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

to legislate against Canadian inter

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

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
