IS a Complaint from which many auger
and few are entirely free. Its cause
in indigestion and a sluggish liver, the
cure for which is readily found in the
tgse of Ayer's Pills.
" I have found that for sick headache,
caused by a disordered condition of the
stomach, Ayer's Pills are the most re-
liable remedy. '—Samuel C. Bradburn,
Worthington, Mass.
"After the use of Ayer's Pills for
many years, in my practice and family,
I amjustifiedin saying that they are an
excellentlcathartic and liver medicine—
sustaining all the claims made for them."

& N. IV. Railway Co., Burnet, Texas.
"Ayer's Pills are the best medicine
known to me fur regulating the bowels,
and for all diseases caused by a dis-
ordered stomach and liver. I suffered
for over three years from headache, in.
digestion, and constipation. I had no
appetite and was weak and nervous
most of the time. By using three boxes
of Ayer's Pills, and at the same time
dieting myself, I was completely cured."
— Philip Lockwood, Topeka, Kansas.
"I was troubled for years with indi-
gestion, constipation, and headache. A
few boxes of Ayer's Pills, used in small
daily doses, restored me to health.
They are prompt and effective."—W. H.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
The lacrossist may cross and the
cricketer crick, and yet this Canada
of ours will be boss in spite of blue
ruin Dick. John Mc:11 may croak
his fillip' and the froglet may frog
his harsh notes, but those used to
land tillita' will neer consent to
duty off oats. The grumblers may
grumble and the bees they may
bumble, but honey was never so
sweet as the cheap sugar with fruit
we now eat. The lovers of whiskey
may whisk and the vendors may
vent, but temperance will triumph
though no less money may be spent,
Inn keepers will still have their
inning, when "two fingers" cost ten
cents, but the increase in price will
fully make up their rents.
Prohibition during the last ten
years has not proved a decided
success in Iowa. The recent census
shows that between 1880 and 1890,
in twenty-seven counties the popu-
lation had decreased from 500 to
5,000 in each, owing to pro-
hibition. At least that is the
way some of the Iowa people put
it. For these twenty•seven coun•
ties were the only ones in which
there was a semblance of enforce -
of the law. In all the counties
where there was no attempt to
enforce prohibition there was a fair
increase in population, owing, it is
asserted, to better social conditions
and loss municipal taxes. There
are about 4000 National licenses
issued even in prohibitiou Iowa, but
as the fees go to the National
Government the counties get no
benefit from them.
Man is fearfully and wonderfully
made, Great surprise is expressed
at the irregularities in the depart-
ments of Interior and Public Works
at Ottawa, among the employees.
While even irregularities are not to,
be glossed over,such a state of things
exists more or less iu all affairs
where confidence is placed in men.
Confidence will be abused. Men
will fall when tempted. But it is
quite right they should be removed
when they do fmlil. The govern-
ment appears determined to get rid
of all employees who 'rave failed in
doing their duty in the public ser-
vice. There appears to have been a
lack of supervision on the part of
the deputy heads of departments.
These deputies really run their de-
partments. The fallibity of human
nature should not stand in the way
of the public service being purified
of those whose moral conscience can
see no wrong in violating their oaths
of' office providing value is given
for money received from'the public
treasury. The money should come
through the proper channel without
any subterfuge. Of course there are
tempters. And it is not much won
wonder that the human race finds it
uphill work to be decent and keep
straight. .The first man was a liar

first child born in the world killed
his brother. Our first parents were
a tough lot, and it is hard to get it
out of the blood, But to opera the
rodis to spell the child all the same.
And to spare public employees who
have wiltui ' disregarded the pro-
prieties of their position would be
to debase the public service.
