INACTIVITY OP THE KIDNEYS

Whc-n not promptly remedied is the certain precursor of their disease and destruction Wolfe's Schnapps reolaims and iuTigorates them. THE POLICY THE COtTNTET NEEDS. • TO THB EDITwB. Sir— lt is with great pleasure I hare read your leading artiole of the Bth met. headed as above. lam Bare every one of your readers who wisheß to see tha country dragged ont of the present political mire in whioh it is bogged will agree with the main features of the polioy yon have enunciated. It is a programme which onght to be taken up at once and a new Party formed to force it on the atention of the publio, so as to get the people to understand what the effeot of it would be on the oountry. It -will take all the time between now and the general election to do this. Not a day should be lost, and the Btart should be made in the Empire City. It is as plain aa a pike-staff We shall get no good from tha House of Representatives as at present constituted . It is an Augean stable that badly wantaoleansing. To look to it for reform is hopeleßß. Itself requires reforming/out of existence. It is quite true " none of their minds rise beyond tinkering." The rank and file of the Government Party have shown themselves (m two memorable, divisions) entirely wanting in moral stamina. They have utterly ignored the question of right ana wrong. They havo absolutely refused to recognise truth, and have wrapped themselves round with tbe mantle of falsehood. Direct taxation I have been advocating for many years past, over ainoe I shook myself free from a belief in the Stout- Voget liiniitry and their tariff pronoaals,' These proposals put them out of office. The present tariff proposals should put this wretohed abortion of a Party out in the oold also. There seems to be a blight falling on what few good men are in' their ranks, so that they cease to assert their right of manhood. How can men like O'Began— who, if he believes in .anything;, believes 'in direct taxation— support a Government that has gone clean away from what it 'started with? What did John Ballanbe -promise as a fundamental part of his programme? Remittance of the" Cnstoms duties on the neoesiaries of life. Have his successors made any effort to carry this polioy out? No ! Neither would they if they were there for a hundred years. They are not built that way. Is it not wonderful that the wage-earners of the colony can continue to be humbugged " se«Bton after session, year after year? It chows how utterly helpless ignorance is. The commercial olass is very little better. They go on grinding away at the desk or oounter, and think it none of their business, and look ackanoe at one of their own order if he should show an inclination to an interest in the management or mismanagement of the country; and if an employ* dares to think about it he is a marked man. Beform is a work hateful to. the average colonial— he ikes to gat into a rut and itiok thew-but tbe tun* has arrived whan something must

be done, and that soon. A new departure on the lines you have suggested is lbs only hope of progress. By taking this void we shall get on to terra /trma -we shall get out into the broad daylight of common honesty of purpose. This way lies salvation, lam, Ac, Indei. 10th August, 1895.
