SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Jan. 6th, 1899
South Huron Reformers.
Theannual meeting of the Reform hem -
elation of South Huron, as constituted for
Dominion purposes, will be held in Dixon's
hall, Brucefield, on Tuesday, January 17th,
at one o'clock in the afternoon. It is ear-
nestly desired that there be a good attend-
ance of Liberals from every section of the
riding, as important matters are to be dealt
with.
Why Not Help Our Own Boys?
Mr. J. J. Ryan, in his letter in T*B
EXPOSTIOR of last week, descriptive of the
Deekhobors, made a suggestion which may
well engage the [attention of our public
men, and especial y those who are interest-
ing themselves in
of inducing emigr
the purpose of fill
waste lands in
where. He point
That immense su

the increase in po
the very important work
tion te this country for
ng up and populating our
he Northwest and else -
out what is a fact, viz:
of money are annually
r the purpose of securing
to this country, and that
e large number of emi-
e here from year to year,
• Illation has been almost
imperceptible dur ng the last decade. He
*mounts for this tate of things by the fact
that so many of Or QWn young men, native
born Canadians, go to the United Sates
ti and elsewhere to make a living. As a rem-
it edy for this leakage, he suggests that the
Government should give greater encourage-
ment to our own young men to induce them
to remain in the country. The suggestion
is, undoubtedly, a good one, and one well
deservieg , the attention of the Canadian
authorities.
The Government, now more than ever be-
fore, are putting forth strenuous exertions
to secure emigrants from all parts of the
world, and, we are pleased to notice, are
meeting With fairly good success, as a
greater number of emigrants have settled in
the Northwest during the past year than in
any single year preceding this one. A
praiseworthy effort is also being Made to in-
duce Canadians who have located in the
United States to return to Canada, and to
settle in the Canadian Northwest. These
efforts are all laudable in themselves, and
money spent in that way will produce a
good return. But, after all, could not much
of this money be more profitably expended
in helping and -encouraging our young men
to settle upon our vacant lands, and in this
way retain them in the vountry instead of
permitting them to go to the United States
to build up and enrich that country. Mich-
igan, Minnesota and the Dakotas are filled
with Canadians. • Many of the best and
most prosperous settlers in the States are
Canadian born. Had these men all, or the
• largest proportion of them, been' kept in
Canada, what a great source of wealth they
would be to this.country. It is time that
something was being done to stop this leak.
It is quite proper to encourage emigrants
from foreign ceuntries to settle here, but
• our own 'young men, the sons of our own
farmers, are far more valuable to us than
any emigrants we can get from foTeign
lands. Why not, therefore, make a special
effort to keep them here? Immense Hums
of money are spent annually in empinying
agents to place the adventegee of this ceun-
try before the people o'f foreign lands the
transportation of emigrants from foileign
countries s provided for out of the public
treasury, iwhile from the same source thee
new settlers are advanced means to give
them a start upon the lands which are 4iven
to them. Now, while all this is being one
for foreigners, whet is being done for our
own young men? Simply nothing. t is
computed that one Canadian is worth two
foreigners as a ettler. Whether or not
this is the case, there is no doubt but hey
are equally valuable. • Why then expe d so
much on foreigners and nothing at al on
our own Canadians. There are hundre s of
Canadian young men, sons of farmers and
others, as fine young fellows as any e-ountry
can produce, who would gladly go to the
Northwest and take up land if they 1141 the
means, and who would make the besti, and
most valuable settlers. It is true that they
eau get the land free, but the land not
worth inu'ch to them unless they have the
meant! of ultivating it. Now, if the GO.-
_
arreneet onld use a portion of this tnoneyt
which they are now expending in fereian
emigration, in assisting young Canadians Ito
get a:start on their homesteads, we ar4 suae
• the eopenditure would be much mo4c ad-
vantotgem s to the country. f a sdheie
could be devised, and surely it con d bie,
whereby the Government would advance to
these young men a suflieient sum to e able
them to ertylt the nera.mary bnildin re on
theirholdinge ; to geu thy •laquive I thIple-
ments and other neceese.ria o enable thent
to put in their first crop, an :n this ay [to
get a start, and have this mot. ey rep id in
instalments at a very low rate of int retst,
we are sure there are many who would be
glad to take advantage of such an offer In
this way, we would not only obtah the
most desirable class of settlers on our wild
lands, but we would also be retainingt the
flower of 'our own people, and we vrlould
have their assistance in building up our \own
a
11
country instead of their going to foreig,
countries to expend their energies in build-
ing up these other countries. Surely it
would be more profitable to keep them here
in the first place, than to lei them drift
away as has been done in the pipit, and
then spend money in trying tO induce them
to return.
Penny Postage. .
The Postmaster Genera; , has given the
people of thiS country what Iniay be termed
a New Year's surprise. it hale been known
for same time that when the Ilion. William
• Muloe,k was in the old country some months
ago he completed arrangements for inter-
• natio al penny postage. Hitherto the post-
age ulpon letters going to Great Britain and
otherj foreign countries was five cents. On
Christ mas day the new arrangement 'same
into force, and since then the postage on
,these letters hat only been two cents. Dur-
ing t e last session of the Dominion Parlia-
ment in the new postal act which was pass-
ed, tie Government were given power to
reduce the postage on domestic letters to
two cents also, so soon as they coneidered
the n cessities of revenue would justify such
decre8 e. Notwithstanding this action,
howe er, it was not supposed by the out-
side ublio that this reduction would take
place or some time. This feeling, also, was
stren thed by the silence of the government
and dipartment on the subject: No hint
Was given that the change wire even contem-
plated in the near future, until the public
were surprised on Friday least by an official
annoutnement in the Globe to the effect
that Whad been decided that on and after
the first of January the rate of postage on
lettere in Canada and to the United States
would be only two cants instead of three
cents as formerly. The announcement was
received with manifestations of satisfaction
in many quarters. The wisdom of the step,
however, will be shown by future results.
The reduction in Imperial postage was
nota matter of very great importance either
way. The gain to the general public will
be but trifling, while the loss to the revenue
will be correspondingly email, as the corre.
epondence between this `Country and Great
Britain is very light and a cent either way
is not a matter of serious import, only a
few large business firms, at most, being
much affected. With domestic postage,
however, it is quite different. A reduction
of one-third in the domestic postal rate
• means a great cleat. It will effect an im-
portant saving to every business house in
the country. Manufacturers, banks, loan
companies, merchants and all branches of•
business and commerce will be beneficially'
affected. To many the reduction will
amount to a saving of hundreds of dollars
annually on the amount of correspondenc
done. As an example, we may ,state th t
to one of the banking houses in Seaforth,
the saving, blued on the correspondence if
last year, will amount to about one hundre
and twenty-five dollars,and a retail mercantil
firm will save over twenty-five dollars, an
so on all around. Unfortunately, howeve
it is rich corpaations and those who nee
relief least-who•will reap the largest benefi
from the change. Whether or not the ai
thus given to these classes will so stimulat
trade and commerce as to indirectly benefi
those who are not directly affected by th
a
reduction, remains to be seen.
We must confess that we have our doubt
as to the wisdom or propriety of this actio
on the part of the government. If the y
duction will result in so stimulatin
correspondence that the increased nu
ber of letters passing through th
mails will make up for .the de-
ficiency in the postal department which th
reduction will mute, all right. But, if th
will not be the

