, DIVERSITY OF INDUSTRY.
History does not offer an example of
re purely agricultural people who were
great and prosperous. Diversity of
industry must come before lasting pros-
perity. When the Canndian ministers
were at. Washington discussing the
question of better trade rela-
tions with the people of the United
,States, Mr. Blaine declared that the
United States would gladly supply
Canada with all the manufactures
that she needed, "and," added he,
"Canada would then be like many of
our States, a greatagricultural and
pastoral country." Mr. McCarthy, in
Iles recent speech in the House of Com-
mons, gave utterance to woi ds in the
same direction. In his great mind
there seemed to be a conviction that
Mr. Blaine was right. Fortunately,
however, the Canadian ministers did
not hold the same view. In view of
the facts we have referred to it is very
interesting to look at the evidence of
he value of a variety of industries as
presented by the census of the United
States.
Mr. Dodge, Statistician of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, has analys-
ed. the census of 1881. He has divided the
states into four lots. In the first one of
these lots eighteen per cent. only of
can be atten . in a/11044, valuable near-
ket. The statlstaes show that the Cana,
dian farmers ralse each year prodltce
to the vane ° of $500,000,000. Of this
rodttce $8,Ct'3,009 worth is exported
to the 'United States. $42.000,000
worth is..ex orted to Great Britain,
or a total of $50,000,000 Worth
exported fro'xn Canada, The
.nee of 10$50,000,00Q worth is cone
sinned at home. The policy of the
Libe sial party. Pays that we Shall not

strong by centuries of 'protection cert-
tainl demonstrates beyond a doubt,
that the fact of the removal of "every
vestige of protection" would be to des
troy our industries at home and maks•
us consumers of the preduction of for-
ign labor. Now whatdo our industries
amount to ? Leaving. aside the amount
of mon, invested in them,let us not
forget that thee i,ndu tr. paby
laborers and artisans each year the im-
mense sum of $99,003,000 in wages. A
great share of this $99,030,000 goes into
the pockets of the Canadian farmer for
what feeds the artisan and his family.
We leave it to the Canadian fanner
himself whether he is prepared to say
that this yearly wage shall cease.
Supposing that some capitalists were
to come to this town and propose to
erect here a factory and start an in,
dusty which would employ El or 100
men. This town would be in a iitate of
excitement, the people in the town and
the farmers in the surrounding coun-
try would no doubt, be willing to grant a
bonus to be paid out of their own
pockets and to relieve the pormoter of
such works of municipal taxation no
doubt for a number of years. Irl
other words we should he glad to give
every form of encouragement possible
to any man who will employ a large
number of people. Why then should
we be so silly as to adopt any policy
that would destroy the industrieswhich
are scattered over Canada from its ex-
treme east to its extreme west? The
people of Canada will never do it.
If there is one thing more than
another that ,I hope will characterize
the nations composing the British
empire, it is the maintenance of our
national integrity. -Meredith at Lon-
don.
7IAfE HONORED PRINCIPLE.
Mr. Charlton, M. P. for North Nor-
folk, in a public letter recently ex-
pressed his views upon each item in the
platform of the Patrons of Industry.
One of ,the planks in the "Patrons"
platform is purity in the administra-
tion of public affairs. With childlike
simplicity, Mr. Charlton in comment-
ing on this plank in the platform de-,,
Glares, "this is an old time part of the
Liberal policy." Let us revive Mr.
Charlton's memory as to one act per-
formed by the Mackenzie administra-
tion which shews the kind of business
methyl -cis they adopted in order to put
into practice this time honored princi-
ple. A gentleman named Timothy
Warren Anglin, known of recent years
well, and frequently in the pages of
Ontario's public accounts for services
en various commissions, was elected
Speaker of the House of Commons
atter the Liberals were returned to
power in 1873. Mr. Speaker Anglin
owned a small printing office down in
St. John, N. B.
It was purely a newspaper office,
there being no job printing office in
connection with it. While Mr. Speak-
er Anglin occupied the Chair of the
House of Commons, and was supposed
to be thoroughly impartial as the head
of the House, Mr. Anglin was also a
contractor for public printing used in
connection with the post office depart-
ment. The money received by Mr.
Anglin was as follows :-
Year ending 30th June, 1875 $ 8,123 31

