TH CLINTON NEW ElIA.,
Scandalous Appeals to Cupidity.
A bye -election is in progress in Wel-
land, and the very same appeals are
being put forth by the Conservative
papers that were used in the West
Enron contest. The Welland Tele-
';..,grayh says "support the government
candidate and we will get public build-
" info, go against him and we won't."
Xf tbis is :not an atrocious species of
• bribery, we would like to know what
it is, and it is refreshing to find that at
least one Conservative paper has the
•
Manliness to rebuke it. The; Toronto
News says:—
"Such appeals as these are a dlr.'s -
grace to the Conservative party, under
the auspices of which they are issued,
and will put shame upon the County
•of Welland if they are responded to in
the Manner hoped for by the authors
of them. If Canadians can only be in-
‘duced to vote tor the preservation of
;their national existence by the pur-
chasing power of public patronage, let
the grave close over our aspirations as
quickly as possible for then indeed are
we unfit to live."
Facts Only.
The G:oderich Star takes the NEW
ERA to task for republishing Mr. D.
• W. Ross' leqer to the Montreal Wit-
ness,"The mystery of the by-elections."
As Mr Ross contributes a second letter
• to our columns this week, it is unnec-
essary for us to deal. in detail with the
statements of the Star, that being
done by Mr Ross. It is quite evident,
'however, from the Star article, that
the editor knows very little about
trade or commerce, or he would,
not display the ignorance he
does in discussing the matter. , The
Star's reference to salt, even, is in sub-
lime ignorance of the facts, and the
allusion to new- wellsgoing down at
Windsor and Sarnia shows that it
4' only sees things on the surface:
• Mr Ross' estimate of price paid for
votes in West Huron is possibly'khigh..
It is an unfortunate condition of mor-
rals that they can be purchased at a
lower figure than he places them at.
But if the Star wants any sane person
stcrbelieves4tratrioritoterWs
not Used
freely in the late election, it must con-
vince them against the evidence of
their own senses. Weeks before the
election came off, the NEw ERA was
informed froin what it believes to he
reliable sources. that one man alone,
interested in a certain "protected" line
of business, offered to put up $50,000 to
eet the expenses of Hon. J. C. Pat-
terson; we do not pretend to know that
thmonoywasput ttp -but- -the-cir,-
..‘44 pumstances that followed look very
much like it.
The proposal t hat, parliament should
erect a monument to MrMackenzie is
one that would be opposed to his own
wishes.
From the moment that the late
Alexander Mackenzie was rejected as
Premier, the political morals of this
pountry have been going backward.
The question of "preferential duties'
'was again discussed in the House this
week. The crack of doom will hav
'sounded before ever English statesr en
will consent to any such unsc and
principle, and the men who ad. tocate
it know this, but for siniste, motives
they prefer to deceive the people.
What process of evohhon does a
iman pass through who itt one time is a
rabid Grit, and shortlsiafterward bobs
up as a possible 94nservative candi-
date. This is the/position of Mr E. E.
Sheppard, of Toibnto, who at one.tarne
was editor offhe St. Thomas Journal,
,orie of the sialinchest of Liberal papers.
The Toronto Telegram thinks so
little of the Conservative candidate,
el:10 is running for H. E. Clarke's shoes
In Toronto, that it says "a wooden
po'i •
Mari would be just as serviceable in
the Legislature." All the same he is
• likely to be elected, as a Liberal has
not much more chance of being elected
in Toronto than one would have of
being elected Reeve of Goderich town-
ship.
"billy McLean," of the Toronto
World, is the Conservative nominee
for East York. It is reported that
Hon. Edward Blake will be offered
the Liberal nomination, and should
he accept, the contest will be decided-
ly though there is as, much
d'fference between the two men as
there is between daytigbt and darkness.
McLean has no conscience whatever,
but, nevertheless, he is a ard candi-
date to beat.
When you say "Philips Thomson" is
one ot the candidates for the Toronto
vacancy in the Local House, nobody un-
d.A.V
thosiznkriowel -Who le Meant. but -
if you say it is "Jirauel Briggs," then
everybody at once smiles and says,
"Why that's the fellow who used to
write the sketches from (Joboconk col-
lege, that made the Mail famous."
Exactly, and both names indicate:the
one person.
There may be some annexationists
in the Liberal ranks, but so far none of
them have had the "gall" to occupy a
seat in the Legislature, and at the same
time stump in favor of annexation);
nor has any Liberal of annexation pro-
clivities had the nerve to run as an an-
nexation candidate like Mr E. A. Mac-
