FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19. 1692
West linioti.
The mandate has gone forth that
Cameron is to be defeated in West
Huron, that no scruples es to methods
are to be felt, so long as the end is
obtained. One has but to take an
active part in the campaign to find out
some of the methods that are beieg
employed. The Liberals are always
willing to fight a contest on the public
issues ; they are willing to meet their
opponents on fair and square grounds;
they are content that the people should
be thej udges between respective policies
but when bribes in the shape of public
works and improvements are offered,
it is a "line of argument" that ceases
to be fair arid square, and is an induce-
ment, it inust be admitted, that is hard
to counteract:- •
If the people of West Huron are con-
tent with the depression, depreciation
in value, and general stagnation, so be
it. If, on the other hand, they desire
greater freedom of trade and increased
prosperity, they have an opportunity
of showing that desire by supporting
the Liberal policy on the 23rd of this
nientle.
Rather Premature,
Hon. David Mills recently declared
at a public meeting that even if the
ministerialists carried all the bye -elec-
tions the government would be defeat-
ed at the coming session. Mr Mills
believes, as many others do, that the
Liberals are in possession of informer
tion that will be used at the Approach-
ing session, which shouel defeat the
government, and which would defeat
it, were there men honest enough on
the government side to forsake party;
but Mr Mills cannot know that the
government will be defeated, and we
think he is 1M wise to say so. He may
oven thiqk they will. but a predictiou
.should not be based on that, and it is
unwise to make rash assertions of this
kind.
Two Factors—Not One.
• —
Morley doubtless was used on behalf
of Conservative nominees in...the...lett
bye -election, as stated in Liberal
newspapers. But this fact alone is not
sufficient to account for the Govern-
ment candidates success, — Toronto
News (Conservative.)
But stuffed voter's lists, together
with the use of money, accounts for it.
After the lists have been carefully re-
vised, as supposed, in some countie,s,
they have been sent to Ottawa to be
printed, and with what result:—the
names of Reformers have been dropped
from the lists in different polling divi-
sions, until enough have been left off
to give the other side a majority.
These two factors explain the defeat
of the Liberals in bye -election.
Wli y Change?
p to the present moenent we have
failed to see one sound and sufficient
reason advanced why the electors of
West Huron should cast their ballots
for Mr Patterson and not for Me Cam-
eron. The former is the rejected of
Essex, where he is well known, by a
majority of 849, and his platform is
wholly opposed to the interests of the
farmers of this riding, besides being a
condoner, if not a participant, in the
boodling transactions of his friends and
•associates at Ottawa. Mr Cameron is
a gentleman that has always advocated
and supported measures that had for
their object the prosperity of the farm.ers, Are the farmers willing and ready
to see their property become less val-
nable, and their profession less profi-
table, which will certainly be the case
if the present government are sustain-
ed in power? For many years past
the most profitable market for horses,
lambs, poultry, eggs, barley, &c., was
to the south of us, and if we were per-
mitted to import corn free of duty
far greater profit could be made imon
cattle then, by feeding them here, than
by sending them to England as stock-
ers, and then fattened there. Before
the N. P. was inaugurated, a large
business was carried on in the impor-
tation of oats and their manufacture
into oatmeal for the Scottish , market,
but since then we are actually import-
ing oatmeal from Ohio for home con-
sumption. Inetead of benefitting the
farmer, the N. P. strikes him every
time in the opposite direction. Now
is the time for him to show that he
knows where the shoe pinches and how
fio find relief. .

Failed in Their Mission.
-^
As the formation of a reciprocity
treaty between Canada and the United
States, thus • removing all restriction
between the two countries to com-
merce, would be the greatest commer-
cial boon that could be- conferred on
this country, therefore every well
wisher of the Dominion could not but
wish the consummation of any and
every effort put forth in this direction,
regardless of the parties by whom this
much -to -be -desired object is attained;
and, also, the failure to open up nego-
tiations for this purpose, if put forth
in good faith, is to be regretted.
Our readers already know of the
jaunt to Washington afew months ago
of our government for the professed
purpose of accomplishing the above
mentioned object, and also know what
was the , result. Last week a repeti-
tion of this excursion was made, cone
posed of three or foar of the ministry,
with private secretaries and other at-
tendants, proclaiming that they had
received an invitation from the Ameri-
can government, to go there and hold
intercourse for reciproeity negotia-
tions. • After one or two conferences
with Mr Blaine, of a merely formal
character, on Monday last Mr Blaine
plainly asked them whether they had
the power to complete and carry out
a treaty of reciprocity,and also whether
they would be willing to agree to a dif-
ference in duty as between the United
States and England. To tharst ques-
tion the ministry had to admit they
had not, which was confirmed by Sir
Julian Pauncefote, and to the second
they replied they would not, thus
• ruptlyekjngepg the conference to an
end, as they were not in a positFrao
either begin or conclude negotiations
honestly. Although this was the end
of the farce, so far as the trip was con-
cerned, they accomplished the object
they had in view from the start, and
that was to hiunbug the electors in the
several bye -elections that were in pro-
gress, that they were vigorously intent
in bringing about freer trade relations
with the United States. Now, what
can be thought of men, who ought to
have the interest and honor of the
country uppermost in their minds, re-
sorting to such bare -faced deception to
gain a party triumph? So far as freer
trade relations with the United States
are concerned we are further off than
ever, so long as the present men re-
main at the head of the government.
