SIR HIBBERT 'TUPPER.
"Young Tupper," which is the not
undistinguished title Sir Charles Hib-
bort Tupper won before he was decor-
ated by the Queen, represents in a sense
"younVittiada." Probably his most
- winsaing quality with the populace is
his evident pluck. He is plainly a
• fighter. Eastern proyince • men tel
stories illustrative of the early develop
went of this quality of his, and all
Canadians 'know that he carne by it
honestly. A politician finds it prudent
to bo cautious, but the general elector
does not love to see this caution oozing
out at all his pores. They like a, mail
. who is not afraid to give, wassail' an-
swer to a direct wassatiOn; who seems,
in short, williue to do what he
thinks right,/and then defend that
action against all comers. In this
sense "Young Tupper"reflectsthe ideal

who have heard hirn are satisfied that
h.e possesses the virile force for a long

paratively speaking, young as well;
and they are both NovaScottans. This
may mean that the Nova Scotia wing

• THE U77'E'D S7 A7'ES CUSTOMS
• ACT':
The Wilson bill has suffered a mater-
ial change in committee already; and it
's 'hardly a joke to repeat what the
rnic papers are saying of it, that by
e time it reaches •the prasident, if it
r journeys so far, its own mother
not be able to recognize it.
6 changes made are all in the direc-
of • protection. Specific duties
uhstituted for ad valorem duties
ad ore, and lead products. Ccnn-
hlack plates—that is plates to he
—will pay nine -tenths of a cent
ea instead of 35 per cent. ad vat,
sn. !Tin plates will pay one and one -
'fifth cents per pound instead of 40 per
pent. ad valoaern. Thus the maker of
finished plates will have higher protec-
• tion than the maker of black plates.
Duties are restored to lumber at the
rate of 50 cents Per 1,000 feet for each
side planed $1 for lumber planed,
tongued and grooved on one side; and
• $1.50 for that planed, tongued and
grooved on both sides. Thus, the pro-
tection increases as the article ap-
proaches more nearly to the finished
state. The malt duty is increased
• from 20 to 25 per cent. Duties on
• twine are increased from 10 to
•50 per cent; on oil -cloth from 20 to
85 per cent; on linens from 35 to 40 per
cent; on carpet 5 per cent; brushes
from 25 to 30 fier cent. Cotton yarn
and thread will pay sliding -scale duties
from 20 per cent. on that valued at not
more than 12 cents a pound up to 40
per cent on that valued at 40 cents a
ei
. 4,ound and over. Thus the protection
' 'increases 'as the •ticle 'grows in value.
The Washingt orresponnt deof the
New York San says the new clauses

have flocked about the doors of the
ornmittee rooms and button holed
members,, just as they did when the
Republicans were preparing their tariff
bill." The same correspondent doubts
that the hill will pass congress.
The bill in its present shape is much
more of a protective measure than the
• customs law of the Dominion. The
average rate of duty collected by it
will probably be higher than the 'aver-
age rates collected under the Dominion
act. Yet it is estimated that, it will
Canso a loss to the revenue of about
$72,000,000; amid consequently there is
much concern. as to the manner in
which that revenue shall be raised.
Some propose to increase excise duties
on liquors and tobacco, and others
think the deficit should he made good

by an income tax. But it is probable
that a duty of perhaps a cent a pound
will he restored to sugar. This will
produce a revenue of about $50,000,000;
and if at the same time the bounty now
paid to domestic sugar makers be re-
moved, it is probable that the needs of
the revenue will be provided for.

PRESS OPINION'S
AN EQUAL RIGHTS PAPER CONDEMNS.
THE 1'. P. A.
The Huntingdon (Qu;theca Gleaner,
which was a strong supporter of the
Ewell Rights movement, is equally
strong in its condemnation of the
Protestant Protective Association,
whose principles, spir•it and ends it de-
clares to be alike abhorrent to Protest-
antism in the proper sense of the word.
"We look upon the result of the Lamb -
ton election," says the .Gleaner, "with
senile apprehension as to its effect upon
the Protestant minority of Quebec.
The castors in and out of the pulpit
will quote it to intensify the prejudice
against Protestantism. Mercier will
welcome it as fresh oil to revive bis
smouldering firebrands, and church
door or ttors Will use it as an unanwer-
able argument with the habitants why
equal rights should not he conceded to
the minority. It is not too much to
say that the very existence of this P.
P. Association has done more to defer
justice tieing. done to the nontlatholics
of Quebec than any action of their
opponents."

