October 26, 1888—2aw & wky | Beauty is desired and admired by all. Among the things which may best be done to enhance personal beauty is the daily use of Ayer’s Hair, Vigor. No matter what the color of the hair, this prepa- ration gives it a lus- tre and pliancy that adds greatly to its charm. Should the hair be thin, harsh, dry, or turning gray, Ayer’s Hair Vigor will restore the color, bring out a new growth, and render the old soft and shiny. For keeping the scalp clean, cool, and healthy, there is no better preparation in the market.- “‘T am free to confess that a trial of Ayer’s Hair Vigor has convinced me that it is a genuine article. Its use has not only caused the hair of my wife and daughter to be Abundant and Glossy, but it has given my rather stunted mus- tache a respectable length and appear- ance.” —R. Britton, Oakland, Ohio. “My hair was coming out (without auy assistance from my wife, either). I triod Ayer’s Hair Vigor, using only one bottle, and I now have as fine a head of hair as any one could wish for.” —R. T. Sechmittou, Dickson, Tenn. ‘*T have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor in my family for a number of years, and re- gard it as the best hair preparation I know of. It keeps the scalp clean, the hair soft and lively, and preserves the original color. My wife has used it for 2 long time with most satisfactory re- sults.’’— Benjamin M. Johnson, M. D., Thomas Hill, Mo. ** My hair was becoming harsh and dry, but after using half a bottle of Ayer’s Hair Vigor it grew black and glossy. I cannot express the joy and gratitude I feel.” — Mabel C. Hardy, Delavan, III. 5 - 2 Ayer’s Hair Vigor, PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. Sold by Druggists and Perfumers. THE PRICE OF GAS. T a meeting of the Directors of the Char- dottetown Gas Light Co., held at their office this morning, the following resolution was unanimously adopted :— Resolved,—That the net price of Gas to con- sumers be reduced to Two Dollars and Fifty Cents per Thousand Feet, on and after the first day of December next. and that no discount be allowed thereafter on the payment of Gas accounts. DANIEL DAVIES, President. Ch’town, Nov. 17, 1888—pat hei guar BOSTOY \TEAMERS, Canada—Not for Sale. At the banquet of the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Districts Dental Societies of the State vf New York, held in Syracuse recently, Dr. Beers, of Montreal, replied to the strangely worded toast, ‘* Professional Annexation.” He said: ‘I can assure you that not even the professional liars who supply the New York Herald with Canadian news, or the wily politicians who eat forked lightning for breakfast and dynamite for dinner ; not even the insane malice of men who hate Canada, as they hate Cyprus, because it belongs to Britain; not even this can lessen the admiration Canadians have for the many noble and generous traits of character which belong to their American cousins. No one more than loyal Americans would despise the poltroon who carries his patriotism in his pocket; the disloyalty of the political parasite who would make patriotism a house of cards, and dollars the chief end of a people ; intriguers who hiss out secession or annexation when they fail to get their political crimes or cretchets enshrined ; men whose hunger for notoriety and power isa fever of their existence. | am sure that you could have nothing but contempt for any free people who measure their allegiance purely by commercial standards, and who, fearing to meet the difficulties which meet every nation, turn peddlers instead of protectors of their national birthright. Just as you had and have your croakers and cowards we have ours ; but, Mr. Chairman, Canada is not forsale! There have been prophets like Goldwin Smith since the days of Elizabeth who have predicted England’s decline within their time, but all the colonial greatness of Eng- land has been developed since the time of Elizabeth. We have, as you have, bitter partisans in the press and in politics who delight to foul their own nest, who revel in the rain that destroys the crops, and who sincerely believe they can change the climate if they could change the Govern- ment. We. have a few of those wiseacres of society who assume to possess a mono- poly of foresight, and who, like Caius Caligula, think the world could have been better made could they have been con- sulted. But these people no more repre- sent the convictions of Canadians than O'Donovan Rossa or your fire-eating poli- ticians and papers represent those of true Americans. I have no desire to hurt any- body’s feelings here, but I hope] may be allowed to say something to remove the infatuation too prevalent in the States that Canada favors Annaxation. Canada minds its own business, and does not worry itself over yours, though you have coddled and dry-nursed her enemies, and when she was at peace with you, al- lowed a horde of your citizens to invade her. Frankly, | may say that while I be- lieve Canada HAS BEEN A FAIR NEIGHBOR, too often she had not found her cousin one. If for once in the Treaty of Wash- ‘ington, remembering Maine, Oregon and San Juan, she did not let your diplomatists get the better of her, she felt that she had given you at least a reasonable quid pro quo.