For some time past the government
have been repeatedly asserting that
they are ready at any moment to agree
to a reciprocity treaty with the United
States in natural products. If this
was true, how came it that they claim-
ed that the principal reason why the
electors of Lincoln should vote for
Neelon, the Conservative candidate,
was thatthey had re -imposed the
duties on fruit? But, in truth, they
are not sincere when they make this
assertion, for they know full well that
they cannot get reciprocity in natural
products. So far as a duty on fruit
for protective purposes is concerned,
it is not the truth. Early in the sea-
son similar fruits to what are grown in
Canada, corning frone the north, pay
duty, those who are willing to pay high
prices for luxuries pay it; but when
the Canadian crop ripens there is no
competition, and therefore the duty is
of no benefit to the producer. At the
present time the production of fruit,
native to the soil and climate, is in ad-
vance of consumption with the excep-
tiod of peaches, which is such an un-
certain crop. trees so short lived, and
the area so narrow upon which they
can be profitably grown, that it is not
probable that Canada will ever be able
fully to meet the demand for home
consumption in this fruit.
In a brief address to the Toronto
Young Liberals, on Monday, Hon Wil-
fred Laurier stated that "no matter if
the government carried every bye -elec-
tion, the position of the Liberals on
the trade qiiestion would remain the
same." '
Hand it in, DLetor.
At a certain meeting in a certain
county, a few days ago, Dr. Montague
made use of these words.
"I have the best of reasons for stating
that Mr Cameron, of 'West Huron, will
not be seen in this country again; that
he will not be a candidate again; furth-
er,I am sosure of this, that I offer to re-
tire from public life if %%drat I state is
not true."
Now Mr Cameron is in this county,
he is a candidate, and it is in order for
the valiant doctor to hand in his resig-
nation.;
L >sing rade Again
In consequence of the interference
of the Canadian Government the New-
foundland Government was not per-
mitted to bring to completion negoti-
ations that were in progression with
the Government of the United States,
in relation. to a reciprocity arrange-
ment of their commerce; this obstruc-
tion so offended the Newjoundland
Government that they have lately
made a differential tariff on flour to
the extent ot seventy five cents in favi
of the United States—Canada being
charged $1.05, and the States thirty
cents a barrel duty. As that province
consumers annually about 300,000 bar-
rels of flour, it will be seen what a great.
loss Canada will sustain by this act,
for, of course, the millers of the United
States will now supply that market.
This is another fact to show how the
present government are closing aven-
ues of trade instead of opening them
to the commerce of Canada.
lIow about Barley.
Farmers who do not think they are
loeing money on barley, should ponder
over the following 'figures from the
_ --
Empire of Wednesday:—
Barley in Toronto: --48 to 50c.
Choice No.2 Canada, in Buffalo: -85c..
Some Pertinent Questions.
1. Why has Michigan grown nearly
three times as much as Ontario, during
the last ten years? Why have all the
States about us increased three to five-
fold as fast as We have.
2. Why, if Michigan, Ohio and New
York have now with free trade of the
continent several times the amount
of manufacturing per head we have,
and are increasing their output every
year enormously, is it that we stand
still?
3. Tell us why the people of the
United States send us more manufact-
ured goods now than in 1878, although
the wall is twice as high now as then.
Is it not because the larger market
enables them to produce so much
cheaper? They have the greatest free
trade in the world outside of Great
Britain. They have a market of
62,000,000, and they have just added
21,000,000 more to it by the various
reciprocity treaties already consune
mated.
4. Will they tell us why, after spend-
ing $50,000,000 on canals, we don't
have shipyards or build vessels?
5. Will they tell us what will ever
develop our mines save ,the American
market?
6. Will they tell why business is
dull? Why there is no demand for
real estate? Why our young men
go away?
Not Prosperous After All.
The following paragraph is taken
from the Ottawa corresponnence of the
"It is evident that the Patrons of
-Industry are going to make anlenergetic
effort during the coming session to se-
cure a reduction in the duties on certain
commodities if petitioning cant do it.
