And titer 1 1 `1. l t fore for the benefit of onr riumor'ot readers we have thought well to tab late a few of the leading. facts and fig tires culled from the latest authuritis returns to Parliament. It is passin strauu•e that the National Policy shout come ir, for such a measure of uriticis and abuse. from Opposition member simply because it was a Liberal•Cor seryative measure. Had it been bantling of the Grit party, full justic would have been aceorded to Its meri The two principal features of the N. e• -which ought recommend its ac 5 t o' . ceptance to every lover of his couutr -are (1) the number of industrial es tablishments encouraged by its pro teetive policy, together with a vast in crease in, the number of our peopl employed as factory hands; and (2) wider extension of oma home marke 3or the benefit of the farming commuu 1ty: 'Now, let us look calmly at a fe facts: hi 1892 Canada produced uncle the protective system of the N P. clos -upon $170,000,000 (in round numbers worth of manufactured goods over and above what was produced in 1881; the same year the number of hand employed in manufacturing establish ments exceeded the number employed in 1881 by about 11.8,000 operatives there werein operation last year it Canada over 25,840 factories more that what existed in 1881; of exports of mat Eve manufactured goods in 1891 there was an excess of nearly $55,000,000 worth above those of 1878, when the Grits were in power, -and this in ad- dition to a greatly increased home • market. ,Then look at our home mar- ket, the benefits of which have been largely reaped by our farmers without sending their products out of the ccun try; we find that during. 1891 over and above what was consumed in home manufactures in 1878 we have an ex- cess of nearly $158,000,000. Our peo- ple benefited by the National Policy to that extent, because foreign goods were thus displaced by home 'menu: factures, Again -the Canadian farm - en sreaped : the benefit of the duty placed on corn, wheat and oats to the extent of 12,000,000 bushels; while on thearticles of pork, beef and mutton. 15,000,000 pounds of American pro. ducts were shut out by the govern rnent's protective policy. In one year alone, the result of protection to our farmers yielded them a million dollars more than they had before, owing to the imposition of duty on American meats. Another direct result of the N 1'. is a reduction in the cost of living, You can buy to 25 pounds of,gran- lated sugar, when in 1878 only 8 or 10 pouuds could be purchased for the same money. So of tea, cottons, Hall nels, woollen goods, etc., -all of. Which can be had at greatly reduced prices compared with 1878. Then, if we look at the value of farms -about which so munch has been said, as if any Govern- ment were to blame for depreciation in the price of farm lands -we find, ac' cording to the Ontario Bureau of Stat: istics (prepared under the supervision of the Mowat administration), that, not -withstanding there was a shrinkage in the value of farm lands, owing to.. the remoyal' of many of our young farmers to Manitoba said the North West Terri tory,-vet-in Ontario farmers were holding their own; so much so that while in 1882 the returns show farm buildings to have been valued at $182,- 000,000, in 1890 they were valued at $1921,000,000. harm implements are reported to Le 25 per cent: c'eeaper to day than in 1878-9; and live stock are put down in value to day at $103,000 ,ea against $85,000 in the great 1882 "t'aking the livestnek, farm irnple tments, btlildings, anti fame in Ontario the Bureau of Stittistn.s officially prepared by 114r.

Meeting of the South Huron Meeting (ioiiserya tit ves, On Friday of last week a meting of 'the Conservatives of the South Riding was held in IIetisall. Though the weather was most inclement, and 'the roads very bad, prominent members of the party were -present from all parts of the Riding. The'uteeting was the largest, most una nnous and most un thusiastic dist has taken place in the history of the party in S. 1-luron, Evi• dontly the candidate, kir D. Weismiller is a popular•. one. Mr. Weismiller is a German, a genial fellow and possessed of indomitable pluck and energy. He has foughthis way up to a top place in his commercial pursuits, and earned for himself an irreproachable name for honesty and 'iuteg•ity. While in his native tongue, German, he is a talented speaker Mr, Weisliuller has acquired a fluency and practicability in English just sufficient toma make him a most pleasant speaker He will make a strong all roturd candidate and hard to beat. Mr; Weisnritler addressed the meeting at length. He said , he had much' praise for Mr. Mowat's little act of loyality in dismissing Elgin Meyer, but great disgust for Oliver's white washing annexationist, Hardy. It. would be, he said a case of dog eat dog if Mowat dared attack. It was a ques- tion if Hardy .had not already: begun gobbling Oliver, be that as it may, Mowatt dared not dismiss 'Hardy for utterances ten •times more disloyal, and traitorous than were the uttera,n ces of Meyers, Sir Oliver said Mr. Weismiller had been particularly kind 'to himself and his family, - IIe had given the best office in the gift of the Province to his beardless son Fred,who had drawnout of the pockets of the hard-working people -of Ontario the sum of $42,000 in about five 'years- and in return Mr. Fred Mowatt had. rendered the people of this Province the important service of driving "tan dem" to his office with his coachman and footman twice a day when he mane aged to spend half an hour• possibly smoking ten cent cigars, while a clerk whom he paid $1200 a year performed all the duties of the office. But then, Mr Weismiller said, Mr. Mowatt is a righteous man., ' Mr, Weismiller scored the government of Oliver Mowatt on its boasted surplus, and asked why, if such surplus existed, they bled the municipalities of their life blood, why they sacrificed our timber, why they had resorted to taxing the estate of de- ceased -persons, He reminded his hear- ers that the tax gatherers were creat ures of the Mowatt government, point- ed out the wretched state of our Mun icipal law through the blundering leg- islation of Mowatt. He "roasted" Sir Oliver on his . "tap funds" : his gerrymander of the Province and his refusal to give the electors a secret ballot. Mr. Weismiller's address was cheered to the echo. After speeches from Dr. Rollins, Gen. Jackson; L. 11 Dickson and Dr. Bethune the business of the meeting was taken up, John Torrance, President in the chair. A constitution and by laws for the Asso dation was submitted and adopted. The following officers elected: -John Torrance, Pres; Geo.
