SOME TRADE POINTERS.
Tizv business capabilities of the

t`bn of Great Britain, all countries

ta�ystem of fiscal finance which is calc

development. Ours is a system
moderate protection, as compared wi
••e United States, France, and nth

4C to 100 per cent ad valorem; whi
with us the average rate from 1879 t
Ia93, during which the National Polio
Sas been in operation, has neyer ex
needed 28 or 29 per cent. Has thi
mate of things been beneficial to Car
ada or otherwise? The answer to suc

that a surplus of revenue has take

• 0 U2 CANDIDATE..
In South Huron we have sufferedde-
feat, politically speaking, at the bands
of the Reformers. While we have suf-
fered that defeat we can bear it grace.
fully. In the election of 1892 we suf,
fered a defeat by a majority of 132, in
1886 we again got defeated by a ma-
jority of 507, in 1890 by a Majority of
158 and in this election by the small
majority of 16, Let us take up the
election of 1892 and compare notes. At
that time there were 3792 votes polled
in the riding and Mr, Bishop's majority
was 132; in 1886 there were 4119 votes
polled in the riding and Mr, Bishop's
majority was 507; in 1890 . there were
4130 votes polled in the riding and a
majority of 158 for Mr. Bishop, and in
this election the nninber of votes polled
will be in the neighborhood of 4200 and
Mr, M. Y. Lean's majority only reaches
the shall sum of 16. This certainly is
a large reduction and ourpopular can-
didate, Mr. Wreismiller, deserves great
praise and commendation ou his ex-
cellent results as a politician. He has
without a doubt proved himself an ar-
dent worker in politics and although
he may be compelled to go back to the
little town of Hensall and pursue his
usual ayocation, the eyes of the elect-
ors will ever be set upon him,aud some
day in the near future he will be one
of the shining lights in our parliament
Not one word of condemnation can. be
Raid agaist Mr. Weismiller. He con-
ducted the dampaign in a manly
and upright manner, an evidence of
which speaks for itself in the respect-
able number of votes polled for him.
The conservatives of South Huron re-
joice to know that their candidate en
tered the field with an unblemished
character and leaves in the same. The
oppositionhave not one word to say
against Mr. Weismiller even through
they are politically c pposed to him. No
doubt at the next election Mr. Weis -
miller will be with us again and we
will receive him with open arms and
give him a larger welcome than ever.
The election has been fought and
claimed to be won but in many in-
stances it is evident that unscrupulous
means have been resorted to in order
to gain victory, and in consequence
thereof doubtless action will be taken
iu-the matter.
T1IE FRANCHISE ACT.
Sir John Thompson has done well in
making certain amendments to the
clumsy and expeesiva Dominion fran-
chise act. He would be doin,; much
better were he to wipe the act entirely
out of existence, and substitute a sys•
inin of registration, The registration'
system is no experiment. For many
years it .was obtained' in the United.
States, and has given good satisfaction.
It was tried the other day in Toronto,
and the result was the entire satisfact-
ion of ell concerned,
Under the registration system there
is no annual or biennial, or other fixed
time at which to make lists of voters.
These lists are not made until they
are wanted. A short time before the
election, a few days are set apart for
the purpose of registering votes. All
who desire to vote are registered, The
lists are thus precisely up to date; per-
sonation is .avoided, and dead men can-
not vote.
The plan is very simple. It works
well. It is cheaper than any. other
plan. It has proved satisfactory wher-
ever tried, and both fhe Dominion and
the provincial governments should
adopt •it.
Crops in Ontario.
The Ontario Department of Agricul-
ture has issued a bulletin covering the
condition of the crops down to June 16,
and bhouring especially the effect of the
reeentraius.
Fall wheat stood the heavy rain and
changes in the weather better than ex•
petted Not very much damage ex-
cept in very heavy clay soil. The pres
ent condition of the crop is fair, with
prospects of a crop quite up to the ay.
erage, if not aboye it, with a continua-
tion of fair weather.
Spring wheat suffered, more espee.
ielly on low-lyirtg lairds. On the whole
indications are that the crop will be
about two-thirds of the average.
Barley sufered'rom the rain and
also from late frost somewhat extolls
ively and is very backward. It is,
however, making rapid progress and
etch favorable weather will equal the
average of the last two years.
Oats were not much effected by the
rains, save on the low-lying grounds,
where they were drowned out. They
are now growing rapidly, and lit though

Among the Conservatives who have met