donald is doing in Toronto. It was
left for members of the Conservative
party to do this, whom the Goderich
Star admits have not yet been dropped
from the ranks of duly qualified mem-
bers.
He is Posted.
The Globe, in its parliamentary re-
port of the debate on binder twine,
says :—
" Mr McMillan (Huron) made a rat-
tling and convincing •speech upon the
subject. In reply to the challenge of
Mr Fairbairn he quoted the evidence
given before the Parliament Combines
Committee by Mr H. A. Massey, of
Toronto, to the effect that his firm
could purchase twine in the United
States, pay the duty and lay it down
in Canada as cheaply as it could be
procured here. If the binding twine
duty was a part of the National Policy,
the farmers need not expect much re-
lief from the Government. He contro-
verted by a series of interesting statis-
tical statements the assertion made on
the other side of the House that Great
Britain was Canada's best market. He
showed that the United States was our,
market for barley, horses and many
other products of the farm. Speaking
to the resolution, he made a forcible
presentation of the arguments for the
abolition of the duty. He concluded
his remarks with the observation that
heavy as the tax on the farmers for
binder twine had been he believed they
would be worse than ever next year.
Political Points.
Attorney General Mowat has gone to a
New York health resort for a rest after the
the drudgery of the parliamentary session.
Mr David Scrimgeour, of Stratford, has
been nominated by the Conservatives of
North Perth.
The writ has been issued for a new elec-
tion in East York, rendered necessary by
the death of the member, Hon. Alexander
Mackenzie. Nominations will be held May
4 and election May 11.
R. H. McGreevy,of Quebec, the well-
known politician, has been sent to jail
for one year, the judge remarking that
fo2 his running away he would
have been sentenced to but six months..
The name of Mr Edward Blake is again
mentioned by rumor as the Liberal candi-
date for East York. Should the Liberal
convention tender him a nomination he will
probably accept on a platform of Canadian
independence, with either free trade with all
countries or commerical union with the
United States.
It is in contemplation to issue a volume
containing a biography and reminiscences
with the eulogies and funeral services of the
late Hon. A. Mackenzie. ° The editorship
Will be under the revision of the late. scates-
man'sbrother, Mr Chas. Mackenzie, M.PP.,
together with a brief biography and preface
by Mr Mowat The work will be issued
early in May.
"Time is what we want." These
words are said to be a fair summary of
the Dominion Government's policy.
If the Edgar charges are proved, time
may not be what the Government
wants, but time to the extent of five
years or more, in Kingston, is what
Sir Adolphe Caron needs.—Toronto
Telegram, Conservative.
It has come out that friends of Sir
Adolphe ,Ga' rren approached Senator -Pellet-
ier with the object of getting him to induce
his Liberal friends in the House of Commons
to drop the Edgar charges. They intimated
that if this was done nothing more would be
heard of the prosecutions against Messrs
Mercier, Longelier and Pacaud. These
representations were repeated to Mr Laur-
ier, who at once repudiated any such ar-
rangement, and declared that the Liberals
would not for one moment entertain any
proposals looking to the dropping of the
Quebec prosecutions.
Hamilton Herald' ".%easervative)—What
is the matter Wel' this country that so
many per's .,.re leaving it a'nd locating in
the 'United States? Deputy -Consul Bel. 1
knap, who has had charge of the office
'len during the four week's absence in
Ohio of Colonel Monaghan, says that be is
called on to assist from two to four families
every day in removing their household
effects across the line. At this rate, it is
little wonder there are vacant houses in the
cities and towns and untenanted farms in
the country, and the troublesome thing
about it is that no one is prepared to sug-
gest a remedy that will meet with general
acceptance.
Conservative leaders may just as well
understand that the usefulness of Mer-
cier as a means of scaring public at-
tention away from charges against
alleged wrong -doers at Ottawa has de-
parted. Mercier is dead, and thieves as
vile as he are in the regenerated Quebec
Cabinet. It may be that his peers in
guilt are in the Government at Ottawa.
That is what the country wants to
know, and if Sir John Thompson does
not enable Canada to know the worst,
it will know the worst. Mercier has
sinned, and he has suffered. He is not
sinnerabove all sinners, and the Dom-
inion Government cannot, divert atten-
tion from charges against its own mem-
bers by advertising the infamy of the
Roman Count. — Toronto Telegram,

