FRIDAY, SEPT. 7, 1888:
Itetatli�ttiVu.
This matter still engrosses public at.
tentiou, but there are nu new develop-
ments concerning it, further than that
it is being discussed in Congress. A
good many American papers express
the belief that it would be us Much to
the injury of their owu interests as to
ours, and. not a few Canadian papers
are of the same opinion. Some have
gone so fur as to believe that 4t might
lead to war, but such ailing is hardly
to be seriously thought of, as there is
scarcely the slightest probability that
such a thing would be reached. While
the Dominion Cabinet has bsen consid-
ering the matter no authoritative action
has been taken, and is not likely to be
until something more decisive has been
reached by President Cleveland. The
Buffalo Courier, which is the personal
organ of Mr Cleveland, takes the
ground that he means to enforce'Itetal-
iation in its entirety. For the sake of
Canadian interests we sincerely hope he
may do nothing of the kind, because it
must be admitted that it would affect
so many different channels of trade that
business would be greatly embarrassed
for the time being, at a1 rate. People
are anxiously waiting to see what is
coming next and what will be the out-
come of a move possibly made for politi-
cal effect, yet ono fraught with grave

31 r. Greenway tt ati ii
The News -Record has conte to the
assistance of the Mitchell Advocate in
the "G1'eeiiway-turnover discussion,"
and like the latter paper, our local co -
tern introduces a lot of irrelevant mat-
ter into the argument, and then gives
its whole case away by admitting the
very point_ that we;have been"asserting
all along. We-neverr denied that Mr
Greenway ran twice as a Conservative
candidate and spoke against the Re-
i l nominee.Nor did ' r
tern 1 d eve 11 any
sense attempt it ,justification of his
changing over after he had thus ran,
but the chief point that we established
was the fact of his not being a conser-
vative all his life prior to his nomiva.
• tionby
that party. • The News -Record
admits that this week in the following
sentence:
"We must admit that ho espoused
the Conservative cause after he canto to
IIuron."
That proves our case, ;and further ar-
gument is • unnecessary. Mr Ureen•
way became a nominal Conservative
after he removed to Devon, now Cen-
tralia, (he had been living in Huron
long before that) and no amount of
specious reasoning can alter a fact
known to so many still living in the
South Riding of IIuron. But what
nice cousistensy'for our Conservative
friends to assail Mr Greenway for
changing from a Conservative to a• Re-
former, while in their eyes it was a vir-
tue for him to originally change from a
Reformer to a Conservative. We know
the. ,rot n1 thoroughly in the whole
Greenway business, so fartas it relates
to:South Huron, and if any of our co -
temporaries wish it we can 'furnish
them with the names of active Conser-
vatives who will cerrobmrate all that
the have saki.

The decision to do away with the De-
cember session, was certainly bn the
score of economy, but not because of
t he poor crops, as the members knew
very little about them at the time the
resolution was passed, "•
As some of the mills that were in the
wholesale cotton combine would cut
prices below the rate fix, d by the asso-
ciation, the combing has collapsed.
This will be unfortunate, (?) very, be-

cottons cheaper, ,it will prove that the
protectionist organs, which have al
along maintain{;d that prices were not
increased by a combination, were not
as honest as they might have been it

An unfounded rumor got abroad the
other day that Hon. Mr Pardee was
about to resign on account of ill -health,
and on the strength of it, the London
Free Press gave hint an exceedingly
complimentary send off, admitting
that "hie career hadlbeeu an honorable
one." "No allegations] .of j a personal
kind h ave ever been made against him,'

