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. semeeimeemeamaism 6 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. . a 11 6 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 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.
