A SLANDER NAILED.
Lindsay Warder.
Hon. N, Clarke Wallace as a citizen is
honored by the people of Canada in
being a member of their government,
occupying the position of Controller of
Customs, and right well has he per-
formed the duties of the office. As a
loyal orangeman Mr. Wallace has the
confidence of the brethren throughout
the world, he being grand master of
the grand orange lodge of British
America, and also imperial grand mas-
ter of the Triennial Council.
To be honored with either of these
positions is in itself guarantee of super -
tor integrity and merit. Yet, there
are in all communities persons, who
lacking the ability to lead or the merit
te command the confidence of their fel-
lows, but possessed of ambition and
conceit sufhcient for a fallen angel, are
ever ready to decry men of integrity
and prominence.
Last December a Roman Catholic
Priest at Woodstock, Ontario, applied
for free entry for some presents from an
English lady which had been entered at
that town. Mr. Wallace gave the col-
lector a prompt reply —The law is
clear. Communion plate is free—all
other is dutiable. Act strictly accord-
ing to the law. Such in brief was the
business -like reply of Mr. Wallace to
his officer.
Sometime later the collector at
Woodstock received a parcel, an Eng-
lish university hood, for an anglican
clergyman named Farthing, It ap-
pears the clergyman was not above
wishing to see the law violated by
having his hood admitted free of duty.
The sante law as demanded duty from
the Roman Catholic priest Brady on
articles dutiable, required the anglican
priest Farthing to pay. Then the latter
"squealed." "Father Brady had re-
ceived articles in free and so should
he," he said. His assertion was that
they bac) been entered at Hamilton.
Accordingly Hon. Mr. Wallace at once
demanded of the Hamilton collector
for a return showing whether or not
priestBradThad entered any goods there
free of duty. It transpired that though
several entries had been made all had
paid duty. Reference was then made to
Woodstock where it was found that in
the one instance in December last the
collector at that town had deliberately
ignored Hon. Mr. Wallace's instruc-
tions to adhere strictly to the law, and
had not up to that time levied the duty
on some other articles entered with
communion plate. The duty was or-
dered promptly to he collected.
No one pretends Hou. Mr. Wallace
can see the entries through the thous-
ands of offices in Canada. He sees
however when references are made to
him that the law is adhered to. The
law is so clear that a child can inter-
pret that portion of it. Why the
Woodstock officer failed to act on Mr.
Walla.ne's instructions to adhere to the
law, is surprising, and were we Con-
troller of Customs would certainly call
for immediate and satisfactory ex-
planation from him.
All the foregoing is merely routine.
Tho interesting part follows.
D'Alton McCarthy evidently heard
the grit rumor re favoritism to priests,
etc. He accordingly enters on the
order paper in the House of Com-
mons a series of questions on the mat-
ter. Meantime, inquiry had brought
out the facts that Mr. Wallace's posi-
tion was impregnable, so Mr. Mc-
Carthy, with that peculiarity of char-
acter for which he is now noted, turn-
ed tail, did not ask his questions, and
left to unfrendly newspaper criticism
the publication of known slanders.
Possibly it would not suit Mr. ,Mc-
Carthy's purpose to have the truth
made public. Indeed, his whole career
is bolstered up by insinuations, hints,
innuendos and falsehoods which,
whispered from place to place, and
published in his organ, but never
squarely pronounced, require a certain
degree of prominence in the public mind
that is difficult to remove. Tho first
step of the Jesuit is to arouse doubt,
suspicion andealousy, by any and
every means. What a grand Jesuit
priest the Jesuit politician, McCarthy,
would have made.
Mr. McCarthy has not yet asked the
questions, but Mr. Wallace has prompt-
ly published the facts in advance. His
action is perfectly is accordance with
the strict letter of tele' law, and setas
flea even the Aluglienn priest, 1?'artirio
That gentlemen hapblished an a o.
