FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 1884,
Tan „miserable tendencies of' some Or-
angemen were shown at the meeting of
the Grepd Lodge the other day, when
they censured Hon. Mr. Blake for his op-
position to the Act of Incorporation, .but
had not a word to say against the sneaking
conduct of.numbers on the other aide of
the House. Mr.Blake was honest enough
'to express hie convictions; but several of
the leading Tories in the House, who
voted.as he did, had not courage enough
to state frankly their opposition. In the
same.nnotion as that which' -censured Mr.
Blake, the Orangemen state that "they
would 'know no political party," when
nearly ninety-nine out ofn hundred would
, yote the Conservative ticket every day in
the week, and twice_on Sunday if they
bad a chance. It is time such rotten by-'
pocrisy *as shown up in its true colors.'
Not this slightest objection can be taken.
to their criticising Mr. Blake if they
honestly' do the same to others.

;eueral Superintendent .Whyte, of the
Ontario division of the Canada'Peelfic
Railwh'y, having ascertained the cost of
the prpposed extension of the Toronto,
(trey & Bruce line to Wingham,'and the
probable benefits to accrue from it, has
counselled the directors not toundertake
its construction, it has consequently been
decided to leave its construction to others.
This is,a result which might have reason-
ably been anticipated, for nearly the whole
cost w Ipld have to be borne by that core-
pany,tmnunicipalities lie longer being wil-
ling to:grant subsidies to roads over which
they can keep no control, -and railroad.
companies know very well that there is
scarcely;any territory now remaining un-
orcnpied by a railroad that would promise
sufficient business to remunerate them for
the•outlay. The decision thus made will
likely Out an end for some time to'fdrther
railroad agitation in Huron.
DEI.CIIATES of the Republican party
are now iu session at Chicago for the•pur-
pose of nominating a candidate for next.
"President, the most prominent names for.
that position yet named being Arthur,
the prsent President, Blaine and Ed:
rounds. •Who the choice may fall upon
it is impossible to tell, for although more
than one-third of the delegates are pledged
to two of the names mentioned, it is pos-
sible a,party but little now. thought of
will get the nomination. What their.
platform will be is not yet known,, butit
is not likely to be one in which, much
change front the present order of things
is to be made. The Democrats are wait-
ing to see who will be .notainated, and
what course the Republicans will take in'
pplitical matters before .they meet for the
' same purpose. The tariff question will •
be a prominent one there is scarcely a
doubt, and if the Democrats take a firm
stand for tariff reform there is good ,
grounds to believe they will come "off
victor,.
`+ince Sir Richard Cartwright delivered
his famous speech at Toronto a short. time
ago, both he and his speech has received
an unusual share of notice and criticism
from almost every quarter, as.mest reason
ably might have been -expected, for there
is not a man in the dominion better quali-
fied to speak upon the financial affairs of
the country than he is, and one wl,io is''
o situated, socially•and pecunarily, that
would more unreservedly and unselfishly
denounce and show up the iniquities and
Macias of the protective policy. He net
only discussed the general :political ques-
tions that now occupy such a prominent
position, but he brought tp the frolit the
fa tun of Canada, which every 'one ad-
mits lnuet be taken pp and disposed of
sooner or later. The fact that the men-
tion of the subject of Canadian independ-
ence has been taken so quietly', is strong
evidence that the people look upon it as
a. foregone conclusion, to be realised at to'
distant day, and there is no doubt that
many who are now opposed, to it -would
favor it if they could be assured that the
matter would stop there, and not be a
mere step towards annoxatfon. That even
the discussion of annexation may now be.
clone without the danger of'being.called a
rebel, is shown by the fact that Dr. Wild,
last Sunday, in his pulpit, took Mr. Carte._
wright's speech as his text, and urged -the.
eon federation of the whole of the English
speaking communities. Tho question is
W00L rRNA ITS, P11113Bi.
Alined every farmer, -who has wool to sell,
is aakieg the question why wool. is so low in
price, which is very natural when we remem-
ber :the high price) it brought a few years ago.
and the dutyimposed to insure a continuance
of the same. There are.aeveral reasons why
the decline in the Price ilea taken place,
which we will give, The first and strongest
is that :the. production o£ mutton in Australia,
Cape e£ Good Hope, Western and Southern
States, and other places, has been so great
than can find
a
now

is'W001grown..
that more .
good market at anything near old 'rates.
Secondly, most of the wool grown in Canada
is yet of the 1png kind, called combing wool,
and as many of the articles which was made
from it, have gone out of fashion, the demand
for it has consequently ceased. Another r. ea -
son for the decline in wool is that more cot7
ton is grown•andused than formerly, and
there is also many other kinds of material
being brought" into use, whioh, to some de-
gree, displaces wool, as they can be produced
at a cheaper rate. In this age of discovery
and invention, all should look for and expect
changes, especially in everything that r elates
to manntactur9s, for everybody wants to
make money,. and therefore constant effort
will bo made to find material of a cheaper
kind • than has previonsly. . been used, and
farmers, consequently, will have to conten
themselves with wool at sixteen cents pex
pound. '