ustifying his course to
reduction will be a direct
hem community ; it will
be no direct benefit, to speak of, to the
farmer, artisan and laborer. If, therefore,
the, reduction creates a deficit in the depart-
ment, that deficit must be made up by in.
creased taxation on some other commod itY,
ea that one section will have to pay for the 1
advantages which are extended to anoth or
section and without receiving any cozies-
pondin benefit for the increased taxation '
that h a been imposed upon theta. Why,

be req ired to pay more forhis tea or his

m nt, the reduction is all right ; it it will
tint do his, it is all wrong. If the Govern-
ment c n afford to carry letters for two

ts, e should all rejoice at the reduction.
Bt it as no right to do a servioe for one
class o community at the expense of
anothe class.

An Amerktcan on Protection.
A St. Louis newspaper says of the Amer-
ican tariff that instead of putting abundant
revenue into the treasury it, to a considerable
extent, keeps it out. The taxing power is
transferred from[ the Government to manu-
facturers. It has made hundreds million-
aires, kept tens pf thousands from becoming
legitimately pro peroue, held hundreds of
thousands on th ragged edge • of bare sub-
sistence, and so*n poverty and privation in
many places. That has been the universal
history of commercial obstructions, the ex-
tent of their results depending on duration,
scope and general design. The statement is
prefaced by the declaration that the original
necessity for the tariff no longer exists.
That general u 'e of the term "necessity,"
without reflectin that it is a word of poled-
& application, i& responsible for many leg-
ielative miatake . ri7o what end or result
was the tariff a ecessity ? is a question evi-
dently not cone dered. If the tariff ever
acted or exerted an influence, it was by
putting the taxiig power in the hands of
the protected. hat they collected through
it they took fr m other members of the
community, and every consequent expan-
sion of busines was accompaniedby a
greater conseque4it detraction. This is true
of primitive conditions as of the most ad-
vanced period of industrial development.

of Carmel church was held in the basement
on Wednesday evening. Considering the
'steady downpour of rain throughout the
evening, there was a good attendance. The
disagreeableness. of the weather did not
effeot those present, every one was in their
happiest mood. This resulted largely from
the encouraging nature of the reports pre -
aerated by the Session, Treasurer And the
elifferent auxiliaries of the oongregation.
There were thirty-two additions to the mem-
bership • during the year, The Sabbath
school and Women's Foreign Missionary So-
ciety reported the most prosperous year in
the history", Of the congregation, showing
faithful and earnest work on the part of
teachers and officers. Interest centered in
the Treasurer's report. On account of the
extra expenditure in connection with the
enlargement and repairing of the -church, it
was thought there would be difficulty in
meeting it out of the ordinary revenue. The
report showed, however, that after meeting
all indebtedness, there was a balance in the
treasury of $54. The total income from ail
sources for the year was $2,918.11. The ex-
tra liability on the part of the congregation
to provide for their own need anti comfort,
did not lead them to forget othersOut of
the above amount the sum of $018 was chit-
tributed to the schemes Of the church. The
congregation enters upon a new year full of
heart and hope. .
