FREE TRADE IN THE UNITEi)
STATES.
Diesatisfactivu with the high tariff is
steadily growing in the neighboring Re
public. The people there are beginuing-
to see that they hare been placing bur-
dens upon themselve in order to facili-
tate progress, and that nuking them-
selves richer by statute and the customs
house is a delusion. In Detroit two
hundred and fifty leading citizens have
made a platfonn, every plank of which
is solid and sound, and we are of opin-
ion that thousands of intelligent and re-
presentative men will be fotmd in other
parts of the United States who will -be
eager to stand upon so honest and sub-
stantial a structure. If is composed of
the following planks:
1. That a protective tariff, like slavery,
is a relic of a barbarous age, and that to
t uy in the cheapest and sell in the dear-
est market is the inalienable right of
every maw. The only tariff on imperta
which should ever be tolerated by • free
people, is a tariff strictly for revenue.
2. That the ereateet burden now
borne by the American people is the un-
just, unequal and iniquttious system of
taxation called a protective tariff. It is
nothing more nor less than a bonus given
to a pnviliged class of manufacturers, to
pay which bonus the fond, clothing and
shelter of the cast majority are unjustly
taxed.
3. That an intelligent revenue reform
10 the direction of free trade would
actually benefit a large majority of
manufacturers by widening the markets
and reducing the cost of materials.
4. That the protective tax oppresses
thb farmer and laborer, destroys our
merchant marine, breeds and enriches
monopolies and impoverishes the poor.
5. That our present tariff, leading as
it does to lobbying and extravagance, is
one great cause of official corruption.
While we are earnestly in favor of a
radical reform of the civil service, we be-
lieve that the abolition of the protective
features of our tariff will work a great
practical improvement in that direc-
tion.
6. That thu merchants, manufacturers
and laboring amen of this district are es-
pecially interested in a policy which
would break down the wall now closing
in one side of Detroit and make our city,
what it should already be, the commer-
cial center of western Ontario" and
Michigan.
N1'e therefore demend that at the ear-
liest practicable moment, tour govern-
ment shall commence negotiations for a
reciprocity treaty pith Canada, that
every incumbrance t Ainerictn ship-
ping shall be immediately removed, and
that the reduction of existing import
duties shall be ineeediately commenced
and steadily c•.ntiuue 1 until every so-
called protective feature is eliminated.
Thirty years atop it became necessary
to organize a new party. for the one ob-
ject of abelishing slavery. it has now
become necessary to organize a new party
for the one ehject of abolishing a pro.•
tective tariff, which e'p;.resee' mere pee
ple than did slavery. "
Speaking of the ai_uers, the Detroit
Ne 401 says:
"The character et t'•e two hundred
and fifty names appended to the address
lifts the movement at .u.:0 out of the re-
gion,of experiment, and gives it body
and force. They.are not, as will be ale
served, p'diticians or office seekers. Al-
most every one of then can be recoglliz-
ed at siege as that of one of Detre it's
best class .d citizens. They are for the
moat part careful and couservatiro men
of business, who are innnersed in. their
own affairs, and have neither timeenor
disposition to meddle in the vulgar
t'cramble fur office, of which the contests
between the old parties usually consist.
They are nevertheless men alio have a
large stake in the commercial and indus-
trial interests of the cemmnnity, and
who rifrain from political action usually
only because there is nothing in usual
political issues which concerns those in-
terests. They lay aside their apathy
now,becanse they are at last presented
with a prorgramme which promisee to ad-
dress itself to those interests in the
most direct and practical manner. Be-
ing men who have built up their own
fortunes by their own elf •rts, they recog-
nise that trade and industry do not de-
pend for their prosperity iron the all 1.1
government, nu: find the ha. heat and
beet tierelepment, in absolute free-
dom fr.m government interference.
They knew that if left shone by govern-
ment men will buy and sell where there
is most pr"tit. and that. in altsolnte lib
arty of individual action lies the surest
road to indit ideal and general success.
There is in such an issue something
which comes nearer to the interests of
men than the mere ousting of one set of
political hacks for the substitution of an-
other, and it is no Mnre than might doe
expected that it would bring to the front
a ,Bens of men who rarely appear in pol-
itics.

