Inc Nrnsstzs Vast, FRIDAY, OCT. 7, 1887. _~ Am the Liberal Convention fox 'Vest Bruce held in Kincardine on Monday every polling sub•divieion in the riding was represented, there being 90 delegates, all told. The candidates were D. E. Cameron, of Lucknow ; Jas. Rowand, of Sangeen Township ; Dr. McKay, of Under- wood ; Dr. Sinclar, of Kincardine, and Peter Corrigan, of Kinloss. The strongest men were D. E. Cameron and Jas. Rowand, the lat. ter securing the convention by a few votes after five ballots had been taken. The nomination takes place on the 17th in Kincardine. VERY seldom in our experience of over seven years management of TEE POST have w8 had occasion to speak severely of the conduct of our citizens, either young or old, and we are pleased to say that Brussels is noted for its orderly residents. But of late a squad of boys and half grown young men have made things very unpleasant in the vicinity of the Salvation Army barracks and last Sabbath night was the grand culminating point, when bad eggs were thrown and the clothes of res- pectable people spoiled. The un• earthly shrieks and ye lis sometimes given vent to on John street would disgrace a Oree Indian. Order must be maintained in our town and the constable and magistrates should not only make arrests and impose 0 fine of one dollar and costs but let the fine pinch a little, and if the boys Dant pay it, the folks at home will wake up, per - baps, to ascertain where their young people are at nights and the cum - pony they are in. There are some little boys, ranging from 8 to 12 years of age, on our streets night after night until. 10 or 11 o'clock. The Salvation Army may do things at their meetings that plenty of people would not endorse but that is no reason why a rabble of boys at the front door should disgrace themselves bs performing the mean • est kind of tricks. We hope this kindly meant notice will have some effect and that the good mune of Brussels will remain untarnished. rulings at the cost of the surrender of their own. But had not they better ao so than lose the euorreas benefits of un- restricted trade with this oountry? A substitution of specific for ad valorem duties would leave but tittle room for disputes. Itis also objected that the Canadians will not bo willing to raise their thirty per cont. tariff to our fifty per cent, one. Those objectors, however, do not atop to consider that commercial union would inevitably tend to reduce our tariff taxation, wipe out the surplus and enable us to come to theira. Where there's a will there's a way, especially in a ease like this, where interests are identical. That a prominent journal belong- iug to the party which has defended with all its might the protectionist tariff should view in such a liberal and conciliatory spirit this great project is en evidence of ibe good feeling which exists at bottom be- tween the United States and Canada, and which is worth a good deal even if it does not result in Commercial Union.

Maur of the American jonrna'•e, and more especially the 1Vestern newspapers, have been discussing at length the question of Comma: Union between the Milted Slates and Canada. The majority of Omni, the great majority we believe. held the opinion that a zollvarein would be an immense advantage to both eountries, the United States as well as Canada. Even these. however, Allow that there are many great obstacles to be surmounted in car- rying the principle into practice. The question of the adjustment of the tariffs of the two countries is the principal of thee, Of course, neither nation regards the necessity of a ebouge in its whole tariff with equanimity, and Canadian journals, in discussiug the difficulty, have been taking it for granted that Canada, as the smaller and weaker party to the proposed agreement, would have to go to the wall, and be compelled to accept the American tariff. It is somewhat curious at first sight to find that some of the American papers seem inclined to jump at the chance afforded to have their tariff lowered to the level of the Canadian one. On second thoughts, however, there is no oe- oasion for surprise as the American tariff is so high that it is creating financial troubles, and some ohauge in the direction of lower rates is in- evitable in the near future, union or no union. Even so sound a Re- publican journal as the Chicago Tribune appears to take this view, as will be Been from the following extract from a recent article dealing with tariff adjustment in connection with Commercial Union :— We have one system, accompanied by almost innumerable decisions from the TreasuryDepartment and Supreme Court affecting valuations, .amounts and methods. The Canadians have their system, with perhaps an equal number of decisions from their courts and de. partments fixing their methods.