The Globe and its partisans -are
particularly displersed because Sir
John A Macdonald did not die a
pauper. Though not by any means
as wealthy as he would have been
had he devoted his incomparable
talents and untiring energy to the
accumulation of wealth instead of
to the welfare of the country, he was
not a pauper. His estate is said to be
worth nearly $100,000, a large part
of which arises from insurance effec-
ted on hie life. Seine of Sir
John's opponents are evil minded
enough to say that he never could
have saved anything out of his sal-
ary of $8,000 a year had he been
clean handed. But it must be re-
membered that Sir John during all
his long political life still held an
interest and was the senior partner
in one of the leading law firms of
the Dominion. The profits out
of this alone, during all those years,
would amount to vastly more than
his estate is said tn. be worth, with
out ,talking into account his allow-
ance as Premier and member of
Parliament. Why, look at such
low firms as those of Messrs Camer-
on & Cu and Darrow & Co, with only
local reputation and business,amass-
iug their thousands every year.
Aud looking at these is it unreason-
able to presume that Sir John's in
terest in a legal firm of national re-
putation and business did not hon
estly accumulate his thousands.
But the Globe and many of its ilk
write down every one outside of
their own party as dishonest unless
they play fast and loose with im-
pecuniosity. It is the same with
the manufacturers. If they could
only continue in businees while los-
ing money every year the Globe
would be satisfied. Unfortunately
patriotism and manufacturing cannot
live only'on even the pure ozone of
this bracing Canada of ours. And
others besides Tories require a modi-
cum of the staff of life and the
wherewith to purchase it in order
to prolong their mundane existence
and give those depending on them,
a start on the thorny road of life.
CURRENT TOPICS.
THE PROHIBITION COMMISSION.
At a meeting of Canadian dele-
gates to the National Division,
Sons of Temperance for the purpose
of considering matters in reference
to prohibition, Hon. G. W. Ross
WWI chosen chairman and W. H.
Price, of Moncton, secretary. On
the suggestion of the chairman it
was decided to ask the various tem,
perance organizations• throughout
the Dominion for their support in
urging upon the Goverment that the
that the' majority of the prohibition
commission be thorough temperance
men. The following resolution was
adopted :
Re.olved, that the representatives of
the several Grand Divisio,is in the British
Provinces present at the tension of the
National Division Sons of Temperance,
held in St. John to -day, do most respect-
fully ask the Frivy Council of Canada, in
appointing the commissioners to report
on the working of prohibitory legislation
under the recent resulution passed in the
Parliament of Canada, to select temper-
auce mon for at least oae•h.,.lf of the oem•
rnissioners.
TORONTO HONORED.
Last week Toronto was honored
by the meeting of the Triennial
Council of the Orange order through-
out time world ; as well as the Grand
Lodge of Masonry. Previous week
the' teachers of North America in
tens of thousands visited Toronto
and made Canada and Canadians
better known to the world. But
the Triennial Council meeting is very
important, inasmuch as it brings to-
gether from all corners of the globe
Orangemen who are recognized ad•
vanced supporters and advocates of
civil and religious liberty through-
out the world. . A high honor has
been conferred on Canada in the
election of Mr. N. Clarke Wallace,
11I. P., as President, and Mr. Robert
Birmingham of Toronto, asSecretary
for the world. A not less important
honor and incident was the election
of the Grand Master of the Orange
Association of the United States as
Vice -President.
HARVEST PROSPECTS.
The Times summarizes the harvest
prospects of the world as follows :
In Russia there is a grave deficiency.
The peasantry are starving and
there is small hope of relief. . In
India a serious anxiety' prevails over
a considerable portion of the coun.
try. Madras, Rajupatha and the
Paunjm b are the worst sufferers.
There is drought in Bengal and the
need of more rain is urgent.
Bombay alone promises a good
harvest. The American harvest
will be good in quality and amount,
but wit-h-the-faiture-'of -tire- Indian
and Russian supplies it is of the
utmost importance that the English
crop shall not be short. The pros.
pect, en the whole, is good. In the
thief wheat counties--Erseex., .Nor-
folk andSuffolk—the.crop is above
the average, and in other counties
up to the average. The harvest
will be late, and prices will be. high.
There is, therefore, a good outlook
for the English farmer to break tife
long series of disastrous years.
COMMENDABLE REFORM SENTIMENT.
