MCMUI,LEN A moms of Toronto Church goers was taken on a recent Sabbath by the Tele• gram and the number foand to be 126,• 000. It is a worthy moord. SINCE the McKenzie Government went out of power the public debt of this Dominion has increased at the rate of $1,000 an hour. What Canadian elector wants a oontinuance of this sort of busi- ness ? MR. DreinswoN bee outlined his views on the Manitoba School case, He favors, so be says, National sohools ; thinks Manitoba able to settle her own 8013001 affairs ; and stands unpledged. He, however, is running aa a supporter of Sir Charles Tupper who is pledged to push the Remedial Bill through if elected on June 28rd. The position is somewhat unique if nothing more. Joncr political meetings will nob beheld in East Huron as Mr. Dickinson declines to accept Dr, McDonald's offer. The former opened the campaign at Balmore on Tuesday evening. He was assisted by Dr. Chisholm, of Wingham. W. H. Kerr, of TEE Pos;, represented Dr. MoDoeald. The Dr. commenced his series at Blue - vale on Monday evening. T. Gibson, M. P. P., and Editor Brown, of Wingham, also spoke. A CONVENTION for choosing a candidate in the Reform interests for South Huron, was held at Brimfield Wednesday. There was a very Large turn out, every polling seb•division being fully represented. There were two names before the eon. vention—Jobn McMillan, the late mem- ber, and Geo. McEwen, of Hensel'. Mr. McMillan received a substantial majority in the first ballot, and bis nomination was then made unanimous by a standing vote. Speeches were delivered by Mr. McMillan, Jnr. McEwen, Mr. McLean, M. P. P., Robert Holmes, Clinton, and Bernard O'Oonoel, McKillop. Tim "witticism" in the Herald about the deoline in population is a cheap way of dodging the question. What applies to East Huron is egnally true of a great many Ridings, not only in Ontario, but in every Province in the Dominion. Look up the last census and see how the great N. P., immigration boom has pan- ned out. A drop of 2,762 in East Huron ; 1,000 in East Brace ; West Brine, 8,- 500 &c. It wasn't the Liberals who took the census either so that every advantage was taken to swell the figares, The N. P. as an aid to increasing the population of Canada is a dead failure. EVERY man is supposed to know more about his own business than an outsider, and when the Dominion Government at- tempts to be the mouthpiece of the manufacturers of this Dominion as to their fearfulness if the high protective walls were lowered, it is "talking through it's hat." There are manufacturers who always Ory when anything is said on this subject, their "recommend" was issued recently from Toronto, in which they thank the Government for helping them to line their prockets at the expense of the farmer and working man. Here is a list of well-known manufacturers in this country who stand on the Liberal plat- form and only ask a fair field and no favor in competition with the world :•— Jac, Forbes, Halifax ; Mr. Frost, Smith's Palle ; ilir, Hutchinson, Ottawa ; Mr. Patterson, Mr. Waterous, Mr. Go uld, Mr. Fullerton 111r. Shultz, Mr. Yeigb, Mr. Wisner, Mr, Cockshutt and hundreds of others. These men aro working in their own interests, of course, in their respect- ive lines of business and consequently must know what they are talking abort, and their opinion should carry weight, as it does. �— PC -1TiOAL. There will be a national house aleaning this year at Ottawa, and the new Liberal broom will sweep clean. It is remarkable how many of the On- tario Oonservative candidates seek elec- tion by partially repudiating the usurp- ing new lender, Tisdale, Taillon and other boys who have consented to play in rl'upper's baok yard, will find themselves over the fence and out next month. oThat Mr. Laurier hes greatly strengthened hie betide by ee0aring the fSir l•. a arena entry o . O Ivor Mowat iota bh M. a is of Aominion polities, even 0onservabives will readily admit," says the Kingston dews (Conservative,) N. F. Davin, OOneervabive candidate for West Aesiniboia, has oome out against the Dominion Gevernmenb'e palmy on the school queabion. In an address to the Motors, Mr. Davin says if he is re' turned he will oppose at every stage May hill interfering whit Provincial rights in Manitoba. With the duty on raw material higher 10 many oases tbau on floished p804501 , it ie hard to understand how the tariff belpe the manufacturer, though easy to see how ib injures hie ouslomers. That is