'W &1. won's., Editor and Proprietor. TORIES VS. GRITS. To the Toditor of Tun Poem. DBAlt SIB, -I notice THE Po81of llfaroh. 29th contained a letter over the signature of "A Reader" and under the words "Has the N. P. made yea rioh ?" and with your kind permission I will endeavor to show up some of his arguments for what they are worth. I do not expect to con- vert him, for moat likely his case is simi- lar to the answer the little girl gave when asked how far she was through her catechism. She said she was past Re- demption. In the first plaoe he accuses me of saying the Government is more for Free Trade than the Reform Govern- ment. I still ear and maintain that it is more for Reform and Free Trade than the Reform Government bas been, for the reason that it does change and re- form to suit the requirements of the times, and for the reason that it has sev- eral hundred more articles on the Free List than the Reformers had, He says why the Hon, Mr. Footer and all the Tory leaders say their Government is proteotive and they will stand or fall on that principle. That is what they said, but surely that ought not to hinder from having Reform and Free Trade princi• pies. A person can put up an umbrella to protect from sun and rain and still can be a Reformer and free trader. A. Hereon can pub on an overcoat to protect from the inclemency of the weather and can be both a Reformer and Free Trader. And if the Government puts up barriers to protect this country from being a dumping place for the American surplos product, still it can be both Reform and protective to a certain extent. It can, and does, reform to suit the changing needs of the times and it can be more for Free Trade than the Reform Government has been for it can and does let in free articles that we cannot produce. He says Mr. Laurier and the Reformers say the tariff should be levied for the purpose of revenue tending towards Free Trade as they have it in England. Mr.. Laurier and the Reformers said manv things end advocated many policies. One time it would be Commercial Union, the next time Unrestricted Reciprocity, and again Tariff for Revenue only, and every time Free Trade. The fads changed like the fashions and we are told this year's fash- ion is Tariff for Revenne,tending towards . Free Trade, as they have it in L''naland, therefore 12 is a diffioult job to know what the Reform platform is. About 20 years ago Barnum. the New York show man, bad a great living eoriosity brought from some foreign country and called- "Wbat is it." Crowds saw is daily, bot none could tell its name or what it was, hence the name, what is it, which I think would be a good name for the Be' former'° platform. Reader admits the Reformers increased the net debt 40 mil- lion dollars the five Soars they were in ofiroe, but says I know, or ought to know, that the money went to pny contracts let by Sir John previous to 1878. Certainly there was some work left unfinished which cot some money, but not 40 mil- lion dollars, and be knows, or ought to know, that the Reform Government was not likely to carry on the work of the 0. P. R. for five years without spending millions, and he knows, or might to know, that McKenzie left many times more work unfinished than Sir John did, which largely increased the Dominion debt during the last fifteen years. Ile also says I favor the superannuation of civil servants. I wonder bow he knows. m I did not say I did. and he adds it was one of the errors of McKenzie that los did nob abolish it. Yes, and there were kind- red errors along the line of five years Moat he did not abolish. it is only when the Reform party are out of office that they are great reformern.. Again, be tells us we were told on every platform that if the Government were returned they were going to Washington to get Reciprocity, and they did go only to be laughed at. Now, the fact of the matter is the Con- servatives said on the platform that if then were returned to office again they would try to get Reciprocity in what would he n benefit to Canada. They did go to Wasbinaton and the Grits laughed at them, end it was said on the fl for of Parliament that they put ob'tnoles in their way ton. The Reformers when in office went to Washington to try and forum n. Treaty and could get no terms suitable to Oanads and they bad just as likely men an they hove in their ranks to -day, and .I sem right here that any Government, either Grit or Tory, whfah goes to Washington with the expectation of running the American Government ought to be laughed at by bo'h parties. The Americana broke the Treaty over 30 years ago and they have not made n, favorable offer vino. It appenrs as if the Massey -Barrie Co. intends oloeing their factory of 1,200 and moving their plant to the American nide, which means 600 vacant houses, and seeing that 2 we have been getting farm implements folly cheaper than in any other oountr Y, thea I. think the Government made a mistake last cession when it reduced the tariff on farm implements, for ainoe then we hear of that firm moving to the other aide, no doubtexpectingtose'f their im- plements in Canada, and the money (:o to enrloh the Amerigena, which would be iy semp111 of one aided Fres Trade, He ale° informs us that