Editor Rews Record, Dear Sir,—Since I last addressed you some light has been thrown on the source of Grit lying .as to tho pro ceedings in tho North-'We'st, and the - tr-uth of the allegation made that one of the Prince Albert Jacksons,' or iginally from Wingham in this county, was the private correspond- "ent of the Globe and other Grit journals, and 'labored to foment the late rebellion and damage the1 Gov ernment of the Dominion by bare faced mendacity. On the late trial of the rebel leader, Thomas H. Jack- son, describing himself as a druggist from Prince Albert, was called as a witness. This man is a brother of Riel's provincial secretary, who was generally supposed to have been the Globe correspondent, but this was not so. We have now got the Simon Pure, in the person x>f this witness, vyho thus tells his tale of the rebel-1 lion : “I’had known of the agitation some time ago, and sympathised with it. Shortly after the Duck Lake’ fight I was one of the parties who went on the scene to remove the bodies of the slain. * ’* We took our; orders from Riel at Duck Lake. *,.. *• Risl asked me to write some letters to certain, eastern papers placing him in good lig;ht. Riel had applied to the Government Jor thirty five thousand dollars for losses. His wfiole bill bgainst Vie Government amounted to one hundred thousand dol lars." He then identified and proved Riel’s letters to Major Crozier -de-< • tnanding his surrender, and also JUel's letter to- the Metis at Battlefd’rd calling on them to'incite the Indians terrise, arid plunder. I have.not seen this evidence as to the identity of tlie . ’Globe's. private correspondent noticed by any journal) .1.0. L. No. 710, CJCUNTOIN,- 2L_ Meets srcoho MoxnAr of every Tfl-month.

' The result was that in four months subsequently tbe stock for 914 thus entailing an actual loss of about 5 per cent, or $1,250,000. At that time Australian 4 pqr cents, were selling at 98 and that Bhonld have guided him. But this is not the last of the Heaven-born financier Sir. R. Carts wright. In 1875 he tried his hand again on a guaranteed loan of about twelve millions on which he was equally successful in increasing our debt, the discount and charges there on being in or about f320,000. In 1876 he triod his hand again on an other loan of 312,000,000 unguar anteed, on which the discount and charges amounted to $1,350,000. _Hpjie_lhen Cartwright's logns iporeas- ed our debt by forty-three million dollars principal and $2,870,000 fdr costs and charges thereon during four years of Grit rule,, » To cap tbe climax of our woes Cart wright added 2| per cent, duty on imports, thus increasing thOyCSSl^1.^ over three millions more, annually, ary eqpm round to the protectionist but even this did not equalize income • .... and expenditure, and as the grand finale of his financiering when the Grits .were kicked out ih October 1878 there was a Canadian indebted ness maturing and payable on 1st January following Which amounted to the large sum of.$7,528,733 besides in terest on maturing liabilities. For this no provision, wliatever u'a^made by the Mackenzie Ministry. It was a legacy of deficits left to their successors which added to the debt of the Dominion so much which the succeed ing Government of Sir John Macdon ald had to provide for at once. ■ But whafbecameofall the money? Where did it gb ? . Who got it? Thereby hangs ft tale. We can only, tell it in part, and what we can tell is instructive. The Grits supporters were voracious? The Canada Pacific Railway, was to be built with tele graph lines along its route when finally fixed. ’Rails were to be provided. The route was to be part rail and .part river. The magnificent' water stretches were tojb^utilised, and ac cording to the viewS of these Grit solons al! thia outlay was to be made on a route that would be sealed by, ice and unavailable tor six months of the v year 11' But there was “money, in iu’, for Grit friends, ap'd the migration of .speculators into Manitoba'and the North West country,which took place on their accession to .office, was enormous., ‘ Who were the lucky ones,'?'' ‘ \ • ■ . • '.■ An early indication of “what was up” was given by,Biake’s letter of in troductioii to Mackenzie ' of Ins- “friend Moore” which resulted in the Gbderich harbor job, butas tlHB coun ty derives some small benefit from it, and it is a comparatively small affim1' I will let .it pass. Others also saw ahead, and, in anticipation'of chances, Oliver Davidson & Co., of Ingersoll, had acquired title on ten thousand —’qHoLarid^H)- thing like the quantity of produce we oqgbt to in order to make our accounts balance, that would have bpen a forcible indictment Of the government policy,/or the design of protection is not i keep ds from sup- plying the demands <f other nations but to limit the exlent to which we are dependent on their production. If the Globe' had shown that the increase in exportations was due to a decreased home market for the classes of articles exported the article would have been less ridicul ous. 1 But that would Ifa" impossible,1 for whatever the N. P, may have failedflo do it certainly has not re sulted in decreasing the population. So long as the heeds of tbe country are supplied the more we export the better.—-The-fact -thatpurexports - to the United States have to pay duty at the frontier is a drawback to our prosperity, but our govern ment is not to blame for that except ing so far as they neglect Qpportun- fpr/securing reciprocity,’ But Onr free trade conteriipor- ’ - ■ ’ * J view that it is’ the producer and not the,consumer who pays the tax ? JJt is no wonder that the Grits have been so unsuccessful in making converts on tbe fariflLquestion-wben their chief organ in all earnestness ■ ■puts forth such arrant twaddle as the above extract. It even furnishes its opponents with one of the best argu ments they could desire. A. Tory . stump speaker in an agricultural community would want no better ammunition than tho facts set forth by the Globe, coupled with its ad mission that the increase is due to the N. P. It is. enough to make rural converts to protection by the thousand,. . ' z te-r-a< THE WEEK’S DOINGS. .-• CANADA IN. /• ,’:.. The three-year o’d daughter’ of Edward Collar, of .

