UBEXl'. Discussing the Liberal outcry ,against the manufacturers the Canadian Trade preview says : "Tho rage some. 'party writers show against ;bloated' manu- iticturers seems to suggest that in or- der to prevent athletes becoming strong they would like to see the whole popu- lation stricken with small pox. To atop ib few getting nett they wish all the people to be 'kept paupers. Men are as economically diverse as the breeds of cattle. Turn a nutnber of .animals State a rich pasture and some will fatten while others retrain leau kine, the dif- ference is in 'the nature of the beast,' So, some men will get rich under the same fiscal and trade conditions which add nothing to the possessions of ethers, But turn the Best feeders into a barren field, non will be fattened; in alike manner, if trade conditions are bad, if foreign competition is disas- trous, no fortunes will be made, nor will any,workere have a comfortable subsistence. Although not 'bloated' ourselves, we feel no indignation at those who haye piled upfortunes, as the pasture they have fattened in is au open one. Those, then, who are anxious to prevent any man making a fortune by trade must first establish such conditions as will render poverty universal, and prevent men of skill and • enterprise reagin,, the recvald of these qualities." THE PORK TRADE. The pork trade since it received pro- tection illustrates the interest which the formers of Canada have iu the main tainence of the National .Policy. The protective duty was put on in 1$89 The imports of lard, ham, shoulder bacon and pork for the four subsequent years were as follows: lbs. 1889 .. 27,000,000 1891..:... 14,000,000 1892 11,000,000 1893...... 4,000,000 At the same time there was a ohange in the export trade. The following figures show the effect of Protection in four years: lbs. 1889.. .... .. . • ..... 4,000,000 1891. .... ..... 7,000,000 1892 , .. 12,000,000 1893 1893 .. 20,000,000 Thus Protection shut out competi tion and built up an enormous export business.- Of the protective system Mr. Laurier says: "Not onle vestige shall remain," and Sir Richard Cartwright declares there shall be "no half meas- ures." In the years named Protection ditniuished the imports of liog produce by 28,000,000 and increased the ex- ports by 16,000,000 pounds, Actual market obtained forfarmers by pro- tective policy iu this one item was 39,- 000,000 pounds of lards, ham; shoulder bacon and pork. Yet the Liberals are pledged to the "utter destruotiou of Protection." le/ef LU.4 .LVOTES. orals .have no policy whatever, The Dlo.utreal Witness declares that there are worse than Jimmy McShane clinging to the skirtsof the Liberal party This is a Grit stab at Tarte, Mr, Laurier is on alt sides of the school question but the right side,. His purpose is to foment disturbance; a statesman would seek toprevent it. The Liberals who will not worship the golden calf of boodleisin which has been enshrined in the hearts of the party in. Quebec are called Anathema. Sir Riehard Cartwright denounces the manufacturers as robbers. It would seem then that nearly the entire Lib oral, party of Quebec is composed of manufactures. The Free Trade Liberals taxed Ca- nadian coal fifty cents a ton, The Con- servatives gave the country free anthra- cite coal thereby remitting a tax of $750,000 a y ear. Why did Mr, Langley give Mr. Latir- ier his assistance iu Ontario? He gives the reason when he says he is opposed to. confederation. If he thought other arse he would, he says, favor the Na tion policy. "When I get into power I will settle the Manitoba Sshool question in the sunny way" says 31r. Laurier. Pre- cisely so; he would make it hot for Man- itoba if his pledge to Quebec means anything, The Globe would have its friends be sieve that there is a split in the Cabinet. The only foundation for this is that the •y 9 Ministers, like all-0onservatl a , are splitting their sides laughingat the absurdities of the Liberal policy. With the Opposition cart hitched to the Protestant horse ridden by Dalton McCarthy and to the Catholic horse rid- den by J. Israel Tarte, the leader of the Opposition hopes to ride into power. But the people of Cauada are not teetotally bliod. "Anything to beat the goverment" is the motto of Dalton McCarthy. After denouncing the French and the Separ- ate schools, the first thing he does when he goes to Parliment is to hold a con- sultion with J. Israel Tarte, the apostle of both, to see if they cannot agree up. on a motion of censure. And they generally agree. According to the Canadian Trade Review, United States farmers are get- ting from eight to ten cents a bushel for potatoes. The Toronto Globe quotes bags of potatoes in car lots at 20 cents. Difference in price in favor of