FRIDAY. MARCH 17. 1881,
The Local LegislaturewaspronaNedr n
the 10th lest., with the usual ceremon-
ies.
Cut. Real WAS never so strong in
West Huron as he is at present. Ad-
vices from trustw rtl.y sources lead us
to believe that hir glorious majority of
over 400 ut the last election will be in-
creased by another hundred, should any
person be found foolhardy enough to op-
pose hits. To force a contest its such a
constituency, is to put the country to an
unnecessary expense. But the enemies
of Provincial rights are bound to "let.uo
Grit be returned by acclamation."
AcrrAL settlement in Manitoba has
been seriously checked by the action of
the Government. The resident corres-
pondent of the Toronto World says:
The governmet-t are doing much to dis-
courage actual settlement. The plea is:
"There is no cash on hand. If we sell
to speculators we get some money, $1 or
$2 per acre. If we ]et a homesteader
take the land we only get $10 from each,
which does not pay for the agent and the
expenses" Hence the colonization
schemes. Monstrous is it ! Aye, more
than monstrous. It is worse than high
treason.
IT is not generally known that Mr.
Plumb, the superloyal member for
Niaga s, is an importation from the
United States. He was at one time a
howling Democrat in New York state,
and the British lion has often been
Jared and threatened by him in his 4th
of Jely orations When Mr. Plumb got
through with one of his Independence
Day speeches, he had so flaunted the
American eagle that the bird of freedom
had 'scarcely a pin feather Lett on its
poor bones. Leaving his own country
hastily, after some business difficulties,
Mr. Plumb settled,in Canada, and now
has the effrontery to, impugn the loyalty
..f the Reformers cf this Province.
Tus Stratford -Beacon flays the London
Free Press in the following style: "In
an article on the Reform leader the Lon-
don Free Press is pleased to say t
Mackenzie is "personally uprigyb-"
everybody in the Dominion knows and
knew for many years, but will the .Free
Press nay why it charged this "person-
ally upright" man with corruption during
the entire five years that he was in pow-
er 1 Does the Free Press remember the
steel rails and a scorn • f other slanders ?
Would our neighbor have the goodness
to look over its files from '73 to '78 and
see how many of its issues during that
• time are without 'dale charge against
this "personally upright" man ? Even
the Nee Prus might admit that charging
a "personally upright" man with cor-
ruption for five years simply because he
is in power is not it respectable kind of
political warfare."
IT aAN been stated often that Sir
"Onderdonk" Tupper is anxious to run
for a constituency in Ontario, so that in
the event of Sir John retiring into pri-
vate life, he would have a controlling in-
fluence of die Western vote, as an offset
to Sir Hector Langevin's influence in the
East. The opportunity now offers. Dr.
Coleman, the glucose candidate in Cen-
tre Huron, has just returned from Ot-
tawa, and despite the fact that he is the
nominee of the Tory convention, he has
already expressed his variance with the
Government policy on the Boundary
Award, on the disallowance of provin-
cial legislation, and on the Syndicate
bargain, and as being only partly with
Sir Leonard Tilley on the N. P.
Resolutions endorsing the Dominion
Government's policy nn all these ques-
tions were unanimously approved of at
he Tory convention which Dominated
Dr. Coleman, and he at the time was in
ancon with the ,pint 1,1 the resolutions.
But the new light has broken in upon
him, and his periodic attack of (;mise,
appears to be coming on. At the time of
writing, by his own admission, his or..-
ponent parts are: Reform, 7; Tory, 1.
This being the case, it is quite pxoeeible
the redoubtable doctor will resign hie
position, as Tory candidate, and thus
leave an opening in Centre Huron for a
candidate staunch and true in Tory doc-
trine. Here lies the opportunity for Sir
"Onderdonk" Tupper, and we respect-
fully invite the great stretcher to Centre
Heron, to ted the popular feeling on the
questions of the day with his rival, Sir
Richard Cartwright His candidature
wouldn't be good for even •'twn days
only •
THE REFORM NOMINM
The unanimous and enthuai trflc none
illation of Sir Richard Cartwright at the
Convention held at Sesforth on Fat urday
last, will be another thorn in the side of
the Tury party. For some tirne lost,
the attention of the Tory scrums had
been devoted to the task of endeavoring
to prove that the member for\ Centre
Huron should be relegated to' private
life, and the action of the Refottiw • COD.
vention in requesting him to be again
their standard bearer is a fitting rebuke
to their impudent attempts to dictate.
