The ail -important meeting in Lon, ,don, Eng., of the Chambers of .0om• raeree Congrees has come and gone - but not so its wide -spread influence 'throughout the length and breadth of the British Empire. That Congress as ablY represented by not on ly Brit- leb. but Colonial Chambers of Commer- in which Canada figured as one of the chief factors. Our High Commiss:- ioner, Sir Charles Tupper, whose un- ceasing activity in the interests of Can ..ada is proverbial, and whose ability is ecognized in the highest political and commercial circles, both at home and abroad, presented the whole ,question ,of British and Colonial tariffs a,nd of free trade versus protection in such a manner as to command the earnest attention of all the outlying portions of the Empire as well as England itself One of the chief points argued by the High Commissioner was the necessity of some modification of the free trade feeling' of Great Britain, and the ad- option of a productive system of trade so far as self-preservatien of Imperirl interests was concerned. The argu- ment used by some members of the 'Conference who zesisted any changes of commercial policy was that England bad prospered under free trade. To this Sir Charles Tupper replied that she had prospered, not because of free trade, but in spite of it ;and he pointed -out that the revival of trade between 1856 Arai 1870 was owing largely to other causes -such as the gold. dis- coveries in Australia, to colonization, to the rapid development of steam by land and sea, and also to the lack of bigh protective duties in foreign count ries. But as to the latter point, all that was being changed. Germany and Belgium had prospered under pro tection: so had the United States, in the face of that great civil war which cost that country so much blood and treasure. Other foreign countries were now putting on high protective -duties, and thus shutting the door a• 0-ainst Brttish manufacturers. "Sir Charles also pointed. out the position of Canada before the National Palley was 'initiated. He very properly remarks •that in 1878 "We were at the feet of the United States; we with ,our enor mous territory, with as great a portion of North America as that which be longs to the United States; with mag nificent resources -so magnificent that I have no hesitation in saying that they excite the envy and the cupidity •of Our neighbors to the South of us - we were .paialyzed. Every industry was being driven to Boston or New York. We were piling up deficits in- stead of surpluses. But what have we done under this new policy? The co- untey has been revived, its industries re-established, and Canada became in a position to take in hand and to sue- cessfully grapple with one of the most gigantic works which the world has ever seen." Facts and figures were then aclduced,to prove that since the adoption of a protective policy by Ger- many and Belgium those foreign count ries had gained a commercial advant- age over Britain, owing to the favored afation clause in the treaty; and. cell - sequently that the balance of trade was now against England. But that if a moderate duty, say 5 per. cent, were p'aced by Britain on foreign breadstuffs-while admitting the pro- . ducts of the Colonies free on certain recriprecal and preferential advant- ages given to England --the result would be an enerrnous increase of trade between the different members of the Empire, and a restoration of the 'balance of tradein favor of the mother eountry. The only taugible reason brought forward on the other side was the possible increase, in the price of breadstin to the, people of the United Kingdom. But the evideoce afforded by the tariffi ef, tee other countries showed nork; ill 1V10.)

