The Clinton New Era, 1896-10-30, Page 4)otbber 30, 1896 ERA ,lc G1 Bere's The Story . . Of the Underwear we spoke about last week. It's a story that will interet those who desire to purchase high grade Underwear at the price of the ordinary kinds. The reason you an do this is that we have purchaped about 200 sample garments of Ladies' and Gentle- men's Fino.Underwear. They are all imported goods of English and German manufacture, and the finest class of these goods brought into the country. They were only carried as samples a few weeks by the manufacturers agent and are perfect in every particular The price we got them at enables us to sell them at figures that are at least from 26c to 75c� per garment less than regular. The Men's Goods are Heavy .Weight 'Shetland, Made in England Heavy Scotch Lamb's Wool, Made in England Medium weight Lambs Wool Made in England Fine Natural Wool, Made in Germany They're finer goods than are usually sold outside the large cities the greater portion being made from fine, soft yarn and free from the harshness peculiar to most woollen Un- derwear. We have divided them into three lots at $1, $1.25, $1.50 the garment, with a few odd pieces of extra fine quality The Ladies Goods are Fine Lambs Wool Vests Fine Lambs wool Drawers Fine Lambs wool Combinations with a few Children's Fine :Combination Suits. When we quote you 50c and 75c for Fine vests that are usually sold at $1, $1 25 and $1.50 you'll have an idea of how the goods are going. It's an opportunity to save money on your winter Un- derwear. There are no better wearing goods made and the prices we quote are less than it costs to bring them into the country. A Hosiery Bargain Came our way the other day. It's a line of Ladies' and Children's fine ribbed cashmere Hose of an extra good quality. They were ordered from an English maker, but when they came out the agent refused to deliver them. The quantity was too small to ship back so we got them at a bargain and you can share it Sizes 4,} to 9T}, and only one doz pairs of a size in the lot. A Handkerchief Sale Has proved a big success. Those at lc and the col. ored borders at 3c are all,gone, but at 5o, 7c, 8c, 15c, there are still some big bargains left. MUSIC AND ' : It Go hand to band.

One of the most encouraging signs of political independence is the fact that not one paper, to our knowledge, has defended partizanship like that of which one or tat Ontario officials at Toronto are known to have displayed. The Toronto News, one of the bitter- est and most irreconcileable of the Conservative organs, is favorably im- pressed with the work of Mr A. W. Campbell, the Ontario Road Commis- sioner, says his appointment "is an act for wLich the next generation will rise up and call the ardy Government blessed." This, from the Hamilton Times, should be prominently pasted in the note book of every exporter: —"If our people want to see Canadian products become popular in Britain they must earn distinction for quality and hones- ty. The big apples must not all be at the top of the barrel. When the name "Canadian" is made a guarantee of ex- cellence we shall find our goods sought after." The Tariff Inquiry. • 1: is itnnounced that the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Trade and Commerce, and the Csntroller of Cus- toms will commence their trade or tar- iff inquiry on the 10th of Nov. in or- der to gather all the information pos- sible they will visit trade centres, and then interview various business risen. Their'indertaking is a most important one, and will require very delicate and careful handling, for it may be as- sumed at the outset that those who have enjoyed the privileges of a pro- tective tariff, will be reluctant to fore- go them. 'rhe Liberal party is com- mitted to tariff reform. It does not follow that they should go at it with a broad -axe, nor should it he inferred that they will pare it with a penknife. it has been built, up by degrees, one privilege being added to another, until it has attained its present dimensions. That the Ministry has no easy task before it is undeniable. To set things right, when they .nay have been going wrong for twenty years, is a job of no small magnitude. But the men are equal to the occasion. if they only succeed in turning the point in the right direction, time can adjust other difficulties. it is presumed that the interests of both producer and consumer will be carefully considered. The farmer, the mechanic and the day laborer are the men who will he glad to see the tariff reduced to what, for convenience, may he called its normal condition. On the other hand, men who have built up in• dustries, based on the protection af- forded them, will feel that their inter- ests will also he conserved. So that between the two opposing interests the Ministers will require to exercise prudence and good judgment. As the House wilt meet again in Feb- ruary, there will not he very much time wherein to make the necessary investigations and prepare the tariff for the next session, Be the changes small or great the Ministry will he sub- ject to the keenest criticism, and muat be prepared to defend its action in this most important issue. All that we hope for is that the amended tariff will be just to all interests, as far as such a thing is possible, where these interests are direct opposites. A Labor Problem. One of