Tizv business capabilities of the s''al government were never m ;bare, demonstrated than by the d petttirk with which the new tariff w hltrowuecd-ten days after the op pie; ofP'rrrtiament and by the practi �ni;::Itar in which its several clan were modified during the progress ui:e session, in order to meet the wa 3f'va;'b us classes of our communi :,+pealcfng briefly, the on distingui 5)g feature of the new tariff is the d rence between a revenue and a p lectsve tariff With the single ext t`bn of Great Britain, all countries calirope and America have adopted ta�ystem of fiscal finance which is calc lated not only to raise a revenue f srrying on the public business of t laatsntry, but such as will protect n rove industry in its labor and its gene development. Ours is a system moderate protection, as compared wi ••e United States, France, and nth ai>uuntries--where the duties range fro 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 ai question is to be found in the fac that a surplus of revenue has take ere place of deficits -and in the furthe Ia.iet that whereas before the N. P., ou etoung people were leaying the coo airy and crossing over to the U. S. No tEey are returning back to Canada i Hundreds and thousands; while hom lhfustry has developed largely throug �eneouragcment under the Nationa Our National credit has in creased, and the interest rate on ou National debt has steadily decreased l'''1'.o country has stood the strain of re gent eommercial depression so well a Canada, We cannot but be seriousl affected by our proximity to the U. S where financial disaster and strike lave been so phenomenal; but is th face of it all, we are to -day in a fairl (prosperous condition, with a high na- denial credit and on a safe momentary 7r�,sie. As a proof of the successful working of the N. P. under the present federal government, 53,500,000 have been remitted to the people on the arti- ate of sugar alone; while according to she blue book in Ottawa the free list of ::reported goods has yielded since 1882 ..e.total saving of $ 9,500,000, or au an anal average saving to the pecp'e of about ."2,500,000! Admitting that the matonal debt is still large, we must semember that we have good valve for dile amouat in railways and canals, and other public works, without which we could prosper as we have done. .Look at our experinleutal farms, for example, and see the good results of R thews government institutions g to our ; Irming cominunitr, Look at the ?mighty developement of trade and of aur internal resources from the opening alp of that colossal enterprise, the Ca median Pacific Railway. Look at the alving effected by our present adminis- trators of government in the Inter -co lbnial Railway -so necessary in de• yeloping trade and commerce as be- tween the Maritime Provinces and the Western Provinces of Canada. Let a e3y intelligent man examine for him- aca the new tariff, item by item, and Me the vast reductions made in favor of our farming community. No fewer than 71 articles are made free that were subject to duty under the former iaariff: While numbers of articles . are admitted free that cauoot be raised or manufactured in this country,the pres- ent government -true to the great Yt die of'our people, who constitute the Bene and sinew of Canada, such as the :%erners-have given protection to farm produce of every description. That man must bo case-hardened who will not admit the liberal' policy whieh gibe present government have been pur suing towards the great body of the people. The developments of home in• industry, -the increasing magnitude ref out foreign trade with Great Britain and other countries, -the establish Ment of a line of steamships to China, japan, and other eastern lands, -the present arrangements being perfected for sable eommunication between Can- ada and Australia and for developingv :antereoionial trade between ail parts of wile British Empire, -these and other strides already manic, or in near ac- complishment in the future, all prove 117tat otir federal government are not '"tiles on the wheel" but practical cal states :tlicll`wlio know What ` the people, require mid who are determined on conserving 2fie'best intCrests f t to whole Of l 4,l o c Domill.

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 lebackward, e a t }at,1 Guardthe yield should be up to,the average, R,ye was hurt very little by rain, but, less of it seems to be grown every year Peas were considerably damned p at d the Cru is very late damaged Corn is h trdly up to the average, much of h n:tving to be f „ replalltOd be- cause of the damage from rain.

Never before have there been candidates of so many different complexions in the field, and surprises were naturally expect. ell, but they, are not so great as had been anticipated. The Liberals lost 8 seats to the Conservatives and the Conservatives lost eight seats to the Liberals, so 'hat honors• are easy on that score. The Patrons cut the Conservative and into the Government ranks about. equally, ,even of the 14 seats being wrested from Liberals and six from Cuuservatives, whole one Patron wee re-elected. . All of Sir Oliver's ministers were elected with the exuepciou of .,1r. Herty of King - atm), the Minister of Public Works. Speaker B.ddlatltyne, however, is also numbered with the slain. Among the Conservatives who have met defeat, are Mr. James Clancy of Kent and Mr. G. W. Monk of Carleton, the Con- servative whip. Of the 48 Patron candidates in the field 14 were elected. The P.P.A-'s elected three of their av,iwed five candidates. The election of Hen. \1r.
