While thanks will be offered up for full coal bins, fruit cel- lars, healthy looking bank ac- counts and absence of the hun- dred and one troubles to which John:Smith is heir, most thanks will arise from the city dwellers whose home front on conces- sions not too far away for a week-end trip, where cran- berries and apples and pump: kins and turkeys grow the larg- 'est, where the finest cook in the world remembers boyhood and girlhood tastes. !

Progressives and the Liberals would join to defeat any attempt to make a really "Protective" tariff. Certainly the West is not favorable to high tariff, and the far East would have been glad if Reciprocity had become a fact in 1911, as their natural markets are closed, and other markets have not been provided in the place of the United States market which is closed from the view.point of the people of Nova Scotia. in the recent election campaign, it is not the most important issue béfore the people.

This is a time when our politicians could become statesmen, and give us constructive legislation. Another election would only mean increased bitterness. To any person who wishes his country well, election time is to say the least of it unpleasant. For four years Conservatives and - Liberals lived together in harmony.

If this is true in an ordinary election, what would it be if we staged a "fight to a finish » a The fact of the matter is that Canada at the present time cannot afford the luxury of a paid opposition whose business it is to belittle and destroy the work of. the Government.

One thing is certain, the further bitterness and misrepre- sentation of another election will not help matters any. A real statement of the party platform would be helpful. It would also be enlightening to learn how much the tariff has been lowered during the past twenty years; and how much it would be raised and on what articles, if the Conservatives were in power.