what the manufacturer and his 0uu• tomere aro pondering, A. F. 0ulhern, President of the Stormont and Cornwall Conservative As. soOiation, has Addressed it letter to the prose, in whish be expresses his disgust at the nation of the Government at the lseb eession and adds that be is now in full sympathy with the Liberal party, Alex. McKay, ex -M. P. for Hamilton, received hie commission on Tuesday as an inepector of Customs for Ontario, Mr. Davis, ex -M. P. for Alberta, also- re waived his ooinmisseon as 0uatome 001- lector in the Yukon district. All the late remedialists in Ontario are taking to the woods or to offices. The Conservative Government pro. posed the Royal Commission to discover a policy for them on prohibition. A year has elapsed since the Commission sub- mitted majority and minority reports, and now Sir Charles manifests his con- tempt for the whole question by ignoring it. His manifesto contains no mention of the subject. The Belleville Daily Ontario, referring to the conditions in Hastings, hitherto a strong Oonservative county, Says :— "That an out.and-out Tupper candidate would be buried out of sight here goes without saying, The treatment that onr fellow•oitizen, Sir Mackenzie Rowell, has received from the "nest of traitors" is re- sented in Hastings." What this country most needs today is prudent, careful, eaonomioal admin- istration. If we license Sir Charles Tup- per r to spend and squander hand over fist e 1 4 we meet sooner or latae excite suspicion and create uneasiness in the money mar- kets. It would be like a deliberate invi- tation to trouble to put this extravagant, reckless old plunger, in charge of our affairs. Minister Ives hopes the Government will have a majority of live in Ontario as a result of the elections. The Ontario Conservative majority in the late hones was twentytbree. Admitting a lose of eighteen seats in one Province is oertain- ly not likely to make the followers hope - fol. The loss will be muah greater, how• ever. The Ontario majority will be ab least twenty-five on the other side, The Hamilton Herald, which at last general election supported the Conserva- tive party, now says of she Tupper let- ter :—"Sir Charles Tupper might have saved himself a lot of mental worry if instead of bothering with a three ,column maifesto he bad simply declared :—"It is my desire to hang onto office and an. nex all the fat jobs in sight to The Family." There are five members in the Tupper law firm at Halifax. Four of his part- ners have already managed to get nomi- nations for the Dominion Parliament. Surely the remaining solitary will have a seat found for him. When over one- fourth of the members of the Govern. went are Tupper's kith and kin, no scruple should influence them to give the law firm a strong bold on public of. flee also. A statistioian has figured out that in 1874, when Sir David MacPherson was issuing his blue ruin pamphlets, and the total expense of Government was 328,• 500,000, less than 20,000,000 bushels of wheat paid the whole bill. In 1805.6, with an expenditure of $88,000,000, it would take over 60,000,000 bushels of wheat (more than the entire yield in the Dominion,) to pay the running expenses of Government. Ib is about time we commenced to retrench. Keeping up the combines, the Toppers and the tax•eaters generally is too beavp a business for the taxpayers. They can't stand it much longer. In 1878 Sir Charles Topper character- ized an increase in the public debt, in- curred to deepen the Welland Canal, as "this great calamity, this great disaster," At that time taxation was low, and the annual expenditure was under 824,000,- 000. Now the taxes of the people have been greatly increased, the debt bas been added to since the mon now in power took hold by over $100,000,000, and the annual expenditure is over 338,000,000. In face of all this, and of his former declaration that it was a "great calamity," a "great disaster" to even inorease the debt 33,- 000,000 for needed improvements in the ooumtry's waterways, he asserts that if returned he will run the taxpayers still further into debt to the tune of many millions of dollars. Several millions for the Hudson Bay Railway and one million for Red River improvements have been promised by Tupper to try to carry Win• nipeg, and the people of Port Arthur have been promised a railway into the Rainy River distriot. This is only the beginning of his reckless plunging. i72t1T0095,6 1VLP 2Z caerz3r.,.
