as did the United States
( FMcheese, cattle, wheat, coarse
grains other than barley, dairy produce
and meats, Great Britain is uniquestion-
able the Canadian farmers' best Con-
sumer. In respect of all these articles ,
; the United States supplies a market of
competition, no of consumption These
articles make up the largest part of the
farmers expartable products, and of
them Great Britain toek last trear near- ,
ly thirty times as much as the United t
States. When crops fail in the neigh- ,
boring country, the Americans will buy
, our barley, peas. potatoes and hay, du-
ties or no duties; Alle when the fruits'
of the soil are bountiful with them they
' do not require our surplus farm stufis
a: any price.
With Great Britain the case stands
differently. There production always
falls short of cousumption, and a steady
market of immense properzion awaits
the Canadian farmer at all times. Even
for those articles specially aimed at by
American tariff our farmers are

Cartwright Indiscreetly lefalees an Avowal
That Shows the Anti -Canadian and Ante
British Party in its True Might -As to sir
Charles.
'When, nearly dee years ago, Sir John
Macdonald went over to his fathers, the
very Grits who had spent their days in
vine-ying him were constrained to ac-
knowledge that he more than any other
man, had done his best to cement the
provinces of Canada into a great nation.
It was Sir John's intention that Sir
Charles Tupper should be his successor.
In 1891 it was leepoe-eble for the great
Nova &oriels to wept the preenierehip.
He was doing noble work for Canada in
the oftice of High Conereissioner to Eng-
land,
The Lineal Successor.
Now Canada has for a First, Minister
the man whom Sir John intended for
the peer. He is the lineal successor ot
the greatest statesman that any British
colony has ever seen. The Eight Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State
for the Colonies; was among the first to
congratulate Sir Charles on his accession
to the premiership. None knew better
than Mr. Chamberlain that Sir Charles
on account of his intimate aepaintance
with fiscal and Imperial questions, was
the most eligible man for the post.
What Sir Charles Abandoned.
Slurs riamertted rind ungenerous have
been east at Sir Charles. He has been ,
aceueed by the tints of selfishness. In
what respect has he been „self-seeking?
The salary and. allowance for expenses of
the High Commissioner amount to four-
teen thousand dollars a year. The salary
of the Premier of Canada is eight thou-
sand dollars a year.
The truth is that Sir Charles aban-
doned six thousand dollars a year in or-
der that he might lead the Conservative
party to victory against the Literals,

Honors Mercier. Count of the Holy
Renuan Empire. and the most cerrupt

the favorite expression of Mr. Edward

friends Leerier and Cartwright? Every-
body has heard of the New York Situ,
the most rabidly Anti-British daily news-
paper in the wraith The other day the
Sun contained an eulogy of the Liberals,
and a denunciation of the Conservatives.
This is what it said: -
"'The Tory party is the party of Brit-
ish connection and the 'Old Flag.' Its
sentiments are always vociferously pro-
claimed. Hatred of Yankees is its boast
and its watchword. The Liberal party is
in its fundamental tendency continental,
And Inclined to American Connection.
But the Liberals, or rather the Liberal
politicians, are afraid to show their feel-
ings, and perhaps disguise them from
themselves. They even allow themselves
to he merally coerced into uniting their
quavering voices to the roaring demon-
strations of Tory loyalty. This is their
weakness, and it will prqbably in the
coming struggle tell against them once
more. The struggle, however, will be at
bottom one between the
Annexation arid the Anti -Annexation
idea. If the Liberals win the Government
of Canada will be friendly to the United
States. If Sir Charles Tupper and the
Tories win it will be noetile to us.
Canadians beware •of the friends of

the designs of the men "who are inclined
to American connection:" Show them at
the polls that this is a British Country
and that the party that looks to Britain
and not to Washington is the Canadian

London, May 18. -The correspondent
of the Daily Mail at .Tohannesburg says
that a despatch received there states that
the four leaders of the Reform Commit-
tee, Colonel Francis Rhodes, John Hays
Deuermond, Lionel Phillips and George
Farrar, who were sentenced to death,
and their sentences afterward commuted,
will he fined .25,000 ($125,000) each, and
will be sentenced to ten years' banish-
ment.
The Daily Telegraph has a despatch
from Pretoria which says that the Jo-
hannesberg Times has caused a great
sensation by publishing a fac-simile of
Dr. Jameson's plans for the seizure and.
bombardment of Pretoria, which, it Is
alleged, were found by the Boers upon
the field at Doornkoop after Dr. XfUneSOT1
had surrendered his forces to the Boers
there.
A despatch to- the Times from Cape
Town says that Mr. Cecil Rhodes tele-
graphed there that if he effects a junc-
tion with Captain Napier the rebellion
will be broken. He says that there are
six thousand natives :between the Shane
goal river, Bombesi, and ThabasInduna.

