we have been connected with a paper,
havo wit wet Iced as Lara to make itinterest-
ing and iustru etive to uelr readers as We
have during the past year, and we are
pleased to tied that our labors have been,
to some extent, appreciated. Many ap•
war to think that in publishing a paper
the work is light and the proceeds all pro-
fit, but if they had' any connection with
ono they would aeon have this illusion
dispelled. True, w-hre a hrlsiueas is ecu-
nomically managed, and efficiently Looked
after, a fair return for the capital invested
may be had, and it is due to the fact that
we have so conducted our business, that
we have been able to keep above water.
Our course in the past has always been
the "greatest possible good to all," and
where We have• soeu $flatus 1,r frauds in

past, entleaver to be strictly straightfor-
ward and honest in ell our dealings with
questions and men. \1'e do not issue a
paper, in the mere interest of a certain
political party, or because we claim a
nomina • • t^.ace to one, but we, labor
for the best interests of the community
at large, and we believe no ono can truth-

ltruf•tnity is nut heard to any greJtt ex-

we believe, than in any other portion of
Her Majesty'. dominions; and, also, a
due respect is shown for the feelings,
beliefs and inclinations of others, and
wherever sympathy is needed it is gene-
rally manifested.
Notwithstanding the dui)ression ex-
isting throughout the country, and the
suffering 13111osg the poor and laboring
class in the large towns and cities, ereat-
big a tendency of this class to flow to
the sulalier towns and villages, there is
great cause fur thankfulness that there
is s0 little suffering in one midst from
want. Fortunately, all kinds of prc-
visione toe clump, and if the demand for
labor is lee as brisk, and the laborer

As the staguat.ioll in business circles

Although opinions widely differ in
matters pertaining to the governinent
of the country, there are fundamental
principles in political eeolionly , that
cbaugetlt not, they may be thrown
aside and trampled upon fora time, but
they will re -assert theiiselves, and if
the march onward is to be made in the
possession of all the requisite ant go

recent elections a milder tout has been
assumed and practiced by most people
and newspapers ; and, perhaps, a bettor
understanding has been arrived at the
true condition of afa.irs, and the expec-
tations of some, and the fears of others,
they rind, will not 1)e realized. 'l.'I1ere
will, most likely, be more conservatism
in some things practiced than even some
of that shade of politics would desire,

would riot advocate. But, by at candid,
calm and rational discussion, and a

that affect the welfare of the country,

IN reference to the foisting of Mr.
Morris on the elections of Eat Toronto
by the U. E. Club, the Stratford'Herakl,
which is generally- one of the most sub=
servient conservative papers, gives, the
club the following still' advice :-
" The Toronto party leaders displayed
bad judgment both in the selection and
the introduction of their candidate, who
%vas, to put it mildly, all outsider forced
upon the judgment and the wishes of
the party' Mases. We trust that the
narrow escape which they have had may
teach the 1T. E. Club gentlemen a lesson
in prudence, and that Mr. Morris will
so comport himself in the house that
the party will come to see that their
sorely tried confidence has not 41:11 11)15 -
}laced."
Farmers are proverbiallydisconteuted.
The crops :11.0 a standing grievance.
These hive been, however, vory abun-
d ant this year, and therefore complaint
is made of the low prices obtained for
cereals. But if the farmer has received
less per bushel for his crops, lie has
paid loss for all articles consumed' on
farm. Clothing and all articles which
required to be purchased have been
lower perhaps than at any previous
petiod. Of course a home market is
required, and that will come in time. -

This is an altogetlteteadifferent way of
talking to the farmers to what the Mail
practiced a few months since. Then,
language almost failed to express its
sympathy, for the " anuclt abused farm-
er," but now he is " proverbially dis-
contented." Wo trust our farming
friends will just make at note of the
change, told in future they will bo less
likely to be duped by hollow and insincere
election cries; got up only for effect ;
and also remember that it is impossible
to create a home market by legislation
that will benefit them in the slightest
degroe. The last sentence of the above
paragraph is penned merely es a red
rag before tfie eyes of their dupes.
