We have frequeutly heard it re- marked upon our streets, and not 'without a just reason ; "What can be done to induce industries to locate in our midst, or in what way can we infuse more business lite into our somewhat quiet but substantial vile lage, ? It is a query not easily an- swered, and a state of affairs less readily eradicated; especially at present, when the country is labor• ing' under a chronic depression,'' and in that conclusiou we may not look for any large amount of capital to seek investment in any of the ordi- nary manufacturing industries car— , ried on in interior towns. We are not without a fair share of such man- ufactures now. We have a good I flouring mill, a woollen mill, a saw ' mill, two planing factories, several carriage factories, furniture factories, a tannery, flat mill, turning factory, W. H. Verity cC Son's foundry and machine shop, in which not only the best of farming implements' are made, but the best plow one com- mandlug an extensive sale—is men- ufactured ; and besides these there is a number of smaller enterprises. None ofthesepretend to beconducted on a large scale, but they are never- theless growing enterprises, that have a strong claim on the support of the people in this vicinity, as their i presence in no small degree sustains whatever we have of a home market for farm products. These active industries are all susceptible of further profitable development, provided they were accorded all the r t.a e of their respective ir_ dlines, parts of which go now to different places, for there are people whose interests centre at home, vet who believe the proper thing -to do is to send their money abroad to help build other towus and cities. It is now several years since the combined efforts of some of our citi- zens demonstrated that Exeter possessed a rich deposit of salt rock. The well was sunk, and since that time the Exeter salt well company bas done nothing to develop that rich resource, other than supply the immediate farming community with salt for land and stock purpose. The very low . price of salt, no doubt, prevented the company doing any- thing more than was done. But the fact that Goderich, Seaforth, Wing ham and Ben sall salt wells are work- ed on a more extensive scale, proves. that those who word them must con- sider their investments equi lly as profitable as that invested in any other enterprises ; and that if the Exeter well were run, backed with a little more energy, it would stand as good a chance, and would cope favorably with any of the above • mentioned wells, from any point of view, more especially in qualify of salt. As is done in the case of other wells let the Company put the sale of the article, at a consis.ently high commission, into the hands of some popular wholesale grocery firm, and have the salt sold throughout the Provinces.

And yet, in the face of these facts, Commercial Unionists tell the Can- adian farmer that by the bringing about of their fad, his condition will be bettered, and that it will be the means of considerably enhancing the price of the cereals and products of his farm ; and as proof for their con tentions they point to the former reciprocity tY treaty with the United States. The simple removing of the duty on the articles of the Canadian farmer going into the. United States at that time, was not the cause of the high prices then existing. The reciprocity treaty with the United States began in 1854, and we might ask what was transpiring in Europe at that .time ? The ans wer is simple.
