"TARIFF REFORM,"
ivlr, Laurier has never been charged
with the unlawful possession of much
knowledge of the tariff or of the prin-
ciples on which a tariff should be con
etruct•ed, says the llamllton Spectator.
He has acquired a few stock phrases
' mainly front lies traders in the United
$tatte : and he is shrewd enough not
to trust himself to any discussion of
general princit.les. "Tariff reform" is
the policy of his party; and he knows
that so long as he confines himself to
meaningless phrases he is all right.
Ile is all right in two ways : he will
satisfy all claves in his own party,
from the few who want absolute free
trade up to those who want some on
important changes in the tariff, but
wish the policy of protection to remain
undisturbed ; and ho will not betray
his want of information respecting
economic queations.
Sometimes, however, the shrewdest
mon )take mistakes. And Mr. Lour-
' for lnakea a mistake when ho tells hie
hearers that if his party wero in power
it would rornovo duties from raw tnater-
ials. Becauigo if he were nskod to do
so he would be wholly unable to name
a single raw material on which duty is
collected. With the plass of his party
he is quite safe, for his supporters as
a rule ate more ignorant than he is re-
epecting these maters.
Not only is no duty collected on raw
materials, but a larger precentage of
imparted goods enters free under the
present tariff than entered under the
Cartwright tariff. In 1878 the value
of goods nominally entered for consump-
tion was $91,199,577, of which those
valued at $59,773,039, or 65.5 per
cent. were dutiable, and 34 5 per cent
were free. In 1892 the imports enter-
ed for coneumption were valued at
$116,978,943, of which those valued at
$69,160,737, or59 per cent. were Julia
bio and 41 per cent were free. But we
have frequently shown that the goods
really entered for consumption in 1578
were many millions less in value than
those nominally entered for consume
tion because the grain which merely
passed through was "entered for con-
sumption" in the custom house hooks,
though net a pound of it was committ-
ed in Canada. In reality the goods
actually entered for ooneumytiou did
not exceed $81,000,000 in value.
Fully 73 or 74 per cent of the gouda
achlally imported and consumed in
Canada in 1878 paid duty. Only about
26 or 27 per cent were free, as against
-11 per cent iu 1892. Duties have
been largely increased on luxuries
since 1878, and largely reduced on
necessities, and those articles not pro
duced in this country which aro used
by the whole of the people. Here are
a few articles ou which duties have
beeu increased.
1878. 1892.
Wines and spirits $1,2119,130.63 $2,172,605.61
Tobacco and eigar3 185,530.93 270,427.65
Ale and beer ..... 43,1463.12 90,019.26
Nancy goods - 203 312.90 493,373.90
Furs 40,888,3.5 110,581.55
Manufacturers of gold,
ate..... 41,196.88 70.261.23
Pickles and sauces.. .. 17,092.91 42,081.91
Bilks, satins an 1 velvets.. 276,609.03 731,452.81
82,030,986,83 33,946,786.92
On these articles of luxury the duties
have been almost doubled. Now, let
us take another short list, which, like
the above, will be by no means ex-
haustive :
1878. 1392•
s Lbs. Duty. Lbs. Duty.
Coffee 1,8:11.830 $ 37,27:1.75 3,307,035 8,740.09
Rice.. 8,080,99:3 83,00'303 22,981,979 80,702.71
Tea... 11,019,2:11 611,313 65 22,593,019 8.205 00
Sugar 105,915,270 2,515,055,84 375,418,455 77,828.02
126,433,303 83,217,913 17 391,321,118 8175,003.31
Ou the luxuries, as- we have seen the
duties are nearly doubled : ou these
articles, which, if they aro not necea
retries of life, are at least so generally
used as to be necessary to the comfort
and well being ot the people, though
the coneumption has beau more than
doubled—nearly trebled—in volume,
the duties now collected are little more
than the twentieth part of those col-
lected under the Cartwright tariff.
When a fair calculation is made, it
will be found that the increase in
duties on goods actually imported for
consumption has increased from about
16 per cent to 17.56 per cent.
Duties • on articles of luxury have
been very greatly increased.
Duties on articles used by the whole
people have been greatly reduced.
