By substituting Farquharson for Castle- reagh in the above quotation it may point a moral regarding our present position. In 1890 the debt of $128,000, created by the Conservatives during their twelve years of
ottice, was held ty Mr. Farquharson as
being a most alarming state of affairs. It

expenditure That
about, as far as achange of men was con-
ofice which would
meet. was brought
| cerned, and Messrs Peters and Farquhar
son assumed office in Apri!, 1891.
What is the pcsitiontolay? Has rev~
enue and expenditure been made to meet ? Has the financial situation been relieved ? [tis unnecessary to answer these questions: It is well known that the deficit of one year, 1893, nearly equalled the entire debt left by the Conservativesas the result of tweive years administration. Nearly, if not altogether, $500,000 have been added to the debt, and this, too, net withstsnding thatin round figures $225,000 have been collected fromthe peoplein direct tax- ation during the eight years of Liberal rule. With the knowledge that they were making a deficit of $119,000 in the year 1893, Peters and Farqubarson went to the country about the end of that year with the mendacions claim that they had almost paid off the Conservative debt, that direct taxation war unaecessary and would not be imposed until the people were con- sulted at the polls.
In 1894,when the true state of the flaar- ces could no longer be concealed, a scheme of taxation was introduced, accompanied with a solemn declaration in the form of a resolution as foliows :
“Whereas, the expectation which the Government of this province has hereto. fore held, that this province would re- ceive from the Government of Canada such ao increased amount’ of subsidy as would make it unneceseary to supplement the revenue of this province by any. mode of taxation, has not heen realized, although the Government looked forward to its realization in future, and it is therefore, necessary, for the time being, by some measure Of taxation to add to the revenue of the province,”
Then came taxes on lands, income, commercial trav-liers, banks, insurance companies, etc. From these sources, as we have eaid, about $225,009 have been raised. Yet the sctual debt is now about $600,000.
In 1897 everybody could see whither. we were drifting, and a general election was imminent. Mr. F. Peters, who had already arranged to leaye the province acd did not care anything forthe future of Prince Edward Island, then announced his famous arbitration scheme by which he claimed that millions of doll srs in cash would flow into the Provincial Treasury, Messrs. Farquharson and McKinonov,who gained their elections in 1897 on this ar- bitration cry, have now repudiated it, In fact they have been forced to 1epudiate it, because the Conservative policy of se curing public works for the Island hag been partially adopted by the Laurier Ad- ministration, who have thue emphatically rejected the arbitration proporal.
With their promises regarding equa!- izing revenue aod expenditure compiéiely violated; their arbitration scheme abane doned and repudiated; almost every ex-~ pedient in the way of direct taxation al~ ready utilized, and a debt of $600,000 created, which is still growing larger by leaps and bounds,—the worst enemy of the Local Government could scarcely desire that they should be placed in a more de~ plorable situation.
Mr. Farquharson cannot meet his op. ponents successfully in a discussion of the finances of the Proyince. His whole hope is in baodling, road operations and Sir Louis Davises’ threats to have the railway “stoped”’ or “hindered’’ if the me® of Belfast and Murray Harbor vote against the Government.
Farqubarson’s road jobbery and Davise’® threats will both recoil on theirown heads. In the course of a few months we shall have honest Conservative administrations in power at Ottawa and Charlottetown.

THE ASYLUM REPORT.
Tae public are very anxious to have the report of the Asylum Commission, which should have been published long ago. Itis strongly suspected that it is withheld because of its damaging con- demnation of the Government. Premier Farquharson dares not have it published while the Belfast and Murray Harbor election contests are in progress.

Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills.
Did it ever occur to you that most railroad men die of kidney disease?
Such is the fact, howev¥er, and the disease is known among railroaders as ‘‘ railroad kidney.”
The fist and most marked symptomisaweak, lame and aching back. You may think at first that you are only tired; but as this trouble in- creases day by day, kidney disease, with all its terrors, is fast claiming you as a victim.
Mr. Geo. Cummings, for over 20 years en-
ineer on the Grand Trunk running between
oronto and Allandale, says: ‘* The constant duty with my work gave me excessive pains dr my back, racking my kidneys. I tried severat remedies until I was recommended by my fire- man, Mr. Dave Conley, to try Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. Two boxes have com- pletely cured me and I feel to-day a better man than ever. I recommend them to all my friends.”

Daniel Boucher LExperimented with
Medicines for Kighteen years—
Finally Persuaded io try Dodd’s
Kidney Pills—Five Boxes
Cured Him.
GaNnanogug, Ont. Nov. 27.—Mr. Daniel Boucher, of this town, suffered with Kide ney Disease for eighteen years, And for the best part of that eighteen years he has been striving to get cured. Experiment~ ing¥with doctors and medicines ail the time, he never once discovered a perman- ent means of relief, And now, after eight- een years, heis cured by Dodd’s Kidney Pills,
While this epeaks in the highest pos- sible termsof Dodd’s Kidney Pills it never- theless raises the question. Why did he not try Dodd’s Kidney Pills before? The weapon has laid ready to his hand for the last ten years. ‘Why did he not use it? Surely he must have known that Dodd’s Kidney Pills have cured hundreds of cases right in his own town.
It is hard to understand. Mr. Boucher may have been deceived by the pretension of imitators of Dodd’s Kidney Pills. He must have been prejudiced by other means.
However it was,Mr.“Boucher came around Dodd’s Kidney Pills at last, and ig a
r healthy man io consequence to day. * He wries;:
