SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Oct. 13, 1882.
A Misarehension. af Fac -t.
- Mr. Merredith, the leader of -the Op-
position in the Ontario Legislataire, has
recently been delivering addressees in
different constituencies in this Province'.
In these addresses he has ineluded a wide
range of subjects. Finding,no doubt that
the denunciation of the Crook's Act,
the justification of the refusal to ratify
the Boundary Award, and the interfer-
ence with Provincial rights by the
Dominion Government, as exemplified
by the disallowance of the Streams Bill,
are not popular subjects with Ontario
audiences, he frequently launches out
in a panegyric upon the beauties and
benefite of the National Policy, and the
beneficial results of the North-west
policy of the Dominion Governnaent,
forgetting evidently that these are ques-
Coes entirely foreign to the Ontario
Legislature, aiad over which that body
has no control. In a recent speech he
is credited with the following rather
eloquent peroration:
"Then there was that territory to
to the North-west, that immense coun-
try, fertile as any land under the sun—
tecountry containing broad. acres suf-
ficient to support millions of the surplus
population of Europe. What greater
ambition could any Statesman have
than that he should have the
means of filling up that territory
witheloyar and honest Canadians? It
Beems to me therefore, that one of the
principal grounds upon which we are
entitled to say that the National Policy ,
and the railway policy of the Govern.;
naent should commend themselves to
every patriotic Canadian, is that by
means of these policies A has been
possible to keep within the limits of
the Dominion that great Northwest;
and to retain its . trade for ourselves.
Noreen who knows whereof he speaks
will deny that unless this National
Policy had been inaugurated, it would
have beim impossible for us to have
held the markets of the North-west.
Separated as they are from _us by
thousands of miles of inhospitable ter-
ritory, a close commercial relationship -
between them and the United States
would have led to a more intimate
union politically. Be means of the
tariff and the general policy of the
GovemMent this danger has been re- ,
moved, and it has been made possible
for the people of Ontario one day to see
hairalreds of thousands, nay millions, of
patrietic Canadians occupying that great
North West. (Cheers,) There is no
Caria,diaa who believes in the future of
this land, and who desires to eee it the
great country it is destined. to be, but
must have felt that to the Liberal -Con-
servative party is the credit due for all
that has been accomplished in this
direction."
It is evident from the above that Mr.
Merredith entirely misapp-rehends the
facts as they exist in the Northwest.
He admits as a feet that the people of
the Northwest, by reason of their Adis -
tame from the reet of the Dominion
and their contiguity to the United
States, were in danger of imbibing an-
nexation sentiments, but in his in-
nocence he concludes that by the policy
of the Dominion Government that
danger has been. overcome. Or, in other
words, by slauttieg the people of the
Northwest off from the benefits which
naturally belong to them they have
been rendered contented and happy.
Now let us see whether or not this is
really the case, and whether the policy
Mr. Merredith champions has had the
beneficial results he would have 'us
believe. The Government have enacted
a fiscal policy, which requires the people
of the Northwest to pay tribute on every
article which they consume and use,and
which they do not themselves produce;
it has arso bound up the country to one
singIe railway outlet. As a direct result
of these two acts, the settlers of Mani-
toba have to accept for their wheat 20
cents per bushel less, and have to pay
at least 20 per cent. more for their im-
plemeets of husbandry than their
neighbors in Dakota have to do. Is it
reasonable or natural to suppose
that when the Manitoba farmer
findsthat he has to pay from fifty to
seventy-five- dollars more for his
reaper than his neighbor a few miles
diatant in Dakota has to do, and can
not obtain within 20 cents per bushel
aSmuch for his wheat, that he will
long remain satisfied? He will at onoe
set to work to enquire the reasons for
this difference, and when he ascertains
the nate 0 61 them, inetead of settling
down satiOed to continue in his dis-
advanta eleus position because by so do-
ing he will benefit a few Ontario marra-
k
lecturers and foreign capitalists; as Mr.
