THE TRUE PROTECTION.

Nowadays tho fiscal polioy is always a prominent plank in tho platform of overy politician,yet isitawiso policy un the pait oftheconauineisto place a tax on tho articles which they do not make but only consume? Suppose, for instance, tho customs duty is 33 pur cent un imported poods, the wages of the labourer in all grades of employment in a country thus protected, should be 33 per cent, higher than in a Ireetrado country, to make things oquiil but, is it ever the case?

I have been in many hospitals, and when out of them have tried all sorts of patont medicines without avail, About two months ago 1 experienced a very sovero turn, and seeing Clement's Tonic advortised I decided to try it (not that I thought It would do me any good, but I was so ill I must have something). I havo used only two bottles, and can say truthfully that I am now stronger and better than any time within the last six years, and intend to continuo its useAnother man to whom I recommended Clement's Tonic said to me, " I wish to God I had knuwn of such modicino ten years ago," so muoh good it had done him, You are at liberty to publish this if of service