neetion with that Polley simply for

Who, is. fir. McCarthy s• bosom friend,
gave;' contradiction to this statement
on April Oh in Parliament, Ho said
follows; "There_ was occasion to
give industries such protection as was
proposed. by the tariff Introduced in
1$79. It was also intended to promote
the 1pvestment of capital in the coun-
try.. It Was to give an impetus to busi-
nese and financial circles, where at the
time Veryreat depression existed, It
was intended to give as far -as possible
diversity of employment to the y ouog
men and not compel them to look
abroad, for that sort of employment
they could find at home. All these
things were intended to be accomplish-
ed and to areat' extent they were
m
accolished by the National Policy."
Mr. McCarthy will have to take his
follower in hand. Agan! Mr. Mc-
Carthy attacked the Government in
his speech upon the tariff because
trade with the United States he said
would not be encouraged by the new
'tariff. Col. O'Brien in his speech gave
Mr. McCarthy the answer again on the
same day as the above. The Colonel's
answer was as follows : "I do not
:agree with the gentlemen opposite in
their views on the subject of recipro-
city with the United States. I wholly
differ with them, not only with the
policy they advocated last session, but
also with regard. to that trade. I do
not pretend to belittle its importance
but I do say that the people Of the
United States have told us in the most
unmistakable terms that they do not
want our trade." Strange sight! Mr.
McCarthy calling out for the govern-
ment to- be condemned because they
have not tried again to get American
markets, and his chief, in fact his only
follower, declaring that the markets
are not of great value, and that if they
were, there is no use trying to get
them.
the people are engaged in the pursuance
of agriculture, and in that lot land is
worth $38.65 per acre. In the second
lot 42 per cent of the people are engag-
ed in agriculture, and the land there is
worth $30.95 per acre. In the third lot
5S per cent. of the people are engaged
in agriculture, and the land is worth
$13.53 per acre. In the fourth lot 77
per cent. of the people are engaged in
agriculture, and the land is only worth
$5.18 per acre. These . figures are
certainly very instructive figures.
They show undoubtedly that the Pres-
ence of manufacturing industries in
any particular section of the country
Bycreating a market for the produce
raised upon the farms of that section
of country, increases the value of these
farms. The people of the fourth lot
that we refer to above may be
called to adopt the language of Mr.
McCarthy "a pastoral people." Out of
every 100 people 77 are engaged in
farming, and only 23 engaged in
other occupations; those 23 being people
engaged in those trades and callings
iriade necessarily attending upon a
farming population. Manufacturers
do not exist at all. It may be said,
however, that these figures are not so
conclusive as we make appear above.
It may be pointed out that necessarily
the fourth lot that we hayed referred
to contains most of the States west of
the Mississippi, where the great prairie
lands are situated and where land
could not he expected to reach any-
thing like the value that it has attained
in the Eastern States of the Republic.
But the following figures do away
with the objection that we mention.
It is shown further by the analysis of
Mr. Dodge that not only is land more
valuable in those States in which
manufacturing industries are establish-
ed, but it is also shown that land is of
much greater value in the manufactur-
ing counties of those States we refer
to. It cannot surely' be accidental
that in every state there is a difference
in the value of land in favor of the
manufacturing counties, and it certain-
ly is true that where there is little
manufacturing there is scarcely any
difference between the value of these
lands and the value of lands in non-
manufacturing States.
Now take the figures. Take the first
group forihstance, in the manufactur-
ing counties of that group the
land is worth $71.85 per acre, and
in the non -manufacturing counties of
that groupthe land is worth $40.33 per
acre. In he second group the land in
the manufacturing counties is worth
$43.54, and in the nonmanufacturing
counties it is ' worth $32.03. In the
third group in the manufacting coun-
ties, land is Worth $32.90, and in non-
'manufaeturing counties $17.14. In
the fourth group land is worth $21.95
in the manufacturing counties and
$8 .27 in the other counties. These
figures certainly go undoubtedly to
show that in order to be .prosperous
the farming po elation must have near
them an industrial population to, con -
sumo the production of their farms.
Now let us -look at thq position in Can-
ada. It is true the home market is
very often sneered at by' the Grit poli-
ticians, but the home market accord-
ing, to the very best statistics that
" 1876 10,263 94

