WHO PAYS THE DUTY?
The effect of a Protective duty on
the price of a commodity, and to what
extent this duty is paid by the domes-
tic consumer or the foreign producer,
is the most difficult point to compre-
bend of all the phases of the tariff
question, for the simple reason that
there can be no absolute rule for de-
termining it; so much depends upon
the condition of trade and production,
and these vary in different localities
and at different times. This phase of
as the question can be resolved into three
conditions. The first, that in which
the duty is paid by the consumer. The
second, that in which the duty is paid
by both producer and consumer in
various proportions. Third, that in
which the duty is paid entirely by the
foreign producer.
First—When a duty is first placed
upon an article, the selling price is in-
creased by the amount of the duty and
the duty is paid by the consumer. In
this case the foreigner controls the
market as effectively, as if there were
no duty, until home production creates
a .competition.
Second— If home production is
stimulated by the profit which the duty
induces, competition steps in and the
price declines as far below the cost of
the foreign article as the conditions of
labor and capital will permit. In this
case the duty is shared by both pro-
dgcer and consumer in different pro-
portions as conditions vary.
Third --When the home production
eXceeds the foreign importation, corn -
petition between domestic and foreign
producer will become so sharp that the
price will decline more and more as
1.1 the home product is cheapened by im-
ir proved and more economical processes
of production. As soon as the domes-
tic price is equal to that of the foreign
article without the duty, then the fore-
igner pays the entire duty, and the
!come trade and not the foreign fixes
the price of the commodity and con-
trols the market. By this process the
commodities are cheapened to the con-
sumer by means of a Protective tariff,
and the country is made richer by the
development of her resources, which
would not otherwise be realized for a
long time, if ever.

Now • the question arises ~where and;
how 41they got so much; 'tnon, ey to
spend. Besides these alleged expends.
tures, they have enornw sly increased
their savings and investments, as wit'
Hess the reports of the chartered banks,
savings banks and insurance eoteppanr
ies. A system that enables a people to
bindle tns,pey like that 'has certaidly
some virtues. They never could b,ave
done it under Free Trade. Oomp re
that sort of thing with the years when
Sir Richard was wailing in each of his
budget speeches, and Mr. Blake said
our trade fell off because the people
were too poor to buy.
LAURIER IN QUEBEC AND ON-
TARIO.
Last week Mr. Laurier opened his
Ontario campaign at Morrisburg. He
declared that he was,speaking precisely
in Ontario as he had in Quebec. He
may not have said anything at Morris -
burg that he had not previously said
in Quebec. But, taking Mr. Taste's
paper for authority, he has said some-
thing in Quebec which he did not say
in Ontario. On Sept. 7, 1895, Le Culti-
vateur, Mr. Tarte's paper, in a report
of a speech delivered by Mr. Laurier,
contained this paragraph :
"The Liberal chief reiterated, amidst
indescribable enthusiasm, his solemn
engagement to re-establish the Catho-
lic schools on his arrival in power. The
Conservatives were as enthusiastic as
the Liberals, and applauded a rout -
ranee."
The Grit press will be a long time in
realizing that Mr,Laurier has said some-
thing in Quebec which he has not said
in Ontario.
EFFECTS OF PREE TRADE.
."A ruined Hertfordshire farmer"
writes to the London Daily Telegraph :
"The only remedy for theBritish corn
grower is a slight protection on corn.
5s. per quarter duty would not raise the
price of a, 41b. loaf quite id., and I
think would just turn the scale so that
we could live. Rents have been re-
duced amazingly. I know a farm in
Wiltshire, 800 acres, that used to be
rented at £840 per annum; now the
same farm is rented at £301. But,
according to the present, prices of corn,
rent is out of the question altogether."
This man had had experience of the
effects of free trade on agriculture and
knew what he was talking about.
Therein he differs from the Canadian
Liberals, who recommend "free trade
as it is in England," purely as a matter
of theory or political expediency.
"British free trade" is merely a plank
upon which Mr. Laurier would like to
walk into power, and a very poor one
at that, for in face of the present situa-
tion of British agriculture, Canadian
farmers Qare not likely to be taken in
quite so easily.
7HE NATION A FAMILY.
The family circle is a charmed circle.
Home and hearthstone are sacred
Words. Unity and exclusiveness,
mutual aid and mutual defence are un-
iyersally recognized safeguards of the
fancily. The nation is a great family,
entitled to all great family privileges,
and should guard her interests sacredly.
Twenty-nine centuries ago Solomn
wisely said : "In all labor there is
profit," and as a family must labor and
earn more than it expends, or it will
cease to thrive, so must a nation pro-
duce more than it consumes, or it will
decline in power and become extinct.
A family has the right to protect itself
against poverty by laboring to provide
for its own necessities, and a nation
has the right to prohibit the free im-
portation and sale of cheaply -made
foreign merchandise, the result of
which is to force her own citizens into
idleness and poverty. To restrict
foreign commerce is as much a national
right as is exclusiveness afamily right.
No fancily need be degraded by admit-
ting improper persons to its circle, and
no nation need be degraded by foster-
ing pauper labor and degraded labor
systems. The only safeguard is the
enactment and enforcement of wise
industrial laws. It would be the
essence of self -debasement to open our
doors to free foreiarn trade and thereby
invite idleness, poverty and want.
CURRENT TOPICS.
It is said that Mr. D. McGillicuddy,
of the Goderich Signal, is an applicant
for the Registrarship of Huron. If
political service and party exigency is
to he considered he should he weft to
the fore in the race.
West Huron Reformers will meet in
convention at Dungannon on Friday,
October 25th, to either place a candi-
date in the field or give a united support
to Patron candidate Forrester. The
removal of Mr. M. G. Cameron to
Goderich, a son of Mr. M. C. Cameron,
may have a political meaning.
The return of Sir Oliver Mowat' has
brought from our esteemed town con-
temporary the suggestion that souse
attention he given the Stavely estate
money, long since promised. Since
Sir Oliver will not likely see the re-
minder, a good idea would be for the
Mayor to write the distinguished states-
man a personal letter urging itrrmediate
action.
Blake.
REMOVED.—Mr. R. B. Ross, who for
several years has taught our school
with much success and aeeeptance to
the people generally, and who was
greatly respected by our people, left
last week with his family, for Clinton,
where he intends residing for a time,
and where he will pursue his studies at
the Collegiate Institute. Mr. Rosa and
his amiable wife will be much missed
here, and the good wishes of many will
go with them to their new home.