A. 1'. P. A. PREACHER IN BRANTFORD.
Brantford Courier.
There was a large attendance at the
Colborne street Methodist church, last
night, when the Rev. R. Hobbs cleliver-
ed a sermon on the subject of "The True
Reformers:" The sermon characterized
the members of the Protestant Protec-
tive Association as the true reformers
of the present, and the reverend
gentleman stated that the order had
been brought into existence because of
the pandering to the Roman Catholics
on the part of both political parties.
He himself belonged to the P. P. A.
and he was no more ashamed of that
fact than he was to fight for Christ as
alethodist minister. The reverend
gentleman then refered to the record
of- the Catholic church in Quebec, stat-,
ing that it was one long history of ex-
emptions to convents, monasteries and
Ho forth, and asserting that the same
sort of thing would occur in Ontario
unless the power of the Pope was speedi-
ly checked. Personally he (the speak-
er) was a Conservative, Reformer and
Radical rolled into one --Conservative
of all good measures, a Reformer in the
reform of bad ones, and a Radical in
doing away with the power of the
Roman Catholic church and other evils.
Several of the reinarks of the reverend
gentlethan were received with a ripple
of applause.

is
a sundering of man's God-given desh•e
and his free will. Of comae I refer to
moderate indulgence. We nre told
that it is a sin to drink fermented
Deletes in moderation• -that fern i0(11(1 -
tam to produce alcohol is theaverk of
the devil. This is rank blasphemy.
The devil does not possess a monopoly
of the good things of this world. Any
chemist will tell you that leavened
bread—the 11011.80-Wife'S In' the intker's
ordinary loaf—if made with yeast is
the result of alcoholic fermentatiena•
that the wheaten loaf which isustal by
the denture prohibitionist and the
generously t empera to 11 ver al 1ke,
cannot be produced without the devel-
opment of alcohol in the yeast. Is it
any more sinful to drink alcohol than
to eat it ? 1 think not. Both the old
and new Testaments sanction the
Ilse of wine as a beverage. Our
Saviour, himself, made it. 'We are
told that the wine referred to was not
intoxicating. What rot? How then
was it that men became drunken on it
in those days even as they do to -day ?
How isit that the sin of drunkenness is
denounced, if the wine people drank in
older times was unfermented or non-
alcoholic ?
11) 1.9 cla lined that theilesires to use alco-
holic drinks excessively is hereditary.
Observation and statistics teach 1110
that this is not so. As a rule the
children of inebriate parents ktre vet•y
temperate. That there are exceptiens to
this rule admits of no question. But
where they exist they are merely a
coincidence, and a coincidence is
not necessarily a rule. A case is
on record where loth father and son
had wooden legs. A quack physician
determined from this coincidence that
wooden legs were hereditary. It is
only newel (or immoral?) quacks who
hold that, acoholisrn is hereditary.
Then it is held that insanity, in the
majority of cases, is the offspring of
aceholisin. The official statistics of
Ontario disprove this completely-. It
is proven that the rnajor•ity of cases of
insanity ore the testi] t of a misuse or
abuse of the generative faculties. But
not even the narrow minded fanatic
would advocate the making us a nation
Of eunticks because Of the abuse of this
one of Gid's best gifts. To stimulate the
blood, expand the intellectual faculties
and to invigorate the body generally by
the moderate use of fermented liquors
is equally as justiflmble :Is the reproduc-
tion of the body itself in the first place.
And both are commended by the Al-
mighty. 1 grant you that the excessive
indulgence of the desire for either or
both produce deplorable results and it
is to be strenuously discountenanced.
But for the civil law to step in and
prohibit the possibility of moderate
gratifaction of these God-given desires
Is nullifying the free will of man and a
subversion of God's own design.
Nowadays we smile at the British
sumptuary laws of three centuries ago
prohibiting the. use of certain articles
of dress by the cononon people; and
later the Blue Laws of New England.
In the latter States there ia a reaction
from the severe puritanical laws, so
inueli so that in no canto try in the
world the present day are abortions,
whoredom, adultery and divorcee more
common than there.

given the thoughtful consideration it
deserves people would as soon think of
sterlizing their cnildren in infancy in
order to preserve their chastity, as to
think of eliminating alcoholic beverages
from commerce. In a flay days the
electors will pronounce yea or nay on
prohibition. The yea will have it.
But the proceeding is a dangerous
farce. It is not likely that any legisla-
tion will he based upon the vote. If so
it would be inoperative. To carry out,
prohibition would necessitate broad-•
cast espionage with stational, provincial
and municipal taxation, direct or in-
direct, of possi lay $15 per head of every
family, to meet loss ot revenue and
impracticable attempts at enforce-
ment.

Wednesday wars a cold day for the
Grits in South Huron. Their Coe yen -
tion at Hausa was, however, largely
attended and every effort made to
keep up the courage and cheer the
drooping spirits of the despondent.
Mr. Bishop expected to again be the

the popular Conserxative candidate
had secured such a host of supporters
here and that he was likely soon by his
attention to the commercial wants of
the town to add largely to his friends
in Sertforth. The Arch -Bishop of
Huron than saw that Seaforth, which
had pulled his chestnuts out of the fire
at the last election, was fully committ-
ed to support, Mr. Weismiller, and all
hope was gone as far as any Grit candi-
date was concerned. It was, there-
