.ABOUT P12U.Si'lfaRlT'Y,
--
TUE NEWS IteooRD has been charged
with publiehiu$ termer John Keruig
haws letter because he io en "old 1'.,ry
and a "Tory of the 'Tories."
It should nut be necessary for this
journal to say that it its not of the
portion °lase.
The letter ns all who read it must
know was reproduced from the col-
untne of the Globe.
And of coulee the great majority of
people know that the Globe does not
represent the Conservative Party, It
would be a very' poor representative if
itdid.
But in • order not to have honest
John Keruighan slandered in Rush e.
manner we hasten to set him right and
state that he iR new a lte"'urtner and au
old -ti me member u( the Reform Pert)'.
Of replete it clay seem pecttliar that
hu wurtht be n member of that Poly
and write such euminou douse and
every -day frets to the Press. •
THE PEOPLE -the noneftiontiolis elec•
tore-T11E, rAnuali5-known though,
that 11r. Keruighan gave straight, hon
eat, solid facts even if hie words,eon-
tvieted the leaders of the Party to
which be belongs. THE N1tws Recent)
was gratified indeed to place side by
side the utterauces of Lord Stanley,
the Queou's representative, and farmer
John Kernighan.
John Kornigan %I 88 nonpolitical.
Sonia say, though, that the Governor-
General spoke from a Tury siaudpoiut.
vIr. Keruighan is a Reformer.
Othere any he wrote from a Tory
view. Not at all;
The Governor-General i5 not engag
•rd' in political warfare. His uoble
utterances in Toronto recently are the
strongest possible proof.
In the other case we know Mr,,
Keruighan'e remarks were pot of a
political nature.
And just contrast the two.
The one gives factd and figures and,`
allows that this country is progressing
and is in a prosperous 'condition, lie
gives the most available and beat possi
ble proof ler all his statemeuts.
Mr. Kernighan prods cea,:stone tuella
and batteries that -•the most powerful
guns cannot abettor. He gives facts
and figures of his own personal' experi•:
ence and asks to have; hie credentials
examined. And he is a Reformer and
speaks as such.
The Governor General. proves that
the country in geueral is pees:peXa e
and farmer John Keruighan proves con •
elusively that the farmers in particular.
are in such a state.
No, kind reader, Mr. Kernighan is
not a Tory. He is a Reformer. And
he is one of the kind that places Coun-
try before Party.
Would to Ileaven that thin fair
Dominion possessed more men in all
parties constituted like John Kernig -
ban.
And Canada would profit also by
having a enceeesion of Governor'.-Geu-
eral like Lord Stanley.
THE POLIO' OUTLINED.
The great leader's of the Dominion
Conservative Party met last Friday in
Toronto and delivered addresses and out-
lined the future policy°of the Govern-
ment. Two halls wars thronged and
multitudes of people could not gain
admittance.
Sir John Thompson received a per-
fect ovation from Torontonians. In
the part the guiding ambition of the
Conservative Party has bee.0 to estab-
lish a great Canada. The national
Policy is more than a policy of tariff
arrangemonte for Canada -one that has
opened up the Northwest, pierced the
Rocky Mountains and united the pro-
vince of British Columbia with the
sieter provinces by the Atlantic coast;
One that has opened up homes for
young Canadian farmers in our own
country rather than have them seek
their fortunes in atange lands;
A policy which has in the past ton
years lessened the exodus from 50 per
cont. under Reform rule to 35 per cent
under Conservative mile;
A policy that increased the number
of operatives by 112,000 in ten years;
A policy that has increased the capi-
tal invested in industries in Canada by
$190,000,000 ;
A policy that shows in wages $41,
000,000 more were paid at the end of
the decennial period than wo paid at
the beginning of the decennial period ;
A policy that gives $2,000,000 tnol'e
for wages in the manufacture of cotton
--labor formerly employed in the
United States.
The Government will stand by the
Old Policy.
Tariff reform, will of course be made
to meet the requirements of the Cana-
dian people.
Conditions of all countries change
•
se time goes ou and Sir Johu '1' np•
sou, like the late Sir John Macdouatd,
ie'ehrewd euough to pierce the future.
Ile would not be a Conservative if he
did not. Fur that one point is the
very foundation and coruer stone of
Cu userval000.
The National Policy has never been
claimed to be perfection, and, like all
trod.+ or detest peltuioa, moires mould•
ing from tirne to tiino.