When the Reform party of Canada, or
the jtneed
eforniers of Centre Huron
advi e, they will not be constrained to
seek it from the editor of the Mail or
from the inferior satellites of the Tory
party that shape their course from tt.e
action of the "great luminary."
If Sir Richard Cartwright be the source
of weakness to the /teem party, that
our Tory friends would have the county
believe, why do they not encourage the
Reformers to take him to their bosom,
so that the evil day of Grit dissolution
may be hastened 1 Fortunately the Re-
formers are not to be caught with chaff,
and the would-be mentors from Tory-
dom, have been' notified from Centre
Huron that their invitation to "walk
into our parlor" has been disregarded
once and forever.
Even Sir "Onderdonk" Tupper had
taken an interest in Centre Huron pre-
vious to the nomination, and had gene
so far as to prophesy that Sir Richard
would not be again renominated in the
Riding which he at present represents.
The great "high priest of corruption" as
usual, spoke without his facts, and the
failure of his prediction in this respect,
augurs badly for the fulfilment of his
utterances regarding the result of the
next general election.
Sir Richard Cartwright has cause to
feel just pride at his selection by the
Reform convention of Centre Huron.
In few constituencies are there so many
able local men as in the Centre Riding;
and when it is considered that the
yuestionofdeciding who was to be the nom-
ineedid not goto the ballot, there isgreat
cause for satisfaction on the part of Sir
Richard and his friends, as the fact
goes far to show the high appreciation
the Reformers of Centre Huron have of
the ability, parliamentary experience,
honor, and integrity of their present
member.. With the exception of Messrs.
Blake and Mackenzie, no other outrider
could have received the nomination
which eats so unanimously tendered the
ex -Finance Minister. on Saturday Wt,
and this fact ought to terry more weight
in the discussion of the question of Sir
Richard's popularity, than all the blatant
assertions on the part of hired Tory
orators and scribes.
.$O UA'D TO THE CORE. -
The Tories hare of Into been laying
the flattering unction to their souls that
C popularity of Sir Richard Cartwright
n'Itre Huron was on the wane, but
the action of the Reform Convention at
Seaforth on Saturday, and the enthusi-
asm manifested when the nomination of
the ex -Finance Minister was an accom-
plished fact, gave unmistakeable evi-
dence that the heart of the Riding still
warmed to the sitting member. The
Convention was composed of the finest
body of teen we have ever seen its con-
vention assembled, and comprised old
veterans who had for fifty years fought
the battles of Reform, as well as young
and middle aged mens full of ardor and
full of work To look upon the splen-
did representation from the municipali-
ties was sufficient to satisfy any one pres-
ent, that victory was certain for Reform
in the Riding, and the only question
that could possibly be was with regard
to majorities Tuckersmith was led by
Walker, glorious old Grey was mar-
shalled by Strachan, Hullett boldly fol-
lowed McMillan, Colborne was at the
back of Young, McKillop had twenty-
eight delegates led by Pollard and Kerr,
and Goderich, Seaforth and Brussels had
full representations. Good men and
true were there,—men who had worked
hard and well for Reform in the past,
and whose past record was an earnest of
good work in the future. The Tories
have been whistling to keep their cour-
age up, end have asserted that Centre
Huron would be theirs at the next elec-
tion, but had Dr. Coleman had a chance
to gaze on the Reform Convention on
Sstur lay lad, he would have been not a
bad counterpart of the famous flub
Acres. Yet, while there is no fear for
Centre Hume as • Reform constituency,
no effort should lie abated to pile up
majorities in every municipality Sir
R.thard Cartwright is today a stronger
candidate than he was in 1878, for his
public character, and pnvats integrity
AM Netter understood and appreciated
than they were when he was first ten
dered the nomination for our Riding.
The members of the Governmewt of the
day, by their railway policy, their re-
fusal to ratify the boundary award, their
dusllowanee of provincial legislation,
their corruption, their upholding of the
Minister of Railways whn "ender -
dunked" the Dominion out of over
$990,000, and other questionable seta,
have blackened their previously be-
smirched reputations beyond all chants*
of cleansing. and have forfeited the re-
spect and oouutenance of all right-minded
electors.For these reasons nothing
should be Tutt uuduue to raise the Re•
forst majority to the highest figure its
every polling subdivisi ii its the Riding.
Besides, it is believed by slimly that al-
ready Dr. Coleman Luls his position to
be a hopeless (tile, and that representa-
tions have beep made to Sir John to
gerrymander the County, by piecing
Tuckeruuith in the South Riding, and
transferring l:oderich township to the
Centre. We are riot certain whether the
Chieftain will hearken to the advice in
this nutter. Certain it is, that his first
gerrymandering of Huron did not turn
out as he anticipated, and there is just a
possiIility that a second attempt will
snake the last state of the Tory party in
Huron worse than the first Reform is
sure of Centre and South Huron no
smatter how SirJohncarves them up, and
North Huron can also be redeemed, if
proper work be done.