A GOOD MAN, BUT A TORY.—A real
live commercial man is H. Cantelon, of
this town, and he is also fully appreci-
ated by the large carriage firm of Mc-
Laughlin, Oshawa, which he repres-
ents. Unsolicited they made a consid-
erable raise in his salary a short time
since as a mark of esteem in which
they hold him. Last year he doubled
his orders. Thus, sir, is it not a pity,
that such an excellent citizen, and a
thoroughly posted business man should
be a Tory? The whole Cantelon family
(which are many) are amongst the first
business men of the town, but yet
withal, like their brother Harry, they
are alillories. Alas, alas!—Clinton cor-

To the Alitor Rhe Clinton 2fcto Eraj. . ..
DEAR Sia.JA- friend has handed me
oopy of the last issue of the Goderich $t
an asteroid of the ilftheth magnitudeeel
Ing attention to a letter of mine, whic
yen transferred to your columns from th
Montreal Witness. The oouutry Tor
Press is in a bad plight. It ie ()Rioted t
grind over again, without oorapeneatio
the grist of the organs at the large Com
menial centres, which are maintained b
subsidy and subvention'Arom the govern
ment and from the rings, without whio
the great organs could not IWO. Fro
these poisoned springs the country Tor
Press is compelled to suck its nouriehmen
IOne of the brightest of these, the Owe
Sound Sun, oomplains bitterly of this oon
dipion. and on the ground of the negleo
with which they were treated, accounts f
(the fact that leas than a third of the new
papers of Ontario supported Sir John Ma
onald. This third is a sickly lot. Th
asteroid in question, as becomes a she
fed on unwholesome diet, in the absence
fact or argument, resorts to the dune
weapon, calls names, distorts statement
It manifests deplorable igaoranoe in othe
respects, but confesses ignorance of th
sugar duties, a subjeot which . has bee
keenly debated in and out of Parliamen
for 12 years. He says they are not $16 pe
ton, but he says he does not know. He al
so drivels about the salt and coal oil dutie
in ntter ignorance of the faots.
The sugar duties, about whioh so mno
has been spoken and written, but whie
the Starlet man has not read, were abou
si cents per pound until they were modified
last session and reduced to 016 per ton
The old rate brought three and a half mil
lions into the revenue. The reduced dut
ies are almost entirely in favor of monopo
ly, and produce scarcely any revenue. The
admit free the raw material of the Refine
but nothing else. They give the refiner a
undue advantage over the importer of $1
per ton, and if the importer dares to brea
prices the refiner ean undersell him in hi
tonality by that amount without any loss
and so ruin him, as they have done to sev
eral enterprising houses in Montreal and
Toronto, who attempted to give the peopie
cheaper and better sugar. They can in
fact make the $16 as much as $40 per ton
and defy the importer. They and othe
rings have done this before and can do i
again, without any peril exo4it that public
indignation maybe aroused to such a degree
as to involve their utter annihilation. This
we shall presently see. About 1871.2 a
duty of 16 cents was put on coal oil, not 10
cents as misprinted by the Witness. In
1877 this import culminated in oil being
retailed in Ontario at 60 cents, while in
Pennsylvania it was worth only 9 cents;
an importer could not sell under 35 cents
after paying for duty, freights, leakages
and other charges and adding profits to say
5 cents; as soon as he got his imported oil
into his ware -house the oil ring at London
would hire a man at so much per week to
sell their oil at his door at 15 cents, and
still make a margin. The importer would
have to sell at a loss of 20 cents or keep his
oil until it disposed of itself by evaporation.
It was easy to dispose $10,000 of capital in
this way, so easy that no one was simple
enough to try it, hence the 60 cents a gal-