the correspondents of the Saturday Globe touches up a point that will shortly be of momentous in- terest—viz:--the possible competition labor will shortly have to face from Japan and China. There is at present a great, outcry against "Chinese cheap labor," and people talk of the Chinese as if they were nothing more than a lot of animals. But in discussing these labor problems, they overlook a lot of important factors. It was the English who flrst forced an entrance into Chi- na, for purposes of trade and commerce and to -day England throws open its doors to all comers. If a Chinaman, or African, or native of any other country can secure a job in England, he does so on precisely the same terms as an Englishman or Irishman, and there is no foolish talk about "cheap Chinese labor." The laborer in the old land knows that those of any other nationality have just as Much right there as he has, is just as much entit- led to employment, and if one can live cheaper than the other, that is a olr- ctymstance over which there is no con- trol. 0;We rets Is ai8 ldob What we start - ed est to discuss. The point that we NEWS //`101,E0 wanted particularly to a Jude to is the conking competition from Japanese and Chinese artisans. At no distant day experts from these countries will not only be residents of Canada, but they will be engaged in the manufacture of all those fancy goods that have made the Japanese famous. The Japanese in particular are very quick to imitate, and they no sooner see certain articles of manufacture than they feel their ah- ibity to make theist. What are Cana- dians going to do to meet the keenness of the competition they will certainly have to face from this quarter. A pro- hibitory tariff, wrong as a principle. can never he enforced against these people if they wish to become citizens on the same terrns as those of other na' ionalities. Our opinion is that the only course open is for Canadians to re- cognize the inviolable law of supply and demand; give to all el 16E4.48 of labor, no matter what its nationality, the privil- ege to work for whatever it likes, and let society govern itself accordingly. The less that labor is hampered by le- gal restrictions the hetter. As a mat- ter of fact, a11, or nearly all. legal res- trictions pretending to benefit the la- borer, are in reality injurious, because if a seeming benefit is conferred, there must he a compensation to other inter- ests, which •)ffsets the other. Sunday School Statistics The Provincial Sunday School Asso- ciation is in convention at London. From the report of the General Secre- tary the following interesting particu- lars are gathered: —"In 1886 the opera- tions of the association were for the most par t confined to a strip of terri- tory extending east and west some hundred miles or so north of Lakes Erie and Ontario, since which time every settlement within the hounds of the new Ontario, covering an area of some 200,000 square miles, has been reached directly or indirectly, by the association, and the following will show the progress in organization in the member of Sunday Schools teachers and scholars, and in the in- come of the association dieing the ten years now closing:-1886—County or city oreanizations, 20: township or lo- cal, 10; schools, 3,077; offirers and teachers, 35,140; scholars. 208,746; in- come of the association, 52,287. 1890— County or city organizations, 64; town- ship or local, 260; schools, 5,010; officers and teachers. 46,610; scholars, 423,046; income, $4,200. This shows at the present time a Sabbath School for every 350 of our Protestant population, and nearly 28 per cent. of such popula- tion enrolled in these schools. Crisp County lippings Mrs Adan Albrecht of the 14th concess- ion Hay fell of a load of mangolds the other day and broke her leg. Wm. Ching, of the Lake Road, Hay, is having a new brick house built on his farm. Mr Shearer, of Orange Hill, and Mr Dar - loch, of Lakelet, have been re-engaged again for teaching. Mr George Irwin, of the Huron Road, 1I ullett, trade over $60 this year in prizes at the various shows, on poultry. A few days ago Mr James Longworth, of McKillop, tilled an ordinary ;rain bag, as full as it could hold with 31 potatoes, and 25 of these weighed 60 pounds. The annual meeting of 'the Teachers of West Huron will be held in the Collegiate Institute, Goderich, on Fridayand Satur- day, Nov. 27th and 2rlth. While InspectorTom was passingthrough a gateway in Hay township on Monday last the wind blew the gate with terrible force against his leg, spraining his ankle badly and necessitating the use of a crutch, Oliver Joleman, who has taught with much skill and success in section No. 6. Hay. has deorded to quit the professiou and enter the ministry, and before long intends starting for AlbertCollege. While the Messrs Irwin, of Alma, were out in the bush, near their home, they saw some animal on a fence, and they and their dog give chase. After an exciting run the animal was brought down, and it proved to be a wild cat. The late Mr John Ring, of Bluevale in bis will stated that twelve hundred dollars is to be given to each of the eight children of his brother, the late Mr Duncan King, twelve hundred dollars to a sister, the same amount to a niece, and twelve hundred dolls a to Knox College, Toronto, BORN Baooxs.—In Mitchell, on the 20th inst., the wife of Mr Jas.