all writet'e of any note will admit that oambinea are 9f the evils of pretsotion, Xea and all writers of any nota will admit that there pan and do be combines where there is no pro. Motion, for the great iron ocmbine in 1 ngiand f0 ono •ef the greateat of oom- hiti0e. Now we seine to that mite little invenbi0n, viz„ 93a0 the N. 7,, made you doh?" It has nob' had muob chance yet for the U. S. 72. P. has been heavily pro• tested for over 80 years and 7ngland's N. F. hail been heavily protected for 500 years, while our N. F. has been only partially protested for about 10 years with the whole force of the Reform o er thrown w against w i t to block its wa p g i 1. k and hinder its progress. Still the N. P has done good work for the chance and time. In 1803 we find the capital invest, ed woe 303 million dollars, We find 807 thousand men employed and we find 100 million dollars paid annually in wages with the manufactured articles down to nearlyhalf i 1 rue' nth a e n srvh re's e p ,b s e 1 th Y home market 7 We will ems, the product of the Canadian farm is valued at 850 million dollars ofthat amount about six and a quarter millions goes to the U. S. about 40 millions to. Britain and about three millions to other countries leaving about 300 millions whioh is consumed =in the Canadian market and Mr. Blue of the Ontario Government Bureau for .Mines baa stated that Toronto consume twigs as much beef as all the Demir fon exports to the U. S. Tariff for revenue tending towards Free Trade as they have it in England. If an English farmer takes a trip to some foreign country on his return his baggage his valise and hie pockets will be searched for dutiable goods. He is taxed heavily for hie house and land, he is taxed for his teaand coffee, he is taxed for hie jewelry, if be keepsa servant he is taxed, if be keeps a carriage be is taxed, and if he keeps a dog or a gun he is taxed, railroads are taxed and private incomes are taxed and the result is to -day that the farmer can bdrdly pay expenses. Mr. Hulse M. P. for Salisbury said in Parliament the other day that even rent free the farmers in many instances could hardly square accounts. Mr. Howard Vincent says there ought to be some protection from aliens to keep the fertile lands of Essex from going to weeds and waste. And we also find that the Government daring the last ten years imported from foreign countries, guns, gunpowder and other monitions of war to the value of $1,180,000 aloes on six million dollars on one line of business, that is Free Trade, bot at the same time we hear of one. million artisans out of employment and they and their dependants in need. Your Reader gave a very deplorable account of farm property especially in the township of Morrie and surely the farmers ofthat township ought to buy him a leather medal for hie blue ruin advertisement, the more evidence of prosperity your reader sees in the line of fine and good houses and good barns in the surrounding town- ships apparently the more evidence of misery he sees and if reminded of the amount of money in the Government and chartered banks invested by farmers and others most likely be would say that is another great evidence of poverty. Ole does not like to hear the Reformers ac- cused of running down the country, he says, we do nothing of the kind for we have the finest county in the world, we only say the country is ruined and gone to destruction and in conclusion I hope be will give us more for be seems chock full of it snob as it is, thanking you Mr. Editor.

(Janie, editor and pro- prietor of the Listowel Banner, who was. driven from his bedroom by smoke, with the following result.: -S. M. Smith's jewelry store and Barber's photograph gallery were completely gutted; the up• per part of R. Moore's hardware store badly burned, and the stook of hardware in the store below damaged by water ; Bonner -'& Bowyer's tin and hardware store badly burned, and stock damaged. The upper part of C. A. Lee's new photo- graph gallery was badly burned. Mr. Climie's bedroom over the printing offi'se was damaged by water. Cause of fire unknown. A stranger, who gave his name as Johnston, hired a horse and outlier from Jos. Wilson's livery in town, ostensibly to drive out into the country to buy a farm, bot in reality with the intention of die - posing of it and making off with the pro- ceeds, as he offered it for sale to several parties that day. He reached Millbank, however, before finding a pyrcbaeer, and there offered the outfit for $40. P. Mut- oaohy, the hotel steeper where he put up, recognized the horse and his suspicions were at once aroused. Detaining the would be horse thief with thepreIext that he would have to draw money from the saving's bank beforehe could purchase, he communionted with Mr, Wilson, who wired him to hold the rig and arrest the man. Mr. Wilson, with Constable Bul- mer, immediately started for Millbank, and recovered the stolen property. In the meantime Johnston, or Sottisen, ail his name is said to be, wag placed under arrest, and has ainoe been sent to Strut• ford gaol .for trial. The excuse which he gave for trying to sell the rig was that bis family was suffering from want and that he took this method of raising funds to relieve them.
