THE ItAlL\VAY AGITATION.
The Demoastratioa to Mr. Mout
A GRAND AFFAIR.
THOUSANDS DO HONOR TO THE
ONTARIO. PREMIER.
The Goderich Star says.—
The esteemed editor of the CLINTON
NEW ERA is amazed at the ignorance'
of his two cotemporaries who are on the
Goderich railway committee. Their re-
marks regarding the lake trade do not
suit the ideas of the Clinton Solon, and
he tells them they are entirely wrong -
Our cotem. of the county town, is slight-
ly off his base. We took no exception to.
the returns of the take trade for 'past
year', but did say they should' have
known better 'than expect the same trade
at the present time. We say so again,.
and until our statement is proved to
ba wrong, shall abide be it. The lake
trade to -day is not what it was a few
years ago, and the Star and Signal are.
simplydeceiving the people in trying to
make it appear that it is.. And what is
more, weibelieve these;papers are as cogni-
zant of the ture state of affairs as the are.
A fly sheet has been issued setting lentil -
certain alleged "facts" abotalthe;prospect-
ivq trade of Goderich. Here is a sample.
"Goderic r is the centre of the salt
producing; territory. of Canada. We
have 13. wells here each well farnishint,'
brine for 400 barrels of salt per day—or
together about' 5,000 barrels per day.—
We have only six of these "wells in opera-
tion, therefore the output is small in pro-
portion to our capacity for prodection -.
largely because of the lack of extended
railway connection. The proposed . line
would open lip an entirely. new territory
for the sale of our salt, and thereby: deo-
ie the 'denrar d -P--_ ---- ,_
We have the best of authority for saying
t'leet :,tatcareut in the above paragraph
that "the out put ofsalt isfsrnail because of
lackjof railway accommodation" is thepur
est, bu ncombe and no nesense, as is also the
sttement that"the proposed line would
open up an entirely new territory for the
sale of salt." And this is a specimen .of
the "facts" upon, which Goderich hopestto
secure another railway. •
One of the most shrewd business men. of
Goderich remarked no longer ago than
last week, "the agitation for extra rail-
way accommodation wassimply beating
the air," and we believe bespeaks the sen-
timents of more than himself.
THE London Free Press is everlasting -
The reception accorded Mr. Mowat on

can give an adequate idea of that wonder-
ful! triumphal progress. As. far as the
eye could see ut Youge-street, and along
King to York streets, waving banners
floated over a dense and compact column
four deep. No gaudy uniform was required
to add to the grandeur of the spectacle;
for noo uniform could have added dignity
to the laces stamped with the impress of
honesty and intelligence which passed in
review. Above them floated banners
with inscriptions, which voiced the great-
ful and exultant emotions of the people
of Ontario at the glorious victory obtain-
ed by Ontario's Premier. The young men
led the procession,and well up to the.
fore were the Oxford men„ showing by
their banners a just pride in the honour
of being the political home of the Pre-

ground that confederation under a revised

Government would be preferable, : to set

vincial government and believes that every