Condie was sentenced at Bran- don to one year's imprisonment at hard !tabor for the theft of au express package containing 53,000 from Oak Lake Station. The second trial of Michael Brennan for the murder of John A. Strathy, at Barrie, developed no new features, and the defence points to the plea of in- sanity. Brennan is so weak that he cannot stand without, assistance. At a meeting of Montreal business then, at the Board of Trade, Monday, Hon. Mr Fisher, Minister of Agricul ture, advised Quebec farmers to stake butter instead of cheese, as they had better milk than the farmers of Orit.ar io. Refrigerators, according to the honorable Minister, are absolutely ne- cessary in order to keep Canada's su- premacy abroad in the cheese and bol- ter trade. It is unders:ood the present Government will use all its energy to- wards establishing cold storage estab- lishments in vat ions places in Canada, and also for the providing of coid stor- age on railways and Atlantic steam- ships. Mr Jos. Martin has finally extin- guished all the hopes and rumors and reports of the Opposition that he had rebelled against the Dominion Govern- ment because he had not been given office. He presided over the banquet to Mr Tarte, and had nothing but good to say 10 him, and finally declared that he was delighted to be once more in private life. Every one seems to have forgotten that MI Martin declared he - fore the last general elections his de- termination to give up politics, which he did not care for, as soon as the Man- itoba school question was satisfactorily disposed of. Mr Sifton, who it is ex- pected will he the Minister of the In- Ietior in the Laurier ('abinet, was one of the principal speakers, and seems to have been in perfect accord with Mr Martin and Mr Tarte, as well as the people present. STOWING AWAY. A Foolhardy and Dangerous Method of Getting an Ooean voyage. In spite of the fact that the punish- ment usually meted out to those who try to steal a free passage on a ship is sev- eral weeks' bard labor, with the option of a fine, stowaways are even more com- mon to -day than they were fifty or sixty years ago. Big passenger steamers, with their hundreds of passengers and their scores of stewards, sailors and stokers, afford innumerable opportunities for stowing away. Three years ago a stowaway was dis- covered aboard one of the Allan liners, running between Liverpool and Mont- real. Hb Meas shabbily dressed, but being a big, sturdy -looking fellow, he was put to work about the ship. When the ship anchored below Montreal, waiting for daylight before entering the harbor, be, it was presumed, slipped quietly over- board and swam ashore. In any case, when the boat touched at Montreal, and was overrun by detectives looking for a notorious jewel robber, it was immedi- ately -suspected that the stowaway was the robber, and that he had escaped, taking the jewels with him. He wasoap• tared some months afterwards, and oon- fessed that when be swam ashore he had more than $10,000 worth of jewels on his person. The favorite hiding place of stowaways are the coal hunkers and the narrow passages lett when the vessels are loaded with bricks, tiles, drain pipes, or other similar oargo. These planes are extremely dangerous and many oases are reoorded where the shifting of the cargo bas re- sulted In the death of some unfortunate wretch in hiding. During the passage of a cargo boat to this country from England, the sailors were startled the third day out by a curi- ous scratching which was immediately attributed to supernautral causes. The scratching continued for three days and then grew quiet and ceased. When the hatches were lifted at the end of the voyage, the emaciated body of a man was found lying nn some bags of Dement. The poor starving fellow had struggled frantically to get out of the hold. As for our American liners, it is folly to try stowing away in any of them. The United States will not receive pau- per Immigrants, and captains are forbid- den to land stowaways In this country ander a penalty of $2,600. A "free pass- enger" on ono of these ships is promptly clapped in trona and kept there until the ship returns to Liverpool, when he 1s brought before the authorities.—Ctnctn- nett Enquirer.
