OFI'ICI4L PAPER OF TRE COUNTY
FRIDAY, JULY 11, 183d.
VALEDICTORY.
1e'or the third time during the existence
of the NEW ERA we are called upon to
bid our readers farewell, but on this occa-
sion the management and editorial control
of the paper will not be placed in the
hands of a stranger to our readers.
For nineteen years, with but brief ins.
termissions, we have labored to make the
NEW ERA an acceptable guest to every
household, not only as a news paper, but
as an instructor.and upholder of the right
principles �f government, and advocate
and supporter of all local legitimate inter-
ests that tend to the prosperity and happi-
nees of the community. In the course
pursued and sentiments uttered we have
no regrets, and consequently make -no ex-
cuses or apologies, believing, as we do,
that we were then, as we are now, in the
right, and although we have been repeat-
edly charged with being too ultra in our
expressed political opinions, we take this
final opportunity of saying we.retract no-
thing; as we are conscious of being actu-
ated by no other feeling or desire than the
best interests of the country.
4.s a local paper we think we may flatter
ourselves that we have succeeded in mak-
ing the NEw ERA second to none, always
striving to collect every item that would
be useful and interesting, and sparing no
pains to obtain the truth of floating ru-
mors.
•
We have ever taken a deep interest in
everything that related to agricultiure, as
we always felt convinced that that -was the
basis of our material existence and pros-
perity, and we are happy to say we have
good evidence that our labors in this di-
rection have been appreciated by those
connected with that interest.
What the NEW ERs lips been in •the
past, we think there is not much risk in
saying that it will continue so to be in the
future—a growing and improving institu-•
tion—a paper that will give pleasure and
profit to every reader.
When the NEW ERA .was '.first issued.
Clinton was but a small village,without
any specially distinguishing feature, but
now it is a thriving town, centrally situ-
ated, more easily accessible than any other
in the county, and gives promise of always
being the most important in -it. The
farming interests surrounding it are be-
ing more thoroughly developed, and be-
coming renowned as a stock -raising sec-
tion, sending forth large. numbers of fine
team horses, fat cattleand splendid sheep,
The . reputation of the county has been
greatly raised, 'and during' the period of
the NEW nut's existence, land _has dou-
bled in value, consequently the old settlers
have materially increased in wealth and
comfort.
We now bid ouai, readers farewell,ask-
ing and hoping they will eve to our suc-
cessor as liberal support in the future • 'as
they have done to us in the past.

•—everything finds its level, The fall in
the wheat market at the present time is
owing to the prospects of an abundant
harvest in the great wheat producing ,1
areas of the world.—London Free Press.
Right you arn this time, But why did.
you mislead the farmers so for .several
years by trying to make them belive that
the supply and demand in other countirea
did not affect the price in Canada? . Why
did you tell them the N.P. would raise
the price regardless of bountiful or scarce
harvests elsewhere. And if itwon't raise
,the price, of what use is the duty of 20
per cent? Tlie N.P. must be tumbling to
pieces petty badly when the Free 'Press
goes back on it o buteit has been said that
the F.P. always goes back on anything in
which it can see no money, and there is
no money nowal its advocacy of the N,P,
The pargraph we have clipped from its
editoral•eoluinns is a truth—as such itcan-
not be refuted. It has oftenbeen distort-
ed but never proven false. • Assuming
that the Free Press believes its own utter-
ances, what a mean,• contemptible and
untruthful journal it declares itself to be,
for no paper in Canada lied. to its readers
as much on this. very subject as did the
'Free Press. It used to be'( Mackenzie: is.

there ii a prospect of grain being lower
than it was ever known to be in his time,
it is "the abundant harvest elsewhere,"
Well, itis the abundant harvest that is
going to lower the price, that is true, but
the Free Press and the whole tribe or N.
P. journals that now.adtn,'it this truism,
have shown themselves to be disgusting
liars by asserting• the opposite: - .

From time to time strikes among work-
men .against a proposed reduction of
wages,, or for other reasons, occur in the
large manufacturing centres, often veryj
Much to the inconvenience and loss of
both employer and employed. Almost
invariably when thesestri res occur, labor
unions other than those striking come to
the assistance of the dissstisfiedjworkmen,
and in the attempt to coerce the employ
ers, practise what is known as "boycott.
ing." It happens that just now the print-
ers of Toronto: are on strike, and other
organizations are trying to compel' busi-
ness men to • withdraw their patronage
from the papers opposing the strike, until
they cave in, or give way to the terms de -
mended. The boycotting system is not
only decidedly wrong, but it has a vicious
tendency, and if not promptly stamped
out by force of public opinion, legislation
will be necessary in order to •accomplish
the end, Men have- a perfect right to
quit the' employment of any one with
whom they are not satisfied to work, but
they have no tight to band themselves to-
gether and demand certain concessions
which it is almost always impossible to
grant. If any class in a community are
allowed to dictate to others as to what
course they shall pursue, certain undesir-
able results must follow, Labor must be
subject to capitaland to the laws of supply
and demand, and beef se the supply may,
be greater than the demand;they must be
,governed accordingly. We honestly be-
lieve`it would be a step in the interest of
workmen if strikes,' as at present conduct-
ed, were mada•an offence. in 'the eyes of

