NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The National Policy aims at keeping
ourownmarkets for our own producers.
• x
Protection builds up industries and
these create a demand for the farmers'
produce.
x + x
A tariff should be maintained to keep
out the products of cheap foreign
labor.
-i• i- These are only a few of the things
done by the Conservative Govern-
ment for the benefit of the farmer.
• x
Canada should work up its own raw
materials, and allow nothing to be im-
ported that canoe produced forherself.
This is the object of the National Policy.

Three men from Ottawa on their
way to Milwaukee, Wis., were compel-
led to return to this country by Im-
migrant Inspector McGlogan, of De-
troit. Two of the men claimed they
were going to Milwaukee on a visit,
while the other stated that lie had
worked in that city: for the past four
years, and had a child buried there.
Customs Officer Drouillard took the
evidence of the men and will forward
it to the Canadian Government.
All lesser political influences like the
Catholic vote and the Orange vote will
be swallowed by the bicyelevotewhich
is growing up in this country. The
bicycle vote has just fought a
pitched battle with railway influence
at Albany, and won. The railways
agreed upon regulations depriving the
bicyclist of his right to have his wheel
checked just as Ins trunk was checked.
The bicyclist united in an appeal to
the Legislature, and the Senate and
the Assembly by almost a unanimous
vote answered the appeal with a law
which compels the railway companies
to carry bicycles as personal baggage.
In order to cheer up Mr. Laaurier's
unhappy followers, the Globe has de-
voted a. good deal of space of late to
dilating upon the brightness of the
party's prospects in Manitoba and the
North-West. Its observations do not
seem to bane been altogether satisfac-
tory, for the Winnipeg Free Press al-
ludes to them as follows : — The
Globe's zeal as a party organ is run-
ning away with it. Outhere in West-
ern Canada we may not be as wise as
the Toronto paper. We think, how-
ever, that we understand what our
own interets are quite as well as it
does; a large proportion of ns, indeed,
will go further, and say better. But
bettor or worse, or as much, we choose
for ourselves, and we resent the impu-
tation of the organ when it implies
that we are fools for our pains,"

Last week's riotous proceedings in
Parliament, while disgraceful to Can-
ada, were especially so to the Opposi-
tion leaders, by whom in reality they
were organized and conducted. That
there is any precedent for them is al-
together to be doubted. The nearest
on record in this Dominion is that fur-
nished in 1885, when the Liberals,
smarting because the franchise law,
then under consideration, proposed to
spoil their conspiracy to defraud the
electorate through the local voters
lists .manipulated by the Provincial
-Governments, thought they could wear
it John Macdonald out, or talk him
into his grave. But in that case the
business of obstruction was conduct-
ed with a degree of respectability al-
together wanting in the present in-
stance. There was less of calumny
than prevailed during last week's ex-
hibition, and although some of the
iberals rehearsed voluminous ex-
racts to spin out the time, nobody
rought . in the Scriptures, as Mr.
Charlton did the other day, to read
hem kr the ribald amusement of Mr.
Iartin? and Mr. McMillan. On the
hole, there was very little slander,
d no blasphemy.

An anti -treating law, such as that
'used in Ohio, Wright be enacted in
:ntario and do match to stop the eon-
' ial drinking which ruins the men
ho are best worth saving. Temper -
/ice people ought to awaken to the
uth that they can best serve their
use by proceeding one step at a time,
y lessening the opportunities for the
anufacture of drunkards without
espassing upon the privileges of those
ho drink because they really want'to
rink. The treating system should be
bolished either by law or practice.
aaiadians have no natural frugality
protect them against the evils of
treating habit. They might well
u from the Scotch who, in the
ments of the most exalted con -
'Malay? propose to promote good
owsbip . strictly on business prin-

ess ...allures. In the year end-
ing 30th ,, une, 1874, the last year that
the Co• iservativepartywas responsible
to t he country priorto 1878 thefailures
-mounted to seven and a half million
dollars. In 1875, the very first year
wader Reform rule, the failures reached
the highest amount in the history of
the country, twenty-eight and a -half
million dollars, nearly four times as.
much as the year before. The lowest
amount in any year during the regime
was twenty-four millions and a half,
and the average under Reform ad-
ministration was twentysix and a
half million dollars. In 1880, the first
year in which the beneficial effect of
the National Policy, inaugurated by
the Conservative party, was felt, con-
fidence was again restored in the
country, and the failures were reduced
to eight million dollars. Since that
time, although Canada incommon with
other countries, bas passed through a
season of the greatest commercial de-
pression the world has ever known,
the average amount of the failures for
the fifteen years has been only thirteen
million dollars, as against an average
of twenty-six and a half million dollars
during the period in which the country
was under Reform Government. In
this, as in every other branch of the
statistical records of the country, there
is indisputable evidence that the policy
of the Reform party was ruinously de-
trimental to the best interests of the
country.
A similar result may be seen in the
''nited States, where the two great
political parties are divided on much
the same lines as regards their com-
mercial policy as the Conservatives
and Reformers in this country, In
making the comparison it should be
remembered that the policy of the
Democratic party is Free Trade and
tariff for revenue only, the same as
that of the Reform party here. They
made great promises before the elect-
ion of 1892, just as the Reform party of
this country did in 1873, andmuch was
expected of them. They were elected
on the strength of the benefits that
were anticipated from the policy they
bad promised to bring into effect, be-
ing in this respect in exactly the same
position as the Reform Government of
1874-78. The result wasthe same there
as here. The failures amounted to only
one hundred and eight and a. half
million dollars in 1892, and the very
first year the Democratic party, the
party of free trade and tariff for res
venue only were in power, the failured
increased to four hundred andtwo and
a half million dollars. There as in
Canada,. under afree trade and tariff
for revenue Government, in the first
year afteethe affairs ofthecountrycame
under the ir control, the failures increas-
ed tofour timesasreticle astheywerethe
year previous. Thepeople of theUnited
States followed the same course as we
in this country did in 1878; they took
the first opportunity to elect a Republi-
can majority in favor of protection to
Congress and to the ;Senate. Confi-
dence was again restored there as in
Canada in 187e, and the number of
failures was inunediately reduced and
now amounts to no more than they
did previous to the change above
noted.

General Eiections.
Ottawa, April 21.—(Special)—The
nominations for candidates in the com-
ing general elections for the Commons
have been fixed for Tuesday, June 9,
and the elections will take place on
Tuesday, June 16.
By universal consent Sir Charles
Tupper will be Premier, and when he
takes hold a considerable change in
the personnel of the Ministry may be
expected from Ontario. A well-in-
formedpolitician saidto-night he would
not be surprised if Chief Justice Mere-
dith, Hon. Geo. A. Kirkpatrick, Col;
Tisdale or Hon. Peter White were
brought in, while from Quebec the
names of Sir A. Lacoste, Sir' Hector
Langevin; Lieut. -Governor Chapleau
and Provincial Secretary Pelletier, are
mentioned. Some politicians incline
to the belief, that neither Lieut. -Gov-
ernor Chapleau or Chief Justice Mere-
dith will enter Federal politics until
the school question is disposed of. As.
for Hon. Peter White, it is generally
conceded that he could only accept a

