for railways. There can be, no000 return
to pre-war cost of living until the
extravagance and inefficiency of the
present. Government give place to an
Administration that will ease the
burden of taxation by rigid economy
and a return to the sane policies that,
under the Laurier regime, lifted Can-
ada from despondency to a state of
prosperity that was reflected in all
•the. avenues of national activity. The
country has had ten years of Tory
government, years marked by, a sig-
nificant decline in prosperity and a
total disregard, for economy. No
Canadian begrudges the legitimate
expenditures of the war period, but
the• Tory Government then in power
added enormously to the national in-
debtedness by wasteful extravagance
that was in no sense legitimate and
winked at corruption that was an a
scale undreamt of in the palmiest
days of grafting.
It is easy for any Government with
unlimited credit to carry on war, but
it requires conrage and statesman-
ship- and a fine appreciation of what
is right and just, to safeguard na-
tional interests in days when public
men are apt to lose their sense of
proportion where expenditure is con-
cerned. The orgy of wasteful ex-
travagance has come to an end only
when the public exchequer is empty.
As' long as money was available the
Government gave no heed for the
morrow. Tax-free bonds for the
benefit of the• war
for ships
could forsesee would be a drug on
the }iiarket and millions to provide
Balkan'statea with credit from which
the Canadian exporter alone benefit
ted -but the day of reckoning has,
come, and the only- way out suggest-
ed by the friends of the Government
is to devolve upon the Liberals the
odium and responsibility of salvag-
ing the wreck. The desperate effort
of the Government supporters to
hang on to the wreck in the hope
of floating it with the aid of a high -
tariff helium has been abandoned as
hopeless and the only thought now
is to stab Democracy in the back by
a redistribution bill that will save
the Tory Party from overwhelming
disaster.
The tale of Tory rule in Canada is
one of gloomy montony. In 1896
the country had reached the lowest
rung of depression and despondency.
This feeling of apprehension and fore-
boding reached to every class in the
community. Thousands were flying
across the border to escape from the
disaster that threatened. In a few
months after Laurier had been in
office optimism gave place to despon-
dency, the wheels of industry were
speeded up and the royal wine of a
richer life was poured into the
atrophied veins of the nation. For
fifteen years this country made un-
precedented progress and Labor and
Capital worked hand in hand with -
.out serious differences. Then same
the tragedy of 1911 when the corrod-
ing poison of Tory chicanery once
more enfeebled the vitality of the
nation until, on the eve of the war,
the depression and despondency of
1896 were repeated. The war saved
Canada from bankruptcy and gave
the Tories a chance to retrieve their
lost prestige. Apart from the emo-
tional assets of the war the Govern-
ment had not one redeeming quality
to commend it to the confidence of

war finally, abated it was found that
the last state of Canada under Tory
rule was worse than the first.

ernmerit hears the tramp of the young
men who are preparing to carry out
the dead.
The war has not destroyed Liber-
alism. It has been chastened and
purified in the ordead of fire. The
seed that was sown in poor soil was
scorched by the flames of war, but
wherever the soil was deep there
men clung to their Liberal faith un-
der every trial. Every great war has
witnessed the conflict of ideals and
the revival, in days of peace and
normality, of the principles of Liber-
alism. Freedom is the anchorage
ground and the peace and happiness
of the people the haven where war -
tossed nations tied rest. Liberalism
operates on a broad guage. It is
concerned, not with doing for the peo-
ple what the people can do fbr them-
selves, but with the liberation of the
forces of human progress from re-
strictions and disabilities that ham-
per human pregress. Free from the
taint of class consciousness it lays"
down the guiding principles of pro-
gress and wages relentless war upon
the reactionary influence that would
set those principles at naught. For
this reason, if for no other, it is to
Liberalism that Canada must look
for salvation. Unless it is imbued
with the spi''i' of Liiberalisin no
group that seek, special class leg-
islation, howev..: right and just, can
apply to the whole field of national
politics the broo.1 principles of free-
dom and justice that will not only re-
dress the wrongs of every class, but
that will rester • the balance of power
to the nation a whole and eradi-
cate class consciousness. It is be-
cause we regard the Progressives as
sten who cherish Liberal principles
that we Ionic to hem to do their part

tional hope and the in-
spiration

There is nn analogy between the
after -war conditions in England and
in Canada. Mr, Meighen takes re-
fuge in the solacing thought that.
bad as conditions are here, they are
worse in other countries. But no
comparison can be drawn between
things ,that are fundamentally dif-
ferent. The war should have .left
Canada in a mach better state,
financially and otherwise, than the
countries of Europe that were en-
gulfed in the vortex of the strife.
Canada was not called upon to lend
money to any considerable extent.
Every appeal to the patriotism of
her citizens was met with good
measure, running over. Her terri-
tory was not invaded and the
psychology of war differed profound-
ly from that to be found in Europe.
Other reasons must be assigned for