TRY IT and be CONVINCED. sept27 Great Western railway; but during the Red River rebeilion of 1869, your Government _ refused leave to one of our vessels to go up ‘the Sault Ste. Marie canal, and arms and ammunition were transhipped at consider- able delay. When the St. Albans raiders, ‘unknown to us, entered your territory from Canada, your Government was asked for its bill of damages and it was paid. When the Alabama claims bill was pre- | sented, it was paid so well that, years after ; every possible claim was settled, your Gov | ernment retains a large balance which ishould have been retunded to Britain! | What about the damages done to Canada ‘in Canada by your citizens during the Fenian raids, most of them wearing the uniform of branches of your national troops! Not acent has been paid. You expect Canada to know that a few quiet straggling Southerners intended to raid St. Albans; you thought that Engiand should have known that a solitary cruiser intended leaving one of her ports to prey upon your commerce. But what a splendid display of reciprocal consistency, that thousands of armed men should openly muster and drill in your chief cities for months before; open- ly occupy your border towns and villages, and attempt to invade us, and your Govy- ernment comparatively oblivious! In the face of these facts, it is not easy to swallow the statements or believe in the honesty of public men who talk of the exactions and encroachments of a people of 6,000,000 up- on a people of 60,000,000. CANADA CANNOT BE COERCED, or forced into union with such examples of political hypocrisy. There was a time, twenty years ago, when we were discon- tented provinces; when Canada proper cor - tained only 370,488 square miles; when we had few railways; when stagnation seemed to mark us; when we had no winter outlet of our own to the sea; when our great North- west was a greatunknown. Even then an- nexation was unpopular. There had not been enough accomplished then by Canadian statesmen to make their rivals envious, and your own statesmen did not dream that we could build a railway to connect the Mari- time and the old provinces, or that with a population of only 6,000,000, we would dare to span the continent with another, a work not accomplished by the States until they had 50,000,000. But can you be de- ceived into the belief that confederated Canada is now for sale, when since Con- federation, twenty years ago, our revenue or consolidated fund has immensely in- creased ; when our shipping aud its ton- nage has muvre than doubled—young Canada standing fifth on the list of nations; having more vessels than old France, Spain, Italy or Russia; when the assets of | our chartered banks, the value of our im- ports, the extent of our exports tell a story of vur marvellous progress ; when, instead a of about 2,000 miles of railway in 1867, we have now over 14,000, giving us a greater length of mileage than any other part of the Empire, excepting the United Kingdom and India; when the Canadian Pacific railway has established a line of steamers between Vancouver and Hong Kong and Japan, and our great Canadian line has become of Imperial importance ; when we , have developed our inexhaustible fisheries, thanks to your abrogation of the Recipro- city Treaty, so that we have 75,000 hardy men sailing our vessels and otherwise engaged in the business, and for 1887 we value those fisheries at $20,000,000! Can you wonder that annexation, asa serious subject, has received its doom, and that in spite ef the intoxication of senatorial con- ceit on the one side, and the croaking of malcontents and political tramps on the other, Canada is loyal to the Mother Coun- try, from whose stout old Joins both of us sprang? Confederated Canada, respected Canada, loyal Canada, progressive Canada isa personal and political insult to the sore-head parties who opposed Confede- ration, and who would welcome ANNEXATION TO TURKEY OR RUSSIA were we neighbors, or rejoice even at anni- hilation rather than live the agonizing life of seeing their prospects and predictions destroyed. Personally and even commer- cially we can find so many points of com- mon agreement that we should overlook the few where we must agree to differ. Politically, I realize 1 am a foreigner here the moment I cross the line. I am athome when I land at Liverpool, at Glasgow, at Dublin, at Bermuda, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, New Guinea, Ja- maica, Barbadoes or Trinidad. Politically I havea share in, and am proud of, the glorious old flag which waves over New Zealand, Australia, Gibraltar, Malta, Hong Kong, West Africa, Ceylon, St. Helena, Natal, British Honduras, Dominica, the Bahamas, Granada, Barbadoes, India. England is an old and apt mas- ter in annexation. Since she lost the thirteen colonies here, she has an- nexed colonies far greater in area and population, of far more value to her than if they were joined to her three kingdoms, while Spain, Portugal, Holland and France have lost theirs, and there is little or noth- ing left for any other nation to annex. I need no other political passport to the rights of a British subject, and the citizen of a great realm, comprising 65 terrivories and islands, than my Canadian birthright. I do not measure my national boundary from the Atlantic to the Pacific, but from the Pacitic to the Carribean Sea. UNDER THE REIGN OF VICTORIA, no Canadian need be ashamed to belong to an Empire which embraces a fifth of the habitable globe, and to know that his own Dominion forms nearly a half of the whole; an Empire five times as large as that which was under Darius; four times the size of that under ancient Rome; sixteen times greater than France; 40 times greater than United Germany; three times larger than the United Seates, Australia alone nearly as big as the States; India nearly a million and a quarter of square miles; Canada 600,000 square miles larger than the States, without Alaska; and 18,000 square miles larger than with it! An Empire nearly 9,000,000 of square miles, with a popula- tion of 310,000,000. Sharers in sucha realm; heirs to such vast and varied privi- ieges, Cauadiaus are not for sale. Politi- cal annexation must then remain a bug-a- boo for disappointed politicians un our side to play with, and a bubble forcertain Sena- turs on this side to blow to decoy their in- necent fanatics at home. But there is an annexation we favor, that of brotherly friendship and political good will. You have 54,000,000, the start of us. Are you the Goliah afraid of Canada as a political David? Canada has been a good neighbor. When Lincoln and Gartield died, the Dominion was in mourning. Whenever any of your men-of-war came into our ports, the citizens rejoice, aud give their men the hospi- talities of the cities. There are constant reciprocity treaties being made every day in the year between us at the altar of Hy- men. At many of our banquets the toast of the President follows that te the Queen. At most of our public gatherings your flag entwines ours. From most of our pulpits prayers are offered for your ruler as well as for ours. That is the sort of alliance we do more than you do to promote. We want, too, fair commercial reciprocity, but we shall not take commercial union for it, or bend our necks or our knees for either. Whatever betides, we can both be loyal tu our own political countries; we can both be fair, even to our own national and natural prejudices, and while Canadians mayneigh- borly pray ‘* God bless the Republic,” may you not in as friendly a spirit reciprocate with ** God Save the Queen.” ne nee Farm Notes.
