As was to be expected under the circumstances—the banquet being non- political—his remarks were very guard- ed and nun-commital, and yet there were two important features incident- ally touched upon. 1 fIn alluding to the Manitoba School question he intimated that the con- stitution would control any action relating thereto. This is equivalent to saving that no further steps will be taken so far as the government is con- cerned. A good many people have assumed that because of his relation with the church, special recognition would be shown the minority. But he • is evidently too astute a politician not to see that a decision, in a matter of this 'kind, by the Supreme Court, is something not to be trifled with. The other point touchrd upon was the trade policy of the country. He did not state specifically that there would be any change from that which prevails at present, but reading be- tween -the -lines, or -reasoning by in- ference, it is quite evident that he leans towards tariff reform. He ad- ' 'bitted that the N. P. was not perfect, and stated that by "lopping off the withering branches here and there" it could by very materially improved. He stated also that "the man would be a.fool who could not see the desire for tariff amendment" as expressed by the recent vote for President. When he referred to our future relations with the States he admitted that it might be on the basis of reciprocity, but it must be a more liberal and reasonable basis than the terms proposed eleven months ago—and then only as "neigh- bors." We are sure the Liberal party will riot quarrel with him in this connec tion; rather they will wish him all success in any efforts to secure rec priority on the broadest and most lib- eral basis compatible 'with the inter' ests of the two countries, and will even ndorse his statement' that the rale, - ions of the two countries shall only e that of "neighbors." Of course it is not fair to assume be- d what may properly be assumed the evidence at hand, and we no desire to do him an injustice, r own impression is that Sir ealizes fully the need of a change trade relations. He is keen to see that some dissatisfac- evails, and in order to allay ng a change must be made. t be so radical as some people e to see, but it will be a re verthe less. er Trade Wanted. ho have followed the investi- eing made by the Globe com- ners, will have noticed that in y all the interviews farmers re- d'themselves as decidedly opposed annexation—unless it becomes ab lutely necessary in order to get freer intercourse with the States. But they nearly all emphatically state that they Want to trade on equal terms with the eople of the States. The Conserve, 'ye `member of the commission ran ss a Conservative farmer in Vic - county last week, who expressed self as follows:— We won't have any United States I nient, but we want freer trade ne with them, The manufact- e had their chance, now the tilt have a show. If there is ar like this, half the farmers he States or Manitoba. We reason to complain of our t look at our prices. We d we must have a wider mar - I say our farmers should go on any member who seeks to aintaia the duty on binder twine d other things that I !might men- u. Farmers will have to look after it own interests, independent of fitv. The farmers won't bo whipped to line to vote for the party as they id; a year or two ago.

He will do as well as any one. Some people are of the opinion that the most able man who ever oc- cupied this position was Lord Dufferin. People are moving towards tariff re- form. At' the last meeting of the Toronto Young Conservatives Mr.E.F, H. Cross gave notice of a resolution favoring a reduction of duties on all essentials of life and implements of industry. It may be slow on getting here, but it is on the road. ' - Sir John Thompson states that he will wait and see what the Americans do towards lowering their tariff before he takes any action. Why wait and see? If protectionist arguments are worth anything, what need we care whether the Americans lower or raise their tariff as high as a steeple. We have been told so often that Canada's policy was its own, regardless of that of any other country, that we had al- most accepted the statement as true. Concerning Salt. • In reply to the assertion that the C. P. R; had gone into the Salt business. Mr Van Horne denies the same, but admits that "screw -of -us privately'went into the business to protect our own in- terests" The distinction between "some of us" and the C. P. R. proper is so fine that but very few will be able to see it. The following letter explains itself: To the Editor of Tho Empire. • Sir,—In your issue of to -day I. notice a report of an interview your corres- pondent had in Montreal with Mr Van Horne concerning the salt question, in which Mr Van Horne is credited with stating that "the salt combine went so far as to close the works at Wingham, the only salt works on the line of the Canadian Pacific." It is a pity when a gentleman in Mr Van Horne's position speaks publicly on any point that he does not acquaint himself with the facts of the case. I have no hesitation in saying that Mr Van Horne's re- marks are entirely untrue. The salt association,in the place of shutting down the works at Wingham, have shipped therefrom not only all the salt they produced, but have gone so far as to pay the freight on salt manufactured on a G.T.R. point to Wingham, there t be transferred to and shipped on the C.P.R. So much for the action of What is known as the salt combine. The trouble with the C.P.R. and its managers is this, that nobody could be found to invest capital in the manfac- ture of saltat anypoint on their system, with the exception of one solitary works at Wingham, above referred to, which if I mistake not, was well bon used by the town. Neither in an open market, nor under the state of things existing for the last four years, when prices have been ordinarily remuner- ative, has anyone been found foolish enough to invest their money in pro- ducing more salt when three times the quantity required can be made by the appliances already existing. The re- sult to the C.P.R. was that the G.T.R. carried more salt than they did. This is the whole thing in a nutshell. The C.P.R. determined, as is allowed by Mr Van Horne, that they would apply a radical remedy to meet this state of things, with the result, as is admitted, 'Some of us took hold of it as a private, matter." Mr Van Horne's assurances that their works at Windsor will have nothing to do with any combination must be very gratifying to the people of Canada at large. I do not imagine for one mom- ent that they ever could, judging from past history. The remainder of the combination, with the C. P. R. in, would have very small pickings. If the C.P.R. be true to its traditions, the hope of the people getting cheaper and better salt when they have crushed out the other manufacturers, is a pretty slim one. It is practically an impossibility to prove that the C.P.R. proper have anything to do with the new salt com- pany, but when Mr Van Horne him- self admits that the company is com- posed of "some of us," for all practical purposes, it is much of a muchness. It is preposterous that a company formed and supported by heavy bonus- es given by the taxpayers of this coun- try, and which in itself is not the small- est combine that history has record of, should taunt a few manufacturers, who form a perfectly legal and harm- less association without in any way unduly advancing prices, and enter in- to competition with the very men by whom they have been bonused.

