The policy of the Liberal party is based upon theory, in which respect, it has the regard of due venerrtion. When the abolition of the corn laws was -advocated in Great Britain no devotee of the policy dreamed for one moment that the min of British agriculture would follow as a consequence. And we are bound to say that the Cobden school of economists had sonic warrant for their view, which was that the cost of transportation of wheat from foreign ports to England would always con- stitute an adequete protection for the home product. Where the tr lobdenites erred was in assuming that the cost of carriage would remain at the rate preyalent in their day, and that the mere rate of duty was a secondary ,consideration, a violation of sound economic principles whose removal would please the theorists without dis- turbing the position of the agricultural- ist. Fifty year's experience has des- troyed these closet dreams. The price of British wheat has declined to one- half the cost of carriage of the product, from America to England as estimated by Mr. (7ohden, and in this marvellous reduction of transportation rates the whole theory of the Cobden school receives its quietus.The fact is that transportation rates destroy all tariff calculations, and often render illusory the purpose of istie best arranged designs of go Vern need s. Te k' it simple case, neniely, the trade in potatoes In the United States. The American IT • 1.4.. 0”, • I • J . , . . I • . • Onvernment imposes a duty upon potatoes ‘71400p imported into that country, in order to protect the home grower/m:4 the duty unquestionably serves its object to souse extent. The striking fact, none the less, is exhibited of a concurrent import and export of potatoes from the same country. Here are the particulars in the words of a Washington correspondent :- "During the ten years endingJune 30, 1894, there were imported into this cotin- tt y 29,495,417 bushels uf potatoes, with an aggregate value of $16,155,481, or an average value of 44.6 cents per bushel. The net excess of imports over exports for the same periosi was 21,847,405 bushels, with n value of $9,290,345, During the year 1888 this country rais- ed the largest crop but one during the period above mentioued, the crop being 202,865,000 bushels. During the same year we imported 8,250,000 bushels of potatoes. That we should go abroad to buy potatoes or any other farm product is a matter of surprise to the Agricultural department. But statis- tics thatcannot be denied show that during the 10 years just passed almost $10,000,000 of our gold has gone abroad to pay for this tuber which forms such a great percentage of the aggiegate of our farm products. Among the coun- tries to which we export pot atoes Cuba is the most pwimiinet, the British West Indies aud Noah American provinces, with Mexico, Central America, the United States of Columbia, Veuezuela, the Hawaiian Islands aud Hong Kong being also among our larger custome for this product. The principal con tries from which we obtain our Impoi of the same vegetable are the Unit Kingdom, particularly Scotland, at the Brusee North American provinces. Germany, Belgium and the Nether- lands sometimes contribute consider- able quantities while Bermuda and some of the islands of the'West Indies supply us with a part of our. 'early potatoes." cORRo.rt Toms. Main Sanity in bis "Wealth of Na. 00118," says 1-•47,VbattiVeV telisIS to di- minish In any country its number of artifices and manufactures tends to di. minish its home Market -the most im- portant of all markets -for the rude produce of the, soil, and thereby to still further discourage agriculture." According to a return prepared by the Government of Sim Oliver Mowat, the assessed value of its land in 'the Province of Ontario increased $65,00D,- 000 from 1881 to 1892, while a return presented recently to the Imperial Parliament by Mr. Shaw Lefevre, shows that during the same period, the assessed value of its laud in Free Trade England, decreased $58,000,000.'" Speaking of the terrible cimunercial depression in Great Britain and the United States, the Montreal Star says: "Thanks to the gond sense which has kept us commercially independent of all the world -so far its a moderate tariff will accomplish that task -we have not, suffered- from the financial storm that has raged outside of our barricades as much as we might have done, had our dykes been done." es An English paper, referring to the n- trade question, in a recent issee, said : t's Free trade, half a century ago, was ed ,d the panacea for all human ills. Under free trade everybody was to he happy, healthy, svealthy and wise. To even now hint a word against it is considered rank blasphemy by the older school of political thinkers. But the young men everywhere are asking themselves if we have not given the drug sufficient experiment ; or, at all events, whether the surroundings have not changed -and the conditions altered to au extent sufficient to render a new treatment advisable. Now the curious fact in connectio with this trade is that the Unite States even in the year of largest hon production was both an importer an exporter of potatoes, an automat whose solution is found in geographicr conditions and 'transportation rate The United States can import the tub from Scotland while exporting th saute to Cuba, a state of things whic destroys at once the theories of th economists, and which sadly eonfust Canadian Liberals in their discussio of free trade as they have it in En land. The fallacy of the theorists is i assuming that principles must woe eniformly without respect of the con ditions of their application. The el ments of distance and cost of transpo tation are ignored entirely by them The United States, for example, ma at one end find it profitable to imper potatoes from Canada, and at the othe end find it profitable to export potatoe to Cuba. The free traders would argu therefor is, that the duty is of no effect and taking a wide range of couutr would conclude that the policy of pro tectiou is illusory. The true mferenc is exactly the contrary. Protectiv duties help the section exposed t competition, whether that competi tion arises from cheap transportatio or from a surplus product in th competing country, and it would b quite erroneous to infer that becaus from one 'section of a country an export coeurs coincident with th import of the MDR product in another section that the policy of protective duties has failed. genre_ seerereeerSeertelere NO REMEDIAL LEGISLATION* TIIL SESSION. • In both Houses on Monday the fol - wing stacement was made by Pre- fer Bowell and Leader Foster ;- Though there may be differences of pinion as to the exact, meaning of the ply in question, the Government 1e. that it may be interpreted to skiing (nit some hope of an amicable ttlernent of the Manitoba school estion on the basis of possible action the Manitoba Government and ,gislature, and the Dominion Govern- ent is most unwilling to take any tion which Can be interpreted as fore - ailing or precluding such a desirable nsumsnation.