lon had to be paid as long as the London
oil ring existed. The little Star, witha
silly sneer, asks if Mr Mackenzie was in
the pay of this ring. Then he manifests
he ignorance of a dupe or the meanness
of a suppreseio veri, which is the lowest
kind of lying. Mr Mackenzie removed the
duty, and oil fell in one day from 60 to 12
ents. The books of any grocer in Gode-
ich will show the Star his guilt or igno-
ance in this particular. The present oil
uties are the creation of the National
olio), and their. effect is (they are not
uite half of the old duties) that good
American oil is sold in the streets of De-
roit for 8 and 9 cents, while the inferior
Canadian product is sold in Windsor for
5. The nobby folks, chiefly Tories, have
as and electric light. The poor of the
own and the farmers pay the extra toll to
he coal oil ring at Petrolia; the effect is
hat money enough has been furnished to
arry East Lambton, a Reform Riding, for
he monopoly, and one obscure individual
n that town has been made a millionaire.
he coal 3i1 duty of 1871-2 was the Nation -
1 Policy in miniature; Mr Mackenzie show -
d bow a ring could be broken to shivers.
he London coal oil ring never reoovered
rom the blow of his manly hand. If he
ad been like the hero of the -Red Parlor
e would have become partner with the
obbers and gct from them money enough
o carry the election of 1878.
The Star ought to know something of
he salt duties, which were repealed last
ession; salt was sold here at Windsor for
L50 and at country villages in this county
t $1.75. The farmers were getting hito a
angerous mood and, the duty was modified
o the low figure at which it stands, thlingh
he industry was infinitely better entitled
o protection than the sugar refinery busi-
ess, which does not employ 500 hands all
old.
If the government would free the salt
ndustry from the duties on coal, iron,
teel and other things necessary for its
orking, and if Unrestricted Reciprocity
hould open for it the enormolis market's of
he west and south, Canadian salt,which is
s superior to the United States salt as
anadian oil is inferior, would reach Nep .
rleana and San Francisco, Goderioh her -
or would be crowded with ships looking
or return oargoes. The salt district, which
an supply salt to the entire continent,
ould become a continental blessing, as
rovidence intended it, and wealth would
e diffused through the Huron district, to
he benefit of the whole country. This is
etarted by the Chinese policy of restric-
ion, which Britain has discarded, and the
eantenfince of which is a standing dis-
race to people of British extraction on
oth sides of the national boundary. The
ittional Policy, the false God, which the
tar man ignorantly worships, is the bane
f our country; it has cost us a million and
half of our people, depreciated rural and
illage property forty per cent, and inane -
d the expaneion of trade almost to zero.
he estimate of the late Mr Maokenzie
as that a good emigrantwas worth $1,000
o the Dominion, what would a million and
half of exiled Canadians be worth at that
ate? one billion, five hundred million, and
his is but one item.
The Star man has seen quotations of
ugar rates in some newspaper; our ex-
erience on the border is that a dollar will
ny several more pounds of better sugar on
he American side of the river. The
merica,n duty is $6 per ton lower than
he Candian, and admits free several grades
t for cuhnary use, while the Canadian ad-
mits nothing free, except the raw material
f the refiner. There is the danger to Cana-
ian liberty,which the Star and its compeers
re unwittingly hastening on. It will pay
he sugar refiners, as a matter of business,
o launch out a million or two to carry the
ext general elections; as men of business
heir interest and instincts will prompt
hem. The infamy of the thing is no bar-
ier to the self-inkrest of the blind man.