Merredit seems to suppose he *ill do,
he will at once seek the remedy ; he
will agitate for, and demand relation-
ship with those who possess the benefits
And adva taps ef which he is deprived.
So that, s any person who will, can iee,
that ins ad of the policy which. Mr,
Merredit o so ably defends, and sie elo-
quently 1 rids, preventing the people
of the No hweat from seeking or desk
ing anne ation with the . United States
it is the ery thing which will - driv
them to i . And although Ontario ma
in the m an time derive a temporarif
benefit by taxing its customers in the
Northwel3t) if that policy is continued
it will &aim lose them altogether, and
its latter state will be. infinitely worse
than its first. We will lose Manitoba and
not benefit ourselves.
But are the people of Manitoba s
happy, 0.oeperons and contented unde
the exist no state of affairs as Mr, Mere
7
dith would have us believe? We leav
them to speak for themselves. In
reteerA issue of the Mountaineer, a jou
nal published - in Nelsonville, we fin
L,
the following : .
" People here re still greatly exer
cised on the railway question. Immeps
crops have been safely harvested, an
soon the' bins of the- farmers will b
overflowing with the newly thresh°
grain. Ordinarily this should indicat
home comforts and luxuries to come
but unfmitunately the present deplorabl
shape of railwavj matters here, will per
mit of ix such ihterpretation of the fac
in this ipstance. This is especially t,ru
of that m gnificent section of couutr
west of her , the distance frona marke
being stich as ' to render the cost o
teaming' gteater than the price to b
realized forithe grain. Just what, thee
people are to do with their abundan
crops we are at a loss to imagine, bu
unquesti n bly many of them will L
compelle,d to submit to great hardship
before relie comes." .
The a OV,0 remarks apply. with equa
force to the whole of the South-west
the most fertile portion of that grea
and fer ild coantry. The particula
road in bye, these people were mostl
interest° was the South-western, an
had'it lilt been for the scheming of th
Dominion Government in the interest
of the Pacific Syndicate that road woul
be running to -day, and the peopl
would have an outlet for their produc
instead of • having it rotting in thei
granaries,. Flat road, *which was a
independel:1 enterprise, has now falle
a prey to the Pacific Syndicate, and th
last chance the people had of procurin
an independent outlet has passed fro
them and they.are bound up to th
.
tender mercies el a soulless !monopoly,
1
with the results as set forth in the ex-
_
tract quoted, and yet Mr. Meredith an
others who profess to be honest, patrioti
men, will t+ to 'delude the people by
_giving utterance to such verbiage as we
have quoted from his speech. Such
conduct is neither patriotic nor honor-
able, and is unbecoming the leader of a
great political party, for we can not be-
lieve but Mr. Meredith really knows
better and thinks differently.

WHILE, some newspapers and politi-
Ciala who are so exceedingly hard
pressed for a subject for complaint
against the Oritario Government are
declaiming against and denoancing the
Crooks .License Act, as well as the
Government which secured its enact-
,
ment, we'fied a body of men who are
supposed to have, and should have, the
moral well-being of the people most a
heart &Oaring, most positively, in its
favor. At the recent meeting of th
Canada Methodist Conference held i
Hamilton, the Committee on Temper
ance submitted their, report, and tha
I
reported wee adopted unanimously. T
this report we find the following pare
graph, the raeaning of which cannot b
mis-interpreted or mis-understood. Th
paragraph is as follows: " AlthougI
" they could, not accept as absolute
"righteous any license law, they must
" regard the Crooks Act as the best
" instrument for its suppression that
" the Province of Ontario has ever had,
. --1
" and they recommend the. people to
"use their Irotes and franchise in pre1
" venting control of this license system
" reverting to the municipalities, where
"the industrious ward politician and,
" the interested lager dealer so largely'
i ..
