14Iy stock of WALL PAPER and DECORATIONS for the spring trade, are
marked off and are now complete, samples of which I will, take great pleasure in
showing to my friends throughout the country.' These papers were bought direct
from the leading Canadian and European manufacturers,'and will be found to
contain the newest and handsomest designs in the market, great care havingbeen'.
taken to select such patterns as experience has taught nae are particularly, adapted'
to the requirements :ef my 'Customers.
Last week my papers were pronounced,` by all who saw them, the best value and rayaeeor-t•,
ment the finest ever shown -in Clinton.' The amount sold was very large. The goods- turned
out as represented, and gave entire satisfaction to my cnstottera. Nly collection'ttiia; Beek ie:
much larger, the ,assortment much -better, and the prices so low as to defy; competition. 'I'
am confident an inspection will -confirm the statement that my efforts to meet the wants of
my customers, are far ahead of anything ever attempted by any dealer', in Clinton.
:a� I would call attention to the fact that my papers are full 21 inches wide, while those -
generally sold are only 18 inches., -

WOOL AND THE N, P.
A FARMER'S VIEWS THEREON.
To tile Editor of the Clinton New Era.
I've just seen an article in the Huron Re-
cord criticising your 'strictures on returns
lately laid before the House of Commons, on
the importation of wool into the Dominion of
Canada, in which yon truly say that the pro-
tection on wool, as fat as the. Canadian
farmer is concerned, is pure humbug and de-
eeption.
The editor of the Record fails to see where
the farmers ale humbugged or deceived, and
says he thinks it can be easily .shown that
the farmers especially, and the public gene:
rally, are much :benefitted by the facts dis-
closed in the returns. —
Which returns show that 4,480,772 pounds
of wool came into the country duty,free.,'
Now, Mr. Editor, as a' fencer,'I do not
object to this amount of wool coming into the
country free of duty. The same returns
show 21,332 pounds, upon which there is a
duty of 3 cents' per pound, this being wool `of
the same description, as that generally raised
by Canadian farmers. But the deception
and bumbugging comes in in imposing a duty
of 7t cents per pound on; woollen manufac- Barley,

Then, Mr. Editor, the dishonesty of the;
editor of the Record can be shown by his own
statements,when be says that the bulk of the
foreign wools came to us in the shape of
manufactured fabrics before the N. P., anal" re\
makes a calculation showing that nearlyigL

and strongly eulogises the Government for
their farsighted policy in encouraging home

In examiningthe trade and navigation re-
turns for 1877,,I find' that 4,608,825 -pounds
of wool was imported into:Canada,,duty,'free,
for home.consumption, consequently to be
manufactured into cloth, which shows 128,-'
053 pounds of wool more, than the late returns
laid before the House. . Apply his, own figures
of 15 cents per 'pound, which• gives $19,207

I said' the present Governnient felt the N.
P. to be an imposition, which I will endeavor
to show in the matter of woollen goods. In
:imposing the, N. P.;• the Government stated
their object to be the encouragement of'home
industries, in order that our surplus produce
might be consumed, andgive ourfarmers a
home market:for all their produce. As 'the.
