THE TRUE TEST.
The- Opposition in the Dominion
House are constantly attending to
show, by a twisting of census figures
ttleat labor has not been supplied to our
aitizans by the National Policy, and
consequently that the number of
months to be fed by the farmer has not
been increased.
All this talk is found to be nonsense
when the true test is applied, viz., the
Vont lay of raw material which is im•
ported into Canada.
By the trade returns it will be seen
that the following are the figures in
aome lines for the two yeaas, 1878 and
1893:

It heeds no explanation to show that
in, the making of this wonderfully in-
creased quantity of raw material into
the finished product, thousands of
hands have been employed, and they
and their families haye been fed by the
Canadian agricultualists 'I he whole
question between the two parties now
is: shall be keep these thousands of
men and their families here to earn
and spend among us the millions of
dollars they earn annually, or shall we
drive them out and add to the indust-
rial prosperity of some other country
by consuming the products of their
work shops rather than our own.

OLD COUNTRY n' EW SPAPERS
We are in receipt of a copy of the
"Devon Evening Express" an English
paper published at 01d Exeter,England
—a half penny sheet -.printed or rather
misprinted on tenth century paper,
evidently not so much in the interest
of the Old Exeterites as to the profit of
the citizen who collects the subscrip
'dans. Were it not that the editor tells
els the paper is registered at the gen-
eral post office as a "newspaper" we
would have taken it to be a patent
medicine wrapper, It is made up of
18 columns of fake advertising mat-
ter, 2 columns of scrap poetry and 1
column of fossilized and erude jokes by
the editor who calls himself "Cit"
which we take to be short for. "Citruie
or pumpkin head. Old Exeter is much
older and larger than her namesake
in Canada but she is not "in it" with
us in the newspaper line. Our sub-
scribers and patrons who pay us a half
penny per number for our newsy
, ournal, may congratulate themselves.
that they are better off than their old
aonntry friends who are compelled to_
,,way the same price for the empty
headed balderdash served up to them
By the Devon Evening Express.
CANADA'S FISCAL POSITION.
People have got 80 accustomed to
the old cry of "hard times", and hear -
tag the blue ruin speeches of certain
disappointed politicians such as the
Knight of South oxford, that those who
read only one side are apt to be. led
astray and think that the country is
"going to the dogs". We take no stock
whateyer in the cry of Opposition lead -
ars, whose occupation like that of
€ tlrello would be gone but for the arg-
i ments of "finding fault." What are
the facts, as brought out by the length-
ened debate on the Dominion • budget?
Why, that Canada is in a fair state of
prosperity --as evidenced by the fol-
lowing substantiated facts: (1) That
we stand higher in the money markets
elf Britain than any of the Colonies; (2.)
That our taxes are comparatively light-
er than those either of the other Colonies
er the United States; (3.) That we have
stood the financial panic which has
letteiy swept over the commercial world
Setter than any other country; (4.)
That according to the statement of
Ur. Geo. A. Cox, President of the Bank
of Commerce, farmers' notes and the
paper of business men have been more
promptly met at maturity than for
*M tiry- years pact: (5.) That our trade
with England and other countries has
eT icing the past four or five years in -
released by leaps and bounds; (6,) That
Oat adians, who nears ago left the
aeiuntry and went to the States in
fi+eareiLof employment, owing to the
Wan i'of'some such protective system
,. the National Policy, are iaow re•
turning by,hundreds and thousands;
(7) That according to a delega-
tion who last year visited the state of
New York, and compared the condition"
of farmers there with that in Ontario
our people are paying loss in general
for what they have to buy and getting
more for what they have to sell, than
the farmers of New York State; (8.)
That, so far from farm lands being
greatly depreciated in value, Mr. Cog
President of the Bank of Commence
has stated that there was a good de-
mand for improved farms; (9.) That
the deposits of the farmers in the goy
eminent and other Sayings Banks
have largely inereased; (10.) That our
progressive government at Ottawa,
who are not theorists but practical
business meu, haye done and are now
doing all in their power to meet the
demands of every class in the commun-
ity, by modifying considerably the Ca.
nadian tariff; (11.) That the policy of
the new tariff is to tax the luxuries,
reduce the duties or admit free all the
necessaries of life, and protect the
farmers on what they produce; And
(12,) That, as stated in a Reform journ.
al (The Montreal Witness) "the farm-
ers had obtained the lion's share by the
new tariff," and abeording to the same
authority that "every farin is worth
more to day than yesterday"!
When we add to all this the progres
sive steps now in course of arrange-
ment for a fast Atlantic Steamship ser-
vice, and for a cable communication
between Vancouver and Australia,—
both of which will materially develop
trade and tend to a closer union be.
tween Great Britain and her Colonies,
—it is but fair to state that Cauade's
fiscal position stands on a firm basis
We are not in a position to advocate
free trade. The credit of our country
must be sustained—a revenue has to
be raised to meet necessary expenses,
and to carry on successfully the public
business—and in no other conceivable
way can that revenue be raised, with-
out direct taxation which is contrary
to the genius of our constitution and
would not be relished by our people
and if the farming community wish to
know on which side their bread is but-
tered, all they have to do is to stand by
the men and the policy which have
already done • so much to maintain
Canada's sound fiscal position.