The lion. Mr. Laurier would take
the woodtnan'a axe and cut away the
whole atruoturs, fell the tree to the
ground.
Sir John Thompson will merely trim
the mouldering branches and give life
and strougth and fresh vigor to the
trunk. He does not believe in sip
ping the lifeblood from the roots.
Awl he would be uufaithful to his
trust if he did.
For instance, the lato throwing off,
iu the directiou of tariff reform, of
$3,000,000 a year duties on sugars, ouo-
twelfth our entire revenue, is an indi•
cation that Sir John Thompson and
the Goverurnont• have not rnisplaced
the confidence of the people and thae
they are not only Cone.ervatives in
principle, but in practice as well.
•1'he Conservative Party will still
continue to stand out and hold firm for
British connection and all that tends
to Make a British Cauediau recd a loyal
and devoted people.
Of course there aro some who can see
nothing in it, hut sentiment strongly
permeates the breast of the man who
is devoted to his family -likewise also
the man who loves his country.
And in no nation under the sun can
you fiud more sentiment or love of
country than in tt:e United States.
Seutiment is one of the links in the
long chain that binds togeii er genera•
tion after generation: Battles, great
battles, have heou fought and won
through love of country.
No matter how people ma jest or
jeer about the weving of th old flag
and loyalty, for It•etory' s that no
nation ban ever beeotne great without
both and sentiment behind it all. .
The Meuito'ba school a�,uostion is a
burning ono and the GerIerunteitt are
determined to 'stand strictly by what
the constitution provides, as expound-
ed by the highest .authorities in the
land.
Saturday's Empire contained s
twenty•one column report of the Tor•
onto meeting, and it. is well worthy
the perusal of all clauses of people.
'1!HE LANGUAGE OF FREENIEN.'
THE CANADA REVUE:
•
AmongEnglieh speaking citizens it is a
popular terror tosuppoee that ell'breven
a considerable part of -those speaking
the French language are not freemen.
_True; very:;, rt' icy of that worthy
class iu 'Canada are members of the
Roman Catholicohurch, and have tame-
ly submitted for generations to be
directed and taxed as the.cfergy >villed.
'But in:Canada ae in Fronde free spirits
aro cooling rapidly to the front add
are making their languageaynoaytnolle
with its nano, i. e., frank or free.
The Canada -Revue, an ably edited
well printed journal in Montreal re-
cently fell under the'ban of the Arch-
bishop and clergy for having dared to
demand the euppressiou and punish•
ment of a villainous priest among
others, who for years had been endue
ing innocent Iedies of his congregation.
The journal did not attack the church
doctrines, but merely demanded that
family honor and virtue should not he
polluted by any priest or hierarch.
With oomtnendsble pluck the Can
oda Revue has persevered in advocating
many other reforms of importance.
These should form a worthy model
for citizens of Ontario who aro prone to
look on French Canadians as an unpro-
gressive people. We rejoice to see
that grand language so tirruly and judi-
ciously used. in the cause of liberty.
Eery citizen who •040 read French
should ;solid the years subscription,
three dollars, In a registered letter to
the Canada -Revue, Montreal, to learn
that the tine French-Canadian is cer-
tainly not behind the average English
speaking Canadian in progressive
ideas.
The following aro some of the causes
advocated by the Cnunda-Revuo:-
The abolition of the Legislative-
Council of Quebec.
Cessation of trouble re Manitoba
schools.
Liberty of the Press and Freedom of
Speech without being subject to spirit-
ual supervision.
The foundation of a Public Library in
Montreal independent of every religi-
ous denomination.
The abolition of the power of the
clergy to create parishes.
The suppression of the "POLITICAL
PRIEST that disturber of OUT population,
that destroyer of every civil and social
tie.'
Free education, in the interest of the
laboring classes.
Publicity to the meetings of the Ro-
man Catholic school commissioners.
of 1. The two px'otniscuatts associates of
the bialiops.
2. The choice of injudicious priests.
3, The dangerous relations of the
clergy with women.
4. The contempt towards represen-
tations front the laity.
5. The freedom from punishment of
guilty clergy; and
6. The retaining of tarnished priests.
The freedom of Laval University
from Castor (ultraiuontane) and Jesuit
control.
The colleges and schools should not
be nurseries for priests, but clerical
teachers should grass examinations
similar to the laymen.
Where is the English speaking politi-
cian or journalist who will join in de-
manding in Ontario the reforms advo-
cated, and some of them won, by the
Canada -Bev ue, a French-Canadian jour-
nal, in Montreal?
