THE CHIEF ISSUE. From the Toronto News, Independ- ent •The policy of protection has built up factories in the towns and cities ot this Province which the ad- option of free trade, as Sir Richard threatens, will destroy. The avowed object of the Liberal liarty is to melee this a cheap country a live in, and to this end theAinerican snanufacturers will be given an oppor- tiunity to slaughter their goods in Can - Sae, if Mr. Laurier attains power. Of What advantage would it he to the fellers of the Dominion to be enabled & purcbasemanufactured goodscheap- ly if they were not able toearn enough money to keep them and their families alive ? And how will the farmers benefit by the adoption of a policy that will des- troy their home market by driving the aetesams to the manufacturing centers ef.the United States ? Notwithstanding all that the Liberal press has said against the National policy, it is credited with bringing. prosperity to the Dominion by the fair - impeded, whether they be Liberals or Conservatives, and it is for this reason Vital it will be supported at the polls again next month.

The Bank of Commerce has refused to handle the finances of Windsor any longer, claiming. that the tax rate of 23 mills, which was finally adopted by the council at its meeting Thursday night, is not sufilcient to cover the expenditure for the year, H. Walker, manager of the bank, stated that the bank could not carry the fin- ances of the city on the rate passed. Three days ago Ephriam Earl, sr.„ of Blenheim, was bitten on the hand by an angry cat. He paid no attention to it, as it was only a slight seratch. By night, the hand had swollen somewhat, aud a physician called, but, despite his care, the pain became in- tense. and the aren badly swelled, to the sfinulner. Earl is in a serjous con- dition, and his recovery, on account of his being an old nian, is considered doubtful. Algie, who unveiled tho monument to poor Jessie Keith in the Listowel cemetery, is described as an eminent orator. All of the -eminence in Mr. Algiins eration was derived from the utterance of R. G. Ingersoll.

"No man, I care not how -convinced an advocate of free trade for Canada he may be, has yet suggested -no man, "I believe, can suggest a practical plan whereby our great revenue needs teen be met, otherwise than by the continued imposition of very high du- ties an goads similar to those we make or can make within our bounds, or on the raw materials. I invite the 'most ardent free trader in public life &present a plausible solution of this iproblean, and I contend that he is bound to do so before be talks of free trade as practicable in Canada. I have not believed it soluble, in my day, =deny chance of its solubility if chance there evere, has been destroyed by the vest increase of our yearly charges and by the other conditions which havabeen created. The thing is re - reeved from the domain of medical polities." This is the deliberate judgment of Hon. Ed. Blake, given to the public lh 1887, when he occupied the respon- sible position of leader of the Liberal party.. If Mr. Laurier were to get rid othis infatuation for free trade and admit. the neeessity of a protective tariff for Canada, he would stand a fair chance of sweeping the country ih the pending elections. But he is wedded to an old idol that the people of -Canada not worship under any tisnditioes. His trade policy is anti - Canadian, unpatriotic and unpopular. A free trade Premier is an impossi- bility in Canada. ••••••••••••00,=••••••••••••••••••• THE LIVE STOCK TRADE, The Mitchell Recorder says that Mr. Erb, the Liberal candidate, said at a meeting in Blanshard "that Manitoba should be left to itself in the settle- ment of its school problems, and that he is reported to have said the same thingat Fullerton, Staffa and Usborne." What did he say in St. Marys, closeted in a certain hotel with a certain num- ber of the people in that town ? Did he not say that the Remedial Bill of Tupper did not go far enough ; and that if eleeted, he would favor further remedial legislation to the Catholic minority. We hew not seen this alleg,ation denied. Queen Vietoria will, if she be spared, enter the sixtieth year of her • glorious reign on June 21st 1890. If herMajesty lives until June 21st, 1897, she will have eclipsed the record of George the Third, who died in the sixtieth year of his reign. Victoria bas already far out- lived the regal terna of George the Third, if the years of that monarch's • insanity be deducted from the years of his reign. The mind of George the Third, what there was of it, gave way several thnes in 1764, in 178ten, in 1801, in 1801, and in 1810. The poor king was overcome by the insanity, which lasted till his death in 1820. x "Sir Oliver Mowat's participation in the campaign is not effecting that was hoped. While he and Mr. Laurier may have a perfectly harmonious un- derstanding, their followers have not. Rivalries and heartlearnings exist in various quarters. Sir Oliver is deem- edby manyto be playing a selfish game, in which he is to win all that is won, and Mr. Laurier is to lose all that is lost. It is only common hatred of the Conservatives that holds the Liberals together, and such a cohesive force is not likely to prove permanent. In case of Liberal success atthe polls it would soon vanish, leaving the party rent into jaaTingfactions,' -New York • Tribune. + + The Canadian live stock trade is growing to proportions that have aseonished even the most sanguine. he figures from the export returns of the port of Montreal make a splendid showing for the past season of naviga- tion. In the ten months beginning with January and closing evith lIctober Last, we shipped. out of t'the country from •one port of Montreal 17,152 sheep, 88,400 cattle, 11,890 horses. During the same period lastyear the shipments • aggregated 119,314 sheep, 79,890 cat- tle, 5,003 horses. These latter figures, far as they fall short of those for the current year, are, in regard. to - sheep and horses, a long step ahead of those of 1893. In the first ten months of that year the live stock exports, by way of Montreal, were 1,731 sheep, 80,405 tattle, and 1,516 horses. Thus in these years our exports of sheep from Mont- real have increased a hundred fold, of cattle 10 per cent, of horses 800 per cent. But they do not com- prise all the animals sent a.broad. etieveral cargoes of Canadian cattle were shipped at Portland before the St. • Lawrence route was open. Prices hay - ng advanced sharply before the open- ing of navigation, there was a big • movement of cattle by way of Port- • land.

