We issue in full this week, the splendid e;peecbes delivered at To- ronto, by IIon. Messrs Laurier, and Mowat, and Mr Fisher, M. P. The speeches are well worthy of perusal and will be even good reading to those who do not agree with the views of the speakers.— The meeting was held under the auspices of the Young Liberals of Toronto. "Reciprocity would be detri- mental to Canada," allege some of the restrictionist papers. If this be true than the less trade we do with other nations tho bet- ter. Tho only reason those opposed to free. trade relations with the United States say it will lead to annexation, is because they are unable to meet tho arguments advanced by any other method. THE MORRIS FALL SHOW Sums: surprise has been occa• e,ioned by the r-etlteueo gassed upon a Caholic priest of North Carolina. lie committed a crimi- nal assault upon a young woman, for which be has been found guil- ty and sentenced to be hanged on the 9th of Nov. It is not at all likely that the. sentence will be carried into effect, imprisonment for life or some similar punishment will probably be substituted for it. People may not know that r the -legal sentence .for tiro game crime in Canada is heaging, but such is novertheless a fact. True, the sentence is neyer carried out, but the law is upon' the Statute Book. To some it may seem •a rigorous and unnecessarily severe method of dealing with a crimp against public morals, but we sometimes tbink that if the son- tence was occasionally carried into effect, the community would be all the better for it. The sentence on this point is somewhat remarkable from the fact that libidinous crimes pre- vail more largely in the southern states than elsewhere and aro not unusually regarded as of such a heinous nature. But no -doubt the fact of his exalted position would do much towards his con_ viction if the evidence was clear. Experience, we believe, has shown that tho use of the lash is the strongest deterrent for crime of this nature. It sums to have more terrors for would-be crimi- nhls than even the gallows, and if its use were more general perhap females would bo ,less liable to assault. While the world lasts, crines of this nature aro likely to occur, but they should bo dealt with ii, a way that will prove most ef'f'ective in preventing their repetition. Great I3ritain's trade with Can, ada is less than three per cent of the whole; discrimination or any- thing r : like natui o against Great Britain is not going to. cause them very much anxiety. iMr. Mowat stands to -day as the most upright and conscientious active political loader of the age, with an experience and record of which any man might be proud. And eves his bitter opponents 'admit this to be. true. The fall show at Blyth, always a good one, enjoyed exceptionally fine weather on Tuesday and Wednesday, jconsequeutly was well attended by a very large crowd of people, There was a splendid inside exhibit in all departments, the display of ladies' work being unusually large and One. On Tuesday evening the ball was packed by interested spectators, and iE was impossible to get around. The Doherty Organ Co. had an exhibit of their instruments and aleo the Oakes Organ Company. A small model of J. G. Mover's tin shop, in full blast, attracted considerable notice, aode�wyev a creditable piece of work. Wednes- day a very large crowd was present. There was a moderately good show of pigs, sheep and cattle, but in the horse classes the competitiort was keen, The show was in every respect a success and compared favorably with those held in much larger places. The Trade procession on Wednes- day morning was a th9rnugh success, and was evidently much enjoyed by the crowd who witnessed it. All who took per, are entitled to credit for tbeir i„trenuity and work, There were at:nut 40 rigs in the procession.

The Quebec W. C. T. U. annual convention wasin session at Mon- treal last week, and at it the fol- lowing statement.__ was made ; "That during the year 18885,514- 506 gallons of spirituous liquors were manufactured in Canada." This is an increase of more than one million Lallans over the pro_ duction of_ 1857, and represents one gallon to each man, woman, and child in t110 .Dominion. Tliis looks as if the Scott Act had de- creased, the amount of liquor con- sumed, while it was in operation. Canada, at the present time, just like a strong, vigorous; ener- getic mane; capable of accomplish- ing anything, but prevented from so doing because his hands are tied, As a country we have won- derful natueld resburces; all it wants is the opportunity of de- veloping them. The Consore-a- tivee lay "tighten, the bonds,lirnit .t19 9eope of usefulness," and they refuse to make any effortiwhereby all our manhood and strength might be used fora our material advancement. The Liberals say "Loosen the bonds; widen the field of .usefulness, throw off all restrictions, and we can develop our resources, compete in foreign R Johasou. Mixed pickles, R Mutoh, OUR If."'

Dain Silt, — Rave you been in Michigan? Are you aware of its rank in the Union ? Some in Cana- da, who advocate unlimited recipro- city, refuse to regard this as a repre- sentative State, deeming it below mediocrity. On a tabla here now lies vol. I of _nhe Michigan certt?taa tor 1884, which,. though rather old, may still be taken as relatively correct. From this I find that Michigan, in the production of copper, iron, salt and lumber,rauks, No. 1 ; in wheat, No. 4 ; in yield of rain per .+scre No. 1; potatoes, No. 4; in gross value of farms, No. 7; value of real .estate, No. 9. I will not fol- low this list further, as sufficient is giiien to show that this is one of the best states in the Uniop, and there- fore may be taken as a special unit to gauge the advantages of'reci procity. If free trade would greatly conduce to Canada's prosperity, by parity of reasoning we should infer that this Wolverine State is rapidly gathering in the shekels. Such, however, is not the case. Business is falling, terms are deserted. In this region are many farm louses, some of them extra good, -'which are without in- habitants. Large piles of hardwood logs lie spoiling in the yards of quiet saw mills. Real estate is not worth fifty per cent. of its valve five years ago. From the latest reports I learn that over forty-seven per cent of the farms. here are mortgaged for more than forty-six per cent of their assessed value. Similar, or more discourag- itg, reports come from Pennsylvania and many. other States. If to form closer commercial con- nection with the United States means that Canada is to become in any way more like this country,the Dominion,' we most assuredly think, would be a loser by the transaction. •: Educators and prominent newspa- pers are urging the idea of making patriotism a special branch to be taught in allthe public schools of the Republic. This ie right; just as it ought to be. How unlike the outa in Canada, who, for the sake of political position, descend to the sickening habit of belittling the Federation. T sought statistics on divorce, but found none. I asked a young lady if any such family lived in the vicinity. Reflecting a little, she counted twelve pairs within four miles of her. home. Later, I asked her mother the same question. Smiling, she answered, "I think about one fourth of the married couples have been divorced." I do not refer to this state of society as .a reproach, a; any condition is more tolerable than an unhappy mar- ri ge. Neither do I blame these geed folks for the growth of skepti- cism, which is become quite fashion- able. If there is one kind of freedom on which men are more touchy than than another, it is religious freedom. Creeds and politics are kin. Would you Bee how much fool there is in a man, oppose him on either of these topics, and you will easily find out. Some will sell their country for one, and their soul far the other. In this country every man is free eo think and vote as he chooses, and he vows he will do it. Deeply do I regret that Reformers ever indulged in disparaging talk about Canada, as such can only weak- en their influence, and strengthen their political foemen. N. away by party prejudice, must admit that tho Education Depart- ment has been vastly improved under Mr Roel adminstration, and the man who has grown up familiar with all the details of sebool work in Canada is not like ly to fail in the performance of a duty, when strict faithfulness in that respect 'has always been his leading virtue. ------�•+• a — -- • LADIES' WORE.—Arrasene work, Geo Nott, C Campbell.