The only possible defence that could
be made- for Mr. Anglin was that al-
though the matter was illegal arid
shameful, still the prices at which Mr.
Anglin did the work were not too high.
This however was not true, as it will
be seen by, reference to page 824 of the
"Hansard," of 1876. There Mr. Hunt-
ingdom, who was Postmaster General,
admitted that the prices paid to Mr.
Anglin were 50 per cent. higher than
the work ought to have been done for.
The worst part of it is that Mr. Anglin
as above stated had no job printing
place in connection with his news-
paper. He got over that, however, by
the farming out of the $20.05) worth of
printing referred to, to small offices in
his province, thereby making a certain
amount of miserably cheap political in-
fluence for himseltand at the same
time sweating from these poor fellows
a good many thousand dollars for him-
self. Notw,thstanding this act Mr.
Anglin was retained as Speaker of the
House of Commons, for though he was
compelled to give up his seat the Gov-
ernment in defiance of all the rules of
decency when he had been returned
again placed him once more in posses-
sion of the highest honor that the
House of Commons of Canada has to
confer upon a Commoner. This and a
hundred other acts which disgraced
the career of the Grit Government at
Ottawa. sounds strangely enough when
put down opposite Mr. Charlton's de-
claration that "purity of administra-
tion has always been the time honored
principle of the Liberal party." It
should be mentioned that the condem-
nation of the act mentioned above was
not confined to the Conservative ive ranks
or the Conservative press, and hence
the action of the Government in re-
electing Mr. Anglin Speaker is all the
more condemable. Even as pronounced'
a Government sheet as the London Ad-
vertiser. at the time declared in answer
to the cry of spmpathy which someone
had started for the Speaker, "Mr. Ang-
lin may be the victim ofisfortune,
but misfortune encountered in the pur-
suit of gain does not command the
sympathy it otherwise excites." Does
Mr. Charlton want some more samples
of how his friends stood by this "time
honored principle of purity of adminis-
tration." It ought not to he forgotten
that Mr. Charlton was a member of the
House of Commons when this jobbery
was perpetrated and took an active
part in defending It.

HOW EXPENSES HAVE GROWN.
Toronto Empire.
In the last year of Sanfleld Mac-
donald's Government, 1871, the ex-
penses of civil government in this
province were ,$114,613.99. As educa-
tional affairs were then under a super-
intendent, and not under a Minister of
the Government, we add the cost of
the educational office and contingencies
in that year, $12,013 and 53,634.79 re-
spectively, to this amount, bringing
the total up to 5130,281.78.
The following table taken from Mr.
Harcourt's budget speech, shows how,
after the Liberal party attained power,
the cost of civil government has in-
creased until it now reaches the enor-
mous sum of 5241,621.63 :

What is meant by the expenses of
civil government is the cost of the de-
partments considered necessary for ad-
ministration, that is, the salaries of the
heads of the Government and their
assistants with the contingent account.

These figures are taken from the
public accounts, which is the official
financial statement of the Government.
It needs brit a glance to show that in
every department there has been an in-
crease of expenditure.
The Attorney -General's office has in-
creased in salaries from $6,621 to 517,-
350.
The Crown Lands Department office
from $29,831 to 541,082.
The Public Works office from $10,-
365 to 519,250.
The Treasury Department from $8,-
765 to 512,51.1
These are but a few of the increases,
not in one year, but extending over
twenty-two years, so that the in-
creases, if gone through year by year,
will show that certainly economy in
administration has not marked the
rule of the Liberal Government.
Health and happiness are relative
conditions ; at any rate, there can be
little happiness without health. To
give the body its full measure of
strength and energy, the blood should
be kept pure and vigorous, by the use
of Ayei•'s Sarsaparilla.

Showing an excess of expenditure over
receipts of 52,808,390.98, creating a
deficit to that amount.
Included in the receipts are amounts
raised by the sale of annuities, that is
sums borrowed by the Government on
guar ante, to repay them within forty.
years in annual instalments with inter-
est. These borrowed sums cannot
rightly be regarded as receipts, but