the Ca- nadian farmers from five. to eight cent 8 a bag, and the Liberals want to incor- porate the Canadian farmers into the U. S. market. One Opposition poet declares that the Liberals are joined together heart and hand for Free Trade, and another as- serts in equally bad dogyerell that they are joined together heart and hand. for Reciprocity. There is as muchdisa- greement among the party rhymsters as among its statesmen. It might not look well in poetry, but the fact is, that they are joined together heart and hand for boodle. As was pointed out at Smith's Falls by Hon. John Haggart, the calculations of Hon. G. W. Ross betray either blind partizanship or bad arithmetic, both of which are particularly deplorable in a Minister of Education. Mr. Ross de- clares that the national debt takes $10,- 000,000 each year out of . the country, whereas the figure is nearer $6,500,000. This is about as near the truth as Op- positioa orators usually get. Their re- spect for it is shown chiefly by the dis- tance they keep from it. Mr. Elgin Myers, Q. C., professional Annexationist, was a delegate to the Liberal conveutioa in. Cardwell and was pressed to become the party cand'i date. He was nominated, but declined to run. In withdrawing his name, Mr. Myers stated that he was proud of his association with the Liberals became their principle (or he might better have said lack of principle) made them broad enough to embrace men of every shade of thought. Yes, Mr, i'1lyers, men of any shade of thought will be welcomed by the Liberals, particularly those whose thoughts take a dark shade.

Mr, Laurier, who endorses Tartisin has no difficulty in associating himself with all the other corruptioniets. The rapidity with which: Canada has taken hold of the Manufacture of bitty- cles is proof of the ability the country* possesses of manufeeturing generally, It is only two .or three years sines it became evident that thn bieyele was to become a standard article of use, and since that time a dozen or more factor es have been established and capital has been subseribe•i and machinery purchased sufficient to supply the de- mand of the whole Dominion. Accord- ing to the policy of the Grit party, this is all a mistake, Instead of making our own wheels, we should import them from the United States and Eng- land. We venture to say there is not one citizen in ten who is not proud of the fact that Canada is a manufactur- iug country, and who would not be sorry to see a, policy adopted that would kill of her manufactories and reduce her to a purely agricultural status. Laughter in the Ads. Curiously worded advertisements which are funny without intent, are more common iu the London papers, it would seem, than they are in New York publicatious, An English period icai offered a prize the other day for the best collection of such announce- ments, and the followiut is the result: "Auuual sale now on. Don't go else- where to be' cheated—kome in here ". " A lady wants to sell her piano, as she is going abroad in a strong iron frame." " Wanted, experienced nurse for bottled baby." ",Furnished apart- ments suitable for gentlemen with fold- ing doors." " Wanted, a room by two gentlemen about thirty feet long and twenty feet broad." " Lost a collie dog by a man on Saturday answering to Jim with a brass collar round .his neck and a muzzle." " Wanted, by a respectable -girl, her passage to New York, willing, to take care of 'children and a good sailor." f Respectable widow wants washing "or. Tuesday. "For Sale—a pianoforte the property of a musician with carved legs." "A boy wanted who can open oysters with a reference," " Bulldog for sale; will eat anything; very fond of childreu," " Wanted; an organist. and a boy to blow the same." "Want- ed, a boy to be partly outside and part- ly inside the counter." " Wanted, for the summer a cottage for a small fam- ily with good drainage."

' The last is the copy of an inscription painted on a board which adorned a fence in Kent: " Notis: If any man's or woman's cows get into these hare otes, his or her tail will be cut off' .as the case may be. "If the Liberal party puts forward Mr. McShatle in that constituency" says the Montreal Witness "of the •, vacancy in Montreal "we can only hope it will be beaten." The Witness is 000 of the most pronounced Liberal papers in Canada. It condemns the party nomi- nee because he "never appeared to know the `dl'E'erenc° 'between right and wrong" but adds significantly "the Liberal parte has far mor' dangerous men than Mr- VcShancr hanging to its skirts." It will 'now be the turn of the Witness to b read out of the party. La Patti3 was excommunicated be. etuse it weliAl not e runt�iranco i41e► - A chair factory may be established at Walkerton.