gy to .. r, Wallace ' and . as, cked
down from 1js first position of: asgatlr
exit in a most complete manner,
Yet, the truth will be long in reach -
lug the p►lialio, ' Speaking, whtspering
slanderers get in their work in ways
of their own; whereas truth is not so
spread. But, there is Odd great satis-
faction, be the slanderers the most
insiduons and their' propagation
the mostcunning, the honest
heart and noble mind of Clana-
dians will not be misled. Despite the
seeming advance of intriguing and
slandering movement as exemplified
in lifcCarthy's plans and other dishon-
est agitations, our confidence is strong-
er, firmer than ever in the honesty of
purpose of the people. The people
cannot long be humbugged. True,
even the most honest may in their de-
sire for right, be misled; but it can only
last for a time. Therefore, though
dishonest agents ' are active in
manufacturing and propagating sland-
ers for the jollity of men of
integrity and the advantage of
fakirs and faddists we have no
fear but the sound faddists,
heart of
the 'nen and women of Canada will be
found true to truth.
"One grasshopper in a field will
make more noise than one hundred fat
cattle," and do more real harm ; so one
lying loafer around a street corner or a
bar -room will create more scandal and
start more slanders than ten thousand
honest citizens. Give us the honest
citizen's endorsation every time. 'rhe'
applause of dishonest men is always an
injury. The commendation of honest
citizens is a blessing to be esteemed
Hon. Mr. Wallace has the latter.
CURRENT 1OPICS.
Greece is for Tariff Reform. Only
a year ago the Grecian tariff was in-
creased by 15 per cent.
The new tariff places bibles, church
prayer hooks, hymn books, etc., on the
free list. Sir Richard Cartwright
when he was in power taxed them five
per cent.
The early spring has been accompani-
ed by a big cheese make and the prices
at the opening markets are high. Not
only the tariff, but the weather and
the market has been fixed for the
farmer this year.
During the month of April the pub-
lic debt of the United- States was in-
creased by nearly $9,000,000. And
this, too, at a time when the Govern-
ment is unable to expend one dollar
on public works to help the unem-
ployed.
The Finance Minister has consented
to dress Mr. Edgar in Canadian cottons
so that he will be in the garb of a
Chinaman. Some of the cottons manu-
factured have been specially made for
China trade and sold at prices to 'suit
the people of that country. Mr. Edgar
is too much of e, Chinaman to he a Can-
adian statesman. All he lacks is the
proverbial "pigtail" to be dubbed a
foreigner.
The Canadian Engineer has been en-
larged twice since it started, and the
first number of the new volume (May)
shows an addition of twelve pages, be-
sides a portrait supplement. It has as
valuable article on pumping machin-
ery by Wm. Perry, the well-known
hydraulic engineer of Montreal, and
there are interesting biographical
sketches, with portraits, of all the
officers of the Canadian Society of
Civil Engineers. There are also numer-
ous illustrations, more or less attrac-
tive• to the mechanical niind, and a
large amount of news of what is trans-
piring .atnong the manufacturers of the
Dominion.
Looking back now the Cartwright
tariff upon some of the necessaries of
life seenis little short of a monstrosity.
Take for instance the taxes upon tea.
These were direct taxes because tea
could not be grown here, and con-
sequently home competition could not
reduce the price. Sir Richard Cart-
wright when he carne into power put
5 cents a pound on black tea, and 6
cents a pound on green tea. These it
will be seen were specific duties, and
the poor man who bought a pound of
trashy tea worth 25 cents paid just as
much into the public Treasury as the
millionaire who purchased a pound of
the finest tea that could be imported
into the country. It is scarcely neces-
sary to say that at present there is no
duty upon any kind of tea.
In 1889-90 the Government found
that 33,112,701 pounds of meats came
into Canada from the United States
and was consumed in Canadian cities
The reason was this that prices were
so low upon the other side of the line
that the American farmer could pay
the small duty which Canada had im-
posed and still undersell the Canadian
farmer in the Canadian market. '
The Government in consequence of
this, as will be remembered, raised the
duties, and in 1893 instead of the large
quantity of meats as indicated by the
figures above, only 4,630,000 pounds
were brought in, In other words the
Canadian fat mer has been given the
market for 29,000,000 pounds of meats.
If it had not been for the duty of
fr•orn 11 cts. to 3 cts. a pound (against
foreigners, Canadians would have been
entirely driven out of their own mar-
kets.

