FREEDOM IN TRADE.
"Freedom in Trade," aa set forth in our
mottoe, is one of the cardinal principles:of
our policy ; and believing that the abolition
of toll -gates in the County of Huron was a
question, involving no other principle, we
most streniously advocated the measure.—
The majority of the ratepayers, however,
who voted on Monday last, were in opposi-
tion. While we, ot course, yield to theft --
decision, we, nevertheless, stand by our pp-
sition as the correct one, and shall never
allow any opportunity, for attaining a closer
approach to Fiee Trade to pass, without
taking advantage of it We believe that
some, though we think they are few, pro -
flounce our conduct in this: matter the result
of improper influences. We value ourhonor
too -highly :to enter into any lengthy argu-
ment to prove the contrary, and shall con-
tent ourselves tty giving such uncharitable
surmises one simple and , emphatic denial,
t� whichtweemight add, as pur opinion, that
had the people of Huron bOnet, all, as disint
tetestedly aetuate.d, the reselt would have
beenotherthan it is. Thenenotwithstand-
ing our most earnest labour; the toll -gates
are still to exist- in Huron. But there is
another barrier to trade which we propose
to dire& our voice against, via—ltlarket
Fees. Howevergreat the absurdityiof
toli-
gate, we estimate the practice of market
villages and towns, inxellecting a share of
their taxation from their patrons, an imp -
Ashton, greater in degree. We believe it as
much to the advantage of the seller as the
buyer, to have a located market, and doubt
therefore partioulatly object,to the collec-
tion of fees, till such time as theexpenses
of this convenience are met, as there can
certainly be no objection to the participant
of an advantage payingfpe the tame. But,
in the case of Seaforth, Or instance, with
the close of the present year, • the market
ievenne will have more than met all the
expenditure of its organization, and we hold
that to continue to collect fees from those
who patronize: the market, is as -unjust as it
is impolitic. What would be thought of the
„merchant, who, notwithstaraditg his desire
to de all business possible, wotild imeoce a.
poll tax on each of his customers, to assist
in, defraying the expenses cf his household 4?
It is difficult to calculate whether knavery
or folly would be considered his paromoutt
-characteristic. 'ibis is art exact parallel.
It requires but a mere, fraction 4f the mar-
ket.revenue to maintain it, and the remain-
der is applied to other corpm
-aeon woiks.
The agricultural coinmunity view it as a piece
of unqualified imposition, -„which opinion
we endorse—and therefore, rather than sub-
mit, even at the risk of lower prices, for
their produce,. they pationizt markeits, where
such "catch -penny" institutions do not exist.
People of Seaforth arise proclaim youravil-
lingness to pay your Own taxes, aucl---deMand
the abolition of marketefees.
The Eastern:, Question" itl'aeparently
looming up in the European Ildgieon. The
Czar is bent oa vindicating the pride Of
Russia, severely., wounded ley the Treaty of
Paris after the Crimean reVerees. He now
' demands another arrangement by which
Several .claersee in. that treaty, Obnoxious to
the Russians, will be removed. He is de:
sirous of placing an imperil navy OnCe
more on the Euxine, and paying more at-
tention to Turkey. The &ghat]. is reported
