Ora Tory friends, in years gore by,
when they were in the sold shades of Op-

the " fie -on -the -wheel " policy of Cart-

the inability of the Mackenzie Govern-
ment to so legislate that our young men
would not be constrained to leave the
country. When the facts did not war-

ing 1878, thought it was disloyal to at-
tempt to show that Canada war Poing to

that what had once baso the pnacilal
town of Ontario gradually declined, and
we well remember seeing grass groentg
on Priam.. street,the principal thorough-
fare. In these days the grinders and
greasers were •a numerous in K:mgeton,
es they are in Goderich tsetse ; and
venomous shafts were weekly directed
against the app.»otly d.•:liuing city by
.csrriloua little prints in the neigh-
boring hamlet&
This kind of thin,; lasted for years,
until many of t1m local croakers diad off,
and the attacks of the outside revilers
became uabearable. Theo the young
blood of the city rose up ; enquiries
were made as to the best method of
removing the stagnation wbiah had fallen
like • pall over the city ; and a railway
o•mp•ien was inaugurated.
The Kingston & Pembroke Railway
was incepted ; a nee section of country
was opened up that oould be worked in