Ned Farrer m Between. Ottawa, June 1, -Information which has been in the possession of the Government for some weeks shows in the most indisputable manner the nature of the nefarious plot of Liberals, Patrons and McCarthyites to overthrow the present Government. Grand SecretaryWelshreferred. to the matter in e speech in West Middlesex the other day., but there is in evidence a, higher official even than the Grand Secretary, viz., Grand President Mal- lory himself. The deal,it appears,has been brouirlit about by Mallory for the Patrons, Mc- Carthy on his own behalf and Alexan- der Smith, the Liberal Organizer, for Ontario. The gentleman who engin- eered the scheme was no less a person- age than our old friend, and arch con- spirator, Ned. Ferrer. Now it is as plain as daylight what his recent con- ferences at Montreal with Mr. Laurier and Jim Sutherland mean. A letter of Mallory's wbich has fal- len into Mr. Haggart's hands, details the plan which the Grand Executive of the Patrons entered into with the McCarthyites and the Liberals for the most effectual method of either secur- ing the return of Lineral, Patron or MeCarthyite candidates, or of so ar- ranging.a three -cornered fight as to the Ministerial candidates. In a riding. where a Patron candidate i8. of known Conservative lea.nings, he is to be left in the field as the third man, between theConservativeandthe Liberal candidate, so as to weaken the former. Where the Patron is aLiberal he is by arrangement .with Organizer Smith or Mr. McCarthy, either to with- draw from the contest, leaving the fight to others, or if stronger than the Liberal candidate, he is to remain in the field. single handed against the Conservative candidate, with the assis- tance of the McCarthyites and Lib- erals. • That this deal has been faithfully carried out, a glance at the list of can- didates, especially in Ontario, will • show in this province there are about 17 ridings where a straight Liberal has not. been put in the field. Mr. Mallory's letter wine published and will certaiuiy open the eyes of Conservative Patrons. This precious epistle speaks of the importance of candidates and organizers dealing altogether secretly with Ned Fearer as the chief engineer of the deal. It states also that in connection with the payment of $100 to Ferrer for his serviees the aforesaid nE.F." expressly stipulates that the cheque shall not be made out in his name. In South Huron the political possibilities are somewhat different to those of former years. In the south- ern part of the riding there is uni- versal dissatisfaction with John Mc- Millan, who has held the office for many terms. and whom, it is thought, should have resigned the nomination in favor of another faithful, and thus pass a good thing around;but instead, he exerted every means to secure him- self the conyention, against George McEwen, Reeve of Hay towhsbip. In this township there is groing to be a surprisingly large vote for T. E. Hays, the Conservative candidate, as also in McKillop, Mr. Hays' own township. He is a farmer and man well versed in municipal and political matters, is respected by those who know him, and eminently qualified to represent South Huron in the Federal parliament. He is a man possessed of independent Tie ws and will receive a large general sup- port. Irmo••••“••••, Let any Liberal newspaper, or indi- vidual, quote a single utterance by Mr. Laurier in opposition to remedial legislation (not the remedial bill, but remedial legislation) if they can. If they cannot why continue the farce of claiming that the Liberal leader is on principle opposed to remedial legisla- tion Or coercion of any sort ? x +.