Monday, in the death of Mr. Thomas
Hunter, one of its oldest,m\ost highly
respected and best known residents.
Deceased carne to the towns! ip nearly
forty years ago, and by his industry
and ability, had acquired a good share
of this world's goods. He was a man
of unboubted integrity ; straightfor-
ward and manly in all his dealings,
and in his death the county has lost a
good citizen. He.was for many years'
the able and popular President of the
Kinloss Branch Agricultural Society,
and in the early days of that now
flourishing society, no one worked
harder to promote its interests than
Mr. Hunter. Deceased had reached
the ripe old age of 83 years and 3
months, and bis funeral to the Kinloss
cemetery on Wednesday last was very
largely attended.
McKillop.
LOCALS.—The mangold crop, which

NoTES.—Messrs. S. Merrill, J. Jervis
and W. Tebbutt, who have been on a
prospecting tour in Michigan, returned
on Monday last. They have decided to
settle in Canada. They say they real-
ly are disgusted at the manner in
whiph the people break the Sabbath.—
We learn that Mrs. S. Phipps received
a telegram on Monday from the Lon-
don Asylum that her husband there is
dangerously ill. Some of the family
are to leave this (Tuesday) horning for
that city.—Rev. W. W. Andrews, who
has heen toComheron business,returned
on Saturday last.—We regret to learn
that Mrs. J. Holmes is not improving

reported to be gradually "sinking"—
Mr. George Huller has hired with Mr.
T. C. Pickard for a year.—Mr, W.
Stanley, who has been on a furlough
in Dakota, returned on Saturday. He
says the farmers out there are favor-
ed with good crops.—The Grand Trunk
Railway is rather severe on the feath-
ered ti ibe here. One of the trains ran
through a flock of turkeys one day

Brussels.
Mrs. Sarah Lee, an eccentric lady of
about 70 years, served the Reeve with a
writ on Monday claiming damages of
$10,000 for slander said to be perpetrat-
upou her by the town bell, the town
band, and the Salvation Army. The
Council asked a month to consider the
matter but Mrs. Lee was obdurate and
says she has waited long enough but
would yet accept $2,000 in settlement
if made forthwith. In the writ Sir
John A. Macdonald, deceased, is given
as the acting party. Mrs. Lee's com-
plaint is that the hell in St. John's
church each Sabbath day rings out
"Sarah Lee go to church;" the town hell
echoes "$5,000, $5,000, $5,000," and the
hand impiously plays "God save Sarah
Lee." To satisfy the plaintiff, a certifi-
cate has been furnished her that the
"slandering" hell will be removed from
thoHall and a new one substituted guar-
anteed to be absolutely freefrom vicious
practices. She considers herself shab-
bily treated by people counselling her
to seek a home in the House of Refuge
when the town owes her $10,000. In
her recent attendance at Court to inter
view Judge Doyle and her visit to the
Council onday evening she has come
to the conclusion that the knights of
old who recognized the presence and
granted the slightest request of ladies
must have all died.—Post,

Mr. Geo. Hill has so far recovered
as to be able to walkabroad.

