In 1891 Sir Jean YActiona1 D found the demand for re- ciprocity so strong in the (m.ntry that be announced at the beginning of the election campaign of that year that arrangements had Wien made with the United States Government for the negotiation of • reciprocal trade treaty. The insincerity of the CLnadien Gov- ernment was se evident, however, that no one was surprised when the nego uatioas failed. Then the Government promised re_ form of the taring and in 1894 Mr. neves introduced his revised tariff to the House of Commons. It was in the budget speech of that ear that the Finance Minister admitted the truth of a statement which the Lib. erals had been placing before the elec- tors for years, end which had bean persistently denied by protectionist speakers, viz., that a protective tariff increases the puce not only of those commodities which are imported under a customs duty, but also of those goods which are produced ae home, as toe 'manufacturer extracts all the benefit he can fres a customs duty in w PCmssam.

Mr. FoiTER said : " I say that in the initial years of the Nation al Policy a its a protective principle in it, it will have the effect of enhanc- ing the cost of goods, and that at the first the cost of the goods will be very dot.ely up to the measure of the pro- tection which was given. If it does not have that effect why dbould it ever be adopted at all, and what is the goal of it 1" Mr. Fosree appar- ently had come to the conclusion that it was time some of the infant indus- tries were weaned. and he announced a number of reductions to be made in the tariff ; but the privileged manu- facturers had not been " whacking up" campaign funds all these years for no. tiling. They flocked to Ottawa, and " saw " the Finance Minister, with the result that, while a few reductions were made in the revised tariff, they were offset by increases ; indeed it has been stated that the new tariff is higher than the old one. Now what do they bring before the electors ? Preferential trade within the Empire --a scheme which is un - practicable under the N.P. Josue,' CHAMBERLAIN, the Imperial Colonial Secretary, discuesiag the question, said : " But the priaoiple which 1 claim must be accepted, if we are to make any. even the slightest progress, is that within the differ- ent parts of the empire protection must disappear, and that the duties mast be re- venue duties and not protective duties in the mom of protecting the products of nee part of the empire against thorn of another per-" The National Policy and Preferen- tial Trade cannot live together. It we want Preferential Trade we must give up the N.P.—at least as at pre- sent propou , led ; if we cling to the N.P. we cannot obtain Preferential Trade. Preferential treatment of col- onial products in the British Markets would be a great boon to Canada, es- peeially to the farmers of Canada, and any Government, Conservative or Lib- eral, should do everything in reamers to bring •coat such a change ; ?mut the question is : Can we obtain it under the present Government 1 Are the privileged manufacturers willing to give up the protection against British goods which they now enjoy in order that the manufacturers of Great Bntain may mon readily find • market here for their goods? bid not the Ottawa Government in 1894, when the tariff reform measure was before Parliament, show that they were under the thumb of the mono- polists? ono- polists1 Can we trust them in this matter 1 This is for the electors to decide. `lo much for the record of the Con- servative Government. The Liberal party has always been oppoesd to the policy of high protection, claiming that the incidental protection which accompanies a tariff for revenue pur- AN INCONSISTENT PARTY. FOR a party whose members take it upon themselves to chide the Liberals for inconsistency, the Tory party has a rather cunous record. In 1878 they took up a policy of protection because, says DALTON Mc- CARTH•I, since ALRIASDIIR MACRQ- RtE stuck to a low tariff; there was no- thing left for the Conservatives but protection. Mr. MCCARTny was then one of the prominent men in the Con- servative party, and we have his authority for stating that if the Lib- erals had at that time adopted protec- tion, the Conservative leaden would have taken up free trade as their policy. Ho little faith did the Conser- vatives have in protection that they stated publicly that it was not intend - ell as a permanency, but es • sort of lever to force reciprocal trade arrange- ments from the United States Speak- ing at Charlottetown, P. S. i., on Sep- tember 10th, 1878. Sir CHARLES TUB elm maid: " All that you have to do today is to support the protective National Policy of Stir Jontt MAcrteti- LLD in order to obtain a reciprocity treaty with the United States within two years." Sir CHARLRS has Oyer been a false prophet. For some years, before its evil effects were so apparent as they are now, the miscalled National Policy seemed to be .oenewbat is favor with the people, and with the aid of the gerrymander and the Franchise Act, the protectionist cause appeared t. prosper The party leaders fennel the P.P. to act splendidly in drawing e asepaign contributions fret those d • delight is noMetatiset t►* Liana pWlsem bee trade es they hap It is Emits/ " was their try.

