This surely ought to cone wince our people of the folly and infatu atiou of exchanging the present tariff for one framed at Washington.

THURSDAY, Feb. -16th` 1895. '.1RLI.A1MEN'1 TRY i)O N G9 AT OI7'A1V1. The Dominion Parliament got to work last wee'*—tho debate on the opening` speech begin Aionday, 3th int iesa1tin in a vote of 53 for Hon Mr. Laurier's amendment and 103 for• the motion submitted by the govern- ment in a thio house. Both mover and seconder were highly complimented by the Premier on their maidea speeches. Mai 142c14ierney,M. P. for Tent N.13., who moved the reply to the Gov -General's opening speech, bids fair to be a valu- able acquisition to the clebatlnet talent of the house, The Hon, Mr. Foste]'s reply to Sir Rich Cartwright's gloomy outlook is considered by the friends of government as oue of the ablest speech es e, er delivered by that gentlemen in ;Parliament. Ilis'answers to theblue. e• ruin wailin„a of the member for South Oxford were both eloquent and crush. ing. The "Exodus" crywas fairly met a and answered by retorting upon the opposition that it really began under the grit regime of 1875-8, .when no provision was made for employing our artisans and laborers as has since been done under the National Policy—and when the people were burdened with heavy taxation on all articles of house- hold consumption, without the iudustri al establishments fostered by the N. P. to meet the necessities of life. Another fact brought out by the Finance minis- ter was the displacement of population as evidenced in the neighboring re- pwherehStates had re- public, the Eastern Sa been decimated by their people going out West to take up land is newer and more fertile regions.As in the Unit- ed States, so in Canadathe rural popu- Iation has also been decreased by a rush into the cities, to obtain employ- ment in factories and other industrial establishments. But, as Hon. Mr. Fos- ter contended, the return of the Con- servative party to power had changed the, whole .condition of things, by in- augurating a policy for protecting our native industries and giving employ- ment to thousands of people who would` otherwise have swelled the exodus of previous years. Then, the opening up of the great North West by the con struction of the C. P. R.. had another restraining infiuence in checking the exodus of our people to the U. S., so that not only our ` young men from Ontario and the Maritime Provinces journeyed West to improve their pros- pects; but now we find that the tables are turned and numbers of whole fami. lies from the Western States—from Da- kota,, Iowa. Michigan, Montana, and elsewhere are finding their way into the fertile regions of our Canadian . N W. territory. Such is the "exodus'' towards the North of the international line that our neighbors to the south are becoming alarmed, and are actually using this as an argument for annex- ing Canada in order to save the people The truth is the state .cry of a Canadi an exodus is kept up by the leaders of the opposition because they had no pol- icy to offer but that of Continental unity and free trade, on which they hope to ride back to power; hence they try to fortify their position by profess sing to make it appear that the coun- try under Conservative rule is going. to the dogs. As was shown by the Fin- ance Minister, in the United States there has been a marked depletion of population—and that in a country where they have had a highly protec tiye tarritf, How then would free trade help us in Canada? Had free trade save& the people of the United King. dom from commercial depression, and depreciation in farm lauds? The mortgage indebtedness of farms . in most of the United States is of such a thieatening aspect that Commissioners have been appointed in different states toinquire into its cause and devise Some remedy. The Hon, Finance Min ister concluded an able and exhaus- .3ive speech by showing that the far- mers of the Dominion are in a better einaneial condition than for twenty years past, and vastly better off than the same class in. the neighboring re xublic'or in many other countries. He contrasted the position of this country now with the state of things under_ the Mackenzie regime, when deficits were piled up and nothing was done towards decreasing taxation—when there was Baa National Policy to give employment to our operatives --when the people vete taxed for thetr tea, coffee, sugar, etc., other necessaries of life, to an amount that (were the former policy iaontinued) woiilcl not be yielding many millions of dollars annually into the revenue; whereas the average,/ter cent. age on all dutiable goods" was now oily Kirkton . On Saturday afternoon last, the re- mains of the late Mrs. Steele, beloved wife of. Rev, H. Douglas Steele, Iucum bent of St. Paul's church,Kirktou, were followed to the cemetery be a large concourse of friends, both from Kirk - ton and Biddulph. Impressive services were conducted by Rev. F. R. Ghent, of Granton, and Rev Mr. Hutton, Metho- dist minister at Kirkton,-the burial service •of the church of I+lu„landsbeing read by Rev. F F. H. Fatt, of. Exeter. USbol'ne.. TllomAs fiALniAzi.—The subject of this brief sketch who departed this life on the 8th of Feb'y 1893, was a natiye of England, where he was from on the 7th Dec. 1817, and had therefore, at the time of his death,reached the good old age of 75,ears and 2 months. In the year 1840 Mr Batman married Mary Hooper and six years afterwards, with his faithful wife and three' small ehildren, emigrated to Canada, settling in Usborne, on the farm upon which he lived continously until death. Some forty-six years, a resident of Usborne: Deceased was oue of the landmarks of the early struggles of pioneer's life in the township. One by one the mile stones are being pissed and very soon the sod will hide forever those whose brawny sinews did so much to hew out pleasant homes for the succeeding gen. eration. Mr, Balman's father was a man of considerable means and hence the son found it a heavy task battling with the giants of our Canadian forest neyertheless a good home was provid ed, which, now the last link is broken, the children will sadly ntiss,as the home gatherings and father's glad and bear ty welcome was always looked forward to by them as every family would, among whom thefatnily ties were so strong. Deceased who wa genial, ti . g D >i ge , company loving disposition was sick about four weeks with congestion of the lungs resulting in heart failure, and although all that loving hands could do was done he was called as above dated to join his partner in life who preceded him thither. the 22nd Aug. 1889. Six daughters and one son, all married, remaiu to mourn the loss of an indulgent father The; re• mains were interred in the Exeter Cepa etery on the 'Sunday following his death, the funeral cortege was very large, some ninety five vehicles being in the procession, thus the people testi- fied their respect for the deceased.

We have frequently been spoken to on the subject of conversion by persons who claim to have suddenly reached a high standard of moral excellence; but we never witnessed a hasty growth in mor al excellence that was substantial and permanent. We believe that charac- ter unfolds in accordance with the laws which govern 'physical -growth. That which is stable, enduring, .thoroughly sound is of slow development.

Thoroughness in study demands time. ' The well grounded scholar is he who laboriously acquires the deep sig niticance of principle after principle and mounts step by step toward his ob- ject. So, too, moral growth is no easy rapid transition, but a matter of care- ful, earnest, and sometimes, painful eulture. It is no easy task to eradi- cate tendencies to irregularity and im propriety of thought and action, to wend out old habits born of convention and sensual' indulgence, The youth has enough to do usually in combating baneful characteristics inherited with his likeness to father or mother, and does well if year by year he indicates a close approach to a consistent and noble integrity. But he who has grown up in habits which; man both heart and body finds the work of reform in him- self one which, at first tries all his pow - ern and whatever there is of improve rnent seenmstheslowproduct -of mess ant struggle, His reward is greater fin illy; for as the giant oak has be, cordo more, deeply looted, because of TE VEST GROCERIES!
