GRIT BOASTING.
There is a great blowing of horns and
beating of drums going on just now
among the Grits in Huron because of
the selection and acceptance of Mr.
Cameron as a candidate at the next
election. The jubilation is extraordin-
ary .and enexplicable. One journal de-
clares his popularity is most relnark-
able inasmuch as during the 28 , e, .1 of
his public life at any convention called
or the purpose of nominating a liber-
al candidate no name was ever men-
tioned save his own, another declares
his nomination is an honor to the con-
stituency, still another that we ought
to be proud and so on through the
whole gamut of praise and admiration.
Happily this extravagance is caeflned
to our own county, but what is it that
affects the sight of so many when re-
garding public men or public affairs? Is
it vanity, is it greed of office, that so
'dims their vision ; for surely in cases
like this, if Conservatives see clearly,
Gtits are stone blind. Are the princi-
ples which underlie political morality
different from and contrary to the
princi les which underlie social moral-
ity? Is the command "do right" not as
imperatively incumbent upon a politi-
cian as upon a church member P Is a
man an honorable man who by him-
self or through the agency of others
violates, and almost glories that he
violates the statute laws of bis country ?
Should a community be proud of one
whose words and deeds have never
riven above the tnost common place
mediocrity and often sink below the
level of food sense and good feeling ?
How can a free and unbiased expres-
sion of public opinion he brought about
by men or party, whose purpose to
erect a monument to Honore Mercier,
who fraternally embrace the strong -
smelling Tarte and who have not a
single word of condemnation for the
arch corruptionisks of Ii`ingston
not !that man Other aw"rotal
br a .cheat, Who bad+ its gather,

thistloe>r Is he not a navy a fool or a
cheat who toils he that a; publte n an
whose conduct or reputation bias been
tcored by public opimou, or hacked by
he sword of pistico, will he ati ovna-
meet to publte life or a benefit ,to Ilia,,
country ? These are questions which
demand an answer, and. we 'cornn.Ionc1.
them to the earnest consicleratipn of
every intelligent,eleotor.
According to the reeerd,. Mr,, Owner -
on has been 28 years in public life,
seventeen of these he spent as a mem.
bei of the House Of Couunous of (lana -
da, Glad itR niay be that in a close riding
such as West Huron is, he may again
have the honor and oppo rtu n ities of that
distinction, But in this whole period,
—and the latter half witnessed the very
prime of his life--whereshall we find one
single great measure devised or intro-
duced or even suppported by him for
the substantial advancerneet or devel-
opment of our country!? When has he
spoken the first kindly words of gentle
peace, to Booth prejudice, and promote
that harmony so desirable and so ne-
cess>,ry among the different races, and
opposing creeds in our wide Dominion?
Where shall we discover one single in-
stance of lits earnest desire to elevate
the stands d et political purity, to raise
the tone of public discussions, and as
much as in him lay to soften those as-
perities so apt to be engender-
ed in the sharp conflicts of
public life ? In short, of this
gentleman s parliamentary career it
may be truly said it has been of no use
to hiinself or any one else. All his
labor of body, worry of mind, and ex-
penditure of money have brought him
no enduring fame, and his country no
practical advantage.
FREE TRADE COMBINES.
The Grits would have us believe
that combines and trusts are only
known in protected countries. This is
another of the Grit "catch cries" in
which there is positively no truth. The
fact is that the greatest combines and
trusts of the last ten years have taken
place in free trade England. Among
these we may mention the following :—
A galvanized iron combine that suc-
ceeded in putting up the prices from 5
to 10 per cent. per ton.
A waggon axle trust which put up
the price 20 per cent.
A salt trust which not only "put up
the prices in England, but tried to
establish a branch in the United States.
A coal combine which suceeded in
materially advancing the price of that
commodity tor more than a year.
A steel rail exportation trust which
included not only the steel rail indus-
tries of England, but those of Germany
and Belgium as well. England was to
get 60 per cent, of the exportation,�
Germany 27 per cent. and Belgium 7
per cent.
In this connection may be mentioned
the most wealthy combine in the
world, namely, the Standard Oil Com-
pany, which though it operates in the
United States the material it deals with
was always on the free list:
WHAT THE COUNTRY WANTS.
A duty only upon those articles
which we could dispense with, known
as luxuries, and upon those which we
use more than we produce.
All duty removed from tea, coffee,
and other articles of universal use not
produced hy ourselves,
Encouragement to home products,
employment to Labor at living wages,
and development of homes resources.
CURRENT TOPICS.
Free Trade was the father of slave
labor.
Under efficient protection the fore-
igner pays the duty.
The freedom of free trade is liberty
to become enslaved.
Protection benefits the States by giv-
ing employment to the people.
Home production conyerts the tariff
into a tax on our foreign rivals.
Protection tends to elevate all labor
to equality with the highest in the
world.
Whatever tends to diminish the
number of artificers discourages agri-
culture.
Free Traders say we must not at-
tempt labors in which other nations
excel.
On being examined last fall before
the British Royal Commission on Ag-
riculture one of the witnesses said : "If
you own land in England and have a
grudge against a roan, die and leave
him a farm."
Referring to Mr. Tarte at the time
of the McGreevy trial the Globe says :
"While plunging his knife ;nto his
benefactor, Thos. McGfeevy, he
had suppressed or caused to be sup-
pressed, the whole of the facts iniplicat,-
m himself." This is the man whom the
Globe now defends as one of the leaders
of the "Pi rist" party.
By the death of Mr. Simard, M. P.
for Charlevoix, a sixth seat in the Do-
minion House of Commons becomes
vacant. Cardwell, West Huron, Mont-
real Centre, Jacques Cartier, North On-
tario, and Charlevoix—all sir were for-
merly represented hy Conservatives,
and there is no good reason for the be-
lief that any of them have degenerated.
Mitchell Advocate :—"We are credit-
ably informed tliat Mr. Bernard O'-
Connell, McKillop, is almost euro to
Set the appointment of Registrar for
outh Huron. We will rejoice if it turns
out so. He has well earned the posi-
tion, and is in every way qualified to
fill it." How about `town clerk Coate,
of Clinton,x-Warden Griffin, Bishop,
4
Gibson, M. . Cameron, McGillicuddy
end a host of others? Mr. O'Connell
is virtually not in the fight.

