WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4th, 113116.
OUR TO IVN A1'OLOO1.ST.
OCri' esteemed town contemporary,
the New Era, is still in the apology
business at the old stand. That paper
has for some Cline been slandering Mr,
Weistniller, the recent Conservative
candidate in West Huron and opened
its columns, as on previous occasions,
for the free use of unprincipled and de-
ceptive writers. The other week that
paper announced a u eek ahead of pub-
lication that it would give the public a
treat in the shape of "Mr. Weismiller,
past and present." No doubt the arti-
cle was carefully prepared and revised.
The lying production appeared, and
now the New Era expresses regret for
his sins and asks forgiveness, saying
that. it has "no desire to place 111r.
Weismiller in an improper light."
This latter declaration is not borne out
by facts. Every article that has ap-
peared in our cotem. referring to Mr.
Weismiller goes to prove that they
were for the purpose of placing the late
candidate in an Improper light before
the ele^tore; and the statement that
"the New Era endeavors at all times
to ho straight, even to its opponents,"
will not meet with much credence from
a serntinizing and impsrtlal public.
However, it is refreshing to again
witness our cotem. swallowing its own
medicine and acknowledging that it
allowed the use of its columns to make
untrue statements about Mr. Weis -
AN INCONSISTENT PRESS.
Our readers will easily recall the old
contention of the Toronto Globe and
Grit Press generally, that the Tariff
had no effect on wages. They ridicul-
ed the idea that the imposition of cus-
toms duties on imported goods could
affect the wages of Canadian working-
men, and especially of those engaged
in employments not protected by the
Tariff. It is somewhat amusing now
to note the anxiety of those papers to
claiin that the advance in wages of
some of the industries in the
United States is due to the late
revised tariff. This is a case
in which consistency would great-
ly add to a faithful memory. It is real-
ly embarrassing for the zealous Grit
editor to discover from day to day, just
where he is at.
THE PRICE OF IVHKA7.
The New Era has twice been invited
to reply to our article on the above
subject. In place of that we notice the
aid of some outsider has been secured
and a letter written signed "A Liberal."
It is hardly worth notice beyond the
pointing out to our readers of the con-
summate folly therein displayed. To
prove this we give one quotation :
"The imposition of a duty can never
increase the prices of local produce,
neither can it reduce them" and this is
written by "A Liberal" and printed in
a Grit paper, a class of people who are
continually telling us that protection
increases the price of everything and
that the consumer Frays the duty. If
this is all the New Era has got to say
about the price of wheat perhaps the
editor will suggest the name of some
other subject which he is better posted
011.
THE SIO N.4 L EATING PLAIN CROW.
The Goderich Signal has been engag-
ed—very busily engaged—eating plain
crow during the past few weeks, and
whines like a whipped youth. During
his melancholy hours, he weeps bitter-
ly of his sins and at intervals returns
to the crow while he reads THE NEWS
RECORD and at last realizes that his
many political errors have found him
out. Oh, no, Mr. Signal; THE NEWS -
RECORD will, with your iperrnission,
continue to weekly form a part of your
valued wail 'natter, and we ,night say
for the benefit of the public that you as
usual received this great home journal
last. week.
Since the time of nomination the
Signal has been very loud in its endor-
sation of the independent candidate
and denouncing everything Conserva-
tive. On the puhlic platform the dec-
laration was made thatTodd telegraph-
ed N. Clay ke Wallace "For God sake
take this nran Newman out of the
field !" We denied t he statement and
challenged pried' frau' those who made
the charge. The proof has never been
offered, and we alight just as well say
can not„ he produced. The Signal and
his inlet tors have resorted to quibbling
in order to ease themselves down and
are agonizingly endeavoring to side-
track the issue. Ti11r NEw'H-REc'(>nr)
will have none of it. Otir position has
from the first, been maintained, and
until these conspirators clear thein -
selves or acknowledge that they have
resorted to misrepresentation they
trust continue to eat plain crow.

T11i: NEws-Reecon1) can produce a
number of sworn statement', in addi-
tion to those already given, to make
good our contentions 10 regard to the
recent West Huron election

take any stock in sworn statements.

The Seaforth Expositor asked TUE
Ne:ws•i-tiu'oltu to say something about
Mr. Weis'niller• tout his "six hundred
acre farm." As stated last week, Mr.
Weismiller is well able to lake care of
himself, and as proof of this the New
Era gets down on his knees and ac-
knowledges the Expeeiter'S insinua-
tions to be false.
When Sir ,Iehn Macdonald was
asked why lie did not insist, on it Pi o_
tocti '.0 tariff, while in power, previous
to 1873, his answer was : "First, because
from 1851 to 1866 we had reciprocity;
secondly, because from 18(16 until the
time i left the country in Mr. Macken-
zie's hands the circumstances resulting
from the war in the ilnited States
rendered their keen competition with
118 impossible."
Mr. Muluck went from Ottawa to the
great atit.i-ren-etlial mee',ing at Toronto
with a message from Mr. Laurier de-
claring that there ought to be no re-
medial law, and endeavoring to arouse
a popular feeling against the Roman
Catholics. On the same day a body of
Liberal leaders in Quebec delivered
another message from Mr. Laurier, the
recipient being Archbishop Begin, the
coadjutorofCardinalTaschereau. This
message pointed out that the Remedial
hill has deficiencies—in other words,
that it is not so stiff as the Church
ought to require it to he, and as Mr.
Laurier world make it. The' Opposi-
tion leader is putting public Intelligence
to a severe strain.

