'Au Untrue Comparison.
t in the`Iast issue of Saturday night,
""Don" makes a comparison of political
1 >, affairs in England and Canada, ehow-
ugthat theparties in the old land are
rs�
t ? ;governec�t by • principle, but in this
country by policy, and uses the follow-
ing words in so doing
'.'Here all is falsity and pretense in
*Utica, . for who doubts that Sir Mac-
enzie Bowell's present Government
would adopt Free Trade if this were
'necessary to avert defeat, or that Hon.
Wilfred Laurier and his friends would
• advocate Protection,. if by so doing
. •lthey • ctniltr-attkin =office-? - - Herewe
31ave-Mr•Foster Manipulating the tar-
iff without being guided by any con-
`s..,`vietions in political economy, but mere-
; y to please those whom it pays to
•please while raising revenue."
We contend that this is not true soy
'far as Mr Laurier is concerned, and
3chailetige Don to specify an instance
wherein his principles, so far as they
relate to trade matters, have:been sac-
rificed to expediency. Mr Laurier was
.a member of Mr Mackenzie's Govern-
' _went when that Government refused
;to grant the Manufacturers' Associa-
tion an increase of tariff from 17} to 20
per cent, although the request was
made by Liberal manufacturers, and
.on this occasion Mr Laurier went into
Opposition with others, sooner than
sacrifice his convictions. From that
,day to this, where is then e an instance
sof Mr Laurier's willingness•to advocate
'protection, if it would havegiven him
`'the chance of office. He admits that
protection is necessary] for revenue -
,raising purposes, but consistently he
las opposed the "protective" features
,of the system. We contend that it is
neither fair nor true to state that a
man, whether Conservative or Liberal,
would do this or that if he had a
-chance, unless there is some evidence
in his record to substantiate the state-
ment. There is altogether too much
"assuming" jib political writing, and
Don, with all his admitted ability, does
more than he is warranted in doing.
' BINDER TWINE
During a discussion in parliament
the other day concerning binder twine,
come questions put to Sir Charles Tup.
per by Mr McMillan, M.P., for South
o+'• 7"EHttron, elicited the information that
9,n effort bad been made by some one
roiieerned in the Brantford Binder
¶.wine Co., (Patron) to form a combine
with the government in the manufac-
tnre of twine, and keep up prices. As
the Brantford concern is run mainly in
the interest of the Patrons, this alleged
le'ftort on their part to enter a combine
gave rise to the suspicion that they
were not working in the interest of the
Patrols as much as they claimed to be.
At the Patron picnic in Tuckersmitb,
on Friday, this reported attempt to
form a combine was emphatically re-
ptidiated by one of the speakers, who
declared that the Company never •had
attempted to form a combine, and nev-
et dfoutiil as lopg as he had anything to
an with it.