Partyism in polities is gone mad
(says the Georgetown Herald, Re,
forum) in Canada. We believe
every man out to be a politician in
the highest sense of the word, but
we do not believe that he ought to
allow his party feelings to run so
high that he will rejoice in the fact
that political iniquity is discovered
and proven even anmouget the retake
of his political opponents. Just
now many of the reform papers are
expressing the keenest pleasure over
the downfall of Tlmomas McGreevy,
M. P., and the probable exposure of
Sir Hector Langevin. There is not
a single regret for the crime, not a
thought of time influence of such dis
honesty upon time public morals, not
a reference to the fact that every
citizen shares in the opprobrium
which attaches to the downfall of a
public man, but only joy at the
thought of the possible influence the
exposure way have in giving their
party the reins of power. We are
glad to say there are some noble ex,
ceptions both amongst politicians
and newspapers and we hope their
numbers will increase. Let us look
for and desire justice but let us feel
and express regret at immorality
and crime wherever it is found to
exist. '
WHAT HE MISSED.
A recent Ottawa dispatch contains
the following interesting reminis•
cermet, of Sir John Macdonald. The
story, we think, will be new to most
of our readers : Captain John Her-
bert Beatty of Toronto, who has
been here since the season opened,
was recalling memories of Sir John
Macdonald the other evening in the
Conservative caucus room : "We
were at the Albany Club," said the
captain, "when the news of the first
success of time British army in the
Soudan arrived." "Now that Wolse-
ly is a lucky man," said Sir John,
"I remember when he was out here
at the time of the first Red River
rebellion. It was when he was noth-
ing greater than a colonel that I
took Mrs. Wolseley down to dinner
at Lord Lisgar's one night. She
talked brightly of her clever young
husband, and wound up by asking
the if I would make him governor
of the Territories. 'I will,' said I,
and I fully intende:l to do it, but
while I was at work in my room iu
time east block a few days later, I
was seized with a sudden illness, as
everybody knows, and lay there
helpless for weeks. In the mean-
time Sir George Cartier assumed
control of affairs and appointed one
of his friends to the governorship.
Wolseley was passed over and be-
came General Wolseley and Sir Gar-
net Wolsely, and the greatest Eng-
lish general of time day : whereas, if
I had had my way, he might have
become governor of the Territories,
and in time even a Canadian Cabin-
et minister."
PERRAULT'S PANIC.
Mr. J. X. Perrault has a letter in
La Patrie with regard to the move-
ment in London to secure imperial
federation. He says : "Well, so
much the better. .It is time we
should know what to think about
the future of the nation. If it
is so sought to subject us to time rule
of Downing street let us know it.
If we are reckoned upon in the
European war which is now prepar-
ing, and in which England seems
disposed to take sides with the
worst enemies of .France, let us
know about it. There seems to he
no doubt that the imperial Governs
mint has come to an understanding
with the triple alliance to forge that
iron chain with which it is sought to
strangle France, and one of the links
of which we would be. What a fine
position we would he in ! We would
be obliged, as English colonists, to go
to war against the Mother Country,
against that France for which, fol-
lowing the example of our ancestors,
we would, if necessary, shed our
purest blood. Well, Messieurs les
Anglais, who depend upon time Cana-
dians for common flesh in the com-
ing struggle, you reckon without
your host, and we are not disposed
to enter into an imperial federation
which- would necessarily bring us
into time European complications
about to arise, the whole to your
advantage and to our detriment.
The immense crowd that will accom-
pany Mr. Mercier upon his arrival
on Thursday night will proclaim the
necessity of immediate independence.

France."

SALTY CO1:1EESPONDEN,CE.
theeditor To d or ofEmpire:
i.the .fit ptrr
Silt,—In the Parliamentary pro-
ceedings published in 77te Empire of
Saturday, 11 inst., Mr. Clark Wale
lace is reported to have said in reply
to Dr. Macdonald, of Eaat Huron,
that "it there was one combination
utterly indefensible, it was the salt
ring, which was so strongly defended
by the last speaker. The result of
the combination was that over $400,.
000 had been needlessly taken out of
the pockets of the people."