Already printed forms of 'petition are
being circulated for signature through-
out the country, and one of these
reached the Department of Agriculture
to -day, signed by a large number of
persons. The petition represents that
the agricultural interests of the country
are not in as prosperom a condition as the
farmers desire, and that tariff manufacturing
interests of the country had been taken advant-
age of by Ore manufacturers to unduly enhance
the price of many articles which are indispets.
abk to the farmers in carrying on their ,ora -
/ion. The petitioners therefore pray
that coal oil. binder twine and iron and
its products be placed on the free list,"
The Patron's surely don't know what
they are talking Omit; haven't they
been told over and over again that they
are prosperous; and that the de ties don 't
enhance the price of any article. If
the Patrons are sincereen there peti tions
let them show it by voting for the can-
didate who will do the most "p secure
what they desire.
Mr Laurier in Huron,
F118 SPEECH AT GODERICH.
Hon. Wilfred Laurier went to Gode-
rich, on Tuesday', to speak on behalf of
Mr Cameron. Hundreds of people
were crowded about the railway station
there when the train came in, and when
he stepped to the platform they swung
their hats in the air and cheered him
again and again.. Most of the men
wore on. their coats the red badges of
their party, and as they surged about
their leader the full4lun ed welcome
they gave him drowned the strains of
the brass band. Mr Laurier acknow
'edged the greeting with the courtly
courtesy for which he is remarkable,
and a procession was formed to escort
him to the town, the band, with stir-
ring music, leading the way. On the
sidewalks a crowd of pedestrians ac-
companied the procession, and in win-
dows and doorways along the streets
householders and their families stood
while it passed.
An addeess was presented to Mr
Laurier at the opera house, which was
full to the doom, and the large as-
semblage rose to their feet when Mr
Laurier and Mr Cameron paesed up
the aisle to the platform and filled the
building with rousing cheers.
Mr Laurier, replying, said the ad-
dress was too flattering to him, but he
thanked them all the more because of
that. The references in it which hrid
pleased him most were those to his old
friend, Mr Cameron. He paid a high
tribute to Mr Cameron's value in Par-
liament, and spoke of the great loss it
would he to him and to the country if
I.e was not present at the coming ses-
sion. He was a fighter, and that was
what the country needed—men to
whom fear is unknown, who are ever
in the breach and a terror to evil do-
ers. He had come irp here, not because
he flattered himself he could be of as-
sistance, but although his health was
not what it should be he had come to
show his good will.
In the evening there was a monster
demonstration and mass meeting. Mr
-Laurier and Mr Cameron were escort-
ed to the OperaHouse by a great torch-
light procession— .Theeeevere hundreds:
ot torches carried by men who made
the evening clamorous with their
cheers. And when the flaming line
swung around the Court House sqnare
rockets and Roman candles and cal-
cium lights added to its brilliance
while the brass band played lustily.,
It has been the inost magnificent poli-
tical demonstration ever held in Gode-
rich. ° In the opera house there was a
crush that left no room anywhere;
every square foot was filled. There
were many ladies present who listened
interestedly to the speeches, and seem-
ed to enjoy the enthusiasm of the oc-
casion. Mr Joseph Williams was chair-
man, and speakers of the evening were
Messrs Laurier, Cameron, Crerar, of
Hamilton, and Mr T. R. Preston.
Mr Cameron dealt largely with his
personal and public record, speaking
for thirty minutes.
Mr Laurier was given a grand recep-
tion which lasted for several minutes.
The audience stood np and cheered hire
to the echo after acknowledging his re-
ception and making some slight per-
sonal references to himself, he dealt
minutely with the trade question Itnd
although yet troubled with an affection
of the throat, spoke fluently, forcibly
and eloquently for about an hour.
Speaking about the "disloyalty" cry
he said that his loyalty did not
run in his blood as with those who
heard him, bnt it sprang from his heart
out of gratitude for what Britain had
done for his countrymen. He loved
Britain, but he loved Canada more.
The cry that his policy was disloyal
would not bear investigation. The
teaching he had learned from England
was to look to the prosperity of his
native land. This contest would show
whether the people of West Huron
were subservient to others interests
than those of Canada. He hoped that
when they gave their votes next Tues-
daythat they would do it for Canada
first, Canada last and Canada all the
time.
Mr Crerar,' of Hamilton,'next spoke,
and amused, instructed and entertain-
ed the audience ; he is a typical cam-
paign fighter, quick as a flash ; witty,
full of vim, and those who listened to
him, friend and foe, found his argu•
merits irrefutable.
Mr Preston, Secretary of Reform
Association of Ontario, was called for,
and spoke for about 30 minutes. He
is a hustler on the platform, his men-
tal storehouse being filled with polit-
ical facts; he spoke with no effort, yet
with considerable power an wonder-
ful] freedom.