hut has yet failed tu' acknowledge that
the New Era approved and endorsed
such statements as being true. It
would now be in good taste for the
New Era to again apologise to Mr.
Weismiller for endorsing the lying
statements of a correspondent, where
the editor said the correspondent knew
whereof he spoke.
England built up her manufacturing
industries under the most severe and
rigid system of Protection that the
world has ever seen. In some instan-
ces she not only prohibited importa-
tion, but prohibited the export of ma-
chinery under a penalty, and passed
laws 'o prevent the emigration of her
expert or skilled labor. She carried
Protection so far that in sorne instan-
ces it was made a punishable offence
even to sell or use commodities manu-
factured abroad.
The Liberals, according to their Que-
bec journals, want to flx upon Manito-
ba a school system under the control
of the clergy,, with no inspection, end
with unauthorized books. They also
desire a provision declaring, in accord-
ance with section 6 of the syllabus,
that Roman Catholics shall not he free
to use whatever schools they please.
When `the proper time enures there
will be such a pronouncement against
coercion that the gentleman, of sunny
ways will be sorry he spoke.
The Ottawa cor'responnent of the
Lindsay Warder writes thus to his
paper:—
"The life of a member of Parliament
is a peculiar one. This week alone
forty letters have been received by the
writer, referring to the Remedial hill.
Nineteen of thein recommend the
member for North Victoria to vote for
the bill right through, and as one
writes, `comply with your oath as an
Orangeman by doing justice.' The
rest are chiefly against the hill ; but
some conclude by saying, 'You should
do what you think best for the coun-
try'; while others say, 'stick to the old
party that has made Canada.' Of the
nineteen ordering the member to sup-
port the bill, all are Protestants, and
eleven are Orangemen, and one is a
True Blue; while of those advising op-
position to the hill, strange to say, two
are Roman Catholics. The member
who pleases everyone on that bill will
be a perfect marvel."
Judging by the first three sentences,
the correspondent is Mr. Sam Hughes,
M. P., who is himself a staunch
Orangeman.
Laurier on Two Horns.
Mr. Laurier's proposal to settle the
Manitoba school question by a com-
mission of enquiry has drawn into
print the different views he has taken
in different parts of the country. At
the Liberal convention in Ottawa he
said, not in his English speech, but in
that which he delivered in French :—
"The Government have done what they have
always done in such eases—nothing ; if they did
one thing they would irritate their Protestant
following in Ontario. and if the did the other
they would irritate their Catholic following in
Quebec."
It is important to note here how
thoroughly conscious and how frank
the hon. gentleman was on the subject
of the value of the issue to hiniself as a
means of arousing religious passions.
"I tell you," tie proceeds, "what i would do if
I were Prime Minister, I would doustice, 00
matter what the consequences might be, and
not shift away my responsibility."
What ever was to be done would he
done by Mr. Laurier himself, and not.
through the shifting of responsibility,
which is obviously contemplated in the
conunissron proposal. NOT has the
hen. gentleman been less inconsistent
touching the nhjec•t at which he aims.
He has sent his emissaries to the con-
stituencies in which Protestants are in
the majority to oppose what, there he
describes as coercion. But he has
figured as a coercinnist himself in the
Roman Catholic, districts. Ile spoke
at Grand River, in the Con•nty of Gaspe,
nn the 24th of August last. The lead-
ing sten of that locality have prepared
an affidavit touching what he said, and
have forwrarded it to The Mail and
Empire. ft appeals that Ire was asked
if, should he become Prime Minister,
he would have remedial legislation in-
troduced w th the consent of his fol-
lowers; and, again, if, in ih* event of a
hill being suabrnitted by Sir Mackenzie
Bowel! for the readjustment of the
grievances rrnnplaineel of, he would
support, the measure. The affidavit
se ys : •
"That in answer to this questlorrthc Icon. Mr.

wanted to have the question settled in accord-
ance with the 'sews of the Manitoba. Catholic-
minority.,

by siting on these lines; and, further, that If

Purified Blood
Saved an operation in the following
case. Hood's Sarsaparilla cures when
all others fail. It makes pure blood.
"A year ago my father, William Thomp-
son, was taken suddenly 111 with inflam-
mation of the bladder. He suffered a great
deal and was very low for some time. At
last the doctor said he would not get well
unless aii!o�i>eration was performed. At
this time we read about Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla 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."