Minerals aud other immense natural resources. The recent move of Cong- ress, in the shape of Canal aggressions, and that with the entire sanction of the Presideut, is another proof (were proofs wanting) of the fixed reselve on the part of the American authorities to legislate against Canadian inter es ts. Then it is clearly our duty and onr interest as• citizens of a United British Empire to resist the discrimin- ating policy of the Republic, and a spirit of self-respect to stand nobly in one own defence. TJIE MAINTITOBA SCROOL ACT. Among the latest items of news from England is that.of an important dee- ision of the Privy Council on the con- stitutionality of the Manitoba School Ad. The effect of this decision is tO overturn the ruling of our Supreme Court in Canada, and to uphold the provincial act of Manitoba which leg- islated against the allowance of Sepen. ate Schools in the Province. Whether rightly or wrongly,there is little doubt but that the decision of the judicial Comraittee he followed by serious consequencee, Involving a large a- mount of friction as between the pro- testant and Iice"than' Catholic elements in the Dominion, And it will require the greatetStprndence, and a large amount eflorbearance on the part of the two religious committees, to steer safely through the complications that are likely to•alise out of the recent the one hand, it will be contended that the Queen's represent, a tive cannet With becoming propriety fly in the face' of the decision; neither will.it•be: prepticable for the Dondition dOieinitallit.to'pass a "rem- edial law," and foree seperate schools on an unwilling. province. On. the other hand; it will be contended with equal justice that the Province of Man itoba was a creation of the Dominion Parliament, Whieh is responsible fee the right of eppealeasellfarther,.thanwhen, Manitoba became part of the Dominion it was adraittecrintO Union subject to such remedial legislation as might be fo und necessary regarding the public schools. The Ac of Confed.eration, which was most carefully drawn, pro vided for the admission of other out- lying Provinces and Territories; and when in 1670 Manitoba was admitted into the Union, and became equally interested with the older provinces in the matter of education, it was wed - known that there existed in what was Shen called Rupert's Land French Cath olic as well as Protestant Schools. And, as pointed oat by a distinguish ed legal authority, the legislation of. Manitoba inserted into its constitutioo as a province a clause in which it was provided t4at,',.,Nothit g in this act shall prejudicially effect any right or privilege with respect to denomination al sehools' which any class of persons have by mw or practice in the Prov- ince at the Union." From that time down to 1890, a period of twenty years the rights and privileges of denominat- ional schools weep, ;,upheld; and pre, eticably the mile: difference existing in the school system was between Protest ants and Roman Catholics, Had the existing state of - things previous to 1890 beenallowed to continue; we never should haye heard of legal con- tention or of appeals to the higher courts in,Canada er..England; and the result Would have been that, as in the older provinces, so in Manitoba, each of the two,religious 13oclies would have eujoyecl their seperate pri i,ileges for educatiotiel purposes, and all would have lived together in harmony and good will, .01,4071 14 It must- be VI.

There has been a great deal of talk during the past few weeks about the ruinous prices paid by the farmers here for binder twine compared with the prices of the United States. The down -trodden fernier here was repres- ented as crawling in the dust, while his aristocratic brother across the lines drove his coach and pair, all as a, res- ult of the difference in the prices of binder twine, indeed it was the stock in trade of certain politicians on the stump during the late bye elettioes, What are the facts to 'Let us hear what three residents of Usborne discovered for themselves on the 45h instwhile on the excursion to Sarnia on that date. These three persons -.vent across to Port Huron and enquired into She matter. • It was found ,ithat the three chief brands of twine used there retailed there at 12,i, 1842, and 14ctse while in Sarnia the enices were 10, 1.1 and 12kcts. for the same or a superior article. Silver CompOsite or Jute sold in Port Huron at 9 and Wets while in Sarnia it was sold at 8 and 4,cts. The obliging merchant in Port Huron volunteered the further infor- mation that twine was much cheaper in Canada than in the United States. The people who try to deceiye farmers by such fabrications as we have been listening to during the past few months or a year are the same class of individ- uals who practice the seed wheat and ornamental tree swindles. The above fact can be verified by any who take the trouble to enquire for themselves, and go to show to what ends some peo- ple who have axes to grind will go in order to make, a point and decry their own country. The large fair poster issued by the Western Fair Association of Louden, which is being posted up throughout Ontario, calling the attention of the public geneeally to the dates on which this greatest of Canadian Live Stock, Agricultural Industrial Exhibitions will be held this year, namely,'September 15th to 2410. One of the principal objects of the Di- rectors being to educate the masses and stimulate them to higher eines and nobler efforts, and make this Fair bigger, ()Tender and .better than any of its predecessors, which is possible if the proper interest is taken by the Breeders and Agricultutaltsts of this highly favored country. They enjoin upon intending exhibi• Ors to begin early to prepare for the Fah, and make their exhibits as com- prehensive as possible. Champion specimens of every pure breed of animals, of which Canada is noted, will beat the Exhibition. Well arranged stables. stalls and pens have been provided. for their accommodat- imT.Lhe commendable zeal of the Direc- tors and others, together with the in- crease of $2,000.00 in this year's Prize List, is an assurance that she Western Fair of 1892 will beat all former eehe bitions The Directors reeognize the feet that the :Western Fair should always be in the lead as an Agricultural show, at the same time look to .it that the amusements and Special Attraetions for the pleasure of exhibitors, should not be lacking and have, at great ex- pense secured 801310 01 the beSb that eau be had.