all the conplimeute paid Itim, .but the

his first public appearance at Port Intron
a few days ago, and ill the course of a
long speech made some statements con-
cerning a protective tariff that ai,ply
just as well to Canada. ;,Here ,argAis
remarks on this point: -
"We are told that a high tariff makes
a country richer, as if it (were possible
to make a countrylrieh by oppressively
taxing the hoopla. Ain't that a new
way to make a man rich -to run- your
P hand into his pocket and take out
what you find there, and that without
any just reason whatever for so doing?
Ain't that a singular way to make any-
body rich? And tliat is precisely the
plan that those folks advocate when
they tell us that the country is to be
wade wealthy by means of high taxa-
tion. Again, they have the adaucity to
say that this tariff tax is not paid by
the consumers of the articles which are
taxed. Why,;if the consumers of taxed
articles do not pay he tax I would like
to know who does. Do these protection
orators pay it? Who pays it if the
people who"consume the articles that
are taxed don't? Now, my friends, if
you will reflect for a moment you will
see that it is necessarily the easel that
tariff taxes are. paid by the consumer
of the articl ich are taxed and all
the doirlostit t1ieles of a like kind
which are manufactured in the United
States. It is a curious fact, and one of
the worst things about this tariff tax,
that while the government gets one
dollar resulting from the tax domestic
manufacturers get $5, as it is best esti-
mated, that never goes in the treasury
at all. How does this happen:' A man
called an importer brings goods into
the United States to be sold. He can-
not sell a yard or a pound until he pays
this tariff tax. He pays it therefore
arad then sells to the merchant. Of
course he must get this tax back in the
price for which lie sells or he would
lose his money. His business would
break up at once. Therefore he puts
the tax upon the original cost of the
goods and, with the cost of transporta-
tion and his reasonable commercial
profit, he sells the goods to the mer-
chant. Tho merchant sells to the 're -
trail merchant and of course this tax
which entered into the price is added.
The retail merchant has to add it to
his price to the consumer. Now, how
much do you pay? The amount of
dutiable goods:imported into the United
States last year was in value $450,000,-
000 in round numbers. The duties col-
lected on these goods wore $212,000,000
and a fraction. That went into the
treasury. But this was the least of the
burden, The domestic manufactures
of the same kind of commodities that
year amounted to $5,369,000,000,aud}as
the price of these goods was raised by
the tariff in nearly equal proportion to
the price of the goods that were im-
ported the amount which the people
paid by reason of these high prices of
what they had to buy or had to use
amounted to one billion.1 ' •
T us is about
five times as much as the tax received
by the government for the uses of goy.
eminent. It other words, the whole
community was taxed about one billion
dollars for the benefit of comparatively
a small portion:of the commt'nity."
'1'lrere can be no truth in the rumor
that the Government will still allow
oysters to come in free. but will put a
duty on the shell. This would be a
very small thing to do, but no smaller
than to put aduty on'fruiitt.,,baketa,
In a reference ta,_'Dr Sutherland's
Third Party, the Empire says: --
°'The elections in Colchester and Hal-
ton have shown that the Grit temper.
ante man will vote with his party, let
what will happen, and Dr Sutherland
can hardly hope that this sacrifice of
political principal is to be all on the
one side.'
What -advantage would it be, pray,
for him to vote with the other party.
We agree with the Empire, though,
when it says we "can hardly hope that
this sacrifice of political principal is to
be all on the one side," and for that i
very reason we 'have opposed, as un -
practicable, the Third Party. \Ve do
not expect. itt a straight party content,
that Conservative temperance men
will forsake their party and vote for a
Reformer who plight be strong in his
temperance leanings, nor do we ex-
pect Reformers to forsake their party
under sin, ilar circumstances.

Local Church Chimes.
Rev Mr Orr preached in Willis
church, on Sunday evening.
Huron Presbytery will meet at
Brucefield on the llth inst.
The Wednesday evening prayer
meetings in tbe . Rattenbury St.
Methodist church are being largely
attended.
Rev James Livingston°: will supply
for Rev J. H. Simpson, in the Bruce -
field Presbyterian church, on the
afternoon of the 30th inst.
It is rumored that as a solution of
the Listowell church difficility, a
change will be effected between the
Methodist people of that place and
Seaforth, provided both are agree-
able. -
THE congregations
of the Ontario
St. Circuit have a union picnic in
Townsend's grove, Tuckersmith, this
Friday afternoon. We are asked to
intimate that arrangements have been
madetoltake out a large number if they
will attend at the church at 1 o'clock.
The fare will be very low. Parties
who contemplate going will please
give their names in at Walker's

The meeting of General Board of
Methodist missions at Winnipeg on
Sept. 11th, will be of more than or-
dinary interest, Among otbr im-
portant questions to come will be the
proposed union of Methodist missions
in Japan. The Indian troubles on
the Pacific coast, and Chinese work
there will demand serious considera-
tion. Dr Sutherland thinks it a
satire on our Christian civilization
that s missionary society should have
to pay a fine of $250 in order to secure
permission for a Chinese Christian
with his family to enter the Domin-
ion fer the purpose of preaching the
Gospel to his fellow countrymen. An.
other important subject will be the
educational work of the church
among the French in the Province of
Quebec. Rev J. E. Howell, of Sea -
forth, will be present to represent
this section. .