The first ' renedy suggested as a
means of relieving the depressed con-
dition of Agriculture by the Royal
Commission on Agriculture for the
County of Cumberland, England, in
their report presented to both Houses
of the British Parliament, at its last
session is worded as follows : "The
taxation of foreign manufactured
articles until the system of Free Trade
is adopted by foreign countries."
In his advocacy of Free Trade Mr.
Laurier reminds us of the young gen-
tleman getting measured for pantaloons
when a tight fit was the fashion.
"Make 'em tight," said he, to the tailor,
"very tight, if I can get into them I
don't want them." He wants Free
Trade, anything else is stupid ; every-
body is a fool or a knave who is not in
'favor of it, and then he admits that
Free Trade is a sheer impossibility.
It is announced that during the last
financial year the Intercolonial earned
enough to pay all expenses of oper-
ating. This is the third year under
Mr. Haggart's management that the
government railway has been cool -
ducted practically without a deficit—a
thing never done before by any other
minister of railways, either Grit er
Conservative. But all the same the
Grit papers will' continue to call Mr.
Haggett and the other members of the
government third, fifth or tenth rate
men?
The Galt Reformer expresses the
opinion that the Grits will win West
Huron on account of the Government's
policy on the Manitoba School ques-
tion. Such an opinion is certainly not
well founded. Conservative electors
are not likely to vote for Laurier and
his party and a wobbling policy on the
school question. As to the vexed
school question, by supporting Laurier
the electors would simply be biting off
their nose to spite their face—not a very
intelligent mode of reasoning.
In summarizing the results of Mr.
Laurier's tour in Ontario the Victoria
colonist is kind enough to express it-
self as follows regarding his trade
policy :—"On the trade question Mr.
Laurier is more at sea than ever. . He
is very far indeed from being an out-
and-out free-trader, but little is said
by him about free trade as they have
it in Englaud. The truth seems to be
that Mr. Laurier is not sq ranch atrim-
mer ,as he, is a dodger, and those whose
business it is to uphold the dodger find
the task neither easy nor pleasant."
This is almost as complimentary as the
character that Mr. Tarte gavehim
when he said :—"His polished manners,
his astuteness, a certain ability in con-
cealing his principles—not far removed
from hypocrisy --have won for him his
popularity in the country.
THE NEWS -RECORD cannot agree
with the Exeter Advocate when that
paper says country papers in politics
follow the lead of the great city dailies
and that they are the source from
which our common inspiration is
drawn. We bold that the city paper
is not in a position' to lead opinion of
any kind in the field of a local
paper. In fact in the great ma-
jority of cases the local press mould
public opinion and the utterances of
the city papers. Being right on the
spot and competent to judge, it would
bo folly to expect or allow inspiration
to be drawn or "follow the lead" of
papers edited hundreds of miles away,
the writers on which do not know any
more of the local political situation
than they do of the man in the moon.
The deficit is no argtfinent against
the Conservative Government at Ot-
tawa, says an exchange. A deficit may
be caused either by under taxation or
over expenditure. If the difference
between income and outlay is due to
the Government's taking too little from
the people, not to its spending too
much, then the Grits ought to give
praise rather than blame to the admin-
istration at Ottawa. A deficit may be
a virtue rather than a fault in a Gov-
ernment. An unwillingness to burden
the people with taxes is at least an
amiable weakness. An inability to
economize is a crime which must be
proved before a government can be
condemned because of a deficit. Un -
leas the Grits can convict the Dominion
Government of extravagance a deficit
caused by a reduction in duties will be
of no political service to the Opposi-
tion.