Few indeed of Clinton's citizens,
among the quick and the• dead, have
worked, to further her interests, as
zealously,as faithfully, as conscientious-
ly and as successfully as our present
'Reeve, Mr. McMurchie. The major
part of his life has been spent within
bee walls, and though until a few years
ago, he was a very busy manufacturer,
his time and talents have ever been at
her disposal. There is, in his long and
honorable career, in his public and
especially his private life, that straight-
forwardness, steadfastness and honesty
of purpose and purity that commands
our esteem. Few men have lived to so
good advantage, for he has by his
kindness and charity and in an hun-
dred other ways, made this world the
better for his living in it. He is one of
the • solid influential citizens of this
town and' enjoys the respect of every
body. With Mr. McMurchie as a man
"we have no quarrel,"
We know, however, that our people
are becoming much dissatisfied with the
work of the Street Committee and as
Mr. MeMurchie is chairman of that
committee he frust bear the brunt of
this kicking. The principal fault found
is the way the sidewalks are repaired.
We are very sorry to say it but our
sidewalks are in a wretched state.
Some of our streets are positively
dangerous, and the town is leaving it-
self liable to a costly suit for damages'
by permitting things to go on as they
are. It may he that $1400 is not
enough for this conirnittee, but they
can have more if they want it.
Mr. McMurchie, as the chairman,
is no doubt trying to be econom-
ical but can ,he not go too far 1 Is
there any necessity for such economy ?
Is it economy ? Mr. McMurchie, we
believe, can have $2000 or $3060 if he
will put the sidewalks in shape.—
�'i a know Mr. McMurchie does not like
advice from THE NEWS -RECORD but
it is not advice from THF. NEws-RE-
COnn, it is advice from the people.
For the people's sake, then, we trust
the Reeve will give this matter atten-
tion. Why can't a gang of men he put
on the sidewalks and do all the repair-
ing this month? Why wait until
October ? There will he lots of work
for one or two men all summer, laying
new sidewalks and making necessary
repairs on old ones. Now, we want to
say it as kindly as we can that we re-
gard Mr. McMurchie, in his capacity
of Reeve and Chairman of the Street
Committee (for he is Reeve as a result
of his own action,) as a servant of the
town who spends $1400 of the people's
money. Both in and out of the news-
papers they have every right to make
suggestions regarding the spending of
this sum, and further, they have the
right to have their suggestions properly
and fairly considered. If they are not
the Reeve is neglecting his duty. Mr.
McMurchie does not, we are sure,
think he is the only person in town
who knows anything about sidewalks
and we hope he will by his actions
make up for the mistake he made in
the Council meeting on the 7th inst.
Hon. Mr. Wallace made a strong
point in the House the ether day when
he said that the protection on cottons,
collars and cuffs protected the women
of Canada from the cheapest paid labor
in the world, and that the women of
Canada were entitled to this protec-
tion. Of course Sir Richard could not
agree with hirn, but the masses of the
people do. The Canadian cotton in-
dustry is one of which our people
should be proud. It has been built up
by a wise Canadian Conservative
Government. Thirteen millions of
dollars are invested in it, and two
millions and a half dollars of good
money are paid annually to nine theta
sand loyal mid industrious Canadian
people. And five thousand more de-
pend for a livelihood in the making of
shirts and collars. A policy that
protects Canadian industry and our
Canadian men and women must meet
with the endorsation of the Canadian
electorate. Hon. Mr. Wallace is a
true advocate of his own country.

Ililllr
more familiarly known its WiU,
r.
presented. theap eaxance of a hearty
. ung, nn . aboutI-I years of age, s
etpry 1.6 briefly related as follows; He
had been a sufferer front fits front his
Sixth' birthday, a childish fright being
supposed to have bean the original
cause, For years he would fall down
anywhere without being in the least"
able to help himself, the doctors from
Hamilton and various distant points
were in vain called in attendance.
Medicines were procured from numer-
ous sources in Canada, the United
States and even from England, with-
out avail. The boy became so utterly
helpless that seven years ago lie was
compelled to keep his led, and until a
year ago was completely helpless. The
fits sometimes carne on hint so severly
that ho would suffer from as many as
fifteen in one day, and at such tunes it
was so difficult for hitn to get his
breath, that his nurses had to wash
hire with liquor, At this time he was
so low that the neighbors who dropped
in to see him expected to hear of his
death almost any moment. This con-
tinued until about a year ago, when
the newspaper articles relating the
wonderful cures by the use of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills induced Mr. Hall to
give them a trial, and to the groat
satisfaction of himself and his friends
he hegan to mend not long after be-
ginning their use, and in three or four
months was sufficiently. recovered to
be able to go out of doors. He con-
tinued taking the pills, and for the
past six months has been as strong and
about as well as either of his brothers,
and has attended to the stock and done
his share of the work on his father's
farm and fruit garden. Before Mr.