There was a large gatheringof tarn-,
ers and others, at the grove Of Mr Jae.
Landsboro, 3rd con., of Tuckeramitb,0u
Fridap'afternoon last, many'no doubt'
beingresent`out of .curiosity to hear
what the Patron leaders had to say.-
A platform lead ,been erected for the
speakers, and the band of the Mrd Rat-
talion was present. The chair was oc-
cupied by Mr`, John Govenlock, Vice.
President of the county association.
Mr Common, the patron candidate
for the South Riding,,Was called as the
first .speaker, but 'be simply acknow•
ledged the honor and made,way for the
others. n.
Mr Haycock, Patron leader was then
called open, and at once launched out
into the objects and,aiuis ofpatronisin;
he condempedthe formation -of lodges
for the sole purposes of tradiggg,though
patrons believed in buyingin the cheap-
est and selling in the dearest market;
they should work for the grander pur-
poses and principles of the order. The
patron object was to remedy what was
believed to be faults in the system of
legislation, and if either of the political
parties had shown themselves willing
to make the reforms asked for, the Pe-
trone would never have been in it. He
scored the newspapers because of their
partizanship, complimented the Local
member for South Huron, Mr McLean,
on his independence in the house,usti-
fied the • action of the patrons tjhere,
showing that they had voted nine times
with the Opposition, six times with the
Government, and the Government and
Opposition voted three times against
the Patrons, which answered the charge
of partyism. He referred to the abuse
of the system appointing partizans to
office, and advocated the elective plan;
the mileage and railway pass matter,
abolition of government house, gratui-
ties and superannuations to public ser-
vants, were each referred to, and he
closed a good speech by urging farmers
to be true to their own interests.
Mr Stratford, manager of Brantford
Binder Twine Co., was the next speak-
er. He referred to his own deep inter-
est in farming matters, and his inabili-
ty to make it pay, to the benefits ac-
cruing to the farmers'by assembling
together and discussing live issues,
claimed he was a believer in protection
as necessary to his business; the great-
er part of his speech, however, was ta-
ken up with an appeal to the farmers
to stand true to the Brantford Binder
Twine Co, alleging that if they did not
do so, it would go to the wall, and then
farmers would be at the mercy of mo-
nopolists.
Mr McLean was given an opportuni-
ty to address the electors, and referred
briefly to some of the points in the ad-
dresses of Messrs Haycock and Strat-
ford, taking exception to that of the
latter to the effect that the Brantford
company was entitled to credit for re-
ducing binder twine, and showing that
it was the Mowat Government which
was entitled to credit.
Mr Currie was the last speaker, and
in an address of 1 } hours he figuratively
jumped on each government with both
feet. He expressed regret and surprise
at hearing Mr Stratford admit that he
was a protectionist, and as the patrons
were opposed to this principle, he de-
"nounced•it unmercifully. His address
was_ a condemnation of both govern-
ments on certain lines, but was more
largely devoted to the alleged short
comings of the Mowat administration,
and dealt only indifferently with Do-
minion issues, though the picnic was
supposed to be held in the interest of
Dominion issuee.
All the speakers were accorded good
hearings, and all made some good
points, but it is not to be expected that
everything said would be fully agreed
to.
Church Chimes.
The usual monthly fellowship meet-
ing will he held in the Methcdist
churches, on Sunday morning next.
An Usborne correspondent says:—
Last week Zion Sabbath school held
its anniversary services and tea. Rev
Mr Newcombe, of Clinton, delivered
very instructive sermons on Sunday,
the church being crowded, while many
had to remain outside.
Rev J. S. Fialier, late of Atwood,
who moves to Gorrie, will have charge
of one of the prettiest small churches
in the county. It is a fine brick struc-
ture, with tower and bell, with all
modern conveniences for doing good
work. It was built in 1892, cost be-
tween six and seven thousand dollars,
is only about $500 in debt now, and
this is is provided for.
The following are the officers of the
Junior League of Rattenbury street
church, for the current term:—Pres.,
Olive Helyar; 1st Vice, Emma Baker;
2nd Vice, AnnaWorthington; 3rd Vice,
Ethel Doherty; 4th Vice, Flossie King;
5th Vice, Eva Cooper; Rec. Sec., Mag-
gie Davis; Cor. Sec., Mabel Shannon;
Honor Roll Sec., Silas Andrews; Treas.,
Clara Holmes; Mite Box Treas., Dolly
Cantelon.
Both morning and evening large
congregations greeted Rev. W. J. Ford
the newly appointed Pastor of the Ont-
ario St. Church. Taking as his morn-
ing text lst Samuel, 10th chap. 26th
ver6e, and in the evening 2nd Corp 9.15,
the Reverend gentleman delivered
two excellent discourses, and we feel
sore that both he and Mrs Ford have
'already made hosts of friends in Clin-
ton

mons. Mr. McBain is an Elma boy

may.
CRICKET—One of the finest games of
cricket ever played in Clinton, was the
one on Wednesday between- Parkdale
club, of Toronto, and our home team.
A large crowd witnessed t he game from
beginning to end, and manifested deep
interest in it. The Parkdale club was
the winner by 36 runs and one inning
to spare. Those making double figures
for Clinton, were R. J. McDonald and
L. Kennedy, and for Parkdale, Messrs.
Chambers, Clarke, Hall and Read.—
The visitors play a beautiful game, and
are considered the Strongest team in
Canada, they were_ assistedby the
well known cricketer. Itev. M'r Terry,
of London, whose batting and wicket-
keeping was greatly admired. The
visitors paid some high compliments to
several of our players, especially to Mr
James McMurchie, whose bowling was
the best they have met this season.—
Mr R. J. McDonald carried the honors
of the day, making 21 the first inning,
and doing some excellent wicket keep-
ing. Messrs M. McTaggart and Joseph
Chidley made two beautiful catches.—
Some disappointment was felt by the
spectators when the veteran cricketer,
Mr J. Howson was not seen bowling.
He had been reserved for the second
innings, which was not played. The
visitors were entertained by the home
club at the Hotel Clarendon, and also
iven a drive to Bayfield in the even-
ing, leaving next morning for Paris, to
play the fourth game of their tour.

theory of knowledge, and the scholarship
of $50 in philosophy.
RETIIRNED.—The many friends of Mr.
Dan Rose, of the 3rd con., are glad to see
him back from Chicago, although the last
operation he underwent there was a very
severe one, necessitating the removal of
almost the entire lower jaw. He has not
yet fully recovered from the effects of it,
and finds it difficult to converse freely, but
he is improving, and his host of friends are
in hopes that no farther operation may be
necessary, and that he may speedily become
his wonted self again.