Government modified. The name of
' Mr. Hugh John Macdonald finds great
acceptance in Conservative circles, in
the event of Mr, Daly retiring. Mr.
Macdonald, however, is known to be
reluctant to re=enter politics.
The Canadian Government has pro-
tected the products of the farm from
outside competition,preserved and built
up abomemar17%tworth many millions
of dollars annually, arranged the tar -
riff so that the necessaries of life are
nearly all admitted free, whilst the
taxation on food and animals which
the [farmer raises himself and which
he does not require to purchase if he
does not wish to, is imposed for his
protection so that he virtually pays no
tax on necessaries, 'while the average
duty on luxuries and articles of volun-
tary use is 50p. c., thus making the tax
on the farmer as light as possible
while the rich man has to bear the
burden and pay about eighty-five per
cent of the taxes. Out of the revenue
raised in this way the Government has
constructed railways and canals at a
large cost, in order toprovide facilities
to enable the farmerto get his produce
to market as cheaply as possible, while
in the seyeral states of the union and
of other countries this is done by direct
taxation.
In addition to this the Govern-
ment is doing what it is not for any
other industry :—By establishing ex-
perimental farms at a large cost, on
which experts are made to test what
are the best grains, grasses and fruits
to grow, how they can best be grown,
by what process of tillage and by use
of what manures, what are the best
classes of stock to raise, and how they
can be earliest and cheapest fitted for
the market? How best cheese and
butter can be produced,what grades of
cattle are best fitted for this purpose
and what are the cheapest and best
foods for such cattle? It sends out
free sample packages of grasses and
seeds to farmers throughout tlx
country to enable them to test new
grains, grasses, &c., for himself, and
see wkich are the best suited far this
soil.
It employs experts to ascertain dis-
eases and inspect pests which affect the
farmers' crops and live stock and what
are the best remedies and the best
preventative for them.
It publishes reportsandl0 bulleties of
the work done which are scut to every
farmer who asks, without charge.
It establishes experimental dairy
stations throughout the country and
sends around travelliug dairies to
show what appliances are needed and
what course should be followed to
obtain products of the highest grade.
It makes purchases of these high
grade products, sends agents to Eng-
Iand and elsewhere, to sell them, to
advertise their quality and enhance
their market price.
It establishes quarantine and em-
ploys agents to prevent the spread of
contagious diseases in live stock.
In order to place Canadian butter
on a better footing in the British
market, special shipments .are made
under the direction of the Dominion
Government and sold under the most
favorable conditions so that the fact
has been established that Canadian
butter can successfully compete with
the finest grades of the product of the
chief dairying countries of Europe.
There is now every proal;ect of the
butter trade of Canada becoming as
great a source of profit to the farmers
as the cheese trade. This is altogether
due to the wise action of the Dominion
Government, and Mr. Deebyshire,
president of the Ontario creamery
Association and ex -President of the
Outaro Dairymen's Association, and
others prominentlyconnected.with the
dairy industries have acknowledge in
the strongest: possible terms the great
value of the service thus rendered to
the farmers of the country.
Mr. Derbyshire says :— `•The Govern-
ment could not of wished for a more
splendid justification of its action than
the results which have farmed. Our
butter was introduced into eheEnglish
market, and its superior quality became
known. The old country buyers soon
learned that Canada could supply the
finest quality of creamery butter de-
manded,—and on the English market
it is the very best they want and are
willing to pay for, Professor Robert-
son managed the whole business very
skilfully, and last year's yenture end-
ed by costing the country very little—
a small outlay, indeed, for the opening
up of such a magnificent new market.
If it bad not been for what the Domin-
ion Government did, the butter mak-
ing business would have flattened out
and everybody connected with it
would have been discouraged. It
would have been disastrous. But now
our butter has established itself as
firmly on the English market as our
cheese has already established itself."
Steps are now being taken to do the
same for the cattle trade by arranging
for the shipment of chilled beef to be
placed in the hands of leading dealers
throughout Great Britain and labelled
as'Canadian Beef.' By this means itis
proposed to establish the special
quality of our beef, and create a'special
demand for it. $300,000 will he appro-
priated for this purposes and thercecan
be no doubt whatever of the success of
the undertaking. Provision is also be-
ing made for increased cold storage on
the Canadian steamship lines in order
that our farmers may have ample
facilities to take full advantage of the
important trade that will thus be es-
tablished.

One by one the pioneers of our
country are being removed by the

becomes our painful duty to record
the death of Mr. Charles Lovett, sr.,
of Summerhill, which :took place on
Saturday the ISth inst., at midnight,
at the ripe old age of eighty years.
The deceased had been ailing for
several years from affections of the
stomach.
On Monday eveningMrs. D. Denman
of Brussels went out to the well for a
pail of water, and while there she heard
her four year Bold daughter scream,
and on going to find the cause, she
found the child's clothing in flames,
and before she put the fire out tele child
was so badly burgled that no hopes of
recovery were held out by the doctor,
and about 10 p. m. death put an end to
the child's sufferings. It is not known
how the clothing caught fire.
Mrs. James Scott, jr., of Roxboro,
on Friday morning, passed. away. Mrs
Scott had been confined about twelve
days previously, but seemed to be gett-
ing along remarkably well. She be-
came suddenly ill, ane, despite all that
medical skillcoulddofor her, sbepassed
away. She was a young woman, being
27 years of age, and had only been
married about eighteen months. She
was a daughter of John Campbell, of
McTCiUo .
On Wednesday morning last, the
death of Mrs.. Alexander Mustard, of
Brncefield took place. Her death was
e very sudden oue. It seems that
Mr. Mustard got up about 5 o'clock
that morning, ancl, after lighting the
fire, went out to the barn to attend
to the stock. When he returned to
the house be was surprised to find that
his wife was not yet up. Upon going
to the room, his feelings may be more
easily imagined than described, upon
finding that she was still in death, and
had apparently been dead for some
time. She was a daughter of Mr. John
.1%etehen, of Stanley, and was 40 years
of age. She leaves a family of six
children, the youngest being only
about six months old.
We see from the legal intelligence
in the Toronto papers, that the action
has been decided in favor of Mrs Han-
nah. The action was brought by John
Beattie, the new assignee of the Han-
nah estate, to set aside the sale of the
two farms in Tuckersmith, made by J.
C. Smith, the former assignee of the
Hannah estate, to Mrs. Hannah. The
farms were first offered for sale by
public auction, but no one would pay
the amount of the encuumbra aces
agr;:inst the places. Subsequently, Mr.
Smith, with the consent of the inspec-
tor of the estate, sold the farms to
Mrs. Manual,, and this action was to
set aside the deed of the farms to Mrs.
Hannah. The judge dismissed the
action, on the ground that the whole
transaction was open and above board,
and that the estate of John Hannah
lost nothing by the sale to Mrs. Han-
nah.

