We marched regularly until Suncare morning, the 1é:h February, when we ar- rived at Paardeberg drift. We thought we were in fora rest, but scarcely had we sat down when the order came to get into our kit and croas the river.

IN MEMORIAM.
It is, indeed, with feelings of deep sad- ness that we are called upoeto chronicle the death of Bersard W.McDonald, whose demise occurred ia Boston va the 3rd inst, after a short and psinful illness. The deceased, a progeny ot James and Mary McDonald, of Peake’s Station, first saw the light of day 37 yeure age in this ‘*beantiful little epeck in the Gulf,” in which place he remained until some nine years ago when the very laudable ambition to betier his foriuse seized upon him and
hurled him safely amidst a large eircle of
friends and acquaintances in the Athens of America where he continued to enjoy the pleasure of health, comfort and prosperity.
Until the death bells’ knell] has rung Ite mouroful peal a summons did con- vey, To one whose life wae in is bloom, And happy day, but now has passed away.
His life has closed to this werld’s hopes se fair;
His work is done, he’s free from eyery care; For no rewards he in this lifé might win, Could «equal those in heaven prepared for him.
Isit only a devout wieh ? May ‘t not also be a reality--a eousummatian to bs lieve that our beloved brother and friend who in dead, following the star of hie un~ faltering faith and wise also ‘n the wie- dom of God and in the lore of eur modern intellectual age, has crossed beyond tne borders of a etrange Jand and passed frem mortality te immertality, and the Child whom he werahiped ia all the blessed memories and traditions of these days basalready revealed Himeclf to him as hie eternal reward :
An vow, dear Ben, sleep on till morn, Kteroal rest upea thee ebiae ;
Thy associates, though thy lose they mours, Wait but the dark death nigat’s de cline,
Aod then when that bright morn will break, And a!l im brightoees new, awake, We'll greet thee, Bennie, Bennie, dear, Of stars the brightest ia heaven’s sphere,
Farewell, farewell, a last farewell, From all about thee gathered here; Tis hard to hear it—this death kmell,
Yet, Bennie dear, good-bye, farewell.

the benefit of greatly reduced prices in all lines Of agricultural implements of a
much superior quality to those formerly purchased at a reduced rate, all the way from 40 to 100 per cent. Binders for whic): we formerly paid $200 could be bought for from $100 to $1380; reapers formerly $130 could be bought for $85 or $90; hay mowers formerly $85, could be bought for $45; ([ am now qaoting prices of machinery in 1895.) We paid 16 cents per lb for binder twine in 1885. in 1895 we boaght it for 7 ceats. What do you pay for it today under Liberal rule? 10 cents; barbed wire in 1896 $2 5@ per hun-~ dred lbs, under Liberal rule today $4; rope, in 1896, 7 cents, under Liberal rule now 17 cents. What has become of our Sir Louis who used to exclaim so loudly against that “moustrous Cordage Combine Company,”- to uee his own words, “that Octopus that is stretching ut its fangs and sucking the life blood ard vitals ont ef this country.” Are those figures not quite ® reduction in the taxation of the farwer?
But there are eti!l greater reductions of taxation in favor of thefaraer. In 1878 we were paying 38 and 40c for tea; by the retuoval of the duty and the increase of trade under the stimulating influence of the National Policy we could buy the very sare ar‘icle in 1899 for 23 and 252. Sugar under Libera! rule $ to 10c, in 1896 3} to 4}c; all kind of cotton gouds at about the tame reduced rates, which have cer- tainly involved a great reduction ef taxa- - to the farmers and mechavice of Can-
a.
Oh! but eays the Patriot scribe. “The Liberals have increased the trade ot the courtry’’ How; by thoraughly repudiat- ing their principles and nosirums of reciprocity and “‘free trade as they have it in England” and adopting the trade policy of the Conservative party, and try~ ing to build onthose soiid and broad foundations so firmly planted by the policy of the Conservatives.
But, eays the Patriot ecribe, the Liber- als have reduced the duty on all agricul. taral implements from 40 to 69 per cent. Indeed! This ie news tome. Would the Patriot kiadly infcrm the farmers of this country On what classof machinery the Liberals redueed the duty frem 49 to 50 per cent. I am quite aware that the Conservatives reduced the duty omall the leading linesef agricultural implementa from 10 to 29 per cent. Under the pre- ferential tariff there is a slight reduction On axes, adzea, shevels and some other small articles which we donot get the benefit of as we do not import these articles frem the countries to which the preference applies.
I think I have written quite erough t- show the farmers of thie couotry which party has the right to the claim of being their frieads, by showing the amount of money they have saved is purchasing farm machioery and in their groceries and in all lines required ia the routine of farm and mechasical life. I would now «ask the Patriot to point out te us what line of implements or what
class of goods we farmers purchase or require bas = de- creased in price under the
Liberal party. Isit nota fact that farm- ers only last fall had to selltheir oats, pork and potateses fer the lowest price we have received for several years and that we have now to pay from 10 to 160 per cent more fer every article we purchase than we did in 1895 ? Still this is the party which the Patriot claimsto have proved themselves to be the farmera’ friend.
When the Patriot can show that the Liberal party bas reduced the burdens ef the people to the same extent that I have shown the Conservatives have done, and dieproves the statement I have made that we are today paying higher for allthe necesearies of life then we did iu 1895—then, and not till than, wll he be in a position to held that the Liberal party has a right to the claim of being the fr end of