Win. Aikens, the Thorndale hotel Globe and the other eastern journals, the Era included, on the 'source of the early information given through their columns from time to time, ami the sympathetic cord which it awakened in their editorial breasts, linking them with traitors and treason and promoting such by their en couragement. L^JIayiiig—disposed of thia bit .of evidence, I will now! resume my -ex- ■ pose of the mun.dacity of the Grit sheets, and. endorsed by the Era, in < standing and position of the Domin ion . . In my last .1 dealt with the figures given by the Era fts $he alleged debt of the Dominion on”lst May 1885- which is stated at $258;711,088, and I think I have shown to some extent how ; that arose, .and even- beyond those figufes, as a necessary addition .arising from Con fed eration^-the ex pansion of the country—the erection of Public Works, tBailwayAAnAD^JiU. als, Navigation and otherwise, and I drew attention .to. thq. ^admitted fact that in the .five years/of Grit rule’ under the paternal* care'of Mac kenzie Blake and Cartwright & Cd, the debt was‘increased by $33,833,- 113.' ’But this' was not tbe whole in crease during the Grit rule. - When they came into' power they foumd a . surplus of $935,700; income over ex penditure left by the outgoing Mac donald Ministry. ' The career of so called reforfii at once began, and a large increase of the costs of the .public service was the.result. This was attained by superannuating, as they called it, old public servants on a retiring pension, and- ^Opening patronageto thettiselves, but for jgyery Old • servant discharged and- every dollar of salary thus- reduced, two or more new appointments 101- “lo wed/anS'mbre hands atffi'Increased' total of salaries, of course took their .place, and hungry-Grits were provid ed for. So successfully was this carried out that the expenditure exceeded the income in 1875-6*7 apd 8 to the extent of $4,488/70011 •' But this waB-not all. Their finan cial policy Was fast bringing ruin to our trade. In thd1 last year preced ing Grit rule, the total Volume of our . trade was $217,300,000, and when the indignant electors turned thenar out in 1868 it had dwindled down to .$170,400,000, thtfs giving a decrease of trade of $46,800,0j0, in four years, or nearly twelve millions annually, The independence and annexation principles of Sir R. Cartwright and Mr. Blake, were also developed ih the tendency Of their policy lo out off trade With Great Britain, and cherish it with the United States. Here is the measure of their success r In tho year 1873 the im ports from ’ Groat Britain amounted,to $68,500,000 In 1878 they were only 37,060,000 Being a decrease in that lime of..........$31,500,000 Our trade with the United Stntesi was enooufagod and shewed ft differ ent picture during same years- In t&e year 1873 our imports therefrom were.,,..,,.447,700,000 Arid for the years of Grit rule they averaged yearly...................... 50,220,000. But Canadian trade and commerce was still op a down grade, Then again to mo.et the deficiency of in come, and the necessary expenditure Oh Public Works, Sir Richard Cart* wright borrows in 1874 $19,500,000 to add to onr debt, and in doing so ho swells it by the cost of loan. And how did he do this. Hb went to London 40 put the loan on the English market, and exhibit there the silver Act for the construction of the Can ada Pacific Railway provided that as soon as the line was. finally located a telegraph line was to be constructed along the route, and from Nepigon on Lake Superior lo Fort Garry; thence, to Fort Pelly, Battlefoid, Prince Albert, Edmonton and on to Lac La Hache in British Columbfa contracts for tlie construction of over’ 25C0 miles of telegraph line1 were ad- vertised for, and’contracts~entered“ ■into and construction began, before the line was any. where located, and this in defiance/of,th'e statute.