Hall began taking the Pink Pills he
was so thin and light that one of his
brothers could carry him upstairs with-
out the least difficulty, but he has
since gained fifty pounds in weight.
He has not taken any other medicine
since he began taking Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills, and although a fit of
a very mild nature occasionally comes
on him now, lie is so nearly cured that
his father took great pleasure in giving
the information here recorded, "It is
over a month since I had a, spell," said
William as the reporter was leaving,
"rind even when I do have one now it
is not nearly so hard as before I hegan
to take the Pink Pills. The neighbors
look surprised to see me drive over to
Hamilton as I frequently do, for they
all thought I would die long ago. I am
pleased at the wonderful progress I
have made, and am very glad my ex-
perience is to be published as it may
be of value to some one else."
Every statement in this article may
be verified by a visit to the home of
Captain Hall, ex -councillor of East
Flamboro, who has resided on the
Plains road for the past eighteen years,
and whose word is as good as his bond
among those who know him. The re-
porter also had a conversation with
several of Captain Hall's neighbors,
and the story of William Hall's recov-
ery was verified to his full satisfaction.
Such well verified cases as the above
prove the wonderful efficacy of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills in the treatment
of all diseases of the nervous system,
and stamp the remedy as unique in the
annals of medicine. St. Vitus' dance,
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis,
rheumatism, sciatica, chronic erysipe-
las, nervous headache, the after effects
of la grippe, and all diseases depending
upon a depraved condition of the
blood, speedily yield to a treament
with the great medicine. By restoring
the blood to a healthy condition, and re-
building the nerves they speedily drive
out disease and leave the patient in the
enjoyment of vigorous health. They
are also a specific for the troubles
peculiar to women, and soon bring the
rosy glow of health to pale and. sallow
cheeks. In the case of nien they effect
a radical cure in troubles arising from
overwork, mental worry or excesses of
any nature.
The public are cautioned against
imitations and substitutes said to be
"just as good.'' These are only offered
by some unscrupulous dealers because
there is i larger profit for them in the
imitation. There is no other remedy
can suecess'ully take the place of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills, and those who
are in need of a medicine should insist
upon getting the genuine, which are
always put up in boxes bearing the
words "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
,Pale People." If you cannot obtain
them from your dealer, they will be
sent post-paid on receipt of 50 cents a
box, or $2.50 for six boxes, by address-
ing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,
Brockville, Ont., or Schenectady, N.
Y.
(From the Hamilton Herald.)
One of the most attractive places in
the County of Wentworth is the little
village of Aldershot, situated on what
is known as the Plains Road, about five
miles from the city of Hamilton. One
of the hest known residents of the
village and surrounding country is
Captain Hall, who has represented the
Township of East Flamboro in the
Municipal Council for a number of
years, and who, with his family, is
held in the highest esteem by all who
know him. Recently a reporter of the
Herald visited the home of Captain
Hall for the purpose of investigating a
story to the effect that one of the
captain's sons had been restored to
health in a wonderful manner after
having suffered since boyhood from
apoplectic flts. On arriving at his
destination, the reporter found the
genial captain, his wife, daughter and

It must have been very gratifying to
the proprietors of Ayer's Sarsaparilla
when the World's Fair opened, to
learn that their popular blood -purifier
was the only preparation of the kind
admitted at. the Fair. Yet such was
the fact. Out of all the many blood
medicines advertised so largely in
America, Ayer's was the only Sar-
saparilla allowed to be placed on ex-
hibition.
STILL AT IT
AND EXPECT TO
BE FOR SEVERAL
WEEKS YET.
AT WHAT ?
Selling and Trimming
Wall Paper.
OUR
Wall Paper,
Window Shades
AND
Curtain Poles
are what the people want,
that is why we are sell-
ing them so rapidly.
