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

I will quit for this time. J. J. I. 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.

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 the deplorable decline in the general The Gov- ernment ofthe country. prosperityY le with ' d to grapple hasEarle rnment g Pp e the task of reconstruction and has followed the traditional Tory policy of unproductive expenditure.

This is La- bor Day and if I get this letter com- pleted 4n time I intend going to se, the parade which is billed to leave Queen's Park at ten a.m. 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. Some time last winter Rev. Mr. Shields of Jarvis Street. Baptist Church, one of the finest churches in the city, preached a sermon wherein he denounced many things which chut'eh members and professing Christians sometimes engage in, not- ably dancing. A number of his con- gregation were offended and told him to go. A still larger numlbgr told r then plain- ly hehints a him to stay and � P he gets until won't go lg that he ready. However, there is a cleavage 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 That good man Mayor Church dropped in with chocolates and other sweetmeats and tried to comfort the little ones by telling them they were not lost. They were not in Hamilton or Montreal; they were still in To- ronto and not lost one little bit. To make a long story short. the lost were all found and no accident of a serious nature came to any of them: Of the 230,000 in the grounds it is ,estimated that 150000 were children. Fre admission to the grounds as weft as the grand stand, brought them from all over the Province.

There must be no mistake made about the fourteen hours, this refers to single horsepower, so when the farmer installs a 5 H.

We will take the case of Mr. S. St. .Tohn, Cannington, and use the figures presented in the Farmers Sun. Mr. St. John used in one year's time 514 K. W. hours of power, 604 K. W. hours of lighting, which was divided as follows: Hours washing, 30; hours ironing, 180; chopping grain, 2400 bushels; pulping roots, 55 loads; pumping water, 175 hours; cutting corn, 20 horn's; sawing 12 cords 4 -foot wood.

This is La- bor Day and if I get this letter com- pleted 4n time I intend going to se, the parade which is billed to leave Queen's Park at ten a.m. 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. Some time last winter Rev. Mr. Shields of Jarvis Street. Baptist Church, one of the finest churches in the city, preached a sermon wherein he denounced many things which chut'eh members and professing Christians sometimes engage in, not- ably dancing. A number of his con- gregation were offended and told him to go. A still larger numlbgr told r then plain- ly hehints a him to stay and � P he gets until won't go lg that he ready. However, there is a cleavage 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 That good man Mayor Church dropped in with chocolates and other sweetmeats and tried to comfort the little ones by telling them they were not lost. They were not in Hamilton or Montreal; they were still in To- ronto and not lost one little bit. To make a long story short. the lost were all found and no accident of a serious nature came to any of them: Of the 230,000 in the grounds it is ,estimated that 150000 were children. Fre admission to the grounds as weft as the grand stand, brought them from all over the Province.
