W. Ta. REFER,
Bdltor and Proprietor.
The Tories vs, the Grits.
To the Editor of Inv noes, ;—
DEAR Sur,—We see that your Ottawa
correspondent is out with another letter
in hist week's Pose. He has changed the
heading on this mansion, perhaps think-
ing the change would be some protection
against having his last humble effort
knocked into another oinked hat. Evi-
dently your correspondent was hard set
for assistance to prove that protection is
wrong when he itaa to introduce Noah
and his family, Now, in the name of
common 581380, what has Noah 051:1 his
family, who lived at the time of the flood,
to do with the Dominion Tariff of the
preaent day. A person who is not au.
quainted with your correspondent's style
of writing when reading the first part of
hie letter most likely would think that H.
Washington is a very pious and devout
man, whose aim and objeot was the saw.
ing of souls, but a little later on he would
be easily convinced that he was more in-
terested in gaining a few votes. Your
correspondent next gives some informs,.
tion on the progress of a new country by
telling us that villages, towns and cities
had been the result of tillage in the past,
and so are the villages, towns and cities
of the present day the result of tillage,
and that protectionists imagine this
Divine order of development can be re-
versed if men like Sir Charles Tupper are
given a free hand. What silly nonsense
he gives to the readers of TER POST.
Again, H. Washington tells us that pro.
tection has been a disappointment and a
failure in this or any country where it
has been tried and on the other band the
predictions of the advocates of %Revenue
Tariff have always boon fulfilled beyond
the expectations of the most sanguine,
for they are based on the belief that this
divine order of development is unchange-
able. Now that belief is wrong and your
correspondent is wrong, for it is change.
able. We in this country did give a
Revenne Tariff a five years' trial and at
the ensu of that time the majority of the
people decided in favor of getting rid of
it. On the other hand the majority of
the people decided in favor of a Protect-
ive Tariff, which has lasted for seventeen
years. Now I want to say without any
fear of contradiction, that a Revenne
Tariff, as we had it in Canada, is a Pro-
tective Tariff and a very selfish one at
that, for it only protects the Govern-
ment's pockets and their servants and it
taxes the farmers' and poor man's tea
and coffee and hundreds of other things
the country cannot produce ; and on the
other hand a Protective Tariff is more of
a Free Trade Tariff, for it lets the farm•
ars' and poor man's tea and coffee and
hundreds of artioleo which the country
cannot produce in free, and we find that
at the last sitting of Parliament mining
machinery, whiob the country cannot
produce, is to be free for another year.
A Revenne Tariff as they have it in Eng-
land lets in free the surplus produots of
the world's farms to compote with the
English farmer and then loads him down
with taxes. Again your correspondent
informs us in a very round -about way
that when a trade depression sets in the
urban class in all countries away back in
the dark ages and more recently in India
have been taken advantage of by deme•
goguee to forward their own interests,
that such an opportunity offered in Can-
ada in 1876'77 and '78 and they were
r omised relief at the expense of the
farmer. Yee, just so, in 1878 the Re•
form Government promised great things
to all classes and we will see how they

Imperial Unity.
During the naming general el8otion ail•
peals for support will be made by the
protectionists in virtue of their claim of
being eupporters if not the originators of
eo called Imperial Federation. So much
nonsense would not be writ, and eloquence
wasted on thie subject (were the people to
realize .the fact that a Federation of the
British Empire exists to•day in so far as
the corruption and consequently diem-
tegrating mailer= of protection in some
of its vital parte will permit it to exist,
In so far as Canada is oonearned the evi.
denoes cif corruption and disintegration
since protection was introdaoed bore in
1879 are many. For iuetanoe, Sir Chas.
Hibbert Tupper, a short time ago, aseart-
ed (and his statement has been repeated
by boste•ol orators and writers in this and
Other countries, where it is sought to per-
petuate protection) that 'Great Dritain
is being driven out of the civilized mar-
kets of the world, and is now obliged to
use her army and navy to foroe her goods
on defenceless savages." As Great Bri-
tain is supposed ,to be thus injuriously
affected by the vary protective measures
Sir Hibbert and his party eo zealously
advooate,(2 may with reason be assumed
that in hie cave the with is father to the
thought. This is but one of the many
mean and petty, not to say false, asser-
tions against the honor and dignity of
the United Kingdom, that are being in.
dustriously oirculated in this and other
countries by the advocates of proteotion,•
and account in a measure for ;the hatred
against "the 214112 little /ale" which is
suoh a noticeable feature of our times,
As the strongest tie that binds the Ern.
pire together must always be mutual re.
spec( and love, such aseortione by public
men like Sir Chas. Hibbert Tupper must
weaken the very foundation on which the
unity of the Empire rests. A list of the
known oases of corruption in high places
since protection was introduced in Can-
ada would fill pages, and they necessarily
bear a small proportion to the whole, in.
volving a lose to the people of many mil-
lions of dollars. Many post•omoes fit to
accommodate the business of large cities
have been built in small towns to inilu•
eine the vote of the electors. Custom
houses have been opened all over the
country to provide places for political
supporters; but the greatest steal is that
by which hundreds of millions of dollars
have been taken out of the pockets of the
people by the tariff and put into the poo-
keta of the oombines, and certain favored
manufacturers. It i0 no wonder that,
during this carnival of unblushing plum
der, farm lands have fallen in value 40
per cent. and wages (cost of living eon.
uidered) in proportion, for the beet author-
ities, and common sense, teach that all
such extravagance 15 ultimately paid for
by the farmers and laborers of the com-
munity. The time is opportune, in so
far as Canada is concerned, for loyal citi-
zens of the Empire to destroy the influ-
ence of the blustering boometers who
boast of their power to corrupt the whole
Empire, by foisting proteotion thereon,
as a cure for the poverty and disintegra-
tion they have already created in some of
its parts, by the successful advooaoy of
similar measures. New South Wales
leads the way. She is now shoulder to
shoulder with the mother land in her
trade polioy. Surely Canada, the bright.
est and largest gem in the ring of British
nations that girdles the world, will sweep
from her path the band of boodlere that
now bars her way to Imperial Unity.
