Permit me to suggest that you ap- pear to have overlooked one matter of great importance. I will try to explain what I mean by reference to my own household. Our family consists of my husbandt myself. three children (between six and twelve years of age), «and my mother, 65 years of age. My moth- er is useful about the house, but she is too old and ferlble to work out: ‘for pay, so her support comes out ‘ of my husband’s wages. I read in that magazine of my sister’s that the average earnings of the laborers in all the manufacturing establishments of the United States, according to the last census, were less than $4.50 per year. My hus- band earned a little more th-an‘that. His wages were $1.50 per day. He fortunately was in excellent health, and worked every day except, Sun- days and holidaysâ€"306 daysâ€"and his income was $459. ‘ ““4““ on nrnc- anUulC ‘Vuu v- I had our eldest daughter] as prac- tice in arithmetic. as a matter of business training. and to see to it that we did not run in debt, keep an exact account of our expenditures 'T‘hnv mare as follows . They were as 10110“: . ‘ The sum total paid out for food 1 materials was $328. That was a fraction less than 90 cents per dayâ€"â€" 15 cents for each of six persons, or not quite five cents a meal. I econâ€" omized. in every way to reduce the expense below that figure, 'hut could not. A pint cup of bread and milk for one of the children costs more than that: Our family OCcupies a three-roomcd house in the outskirts of the city. Of course we are badly cramped for space. There must be a bed in each room. Fortunately we have not much other furniture. We are al- ways in a cluttered up condition, from the fact that we have no cellar. I do not see how we could get along: with any smaller house. For this we pay $7 a monthâ€"$84 per year. Our clothing including hats, shoes, ‘everything for summer and Winter. costs a total of $30; an average of not quite 554 V) each.

They came singly and in groups, from var- ious towns and ridings, and they go? home to regale their friends and co-‘ workers in their local struggles with the story of a. day that will long live iin the memories of those who at- } tended. ' The day was perfect, though per- haps the island was a trifle cool at night. But the fire and eloquence of ‘gthe speeches warmed everybody up tn ithe higheSt pitch of enthusiasm. 'l‘cn §thousand people at least throngml Iithe oval at Hanlan’s Point. and while considerable and general dis- appointment was felt at the absence of Hon. R. L. Borden. still the know- ledge that he was busily and sternly engaged in fighting on the floor of the House at Ottawa for those prin- ciples which the traditions and fu- ture of the Conservative party render dear to the hearts of its loyal ad- herents in a measure atoned for his forced and self-regretted absence. Mr. Whitney and a. host. of M.L.A.'s and M.P.'s nobly represented the of- ficial strength of the party, while the presence of Hon. R. P. Roblin, premier of Manitoba was enthusias- tically welcomed, and so, too. that of Hon. Messrs. Pelletier and Hacker, The various addresses were not mere blatant utterances, meant only to instill a. temporary and unwar- ranted exaltation in the minds of the thousands who listened : but were well chosen, splendidly deliver- ed and apt and pointed criticism of the weaknesses of the party in pow- er at.

HOW THE DAY BEGAN The opening event was a large and enthusiastic reception at the Queen's Hotel by J. P. Whitney. Hon. R. P. ‘Roblin, Hon. L. P. Pellctier and Hon. M. F. Hackett. Here a great handshaking and exchange of ideas took place between the committee mentioned and numerous M.P.'s and M.L.A.'s and many other lesser party lights from all over the Dominion. After this the local members hold a. similar reception at the King Edâ€" ward, where many speakers who had not been able to speak to the com- mittee at the Queen's were greeted in a thoroughly cordial manner, and whene the old and young partisans enjoyed a good talk on the great 9d.
