That class of the community which are
the most seriously affected by political
economy, or those social and natural laws
that regulate and govern the business of--.
fairs of life, appear to be the most ignos
rant of them, and consequently do the
greatest violence to them and suffer ac-
cordingly. Laborers, mechanics, factor/
• operatives, servants, &c., as they naturally
are the lowest strata of society, are•always
• the first to feel and suffer most from any
disturbance in the financial world, and it
would be naturally supposed:,that' the
want and suffering would stimulate them
:to think seriously and investigate the
causes which entail upon .them so much
Misery, and exert themselvts to the ut-
most in providing remedies and iiittigat-
ing their condition ; but, itutbrtunately,
this is not the case, and although they,
formunions, and enter into combinations
for mutual assistance, they rarely Iairane
a course that will ultimately make their
condition better, and they .al*pear to be

The following article, from the, Hamil-
ton Tiwes,, is worthy of serious pesilsal :—
The tendency of the' lavish grants made
by Parliament to local and other xailw ays
is to keep taxes up. The money must be
borrowed, the interests must be paid, aid
it we adhere to the system of raising reve-
nue from Customs duties, the tariff must
be high. Under these circumstances those
manufacturers who still think that pro-
tection is a good .thing for themwill rather
rejoice at the enlargement of the public
burden, for the netiessity of a big interest
payment gives them promise of a high.
tariff, no matter wbst party may be in
power, Only a small percentage of the
people of Canada can be helped by a pro-
tective tariff, and the help that is given to
that minority is as costly to the self-sup-
porting'community as is the industry of
the:naan-of-three-letters who melt brooches
and watch cases into lump gold. The
course of the Tory leaders in power is
what might have been expected, ' When
'given an inch., they have been prompt to
take an ell.. . They said they' wanted a
tariff that would produce .enough revenge
-for the needs of the country, and _they
wanted the tariff so adjusted that it would
favor Canadian industries' while those in-
dustries were young and too2week"to with-
stand•foreign competition: Now the said
industries,, though older, are' weaker than
ever and.more in need of nursing. To
raise the duties high enough to ;suit the
protected manufacturers. might produce'
too great a surplus '• of revenue, if •public
expenditures were.kept down to in econo-
mical scale, so the Government' has pro-
ceeded to vote away money to:all setts :of
local railways, has enlarged the Provincial'
subsides and.has furnished'funds to pay a
portion of gtiebec's•debts. Thusjthe Tory,
leaders will•be Ale to Oiler tfr; t the to-.
riff, though high, is -still a revenue tariff';'
that more revenuols needed than us
suffice. They are riding t free horse to;
death, when ground ;down tilt .endurance•
is no' longer possible the victinis of the opf
pressive tariffwill raise in their might, and

were doing:. But -there have been many

as free as air. His scheme is an impossi-,
bility, for'although there is any quantityt
of land in the world, 'as free as_ air, it is
of little useto anybody because no labor.
or capital has been expended in making
it available for man's benefit, and before
that labor and capital will be expended -
upon it, it • must become the prep erty of
!some one so as to ensure the return to the
laborer and capitalist a profit or interest.
It ' is. this personal proprietorshiu in

-barbarism' and civilization- security in
the possession of the results of labor,, pru-:

only way to equalite the product of labor.
. is the removal of all restrictions 'on the
disposal of land --the abolition of all mo. •
nopolies made possible• by the tariff laws,.
and place all interests and •occupations on
one basis -L -a free and :open competition..
There is no royal road tri 'wealth, and

ing their years. .In view of the proposed
submission of the Scott Act in different
couuties, the L. V's. have formed an . as-
sociation and raised funds for the express
purpose of opposing -the act wherever it is
to be submitted. This is a pbrfetly legal
mate proceeding, but we da'not think it
will strengthen the liquor interest one.
iota: On the contrary, we believe' it will
stimulate temperance people to greater
Persons activity. 1 ersons engaged in the liquor
traffic may as well recognize the fact that
• at no very distant day the business• will
be so restricted that there will -be -neither
pleasure or profit in carrying it on; ;and
:coney spent in opposing temperance
movements fill be only thrown away
for sooner or later, these sentiments will
universally prevail. In Oxford it cost the
temperance people $2,500 to carry the
Scott Act, and if the same sum were
needed to carry the Act in every county