Permit me to characterize these
remarks of Mr. Clark Wallace as the
oatcotne of wilful ignorance, or a total
disregard of truth. Wilfully ignor-
ant because he has before to -day
been corrected in public print,
Who is more likely to know of the
requirements of the salt trade -Dr.
Macdonald, from the salt producing
districts, or Mr. Clark Wallace,
whose statements proclaim his utter
ignoraoze of the whole question ?
When any member stands on the
floor of the House to take part in a
discussion, the least the country ex-
pects of him is that he will acquaint
himself with the subject on which he
is going to speak and keep himself
within the limit of the -statement of
facts. Yours, etc ,

THE SALT COMBINE.
To time Editor of The Empire :
Sia,—In your issue of Wednesday
last the secretary of the Canadian
Salt Association (Clinton) refers to
my remarks in the house of Com-
mons on the infamous salt combina-
tion, and accuses me of being either
"wilfully ignorant" or as "having a
total disregard of truth." I shall not
attempt to defend myself from
either of these charges, but will con,
tent myself with calling public atten-
tion through the columns of your
paper to the acts of this combination
for the last two years.
Salt was the most highly protected
industry in this conntry, having had
a protection of 42 cents per barrel
and a duty of 25 per cent. on the
barrel in addition. This gave a pro-
tection of more than 100 per cent. on
the Canadian salt as against A merican
salt.
It is true that the duty does not
apply to salt imported from the
United Kingdom or any British pos-
sessions or any salt imported for the
use of the gulf sea fisheries.
But the heavy freight charges on
British salt practically gave the
Huron salt men an enormous protec-
tion in Ontario even over these free
imports and virtual control of the
business of that province.
How did they use that protection?
Till about two years ago salt was sold
in car lots free on board the cars at
the points of production for 55 cents
per barrel.
Then some person went around to
the salt manufacturers and bought
up their products for the next year
for 70 cents per barrel, or 15 cents
more than the price the salt had
been selling for, and having thus
secured a monopoly of the output
they at once raised the price to $1
and shortly to $1.10 per barrel.
'!'heir champion and apologist in
the House of Commons, Dr. Mac-
donald, M. P. for East Huron, gives
us some interesting news. Quoting
from his speech, page 2,182 Hansard,
he says : "The producers then said
'Let us come together and let us
reason.' '!'hey came together and
.reasoned thus. '!'hey said if the
farmers and the laborers and others
who use salt in this country are such
confounded fools as to support a
a National Policy, which is killing us,
he will combine and put up the price
and make these men pay."
Nice language, Mr. Editor, to use
to time people of Canada; a policy
which is "killing them" by giving
them 100 percent. protection.
Well, the other day the Govern-
ment reduced the duty on salt one-
half, and immediately the salt COM,
bination was compelled to reduce
the price at the wells 25 cents per
barrel,
It was just a question whether the
Government would not have been
justified in this instance in abolish-,
ing the duty altogether.
'there is no doubt that if the At-
torney -General for Ontario puts in
force the law now on the statute
books of Canada dealing with these
matters some of toe law -breakers
will speedily find themselves behind
the bars, where they will have time
to repent fo their wrongdoing at their
leisure.
And right here I would direct the
attention of the farmers' institutes
and others interested to the necessity
of calling upon the Attorney -General
to enforce the law against such illegal
combinations as this salt association
has formed, it being a case in which
the whole people are interested, and
experience showing that private
individuals do not care to undertake
the expense of fighting these unlaw-
ful combinations in the courts when
the duty rests on other shoulders.
Yours, etc.,
N. CLARKE WALLACE.
House of Commons, July 20.
MR. CLARKE WALLACE AND THE
SALT QUESTION.
from the people is pure bosh,
He POW sa}s be will not attempt
to defend himself I This supreme
indifference is well befitting to one
soo lately promoted from the bucolic
obscurity et Vadghan to the lofty
eminence of an Ottawa legislator.