New York is vastly ahead of the Dominion

' I oan forgive the Star its epithets; I can
thank it for an opportunity of reaching the
honest yeomanry of Huron of both sides.
If that favor is granted me through your
columns, what he says of me is just what
was said of the late George 13rown, wy
political father, the purest, the noblest and
loftiest in ains of all the past statesmen of
Canada. The same reproach was oast at
St. Paul, the prince of missionaries, and the
Cicero of Christianity, and at St. Paul's
Master. It is well to suffer reproach in
such company, and the little Star is not
vioions,considering the company it is oblig.
ed keep. Yours respeotfully,

Ontario Crop Prospects.
The Ontario Bureri of Industries
has published a bulletin as to the crops
and live stock of the Province. Of
fall wheat it says: The past wintei
has proved a very favorable one for
fall wheat, and the crops—particularly
the early sown—presented an excep-
tionally promising appearance when
spring opened. Particularly the only
unfavorable reports as to the condition
of the crop came from Essex, where
on account of local drought the crops
did not pass the winter in very satis-
factory shape. With this exception,
provided the critical time between now
and the middle of May is successfully
passed, the prospects for a good crop
are promising.
Of live stock, the bulletin says:
Stock of all kinds has come through
the winter in fair flesh condition,
though a little thinner than usual,
owing to the limited supply of fodder.
Sheep suffered considerably during
the lambing season, owing to the un-
favorable weather, and many lambs
have been lost. Th p iitters of pigs are
not, according to many reports, quite
so large and promising as desired.
The health of stock during the winter
was exceptionally good.
Winter rye is said to have suffered
little from the winter, though some-
what backward owing to unfavorable
weather in the middle of the month.
Clover wintered well. The most
favorable reports come fromthe Lake
Huron and Georgian Bay counties,
particularly from Simcoe, Grey and
Bruce where the indications for. a
yield are satisfactory. In other parts
of the Province the drought of last
snmmer did much harm to old fields.
Under the heading of general re-
marks the report says: Our corres-
pondents are unanimous in reporting
the past winter to be exceedingly fav-
orable for the farm. In most places
there was a fair amount of snow, which
covered the ground uniformly and
which remained until spring.
As regards improvements in agricul-
ture, most reports refer to the intro-
duction of improved tools and machin-
ery and advantages of underdraining.
The advantages of better stock and a
better system of feeding are repeated-
ly referred to, and an increased in-
terest is being manifested in regard
to the soil.
Although a few state that the supply
of farm help Will meet the demand, a
great majority state there is and will
probably be a scarcity. One corres-
pondent states that in his township
alone 100 additional farm hands are
needed. The cause universally given
is. the removal of young men to Mani-
toba, and', the Northwest and the
States.
There is constant complaint as to
the. low .prices of -farmers' -prefluot(s-
and a tendency is indicated towards
dairying and stock feeding in place of
growing grain. In the old barley
districts farmers appear to be in doubt
as to what line of agriculture they
should pursue.
Of farm supplies, there is barley suf-
ficient in farmers' hands to meet local
demands, and only in rare instances is
any for sale. Taking the Province
as a whole, at least one-fifth of last
year's wheat is in farmers. hands
Oats everywhere are reported
plentiful, and a large portion of the
extraordinary crop -of 1391 Still remains
unmarketed.

an excessive accumulation of Dandruff and although
using various preparations recommended and cham-
pooing regularly once a week, no material relief MR

Eirstly, because the manufacturers

Secondly, the quantity we sell en-

The same principle works with our
WALL PAPER, and we are confid-

ly treated. About the middle of the
season we look through our stock and
the liues that are not selling we re-
duce them regardless of cost, as our
stock must be clean and fresh. Look
for these lines next week.
