53:! The itidgetown Dominion, a newspaper edited by a Conserva- tive mt-iubt-i' of the Ontario Legia-l lature, recently UW't‘lt u-encnamly' with the low tariff pi'etences of the Liberals. “What is the use,” it asks, “for the eastern Liberal new:- papers "Writing nice little para-i graphs about loWel' tariff and free‘ trade and recalling the time when? nearly all Liberals were in agree- ment in considering a moderate tariff best for Canada. That goou old time ceased to exist when the party took office in 189-6.” The Dominion goes on to recall how in 1896, through the late Geo. H. Bertram, of Toronto, an assur- ance was quietly given to the mail- ufecturers that no matter what the Liberal leaders or the Liberal newspapers might promise, no harm would be done them if the Liberals won. The Dominion con- tinues: “Sir \Vilfrid surrendered to the protectionism in_1896, and Ottawa, Sept. 20.-The Economist of London, England, is a financial weekly journal of high repute. It is a journal of strong free- trade views. In its issue of Aug- ust 27th, it publishes a letter from Edmonton, Alberta, in which it blishes Sir Wilfrid’s troubles in is western tour. In the course of this letter, the correspondent of the Economist says: I “Sir Wilfrid’s position is un- comfortably vulnerable. When the Liberal party was in oppoâ€" sition, it promised to eliminate every particle of protection from the Canadian Tariff and introduce free trade “as they have it in England. Sir Wilfrid toured the West on the subject, and gave his personal assur- ance that this should be done The farmer delegates now dig up those old speeches of his, and bluntly ask him to live up to them, or they disemtomb the Liberal platform of 1893, and tell him that he and his Liberal friends have broken faith with the people. The Liberals, to be sure, have put a number of farmers’ articles on the free list and reduced the duties on others, but the reduction has in many cases been nullified in whole or in part by increases in the valuation of the imported article under the Dumping Act. a Liberal measure. The opera- tion of the Act renders the tar- iff higher than it appears to be. . For example, the duty on bug- gies is 333 per eent., but the Cusâ€" ‘ toms House fixes the value of every imported American bug- gy at $10, though the true val- ue may be only $30. Similarly while the duty 'on the larger farm implements, such as bind- ers or mowers, was reduced by _| the Protectionist Conservative i Gmmrnment from 35 t6' 17 1-2 per cent, the excessive valua- l tion no“ imposed upon Amer- ican l'intlet‘s greatly diminishes . the amount of the apparent re- lief.” . Later in his letter the corresr pondent of the Economist adds: I “There is no gainsaying, of l course. that the Liberals have , signally failed to reform th»- 5 tariff in the l'rmt and branch I manner promised. Taken all ‘ around. the reductions they have made are insignificant, and delegation after delega- tion hammers this in to Sir Wilfrid." : the proof of it is found in many things that occurred then :an-d since. Hon. David Mills, an honest low tariff man was excluded from the Cabinet until after the revision 01‘ 155'}..an(i the bargain made with the manufacturers carried out, and it was ".afe to admit him and saw: the clamor of the old Liberals at his exclusion.

Dear Sir,â€"In a recent issue, Wt, noticed a letter from the Swinton; Park runners, attempting 'to ex-. plain why they did not appear, here for the rink races on Aug, 18th. Let us give the public the, real facts of the matter. After the, first races, the 'Swinton Park boys agreed to come out again for the next series. At this second event, medals were offered as prizes. which the town lboys desired if they won the races. However, the Swinton Park boys wrote, saying they wished money prizes for any races they might win. We agreed; to their request, and wrote, prom-l ising them the money instead of; the medals we had already boughtn should they win out. The races! were advertised for August 4th,: but again in compliance with their request. as they were busy haying.‘ We postponed them till August 18: for their sole benefit. Where were. they the night of August 18th? At any rate, they were not .at' Durham, rink. where, in duty bound, they, should have been, to do justice to themselves, the promoters, and the. race-goers of Durham, who came,g e) pecting to see them competing.| They have many conflicting stories: THE NEW LIBERAL’S ARGUMENT “Yull want a post office here, and you certainly nec-d one bm'fiy, but you will never get one so long as you vote Conservativo.”â€"E. M Macdonald, M.P., at Lethbridgo It was a highly improbable story. indeed, says the London Free Press, that came from Ottawa to the effect that in an old strong Mr. Macdnonald was careless. Ev- erybody knows that such threats are made, but it is not usual to make them quite so publicly. _ The Westerners present Sh'OWed so plainly their disdpproval of this attempt to bully them, that Sir Wilfrid Laurier saw that the thing had been overdone, and when it came his turn to speak he apologized for Mr. Macdonald and promised the pqst office. Editor Chronicle. Mr. E.M Macdonald, the celebrat- ed leador of the blockers’ brigade, was one of the first speakers to address the meeting at Lethbridge. and in the course of his speech he said; “You want a post ‘office here, and you certainly need one badly. but you will never get it so long as you vote Conservative.” At Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s Leth- bridge meeting, the West was giv- en a taste of the meLhods of the Laurier Government. Lethbridge is greatly in need of a post office the town having utterly outgrown the accommodation which was pro- vided for it in by-gone years. During the general election the voters were assured by Liberal canvassers that the town could not get a post office if the constitu- ency was foolish enough to elect a Conservative. The constituency did elect a Conservative, and no post office has been erected, though such buildings have been sown thickly in the Maritime provinces in towns less than a quarter the sige of Lethbridg-e. ‘ eign or Canadian. {l'he rumor is again persistent that the United States Steel Corporation has its eye upon the Dominion Steel Corpora- tion, whose posterity is now so as- sured and will spare no effort to merge it or acquire it within a co_mpa_r_atively short time.”_ t) ex plain their non-appearanm.

Mr. Mitchell is no stranger here, by any means, having addressed the local Court on several previous occasions. As an Organizer, he is one of the best in Canada, and be- ing thoroughly in touch with his subject, delivered possibly the strongest address on fraternal in- surance ever held here. During the first twenty minutes of his address he dealt with frater- nal insurance only. He made no reference as to the benefits to be derived by uniting with any one particular Society, but frankly stated that they )were all good and were working for one great causeâ€"the protection of the widow and the orphan against want, when the bread-winner was taken away. In his whole address, not one word was said detrimental to any other Society. But, the Independent Or- der iof Foresters had many good points to offer, ahead of other So- cieties, for the consideration of the public, and, in his opinion, If every point in fraternal insurance was thoroughly gone into by the prospective candidate, he or she would not long hesitate in choos- ing the I.

By a secret process, some of the sweet atoms are replaced by the bitter principle. Then tonics and antiseptics are added, and the whole made into tablets, now known far and wide as “ FruiLa-tives.” Everyone knows {hat fruit juice is healthfulâ€"but perhaps some do not understand why this is true. l’ruit juice consistsof about 91% water. 8% of sweet principle, and '17,, of a bitter substance. It is the quantity of bitter principle in fruit that gives the fruit value as a medicine. An eminent physician of Ottawa, after years. of experimenting, found a method of increasing the bitter principle in fruit Juice, thus increasing the medicinal or curative qualities. “ Fruit-a-tives ” is the only medicine in the world that is made of fruit guices, and is one of the few remedies that have let their composition: be known rom_ tiieixj intrpductiqn to thepuhiic. _ Every user of “Fmit-a-tives” knows exactly what is being taken.