In 1891, Canada exported to Great Britain, 11,852 tons of bay, valued at $150,291. In 1894, we exported 175,559 tons, valued at $1,700,409. "Free trade as they have it in Eng- land" would reduce the prices of wheat, and oats in Canada, at the present time„just 15 cents a bushel. Notwithstanding free trade., Queen Victorie can still get credit, at the cor- ner grocery. -Toronto Globe. Yes, the Queen is pretty well fixed. But there are several millions of her subjects in England who can't get cred- it at the corner grocery. The Massey Manufacturing Com- pany, of Toronto, is to put up an ex- tensive addition to its premises and go largely into the manufacture of bicy- cles, the works to employ three or four hundred men. Heretofore bicycles have been imported into Canada in pieces, and put together here. But the Massey Company will make the entire The Port Hope Guide, a Liberal pa- per, contnins a letter from ,a Canadian in England. The writer says' :- "With our friend the parson, we called at some of the cottages in the village of Sundon, and saw the women at work plaiting the straw and making hats. The prices paid are astonishingly small -a penny for a score of yards of plaiting and a halfpenny each for, mak- ing hats being the present prices - making it difficult for a woman to earn more than ninepence per day. This unfortunate state of affairs is caused by foreign competition - principally from % Japethe result of England's free trade policy." Eighteen cents a day, or $1.08 per week, is the rate of wages, in this industry. Will free trade make you rich ? Di DMontague. made, what he doubt- less thought, was a rensarkable strong point in favor of protection when he said that the principle had been en- dorsed in the English 110080 of Com- mons. The "endorsation" turned out to be merely a resolutien against the importation to England of the manu- factures of foreign prisens: This was not quite the same thing as affirming the abstract principle of protection.- Ottawa Free Press. It is precisely the same thing. The free trade theory is that every mon is entitled to buy in the cheapest market and sell in the dearest, without any restriction whatever. The resolu- tion of the British Commons was a dis- tinct reversal of that policy. Individual Opinion. Editor Neor.1-16:ro-nr. DEAR RIR,--1 saw, few issues back, u in yor paper some suggestions as to filling t he vacancy in the County Judge- ship caused by the death of the late Judge Toms. I was very much surprised indeed to find anyone, calling himself a Conser- valve, favor the appointment ef M. C. Caineron, ex -M. P. Let us concede the contention of your correspondent that political opinions should trot bar a Marl from the bench. Then what ? Does this apply only to Reformers ? Are Con ssrvati ves 10 be. considered enelegible to the bench or' promotion, end Reformers to he con- sidered elegible ? Is not this heaping t.00 many coals of fire on the bead of a political opponent this very warm wea- ther ? It is one thing to not punish an un- scrupulous political oponent, but quite another thing to reward him for cor- rupt political acts by a seat on the bench! Surely there is a grim humor in this proposal to place on the bench one whom an eminent Judge, from his seat on the bench, declared to he so tainted from corrupt personal acts that all the waters of Lake Hui on would not was them out. Nor is there any record n Mr. Cameron having tried the expert ment. No, the virginity of the pen( cid watees of the neighboring lake ha not yet been disturbed by any a ttemp. on the part of Mr. Cemeron to rid hims self of the unsavory taint which n . , purge of the trial court declared ad- hered to him with pitch -like Affinity. The author of the suggestion I am referring to does more credit to Isis heart then to his head in espousing the cause of Mr Cameron, and shows a vers ce reditable citristian spirit. But fie won't do. I also have it suggestion to make. That. Junior Judge Doyle he promoted even if we are to have only one County Judge. Judge Doyle has well earned his promotion.

