"There is;' argued this honest Reformer, '''greater profit in a home market for our produce thau In wading it to a distance in search of a market. But to have a home market we must have population. N.,w, the best means to secure this is to encourage home manufactures by protection, which will make prtssl•erous cities, towns aud vil- lages, and the farmer, mechanic and mauufacturer can rejoice to- gether. But open the doors free to the American rings, combines, syn- dicates and monopolies. and our manufacturing industries will close, oarcitles will decay. our towns be- come deserted, and our villages wiped out or eshstenee, and the Americans would laugh at the down- fall 4 our country." NOTES AND G O.MMENTS. Erastus Wilmot, speaking in New York Saturday, said that the result of the election on Thursday it. South Vie- toria was a blow between the eyes for unrestrieted reciprocity. He acknow- ledges that his followers bad agreed that the election should be taken as a test of the feeling in Canada either for or against unrestricted reciprocity or coutntercitl union. +1+ After the first of January next the stipends and salaries of clergymen and ministers of religion, and parsonages or dwellings nceupied by theta, with the bud ate tehed there"t-,, shell be 1i this to assessment for municipal purposes, in the same manner and to the same ex- tent as the ins ant's, dwt'llinl s and pro- perty of tither pkatese.

But we are not obliged to have free trade or commercial union with then), or indeed any other treaty, as we have a better market far our products than they could possibly give ua, and we are beginning to use it to good advantage. The sur- plus farm production of the Domin- ion is about $155,000,000, and of this our home markets absorb Sx io,oao,000, or 73 per cent ; Great . Britain, $2.3,000,000, or 15 percent, and the United States px5,000,000 or 10 per cent. Then we have other countries where we are opening up a large and profitable trade—the West India trade for instance. On October 14 last there were lying at Halifax, to be shipped to Trinidad, 40 carloads of merchandise, con- sisting of horses, oats, potatoes, cheese, butter, beans, dry goody, medicines, glass, varnish, paper and woadenware, organs and pianos, boots and shoes, wire mattressess, tinware and other articles, includ ing the Manitoba exhibit. In fact, there is a vast trade opening there. In return we will receive their pro- ducts, consisting of sugar, molasses, fruits—indeed nearly all tropical products we require. We are exporting to Great Britain about .6,5o0,000 worth of cattle, and about $g,000,000 worth of cheese, while the Americans are paying us only $4,500,000 for bar- ley, for whioh we might have re- ceivdd $xo,000,000, it we had the British market, and grew what they required, viz., two -.rowed barley. The British market can also be used for our peas, . fruit, butter, bacon, eggs, etc., which are meeting with good remunerative prices. And if we were. raising good, heavy white oats suitable for the British market, we would not be receiving, as we now are, Duly about an average of 3o cents, but a much higher price. But let us o ce open our ports free to American oats, which are at present worth inllatn- sas about q•cents per bushel ; low.a 16 cents ; [llinois, 16 cents; and other states in proportion, and down would come our oats far below what South Victoria has etreck with con , GOSSIP OP THE WEEK sternation the Canadian Wimanites. To palliate their defeat, they whiningly THE HANGING OF ARTHUR HOYT plead that the result was obtained by DAY AND REMI LAMONTAGNE- "foul means. They are barking up the wrong tree, It was not Conserva- tives who hied to delude the farmers by dishonestly offering then, prices below the market price for their poultry, on the hnendaeioes plea that this was ne- cessary under the McKinley tariff, which they mysteriously asoribed to Sir John Macdonald, In Toronto and other places, where these tricksters have been exposed, poultry brings as high prices as in the two preceding years. •i- 1. ,t - In order to get a slap at the 17.

One of the axedt difficult problems connected with the tauencial stringency in the United States was how to account for the disappearance of the ono hun- dred millions of dollars paid out by the national treasury during the last nine- teen months. Thts money did not go into the banks, nor ct.uld it be shown that it was absorbed as currency. What, then bee•une of it t An answer appears to have been found at last to this question. It is stated that a num- ber of great money kings scented the coming of the financial crisis and took measures to secures themselves against all risks. Instead of allowing their cash to remain in the banks they quietly withdrew it realized wherever they could, and placed the money in trust vaults, Jay Gould alone, it is stated, had between eleven and twelve millions in actual hard cash thus laid away. He had as much more in the banks, which he could not conveniently withdraw. +*+ The killing of Sitting Bull may or may not lead to a general uprising among the rest of the Indian tribes of the United States, but latest reports are not favorable to a peaceful solution of affairs. The American ides that, "a good Indian is a dead Indian " seem to be still the highest policy of the greatest officials of the country, and everything done to exasperate the savage so that the shooting can begin and good In- dians are made wholesale by the Amer- ican soldiers' bullet. This is cruel and ungenerous treatment of the original possessors of the soil, and a disgrace to the enlightenment of a great nation and civilized government. But it looks as if the shooting was not going to be all on one side. If the despatches are true, in the first real brush, the Amer- ican regulars suffered worse tban did our Canadian volunteers in the Riel rebellion, and their loss in killed alone is more than the Canadian forces suf- fered in all of their engagements, and they had just as good shots and as brave men to fight. $$1 A cry of anguish has gone up in Bos- ton, and has been echoed in the Trans- cript of that city over the enormous rise in the price of provisions.

Three months ago po tatoes sold in Boston for ninety five cents a bushel. They now range from $1.15 lowest grade to $1.50 for the best. There is no inducement, the Transcript says, for dealers to go to the Maritime Provinces for vegetables now, for they have nothing but loss staring them ids the face. It is curious to note, in Ibis connection, that the American farmers cannot supply the demand, and also that the Americans pay the amount of duty. The few who can are bolding on for still further rise. Ege's, apples and all kinds of fruit are increased one hundred per cent in price. Poultry are sold at fancy figures. American buyers have received large consignments from Canada by themselves paying the duty of five cents per pound. The spectacle of a country like the 'United Stites unable to aupply the food requirements of one of its principal cihies, through havmg cat off supplies from this country and lack of agricultural enterprise. is simply astonishing. Evidently our neighbors have something to learn in the science of pohtical economy and government. It also settles the matter for our Reform friends that the Yankees pay the duty. NEW Morchal Taller ! MR. J. II. GRIEVE, (Late Cutter for R. Pickard) has opened out a stock of istic. Gen. Miles' men rode out to the village forty miles from the Standing Rock agency to capture him dead or alive. Despite the early hour all the redskins were astir; but the troops lost no time but sur- rounded the chief's tent and immediately took him prisoner. The proud old medi- cine man raged and sputtered in a fury for a moment, then, ztraightaning up, shouted hoarsely, not for help, but a command to his followers. Despite the threatening of the police, Winchesters being alternately directed at h;s head and those of his kins- men, the old medicine man retaiued his presence of mind, and with powerful voice continued to direct his own rescue. Sud- denly there was a puff of smoke beside a tepee, and a sharp crack of a Winchester. Raising his gaunt form, he was beckoning his sons and warriors on when, without warning, his body straightened rigidly, then drooped limp and fell on the hard prairie. not knowing for the moment but that it was a trick of the wily old chief. His son was also killed. • The last of the convicted Canadian mur- derers has been hanged, The list for the past month or so bas been a very black one.
