Tho two things that Canada wants more than anything to put her on the high road to prosperity is free trade and direct taxation. Politicann who talk of"legislut- iug in the farmer's interests," are just using misleading terms. The best legislation the farmer can have is to be left severely alone, as any tariff legislation, professed- ly in Lis interest, is more an in- jury than a blessing. Two Bowed Barley.

In the class specially referred to,lmanu- factures, which may include ladies' work, there were 127 prizes given, sand only 18 were awarded to parties in Blyth and a radius of five miles around it. I think that fact is a suf• ficient answer to the insinuation in question. I remain, yours truly, W. SLOAN, President. es, not one was up to weight. The shortness of the Canadian season is given as the reason why the grain will not till out, and if experience continues to bear this out, there will be no use whatever in growing this grain with the hope that it can be exported to Britain. Of course for home con- sumption, as feed, it may be better than the usual grain, but if we mistake not, it is not so many years since the growing of two - rowed barley was dropped by Canadian farmers, for the reason that it was not fit for the Ameri- can market. However as the far- mer has not that -f arket now, ho will have to grow just what ho thinks best, without reference to any special market. t he Preposterous, The ideas advanced by some people on the trade qudstion are so supremely ridiculous that one can hardly think they are offered in earnest. It is well known that Canada levies a heavy duty on im- ports from Great Britain, in many instances heavier than she does on imports from the States, yet a correspondent of the Empire has the presumption to think that Great Britain "might be persuad- ed to levya duty upon American products and manufactures, while admitting her colonies' free." If Britain were disposed to do so, for what reason should she favor her eolonies-Canad in this instance - We bavo shut out England's goods' nay, the Government organ said that "if the N. P. interfered with British connections so much the worse therefor." In no possible way have we given Great Britain any special consideration, and it is about the height of impudence to think that Eugland should turn round and favor us at the expense of her own people. But beyond this, England's aim and desire is to secure products at as low a rate as possible. There is no such thing as nation- al sentiment in its commerce laws, and there should not be anywhere else. The people of England do not care ono atom whether its beef, wheat, &c., ccme from Can- ada or Mexico. They will take all that can he sent, so long as it is good to sell and eat, but it never causes them a moment's concern as to what country it came from. The man who seriously writes about England levying a duty on imports,and ;especially breadstuffa, must be light in the upper story. The thing istoo absurd to consider seriously, for those who pay any attention to English affairs, know perfectly well that the masses THE VARNA SENSATION. To the Editor of the Clinton New Eric DEAR SIR, -I notice by the last two issues of the Clinton News•Re- cord some rather misleading com- ments on the recent magistrates cases held in Varna, re Wiggins vs Beatty and Beatty vs tviggius. The first trial was Mrs Wiggins vs Beatty, for indecent exposure, which was by far the most disgraceful and indecent offence ever brought before a J.P. in a civilized community, . in which Beatty was found guilty, and fined a small amount in proportion to the offence. During this trial the real nature of some of our would-be re- spectable citizens was brought out, trying to get out of their dirty scrape. In fact, during the whole trial there was the most degrading and disgrace- ful language used, which was actually not fit to be listened to, the like of which could only be uttered by those who are trying to persecute poor Wiggins, who has the sympathy of the respectable part of the communi- ty, in these cases; yet ever, in the midst of all the dirt and. profanity was a certain gentleman urging on the would-be persecutors. Owing to some illegal proceeding on the part of the magistrate, the case was quashed, but, nevertheless, the evi- dence taken proved to the satisfaction ot the J. P., that the defendant was guilty ot one of the most shameful acts that has ever been brought to light in a civilized community, and one which we hope will never again occur in this vicinity. Yours truly. ONE WHO KNOWS, Varna, Oct. 22, 1890. THE TOBACCO QUESTION. (CONTINOED) In the whole world of medical lit- erature there is probably no publica- tion that enjoys the universal confi- dence of its readers to as full an ex- tent as the London Lancet. Here is what appeared in its columns respect- ing the effect of tobacco on children : "Dr. G. Decaiene has submitted to the Society of Public Medicine the results of some interesting observa- tions concerning the effects due to the use of tobacco amongst boys. Thirty- • seven youth were placed in his Charge, whose ages varied from nine to fif- teen, and who were in the habit of smoking, though the abuse of tobacco varied in each case. The effects, of. coarse, also varied, but were very emphatic with twenty-seven out of the thirty-seven boys. With twenty- two patients there was a distinct dis- turbance of the circulation, fruit at the carotids, palpitation of the heart, deficiencies of digestion, sluggishness of intellect, and a craving, more or lees pronounced, for alcoholic stimu- lants. In thirteen instances there was an intermittent pulse. Analysis of the blood showed, in eight cases, a notable falling off in the red cor- puscles. Twelve boys suffered fre- quently from bleeding of the nose. Ten complained df agitated sleep and constant nightmare. Four boys bad ulcerated mouths, and one became the victim of pulmonary phthisis, a fact which Dr. Decaisne attributes to the deterioration of the blood, pro- duced by the long and excessive use of tobacco. As all these were more there aro so satisfied with tho ro- or less lymphatic, it was not possible sults of free trade, that there is to establish a comparison according to temperament; but of course the not the slightest possibility of younger the child the more marked their ever going back to proton were the symptoms. Y * Out of eleven boys who were induced to five duties. 1 cease smoking, six were completely restored t© normal health, after eta months, while the others continued to antler slightly for a year. Treat- ment with iron and quinine gate Co satisfactory results, and it seems evi- dent that the most effective, if not the only sure is at once to foreswear the habit, which to children, in any case, is undoubtedly pernicious." Such testimony, from such high authority, one would reasonably think could not do otherwise than carry conviction; but what signifies testi- mony, while we have so many amongst us, not only of those who are determined not to be convinced, but also of those who "know the right and yet the wrong pursue." As in illustration of this class, let me quote from the able pen of Dr. Holler back, Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics in the Electric Medical College of Pennsylvania, in his wofk on materia medics. page 269. He says, "It is remarkable that tobacco should have become so extensively used as a luxury, aince it is amongst the most nauseous, disgusting, sick- ening, dangerous, poisonous plants. All animals, except the goat, avoid its use. But man lessens his claim to intelligence and discretion, by smok- ing, chewing and snuffing it. Men are not content with smoking alone, but chew and snuff. Women are not satisfied with snuffing, but indulge in the exquisite pleasure of liningltheir moutLs with it. And now it is- not uncomwc n to see a boy eight years old with a cigar stuck in his mouth. Doctors prate about laws of health, and preachers advise temperance in all things, whilst• thousands of them are wholly given over to this must pernicious practice. Some say it was first adopted by priests nt Indian nations, for the purpose of appearing inspired under its use, and from which the low and vicious savages, and later, civilized men follow suit. It is utterly useless to moralize, and talk of reforming in this matter, for well migbt,we seek to turn the cur- rent of a mighty river, as to redeem the people from this ruinous infatua- tion. It is useless to charge this scourge to any man or class of men, as none can stop it.