CODERICH BARGAIN CENTRE. This is the way we put you is the stria : By giving you a 1:tue mere and taking a little leas theta anyone else. We are showing Extra Value in TH E folly of granting large subsi- dies' to steamship lines, while at the same time maintaining a protective tar- iff with the express purpose of prevent- ing the vessels, so lir as possible, from getting any cargoes, must he evident to anyone who gives the mat- ter any serious attention. Protection acts as a blight on our shipping inter- ests, while improved transportation fa- cilities fellow, as a matter of course. increased freedom of trade. In this connection some figures given in a re- ceat number of The New York Out- ing may not be uninteresting. Since 1861 (about the time the United States adopted a high protective tar- iff) the tonnage of the American ma- rine fell from nearly 2,500,000 to 982- 000 in,i890. During this period the tonnage of the merchant navy of the British Empire about doubled itself. "Half a century age the whole Brit- ish tonnage did not come to one- fourth of wba' .t is now, while even in 1870 it was the more. than half." The total tonnage of the world is 24,- 569,746, 4,- 569,746, of which the British tonnage is 12,969,951 tons, or more than half. We may add that since 1876 the ton- nage of Canadian vessels has seriously declined. In 1873 we had 1,073,718 tons ; in 1878, 1,333,015 tons ; and on Jensen. 31st, 1893, we had only 964,129 tons. poses is all that anyone has a right to expect. Perhaps we cannot do better than quote from • speech delivered re- cently at Paris by WILLIAM PArrRa- SON, one of the meet clear-headed men in the Liberal Parliamentary party.

In writing up the Waimea interests of the town the Citizens' Committee, who hasc so far done such good work, would, perhaps, use a term and heading as we do today. Although their ef- forts have been, and still are well directed they cannot reach the people throughout the different Townships ad- jacent to Goderich with the .awe degr..'e of success the werchant can. Perhaps the moat disastrious method to the best internists of the town in a business point of view was formulated some yearn ago when several of the merchants adopted a 5 per cent off for cash System. We claim that ' the whole community has been directly or indirectly injured by this short system policy. We believe that the de- crease in the volume of busi- ness done in Goderich can he traced back to within a few weeks from the time this system of doing business was first announcer!. The farmer reasons well when lie does not see his way clear to bring in $10.50 worth of produce and receive $10 worth of goods that 50c. or there- about. is too much to pay for the pleasure of doing business with any storekeep- er. The heads of the house- hold wonder if this 5 per cent. off for cash is a com- pact between the buainees men of the town, and the mischief spreads. General Results : The milk factory gets the dairy products, the little corner store and the house to house canvasser gets the receipts from the barnyard, and the merchant continues to wonder why the grange prospers and to no- tice with what regularity they doe'1 see their old friends and patrons. This is only part of what has resulted in discriminat- ing between Cash and what can be called Staple Farm Products and what can .o easily and in so short time he converted into Cash. Any man in business has a perfect right to manage his affairs as he thinks best ; but where it •contlicta with the interests of the town something should be done to re-establish the trade re- lationship that existed in the past and should be ours in future. One good and effect- ual point will be gained when we announce that two- thirds of the business men of Goderich believe in straight prices to all. They are con- ducting their business as they did when a trade with- in a few miles of Lucknow and Clinton was controlled. The work of restoring confi- dence and bringing about a more friendly feeling is for them. We will commence oper- ations with this end in view on SATURDAY, 6th inst., by payer 15C for tat -Clans BIJTTER l00 for Soled EGGS Take a day off and visit our grand SUMMRR liIIr LINRRY OPTING 011 SATURDAY, 6th instt• when we will give y01 Special Prices in Millinery, and Great Bargains throughout the House.
