When the tariff on wheat was first
proposed, but before' it had been im-
posed, a certain person happened to
' meet Mr Hutchison, the manager of
the Big Mille, Goderich, and knowing
that he was a Conservative, the person
said "Mr -$utebi�on, what 'dck.you
think of the proposal to put a duty on
• wheat." "hat do I think of it?"
,was Mr Hutchison's , emphatic. reply;
'"why' 1 think its the silliest thing I
ever heard of, and we would never
have built our mill.at`Goderich hard we
thought the government "intended to
do such a thing."
We notice that Mr McLean, M.P.P.,
for South Huron, proposes to bring in
a bill to make voting compulsory.
While something may be said in favor
of such a bill, there is also something
to be said against it. It seems to us
that the greatest difficulty would be
the enforcement of a measure of this
kind. No doubt penalties would be
attached for non-compliance with the
provisions of a Compulsory Voting
Act. Suppose a number of eligible
voters declined to vote, how would
you reach them after an election.
Neither political parties would want
the responsibility of prosecuting these
persons, because their support and as-
sistance would be wanted in future
elections:

comparison of Chicago and Toronto
prices. Toronto has no great grain
market like Chicago and the compari-
son is most unfair; slut protectionists
must get arguments somewhere, and
so the News -Record quotes the price,
(and not the highest price, either) in
the greatest wheat market on the con-
tinent against the rice on the "local
street market��in Toronto.
If the News -Record wants "facts,"
unalloyed with any common sense
considerations bearing upon ' these
facts, it might turn its attention to the
prices of Canadian wheat at Fort
William, which are given in the same
issue of the sae paper as the News -
Record quotes from, viz., the Globe of
the lst inst. Prices up there ranged
from seven to ten cents lower than
Chicago. And if its hatred of theories
and craving for "facts" are still not
satisfied, it might explain why pro-
tection has not prevented the export
of wheat from falling from $1.09 a
buehel in 1884 to 66c a bushels in 1894.
(I take the figures from the latest
available year book issued by the Do-
minion Government—that for 1894.
Does the News -Record know of any
prominent man acquainted with the
wheat market who denies that the
price of wheat'here is practically the
Liverpool price, less the cost of trans-
portation?
If the duty on wheat keeps the
price here 131c, or five cents, or one
cent higher than it otherwise would
be, why did Sir John Macdonald, in
1891, propose to enter into a treaty
with the United States for reciprocity
in natural products?
These are questionsthat I think may
fairly be asked, and until they are sat-
isfactorily answered, and until the
News -Record and other protectionists
give us a little common sense along
wyvith„their "facts,” the farmers are
likely to continue in their belief that
the duty has as much effect on the
price of wheat as a setting hen has on
a china egg.

when the Advisory Board .of the Depart-
ment of Education took the matter up at
a special meeting and almost unanimously
reoommended the change. The only
Opponent was the Archbishop of Rnpert'e

serious matter, it will not deter the board

What They Say?
Says the Goderif;h Signal:—The Clinton
News Record has palled in its horn as to
Newaiu, and thongh it still refused to pub-
lish hie letters, yet it is very meek towards
him this week. For contemptible and
cowardly taotios towards opponents The
News -Record leads the prooession. It
should change' its name to the Coward -
Slanderer. Newaas's exposure of the rascal-
ity of the editor of The News -Record in the
recent election contest appears in another
column.
Says the Brussels Post; Tao "sassy"

his paper with a lot of "awash" that hie
subscribers won't thank him for. He palls
McGillicuddy "the Goderich liar," and the
Editor of THE Post "local pteaober Kerr"
and thereby gets even all around. Now wa

In the Dominion House the other
day Mr Haggart said that the cost of
maintaining the Tay Canal during last
season, including pay for keeper, was
$3,188; the amount of'reveinue was
$110.94, and the total cost of the work
up to date $476,877. He said that the
total revenue from the first construc-
tion of the canal has been 84.84. Is
it any wonder that the debt ' of this
country is enormous, when instances
like this Occur. The canal cost nearly

POSTAGE) ON PAPERS. —A number of
exchanges have jumped to an incor-
I.ect conclusion concerning the recent
action of the Canadian Press Associa-
tion and the postage on newspapers.
The writer was a member of the com-
mittee dealing with the matter. In
view of the heavy deficit, and the large
number of fake publications passing
through the mails free, the deputy
Postmaster -General intimated that it
would be necessary to re -impose post-
age. Of the members of the commit-
tee three represented daily papers and
three weekly ones, and only one mem-
ber of the committee, a daily newspa-
per representative, was in favor of
newspapers paying postage, and he
took the broad ground that newspapers
were business concerns like anything
else, and were entitled to no favors not
enjoyed by others. However, the
committee brought in a very non-
committal report, recommending
simply that some of the members of
the association should help the Deputy
Postmaster in weeding out publica-
tions not entitled to free postage. It
did not recommeid that postage be
imposed. Most of the members of the
Association were decidedly opposed to
re-impo§ition of postage, as it simply
meant that much out of the publish-
ers' pocket, but as the government
seemed bound to put the postage on
again, it was thought wise to'heate a
committee which could help the gov-
ernment in arriving at a solution of
the difficulty, without actually going
back to the old method.

