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, Ind. Con. 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- respondent Signal. ,/ THE lgYSTERY OF THE BYE0 ELECTIONS, ' 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. t is not long since he Legislature of New ork state was deba ched and degraded by, millione etolen from the 'Treasury ct thc city. That L. egielatere has not yet MOON,- ered from the taint, It is said to be the Meat-e9rrtlpiLetalLthaStateaLegialaturis. New York is vastly ahead of the Dominion in oompaotnese, wealth and population. ' 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, D. W. Ross, B. A. Windsor, April 25th, 1892. 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.

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. The Boy or Girl, man or woman, who can afford it, should buy a bi- cycle? Why? For the reasons we gave thri e weeks ago.
