Preferential Trade.
Now that the people of Canada are be-
ginning to realize the enormity of the
fraud practised on them in the name of
the N. P., the advonatee of that wonder-
ful °rector of millionaires and panpers
are makingan effort to placate our form•
ars and the people of our seaport cities,
who necessarily have bean the greatest
sufferers under protection, by promising
them preferential trade with Great Brit-
ain. This promise depends for fulfilment
on the willingness of Great Britain to
adopt protection as her fiscal system.
Great Britain is never likely to return to
a system of proteotiou in view of the fol.
lowing self-evident lf-e ident foots—facto that will
wi v
she t as longas she
also explain whymust,
remains free trade, always be a sliieid
between the monopolists of the world and
their victims, tbe consumers. In the
ordinary course of trade merchants are
seldom, if ever, forced to bey, but are
often forced to sell. Experience teaohes
that the merchant who can take advent.
age of the forced sales going on around
bim, develops a greater degree of pros.
verity than his neighbor who is prevent-
ed from so doing. Now, as international
sales are in their nature forced sales (in
the same sense that the farmer, in order
to make any profitable use of his surplus
products is forced to exchange them for
things be does not or cannot produce) it
must follow that the people of the coun-
try who can take advantage of the sales
of the surplus products which the people
of other countries are forced to offer,
must develop a greater degree of prosper-
ity than the people of a country who are
prevented from so doing. Protection be-
ing the means that modern Governments
adopt to prevent their people taking ad.
vantage of the forced - sales of surplus
products which other countries offer, it
is not surprising to find by aotual ex-
perience that the people of themost high-
ly protected countries suffer the most
keenly from trade depressions (compare
Canada and the United States during the
last two years) for not only does the high
tariff against foreign goods prevent them
reaping any advantage from the forced
sales of surplus products which other
countries offer, but they are forced to
sacrifice their own surplus in the only
market left open to them, viz„ tbab of
Great Britain, all other countries being
more or lees protected. This explains
why 50% to 60% of all the ships that sail
the seas are loading for Great Britain,
where all, or nearly all, obetaoles in the
way of her people taking full advantage
of the forced sales of surplus products
other aountriea offer have been removed.
Itis the foot that these obstacles have
been removed that enables the people of
Great Britain to manufacture more
cheaply than the countries, the Govern.
ments of which deny this advantage to
their people. As the only way the people
of a nation (like the farmer) can utilize
their surplus produote is by exchanging
them for products they do not produce in
• their own country as cheaply as can be
done in the country where the esohange
takes place, and again as nearly all coun-
tries by means of so called protective
tariffs force their people to esohange
their surplus produote in Great Britain,
it must follow that no matter how high
the tariffs are put tbe surplus must be
exchanged at a price to allow a profit to
the British manufacturer and a margin
to the importer after paying the import
duties. This accounts for the well
known fact that the imposition of pro-
tective tariffs are always followed by a
fall in farm land values, and the removal
of protective tariffs by an instant recov-
ery of farm land values, (farmers should
note this) for the farm land is the basis
from which the surplus of all countries.
is produced, no matter in what form.
The loss owing to this unfair exchange
the proteotion forces, must therefore fall
on the farmers. The farmers impover-
ishmentpauporizes many, and adversely
affects the whole community, except a
few beneficiaries who grow enormously
wealthy tinder the proteotive system of
taxation. This also explains why Great
Britain, as long as she remains free trade
must be a shield between the monopo-
lists (who can only exiab under protec-
tion) and the consumers, for no matter
how high the protective dntiea or how
close the monopoly, British goods will be
broad over the tariff wane, and tame pre.
vent them (tbe monopolists) realizing the
fall benefits proleotion was designed 10
give them, (hence their hatred of the
tight little Isle.) We have only to fallow
the speeches of the MoKinleys, Toppers
and Rhodes of the world to discover that
though tariff walls are nominally raised
against the world, they are really diroot-
ed against Great Britain, and it proves
the wisdom of her eystem of free trade
(adopted as an ant of lustiest to her peo-
ple,) that every new effort other countries
make to °ripple be trade by means of
protection and its inevitable offspring,
the bonus, most force her (Great Britain)
a notch higher in the scale of nations,
for the more successful other countries
are in preventing their people from tract.
ing direatly with one another (the result
if not the object of protection) the great.
er will be their need of the only market
left open to them, and the greater the
bargalun they will be forced to offer in
Mot market, on account of the competi-
tion amongst themselves, to get rid of
their surpine products there, Any
country may with benefit to its people
and the world generally share the ad•
vantaj;os of t11ie position with Great
Britain by simply . adopting a revenue
tariff. Judging from the speeches and
literature of the protectionlets of the
varigue countries, tear of benefitting
Great Britain and their nearer neighbors
pre'rents them tbue beneti,tbing their own
people, In view of these feats, can it be
loyaloy to the Empire that aotuates 0 lit-
tle hand of narrow-guago politioiaoe to
urging the mother land to relinquish a
trade polio), that must, if other countries
remain protootionisb, ultimately force the
bulk of the accumulating wealth, of the
world into her hands, that has already
made her the chief oredttor of all the
nations (whileb the Moli:inleys, Tappers
and Rhodes of the worldhave been passing
cute little laws which they childishly
imagine keep the money in ,their eoun•
tries,) that obliges her enemies to doll,
nowledge she is the greatest civilizing
power the world has ever known, that
hag made her undisputed mistress of the
seas, and with her colonies in line with
her, instead of being in line with her
enemiee (as meet of them now are,)
would soon enable the Empire to guar-
antee the peaoe of the world single hand-
ed. According to our last census, Can.
ada inoreaaed her population 86% more
rapidly under the last decade of revenue
tariff than she did under the first decade
of proteotion ; and as the aggregate in-
arease of wealth is always, or nearly al-
ways, in proportion to that of population
(for it is the gentile Homo that gives
value to all things in earth), we see at a
glance the check to progress which pro-
tection entails. This illustrates the pro.
gress the Empire would make in popu-
lation and wealth were the restrictions
on trade removed from all its parts.
This progress would be all the more pro.
nonnoed (though not so rapid) if the red
of the world remained protectionist for
the same reasons that now make the rela•
five progress of the United Kingdom so
marked. In addition to the fabulous
material advantages that have come to
the people of the United Kingdom since
she opened her
ports to the world whioh
was simply doing to others 0.e she would
have others do to her,) the greatest of all
blessings that can fall to the lot of any
people has been forged on her as the
result of that measure, viz., honest Gov
ernment, the lack of which is tbe chief
cause of the misery and suffering among
the people of all oouutries and times.
Honest Government is an impossibility
under protections based as it is on the
assumption that the Golden Rule is all
nonsense and inapplicable to our business
dealings with our fellows (especially
foreign fellows,) for it involves injustice
to some in the community. Injustice
can only be perpetuated by corruption,
banes we find the most highly protected
countries have the most notoriously cur.
rapt Governmeuts.