THE. SIaiv.AL isnot willing to accept
our plea`that the weather was, too warm
as a reason for'our hot discussing the •re-.
lative merits of Goderich and Clinton.'
Well, it makes•no difference to us in what
light the Signal .regards it. .The fact re-•
mains that Clinton is a mpre central and
consequently a ,,better business point, than
Goderich, and;•the Signa% knows•it. • Were
it necessary we could give •the name of.
' more than 'one •business man, 'who here,ex-
pressed the sentiment -that Clinton is'
long way ahead •of Goderich, and bound
to 'maint'ain its :'position as the .leading:
place in•the county. Why is -it that Com—
mercial travellers • do not care• to visit
Goderich? ' Whyis it that is a
drug ib the market there, and why is it
they are`fighting tohave the assessment
•reduced.? Why is it that -'such desperate
efforts•are being made to secure a second
r-ailway,.while there is not enotigh.'for.
onelo do.? : Simply because 'the people of
Goderich 'know that -the :town • is. .losing
ground;'and they are all ready to, grasp..
at anything which they• think will check.
the force of the fall, The Signal may;
talk all it like's about "brag, being a geed -
dog
ood-dog' but- hold fast a better," for it has ne
connedtion •.with ,the subject Whatever.
-Every:transfer of property•that hal taken'
place in Clinton during the pest year has
:been at 'surprisingly'good figures, and
why? because'property hereis a good in-
vestrn'ent. Let the editor'af the' Signal,,
interview commercial travellers (who caw.
gaugetown's position better than yeti
nor could the weather) as, .to the compare,
tive standing..cif the.two towns,., 'Let him.
interview even his otvn'husiness men,and
he will get, a few: pointers. that' 7111 prov.e
more convincing than •eveu `a•'coluniti of;
irrefutable facts• Tromi ua: •The Signal.is
well aware that the Ngw 1ita has shown
to the people of the county tlie absurdity
and injustice of Goderich remaining the
county town. It,knows that a'strong feel-
ing entists throughout the -county against
perpetrating this folly and injustice, and
'that werea'vote taken itwould be adverse
to the present state of affairs,•and the Sigma'
nal feels that sotnething must be done, if
possible, to counteraotthis, .hence .its at-
tempt to impute dishonesty to our remarks
'and cast doubts upon cur claims.: 'The
editor of the Signal might as well try, to
lap up ;Lake Huron—even if unaccusa
tomeil to water=as• to' try and- stern; the
tide of nubile • opinion that -has set in
against the lifeless town .of Goderich re-
maining, at the , head of the county. Of
course, the people -of Clinton feel very bad
because the powerful (?) intellect of, the
Signal dubs it" Mudville:" •Clinton is
muddy in wet weather -and' for-thatthat-
ter so is Chicago, 'and Winnipeg, and
scores anthers of our best basin etle places
'on the continent—but the muddy, state c,f

' -- - The Toronto Mail some weeks ago was
contemptible enough to insinuate that.'the
Ontario govertannent purposely placed the
dynatnite cartridges under the parliament
building.; but the insinuation was treated
generally with ,,the contempt it deserved"._
What will eur coritempoi'ar3t say, however,
to the fact that its Hamilton correspondent
has been arrested charged with sending a
hoax letter to the'contraator for the new
pnblie buildings in Hamilton, giving warn-
ing' that they were about to be blown up

In connection with the 'above it is 'un-
necessary for us to say very much; and we
shall, therefore, "make our bow" brief as
possible. Since the NEW EEA was first
issued we have been associated with it,
and the people, of this neighborhood• have
had ample opportunity of•becoming ac-
quainted with us. We have no specially
new features to announce as to the future
course of the NEw Eat. ' In the past it
• has been our aim to assist with all the
t "crgy and force at our command, in giv-
ing a readable, reliable and interesting
paper; that our cffortaliave been appreci-
ated is shown by the eagerness with which
it is looked for. . We shall aim to do even
better, if possible, in the future. Having
always taken a lively interest in the wel-
fare and progr, ss of Clinton, it is needless
for us to satilbat its interests will never
ho of secondary consideration with us, And
anything relating to the moral or material
progress of this section will receive our
hearty support. Wo tender our thanks to
all who have contributed in any way to
the prosperity of the NEw Ens. and trust
that we may merit and receive the spine
generous assistance in the future. As acs.
tions speak louder than words, the public-
must
ublicmust ,judge of ns as they find tis, and the
can aysure'alt that it will be a positive
pleasure to labor in their behalf ; tlttsel=
fishty •to work for their eyelnsive profit
and benefit—a:td our own. _
