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 -,n( e. 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 Toronto News says :- " If ministers would pay their footing like other people, including taxes and full railway rates, they would be more • independent, and could do more effec- tive work." oar, coteal lli right so far as paying taxes is concerned, but wrdng in refe- rence le railway fares, for ministers get no favors from railway oempanies that are not enjoyed by oth&r members of the community. ' The (dobe gives IIuron County Coen. it more credit than it, is entitled to. 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- cause. while the people will get their 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 their editorial columns. 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,' etc. Mr Pardee undoubtedly deserves all the conplimeute paid Itim, .but the amusing part of it is th1),t no paper has more violently assailed Mc Pardee in the past than the same Free Press, Ilepentanee,howevor,ia never too late.

Ile mode 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 grocery. 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. .

Cuuncillor Walker moved that a street lamp be placed at the corner of Ontario and Kirk streets. Referred to the street committee. 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.

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 Paper that we get our mails -21 hours earlier than we have done for 12 years. Had you said "part of our mails," you would hav9..been perhaps correct, but you forget to say that our southern mail lies over in your town from 7 o'elook p.m. the one day to 6 p. m. the other, bdfore we get it. 'You forgot to 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 left at his house, and why the old mail carrier (:g ys)'takes all the mail as usual to" V"^arna and then comes to Bayfield every night without it, and any letters that may be there for us re- 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- wards the hub. -Ed.

Bntcher,ofToron• ro• to official stenographer ho - p r of the British Columbia arbitration rode most of the way throughtho liock- ies on tho cowcatcher of the en- gine, and had a chilling experience ono night when the train,not mak- ing an expected stop, ho was com- pelled tos tay there till two o'clock in the morning. Two married women of Blen- heim ono day rocoutly drove to the point in a buggy to enjoy a bath. Placing their wearing ap- pared in the vehicle, in Mother Eve's first costume they breasted the waves of Lake Erie. Their- splashing heinsplashing alarmed the horse and it made off with their dry goods and like two mermaids they waited for anhour withtheir heads only above water until a passer by informed their husbands of their where- abouts.. Tho , heroines of this adventure move in the most select society. Mr D. A. Whyte, one• of the well-known Whyte brothers, gos- pel vocalists,has met with a severe Ioss in the destr*tion by firelof his season's cut of lumber, some forty, thousand fent '(valued at $100. Ho had purchased ..a small limit in Burford Township, a few miles from Pairs, and had just removed his stuff from the mill to an open field, so as to obviate danger from fire. The case is clearly ono of incentliarism. • - On Wednesday Merrit Morey, of Fullortou,was arraigned at the Stratford Police Curt and fined $100 for making love to Minnie' Grutchfield, who is 14 years of ago and ;resides with her parents in this city. Morey walked home with the little girl from his place on the night of Aug, 4, and 'the girl's evidence tells what happen- ed. She said : "He came out and walked with me till wo got to Mr Moore's place. Ho then took my mkissed mo hold ofal and sse , said he loved me and asked mo if I would nit be his girl. HIe per- sisted in going with me. IIe made improper proposals.” His Worship 41 reprimanded Morey severely and remarked that had ho been a younger man ho would order the lash to bo applied. Ho then fined the accuse $100, in- cluding costs. Sale Register. FntrAv SEPT, 7. -Farm stock,, etc., of Mr James Tremier, lot 20., con, 9 Ha - lett. J. Howson, auctioneer.
