The 13ushel of Wheat.
Cheap as the bushel of wheat
is, it will do more for the farmer
to -day than did in 1878. It will
go further towards paying for his
reaping machine to -day than it
would in '78 ; it will pay a larger
proportion of the price of his mow-
ing machine now than it would
then ; it will pay as great a part
of the price of his waggon now as
it would then ; the same with the
price of his buggy ; it will buy far
more sugar to -day than it would in
'78, and far more cotton ; it will go
further in paying for a suit of
clothes now than it wobld then;
it will buy a better spade, a better
scythe, a better pitchfork to day
than it would in '78 ; it will go as
lar in paying for his horse -rake
and will buy twice as many hand -
rakes now as it would then; it will
buy rnore nails and go further to-
wards paying his shoemaker's bill,
arid will buy a better undershirt
to day than it would then; it will
do more towards paying for Ms
wheelbarrow, and it will buy a
better washtub in 1895 than it
would in 1878 ; it will go a great
dea/ further towards paying for his
set of harness and will buy more
wooden pails to -day than it would
then ; it will to -day buy more coffee
and twice as much tea as it would
then ; it will buy a .better axe, a
better pair of overalls, more fruit
jars and more starch than it would
in'78. In a word, although the
opening up of the fertile fields of
India, South A.merica, the Western
States and our own Northwest has
brought down the price of the
farmer's bushel of wheat, the
prices of almost everything he has
to buy have been reduced in a
still greater ratio by the keen com-
petition in the manufacture of the
same, in our own country, under
the benign influence of the Nation-
al Policy.
Free Trade vs. Protection.
To clearly understand the 'nark-
ed difference between Pree Trade
and Protection in their application
to the laboring and middle classes
in Great Britain and Canada, and
especially how they effect the
earnings of these people, let us ex-
amine the English customs' reports
for tile year 1893, the last year
published:
Whole amount collected from
customs $98,000,000
Amount collected from To-
bacco .$60,620,000
Amount collected from Tea 16,996,000
Amount collected from Coffee 865,000
Amount collected from Wines 6,340,000
$74,8207000
Now, none of these articles are
produced in England, and, with
the exception of wines, are all
pratthcally necessaries of life; the
toiling millions of England must
and will have them, and by these
people are con sumer] tht3 greater
part of the articles enumerated
above. In other words, under a
Free Trade tariff.these few articles,
consumed nmetly by the labouring
classes of England, pay $74,820,
000 out of $98,o0o,000 -more than
three-fourths of all the customs
duties.
The Canadian laborer pays no
duty on lea or coffee and aerie on
tabaoco orwines produced at home.
Linder' such citcumstances, we
imagine that he does not long for
"Free Trade as they have it in
England."

Tnesday morning beggars desoriptiou
s:nd oan be better imagmed. Mr. and
Mrs. F, J. Devis lived happily in a
neat residence on the townhhe of Us -
borne and Biddulph, at the foot of the
4th and 5th concessions of the .lormer
township, Theyhad been married
but a few Months, Mrs. Davis being a
&melte, of Robert Ureery, Esq., of
Usborne, and Mr. Davis, a son
of Francia Davis, Esq., of Bid-
dulph, and had bright prospects
before them. Monday night they re-
tired a little later than usual, several
friends having spent the evening in
social chat, Mr. and Mrs. Davis being
general favorites in the neighborhood.
They slept) soundly until about roiclock
Tuesday morning, when Mrs. Davis
aroused her husband, telling him that
the house was on fire. They quickly
sprang out of bed, and Mr. Davis
seizing bis wife carried her to the head
of the stairs but being overcome with
smoke and leahe was forced to re-
lease his grasp, instructing her to follow
him. He proceeded through the
flames and bursting open the frout
door, fell faint upon the ground. He
soon recovered himself, avd finding
that his wife had failed to follow, Mr.
Davis, wild with excitement, rushed
into the house, and after burning the
hair off his bead was forced to retreat.
Her remains were found ameng the
ashes under the spot where her husband
left her she =at have fainted.
He gave the alarm as quickly as he
could, and by the time his brother, who
lives a few rods away, reached the
scene, the building was enveloped in
flemes, with all ingress or egress cut off.
and nothing could be done to save ehe
woman or any of the household goods.
All Mr. Davis was heard to exclaim, as he
rushed to his father's for some cloth-
ing, haying escaped only with his life,
was, ',The house is on fire and dear
Adeline is in it."
The origin of the flee is a mystery,
unless it resulted flom a defective
chimney. When they retired, as was
his custom, Mr. Davis, secured the one
stove in which had been a fire. Not
an article was saved,and besides the loss
of the•furniture, which was all nes,
a large array of wedding gifts and a
considerable sum of volley and a num-
ber of valuable papers were burned.
There is a small insurance in the 'Os-
borne & Hibbert Company.
The charred remains of the unfortun-
ate woman not burned to ashes were
gathered up after ehe fire and placed in
a coffin; a quad measure would hold
them all. They were taken to the resi-
dence of her father, Mr Robert Creery,
near Winchelsea and on Wednesday
interred in the Ieirkton cemetery.
A gloom has been cast over the entire
township. and the husband and family
of .the former Miss Oreery, have receiv-
ed a shock, frone which they will not
soon recoYer.