Mr. Wallace now attempts to give
the public some useful information
regarding salt. He says that the
very high duty does not apply to salt
imported from any British. possession
or the United Kingdom or any salt
imported for the use of the gulf or
sea fisheries ; forgetting, in a moment
of weakness, to add that therefore
the tariff does not apply to at least
two-thirds of all the salt used in
Canada. Time heavy freight oharges
on British salt that "practically give
us enormous protection," your read•
ers may be surprised to learn, exist
only in Mr. Wallace's fertile imagin-
ation. Salt is frequently brought
out free to this country, occasionally
a bonus is paid in the place of loading
ballast, and once landed here west-
bound freights are always consider-
ably less than eastbound.
'!'here is a very erroneous impres-
sion abroad concerning the salt in-
dustry, and the salt manufacturers
have to thank Mr. Wallace and men
of his stamp for its existence. The
common argument is something of
this kind :--"Salt was sold for 55
cents; a combine was formed and
the price was raised to$1.10—iniqui-
ty of iniquities." Whereas the whole
troth consists of the additional in-
formation, that while salt was selling
at 55 cents maker after maker failed.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
sunk in the salt business were lost
irretrievably. Also the price $1.10
only represents a portion of the
trade. There are other kinds of salt
than fine salt in barrels which are
put on the market at much lower
value, and the average price of all
kinds is nothing approaching to $1.10
per '280 pounds. Speaking from
memory, for the documents are not
now before me, the average price of
all kinds of clean salt last month
was between 62 and 63 cents per 280
pounds. The saltmakers of Canada
have been most unjustly dealt with.
Two•thirds of the Canadian market
is handed over to English salt, and
the remaining third is begrudged
them and is rapidly being transferred
to the Americans. Of course, newly -
fledged politicians must seek after a
little easily -gained notoriety, and
the silly remarks of Mr, Wallace
about law -breakers finding them-
selves behind prison bars is a fitting
conclusion to his bombastic effusion.
An apologist for Mr. Wallace of
today suggests that by $400,000 Mr.
Wallace meant a very large sum of
money. Doubtless to some anything
over $50,000 is a very large sum of
money, and a cypher or two more or
less at the end is immaterial.
JOHN RANSFORD,
Secretary C.S.A.
Clinton, July 24.
To the Editor of 7'he Empire.

letter is, to say the least, characteris-
tic. I accused him of wilful ignor,

SWALLOWED BY A WHALE
Tacoma, Wash., July 25. The
barge Guy C. Goss, with a cargo of
$500,000 worth of tea, dropped
anchor here to -day, fourty-four days
from Yokohama, long overdue.
When fifteen days out "Tom" I-Iis•
kiaski, a Japanese sailor, mounted
to the topsail to reef it during a
gale. A lurch of the vessel threw
him headlong into the sea, and he
was seen suddenly to disappear.
The life -boat was put out, hut no
trace of the missing sailor was
found. When returning to the
vessel, a whale ruse to the surface.
The crew then suspected what had
become of Hiskiaski. The whale
seemed to be "in great distress.
Suddenly, after a violent convul-
sion, Hiskiaeki was thrown from the
whale's mouth onto the crest of a
wave and upon the clock of the
Goss. IIe was unconscious and
badly injured. Careful nursing
brought him around, and he is now
in his normal health. Captain
Mellett° vouches for the truth of
this story, and the sailor was point-
ed out.
NOT VERY SAINTLY.
The United States District Court,
Erie, Pa., has on trial the saintly
appearing Rev, Henry E. Suther-
land, an eccentric character from
Idazelton, who presides over the
M. E. Church in that place. The
clergyman is charged with sending
obscene circulars through the mails,
assailing that reputation of the Rev.
John Donahue, the presiding elder
of the district. Mr. Sutherland,
who is a man of wealth, built a
church, and organized a congrega-
tion to which he preaches on Sun-
days, and sella general merchandise
on week days. The presiding
elder found it necessary to publicly
denounce Sutherland's code of
morale. He then fell under a most
infamous siege of persecution from
the obscene circulars which have
dream'- tweed to - -Sutherland' . -by
government detectives, who used a
detective printer to secure Suther-
land's copy and a quantity of type
used in the printing of the circulars.
