FREE TIRADE TT ENGLAND,
Ina recent English work, by E. Bur -
bis, entitled, a Perils toBritish Trade"
„
part of the author's introduction, as
quoted in a contemporary, is as follows:
"It is usual for the advocates of the
free trade policy of this country to at-
temt to justify it not so much by any
defence or direct apology for it, or on
its essential merits, as by inferences in
its favor derived from a misrepresenta-
tion of the policy of protection, The
most systematic and audacious mis-
representation of facts, and the most
persistent falsification of history, aro
now the sole basis for popular belief in
it or patience with it, The Corn Law
controversy is falsely described and
disposed of. The temporary and arti-
ficial prosperity of this country during
the years of oar monopoly of the im
proved tools of production and distri-
bution, and during those years when
other great nations were engaged in
exhausting wars—is all ascribed to the
free trade policy; and any attempt or
proposal to revert to fiscal regulation
of external trade is falsely described as
limiting the supply of needful commo-
dities, and attempting to create a mon-
opoly for landlord's,"
Down to twenty years ago, or for the
first thirty years after the adoption of
free trade, Great Britian was placed at
an enormous industrial and commer-
cial advantage by possessing superior
industrial development to begin with,
including the means of distribution,
and by the foreign or ciyil wars of other
countries. But during the.past twenty
years there have been no wars to speak
of, and the respective merits of free
trade and protection haye for the first
time been put to the test with compara-
tive fairness; and there can be no
doubt where the greater progress has
been made. Tha protective countries
have gone ahead "by leaps and
bounds." It cannot be truthfully said
that the great free trade country has
done so. The relative industrial and
commercial positions of the various
leading countries of the world have
-enormously changed during the past
twenty years, and the advantage is dis-
tinctly and undeniably with the pro
tested countries. These are the facts'
that are making their way slowly but
surely into the hands of the people of
Great Britain.
THE TW 0 SYSTEMS.
Between nations, but two systems
have ever existed, the trade tariff
system and the protective tariffsystem.
The fruit of the free trade tariff
system is, in the words of the British
Royal Commission, intermittent and
consequently dear production, and ab.
sense of reliable profits; in the words
of General Booth, over 3,000,000 of
helpless and starving British workmen,
begging for work to earn the bare
bread of daily existence; in the words
of Cardinal Manning, " the capital that
stagnate's and the starvation wages of
the labor market."
The fruit of the protective tariff
system is—by reserving the sure home
market to the competition of Canadian
producers --continuous and conse-
quently economical and profitable pro-
ductions, giving cheap prices to the
ultimate consumer, fair returns on in-
vested capital, and the highest wages
to labor. Under it neither capital
stagnates nor labor starves, but both
do their work together.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
"The recent report of the Royal Com-
'mission on Labor to the Imperial Parlia-
ment refers in significent terms to the
terrible condition into which the agri-
cultural of England has fallen, and
points, as a sample of many cases, to
one instance of a farm in the County
of Norfolk which ten years ago netted
to the landlord a rental of $4,100, and
which now will only let for $500 a
year.
In Canada the prudent, temperate
and industrious worker is sure of, at
least, a fair reward; his ambition to
succeed seldom meets with failure; in
numerous instances he owns land and
home; luxuries to the European labor-
er are necessities to the Canadian.
:how then can we compete with the
former and maintain our superiority
in these regards ? ,Steam and electri-
city havemadeof the
ty world onenel„h-
borhood, eliminating largely the pro-
tection once afforded by time, 'distance
and transportation. There is only one
way in solving this problem: Legisla.

Canadian market for their product.
The Toronto. Globe to the disgust, no
doubt, of many of the blue•rilin Grits,
says: "All the signs point to the re-
turn of good times in Canada. Pros,
perity is returning to our best custom-
ers. In 1804 our total foreign trade
was $230,61S,932 and of this $107,256,-
123 is put down to Great Britain, and
$85,844,000 to the United States, What-
ever affects the prosperity of these two
countries, in which we find the princi•
pal markets for our prod nets, must af'
feet Canada. In both these are signs
of a revival of business, and in the
United States she improvement is ex-
tensive and widespread.