The farmer, the mechanic, the laboring
Ulan contributes less to the support of
the Dominion government than he con-
tributed under the Cartwright tariff.
The man who is absolutely poor pays
no taxes at all.
The desire of the Reform party is to
return to the Cartwright tarifa'—to lower
the burdens of the wealthy, to increase
the burdens of the humble ; to lowar
duties on silks, broadcloths, wines and
liquors, and to restore duties on sugar,
tea and coffee. When Mr. Laurier
talks glibly about tariff reform that may
not be what he means, because he has
but a nebulous cornpreheneioo of the
subject. But that is what the people
behind him mean, and that is what they
will ' have if they ever attain to
power.
At Newmarket M r, Laurier admitted
that the Government weresavingour
people three tnillion dollars a year on
sugar alone. "And," said hie, "the
duty lAvied on refined sugar brings
only $80,000 a year. I admit at once
that they don't take much of that moue/
out of the pockets of the people." Mr.
Laurier is not •satisfied with the low
price of sugar and employment of our
Own people ire refining. He and the
Grit swouldratherheyotholaboremploy
ed in the United States and have Can-
adians help build up a foreign and at
present depreased country. Canadians
will "have none of it.
LAU(I 'WOULD SPEAK NOW.
Mr. Laurier, leader of the, Oppo•
eition, is now in Ontario. Not long
since in Quebec while speaking on the
Manitoba school question he did not
hesitate to say what he would do if
returned to power•.• -give Separate
Schools to Manitoba. At the time Txlt
NEws•RECoun puiuted out that the
Freueh Roman Catholic Leader would
not use the ease argument in Ontario.
And he does not. Mr. Laurier will be
at „Mitchell tomorrow and will have
another opportunity to set himself
right, In his own province he has
made use of language which aecretly
favors the restoration of the dualaohool
system. And all this while Tarte, his
first lieutenant hail beeu firoely de-
manding the disallowance of the
Greenway Act. 1t is time for
Laurier to get down off the fence
The people of Ontario have a right
to know just where he stands on Etna'
important question, and the Opposi•
tion leader should give then) this in.
formation ere completing his presant
tour.
.
LAURIER - AND PROHIBITION
Prohibitionists in the Reform ranks
should not have a very high opinion
of Mr. Laurier. Already many pro
feased temperance workers bave'endore
ed Mr. Laurier, although ho is not with
them. The editor of our totem.,
always "conscientious," endorses poli•
tics before principle. Lost week our
cotem. endorsed the French leader of
the Opposition editorially and other
wise, but not a word about his silence
on the temperance question. At the
Newmarket meeting a written request
Woe handed Mr. Laurier as follows :—
"In case Ontario votes in favor of pro.
hibition on the approaching plebiscite,
what action will you favor in the House
of Commons 2"
Our "very good" cotem. surely did
not overlook this very irnportant quea
tion as did Mr. Laurier.The great
tribune launched out in a discussion -of
the protection of seals iu the Pacific,
the protection of manufacturers, etc.,
etc., but not one word fell from his
patriotic lips about the protection of
Canada's sons and daughter's from an
evil which the other great Liberal
leader says causes three-fourths of all the
pauperism, vice, crime and lunacy of
the country. Was the matter so triv-
ial that he forgot all about it 1 or did
he think the Advanced Prohibitionists
would not have the sand to demand an
answer After he sat down, and the
Applause ceased, Mr. J. S. Green, a
lifelong Liberal, aroPe and politely
asked Mr. Laurier it' ho had overlook•
ed the question. The chairman said
there was no time for questions, but
Mr. Green would not be crowded out,
and then Mr. Laurier said :
"I did not answer that question, bee
cause 1 would have thought my friend,
whom I have not the honor to know,
would have read the resolution adopted
at the last Liberal convention. What
I hive to tell him is this, that the Liberal
party, at the last convention, undertook,
when they came into power to have a
plebiscite in reference to thia nuc stion,
and, of course, if it is the will of the
people, the people will have their will."
An exchange, not of the partisan
stamp—not of the stamp that places
"pairty" before principle—very pro-
perly talcee Mr. Laurier to task, and
likewise our partisan totem. It truth.
fully remarks :—
"I -lis answer recalls one of Abe Line
coin's anecdotes, where the amiable old
man is asked by a vain orator what he
thought of his effort, and gushingly
replies as he claps his interrogator
patronisingly on the shoulder : "For
the people who like that kind of thing,
it is the very thing they like."
