Wiseman Qlitnn a e OaJ Jil: PAPER OFTHE COUNTY FRIDAY, AUGUST 32,, X884. A FREE 'I ADE TARIFF, This is not the first time the Witness hasfound fault with the Reform party for being willing to take half a loaf when it knew it was impossible to obtain. a whole ono. It is .admitted that the principle of free trade is tho correct one, no matter what .Course, foreign mottoes may pursue, but time who are ac- quainted with. the public: know that the knowledge of 'political econotny is so circumscribed that but comparatively few would support its adoption. Direct taxation is the skeleton that frightens a great .number, and many others hese to avoid. Laving theif khan of taxation when it is collected in a round -about way. These parties, together with, protectionists, would defeat a tree trade policy, but wobelieve they would support a, tariff -for- revenue policy. So long as a revenue is obtained by excise, so long will it be necessary to maintain a cordon of custom houses, otherwise a vast amount of unox Wised liquor baud tobacco would be brought rots the country and consumed. . The above, from the Clinton Naw ERA, does not show the ueual acumen of that paper. The Witness has never taken ground against raising our revenue by a customs. tanfi.• Although we. agree with our Con. 'temporary in -the view that some other system of getting money . would . be better, we -hold with it that a tarif%for revenue only is the object nowt to be gained. We :....have frequently asserted lthat such a tariff is a, free trade tariff. A free trade tariff mndt, however, be so construoted as to protect-- that rotectthat is .to take the earnings of Consumer11. and band them to producers -as little as possible. It was a .tariff-for-royenue.witit. amental-ptotecfiort policy that we spoke of as half hearted and meaningless and 'calcu• latod to bring upon the party advocating it a charge of insincerity. -Montreal .Witness, If we drew a wrong inference from the words of the Witness we regret it, and are glad to be corrected. We believe, as strongly as the Witness does, that frI'e trade, pure and simple, is the 'only egiiit, able and wise system to be 'adopted to ob: tain'the utmost degree of benefit in our' trade relations with foreign countries, and would not sanction or 'recommend, as a good and desirable principle, a tariff-for- revenue-with-incidental-protection, arifffor- revenue-with-incidentalprotection, but, as we tk we know the electorate pretty well, and believe that a majority; either through igporance or greed, have a lean- ing towards protection, we wouldbe glad to welcome the introduction of.any.mea- aure, that they Would support, that --is in the direction of free trade. The Witness, in its article headed "•A great sham," leaves it to be inferred that it looks upon both political parties in Canada as equal- ly immoral, and only laboring to obtain. the reins of power. To some degree itis. excusable for .entertaining such an er- roneous idea, , as it unfortunately dwells among a people the majority of whom are ready to sell themselves to the highest bidder, as evidenced by the•bought sup- - port of John A. in parliament; but ive. assert, without\fear of truthful contradic- t tion, that the Reform party and pressure actuated in their political aspirations by as pure and patriotic principles as ever were possessed by any political partyin' the world. It is very easy to torture language and misconstrue it -to make false charges and set. thein forth in every. shape, which has. been done by the so- called Conservative press of the Reform party, but it has failed .to prove 7r fasten - one flagrant or corrupt act'upon 11i Occasionally a newspaper or pro tient politician deserts the* ranks of Reform, and itis soon made evident what has pro- duced this result --simply greed -but that does not prove that the party they leave. is corrupt or. greedy; quite the reverse ;. as such parties found they were out' of their element, and therefore made the change. If the Witness thinks an out- and-out free trade party could carry the country, let it hoist the `banner --we will endorse the platform= -but we can inform it that the people are not educated up to that standard yet. THE BOUNDARY DECISION. ' The fallowing is a cablegram from London,' under date of 16th. inet: - The award of the Judicial Committee in. q the Boundary dispute between Ontario 'and Manitoba has been rendered. The `bound. cries settled for Ontario Are praotieally the same as those set out in the award of the Canadian arbitrators. Her Majesty in Conn+ oil, has been .graciously pleased to issue an Order approving the Award and ordering obedience thereto. From this it will be seen that the Dominion Government has now no alternative but to gccept the decision. Sir 'John'msy try"'fo• wiggle and sonirm, but he mast obey the be..• heat of the tideen.' No statesman . in .the world ever received so signal a robuko as Sir John A. Macdonald does in this matte;. Haying sneceeded so well in hilt appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, it is altogether likely that Mr. Mowat, as soon as he teturns home, will enter'in imme- diate possession of the disputed territory, and take steps to secure payment for the timber stolen therefrom with the sanction and ap. proval of the Dominion authorities, Of course Mr. Mowat will look to the Dominion.. Government for payment, as Ontario cannot recognize the individuals who secured mita from the Tlomin'on. Sir John bas placed. himself in a box in this matter, from which, even with his usual astuteness, ho will find it hard to extricate himself. alis bitter hostiili• ty to Ontario parried hint further than be in+ tetxl d, and the people.ef'the Dominion, tin, for',; ,: ttr•ly, will be compiled to hoar the TUE eiCOTT ACT AN illAGTOIS, The temperance people of Halton are this week .holding an immense picnic, having speakers from, all over the country present,.
