Donald Parquharson |‘ Sirn,— Little attention might be paid tc occupy. You must not therefore ima- gine that lam moved from malice prepense ip thus addressing you. The safety ot the country demands that chicauery, deception and false promises on the part of ite re- presentatives in Parliament,.in fact men of “ansound principles,” should stand re~ buked before the electorate of this pro- vince. Your record as a party deserves sever? reprimand and rebuke. I desire to recapitulate a few things. ‘The public ac- counts of this province do sot contain & full statement of our liabilities and should Items are carried over from vear to year which you should publish and nothing should be kept back. The Asy- lum matters may be allowed to stand over awaiting the report of the commissioners. It will be an interesting documeat, and I shall await its publication with interest. I hope you will give it tothe public at once and rot wai for the meeting of the Legislature. Why don’t you publish the ac- counts up to the let of July last as an instalment of Mr. Peters act passed in 1891 2? Why don’t yon publish the agreement you made with the Domin ion Goveroment respecting the Hills» borough Bridge? A moat ruinous agree~ ment that should not be ratified. What have you dope? Before a dollar ie spent you have submitted to a reductien of our federal subsidy annually to the extent of $12,000. I would fondly hope it was not trae, bat your silence as a party gives Conseat to thetruth of the allegations made in this matter. The electors of this province are entitled to the Hillsborough bridge and every mile of railway that the people contend for ; and the policy of insisting upon the Dominion Government for the building of these works is the only feasible way of ever getting our claims satisfied, The large amount spent on railways and canals is in evidence against yon and I am not aware of a single instance where any provincial government was asked to con~ tribute as you have agreed todo. Retrace your steps and relieve thie country of that annual payment, or resign and hand over the reins to men who will consider the interests of the taxpayers of tue province. There is oaly one policy that the electore can maintain now in the face of the de» ficits yor have created,—and that ia strict economy with such taxation as the pedple cac bear, together with honest men’ to administer the affairs of the province. Honest men are indispensible. Every province in Canada is now groaning under Grit misrule. The people are anxious to got ridof you. The Conservative party are ready with live and willing men ‘to stand totheir guns; and when the/time comes you will not find them sleeping. In the language of Mr. Sinclair they can- not form an estimate of the taxation re- quired until they reckon how the business of the province in every particular stands. You bave it in your power to publish an exact statement of the indebtedness of the Province with all outstanding liabili- ties. Why don’t youdoit? You are the servant of the people and no longer cau lay any claimto beour sovereign. The people are sovereign. Mr. MclIonis, of British Columbia, has resigned his seat in Parliament as a pro» test against Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s broken promises. When will Sir Louis, and his adherents from this province do likewise 7? Grit promises, like pie crusts, are made to be broken. It is time you realized that this country is not your property—that you are simply a trustee (as you are of the asylum) and, that tue country looks to you to give an account of your etewardship by publishing the fisancia!l standing of this province to date,and all contracts made ty you that are standing over. Advice or a'gument appear to be Jost upon you. William Penn, when about te leave his family for America, reminded his wife of hia impoverishment and recommended economy, “live low and sparingiy til] my debts be paid.” Yet, for his children he adds, “Let their learning be liberal : spare no cost, for by such parsimony all is lost that is saved.” Here is an example which you disregarded when you lopped off the teachers ealaries without making any suitable provision in lieu of what you have deducted. Our schools will scon dwindle tothird clase. The best teachers will leave and give up the profession. The Liberal pariy,with Tarte at their head, seem to haveacted upon the advice of the Oracle of Delphi when voting millions away upon very questionable projects; ‘‘Make coin thy weapon and thou’lt con- quer all” was the advice given to Philip. fhereare men like Andrew Marvell who will despise the riches of Croesus. Solon, one Of the seven wisemen of Greece, was asked after seeing the wealth of the kiog which of mankind in all bis travels he had found the most trnly happy? “(ine Teilus,” replied Solon, “s citizen of Athens, a very honest and good man, who, after having lived all his days without indigence, having always seen his country in @ flourishing condition has left children that are universally es- teemed, has had the satisfaction of seeing those children’s children, and at last died gloriously in fighting for his country.’’ The riches of Croesus or the gold of the Kloudyke will not sway the electors of Canada from doing their duty when the time comes. They will punish with a ven-~ geance the miserable crowd of tricksters who obtained power by broken promises and the raising of a religious cry over the schools of Manitoba. But there are in Canada men whe realize today that the leaders of the Conservative party with Sir denomination will read it not be entirely lost upon the electorate, although, in the language of Goldsmith to Johneon, it would require the butt end of a pistol to make you alive to the interesta of The Unsound, this country generally, friend farewell.

He Was Afflicted with Illness for a Long Period, and Thought His Days of Usefulness were Past— He is Again as Hearty and Robust as He Was Twenty Years Ago. ee ee eee From the Free Press, Acton, Ont. No man is better known to the peeple of the counties of Halton and Wellington than William Hemstreet, a pioneer and much esteemed resident of Acton. Mr. damestreet is a native of this conntry, have ing been born in Trafalgar township in 1817. In bis younger days Mr. Hametreet conducted a tanning business. He sub* sequently engaged in the droving and butchering business, and some twenty-five years ago, Owing to bis superior knows ledge of the value of live stock, he took out a license as an auctioneer. In this calling he became at once popular andhe was constantly on the road, driving in al) kinds of weather, holding auction eales severai days a week. Although possess- ing a strong, bealthy constitution, the con- tinued exposure and hard work of selling, rome days for aix or eight bours at a stretch, he gradually lost his streagth and vigor,and about three years ago he foun: himself a collapsed and worn-out man. In conversation with a reporter of the Free Press he said:—“I felt that my days of usefulness wereover. My strength had departed, my voice was gone, 1 was too weak todo work of any kind and I was undeniably useless to myself or anyone else. My eymptome were peculiar and bafiled several of the best local physicians, who differed very much in their diagnosis, I took took their medicines faithfully but no improvement reeulted.

When Mr. Hemsetreet’s condition was most serious his attention was attracted by the pub- lished tesiimonial of Rev Mr Freeman, a minister with whom be was personally acquainted, relaiing to his restoration to health after using Dr Williams’ Pink Pills. He was part’cularly impressed with this testimonial and concluded that these pills must possess singular merit dnd healing power orRev Mr Freeman would not lend his name to their ad- probation. Mr. Hemstreet then decided to give them atrial; he first got one box, then three, then halfa dozen, and took them regularly. No very marked effecte, he says, were noticeable, buc with char- acteristic persistence he purchased a fur-~ ther supply. By the time twelve or thirteen boxes had been taken, he felt that new blood was coursiog threugh his veine, that he possessed new vigor and was able to perform all the duties his business calls demanded. ‘ For a year I continued to take the pill,” he said. “I knew I was regaining my _ old time strength and gocd health and I was determined the cure suould be coms plete and permanevt, andI give them the credit for making methe new man I feel myself to be today.
