eary result of this WAS tbat tha plaintiff
,vas handled with great severity in the
witness box and out of it. Questions and
.'ugvostious, gravely affecting his moral
character and quite unsupported by any
s"bstantive evidence, were unsparingly
and unmercifully indulged in.
The plaintiff has dearly bought his small
verdict at the price of numb mental tor.
tura. and I feet bound to give him fall
costs.
-hero is another consideration whish 1
tbiuk places the propriety of this order
beyond controversy. 73y this action the
plaintiff sought not only damages but an
injunotion. An interim injunction woe
granted, for wilful and porsisteutdefiance
of which the defendant underwent im-
prisonment„ in the 00121113011 gaol for days.
That lujunotion was made perpetoel by
tho judgmont after the trial. I think the
plaintiff is ou this ground entitled to full

Shop!• •y for the defend .nt."
Tho Baso from its commencement had
evert appearance of having been a pre-
nrc,3itateclattnok on the posttnodtor. The
papers containing the most villninons at-
taoks on the plaintiff would hove in some
part of it a statement to the offeot ,bat
no malice woe intonclo:l. This quite too
clever ruse exposed itsolf.
A properly oouducted nowspoper serves
a useful purpose in that it keeps the
publics acquainted with events eacurriug
from time to time, and, within proper
limits, deserves and should be protected,
butinuroased power brings increased re-
sponsibility, and we cannot ignore the
flat that private citizous have rights that
most be maintained, whether they be
postmasters, editors, merchants or any -
ono else. Tho editor who transcends the
bounds of deoency and the legitimate
range of newspaper criticism is not only
a disgrace to the profession but is not
true to himself and will, sooner or later,
get his doserts.
This naso has already attracted a good
cled of attention. It was all unprovoked
attack on a trusted official, where every-
thing that malice oould suggest lend an
inflamed imagination picture was ground
out weekly. Not only the postmaster
but everyone who hod the cotu:age to
igooro this self -constituted Diotator mine'
in for weekly tirades of abase, until the
w•h, le. community was ml 011;0. Nothing
good was there unless it received his
sanoLion. The bast motives were dis-
torted to snit the viloxt ends as "evil
minds change good to their own nature,"
but as everything must havo an end so
tho flight of this too daring Pegasus has
been cut short. Tho postmaster, after
many months of almost fiendish peraeoa-
tion, and after due warning, commenced
an action for libel (a thoroughly orthodox,
but expensive, proceeding.) Almost a
8100511 motions, mostly by thedefendant,
wore made at Osgood0 Hall. The first
resulted in "coats in the cause," but as
tho true oharit0ter of the defendant da,vn •
ed upon the judioiolniends of their Lord-
ships mole succeeding motion was mode
"costs against defendant•in any event."
The cumbrous naohiuory of „the law
now began working in earnost. An in-
junction was granted against the de-
fendant to restrain his further libelling
tho plaintiff until the trial.
"The Godwin bounty work up storms

But our hero disdained any attom to to

after issued on Order committing the

Boma thio salutary lesson was lost neon
him, for from bahincl the prison bate is
continued to d0),nonetrate
"That evil is ,vrought by want of thought
As well as wont of )cart."'

Free Trade vs. Protection.
To the Editor of Tar Peer.
Deno SIn.—In It communication, over
the signature of 'J. D. Ronald, in your
last issue, he asserts as it crusher to his
opponent, Thos. Strachan, in the disous-
5ion of the aboat subjeot that : "Auy boy
knows that if our citizens hero go to
other towns for their dry goods, boots
and shoes, furniture and all they non-
eume, our merchants and shoemakers
and other producers will be ruined"
Nov as there oould um be a better illus-
tration of the absurdity of the contention
that protection is a 50nrce of National
wealth than the one used by 31r. Ronald,
and as the purobasing of goods at outside
places prevails to a considerable extent
among the good citizens of Brussels, even
Air. Ronald '%clare Day oocasionily motes
a purohase at other places if he can get
better saite:l than at Brussels, and he
has a perfect right to do so if he wishes.

above what the merchants of Winghom

one can see that the people of Brussels
would be very much dissatisfied with
that state of affai,s, yet that is just what
we are doing in a national way.
But let us examine the principle of
protection by means of this illustration
a little fortlior and its evil results will

rho merchants of Brussels, being releivea
from outside competition by a paternal
Council, should form a ring or trust,
