The Exeter Advocate, 1895-10-4, Page 4THE Outer brorat, .SANDRS dF DYER Prop,. THURSDAY, October 3rd 1899 \, a fatal blow at the hitherto. wonderful derful prosperity of the country, Conclusion. --If we are legislating for the benefit of the people of other Goon- tries, e'ree Trade is the proper thing for that purpose. But if we are legis- lating for Ganadat and her people then Protection is what is required, A Scheming Young Person. Stratford, Oct, L—In. the Assizes to, day the case. of Stacey vs. Michael, an action for breach of promise of mar- riage from Michael, was dismissed with costs at the plaintiff's consent. Char, lotte Stacey, whose home is near St. Thomas, is a domestic, aged 29, who alleged that R; Micheal seduced her. under promise of marriage. At her examination before the Master a few days ago .she admitted that Michael had never promised to marry het,' and also that the child she claimed was his was procured at the House of Refuge in London, The sudden termination of the ease created a sensation. E ENGL.IS'1X .FARMER MUST HAVE .L'ROTEOTJON The Marl~ Lane Express Says: "We rind in a most favored part of our best ,arable laud, that it is better to stay in led and do nothing than to continue tq grow corn at a loss. This has already* caused farmers to work with 'diminish- ed labor—a great hardship to the men discharged and driven to seek other employment—the men remaining have tesaccept much lower wages. Many .farmers havediminished their capital and find return for years of toil to be absolutely nil. Witb patient persever- ance they have kept on hoping for bet- ter times, But hope deferred maketh. the heart sick and many will not con- tinue to struggle much longer, With the growing poverty of the occupiers the land is getting impoverished. Much of it must speedily eo out of cultivation. 2n fact already many thousands of acres of land that had for centuries peen good corn land is: thrown out of 'use and returned to prairie value, This anuses utter ruin to many owners and most serious reduction of income to all. But for the capital engaged and cap- able of being employed, more serious lass would have been attained long ago. What can be done to arrest this evil and restore prosperity? Is there any remedy? Probably no single remedy Suffice. Protection is the most potent, 'but it r must be of a type that bands amen together, and not the mere fight- ing of the cheaper produce of the for. signer. SELF EVIDENT TRUTHS. A self.evident truth is one w needs but to be stated to be accep by candid, unprejudiced minds. hold the following to be self evident First. -If the Canadian people p obese from the United States ten Eon dollars worth of goods, Can get the goods and the United Sta get the ten million dollars in cash, ff we buy the same goods, from Ca wean producers then Canada has b the goods and themoney and is million dollars better off than by former transaction. Second.—If the prodnction of th goods in this country would give -year's employment to twenty thousa of our own people, then'buying goods abroadewil1 leave twenty th sand of our own people idle who mi, have been employed bad we purchas the goods at home, and if these twen thousand people would have earned an average $400 each, then we havi destroyed their puchasing power, ha seduced the demand for all goods in th eountry and damaged our home ma het to the extent of eight million dollars, less what our people will bu and give to these idle people as Chari to keep them from starvation. Fourth.—If such goods can be pr a sewed and shipped into this count nom. abroad cheaper than they can b produced at home, then our people wi surely buy from abroad, and there a /eat two known ways of preventing i one is by a tariff which will shut th goods out of this market, the other i the reduction of the cost of home pro deletion. ion. And as the chief cost of pro duction is wages, if such cost is reduc td, to any appreciable extent it mus • through a reduction of waa•es, whic mat only impoverishes the laborer, bu also every other person of whom th hsborer is accustomed to purchase th necessaries and the luxuries of life. These truths cannot be denied. Bu lin: presenting them to Free Traders w are met with the answer, "Oh, but we must increase our own . foreign trade we must enlarges the foreign market for our own productions." We,know of but one way that thi learr'fie accomplished to any appreci- able extent. and that is by so reducing wages in this country that we can produce the goods at a cost which will enable us to complete with all foreign manufacturers and producers in the markets of the world. And then sup- pose it does happen that by allowing ten million dollars worth of goods to come into this country from abroad we are thereby enabled to sell ten million 'dollars of our productions in foreign markets,. which we could not otherwise ;'clave sold, whole will we have gained aything ? It is simply an exchange e of our earn• �zr�dities for a like amount of foreign products. It is like taking `a dollar' out of one pocket and putting it into another, and to accdniplish this result 'acre- lav • c reduced our working men to Starvation wages, greatly damaged our g %Ofrt blYl Markebyt r ed ' titin th g' the u inches. p nog poWer of our people', and thus strike hich ted We, ur- mil ada tes but ua• oth ten the ese a nd the ou ht ed ty on ng ve is r• of y, ty c- ry e 11 re t; e s h e e e s Alleged Fire -Bug• Discharged John Williams, the colored man charged with setting fire to the grain warehouse of Stanley & Dight,' Lucan, on the night of July 22nd last, was placed on trial before Judge Edward Elliott Wednesday afternoon. He was discharged at the conclusion of the testimony of the crown's first and chief witness, Andrew Patton, a farmer, liv- ing on con 2, McGillivray, andeeabout 4e. miles from Lucan, Patton was in Lu• can on the night of the fire, and as he was passing the warehouse on the way home, flames broke out in one corner of the building. In the glare of the light he said he positiyely identified Wil- liams. On cross-examination, however Patton said he sometimes got the worse of liquor. He had a few drinks of whis• keyon his visit sit to , Lueau and da admitted that he could not distinguish a man 80 rods away. Judge Elliot found the ac cused not guilty without proceeding further with the case, holding that Pat- ton could easily have been mistaken at the lace hour at which the fire occurred The crown had several witnesses pres• out to meet any attempt to prove an alibi for Williams. Mr. James Magee, crowu attorney prosecuted; Messrs. E. Meredith and Dromgole for the defeuse. House of Refuge The House of Refuge committee met in the Council Chamber, on Tuesday and opened the tenders for supplies, of which there were a large number. Among others there were tenders from T. Eaton & Co., Toronto, but the coin.mittee declinedto entertain them, be cause written across them were the words "Cash to accompany order."

It will cost $4.80 at the House. The building will be completed about Oct 15th and the date for recep- tion of inmates about Nov, 1st.