In 1890 it has $29,908,- 951; in 1895, $17,640,460. So that. -in- stead of "piling up', -it was decreased in that period by $0,328,488, or $1.25 • per bead of the population. No instance can be found in Canada, or in any other country, of so great a. decrease in taxation in a similar period of the time. Front 1874 to 1878, when theLiberals were in power, the average Customs tax per bead of the people was $3.44; in 1874 it was $3.77, and in 1875 it was $3.95, in 1890 $3.52 per head, or less by 43cents per head than in 1375. The great reduction in Customs taxation of 1895, compared with 1890, is almost entirely due to the removal of taxes upon a variety of articles, but chiefly it the abolition and reduction of the duties on sugar. The remission of sugar duties adone since 1891 has amounted to $19,621-,521, or anaveritee per year of $4,900,130 saved to the people. Since 1892, theLiberahConservatives have abolished the duty on tea (black) 2e. per lb, and 10 per .cent,; green and Japan, 3e. per lb. ane 10 per cent. on coffee of 2e. per lb.; on anthracite coal of 50c. per ton; On tin, from wbich the great canning and preserving in- dustries of this country, as well as every home in which tinware is used receive the benefit of 20 per cent, ; on bill stamps, which taxed every com- mercial or business trans:141mi ; on newspapers -the people's literature on sugae of which our peaple use over 1350;000,000 lbs. annually; bave reduced duties on window glass 10 per cent.; on molasses 15 per cent. ; and in 1891 they made a general reduction along the whole line of .tarilf articke, amount- ing to tibout $21,500,000, on previous importations. In 1895 the duties were restored upon sugar. x x Now, there are two classes of anti- remedialists. There are the honest. men -who conscientiously believe that noth- ing at all should be doneas regards the Manitoba minority. On the other hand, there are the Reform politicians. These men talk as they do to catch votes for Mr. Laurier, who they know is pledging himself to do "completely "and in its entirety" what, they say might not to be done. It is impossible to trust the Reform candidate, what- ever pledge he may give. At the last session of Parliament Mr. Laurier rounded up his Quebec followers and insisted that they should vote against a remedial law, which to their con- stituents they had pledged themselves to support. On the face of it, the pro- cedure was a breach of faith. But the Liberal press described. it as a • glorious noble adherence to principle. • From this incident it is to be under- stood that, if a Liberal should be elect- ed to Parliament, pledged either one way or the other, his view on the question of principle is that he must follow his leader. and not vote in ac- cordance with his promise to his electors. On the main question it would. not be a surprise if it were not to disturb Parliament again. It has been held in the arena, by Mr. Laurier • and Mr. Greenway in conspirany for the purpose it is.nove serving. Should the: ultimate object he frustrated -and it will be, most effectually, if the Iciyal people of Canada stand by their gun -Mx'.

The non-smoker, the total ab- stainer, is not called upon to pay any of this tax. The Government has reduced the imports on the necessaries of life. It has increased those on the luxuries. Could anything be fairer? In 1882 the Government found that tea and coffee ware taxed. As the Minister of Finance has pointed out, this was a taxation which no man could avoid who drank tea or coffee. It was a taxation upon articles which were not raised in this country, and. consequently every cent of that taxation was paid. directly by the people who consumed these arti- cles. The same was true with reference to an artielo which goes into the manu- facture of conunon articles usetl by the people everywhere -the article of tiu. There was a duty upon that as well. In 1882 the Liberal -Conservative Govern- inent struck off entirely the duties upon tea, coffee and tin: and. from that period until the present time there has thus been saved to tbe people on these articles alone the following amounts:- On tea On coffee On tin $11, 034,039 832,528 1,465,103 XIDNEY TROUBLE.

In 1883 the Government struck off the duty upon bill stamps and the duty upon newspapers -upon bill stamps a tax that went into commercial transactions from the highest to the lowest, and upon newspapers a tax which was styled a tax on information for the people. From 1888 up to date there have been saved to the people on bill stamps alone the sum of $3,267,888, on newspapers the sum of $613,864, or a total of $3,881,252 on these Iwo items. In 1887 an agitation was raised, which became successful, for taking the duty off authracite coal, which was supposed to, and which did, bear heavily upon the western province.. Tne duty of 60 cents per ton was taken off, and from that time up to 1895, inclusive, the amount of $6,014,355 was remitted to the con- sumers of anthracite coal. In 1800, be- sides other reductions in the tariff, there was a reduction of 10 per cent on com- mon window glass, and 15 per cent on molasses, and on these two articles alone, articles of common consupmtion, there has been saved $521,765 to the people of this country. In. 1891 the duty on raw sugar was re- moved, and the duty on refined sngar was reduced, and from 1801 to 1805, inclusive, there was saved to the people, in the remission of taxation on raw and refined sugarsthe sum of $19,851,995 And that saving was upon an article which goes into common and genera' consumption. In 1894 a general reduction of the tar- iff was made all along the line. With these undoubted facts in mind, how can it be denied that the Govern- ment of this country has been able and efficient? It has been its constant care to adjust the necessary burdens of taxation as to make the wright highest on the classes who are best able to pay high taxes. A Fish -Eating Plant.

The "Empress of India's" Cider Engineer Tells an Interesting Story: Mr. Francis Somerville, one of the best known inen in the steamboat traffic on tbe rivers and lakes of Ontario, having been engaged in this business for 6fty years, and who resides at No. ies tipper Colborne Street, Kingston, speaks as follows of his recovery from tbe sickness which has affected him for some time. Said Mr. Somerville: "The grip left me with kidney troubles and gravel. I had severe pain over the kidneys and in the small of my back, also between the shoulders and in the bladder. "The urine was very dark -colored with a great deal of muddy sediment. I went to Mr. McLeod's drug store and bought two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills. I have taken them with what people tell me is the usual good result. " They have cleared the urine, removed the sediment, relieved me of distressing pain in the back and between the should- ers, and have built Inc up in a surprising manner. In fact, I am entirely free from the troubles which affected me before taking these remarkable pills, and I recommend them as a certain cure for'all troubles arising from kidney disorders."" -Witt; Kingston. -111.1 rous' SALE OF VAI- u.