Therefore the trns way to cure nervousness is by purify ing and enriching the blood. Tiri great blood purifier is Hood's Sara. parilla.

I' Is not what we say but what Hood's Sar- saparilla does that tells the story, Mood'Pills act harmoniously with ss- Iscod'aSarsaparilla. &at. thus save a censiderable outlay of public money. I can remember when Judge Brough did the whole work. And he was a man verging on three score and ten, with litigation vastly in excess of whet it is now. If Judge Brough, an old and physically worn out man, could do the greater amount of work, surely a vigorous and comparatively young auto, such as Judge Doyle is, can do the lesser amount of work. If it be found that he cannot there is no doubt thetproper representations to the Pro- vincial Government would produce a change in the unit of population up- on which the number of Judges in a county is at present based. 1 might say that Judges should be appointed justly and equitably. As the law stands Huron county is entitled to but one Judge. It would be grossly inequitable and an evasion of the law to appoint a Senior Judge and leave Judge Doyle where he is. Inequitable because Judge Dyle is entitled to the Senior Judgship; an evasion of the law because the law at present. fixes that counties with the population Huron has are entitled to only county JildFe. The fountain of Justice should avoid even the appearance of injustice. The appointment of Mr. Cameron or of any one else over the Junior Judge in (leder to evade the operation of the ex- plicit law of the land would have More than the )Ippertrance of injustice ; it would he an overt act of injustice, and possibly an illegal act, as well as au unjust one. The appointing powers ere some- times blamed for their acts where they have acted according to their light, public opinion hying silent. My only reason, then, for expressing my views is that to some extent -I believe to a terse extent ---I am echoing public! opinion. Yours INDIVIDUAL 'OPINION.

FINED. -A correspondent to the New Era froHohnesville bewails the .fact that several patrons of the cheese factory have been fined for selling milk below the standard. The Govern- ment Inspector visited the factory and found that, everything was not just, as it should be as far as the quality of milk was concerned. As I understand the cese, and I know something of it, the Holmesville correspondent is very unfair to the Inspector and the factory. The object of having a factory is to make money for the patrons, not to have one patron rob another as the absve correspondent insinuates. This is the reason why the milk must pass a certain test and when the liquid does not stand the test it has long since been determined that there is some - wrong. The law is quite plain aed when a case is proven a Magtstrate has no option hut to impose a fine, or in default to send the guilty party Is; jail. Patrons cannot be fined for supplying milk as drawn from the cows, but or "DETERIORATED MILE." If the olmesville correspondent would read be "Act to provide against frauds in he supplying of milk," be will have , ess to say about milk below the (standard and rather commend than denounce the managers of the cheese factory.

A stack of straw had been cut through, and at the bottom the emaciated body of a pig, still alive, was found Thrash - in g had been going on during the third week in January, and the pig had evidently at that time crawled under a small quantity of straw, and ultimately the stark was erected over it. Its position was nine feeNrom the nearest outside of the stack'. There- fore, for 14 weeks it had been buried without food or water, and with only as much air as could be obtained through nine feet of the straw stack. It was merely skin and bone when fotmd, but by carefully feeding it with small quantities of warns milk, it is new making favourable progress to- ulards recovery. News Notes.