THE FIRE LIMIT BY-LAW.
Mr Cooper called attention to the
construction that had been placed on
the Fire Limit by-law, and said that
if it was.detective it should be amend-
ed. But it ought to be either en-
forced or repealed. He quoted the
second clause of the by-law to show
that it was being violated, and while
he did not want to particularize any
building, he thought there should be
some explicit understanding al to
what course the Inspector should
pursue.
The Reeve thought it would be
well to go into the question raised
concerning the by-law. For his own
part he did not think that the addi-
tion to Mr Spooner's hotel met the
intent of the by law.
Deputy -Reeve Manning believed
that part of the by-law was illegal,
that it exceeded the powers of the
corporation, still it was there, and it
was the duty of the Inspector to see.
that it was enforced. What he took
exception to was the fact that the
by-law bore unevenly on the citizens,
as it affected additions to buildings
when the risk was not increased, just
as much as when the risk of fire was
greater. The fire limit had been
formed in 1868, and had never been
changed and he thought it could be
extended with advantage, as it would
reduce the insurance, and this was
an important matter to the people.
Mr Searle stated that only a few
years ago when he wanted to put up
a charcoal' house he had to make it
of brick. He did not blame the
owner so much for a violation of the
fire by-law, in making the addition to
Spooner's hotel, because he believed
that it was done without a knowledge
of the by-law. He thought ht tb
at the
Inspector should make the provisions
of the by-law known to parties before
they really commenced to build arid
•then make them abide by it.
It was moved by Count a for Fo iter
seconded by Councillor Cooper, and
carried, that the
Fire Limit by-law
aw
be referred to the by-law committee
with power to amend it if they see
necessary.•
Council adjourned.
Might be worse.
To the Editor- of the Clinton .New Era.
Sru,••In the County of Huron are two
towns, the one is rich and the other
poor, week after week we hear the hub
trumphet sounded; we are the centre of
attraction. We have two railways,
four telephones, two newspapers, the
best markets to be found in the county,
and what more do we want. The
other town has nothing like that to
boast of, no railways, no telephones, no
newspapers, no world -famed market,
no, no., all we could boast of was a one-
horse 'stage which gave us connections
with the outside world and brought our
letters once a day from all parts of the
globe. It was driven by as good a driv-
er as ever held a line, it ran -on a good
(road (to Seaforth and Brucefield) as
11 ever bore wheels, and was as regular as
the sun, but the rich man from the
watek tower of the hub, coveted our
one-horse stage, (and although it was
well known et the time that we had no
other means of going out and in to the
railway) "no sleep was found for his
eyes, nor slumber for his eyelids" until
this last privilege was taken from us,
and now, sir, youadd finsult to injury
when you tell the world through your

would hav9..been perhaps correct, but
you forget to say that our southern
mail lies over in your town from 7

tell us wby it takes 4 days now to write
tothe city of London and get an an-
swer back, when up to the lst of July
last we could write and get an answer
the same day, You forgot to tell. us
why Herbison has refused to have the

mail carrier (:g ys)'takes all the mail
as usual to" V"^arna and then comes
to Bayfield every night without it, and

main for 12 hout'ff at Varna, six miles
off. 'You forgot to,'.tell us why tite
present stage 'Artier, B„pattje, has
abandoned the new;mail third iilready.
The fact is, sir, tbe mail supply to
this town at present is a disgrace to
every one who had a hand in tho mak-
ingof the arrangement, and
g is unpar•
donable, but, sir, we are not going to
die in diepair, our day is coming, and
may be sooner than you think, when
we can blow our trumphet too, that we
will have a railway is certain now, and
that we have many, very many natural
advantages (which you mu •covet like
our one-horse stage but oaltnot remove)
is an undisputed fact; and that many
of them Will be utilised at no distant
day, we have 'every reason to believe.
Bayfield, Sept., 5th, 1888. Here.
:It is a relief to know that our cor-
respondent sees something g000d in the
Hub, amid so numb seeming evil. Mr
Beattie -,has no ady abandoned the
route 'b3 Turners; and Mr Herbison
has not refused to have the mail bags
come in, es an office will be opened at
his house in a short time. One might
suppose from the foregoing that the
mail matter from Bayfield to London by
evening mall, amounted to It waggon-
load daily, instead of an average of about
two dozen lettere"sreekly. Still,if all the
evils entnpiiined of do exist, we will do
our best to have them reinedied,kee ing
in mind the fact that "as all roads lead
to Rome," so all business gravitates to-