Inc to l4UI-'E1►e Judge !fa- vorable to the Prisoners Ogler Objleets-'t Cost)), Thai, Torouto, Dec, 2 =The longest, in point of time, in the annals of criminal trials en Canada was brought to a conclusion late Saturday afternoon, with a verdict of acquittal fpr the prisoners. The ab lest counsel in Canada were engaged on the case, and in addition to four able and experienced barristers of To- ronto, retained for defence, two New York lawyers—one of them of touts- cental reputation, were scut by the rel- atives of the prisoners to look after the interests of tho accused. The prosecu- tion of the ease has cost the Provincial Government in the neighborhood of $00,000 for the two trials= -that is, the first one in May last, and the one which has just concluded, and it is not too much to say that the tat: on the defense has been almost that amount. The trial in May lasted for fourteen days; this one has cottinued for 23 days, and on both occasions the utmost energies of both sides were put forward in the struggle. At both trials the presiding judge ruled out presumptive evidence which would undoubtedly have had a considerable-infleence on the jury, and on this last occasion especially the amount of evidence debarred has calltd forth a feeling of surprise. At Saturday's session of the cburt many persons from the various parts of the province were present to hear ,tlr. Osler's concluding remarks, and Mr. Justice Ferguson's summing up. It was expected from the first that so much evidence has been ruled out by him that he would charge favorably to the prisoners, but it was not supposed that his views would be so decided as they were. From first to last lm strongly inclined in favor of the accused, and a very large amount of the evidence of the crown he characterized as su- spicious. He warned the jurors that they were to use their strong common sense, and not be swayed by addresses of counsel or led by argnments off the right track of absolute allegiance to facts. He deprecated the attempt on the part of the crown counsel to be s'uirch the characters of witnesses for the defence, and closed by telltug the jury to bring in a verdict of guilt if they could do so feeling that the' priso- ners were guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If they found that there was any doubt, they were to return a ver- dict of acquittal His Lordship finished his address at 4:05, and the jury re- tired. Wheu they had entered the jury room and the door had been closed and tyled, Mr. Osler, with a tone of suppresed iu- dignation, moved for a reserve case. In his reserve case there were three .divi- sions—(1) on the ground of ruling out of evidence for the crown; (2) allowing evidence for the defense which was ob- jected to; and (3) the judge's ruling. At the conclusion of Mr. Osler's mo- tion, Mr. Wellman, the New York coun- sel, left the court room to catch the train for New York, •and ten minutes later the jury announced that they had reached a verdict. The judge at once took his seat on the bench, and the prisoners were brought in. They drag- ged themselves to the dock iu a stated half.collapse, and sat down av if sen- tence of death had already been passed upon them. The jury, after being polled, was asked for their verdict, and the priso- ners stood up and grasped the bars of the dock to keep from falling, The words "not guilty" which dropped from the mouth of the foreman of the jury, brightened them up at once, and the short space of a minute made them younger men by ten years. The announcement created a cheer in court, which was instantly suppressed by the sheriff. • The counsel for the defence asked. for the discharge of their clients, which was granted, and they stepped out of the dock free men. In the passage way, two yards from their former seats, they were met by Detective Alf. Cuddy, who served war- rants on them charging them with fraud and conspiracy to kill, and cbarg- ing Harry P. Hyams individually with forgery. They were at once taken iu to custody, and transported to their old lodgings in the jail. THE ALLEGED CRIME, On the morning of Jan. 16, 1893, the body of William C. Wells, aged 23 years, was found in the cellar of the warehouse of the Toronto , Storage Company, on Colborne street, where he was employed, The body was lying near the hoist, and close by was the weight used for raising and lowering the hoist. The Storage Company was composed of Harry and Dallas P. Hy- ams, twin brothers, who came original. ly froth New Orleans, and the employ, es in the warehouse, besides the dead boy, were his brother•in law, Ebenezer: Aylesworth,' and a typewriter, Mrs. Mabel Latimer, The news of the death was first made public by the Hvarns brothers who said that one ofthem (Dallas) was fixing the elevator weight it slipped and fell on young Wells. who at the rnometlt was looking ut, the hoist.