What the people want to know,
what they have a right to know, and
what they will insist upon knowing, is
whether or not the Hon. Wilfred
Laurier is going to continue to shirk
this question. The prohibition reforni
is the paramount political question with
thousands and thoussnds of Liberals,
who ere ready`o follow the leader who
has the courage to espouse the rofurm,
and to reject the leader who is not
great enough for the crisis, Even Mr,
Laurier's great newspapor advocate, the
Globe, declares prohibition to be the
"supremo issue," and yet the leader
endeavors to ingeniously wobble aruund
the awkward question.
SIR CHARLES HEi11BEIRT TUP
PER,
Nord was received last Thursday
stating that Her Majesty has been
graciously pleased to create the Hou. C.
H. Tupper a Knight Commander of
St. Michael and St, George, in recog•
nition of hie services as British agent
in connection with the I3ehring sea
arbitrators. Canadians .of all shades
of politics cannot but admit that Mr.
Tupper is thoroughly deserving of any
honor which Her Majesty might feel
disposed to confer upon him. Day in
and day out he toiled unremittingly in
the interests of Canada to strengthen
our position before the Behring sea
arbitration. That Sir Charloe the
younger may live long to wear his
new honors will bo the heartfelt wish
of every Canadian who knows some-
thing of the Minister's energy and
applicntion and his fidelity to Canadian
interests. It is understood that the
new knight will be know as Sir
Charles Hibbert Tupper, to distinguiela
him from his father,

closed the books for the heard year end-
ing June 30. The follgwiog• is the
statement of revenue and expenditure
on account of consolidated ifend ;•
Revenue—
Customs $20,953,700
Excise 8,334,247
Poet•ofHee 2,773,508
Public works (including railways) 3,770,036
Miscellaneous 2,299,010
Total $38,131,701
Expenditure 38,745,121
Leaving a surplus of 81,386,580
This is somewhat better than the
estimates of the Finance Minister, who
counted upon a surplus of a million
and a quarter. The revenue for the
previous year was- $36,921,871, show•
ing an increase in the past 12 meothe
of $1.210,830. The expenditure shows
the slight increase of $20,772. Lae
year's surplus was $155,978, so that for
the year just closed these is a very
handsome iucreuse despite the fact that
over three millions of taxation was
struck off by the remission of the sugar
duties. The expenditure on capital
ao; lent during the year just closed was
$3,8x11,87"7, an iuoreaae of $467,961.
The net debt on June 30 was $241,679,
000, on increase of $548,538.
THE "EXPOSITOR" AOAIN.
The Seaforth Expositor is greatly
annoyed and will not be comforted be-
causeTHE NEWS -RECORD has not
published a resolution adopted by the
Grand Orange Lodge. The informa-
tion the Expositor desires is not of
public concern ; it is a matter of con-
cern only to the members. The posi-
tion of our totem. can easily be under-
stood when it wrote 4t column of
anathema and falsehood and slander
based entirely on supposition. For the
information of our blind totem. we can
say thatthe resolutionprotectsthe"rank
and file." The "all -wise" Expositor, like
Dawson, M. 1'., is a Home Ruler and
consequently opposed to the well being
of the Order in Britain and the Domin-
ion. Since the Expositor has stated that,
an M. P. Reformer, a follower of
French Roulan Catholic Laurier, is a
prominent Orangeman, ouI- statement
is made good that Reformers are in tilt
Orange ranks. While we do not say
that all Grits are rebels, we have no
hesitation in saying that the great
majority of rebels are Grits, incl the
k.xpoaitor has proven this to be true.
The publishing of the Dawson letter
will only further show that the Exposi-
tor and like blind partisan Grits are, as
they have been for years. opposed to
the unity of the Grand British Empire.
Out of every 1,00() Orangeinen (luny
of thetli Reformers) 999 will be found
staunch defenders of British connec-
tion. An isolated dissenter sloes not
]prove the contrary. It only shows, ns
in all societies, that there are odd ones
who do not respect ar.d sometimes vio-
late the sacred obligations they have
taken. The greatest sinners are
"Papist Protestants" outside thle Order,
and the Ex/wailer 1s among the lllltllher.

