THE Government press is publishing factory - made campaign literature which affords about as fine samples of the art of misrepresentation as one could wish to see. To illustrate this remark, we shall take just one pavgraph from one of these ready made productions which appeared in The Star last week. It is re follows " customs is 1875 wore $3 96 per bead ; in 1896, $3 47 or 48 cents per bead lees." To get this result, the maoipulwtor of figures has taken the year of the highest customs taxation in the rev. *nue tariff period, a year in which there was a surplus of $935,000, and has compared it with a year in which the revenue failed to meet the expend- iture by over $4,000,000. It would be evinally fair to call attention to the figures for the year 1889, in which, ander the protective tariff, customs taxation was over $5.00 per head, and compare it with the year 1878, under a revenue tariff, with customs taxa- tion of $3.13 per head. A fair way to compare the revenue tariff and the protection periods is to strike an average ; and, doing so, what de we End 1 1■ the four year i 875- 78. 75- 78, under a revenue tariff, the average annual customs taxation per head was $3.37. in the sixteen years 1880-95, under a protective tariff, the average annual curtains taxation per head was $4.42. $1 05 per head Is ender a revenge tariff than wader protection. This shows • substantial difference In fever of the MactaNsre regime, withe.t taking into •oeoant the eimor- idaeea amount wklub has come out of the pocket' of the people and gone in- to the pockets of the protected manu- facturers. There are still some pro- tectionists who will argue that a cus- toms duty does not increase the prior of the article protected, and thereby put stoney into the pocket of the mensftu turrr, sad for the benefit of these we will again quote the utter- ance of Finance Minister Pintas in the budget speech of 1894 . "1 Sy that in the laletal year ef tba Nalleml Poli., with • peoteetive pria.iple u it that it win have the.E.ot of .nhaa.in( ✓ S oast of the goad., sod that at the (int the coot of the Seeds will bo very closely ep to the ms.se e1 the p.eteous* wbtoh wee Rhea If it dee. not have that "Coot why S eel* it ever be adopted at all, and what e the good el it !" And the dismal howl that is going up from Government stomper' and newspapers that " the manufacturers would be swamped without the Na. tional Policy " is • practical acknow- ledgment that the people still have to py atorI than they should for the manufactured articles which they buy. We have de '• with only one of the pieces of misrepresentation in which these Government productions abound. it would keep a man with six pairs of hands and eyes busy forty hours a day and seventeen days in the week to keep track of all the miarepre.r•• Lo- tions which TUPPER and his followers indulge in. THEY PREACH " BLUE RUIN." LAST week The Star published a letter from the pen of our townsman, E. HEATON, which appeared in a re- cent number of The Week. In glanc- ing over Mr. HaaToN's complaints as to the overcrowding of the professions, we came upon the following : " supposing the olev.r young C.asdia° dos not go to the United States.

If THE SIGNAL should venture to paint such a picture of Canadian life, we .hong be pelted with cr es 'rtI1king b10e ruin, " running down the country, "treason," etc., etc., etc. But when good Tories like Mr. Heaton and the editor of The Star do it -oh, well, it's different. The N. P. evidently has not made that young physician rich. afraid our friends the enemy have been working it rather hard lately.

CHANCELLOR BURWASH'S OPIN- IONS THE G•vernment papers are pub- lishing an interview purporting to have been given to a Mail and Em- pire reporter by Chancellor Burwash, of Victoria Universitv,Toronto. Here are the reverend gentleman's views on the matter : " My opinions on the importance and n eoe.eity of moral and rliriam elemsets is eduo.tis are well known, but 1 regard the gone is Manitobe s implying far more than this queens. I do •011 tbiak the people of Manitoba an disposed to deny the rights of oo'soi.sos to any religions body, and I ba !love teat the rights of the Roman Cathoh. mi ,city are perfectly este in the hands of the people el the provisos.

In writing up the business interest. of the town the Citizens' Committee, who have 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 Ooderfch with the name degree of success the merchant can. Perhaps the most disa.trioua method to the best interests of the town in a business point of view was formulated some years ago when several of the merchants adopted a 5 per cent. off for lash System. We claim that the whole community has ' .en directly or indirectly in,, .red by this short sighted policy. We believe that the de- crease in the volume of busi- ness done in Ooderich can be traced back to within a few weeks from the time this system of (going business was first announced. Tho farmer reasons well when he does notsee his way clear to bring in $10.50 worth of produce and receive $10 worth of goods that 50c. or there- abouts 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 business men of the town, and the mischiefa General Reen!ts : e 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 they don't see tis tl- friends and patrons. This is only part of what has resulted in discriminat- ing between Cash and what can be called Staple Farm Products Ind what can so easily and in so short time be converted into Gish. Any man in business ham a perfect right to manage his affairs as he thinks best ; but where it conflicts 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 Ooderich believe in straight prices to all. They are con- ducting their business as they did when a trade with- in • few mild of Lucknow and Clinton was controlled. The work of restoring confi- dence and bringing about a more friendly feeling is for them. We will continue oper- ations with this end in view on SATURDAY, 13th inst., by paying 150 for 1st -Clays BUTTEB 100 for Select EGGS. Take a day off and visit OUR GREAT JUNE BALE.