They were, all good Grits and it was of little matter7' that the lfrre of railway as finally located and constructed is a couple of hundred miles to the Bouth of thb telegraph' wires there is no doubt it was a very useful expenditure i‘/br thepairty." ■-^jrhen“there“’wa8^.thatr“"celebratedJ" building “The Neebing Hotel! near _Princfi.

This is the way it'pricks the Globe-. The' Globe's articles^bavp beep re markably stupid of late, but the climax of absurdity is'Yeached by an editorial published in Friday’s paper, deploring the extent of our foreign trade in cattle and lioirses, and mak* ling this a cause of complaint against the N. P. The Globe says.: “Turning to the trade returns of 1878, before the Ni P. came in, we find that, in that year, we were com pelled to s^nd to the United States, £or want of a better market, only 13,109 head of cattle valued at $265,508. That is, under .the tost*, jaiing influence of the N. P,, our home market has gro.wn Rt such a terrific rate that wo now have to '“send twice as, many cattle to the States as we serit when we welre liv ing under a low tariff. And where we sent $455,780 worth of horses to the United States in 1878, paying 20 per cent, duty thereon, wo now send $809,863 worth,paying tjiesame rate of duty,” Was thereover any greater idiooy manifested in a paper of tho pretbno sions of the Globe ? The more horses and cattle ahd other produce we send abroad the more money u^o receive to pay onr debts, If ti e Globe had pointed out that 6ur iim tunate man Johnston on the night, that he was killed on the track, .lias been arrested for.selling liquor after- hours? As Johnston left a wife and family it isquite possible that Aikens may be compelled to support them. The: Governor General conveyed to Hon. Air.

It is true that the higher end. involves certain pecuniary consider ations.; but if any gentleman thinks a dentist pulls teeth for fun, or for the benefit of his own health, that gefrtleman is inistakett; The dentists, having noticed that the doctors con trive to get no small portion Of their princely'incomes out of long Latin wordsand polysyllabic teclinicalisms, -determined to do likeXvine. Under the old style of doing business, a tooth was a tooth, and fifty cents a jerk, all/ronnd, and qu industrious, hard-working dentist found it rather difficult to amass a fortune at this price, even by working ten hours it day, ahd charging extra foj; breaking jaws. Under the new schema things ®will be different. The dentist will probably charge half a dollar for prilling the plainest- kind of a tooth’ —say a buecftl. From this 'low figure—within the reach of all-—the charge will be graduated according to the length of the name of the tooth, until it reaches an even ten dollars for; the yanking out of a pos terior bucoal prominence of the second upper molar.. And it is cheap at the money.