more our Dominion is studied the
more apparent does it become thlt we
aro constituted and destined to be one
of the finest nations of the earth.
In his address at Newmarket Mr
L'►urier summed up discriminatiou
in favor of Great Britain and against
the United States in the following
"If the British Government were to im-
pose upon us the notion which the Can-
adian Government are trying to impose
on us there ie not a elan in Canada who
would submit to it. I call it slavery."

the Opposition leader might keep up
his past record and gn one better by
again stating that he would shoulder his
musket and shoot down our loyal Can-
adian volunteers.
The Goderieh Sine thus refers 10 the
coning Clinton visit of the Premier
and colleagues :—
"We aro glad to announce that the
county ot Huron is one of the se ctione
which will be favored by a visit from the
Premier of the Dominion and those of
his Cabinet who will accompany on his
tour during the present month. A
monster meeting for the County will
be held at Clinton on Tuesday, Sept.
26th, commencing at one o'clock p. m.
The distinguished party will leave
Berlin on the previous evening, and nl'•
ter the Clinton meeting will return to
Stratford, where an evening meeting
will be held, proceeding next morning
to Walkerton. The Execntive Commit
tee of the Riding Associations in this
County will assist the Cliuton associ:
ation in the arrangements for the recep•
tion of the visitors, and the gathering
will undoubtedly he one of the most
notable political demonstrations in the
history of Huron. A special train will
leave Goderieh '.luring the forenoon, and
similar arrangements will be made from
the other ends ot the county. Full
particulars will he given during this and
next week, by posters and through the
press, and we need not urge our friends
in all 800tio118 to turn out to greet the
honored leader of the government and
the gentlemen who will accompany
him."
'active asistanoe" he promised to Ulster
Protestants will not now be required.
The "active assistance" has been given
by Britiehers is Britain.
Brantford Courier : Prof. Shaw, the
teacher recectly discharged from the
Guelph Agricultural college, states that
lie "has never io hie life cast a Conserva•
Live vote." A man like that deserved
to get it in the neck.
To be ooneistent,the Ecposifor should
now endeavor to prove what Dawson,
M. P., said about Grand Master Wal-
lace is true. The evideuce is strongly
against the acoueer.
It will now be in order for "Papist
Protestants" of the Dominion to sland-
er British Protestants and call 419
British Lords "rebels." We do not
need to go to Britain to find this clave
of people, for our own Leerier would
"shoot our volunteers,"
The St. Caihariues Journal, which
professes to be "proud" to be a follow•
er of French Mr. Laurier, has not the
courage to acknowledge that Mr.
Laurier's Quebec compatriots and
friends have erected a Jesuit statute on
the Plains of Abraham.
Arrangements are about completed
for the holding of the first series of
conferences with the representative
farmers of Canada on tae;ff matters.
It will be held at Cornwall today, and
will be attended by Hon. Messrs.
Bowel], Foster, Wood and Wallace.
Laurier at Newnlaiket advocated a
sweeping change when he said :—"The
Reformers of Canada have reforms to
carry out; but our great reform is to
put away from the soil of Canada the
list vestige of protection". Ed ward
Blake, we remember, emphatically die•
agreed on that point and left the party.
The people of this country are not pro•
pared to adopt. direct taxation.
Gledetone's "Protestant" allies in
Canada are shedding teats these days.
The cause of it all i3 that true British
statesmen have stood for British con•
nectio:t rather than disruption. Will
they take Ed ward Blake to their bosom
no his return to Canadal Edward
should remain in Ireland and continue
to labor for his compatriots. His occu-
pation is gone in Canada, surely.
Da','son, M. P., who claims to be an
Onluti",n'en and endeavored to show
that the Grand Master was a "rebel" to
the Queen, has a task lie will not per-
form. Since the Home Rule Sill has
bean thrown out, how would It do to
say that D4wsou is .a-jrebul 1 Justi
ficstion is quite clear. Dlwson opened
his mouth too wide and,as usual,he "put
hie foot right injit." And the writers,
some of thein in this county, who have
been backing up Dawson, \I. P., are iu
the same fix.