A FARMER I-V PARLIAMENT.
Mr. Irvine, the Liberal farrier, who
recently redeemed Carlutou from the
Tories, spoke last week on the Budget,
in the House of Commons. His sensi-
ble words should be carefully read by
his fellow farmers.
Mr. Irvine, who was received with
applause, regretted that he could not
follow hon. gentlemen opposite in some
of their arithmetical calculations. As s
practical farmer he was one of the num-
ber whom the National Policy was sup-
posed to have made rich, and on this
subject he thought he could give practi-
cal testimony of much greater value than
much of the theorizing that had been in-
dulged in during the debate. He re-
ferred to the cry of disloyalty raised lay
hon. gentlemen opposite against their
opponents who failed to accept all their.
ase -coloured pictures of the effect of
the National Policy. This disloyalty
cry had not been heard in the Maritibte
Provinces for many years until the N.
P. was brought into existence. When
gentlemen. opposite found themselves
turned out in disgrace for their wrong-
doing they started a scheme which they
said would snake everybody rich, and
now that that scheme had floated them
intc power they ascribed the prosperity
which had conte naturally to the country
to that so-called policy. The highest
prices we as farmers had ever received
was in 1864, just after the declaration of
war by Britain against Russia. Again
when there was war in the United States
prices went up, so that farmers had seen
prosperous days long before the Nation-
al Policy was heard of. At present, he
was bound to say that owing to a revival
of the lumber industry every man in
this country who wished to work was
employed at good wages. He,hal never
known manufacturers in New Bruns-
wick to fail. Two founders in the shire
town of his own county who had started
with nothing were reputed to be wealthy,
but each had told hint (Mr. • Irvine) that
they could do better under the old tariff
than they could, under the present.
The desire of those who supported a
revenue tariff was to encourage manu-
facturers as much as possible, mainly by
allowing; their raw material to come in
free. The returns showed that the man-
ufacturer had a better showing in 1878
than in 1881, but the manufacturer was
even in a better position than the farm-
er, who was weighted down with onerous
burdens inflicted by the N. P. Not an
implement was used by a farmer that
did not cost more than the tax placed
upon the raw material which entered
into its manufacture. Never before was
there a duty placed upon raw material
entering into the manufacture of farming
implements, except a trifling duty on
some classes of iron. He contended that
it was unfair to select any one industrial
class and protect them against all others
To the farmer was largely due the pres-
ent advanced condition of the country,
yet they were not invited to the counsels
of the nation when an important change
in the fiscal policy was contemplated.
He taxed the Goveornment with having
largely increased the duties under cover
of a readjustment of the tariff, and un-
der the promise that the duties would
not be increased. The Canadian Gov-
ernment said to their citizens that they
must take their produce to England for
a market, and bring the money hack in
their pockets end purchase their neces-
saries at home, instead of having the
option of purchasing abroad. He de-
nounced the Government for the manner
in which they had framod the fiscal pol-
icy to the prejudice of the farmer. On
the question of cottons he had no hesi-
tation in saying that since the introduc-
tion of the National Policy more cotton
was smuggled into this country than was
regularly imported In his own county
Loo, cotton warp sold 30 per ant. higher
than it could be purchased at a distance
of four miles across the border in the
State of Maine. He thought it would
be as well to remit the duty on flour,and
permit vessels engaged in the coasting
trade to bring return loads from Boston
and other American ports, and concluded
by charging the Minister of Finance with
having been unfaithful to his promises.

NOMINATING CANDIDATES.
The work of organization concluded,
nominations were trade. , Some twelve
gentlemen were nominated as candidates,
but each in his turn retired in fai'our
of Sir Richard Cartwright, the sitting
member. Sir Richard's nomination was
then made unanimous by a standing
vote, which was given amidst cheers.
Sir Richard Cartwright, who was
present, in accepting, the nomination
thanked the Convention for their re-
newal of confidence, and while admit-
ting he had no claim upon the riding,
expressed his determination to starve
the Reform party more faithfully if pos-
sible in the future than he had in the
past.
kIMOLCTI('Nu OF CONFIDENCE.
