WHAT FREE T1?ADE WOULD DO.
The Berlin News refers to what must
happen to that prosperpus manufactur-
ing town were Sir Richard Cartwright's
free trade policy adopted by the peo-
ple of the Dominion. The application
would be equally forcible up here in
Huron, particularly to the industries
in Clinton, Seaforth, Wingham and
Goderich. In the latter town there is
just now a worthy spirit of go-ahead
enterprise being manifested by a work-
ing committee of seven and the citizens
of the county town. The town itself
assisted the establishing of the organ
factory, which is now said to be on
good footing and employs a large num-
ber of mechanics. The bicyile factory
with a capital of $100,000, has been
erected and is about ready for business,
which will employ a large number of
hands. A large amount of capital has
been subscribed and a knitting com-
pany formed ; the ground has been pur-
chased and the factory will he running
in due time. The enterprise of the peo-
ple of Goderich in this way means a
capital investment of a very large
amount of money. In' the other towns
we have named large slims are at stake,
the town of Winghain, as a corpora-
tion we believe, being interested. And
what would happen to Berlin in the
event of the adoption of Sir Richard's
free trade fad would happen in Huron.
These factories would soon dwindle to
a mere shadow, houses would become
tenantless, and the business and farm-
ing r:ommunities would suffer for want
of purchasers. Here is what the News
says :
"Instead of a population of nearly
nine thousand in Berlin, we would soon
have less than five, for the men who
now help to manufacture goods for the
Canadian market will have to go to
the States to make furniture, shirts,
gloves, brushes, hoots and shoes,
pianos and organs, buttons and other
things which ,now give work to our
people. When these factory people
have to go our building opera-
tions will also cease, and the four
or five hundred bricklayers, ma -
&ins, tenders, carpenters, painters,
plumbers, etc., who are now employed,
would also have to leaye for some coun-
try where working people are properly
protected. A calamity worse than a
Chicago fire would fall on Berlin if free.,
trade were adopted. The loss from a
big fire may he restored when people
have good business prospects ahetgl,
but the loss from a change of tariffs
and destruction of our factories will be
permanent. Let every man, wbmnn
and child even, iu Berlin pray earnest-
ly that such a sad fate may never be-
fall us."
The average yearly tonnage of the
coasting trade of Canada for the three
years, from 1876 to 1870, was 10,596,038
torts. The average for three years
ending 1894, was 25,416,673 tons, indi-
cating under the National;¢trey the

Free Trade denounces its wretched
victims as surplus population.
It is easy to ruin in a year industries
built up in a generation.
The foreign market buys by the
bushel, the home market by the ton.
Where manufactures flourish, land
and its products are most valuable.
The preservation of freedom depends
upon divetsitication of employments.
The rewards of labor increase as oc-
cupations become diversified.
The power of creating wealth is
more valuable than wealth itself.
Where all must shovel and hoe,
wages must be low.
The foreign food market is precar-
ious, the home market never fails.
Famine exports food, nakedness ex-
ports clothing, idleness exports labor.
Protection by sustaining wages here
elevate§ labor everywhere. -
Every man is a consumer to the
whole extent of his production.
India grows co . , nd England
weaves it, yet e Hidoo •an barely
purchase cloth to clothe his 1. ins.
Lord Brougham once said "England
should destroy foreign manufactures
in their cradle."
The man who finds a purchaser for
his own labor at once buys the labor
of other men.
Free Trade pills are often nicely
coated with "revenue reform"—don't-
swallow them.
Foreigners using our markets to sell
goods we can produce ourselves should
pay their share of our taxes.
Foreign indu- '-. wined by a
nation in times of peace frequently
sustains its foes in times of war.
The more a nation can produce, the
less it needs to produce, and the more
it is able to produce.
The Southern States with slave labor
were all free traders; with free labor
they are rapidly becoming protection-
ists.
, In 1878, it took three quarters of a
ton of a farmer's hest beef to pay for
his buggy. To -day half a ton will do
it nicely.
It is proximity to the cotton mill
that makes the. naturally sterile soil of
Massachusetts more valuable than the
rich cotton lands of the West.
That the bye -elections will all be held
on the same date is a Grit proposition,
supported by those who "know -it -all -I -
told -you -so" people.
The Cabinet at Ottawa has not yet
been reorganized, and the Globe and
its followers have ceased to ask a
happy and contented people, "Has the
National Policy made you rich ?"
When we buy a finished article from
England cheap, it is because we first
sold our flour, beef, pork, etc., used in
its construction, cheaper. We practic-
ally buy back our own products.
It is estimated, that owing to in-
creased facilities and competing routes,
panadian wheat can he marketed to -
arty on an average, for at least 10 cents
per bushel less than it could fifteen
years ago.
Some papers of the Grit persuasion do
not seem to know what "efficient pro-
tection" means. And ,one. might as
well endeavor to make a sill' purse
from a ,sows ear as to advance, ji'ny
argumet that do not favor the,,grit
party. Under effiient protection' ,he
foreigner pays the duty, and branding
the statement as a falsehood will not
alter the fact.