President Kruger is under constant
pressure to exercise his influence to
hasten the decision of the Executive
Council on the punishment to be meted
out to the prisoners whose sentences have
been commuted. His own sentiment on
' the subject is also being constantly
sought
The President consented to be inter-
viewed by a representative of the Asso-
ciated Press- and in reply TO questions
pet to him on these subjects, he said. that
no one was more desirous than himself
of seeing'n decision in regard to the sen-
tences of the reformers expedited. A ma-
jority of the prisoners had petitioned him

tional money fines for the terms of ban-
ishment and imprisonment which had
been pronounced upon them. The origi-
nal tine was talkie.), with one year's inn
prieonment and banishment for three
years. President Kreiger was most fav-
orably inclined, he said, to this proposal
to substitute fines for banishment and
imprisonment. The delay In the decision
of the question, the President continued,
was owing to the difficulty of discrimi-
nating between those who signed the pe-
tition and those refusing to do so. He
wanted all the prisoners to be out of

that the Executive Council would endorse

ANOTHER CYCLONE.
Terrible Destruction of Property in 'MAT, CRS
-Serious Loss of Life.
Seneca. Kans., May devastating
tornado passed through this city from
the southwest to northeast last evening.
Four were killed, and a number injured,
some of whom will not recover. There
were many miraculous escapes from in-
stant death. The streets are impassable,
blocked with debris of buildings and
Innen unee. The Grand Opera house is
cenialetely denaolislred. The roof and
weer side of the *50,0M Court house are
blown away, and caved in, and the roof
of the High school Is gone.The steeples
of the new Methodist, Universalist and
Catholic churches were scattered to the
fear winds_ Twenty-five residences are
razed to the ground_ The damage in this
city is more than e-,,200,000.
Concordia, Kans., May 18. -Another
cyclone visited North Central Kansas
yesterday afternoon, starting in the
' northern paser of Clay county, seven or
eight miles south of the little town of
Palmer, and passing in a northeasterly
direction through Riley county and into
Marshall and Nemaha counties. The lit-
tle hamlet of Bodaville, in Riley county,
was entirely swept away. Several are re-
ported killed there, and many injured,
but nothing can belearned definitely. At
Spring Valley some six miles south of
Barnes, the storm demolished a church
in which 150 people were worshipping.
-Many were injured. The pastor, Rev.
Mn Mason, was badly hurt. Surgical aid
was asked from Barnes and neighboring
towns. The storm formed about five
o'clock, almost in the track of one that
visited this section three weeks ago. The
cyclone was followed by a heavy hail and
reie storm, and greet damage was done
to crops.
VENEZUELA.
British bainaues Will he Paid.B at the Re-
public Will Not Prejudice the Boundary
Case.
Caracas, Venezuela, May 18. -The
Venezuelan Government has agreed to
P9 the .e.11,600 demanded by Great Brit-
ain' for the Leman incident (the arrest
and imprisonment of a British pollee 0111 -
our) on condition that it is considered
Amply as indemnity for personal dam-
ages, and not as affecting the boundary
dispute. The "Venezuelan Government,
however, has not consented to make a
public apology to Great Britain as a pre-
requisite to the resumption of diplomatic
relations, although it is undesrtood that
the United States, in ,carrying out its
friendly purpose as an adviser of Ven-
ezuela, counseled that this condition
should be complied with in accordance
with the terms of the British demand.
True Bills Against Lapoint.
Brockville, May 18. -The Spring As-
sizes opened here this afternoon before
Hon. Chief Justice Meredith. The civil
docket contains twelve cases. The La-,
point murder trial case is the only crim-
inal case of any importance to be tried.
A great deal of interest is manifested in
the murder trial. About 100 witnesses
will testify in the case, among whom are
several medical experts, who will speak
as to the prisoner's sanity. The defence
of course will he insanity. Mr. R. C.
Mute, Q.C., will prosecute, and the pris-
oner will he defended by Mr. Hutcheson.
The trial, it is expected, will last about
four days At 6 o'clock the Grand Jury
returned a true bill against Lapoine for
the murder of Moore; four true bills
were found against the prisoner for shoot-
ing with intent. The trialmay comnience
to -morrow. Merchants' Bank v. Cough-
lin, an action on a promissory not, was
not concluded when court rose.
Mr. Adam Johnson linied.
White Church, May 1.8.-A fatal acci-
dent occurred this afternoon on the tarin
of Sire John Johnson, Kinloss Township,
by which his son, Adam, a young man
about 30 years of 1ge, was instantly
killed. His horses ran away and the
wheels of the wagon passed over him.

CORN ! I !
We say corn, and when say corn, we don't mean corns on your feet or

the fact that we have the best stock of seed corn on the market. We sell cheap,
so this is the place for you to buy.

We don't mean screen sand, or screen gravel. We mean screen
doors and screen windows. We have the most complete stock in town,
We can fit any door or window. Don't fail to call and examine them.

We haven't a spray pump that can be used as a fire engine, but we
have them that can't be excelled in spraying trees. Now is the time
to get them -not when your fruit is all destroyed.

Scientific Men Say Diamond Dyes'.
Are the Best.
The best analytical chemists in the
world affirm without hesitation that
Diamond Dyes are the purest and best
dyestuffs for home dyeing. All the
colors are fast to light and washing,
and will color more goods, package for
package, that any other dye in the
world.
As there are many imitations of the
popular Diamond Dyes, ladies should
beware of dealers who attempt to re-
commend the worthless goods It
should be rememberici that the imita-
tion dyes are made up of poisonous and
dangerous adulterations, and the hands
are often ruined by their use. Dia
mond Dees are so easy to use that even
a child can work with them successful-
ly. See that you get the "Diamond,"
aude rinse all others.