The Western States and territories
of the United States are largely agri-
cultural, and ft might have been ex-
pected that an absolutely farmers'
party would exist and prosper there if
anywhere. A year or so ago, a party
known as "Populists," org:Jiized for
the purpose of killing the old political
parties, grew to great dimensions, its
candidates 'being elected by immense
majorities. In the recent State elec-
tions however, these victorious results
have not been maintained. Writing
upon the subject recently, a western
authority gives what is no doubt the
true reason for the change in senti-
ment. He says : "There were many
men who cultivated the Populist senti-
ment and adopted Populist principles
in order toet support, but who,
having got that support used their
victories for their own benefit, or for
the advantage of the old parties with
which they bad been connected. In
other words, the honest and conscien-
tious supporters of the Populist move
ment were hoodwinked, and made the
tools of designing selfish and knavish
leaders." Let us see in what better
position the western people have been
put by their break with the old parties.
They have elected men of inferior -
ability. In many instances these men
were demagogues pure and simple, or
perhaps better to use the expression of
a late Secretary of Agriculture in
speaking of the farmers, '`They did
the very worst thing for the farmers
because they farmed the farmers."
Recent advices shew that the farmers
of the west understand this pretty
well, and in the recent election, to
which we have already referred,
thousands of them are returning to the
old parties as the best instrument by
which they may effect the reforms
which they desire. In short the Pop-
ulist movement of the western States•
has proved a failure so far as the real'
objects which the farmers of the west
desire to see accomplished. It has,
however, succeeded in throwing to the
surface a number of tricky, demagogic
politicians, who, having ridden to
office upon class prejudice, are not
Iikely to accept their quietus until they
have tried to retain their hold by every
questionable method known to men
with whom fixity of principles is an
unknown attribute.

the round sums are given it is difficult

as interest:'

As originally stated, the annuities
receipts :are set down in the accounts at
$1,432,519.07 ; against this the expendi-
ture by way of. repayment shows 5460,-
800, yet the provrncial'auditor certifies
that the present value of annuities is
51,319,775.70, establishing that the
Government has repaid only $112,743.36
of the borrowed money, the balance,
$x54,057, being interest. Deducting
the amount of borrowed money, $1,-
432,519.C6, from the total receipts and
the 5112,743 repaid from the expendi-
ture, leaves the totals $67,511,835.o5 and
$71,00,052.59, showing the deficit of
receipts, as compared with expendi-
ture in the twenty-two years, to be
54,128,167.04.

I discountenance and ,disclaim any
attacks that have been made in the
name of any party, or of any body,
against any religious community as a
religious community. -Meredith at
London.
In his London speech Sir Oliver
Mowat confessed that he had expended
all the money left in the treasury by
Sandfield Macdonald, and much more.
He defended the spending of the
money by saying that Sandfield Mac-
donald had not intended that it should
be kept as a permanent capital -that
it was there for the purpose of being
spent. What the opposition has found
fault with in this matter has chiefly
been the fact that Sir Oliver has, all
along, pretended that he still had the
money, when it was all gone. The ex-
travagance which depleted the treas-
ury was not;so much the point of at-
tack as the lying pretence that the
money had not' been expended, and
that the "surplus" still remained in the
treasury. By it hocus-pocus of figures
Sir Oliver's treasurer has been able to
claim, session after session, a large
surplus, amounting to quite'uis much
as the nestegg left by Sandfield Mac-
donald. Session after session these
bogus figures have been attacked by
the opposition, and it has been clearly
shown that it was absolutely impossible
that any surplus remained : that, in
fact, Sir Oliver had wasted the patri-
mony of the province and plunged it
deeply into debt. These exposures
have always been treated with ridicule
and laughter by Mowat's supporters in
the house, and the Grit press of On-
tario has sofrequentlydeclared that the
Sandfield Macdonald nestegg remained
intact, • that the rank and file of the
Ontario Grits have come to believe that
the money was actually there. The pro-
vince of Ontario has been held up as an
example of what economical gov-
ernment had done, and pointed
to with pride by Grits every-
where. Now we and Sir Oliver -after
all these years of deceit and crooked
figures --coolly facing an audience of
Grits in London and not only telling
them that the Sandfield Macdonald
savings had all been spent, but actually
trying to snake excuse for the extrava-
gant dissipation of four millions of
dollltrs left to the people of Ontario b

The Globe wants to know why Mr.
Meredith didn't mention the calf inikis .
London address. Mr. Meredith k¢s
that the calf can cough for itself, and
at the same time furnish such intelli-
gible argument against Farmer Dryden
that he cannot refute it. The sick calf
is coughing so distressingly in South
Ontario that it gives the Commissioner
of Agriculture no peace, and will so
curve its spine and hough on election
day that Mr. Dryden's supporters will
not have courage enough to go to the
polls.
However much may be said by way
of theory in favor of the proposition of
a political head for the Department of
Education, the practical application of
that system has been an utter failure.