The quarterly board of Rattenbury street Methodist church has extended an invitation to the Rev G. F. Salton, of Brussels, to become its pastor for next year, providing the official board of Brussels will consent to his removal, he having been there but two years. Rev Mr Torrance, of Victoria street church, Goderich, passed through Clin- ton on Monday. His many friends in the county will be pleased to learn that his health is now much better than it has been for a considerable length of time, and hid old enemy—sciatica—is entirely out of his system. The storm has materially hindered the progress of the special services being held in Rattenbury street church. Rev Mr Stafford has delivered some excellent sermons, but the elements have been so much against• the services that comparatively little noticeable progress has been made as yet.

A band adds to the interest of the place and we hope that the effort to establish one may be successful.

A few more weeks of stormy weather like the past would almost bankrupt a man to buy enough fuel to keep warm.

WHY THIS THUSLY.—A well-known Clintonian, who occupies the position of freight conductor on an American road, writes to the NEW ERA as fol- lows :—"By the way, one night not long ago, I picked up a car of flour at Staunton, 111., a small mining town about 38 miles east of St. Louis, for a large biscuit firm in Toronto, Ont. Now, I have always been of the opinion that there was no better flour made than in Ontario. How is it that this flrm buy flour (and of course have to pay the duty on it) in the United States. The mill where the flour was made is about the size of the Clinton flour mill, and do a local business, that is, buy only local wheat, same as the Clinton Mill. I would like to be en- lightened on the subject, and it may also prove of interest to other readers of your paper." CORRESPONDENCE We wish it to be distinctly understood that we are not in any way responsible for opinions expressed under this head. ABSOLUTELY TRUE. To the Editor of the Clinton New Era. - SIR,—A paragraph in the columns of your cotemporary states that "possibly no one but the editor and the writer believed that letter about Mr. And- rews." I know nothing about the views of either, but I challenge Mr Andrews to disprove a single statement in the letter. Ask Mr. Plummer if it was not true; go and see the minute book and it will corroborate him. If Mr. And- rews, or his defender, is wise, he will drop the matter, or some one may be attempting to show that he violated his declaration of office, and had no legal right to his seat at the board. Yours RESIDENT OF THE WARD DIFFERENT WAYS OF LOOKING AT IT. To the Editor of the New Era. SIR,—There is a paragraph in the last issue of the News -Record, stating that Mr. Searle's election was a joke. I am gladto know it is. This explains so much. Reasoning similarly, the elec- tion of Hon. Mr. Patterson, in West Huron, was,a huge joke. The present majority of the Conservatives in the House of Commons is a huge joke.— These are the sort of jokes that most people like. I have no doubt Mr Searle can stand many such jokes. How does Mr. Andrews like his friends for perpe- trating such a joke? There is andther way of looking at the News -Record garagraph. • It may have l been written by ono who has no sense, and printed that the public plight know the fact. VOTER Or ST.

The farmers institute of West Peterboro, is among the number that have turned their attention to the condition and construction of county roads. When railroads are ex- hausting human ingenuity in improving every branoh of their service, soarcely a week passing without recording some use- ful invention. it seems a strange oversight or neglect that the methods of constructing county and township roads should remain practically unchanged. The "statue labor" system does not always result in the most faithful performance of work, and it isrea- sonable to expect important changes, both in methods and manaegment, as soon as the farmers realise that -the condition -of their roads is second only in importance to the condition of their land.
