Between 1878 and. 1886the net debt of Canada increased from $149,- 362,069 to $186,409,692, or by $56,045,- 628, But in the same period the de posits or savings of the people in the three institutions ran up nearly seventy million dollars.

Thirdly, no Conservative should allow any consideration to prevent him from voting for the Conservative candidate,lest by indif- ference and carelessness the Riding should be captured by the Reform party, it would require uphill work to regain it, if possible at all, for Mr. Blake would so reconstruct the Riding that it could not be redeemed.

This [notion is to be brought under the notice of the )ntario Government, and Premier Mowat, when asked to adopt one of the chief planks in the platform. of the Leader of the .Opposition, will doubt- less shiver. DURING the electioncampaign. of 1873, Mr. Jas. Trow, together with Mr. A. B. Wood made pathetic appeals to the Con- servatives of South Perth, to denounce the Government of Sir John Macdonald, by voting against ]iIr. Jos. Kydd, because it al- lowed the red-handed murderer, Riel, who had put to death Thos. Scott, a loyal and tree citizen, to escape just punishment. In fact tears were shed over his death. This same Mr. Trow, now exhibits his sorrow in Riel's behalf, and claims that because he was insane, he should not have been punish- ed. He says that his father before him was insane, and that the mania was hereditary. It follows then that Riel was as insane dur- ing the trouble in recehnt e was sand, as ��®e 7 he was dtiring.the recent rebellion, and for which he received his reward.

In the period of Liberal rule the debt in-•• creased annually much more rapidly than during the.past S years, and, all the time the people's savings in the banks were dwindled down ,and absence of employ- ment incl unpr.btit.able character of trade rendering necessary to draw upon the ac- cumulation of more prosperous years and other systems of government. Before the National Policy was inaugurated the windows of our merchants were full of Ail'lerioan cottons, while now the goods can scarcely be found on our markets. Canadian cottons are substituted. Mr. Sharp is a believer in the Na- tional Policy THE 'COAL TARIFF. The Grits are making a great howl concerning the coal tariff. We are told how it operates against this one and that. But every reasonable elector knows that the protective tariff now in force is for EDITORIAL NO1'f•.S.

Thursday's session of the U. S. Cabinet was mainly devoted to the consideration of a proposition to extend the postal system between the U. S. and Canada, so as to per- mit the carrying in the mails of packages weighing not more than four pounds. The present system limits the weight of such mail matter to eight ounces. duty of fifty cents per ton is intended to foster that trade. That it has done so may be easily prover[ by a reference to official records, which show the trade of that Province to have been as follows :— Sales in Tons. 1S74.78. 1SS0-S5 Total coal sales 3,480,705 7,054 5535 Sold to United Statee667,650 587,940 Solcl to other countries, 411,530 564,205 Sold within. Dominion, 2,401,495 5,801,390 These figures' show that ,..while ,the average annual output of coal at the Noire, Scotia .tines during the Grit period was • but 696,141 tons, it' has been 1,175,589 tons ever since. In round figures the in- crease has been 10Q per cent., a result which is really marvellous. Do we pay more for coal now than dur- ing the Grit regime ? The answer is found in the fact that while the average price as entered by the importers at the Custom Houses of Canada in 1874 was '$4.72 per ton, it was but $3.70 last year. Another important factor in this question is this :—Had the Government been unable•°to obtain any revenue from coal it would have been ccnanelled to retain the duties on tea and coffee. Coal, tea and coffee in.1885 paid duty as in the first column of figures below. Had the Cart- wright tariff been in force it would have paid duties as given in the second column :— First Colnrnn. Second Column. Coal ---------1,064,261•7,032,039 Tea . - ... " ... " 33, 439 Coffee 21,207 86,814 $3,118,904 $1,118,S53 That is to• say, under the revenue tariff of the Liberals the whole Dominion would have, in 1885, paid just $59 less than it actually paid, the coal industry of Nova Scotia would have been closed, 20,000 persons wculd have been compel- led to go to the States seeking livelihood, and $15,000,000 or $20,000,000 of Capital invested would have beer,' lost— sunk in holes itt the ground and in' rapidly rusting out machinery. By paying $59 a year more under a readjusted tariff a great in- dustry has been set on its legs and is growing sturdy and strong. Still another point to be considered is the fact that the Nova Scotiatis, buy our coal oil, the production of which is an industry confined to Western Ontario. Before the duty was put on they A PROMINENT Reformer of Hay ' ewn- ship was heard to remark the other day, that he would rather than a $1,000 see Sir John A Macdonald defeated ; or would willingly give $100 to see the stars and stripes unfurled in Canada. He is a loyal (1) Briton, surely ; but then he is true to the record of the Reform leaders. The testimony of this gentleman gives in a nut shell the honest contentions and desires of our Reform friends. Those who wish to see Canada retained for the Canadians vote for Sir John Macclonaq by voting for Sharp and Coughlin. 5 DAIS LO Winter Goods. 1er� r Out 411�,��ex Valuable PR venAway.res n � 1 Iivino, a few pieces of MEDIUM and �-EAVY DRESS GOODS left, consisting of Piecesall wool in Brown, Bronze, and Garnet at 3 French l li all wool in Cardinal ant?

There can be nothing more cer- tain than that if our industries are killed off by the one-sided free trade policy of a Government, other manufcturers will have us completely at their mercy, and will be able to exact from us any price they may demand.

He had encouraged the belief that the cause was helpless under the lead of his rival, while with the new commander great things could be accomplished. He also causd it to be known that no service need' be expented from him iu a subordinate position. He was not born for subordinate positions. The party has had six years of Mr.. Blake, and the results are not such as to convince the public that the movement of 1880 was a foresighted one. Mr. Blake appealed to the electors in 1882 for permission to rule. The next set of representatives were more than two to one against him. He has steadily assailed the Government from 1882 until uow, yet representatives ohoseu at the elections during that period are should be elected. Certainly experience two to one in fa', or of the administration. teaches ; the electors of South Perth have, Ontario, which has supported its Grit Premier through think and thin, sends a majority to Parliament against Mr. Broke. Nova Scotia,whileelecting a Grit legislature, sent to Ottawa fifteen opponents .of Mr. Blake and, only six supporters.
