LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

False Charges Refuted.

Srr,—In the Patriot of the 26th ult. I noticed a letter signed *‘Another Observer,” indited, no doubt, by the Souris M. P. himself, in which various charges are made against the Protestants of the dis- trict, and those living at North Lake in particular.

They are charged with bigotry because they supported A. C. McDonald, Esq., and Dr. Muttart at the last Dominion elec- tion, in preference to the Grit candidates. I cannot perceive how ‘*Another Observer” can justify this charge, as he very well knows thatA.C McDonald is and has always been a good Catholic. Again, at the local election of 1886, Charles McEachern, Esq., one of the Liberal-Conservative candidates, who is also a good Catholic, received the votes of nearly all the Protestants of North Lake, West River, Bay Fortune, and Souris. But perhaps] can tell ‘Another Ob- server’ the reason why a large number of the Catholic and Protestant electors of the district, who formerly supported the Souris M. P., did not do so at the last election. it was because the Grit party had no piat- form. Their leaders preached Free Tradein this Province, Secession in Nova Scotia, Rielism in Quebec, and Protection ia On- tario—and theretore they supported Sir John A Macdonald and the Liberal-Con- servative party that had 2 policy by which Canada then was and is now prospering. Being well acquainted with nearly all of the Catholics and Protestants of the district, I can say, without the least fear of successful contradiction, thatthey are now, under the Conservative regime, living in harmony, peace and good-fellowship; and long may they continue to do so, the opinions or wishes of *‘Another Observer” to the con- trary notwithstanding.

The public, can most favorably con- trast the harmony and good-will now exist- ing between Catholics and Protestants in this Province with the religious strife and bickerings under the Grit rule, and which **Another Observer” and his Grit asso- Clates are again eudeavoring to resurrect. I am sure that a very large majority of the electors of the district will agree with me ia saying that it is not the act of a Christian M. P. to circulate falsehood and intolerance amongst his co-religionists, in order that he and his lieutenants may secure their votes for coming elections.

AN ELe¢cror.

The Favorit Medicine for Throat and Lung Diffi- culties has long been, and still is, Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. It cures Croup, Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, and Asthma; soothes irritation of the Laryux and Fauces; strengthens the Vocal Organs; allays soreness of the Lungs; prevents Consumption, and, even in advanced stages of that disease, relieves Coughing and induces Sleep. There is no other preparation for dis- eases of the throat and lungs to be com- pared with this remedy.

“My wife had a distressing cough, with pains in the side and breast. e (ried various medicines, but none did ler any good until I got a bottle of Ayer’s as Pectoral, which has cured her. A neighbor, Mrs. Glenn, had the measles, and the cough was relieved b the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. lave no hesitation in recommending this

“IT have been afilicted with asthma for forty years. Last spring I was taken with a violent cough, whick threatened to terminate my days, Every one pro- nounced me in consumption. I deter- mined to try Ayer’s Cherry Pecteral. its effects were magical. I was immedi- ately relieved and continued to improve until entirely recovered.”’—Joel Bullard, Guilford, Coun,

* Six months ago I had a severe hem- orrhage of the lungs, brought on by an incessant cough which deprived me of sleep and rest. I tried various reme- dies, but obtained no relief until I be- gan to take Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. A few bottles of this medicine cured me.” Mrs. E. Coburn, 19 Second st., Lowell, Mass.