Thee° cheers for Cameron and the
Queen. closed the meeting. The order
during the early part of it was far
from good, due doubtless to the feet
that the room was too crowded, and
the presence of a few Conservatives,
bent on mischief. One prominent
Conservative, who may or may not
have been the cause of the trouble,
was unceremoniously fired out.
Mr Laurier attended a meeting at
Dungannon next day, and on his re—
turn east a number of his supporters
had the pleasure of spending b few
minutes with him at Clinton station.

TORONTO LETTER.
Notes gathered in and about the
Legislative Halls
(Speeial correspondence)
The Local Legislature was opened on
Thursday last by Chief Justice Hager-
ty, his honor the Lieut -Governor, being
incapaciated by illness from perform-
ing the gubernatorial duties. While
the opening ceremonies were being
performed, and the speech from the
throne read, the members were, for the
time being, driven from their seats on
the floor of the houee by the great
numbers of the fair sex who are always
present on such occasions to grace the
ceremonies.
We missed the genial countenance of
the late lamented. Col. Gilmour, who
had been clerk of the House for so many
years. The present occupant of the
position, however, will be a worthy
Successor of one who was so universally
esteemed. This is the last session in
the old buildings, and few of the mem-
bers will regret leaving the tumble-
down barracks for the handsome and
counnodious buildings in Queen's Park.
The Attorney -General looks as vigor-
ous as the youngest of his colleagues,
and displays no sign ofadva,ncingyears.
He takes good care of henself, however.,
and his tin footstool of hot water is
always ready for him each day when
he takes- his place.
Regret was expressed on both sides
of the house at the temporary absence
of the Commissioner of Public Works.
Mr. Fraser, though a man of powerful
intellect, of comprehensive adminis-
trative ability, and considered by many
the ablest speaker in the house, is by
no means strong physically, but it is
hoped he will he sufficiently restored
to health to take part in the proceed-
ings of the house at a later date.
Mr Meredith, the leader of the op-
position, is personally very popular in
the house; and the little band of Con-
servatives may thank their stars he
was not elevated to the Commene, as
without him they would be almost a
'nonentity in the house.
The speech from the throne indicates
progressive legislation in the interests
of the farmers. In fact, the Mowat
government has done everything with-
in its power to advance the interests of
the fa-rminerelasseseed the eemmunity„
The consolidation of the it iunicipal laws
will form one of the important features
of this session's legislation. The At-
torney General hopes, and we trust
his hopes will be realized, that there
will be no more amendments to these
laws for some time to come.
The idea of forming a forest reserva-
tion is an excellent one, as the denud-
ing of the country of its trees at the
headwaters of the streams is likely to
bring about in time serious climatic
changes.
Monday the work of the session be-
gan in earnest. The first shots were fir-
ed across the floor of the hous6 and no
one was seriously injured.
Mr Biggar, the mover of the resolu-
tion, in reply to the speech from
the throne, made a passing reference
to the annexation sentiments of Sol.
White. This roused the ire of Mr
Meredith, who with great splut-
ter and splash, vociforously de-
fended the loyalty of his tarty. He
pretended to repudiate White and his
principles; but oh, how mild and gentle
was his repudiation. White, however,
takes no stock in the repudiafion,, but
declares ehimself a loyal- supporter of
the Conservative party, and well may
heconsider himself in full accord with
the Tory chiefs, for was not J. C. Pat-
terson, Secretary of State; his spons-
er at the last provincial elections, no-
minating him as candidate in the Con-
servative interests. Yet this same
man Patterson has the audacity to
stalk through West Huron, waving
the old flag, denouncing the Grits as
traitors, annexationists, when he him-
self nominated, supported and aided in
electing the only avowed annexation-
ist in the country. More another
time,for the present au r6voir. R.B.J.S
THAT CONFEDERATION.
2'o the Editor of the New Era.
SIR:—Will You kindly allow me space
in the columns ofeyour paper,:to say a
few words with regard to the new so-
ciety, that subscriber so blindly at-
temptedlto misrepresent, in the columns
of your last issue, it is true. There is
a society known as the Confederation
of Voters in the West Ridingof Huron,
but sebsciber need not be alarmed. We
are not going to rob him'of his means
of making a livelihood, by taking away
boodling fame which he evidently de-
serves by his blindly following either
of the political parties of Canada, who
by their stealing at Ottawa and Que-
bec have brought the fair nameof Can-
ada into disgrace and made her a bye -
word and reproach among the civilized
nations of the world., The society
wants no advice from men that have
been evidently blackballed from
its ranks, and if sebscriber spent as
much time in reading fair minded li-
terature, as members of the society do,
he would not have so much time med-
dling with matters that don't concern
him, and he might at some future day
win at the poles, and get the reward
offered by our good Queen, of 250 for
man that could mind his own business.