possible Republican candidates for the

Canada's oarsmen are usually found
in the front at the close of every im-
portant race iu which they are repre-
sented, -At Henley they proved them
selves the equals of Britain's best, and
at Saratoga they led every procession
in which they entered. In the senior
singles, Hackett, a dark horse from
Rat Portage, came in four lengths a
head of the second man, and ended
fresh and strong. He had the misfor-
fortune, however, to foul another com-
petitor, and that accident lost him the
race. Jury, of the Toronto Club, fin-
ished five lengths ahead in a splendid
race of the intermediate singles,
Judge Davidson delivered a judge-
ment at Montreal on June 24, which
was of general interest. Madame See-
ly became a widow and engaged Wm.
Tracey to bury her poor husband,
This was done in the most aesthetic
style and a bill sent to the widow for
$152.75. The lady held that the under-
taker had gone beyond ail reason in
charging $60 for a coffin, $12 for em-
balming, $10 for clothing, three double
carriages at $12, and the rest. Judge
Davidson decided at once that the
amount offered, namely $40, was quite
sufficient, and went ou to say that • if
the dead could only see the useless ex-
penditure that their funerals entailed
they would think it strange indeed,
and as for Seely, who has been a
drunkard, and who had died from the
effects of strong drink, he would laugh
in his sleeve to see all the fuss that had
been made on. his remains,
The story of bad crops in Michigan—
the worst in many years—has been
told in many fragmentary reports; but
the full truth is brought out by special
investigation by News correspondents
in about 20 representative Michigan
counties. The products most seriously
injured by the frosts and subsequent
drouths are wheat and hay. The most
doleful report comes from Lapeer coun-
ty, where in many places wheat will
not average more than five bushels to
the acre. Hay is being cut by lawn
mowers in several counties or else
abandoned altogether. Farmers are
planting corn and millet to take the
place of hay for winter fodder. In
some places hay is selling as high as
$20 or $22, but the average seems to be
from $13 to $15. Wheat, which recent-
ly rose to about 80 cents, is now in the
70s and 60s.
What The Gold Cure Is !
A lady signing herself Mrs. W. Car-
ter, wries as follows:
M. EDITOR,—So much has been
written regarding Gold Cure for drunk•
enness that we all know of the great
good accomplished. My husband who
was a wreck for years took treatment
at an institute over three years ago,
and has had no desire to taste liquor
since; but it cost us oyer $100. I had a
brother in-law a chemist, a slave to
drink, but to poor to take the treat-
ment. He analsyed the medicine iry
husband brought home and cured him-
self. Four of our acquaintances got
the perscription and cured themselves,
The following is the prescription:
Electrofied Gold, 15 gra; Muriae of
Ammonia, 7h grs; Comp. Fluid Extract
of Chinchona, 4 oz; Fluid Extract of
Cocoa, 11 oz; Nitrate of Strychnine, 1
gr. distilled water, 1ioz. Take a tea-
spoonful every two hours when awake
for two or three weeks; after the second
or third day there will be no desire for
drink. Medicine to effect a cure will
not cost over $3.50, I think every
paper should help the poor by publish-
ing the prescription.

night in a stove in the house formerly oc-
cupied by H. Holmes, the alleged murder-

chain was identified by the jeweller who
made it.
GRAVEL EXPLAINS. ,
To Intention of Asking Rome to Try Her
Influence With the Privy Council.
Montreal, July 20.—Archbishop Lange -
vin, of St. Boniface, Man., and Bishop
Gravel,of Nicola, were both in the city to-
day. The former has adopted the watch-
word "No Surrender" in the school ques-
tion,and says there can bo no compromise
as far as he is concerned.
Mgr. Gravel made the following state-
ment to the press: "It is not true that
there was even any intention of asking
Rome to influence the Privy Council, and
that this was to be done through Cardinal
Vaughan. Cardinal Ledochowski, at the
time of my visit to Rome, asked me what
the Vatican could do in the matter, and
suggested that it should call the attention
of the British Government to this matter,
and that this might be done through Car-
dinal Vaughan, as Cardinal Ledochowski
was not acquainted with the British Min-
isters. You may rest assured," conclud-
ed his Lordship of Nicolet, "that there
never was any idea of influencing the
judges or of having any relation with
them, and that Rome never so acts. What
I had suggested was that the then Colonial
Minister in London be reminded ..of the
engagement made by. the Colonial•Xinis-
ter of 1869; when promises and engage-
ments were made with the Manitoba
Catholics of those days. Tho honor of the
British Crown was at stake in the matter,
and we wanted Rome to tell the British
Government that. On my return from
Rome last January, I found that my
clergy were not quite acquainted with the
true state of affairs, and for the purpose of
informing them I wrote the letter. I also
thought the question was finally settled
by the judgment of the Privy Council and
I wanted to create a public opinion which
would enable the Dominion to act in the
matter and give Catholics their rights."
DR. D. W. M'GEE DROWNED.
Sad Ending to a Holiday --Lost His Life in
the Presence of Friends.
Burlington, Ont., July 22.—A sad
drowning accident occurred on Hamilton
bay this afternoon. Dr. McGee, of To-
ronto University, was visiting Mr. Parks,
also of Toronto University, and they
went out for a sail on the bay, accom-
panied by Mr. Parks' younger brother.
When about a mile from the Brant house
they all went in for a swim. When about
fiftry yards from the boat, McGee called
for help, and on Parks going to his as-
sistance they both sank, locked in each
other's arms, but finally got separated.
Parks and is brother got ashore, but the
former fainted from exhaustion. On the
alarm being given several boats went to
try and recover the body, but night set
in, and it will not likely be found to-
night. Grappling; irons will be got from
the city, and search kept up. Dr. McGee
was a most promising member of the
university staff

Rochester, N.Y., July 20.—The Herald
says:—At Toronto, Ont., to -day the last
name was signed to a fifty year agree-
ment, by which the new Toronto, Ham-

connecting link between the great Cana-
dian Pacific system of Canada and the
Vanderbilt system. Tho Toronto,Hamil-
ton,and Buffalo road is to run from Buffa-
lo to Toronto via Hamilton, a distance of
122 miles. The road has alroad+ been
completed between Waterford and Toron-
to, and is in operation. When theroad is
completed sleepers will be run through
without change from Toronto to Now
York, and west from Toronto to Detroit
and Chicago. Under its charter the To-
ronto, Hamilton,. and Buffalo is entitled
to issue $20,000 in stock for each mile
The Canadian Government grants a sub-
sidy of $3, 200 for each inile of track, and
the city of Hamilton has also granted a
subsidy of $225,000.

Black Flags recently attacked the Japan-
ese troops at Tokoham,Island of Formosa,
