Lucknow Sentinel, 1892-05-27, Page 4ti -i af Fe ' tultina#,entinti J ' !RE LIBERTY TO UTTER AND TO ARGUE FREELY ACCORDING TO THE DICTATES OF CONSCIENCE WE PRIZE ABOVE ALL OTHER LIBERTIES Lucknow, May 27th, 1802. THE statement has been made, and' we have an idea that itis correct, that during the last twenty-five 'years each dissolution of the British Parlia- ment has been followed by the return of the Opposition. History often repeats itsels. The Liberals are now in Opposition, and the chances are that even .Salisbury's flop on the trade quastion will not save him. HERE are some of the latest sta- tistics which will probably amaze the people of Great Britain who may see the new map just issued by the Ontario government. The area pi the Proyince .is given at 222,650 square miles, of which 187,00�t uare. miles unsold. The whole area of Great Britain and Ireland is only 121,115 square 'miles, or over 60,000 less than the portion of Ontario still in the hands of the Crown. AMONG the evils which afflict this counrty politics occupy an important place. The Presbyterian Synod of Toronto and Kingston has given its opinion as to the hindrance to religious life. It asserts that they are chiefly to be found in the tendency to speak disparingjy • of the services of the Church, intemperance, late evening parties and dancing, heated election contests, development of evil in high places, and the bitterness of partisan feeling. Out of the six great evils the politicians have to answer for at least three. ” To the Editor of the Sentinel, Bir,—In reading the debate in the T-lousc of Commons lately on Mr. Watson's motion to put binding twine • on the free list, one ' scarcely knows whether to be more amused or disgust- ed at the pitiful humbug displayed in the speeches of Messrs Fairbairn, Smith, ' etc. Surely burns • had such men in his' mind when be said. They gang in stirks an' come oot asses, Plain truth to•speak. • • One is prepared for some pretty bold statements in such quarters, but for a man calling himself 'a farmer to say ,the duty sloes not, raise the price of twine beats all. Let us see briefly how this •twine question affects us in the Northwest. Last year the price . charged by the local machine agents here was 17,c per pound cash • for best Canadian twine. The Patrons of In- dustry, however, purchased an equally• .good•arli.cle of.American slake at 13 ;c cash,. or 14c till December 1. But that is to much as I will show. A short. time ago I had occasion to write the suprem secretary„ Patrons of In - du ;try,. to asl- the price at which cer- taifl- articles wore furnished to members in the United • States. Here is .the reply—"Re binder twine ---=For best fled Elephant brand, anti=twine, we got last year for eight cents." Eight cents to the American Patron,' seven- teen cants to 'the average Northtdest farmer 1• Even with the monopoly of the C. P. R. this twine, if duty free, could have been laid down here at' eleven cents, or six cents per pound Less than the Canadain article. "See how this affects us here. A neighbor used over 1,000 pounds. His extra tax was over 890. Nearly all the settlers here would use from 300 to 500 pounds each, or an extra ,tax on each one of from 81S, to 830. What a grapnel way to promote the settlement of the Northwest !• Blit' where - were the members for Assiniboia on the occasion. The silver-tongued orator from Regina roared as gentle as ,a sucking dove against the duty during the previous debate, but when the vote came. 0 Where tett§ N ichnlas then ? {{is vote on the ditison list • Were worth a thousand - speeches. Perhaps the sag was deeply congita- ting how to "peddle drains to a govern- ment that had none of its own, or that is all" animal Ihagnetism in the head and no brains in the tale." At max, u.„-,.. •: 'K?�'�".o...p '••A . x .a The Lucknow Sentinel, Bruce County, Friday, May 27th any rate his name was conspicuous by its absence on the division list. As for Mr. Dewdney, there is no one imple; enough -to. expect -him to • either` speak or vote for the people's rights where those rights, and the privileges of the monopolists, or the robber policy of the Government come in conflict. It can be safely affirmed that a large number of his supporters at the last elections used but little binding twine. A great deal of surprise has been expressed at the email actual in- crease of population in the Northwest during the past ten years. But a man with any eyes to see does not need to live here very long till he can have some light on the subject. All the Governlnent has to do is to tax or allow the monopolists to tax the settler up to the limits of his endurance to render the struggle for existence as intense as possible, even in this new land, to cause many who came here with high hopes and reasonable expec- tations to abandori the contest and seek other places where the conditions are more favorable. This has been done on both sides, and the result is as we see it. 'With your kind preinissiowI may return at a future time to this question of duties in the Northwest b JOHN NICHOLLS.

Methodist church the following resolution' was unanimously adopted : To Mr. and Mrs. S. Barter : 'DEAR BRO.