We have ever fearlessly advocated
these reforms. Let Ontario take hope
when Quebec leads the way in liberty.
The abolition of the power of the
clergy to erect priests residences cost-
ing large stuns of money.
The abolition of all exemptions from
taxation.
The condemnation of these vices:-
Worshipofthe golden calf; the idolatry
of the priest; political disloyalty;
perpetual clandestine church begging;
unjustified pretensions of leading men;
servility of the press; the absence of
public spirit, and disregard of oaths.
Taxation of Jesuit and other church
incomes and properties.
The punishment and removal of im-
moral clergymen.

PORK POINTS.
A t.otu,.DAy' Wol:x.-On Monday last
Mr. William Brigham,. of • 'H:ullett, near
Londeaborn, carn•I to Seaforth with a load of
1,200 lip. of pork. He Bret went to Ciin•
ton. a was there offered $7.5J p�•r - hun-
dred for it. He though'i • that was scarcely
enough 'and rather than take it he said he
woutddrivo on to Se..f•rrtti The buyer('
.there 'told him • that the Seaforth 'dealers
would cheat him hi the;"'' t{eigh't,but as he
bed weighed hie,poik hndore leaving horns

Seaforth and.l o't $7.95 p. r hilpdred for

o •had been u@ared in.' Clinton :•end the
weight came "out just the" :softie .aa , he, had
made it at home. Mr:!11righatniwae well
pleased with his day y wotk and:Oinks that
it paid hiin to eome'to Seaforth. There lire
thousands of others who tthiutr./the sarne.-
Expositor:
The above is .from the Seaforth Ex-
positor. That.paper is generally recog-
uized as fair and impartial in its criti•
cisme. But in this caee it ie both
partial 'end 'ugfair.. Wei lutve• gone
to the trouble' to -interview the pork
dealers and -butchers of 'Clinton in re-
gard to this particular case. The editor
of the Expositor knows as well as all
sane men must know that Seaforth
buyers cannot afford to pay 45 cents a
hundred more for pork than Clinton
and he knows perfectly well that
"thousands of people " do not think
anything of the kind. Clinton buy
ere pay just as high prices for pork as
Seaforth and iu some cases higher, but
we do not desire to take endue advan-
tage of Seaforth or any other town in
the matter of market.. The fernier the
Expositor refers to was in Clinton and
was offered a much higher price than
hi admits. One out of several
buyers was all he interviewed.
But he had other business
in Seaforth and he admitted that that
was the principal reason for going.
Pork in Clinton ranged last .reek from
$7.75 to 58.00, so that if Seaforth
could afford to pay $7.95 Clinton buy -
ere could and did pay $8.00. But this
may not be quite fair as a comparison.
As our farmer 'friends and every one
else knows, the pork market is changing
every few hours. It changes so fast
that Mr. Brigham could Imo .got just
as much iu Clinton at the very hour he
sold in Seaforth. But the Expositor
does not take this into account at all
and'scatters broadcast that Seaforth hart
a better rnarket than Clinton. This
15 not fair or juet. Both markets as a
rule are about the same. Thie week
in Clinton prices `tole considerably
higher than $8, but we would not be
justified in saying that Clinton bas the
,test market in the world. What we
say is that Clinton has an good a mare
ket and pays as high a price for
everything the farrller produces SR any
other town in the county of Huron,
and " thousands of people " know this
to he a fact. Formers, bring your pork
to Clinton. The highest market price
going is always paid here.
E. B, Benjamin, who went to Dako-
ta from Westbrook many years ago, has
come back to Ontario. He says he
would never have left hero had he suffl-
cient money to buy a farm. He ad-
vises:young men to go to the Canadian
Northwest, where he would have gone
could he got the lend he wanted. He
gives the price of grain in Dakota se
follows :Wheat 60 to 55c; the beet bar-
ley is down to 32 dents, and for feed
purposes he could buy 1,000 buehele at
20 conte. Barbed wire and binders'
twine is about the same price there as
in Ontario.

A DRAWING( CARD.
In c n.ys gone by salt was considered
a very good drawing card if the boy
could only get in touch with the
coveted prize. But in the year 1893
something more than salt is required
to
DRAW CUSTOMEIRS.
A real live advertisement in THE
NEws-REcoRD always proves a draw-
ing card. Salt may suit the Little
fellow, but live business men are after
business and TILE NEWS -RECORD is
sure to draw it in the right direction.