SOLUTION or PROBLEM.
The family consists of seven in all, as
follows: -Old Mr and Mrs Jones have one
son and one daughter, John and Mary by
name. Mr Smith, a widower with one
daughter, Aline by name.. He married
Mary Jones, and had one son; then John
Jones married Aline Smith, and are united
in the following manner: Old Mr Jones
and YIr Smith are the two fathers. Old
Mrs Jones and bars Smith are the two mo-
thers. Mrs Smith and Mrs John Jones are
the two daughters; for instance, Mrs Smith
is daughter of old Mrs Jones, and Mrs John
Jones id daughter of Mr Smith. The two
sons - are John Jones and Mr Smith's son;
for instance, John Jones is the eon of old
Mr Jones, and the child born by Mr and
Mrs Smith would be their son. The grand-
son would be Mr Smith's stn, as he would
ba old Mr and Mrs Jones' grandson. The
grandfather is old Mr Jones, and the grand-
mother is old Mrs Jones; the uncle is John
Jones, because he is brother to Mrs Smith,
therefore he is uncle to her son; the aunt
is Mrs John Jones by marriage. The step-
mother is Mrs Smith, that is step mother
to Mrs John Jones; the step -daughter
is Mre John Jones. The two sons-in-law
are Mr.Smith and John Jones; for instance,
,imitb is son-in-law to old Mr Jones,
end John Jones is son-in-law to Mr Smith.
The two brothers-in-law are Smith and
John Jones, brothers in la* to each other,
because Smitb married John Jones' sister,
The daughter-in-law is Mrs J. Jones, she is
daughter-in-law to old Mre Jones. The
two fathers-in-law are old Mr Jones and
Mr Smith; for instance, old Mr Jones is
father-in-law to Mr Smith because he mar-
ried his daughter, and Mr Smith is father-
in-law to John Jones, because he married
bis daughter Alice. The nephew is the
son of Mr and Mrs Smith, he is the
nephew to John and Alice Jones.

Sir Oliver Mowat stated in connection
with the Kingston election case that the

made any such discovery,

last year, and an increase in the receipts
which were 1$,585,800 10, as against t 3,-

The bill which Mr Stratton will intro-
duce regarding town councils will provide
for the reduction of members by one-third,
one-half the members to be elected from
the entire town or oity for two years, and
the other half from the wards for one year.
Bir Oliver is keeping his promise to the
Patrons with reference to the Government
Hoose. He gives notice that he will move
the appointment of a select committee to
"consider all questions relating to Govern-
ment House property, and the further
question of future maintenance or the dis-
continnance of the maintenance of the
Government House by the Province or
otherwise, and to report thereon."

Early Thursday morning of last
week, Christ church, Listowel, of
which Rev. J. H. Fairlie, late of Clin-
ton, was pastor, was burned to the
ground. A church service was held
the previous night and there seems no
doubt but that the fire started from
the stove. The insurance was in the
British American, $1000 on building
and $100 on contents. The organ and
library were saved. The building was
a solid framed one, built thirty••four
years ago by the present Canon
Newman, of Toronto.
The Sunshine meeting of the On-
tario St. Epworth League's social de-
partment, least Monday evening, was
certainly the best ever undertaken by
that department. The program was
given by the Junior League, and it
reflects great credit on that part of the
society. The devotional topic "Loyal-
ty to Christ," was taken by Mr A. J.
Cooper. The temperance meeting
next Monday n�i�gght, under the con-
trol of Mr C. M. Bezzo,• is a*pected to
be good; Rev. W. J. Ford will also ad-
dress the meeting. The devotional
topic, "What faith can do for ua," will
be taken by Mies Mattie Shipley.

Adored of all the Nine
Leave other maidens in the lurch
And be my Valentine. MOLEX.
To MIss ALIOLo-
Oh maiden fair t Oh maiden fair I
With setting -sunlight tinted hair,
None other can with thee compare,
Alicia.
Thy step is as the fawn at play,
Thy breath is as the Rowers in May,
Thy Laugh as song -birds sweetest lay,
Alicia.
Thy voice is as tha turtledove,
Thine eyes lute stars in heaven abov e,
Thy heart the shrine of truth and love,
Alicia.
Oh fairest maid grant me some sign
That I may hope to call thee mine,
My own sweetheart, my Valentine.
Alicia.