A special session of the Perth County
Council was held Wednesday to con-
sider tenders for the House of Refuge,
to be erected at Stratford. Nearly 50
tenders were received, and that of
McBeth Bros., of Strathroy, for $14,-
268, being the lowest, they were award-
ed the contract. However, after the
council had adjourned, it was discover-
ed that 14IcBeth Bros. tender did not
include heating, as called for, so that
the matter is still in abeyance.
Another case of mysterious disap-
pearance came to light Monday noon.
Jessie Hutchinson, of Stratford, Ont.,
went to Port Huron seven weeks ago.
She left a large satchel, containing all
her clothes and valuables, in a drug
store, stating that she would be back

at police headquarters uncalled for.
Her parents in Stratford were inform-
ed of her disappearance. They have
not heard from her since. she left for
Port Huron.
A very interesting event took place
at the home of Val. Paulin Fullerton
on Tuesday of last week. Two of his
daughters were married by the Rev. J.
H. Wagnes, of Sebringville, to two
worthy young men, in the presence of
nearly one hundred' invited guests.
Miss Louise was married to Adam
Wiley, and Miss Kate to John Saakell.
The presents to both brides were very
numerous and pretty, and showed the
veryhighesteemlwh ichinthetwoyoung
ladies were regarded by their large
circle of friends.
At a well attended meeting held at
Fullerton Corners on Tuesday after-
noon of last week, A. R. Walker
tendered his resignation as the Patron
candidate in the coining election, and
Jas. A.. Donald, the former candidate
of the order, was unanimously put in
nomination by the united elements
present. The meeting was largely
grade up of members of the P. P. A.
order and dissatisfied Orangemen,
with president Mountain of thePatron
order presiding. There seemed to be
some dissatisfaction over the' change
recently made at the Downie meeting
when Mr. Walker was substituted for
Mr. Donald; also as Mr. Walker did
not covet the position, he readily with-
drew on becoming aware of this feel-
ing.
It wase ; '
d cided by the Cabinet Sat-
urday to prorogue Parliament on
Thnrsdaynext and dissolve on Friday,
when the
dates oft e
h electionsw ill be
announced.
It " is thought
ntim
I that nomi-
nations will be held on the llth June
and polling on 18th. There was an
impression ,,that. the election would
take place at the end of 1VIay, but
Most members agree that the middle
of June,, between the seasons of seed-
ing and.haying, is the best time.

WITR KIDNEY COMPLAINT—YOU CAN

1 take the pleasure in stating that I
have been using, South American Kid—
ney Cure, and found relief within six
hours after first dose taken. I became
sick in January, 1893, when 1 employed
several of the local physicians, and was
treated by them until Fail without re-
ceiving much benefit. I then began.
using South American Kidney Cure,
and have found great benefit, and ani•
almost, if not quite, cured. Have not
been taking any of the medicine for
seven weeks, and feel as well as ever.

The death of Miss Helen Carleton of
Windsor, on Wednesday, in a private
asylum in Chicago, recalls the mysteri-
ous death of her sister, Miss A
Carleton, of St. Clair, Mich., who •. it
appeared last fall while on her w
home to Chicago, and whose body w s
found in the river near Amherstbuu .
Miss Carleton was 50 years. old an
well connected in St. Clair. She ha►d
stopped over in Detroit, and her strange
behavior at the Griffin House made•
people think her insane. It is supposed
that while insane she threw herself in-
to the river at the foot of Third street,.
and that her body was robbed by some
ghoul. The death of Miss Helen Car-
leton in Chicago is a result of this
tragedy. She became insane thrott ,h
grief.