The following resolution, were then
carried by standing votes and cheers:
Moved by Thns.Strachan, Esq., Reeve
of Grey, seconded by Geo. Walker, Esq.,
of Tuckersmith: ',That we, as a Conven-
tion. hereby endorse the course pursued
by the Hon. Oliver Mowat and his col-
leagues in the Local Parliament, and we
further pledge ourselves to support them
in every legitimate manner in the com-
ing election.
Moved by Wm. Young, Eel , Reeve
of Culb,rne,secone:ed by Thos. Moon Esq
of Hullett: That this convention desires
to record its hearty sympathy with an
appreciation 1.1 the labors of the Oppos-
ition in the House of Commons, and to
declare its hearty approval of the course
pursed by the Hon Edward Bike and
the leaden of the Reform party in that
House.

and although the hall is the largest in
Owen., outside of the cities, it was
crowned to the ("eon Mr. Humphrey

Mr Richard Cartwright, ..n eoming

devise. (Laughter and cheers) The
fiscal policy was then entered upon at
some length and a number of its falla-
cious parts exposed in a trenchant
manner. There were also'other broad
fscta that testified in Mackenzie's favor
stronger than mere words- When he
entered office he succeeded men who had
raised our annual expenses in seven
years fully $10,000,000. He discharged
the heavy liabilities which he inherited
from his predecessors, and at the end of
five years had only increased the annual
expenditure by some $200,000, while
the sinking fund of the country had
been greately increased. If the ()tatter
was carefully looked into mud due allow-
ance make for the unproved condition of
the sinking fund it would be found that
the Mackenzie Government had actually
administered the affairs of the country
fully $2:,0,000 cheaper than their prede-
cessors. The Finance Minister now sek-
esd for $27,305,456 fur the annual • ex-
penditnre, together with $450,000 for
Dominion lauds, which had previously
been charged to capital account. Here
was an increase from $23, 500,000. But
that was not all. The members of the
pruritic Government were old Ministers
and knew what they were talking about
when they attacked Mr. Mackenzie with
being extravagant. Sir Leonard Tilley
said the (.oderniuent -of Canada could
be carried on etb..ently with $22,51'0,-
000 annually, and now he wanted nearly
$'28,000,000 to du the work that he
wi hed the Reform Government -to car-
ry on for the lesser amount. (Ap-
plause.) The Government boasted
greatly of its surplus, but it was not ob-
tained by a fair tariff, for the N. P. dis-
crimirtated unfairly against the majority
and in favor of the few. At the present
moment the great mass ot the people
were made to pay very unequal duties.
Recently in the House he had called the
attention of the Finance Minister to the.
unfair specific duties which made not'
the cheaper the cottons or woolens the
lighter the tax, but rice versa . This was
grossly unjust, but although the N. P.
advocates were forced to admit the mani
fest unfairness of the tariff to the work-
ing classes, they tried to put in an offset
by boasting of the "tail chimneys"
(Laughter.) Sir Leonard Tilley had
recently,in an unlucky moment fur him-
self, given a Mit of alleged factories
which had befen started since the
N. P. carie in force, but the hon.. gen-
tleman, although he claimed all the
credit for starting the institutions enu-
merated in his list, took no blame to
himself or his N. P. for the establish-
ments which had succumbed during the
past three years. Hear, hear. In the
list there were litany institutions which
had removedfrom small towns and vil-
lager' to large cities possessed ..f increas-
ed railway accommodation. The cities
were doubtless helloed, but the smaller
places were injured. Nearly a third of
the employees given by the Finance
Minister's new list were said to be its
Montreal,one-fourth in Toronto, and the
remainder its other large places where
manufactories had exiated long anterior
to the introduction of the N. P.; but
how many artizans or skilled worktfian
had been brought to Seaforth, Gods -
rich, Clinton, Brussels, and the 101
other places throughout the country of
which his hearers could speak from per-
sonal, knowledge 1 The farming com-
munity had been greatly injured by the
werking of the protective tariff. No
good had accrued to the agriculturists.
In the years under the revenue tariff
the Canadian markets had ruled rather
better than the markets across the line.
This had been reversed, and now Ameri-
can market prices ruled far higher than
Canadian. The N. P. orators and jour-
nals had promised the farmers better
prices, but the promises had not been
fulfilled, notwithstanding the fact that
the cost of sugar, wearing apparel, glass,
and almost everything the farmers cod-
sumed was materially dearer than it
would be were the old revenue tariff in
force. There wan only one way for the
Government to aid the farming comma
nity, and that was by granting a bounty
similar to that which was now held as a
bait to the fishermen oftheMaritame Pro-
vinces (Hear, hear. Rut even then
they would be no better off than if no