Turkey's sultan has promised re
forms; but the sultan is much the sane
kind of a Reforciter as many Canadian
Giros who boar OP ea,ue Haute; his
promises of reform, are utade without
any thought of fulfilment.
Thr Grits are anxious to know when
the Conservatives of West Huron will
place a candidate in the field. There
need be no undue worry over the
'natter, for a candidate will be placed
in the field 'within't very short time.
Even then the Opposition will not be
satisfied.
Taking all the railways in England
and Wales, the ayeritge cost of con-
struction per mile has been $269,851.
In the United States the average cost
per mile bas been $61,409. In Canada
the average cost per mile has been
$58,813.
English statesmen take the consump-
tion of tea and sugar as a guage of the
prosperity of the people. In 1878, the
people of Canada consumed less than
2i pounds of tea, per head. Last year
they consumed over 4 pounds per head.
In 1878, they consumed 26 pounds per
head of sugur, last year they consumed
61 pounds per head.
When the Grits were in power, in
1878, they required 410 employes to
manage every 100 miles of the Inter -
colonial Railway. Last year, under
Hon. Mr. I-laggart's management,
though there 'were more than twice as
many passen kers carried and over two
and one-half times more freight hand-
led, it only required 33`2 employe for
every 10miles. This does not look
like "Tory extravagance."
Re despatches from Ottawa. Ar-
rangements have been made with a
special correspondent of the Toronto
Globe and Montreal Witness, a first
cousin of the Ottawa liar, to forward
the latest reports concerning the dis-
sensions in the Cabinet alleged to be so
frequent just now, and here is the
first instalment of the gentleman's
work :—"After the dreadful conflict in
the Council chamber, a portion of
which was given in the Toronto Tele-
gram of last Friday, the whole city
became wild with excitement, SirlMac-
kenzie was car•icied hoine on a stretcher,
a pitiful sight, and his groans were
heart-rending. Dr. Montague is in the
Protestant Hospital with two surgeons
operating with litste hopes of saving
their patient. John Haggart's face is
wrapped in court plaster and his head
in a broad bandage. Sir Hibbert Tup-
per has a fearful scalp wound •from
Ouirnet's axe, and his right arm is
broken. An inquest will be held on
the remains of Sir Adolphe Caron, and
the body of Clarke Wallace has been
sent to the undertakers tor embalment
before it is conveyed to the family
burying ground in West York. The
Governor-General is disgusted and en-
raged. He has sent for Mr. Laurier, a
strong liberal government formed, an
immediate dissolution of Parliament
and appeal to the country." This
we fancy will show just where
the strength of the correspondent lies,
and we hope in a short time to give all
the details of a full grown crisis with
the necessary surroundings of plot,
intrigue, and thrilling treachery. That
Is to say, if nothing happens to the wily
correspondent in the meantime, for his
family are, we believe, subject to very
serious accidents. Baron Munchausen,
his great grandfather,did not die quiet-
ly in his bed. the fat old Knight of
Gadshill, a famous ancester, had a
`miserable ending, and we are told by
tuestionable authors that a very
se. Iden and serious blow fell upon the
f ender of the family, the celebrated
nanias. Oh, no ! his surname wasn't
Cameron.
There are some queer people in Que-
bec. In 1854 a township was formed
by name Wakefield and Low. A
Council was elected each year, and the
reeve represented the municipality in
th,. County Council up to the year '78,
when Wakefield and Low were made
two distinct townships. Upon this
division the township of Low refused
to pay any longer the tax levied by the
County Council, although only the
trifling matter of one mill on the
dollar. In 1880 action was taken
against the township and judgment
secured by the County Council, but
only partially obeyed. Three years
later another similarudgrnent was
secured ; three months later the rate-
payers abolished the Township Council.
The County Council instructed the
sheriff to levy en the ratepayers direct
for the judgment and costs, lint not a
ratepayer paid a cent of the taxation
thus imposed, and notices were posted
to the effect that if the tax was not
paid within fifteen days their effects
would he seized. It was then that
hostilities began, the bailiffs sent to
perform the work being assaulted and
their notices torn to pieces each time
they appeared. In 1891 the corpora-
tion was reorganized, and it was agreed
to pay the judgment, a resolution to
that effect being passed, but the Town-
ship Council again dissolved within
three months, and refused to meet its
obligations. Since that time the town-
ship has been altogether without muni-
cipal government,. Lieut -Col. M. Ayl-
mer, D. A. G., formerly of London and
well known in Huron, has been des-
patched with 112 men and officers of
the fourth military district, armed; and
are now on the scene and will force the
payment of taxes. These Frenc
have decided that they had better pa
and are paying. With a French leader
whose shining countenance melts the
hearts of his cons atriots, it does seem
peculiar that his followers follow Laur-
ier's advice about taking up his
musket on the banks of the Saskatcho-
to shoot down Canadian volunteers.
But Laurier will be under the barn
when the shooting takes place, These
Frenchmen be queer fellows. They
can wag their tongue ata" distance, but
when it comes to straight business they
either Wilt or disappear. And Laurier
is as big a "jack in the box" as any of
them.

