As against this sweeping reduc-
tion in the duties on the goods farmers
'buy, the protection given -farmers on
their' products is not interfered with.
Beef, pork, oats and oatmeal, and all
other, articles produced by the farur-
ers. of Canada, and in which competi-
tion froin. •abroad 'might tend to,.cle-
moralize the home Market, still -retain
the :old- duties. On the whole there-
fore, the interests of the fanners have
lieen very well looked after in the re-
vision just completed. It is true they
still -pay duties on a large number of
'articles, but they are in the main artic-
les of which the farmers buy no more
per head than do other classes; and
since the country must have reveinfe;
no sensible or patrotic citizen will com-
plain because he is asked to contribute
his share.
WHAT WE HAVE ESCAPED!
•
We need pot say. that uncertainty
as to tariff of any country is an injury
to the business interests of that coun-
try.. Whde such uncertainty exists
importations fall off, the investment of
money in the establishing of new enter-
prises or the extension of old ones
ceases; labor is out of employment,
Money is tight, markets.' are dull, and
business generally is paralyzed. These
ape self evident truths: Canada, has
happily had very little of such uncer-
tainty.. The ' Dominion Government
recognized the evil effects of delay and
slow • action in regard to so im-
portant a matter, and within a .few
days after the meeting .of Parlia-
ment the new tariff was introduced and
every other business of Parliament was
dropped until the tariff was adopted
which was practically done months
ago. The United States Congress
began last November to deal with the
tariff matter. After nearly ten
months of wrangling they are still at
it and no certainty, of any kind yet
exists as'to what the measure may he
or as to when it will he passed. In the
meantime, while Congress grinds away
and windy OtingressInen talk and
corrupt Senators speculate in stocks
that are neither boomed or depressed
by their own actions, the deuntry's busi-
ness interests are being thrown into
the inost hopeless confusion and the
nation's toilers are rapidly being driven
into poverty and starvation—conditions
that are always the forerunners of' dan-
gers to the safety and peace, of any
people,
Our people ought to stop and serious-
ly reflect upon what they, have escap-
ed by the wisdom of Catiada'S States.

LOOKED AT PROJI ABROAD.
The Grit party of Canada while they
have 'always been looked on by the
great mass of the Canadian people as a
party lacking any. great principle in
their so-called policies, have up to very.
recently had a certain anieunt of res-
pect, from the people of the United
States. Even that is. gone now. The
New York "Sun" has 11S:witty had a
very kind word for the Canadian Grits.
At the same tine it usually attacked
the Conservative Government because
the policy of the Conservative Govern-
ment has been an out and out Canadi-
an and British one. But even the Sun
is getting tired of Laurier and Cart-
wright. Speaking recently, that news-
paper declared as follows :—"The policy
,of the Conserv:IMO party is practical
and can he realized and defended by
those who desire to maintain monarch-
ial institutions upon this continent.
The policy proposed by Messrs. Laurier
and Cartwright involves. financial
7trouble, and incireased exodus, decreas-
ed immigration and commercial aed in-
dustrial stagnation. The Liberal lead-
ers should abandon :t and should
formulate an issue which will com-
mand the respect and skipport of all
the elements which are opposed to the
Tory party; one which will conserve
rather than destroy the prosperity of
their country. If they desire a success
they should 'first deserve it." Evident-
ly the Grit party are in a bad hole.
T.Tp to recently they enjoyed United
States confiden.ce. Now they appear
neither to enjoy the confidence of
Canadians or Americans: -
In the new tarriff the Dominion
Government have suggested a line of
dealing with the people of the United
States, that if accepted by them, may
be indefieitely extended and made the
basis of a fair and epuitable treaty.
They have said in their new tariff to
the people on the other side of the line,
"We wiil give you a market for your
corn if you will give us a market for
our barley." This Will be accepted by
all as an offer of fair and equitable ex -
.change, and -if the American Govern- •
went do not accept it, it is only an-
other evidence that they are unpre-
pared to accept any fair proposals of
trade between Canada and the United
States.

The .11,19W84 government has purchas-
ed ninety tons 9r radiatorsin Detroit
for use, m the new asylum at Brock-
ville. There is no good -reason why
these things should not- have been pur-
chased in Onthrio. Ontario would have
been very glad to supply them, as good
and as Chep as the betrorit article

That society which has been organ-
ized in 'England to protect negroes in
the southren stiites from being lynch-
ed is an offSet to the societies in the
• United States which have been organ-
ized- t� interfere with the operation of'
British law in Ireland. It is hardly
however, that the English
society ;if ill 'iraise money to promote
reform through the agency of assassina-
tiou.
The law authorizes a two year term
in the penitentiary for any one who
drives a horse to death. Reckless
young men who are in the habit of
going out with livery rigs should paste
this statement in theirhats. Assistant
Police Magistrate Kingsford, of Toron-
to, made it very clear Thursday- that he
believes horses as well as human beings
have rights and it will not be well for
the next one who comes before him on
a charge similar to that for which a
young lad was sent down Thursday.
The prevailing fashion up in Muskoka
is to present addresses to Sir John
Thompson, When the premier goes
out for an hour or two of fishing in the
. morning, and rows to some apparently
uninhabited island dig for worms,
he is usually caught in the act by the
whole • family in possession ot the
island. Then he must stand up and
listento a long aldress, and reply to it
in measured and stateamanlike periods.
But the custom is not without its ad-
vantages. •
J. J. McLaren, Q. lel, has expressed
the opinion that the courts will say the,
Provinces liave not anthoriV.to inter-
fere with the importation or manufac-
ture of liquor, but that they • have
power of prohibition or restriction in
the matter of sale. In other words,
the cbunsel of the Prohibitionist
appears to be coming around to the
view that the Legislature is competent
. pass the Matter bill, but that it
cannot go beyond the scope of that
measure.—Toronto News (Indepen-
dent.)
A protest against the election of Mr.
M. Y. McLean who was returned by a
very small majority as member for
'South Huron at the last general elec-
tion was yesterday lodged. at -Osgoode
Hall, Taranto. Serions charges of bri-
eryand corruption are made in the
petition. The compilation of evidence
has been prooeeded with quietly and
unostentatiously, but it is reported that
a large nuinber of instances in which
the electors were bribed or spirited
awaybyagents of Mr. McLean to pre-
vent their voting for Mr. Weinniller
have been discovered. It is Mao alleg-
ed that there, is gOod evidence that
voters were bribed by direct payment
of money by leading . agents...1V the,

porters of Me. McLean, who had no
right to vote,will be accused of swallow-
