This niay be entirely in har- mony with the expressed resolve to stand by "the old policy," but if the members of the House think that this method will satisfy even their own supporters in the country, we are in- clined to think that they are harboring •a delusion. Tariff reform is in the air, and the tariff must be. reformed. No Liberal ever said anything stronger about the tariff than Dalton McCarthy did in the House on Tuesday, and what he said is true. Here are ex- tracts:— • If ever the voioe of the people demanded' relief from a burdensome tariff it sounded in their eare to -day, and although it might not be heard in this chamber, tariff reform Ithe people of this country were going to have. The discontent which had spread through the land was largely due to the evils of the tariff and the combines and -'monoplies under it. The annexation feel= ing which prevailed in Canada to -day was attributable largely to the system he con- demned. In his opinion the farmers suffered moat from the tariff. Referring to Mr Foster's argument that the farmer by using his own wool and wearing homespun escaped taxes, he protested strongly against the idea of treating the farmer as a hewer of wood and drawer of water. On everything he used the farmer was subject to enormous taxes. The duty of 35 per cent. on agricultural iwl ae,,,ca;to �v au't a revenue--duty--itw an enormous tax. Mr McCarthy took out of his desk petitions not yet laid on the table ,from 113 associations of Patrons of Industry, signed by 1,712 farmers and electors residing in Manitoba and the Northwest, in favor of tariff reform. These petitions stated that the signers oquld not advise their friends in the old country to Dome to Canada"underthe existing burdens of the tariff. Mr McCarthy proceeded to demonstrate to the House the amount of the taxes tak- en from the farmer in regard to somd'ar- tioles and put into the pockets of the man- .* nfacturer by the tariff. The farmers' raw material was taxed. He based his whole argument on the fact that the home article produced in Canada ie sold at a price in excess of its value, and the conanmer pays 30 per cent. more than the article should Dost if there were no tariff or a light tariff on these articles. To show how the home manufacturers agreed together to fix prices and take advantage of the tariff, he read a letter stating that the four manufacturers of barbed wire in Canada had combined together and entered int^ a bond to obey the orders of a central !,oard, which fixed prices and allotted the 'territory and regu- lated the trade. Taking up the .luestion of the measure of protection aff;rded to the farmers by the N. P., Mr 1VIo ;arthy put the total output of agricrloural products in Ontario ate value+ 't,f $260.000,000 and calculated that we alright be able to sell of that $12,000,000 to the home market on account of the N. T. , Taking into account the difference in prices, and remembering that prices were fixed by the foreign demand, he thought the tienefit to the farmer of this $12,000,000 of an extra sale to the home market could be estimated at 10 per cent. or 1,1,250,000 a year. That was $1.70'a year for eaoh far- mer in Ontario. If that was the measure of the benefit of protection to the farmer in Ontario it reduced the matter to an ab- surdity. Canadian sympathy will go out to Hon. Oliver Mowat in the -affliction he sustains by the loss of his wife. She was a member of St. James' Square Presbyterian Church, in the work of which she took a great interest,having jstrong religious views. What Lady Macdonald was to SirJohn Macdonald, •:' Lady Mowat was to Ontario s Premier, who placed great confidence in her " s ` judgment on many important matters of public concern. Huron Presbytery. man, o ng u m}� osa o ss g proven my going straight to plinton or Winnipeg and demanding from my cowardly assailants that satisfaction which every true man would na- turally look for under such circumstances. Yours respectfully, W. D. ANnrtawa. For the benefltlof our readers who have forgotten the circurnstance, we will state that Capt. W.D. Andrews is the man who two years ago was legal- ly married in this town to a blind girl. At the same time he had living with him a woman generally recognized as his wife in Toronto, but this fact was, unfortunately, not known at the time. It may be that the woman really was his wife, at any rate she passed as such, and, we are given to understand, she signed herself as Mrs Andrews. Now Mr Andrews, when you can sign such a letter as the above, in view of all the circumstances, that are well known here,it shows you to be a villain of the meanest kind. You were drawn into a trap, were you, which only your loss of bight prevented you seeing, eh? We don't believe anything of the kind, and we don't think that you believe it, and the only way to designate you is as a mean liar. "The interested part- ies" don't admit that the whole thing was a put up job, unless you are the interested party. What has youe4nes of sight to do with the fact that you deliberately went through a marriage ceremony with an innocent girl, while at the same time you were either a married roan or should be one. Why were you so anxious that the marriage should be kepta secret? Do honorable men usually do that. A nice person you are to talk about your manhood, etc. If you think youhave a grievance on your hands, Mr Andrews, don't allow the loss of your sight—a great misfortune, truly—to stand in the way of your coming to Clinton. Come by all means, and we venture to assure you that your reception will at least be cordial. A mean, contemptible rascal like you should be deprived of your liberty and you would have been, had no certain dif icuities prevented the working of the legal machinery, but these may be overcome yet. Mr Thornton, father of your victim, as- sers his willingness to meet you in any court that you want to go into, and will be glad of the chance. The Presbytery of Huron met in Willis church, Clinton, on Tuesday, the 14th inst. The records of several of the Sessions were examined, and, with some slight exceptions, attested as carefully and correctly kept. Mr J. H. Simpson, moderator of the Session of Bayfield and Bethany, reported that a call had been extensively signed by these congregations, in favor of Mr J. C. Graeb, but that he had a few days ago received a letter from the gentle- man, to the effect that he could not accept In view of this fact the call Church Notes. There is no decrease in either the in- terest or attendance at the special meetings being conducted by Rev. W. Smyth, in the Ontario St. Church. A special meeting of the Clinton Branch Bible Society will be held•in the office of Dr. Worthington, this Friday evening the 17th inst., at 8 o'clock. Prof. Cook, of the S. A., London, gave a magic lantern entertainment at the Barracks here, on Tuesday even- ing. The views were a striking tem- perance lesson, showing up various fortes of drunkenness. Rev. T. E. Higley, of Biyth, will take the service in Summerhill, Middle- ton and Holmesville churches on Sun- day next, and will preach Missionary sermons. Rev. Mr Diehl takes his work in Blyth. The offering on that day will be in aid of Missions. The Rev. J. H. Simpson, of Bruce - field, the popular lecturer, will deliver an interesting address on "Woman's Influence," on Tuesday evening, March 21st, in Knox church, Goderich, under the auspices of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society. At a meeting of the congregation of the First Presbyterian church, Sea - forth, Mr Hunt, of Knox College, To- ronto, was selected as assistant to Rev. Dr. McDonald during the summer six months. Mr Hunt was formerly a professor in the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph.