At a meeting of the Cabinet on
Saturday the date for the bye -election
in North Ontario was set for December
12, the nominations being on December
5.
The tenth anniversary of the execu-
tion of Riel was on Saturday celebrated
in Montreal by violent articles in the
Monde and Petrie, Mr. Laurier's prin-
cipal newspaper supporters -in Quebec,
from which it appears that Riel's name
is again to be made use of to assist the
Liberals in.attaining power'.
Will Not Reply Further.
7'o the Editor of The News -Record.
DEAR SIR,—As your correspondent
who calls himself "A member of the
Society for the promotion of true
Catholic Doctrine" writes ina very scur-
rilous way, cunningly avoiding volume,
number or page of his alleged proof, I
cease to reply further. But I may add;
before closing, contrary to his insinua-
tions, that the Rev. Father West is not
the author of the letters signed "Catho-
lic " I may also say that the term
"Mr.'' aiplied to a Priest, especially iu
English speakino countries, is never
used except by the ignorant or the in-
tentionally malicious.
Yours, &c.,
' CATHOLIC.

Mullett.
CouNC[L.—The Hullett Council met
in Londesboro on the 12th Nov. The
Clerk was instructed to ask the Town-
ship Engines:• to make a survey and
give a proper description of a portion
of lot 16, con. 4 and part of side road 15-
16 with a view to purchasing the said
land and of closing up part of the rude-.
allowance, so that the Council can
save the building of a second bridge an
the side road as the river crosses both
side road and con. rbad near the N. E.
angle of lot 16. Now that the County
House of Refuge is open, the allow -
;Owes heretofore made to the Town-
ship poor will be stopped from and aft-
er this date. The annual report of the
Local Board of Health was read by the
chairman, Mr. Macdonald, and adopted.
The report shows that there war no
complaints 'article during the year of
any nuisances and that the Township
at present is free from any infectious
disease and in a good sanitary condi-
tiop; that there were 11 cares of typh-
ottI (5 of them being in Londesboro) of
a mild form, none proving) fatal. The
Health Officer Dr. Agnew is now slow-
ly 'recovering trout en attack of the
same trouble; that up to this date
there has been thirty-three deaths from
various causes being about 1 12-100 per
cent. of the whole population or 10 in
the thousand. Council adjourned un-
til Monday, Dec. 16th, at10 a. m.

TRE FIFTH.—Loyal Orange Lodge
No. 813 held a special literary and
musical entertainment in their hall on
Tuesday evening, the 5th, which was a
very enjoyable and successful affair.
The chair was occupied by worshipful
master Bro. R. Scarlett, whose happy
remarks in the chair from time to tine
were well received by the large audi-
ence and contributed not a little to the
success of the evening's proceedings.
Tho programme consisted of readings,
recitations, vocal and instrumental
music by Winthrop's most popular tal-
ent, and the 'perfect manner in which
each number was rendered would have
done credit to entertainers of a pirrfes-
sional standing. A substantial silver
collection was taken up at the close of
the entertaintnent; which was donated
to the Lady True Blue Lodge and for
which Miss Boyd in behalf of the Lady
True Blues made a neat reply of thanks.
After the entertainment refreshments
were served by the Lady True Blues, to
which, it is needless to say, all did
ample justice. The entertainment was
one of the most thoroughly enjoyable
ever given by the members of Win-