HYDRO ELECTRIC FARM
SERVICE
The question of Hydro on the
farms is now before us, the .case for
the Commission being presented to
the farmers at a meeting held in
Varna on Thursday, August 26th,
hot as there were not many present
at that meeting and there were a few
rash statements made we thought it
might be advisable to put the ques-
tion before the people showing the
hydro costs, which we might term
primary east and the total cost of
hydro per annum.
Question 1. -If I install Hydro on
my premises what will it cost me per slated the choir and sang a solo er0

Quite a•number went from here to
attend the funeral of the late Gen-
eral Sir Sant Hughes at Lindsay and
say it was the most largely attended
funeral ever seen in Canada. As a
military commander and leading pol-
itician, publisher and member of a
number of societies, that is not to he
wondered at. Poor fellow, he was
great hi a way, perhaps his ` worst
fault being that he was very much
h
stuck on himself.
Another public man of an entirely
different type from Hughes has since
passed away here. This was Sir
Lionel Clarke. Mild, modest and re-
tiring, he is mourned by many friends
here. It is not yet known who will
take his place as Governor.

the city, preached a sermon wherein
he denounced many things which

and the finances have decreased. The
pastor of Calvary church, N. Y.,
came over a short time ago and an-
nounced two lectures in the church,
One on Friday evening was entitled,
"Modern Babylon," and on the follow-
ing evening his lecture was called,
"The Dance of Death." The latter
stirred up quite a commotion. Some

the dead.
The war has not destroyed Liber-
alism. It has been chastened and
purified in the ordead of fire. The
seed that was sown in poor soil was
scorched by the flames of war, but
wherever the soil was deep there
men clung to their Liberal faith un-
der every trial. Every great war has
witnessed the conflict of ideals and
the revival, in days of peace and
normality, of the principles of Liber-
alism. Freedom is the anchorage
ground and the peace and happiness
of the people the haven where war -
tossed nations tied rest. Liberalism
operates on a broad guage. It is
concerned, not with doing for the peo-
ple what the people can do fbr them-
selves, but with the liberation of the
forces of human progress from re-
strictions and disabilities that ham-
per human pregress. Free from the
taint of class consciousness it lays"
down the guiding principles of pro-
gress and wages relentless war upon
the reactionary influence that would
set those principles at naught. For
this reason, if for no other, it is to
Liberalism that Canada must look
for salvation. Unless it is imbued
with the spi''i' of Liiberalisin no
group that seek, special class leg-
islation, howev..: right and just, can
apply to the whole field of national
politics the broo.1 principles of free-
dom and justice that will not only re-
dress the wrongs of every class, but
that will rester • the balance of power
to the nation a whole and eradi-
cate class consciousness. It is be-
cause we regard the Progressives as
sten who cherish Liberal principles
that we Ionic to hem to do their part
in restoring Liberalism to its tradi-
tional hope and the in-

There is nn analogy between the
after -war conditions in England and
in Canada. Mr, Meighen takes re-
fuge in the solacing thought that.
bad as conditions are here, they are
worse in other countries. But no
comparison can be drawn between
things ,that are fundamentally dif-
ferent. The war should have .left
Canada in a mach better state,
financially and otherwise, than the
countries of Europe that were en-
gulfed in the vortex of the strife.
Canada was not called upon to lend
money to any considerable extent.
Every appeal to the patriotism of
her citizens was met with good
measure, running over. Her terri-
tory was not invaded and the
psychology of war differed profound-
ly from that to be found in Europe.
Other reasons must be assigned for

HYDRO ELECTRIC FARM
SERVICE
The question of Hydro on the
farms is now before us, the .case for
the Commission being presented to
the farmers at a meeting held in
Varna on Thursday, August 26th,
hot as there were not many present
at that meeting and there were a few
rash statements made we thought it
might be advisable to put the ques-
tion before the people showing the
hydro costs, which we might term
primary east and the total cost of
hydro per annum.
Question 1. -If I install Hydro on
my premises what will it cost me per slated the choir and sang a solo er0

Quite a•number went from here to
attend the funeral of the late Gen-
eral Sir Sant Hughes at Lindsay and
say it was the most largely attended
funeral ever seen in Canada. As a
military commander and leading pol-
itician, publisher and member of a
number of societies, that is not to he
wondered at. Poor fellow, he was
great hi a way, perhaps his ` worst
fault being that he was very much
h
stuck on himself.
Another public man of an entirely
different type from Hughes has since
passed away here. This was Sir
Lionel Clarke. Mild, modest and re-
tiring, he is mourned by many friends
here. It is not yet known who will
take his place as Governor.

the city, preached a sermon wherein
he denounced many things which

and the finances have decreased. The

came over a short time ago and an-

"The Dance of Death." The latter

make a long story short. the lost