Life in California.
DRAn SIn,—I suppose you will be in-
terested in receiving a letter from me.
I will try t0 discriba alittle of California.
We have been here a little over a year and
I have nob been sick a day. The tveatber
is very warm and getting dry ; the pear,
Peach and almond trees aro in full bloom
The pasture is good ; our cows have been
in pasture all winter. There has not been
a day since we came hare that the bees
bare not been flying around. They have
come in with pollen all this month so you
can guess what kind of weather we have
here. A man had been sick who owned
the farm but by mismanagement had lost
all but about twenty scree, and that was
sold under mortgage, and we got it at the
upset price. It is a fine two storey house
finished in the beet style, and good out-
buildings. We have been offered $1,000
more than we gave. We let the school
authorities bave one-third of an acre for
5800- As we want to get our land in fruit
we have to irrigate, so we hired a mac to
put us down a well ; we got the pipe and
he went down 275 feet and got a stream
of water that fills a seven-inah pipe and
will throw the water eighteen feet above
the cap. It will throw over two barrels a
minute. We bought an orange orchard
of five acres with about 100 trees to the
more and lemon trees between the rows,
the orchard is young ; last year was the
first year tbab the trees born. We expeot
half a box per tree this year. The Oran.
ges brought $3.50 per box last year, and
lemons more. There are five hundred
acres in the orchard—oars in the centre
of the orchard. We bave also an orchard
on this place of apples, pears, apricots,
plums, almonds and figs. We set 100
prune trees last Spring and they grew
finely. There is a large Chinese garden
close by where we can get fresh vegetables
every day in the year. They had fine
strawberries from April to November ;
they are in bloom now.
The orobarde are all white now with
bloom. If I should tell you about how
this country is they might say Iyarn, but
it is different from borne hero. Nearly
all raise fruit and vegetables. One man
has 100 mares of onfona for seed ; he sold
over $1,000 worth of seed last year ; an-
other bas 50 acres of asparagus; they are
shipping that now. Another has 50 acres
of tomatoes. The most part of the valley
is in orchards, sometimes hundreds of
000001n an orchard.
We are between three big cities, San
Francisco, Oakland and San Jon and the
railroad and gravel road run through this
village. There is a great deal of travel
by here, and a large amount of grain and
hay in raised here, mostly in the loot.

in the foot -hills in a year.

WHY SUPPER WITS: PILES P
Dr. Clinsc's Ointment Will Cure Them at
a Cost of But 60 Cents.
Piles, scrofula, oczernatic eruptions,
scald head, salt rheum and all other
annoying and painful skin diseases can
be easily cured by Dr. Chase's Ointment.
"I lead protruding piles for ten
years," writes H. H. Sutherland, com-
mercial traveller, of Truro, N.S.; "tried
many remedies, and had doctors oper-
ate. It was no use. Was cosnplstely
laid up at 'times. Chase's Ointment
was recommended to me by Mr. Brennan,
of the Sumrmerside, P,t;.i., Journal. I
tried it, and one box completely cured
me."
Mr. Statia, the editor of the Streets,
ville, Ont., Review, gives this unsolicited
teetimonial under date of Nov. 6, 7.896 :
"Half a box of Dr.Chase's Ointment cured
my daughter of eczema. That was six
months ago, and 'there has since been
no reappearance of the rliaoass."
T. Wallace, blacksmith, of Iroquois,
Ont., was troubled with blind itching
piles for 20 years, " I tried every
remedy that came out in vain," he
writes, "until I tried Dr, Chase's Obits
meat. It was n, godsend. Ono box -
cured me."