Purified Blood
Saved an operation in •the following
ease. Hood's Sarsaparilla cures when
all others fail. It make pure blood.
"A year ago my father, William Thomp.
eon, was taken suddenly 111 with inflam-
mation of the bladder. He suffered a great
deal and was very low for some time. Al
last the doctor said he would not get well
unless an operation was performed. At
this time we read about Hood's Sarsapa-
rilia and decided to try it. Before he used
half a bottle his appetite had come back
to him, whereas before he could eat but
little. When he had taken three bottles
of the medicine he was as well as ever."

subject, success in teaching, and delivered
a splendid address which was listened to
with attention and was highly appreciated;
Inspector Tom took up book-keeping,
dealing with the paper set at the last pub-
lic school leaving examination. Mr. Tom
said that the pupils must have the practi-
cal work, the sets should be short, it is a
mistake to have them too long; pupils
should be given exercises in ruling the dif-
ferent books used. The subject of book-
keeping was further discussed by Mesar°.
Holman, Delgaty, Tom and Sheppard.
On Friday J. A. Gregory discussed his
method of teaching physiology, dealing
with circulation, and illustrating his meth-
od with blackboard drawings. This lesson
proved very interesting' and instructive,
and was father discussed by Messrs. Delga-
ty, Halls, Sheppard and others.
Mr. Delgaty discussed his motion in fa-
vor of holding only one session of the In-
stitute yearly. Ur. Delgaty did not press
the matter very strongly, but simply left
it for the teachers present to decide, S. P.
Halls seconded Mr. Delgaty's motion and
spoke in favor of its adoption. The ques-
tion was ably discussed by Messrs. Boyd,
Brown, Sheppard, Strang, Weatherhead,
Tom and Baird,
Mr Boyd, seconded by Mr Brown, moved
in amendment that tho Institute uold two
meetings yearly, and that Fridays and
Saturdays be the days selected fur such
meetings. The amendment was adopted
unanimouely.
The next order of business was a litera-
ture lesson by Mise Charles, B. A. The
lesson selected was "The Forced Recruit at
Solferino," one of the Entrance selections
for 1896. Mies Unties' method of teach.
ing the lesson was greatly appreciated by the
teacners- Messrs, Brown, Tom and Baird
highly complimented Miss Charles on the
excellent address presented.
Roll call showed eighty teachers in at -
ten dance.
The next paper taken up was the public
school leaving literature paper for 1895 ex-
amination. Mr Strang dealt with this sub-
ject in his usual able manner to the satis-
faction of all. Mr Strang urged the teach -
ere not to take too mnoh for granted but be
eure that pupils understood the full mean-
ing of the lessons.
Theelection of officers resulted as fol-
lows: President, J- S. Delgaty, Centralia;
vice-president, Miss Charles, B. A., God-
erioh; sec-treas., G. W. Holman, Muron-
dale; executive committee, G. M. Kilty,
Summerhill; R. E. Brown, Luoknow; Geo.

BRING THE FARM AND FACTORY
AS CLOSE TOOIIITHER AS
POSSIBLE.
If we buy a manufactured article in a
foreign market, we not only send away
the raw material of which it is made
but also other products to pay for the
making of it. With freights, insur-
ance, commissions and waste, the raw
materials cost much more abroad than
at home. Hogs and cattle, wheat, but-
ter and cheese, when consumed in a
distant land, are much more costly
than at the place of production. Hence,
when we buy back the manufactured
article, the hogs and cattle, wheat,
butter and cheese, having gone into,.•)
the value of the goods, labor must pay
the cost of transportation both ways.
How can the wage -worker or farmer
fail to smart under such a system ?
How unnatural, therefore, that the
farms should be on one side of the
globe and the factories on the other
How,,absurd to send raw material half
around the world only to bring it back
again 1 Protection brings the farm
and the factory as close together as pos-
sible.