Mr. Jacob Wilcox ' of St. Thomas,
Ontario, is one of the best known men
in that vicinity. 13e is now, be says,
an old man, but Food's. Sarsaparilla
has made Win feel young again.
"About a year ago. l: had q very severe
attack of the grip, which resulted in my
not having a well day for several xnonthe
afterwards. I was completely run down
and my system was in a
Terrible Condition.
I lost flesh and became depressed
in spirits. Finally a friend who had been
benefited by Hood's Sarsaparilla advised
me to try it and I did so. I continued tak-
ing it until I used twelve bottles and
today 1 can honestly say Hood's Sarsa-
parilla has restored me to my former
health." JAcon WILCox, St. Thomas,

POLITICAL.—The Grits must be in
sore straits when they choose an out-
spoken annexationist like D. McGilli-
cuddy as the president for the Riding.
Thank God the Tories elect none but
loyal men to office in this Riding, men
who are not ashamed to be called "old
flag" men. By the way, would this not
be an opportune lime to call a conven-
tion of the Conservatives and select
the next M. P. for the Riding? There
are a number of local men available
whose nomination means certain elec-
tion. The Tories are not shipwrecked
yet and they will be found as strong
and united as ever they were. The
candidacy of M. C. C. is not as popular'
• as the Grit press would lead one to be-
lieve.
BRIEFS.—A number of our citizens
are invited to a wedding at the r•es:-
•dence of David Scott, E. Wawanosh,
this everting (Tuesday), when his eldest
daughter is to be united in marriage to
a Mr. Scott of West Wawanosh. Rev.
Mr. Hall is to officiate.—The Misses
Elliot, of Milton, and the Misses Elliot.
of Hagersville, are visiting friends here
this week. They c,anie to attend the
nuptials of their cousin, Miss•Scott.
Part of the machinery for the electric
light plant has arrived and shortly we
will be independent of the ruuon or
coal oil "to light, us through the snow",
or mud as the case may be.
Holmesville.
ENTERTAINMENT.—Zhe Royal Tenip-
lars will give an entertainment in their
hall on Tuesday evening next, Nov. 19.
The chief feature of the programme will
he that of Mr. Richard C. Pearce. the
celebrated imitator and ventriloquist.
Mr. Pearce's entertainments are very
highly spoken of wherever given and
are of an unusally high order. He
has strong ventriloquial powers, talk-
ing with tura inary persons anywhere
in the immediate surroundings. Be-
sides this con.-iderable local talent will
be utilized and a good time may be ex-
pected.
ITEMS.—The trustees of the school
have engaged Mr. C. Fisher, of Ben -
miller, as teacher for next year. Mr.
Fisher comes highly recommended as a
teacher and we predict for him success
here.—Mr. W. Stanley has rented the
farm of Mr. W. Murch for a term of
years. Rey. G. Andrews has re -rented
fr•omMr.Stanley a parcel of ground near
the parsonage. Mr. E. M. Johnson, we
understand, has rented the house from
Mr. Murch.—On Sunday last Mr. A. J.

School has been closed for the season.
There was it large attendance this
summer. We hope to see a Bible Clase
arranged for the winter.—Foot hall is
the favorite game with the school
boys.—Partridges will be quite numer-
ous in this vicinity in a few years as
they are now nently all protected by
trespass notices. This is as it should
be. In a few seasons more without
some protection they would have
become extinct.—Mr. Joshua Hill
has the interior of his cheese
factory almost completed. The farm-
ers should all make up their minds
to become patrons of this fac-
tory for next season as cheese pays
much better than butter. Mr. Hill has
shown much enterprise in building a
factory on his own responsibility and
should receive every encouragement
in hie efforts to meet the wants and
better the condition of the people of
this vicinity.—A number of the mem-
bers of L. O. L. No. 928 celebrated the
5th with the brethren of No. 710, Clin-
ton.—Some buyers are offering very
low prices for cattle. They put us in
mind of the men who went up nor•i:h
last summer (when there was very
little pasture) enquiring for farmers
who had cattle to give away.—The
young people are practising dialogues
and musical selections for the Sunday
School entertainment which is to take
place in a few weeks. Look out for
something good.