" manipulated. the elections.1 , The
Conference, :be it remembered, is com '
posed of Mea of both sides of politics a
well as of those who take little interee
or part in politicalimatters. This tes
timony, therefore, coming from such -
source, is particularly reliable, and eve
if we had ne other evidence as to th
,
efficacy and ,usefulness of the existin
,
Licensing Law, should go far to con
vince most people that to abolish it an
go back to the old system as the Con
servative leaders and journals wish t
do, would be a serious retrogression and
a. long step Ip the wrong direction.

THE many friends of the Hon. Alex-
ander. Mackenzie throughout the Domi.
nion will learn with the greatest de-
gree of pleastire of the mark of appreci-
ation and esteem which has been shown
him by hie old constituents of Lambton.
On Tuesday evening last, a deputation
from the Reformers of Lambton waited
on the Hon. Alexander Mackenzie at
his residenceitand, in the presence of
company of friends, presented him Wit
it highly 6roplimentary address and. a
check for the handsome sum of 15,500.
Mr. Mack uzie represented Lambton un-'
interrupt dly for a period of nearly a
quarter.° a -Century, and it must be
gratifying to him to know that, although
he has been forced by ill health to aban-
don the representation of that constitu-
enoy, his old friends not only appreci-
ated his eminent services while their
representative, but that they have not
forgotten him now he has left them.
The gift, although munificent, is well
merited, as the honorable gentleman,
while a credit to Canada, has in the
past conferred special honors upon
Lambton. while in the capacity of ite
representative. It is dada that the tes-
timonial, thus presented as a mark of
esteem, has never beeu surpassed under
similar circumstances in the country.
rdid
THE following sensible remarks from
the Bobcaygeon Independent should
commend themselves to every reasona-
ble person. It says: "It is held by the
Department that whilst " Marmion " is
-not an immoral book, its plot involves
smile relations between tjhe characters
SR CitIl not be properly 'criticized and
analyzed by youths and young women.
It is alsol held that np bpok should be
on the authorized list of school books
which is offensive to 'any religious de-
nomination. The story turns entirely
on the relations between' Marmion and
his mistress, who is a num whom he
has seduced and carried off frona a eon -
vent, and this nun is his-ennstant com-
panion, dressed in bey'a clothes, and
waiting on him as his page, To explain
this, and critically examine it, is not a
very suitable thing in a school. So,
•
again, it is not desirable 'that the -pre-
judices of the Catholics Should be of-
fended by references to Catholic priests
being vessel slaves of bleeder Rome, nor
I
that a model poem used for critical ana-
lysis in the schools shoulAturn on such
topics as immoral nuns, ilyrannical and
cruel monks, and murders committed
under priestly sanction and authority.
The withdrawal 'of n Marinion " from
the list of .school books reloomnaends it
• to common sense, thoagh it will for-
ever remain one of the most popular
poems in the English laiguage." We
commend this very sensible and dispas-
sionate view of the matter to some of
those non-political but sectarian jour-
nals, and notably the Canada Presbyte-
rian, who are needlessly working them-
selves into a passioa over the
action of the Minister of Education,
and who profess to see in it the prelude
to the ruin and overthrow of Protestant-
ism in this fair Province of ours.
These very good paper, evidently, while
admitting the immoral tone of the poem,
would still overlook that objection to its
use in the public schools, so long as it
was opposed to or ridicnled Popery. For-
tunately, the Minister of Education has
more sense. While he committed a grave
error in permitting the authorization of
the book, his courage and decision in
forbidding its MO, when its objectiona-
ble character was pointed out to him,
are deserving of commendation instead
of censure. Had the Mail newspaper
and a few kindred spirits not thought
they could make a little political capital
o t of the affair on the eve of a general
ction, the public would
h ard or thought anything
P esbyterien and a few like
never have
f it, and the
it have fool-
ishly fallen into the trap which was so
adroitly set to catch them.

The Brussels Sho,,.
The fall show held under th: auspices
of the Grey Branch Agricultu al Society
came off at Brussels on F iday last.