that the lender pledged himself to the
French-Canadirets to bring in or to
support a Remodiai bill, ()lir contem-
porary adds that the affidavit, does not
tell the truth. There need he no won-
der that the Globe is in a state et ex-
ritement. The affidavit does spoil the
Ontario end of the game. As to the
statement that the affidavit does not
tell the truth, all that can be said is
the', it is more difficult to accept our
contemporary's denial I han hi believe
that the gentlemen who swear to what
Mr. I.ru•ier said have perjured them-
selves. As a ,natter of fact., it wits
known that. Mr. Laurier in. his agents
in. the press wooed deny the speech,
just as the "Thank God, there ave no
Orangemen in our party," phrase was
repudiated. For this reason the
pledge given by Mr. Laurier was taken
down on the sport, and its language
certified on the oath of gentlemen
whorn the leader himself dare not
charge with falsification.
The Council and the People.
Erbidnr Nems -Record.
DEAR Sar, The Council of thist,own
peforniecl some peculiar feats last Mon-
day evening. One of these was to pass
an account of $13 tor medical attend-
ance on Miss Bay, and soot her account
of $15 for rt nurse. As a taxpayer 1
hold the Council had no legal right to
spend this $28 in such a way, still such
acheese-paring ('owncillot' as M r. Searle
would not even say nay. Another
peculiar feature was the extending the
collector's roll. Here we are in March
and not a solitary councillor has the
pluck to even ask why the taxes are
not all in. We have a paid servant to
see that the taxes are paid and three
months after they are dire no reason
is assigned why they are not paid.
This is not proper. it is not business,
and I hope the members will awake to
the fact. Another feat was the
decision in regard to the ringing
of the hell Saturday night. The Coun-
cil does not object to promoters of
the movement ringing the hell, but
they do object to a paid servant of the
people performing the duty. The hell
ringer is well paid for his ser^rtes, and
I consider the decision an ineult to
some of the hest people in Clinton.
Another feat was the Mayor appoint-
ing a committee—a citizens commit-
tee -to dispose of the $10,000 Stavely
estate money. Surely the Reeve
should have been on that Committee,
as well as Councillor Gilroy Mr. W.
Doherty, Mr. John Ransfore�, Mr. W.
Jackson and several others I might
name. These peculiar freaks on the
part of the Council are something an
ordinary elector cannot well under-
stand. The late Reeve McMurchie is
much missed from the Board.

During a few days visit to Toronto
one may learn more of the "true in-

cenus or 11 meals for a dollar, every
whit as snhstant ia1 as one has to pay
25 cents for at the cheapest hotel.
Once domiciled, he may read the news
in an early morning pancr, step in to
Tough's, get his breakfast, then walk
about admiring the city's splendid
architecture, extensive stores, manu-
factories, halls, trolley street cars on
which ne can go to any part of the city
he chooses tor 5 cents, 'transfer' tickets
being given, if to reach his destination,
it is necessary to change cars.
At. 3 o'clock p, tn. he may occupy a
seat in "Visitor's Gallery" of the
Parliament listeningg' to the vocal wis-
dom of our law•rnakers. On theSah-
hath day he. will go to church wherever
he desires. if the preacher chance to
he a Grit, our visitor will hear very
much of coercing Manitoba, in both
prayers and sermons, with a spice of
Armenia sandwiched between.
Strange 1' that unwise zeal for the re-
lief of sufferers in a province of Turkey,
should prompt anybody to urge what
would prodnee a European war and
the slaughter of thousand= !
But, what has all this to do with the
Remedial Bill and Manitoba? To be
sure, what of the Prairie Province?
Under existing Laws, Religion is
taught in all the schools.
Presbyterians, Baptists, Episcopal-
ians, Menonites, and Methodists, each
insist that, in school, the Pastors shall
instruct the children of their congrega-
tions. Catholic children roust listen,
nr `go hems,' hence, the Catholics call
for "Separate Schools." Mr. Green-
way, being approached on the matter,
expressed his wish to escape the pres-
ent confusion, by "Secularizing all the
Schools" and allow neither BThle nor
Lord's Prayer to be used therein. To
this, Protestants stoutly object. The
purpose of the Remedial Bill is to bring
order out of the present confusion, and
apply to the Prairie Province, the
"Modus Vivendi" that obtains in the
"Banner Province" of Ontario, that is
all. Yet the Grits have howled "coer-
sion" till they have saturated Sermons
and Prayers in the "Sacred Desk."
Never before, since the days of Gov-
ernor Sydenham in 1841, have they so
widely dissetninated one of their hob -
hies for purely partisan purposes! If
they fail to break the Government, and
get onto the Treasury Benches by this,
their biggest, "hon," then roust they
bid fat ewell to Hope.
The country will "none of th
i Free Trade," and if the "coercion" cry
, does not carry the Grit party to
triumph, nothing will, so good bye to
hope.
