Cameron, the champion in - Tenter of Huron, stated in a late speech that wheat was $1.25 a bushel in 1878, spinet 72 cts. now. The News -Record re- plies :—"We state and can prove that the average at that date in 1878 was only nets. a difference of 4.7cts." Be this as it may, there is no doubt of one fact, namely, that 72cts. to -day will buy more store goods than a dollar would ia 1878. The fanner is, therefore, no worse atb now than then by reason of lower price of wheat. To the minds of some people there might be a little excuse far the recent celebration of the "Rielite" victory iri Quebec by French Canadians of Chicago. They speak the same language, their religion was his, the auto blood coursed through their veins, and they are strongly impreguated with the same idea thatthe French raCV-Shotild be the rulers of Canada. , Although their cense is a mistaken one, some allowance . can be made for them. They no doubt give expres: sion to their feelings. Their motives they believe to be worthy ones. But for any political party or any set of men, having no affinity of race, to rejoice with the FreOch over the avenging of Riel, and to telegraph cofigratilations to Laurier and Mercier over the result of their appeal to the Worst pas- sions of their ignorant people, there can be no excuse offered. Yet such congratulations were sent by the Young Liberals, of London, to men who boldly proclaimed hostility to the English people and boasted of their ability t� carry Quebec on the Riel issue. The Young Lib - erals have no kindred sentiment of race, their watchword has always been "Dowu jury had pronounced imonit is quite sound:" with French dothination but they have THE Globe and other Grit organs now tell us that Riel should not have been hanged for the murders incidental to .the rebellion, because he was ansane.rl. But that was not the language held by the Globe formerly. At the conclusion of Riel's trial, the organ said on the insanity question • "As to the prisoner's guilt on.the highest crimes. that cam be laid to a man's charge there has been no shadow of doubt since his letter to Poundmaker was produced. Nor as to his sanity has there been any doubt since the jury havingheard the experts' evi- dence, decided that Riel was responsible.

But we heve this to remark : friendship will not elect it requires votes for that. ' This is Mr. Sharp's first campaign, and we fear he is taking too much for granted.

Can anyone who reads this doubt that the French-Canadians, who are banded together under the Rouge and Castor leaders, are actuated byBritish rule ? is it not plain that they wish to avenge the death a Riel because he was, in a sense, a representative of their aspirations ? They cannot forget that they were once supreme in Canada, Would it be safe to allow these men to gain possession of the Government of the Dominion The people are warned. The enemies of British law and British rule have clearly indicated their desire to make the French race dominant in this country. Will the warning be heeded ? Will the people arouse to the danger which threatens them ? Every man who voted that Riel was unjustly, hanged, has, in effect, en- dorsed the disloyal claims of the Castors inlileeurtalli.