The weather was all that coild be de-
sired,and the glow, upon ti e whole,
was one of the best and mos success-
ful held in the county this so son. The
attendance was large and th exhibits
were good and sufficiently varied to
create in every, department t • e keenest
competition. In fact noth ng could
more 'clearly demonstrate 1 he rapid
strides in progress which the magnifi-
ceut section of agricultera country
tributary to this society as Made
within the past few yeers, than, the
gradual but marked impro emerit in
the annual agricultural s4Ow, , both as
regards the extent and - qpality of; the
exhibits. The first show at ended by
the writer under the auspi es of this
society some thirteen years go, was a
sorry affair indeed. The e: hibitS in
the indoor department woul• scarcely
everload a good-sized wh elbarrow,
while the animals were few in. nuneber
and Peer in character. At' th shoeh on
Friday a large hall was era • med j full
with as nice a collection of ' a ticleS as
could be seen even at the lar est slows
of to -day, while many of th: aniinals
would do credit to any show ing or the
crrntinent.
The first thing which attia ted atten-
tion npon entering the 'pa 1 wast the
magnificent display of ladies' work and
specimens of fine art, whi h occupied
nearly the whole of one id- and em-
braced many articles pl asing to the
eye and of intricate and. Is il ul Work-
manship. Next came tli oots and
vegetables. The display he t i is depart-
ment was not large in coin a ison with
others, but the quality wa, s, fficientiv
choice to make up for 1ary lack in
quantity. The dieplay of , o se plants.
was large, varied and mo # ttractive,
our Old friend Mr. Thomas Kelly, of
Brussels, leading the van in this de-
partment, and figuring in the profes-
sional list without compht'tion. In
dairy products there was ap.
large display, and roan dee and
artistically arranged samples if butter.
The show of grain was not ery large,
bat the collection embraced HI any fine
samples, espeCially of wheat. We may
here mention a very nee* arranged
case " of all kinds of grain iommonly
grown in the Northwest. T ese speci-
mens were collected and exiibited by
Mr. J. R. Grants'. postmaster of Brus-
sels, and the taste with Wpi h he had
them arranged did him cr dit. Mr.
Hobson had his Northwes samples
also on exhibition.
In the field, the most ndti eable fea-
ture upon entering was the ar'e display
of agricultural implementSt various
kinds, and the wheeled vehilcl s. In .the
former department. we notic d several
implementa manufactured a d exhib-
ited by Mr. Thos. Hendreel of the Sea.
forth Foundry, and by Mr. W: Willson,
of Brussels, both of whonai make first-.
class implements, and, being reliable
"home men," deserve to be patronized
by our agriculturists. There Was a good
show of horses, especially in the General
Purpose Class, where the competition
was very keen and the Judges frequentfy
had eonsiderable of a tussle. There wag
also ii better and larger show in carriage
andaoadster horses than is usually seen
at
show in this section. Among the
singe drivers there were four or five as
fine 'animals as could be found in any
part of Ontario. The lack in heavy
draughts is being rapidly made up here
also, and in a few years more, if the
breeders persevere in well doing, they
will be fully up to any section of the
country. InLthoroughbred cattle there
was' not a very large show, but there
were a few very superior animals, but
the phow of .grades was both large and
good; nearly every animal shown gave
uninistakemble evidences of careful
breefling, and the cattle generally were
in godcondition. Of sheep there was an
unusually large show, Which was, how-
ever; confined mainly to Cotswolds and
Leicesters, but these Were as good a lot
as one would want to See. There were
a feW good Downs in the pens, and there
will!'oe a larger number next year. In
swi e there was not a large eholiv, but
MOS of the animals, were good, while
ilea ly all of them were better then the
ave age. There does not, however, seem
to -be as much interest taken in or 4tten-
tion paid to the breeding of pigs as to
either eattle or horses. Poultry were
well represented. The show was of Such
a character as to prove that the people
of the district not only value good birds,
but appreciate the benefits and profits
of hen fruit as well. All additional ii -
formation oan be gleated by a perusal
of tile following :— !