Ties Tories are so determined that
Dominion and Provincial politics" should
be kept separate, thet a meeting of the
followers of the Dominion Premier and
the leader of the Opposition in the Le-
gislatutt•bes been called iur tbe 13th of
Sipternber; in Toronto, to deride upon
the best means of defeating the excel-
lent Government led by Mr. Mowat.
Consistency may be a virtue, but it is
never an essential requisite with the
Tory politician.
Ir now turns out that the party debts
said to have been saddled upon Hon. A.
Mackenzie personally were paid toff
several'years ago. It showsthe hypnocrisy
otithe Tory press in making so much &de
about the matter, when we call to mind
the fact that the U. E. club, the Tory
hatchery carried on for years eo extra-
vagantly, and used as the headquarters
for the " gentleman's party,' failed
miserably to pays its debts, and was
closed by the sheriff's officer. It is now
in order to uk if these debts have been
paid.
Tea latest Tory candidate for political
honors in West Huron is Mr. Richard
Jewell,of Ashfield. Mr. Jewell was the
accidental Reeve of Colborne on one oc-
casion, and believes himself to be the
coming man in West Huron, in conse-
quence. He believes the Colborne vote
would be solid in his favor, and Ash-
field -well, to hear him talk you would
imagine that he had the ele;toral voice
of Ashfield stowed carefully away in his
vest pocket. This bright, particular
Jewell would make a brilliant orniment
on the Tory side of the House were he
elected. As a neighbor of his remarked,
"He's a dazzler, is Dick."
Tett onerous duties of postmaster -Gen-
eral must be of an arduous nature, in-
deed. Senator Campbell found them
too many for him. Then Hon. John 0' -
Conner was appointed, and the duties al-
most put the "kybosh" on John O'C.-
as that gentleman would remark in his
native tongue. Just before the recent
election things looked sultry for Hon.
John Carling in London, and he was
appointed Postmaster -General, so that
the prestige of the Cabinet position
might tide him over the political Rubi-
con. And it did. But the election is
over, the purpose has been served, and
" Honest John" would fain lay down
the burden ot the Postmaster -General-
ship. A new incumbent will I* now in
order. Superintending "dead" letters
must be an unhealthy busineos s hen
$8,000 a year will not tempt a Paan to
hold it for any length of time.
THE belligerent attitude of the Tore
press in this Province now that the elec-
tions are to be held next year. and their
pretended anxiety to have the fight come
off sooner. reminds us of the bully wh,
prancing up to a sober -looking citizen,
shook his fist under the other's nose,
and bawled out, "1 can walk all around f
you in Iess'n a minute." The sober -
looking citizen quietly drew off, and
caught the prancer under the ear, send-
ing him very suddenly and helplessly to
grass. The bully picked himself up and
backed off, saying, " I +didn't say I
could tick you; I only said I could imaa
all (nefuel .you." The Tories after the
coming c.ntest, as at the last Provincial
election, will say they had no intention
of doing :nuoh, a:though they are now
anxious to "walk all around" their op-
ponents. They will then tell us the
Legislature is only a "big County Court -
and n •t worth bothering about.
We were recently speaking to a par-
liamentary reporter, one of those clear -
het led, practical men who perhaps know
more of the capabilities of our p,litici-
ane than do any other class. "What do
you think of David Blain!' we asked,
after an interesting chat on matters
of a political nature. "Blain is a fellow
who over-estimates himself," was the re-
ply. "He was always co.nplaining,
when in the House, that his speeches
were never reported full enough, and he
grumbled s, repeatedly that to, avoid his'
growls he was often given mere space
then we thought he was worthy o1. He
thinks he has not been sufficiently no-
ticed, and as he is at enmity with the
Howland family. the retnrn 4,1 Sir W. .
Howland to the Liberal ranks, and
that person'. warm reception by He.n. F.
Rieke, have completely turned Blain .
against the Reform leader. •Thea thing
has been eimmerirg ,far sone .time."
Mr. Blain is airing his grievances n ,w
t nr two reasons. (t) Hatred of the
Howland*, and (2) Hie desire to be
noticed by the public. There is • thins
reason, which has been alluded to by
some of our cmtemptaries, and of j
which we were told months before the
appearance of Mr Rlain's egotistical let-
ters.

Outside of the salt iuterast the town has
scarcely an euterprise of even local im-

The harbor, which some years ago was
alive with steamers and small craft uf every
description, is latterly but the ghost of
its old self. and yesterday only one fish-
ing smack was observed apparently pin-
ing in irksome isolation on the boeoin of
the inviting waters. This is, however,
with the exception of the steamer Man4-
tubs, of the Beatty Line, which called
at the harbor 011 its down trip to Sarnia.
The steamers of this line are the only
ones now calling at Cnderich, and their
calls are but semi-weekly, and if the
difficulty of securing lalte excursions by
the holiday taker and picnicker were
obviated Goderich would rapidly p.pu-
lar:ze as a summer resort.
In Tae SIoeAL and Star Goderich has
two well-conducted and largely circula-
ted weekly newspapers, and if, as is not
infrequently done, the outsider estimates
the local importance of the place by the
character of its press, the town certainly
will not suffer in comparison with any of
its neighbors.
The Londoners reached home at
about .10 p. m. and the almost universal
testimony esu that an enjoyable day had
been spent. and that the citizens of
Goderich and the Grand Trunk officials
had not been unmindful of the duo de-
mands of hospitality.

Orange Nina Green.
The b,hof now in regard to Orapge in-
corporation is that Sir John Macdonald
will not be able to grant the promised
Ad, on account of the hostility to
Orangeiam that exists in Quebec. The
argument now advanced is that Orange
ineorpo;atron is a purely provincial sub-
ject, and must be dealt with by the pre-
vinces. Quebec has dealt with it by
declaring Orange societies illegal, and if
Sir John were to override the Provincial
Act by passing a Dominion Act there
would be trouble in Quebec. His French
Catholic supporters would not submit to
it. The lies to be followed now is this:
Sir John expects the Orange and Catho-
lic elements to combine in opposition to
Mr. Mowat, and by turning him out
and putting the Conservatives in there
would be no dtficnity in getting the
desired lit passed

a Major. He is an In'sh Catholic, and
was born in Dublin in 1833. He enter-
ed the 80th Regiment of Infantry as

A WARNING FROM ARAB1.
New York, Aug. 19.-A United Press
cable from Alexandria says it is reported
Arabi has warned all Europeans in Cairo
that he would not longer be responsible
for their safety, as all the soldiers
and polite now doing duty in the city
would be rwiuired for active service at
the front. This is thought to portend a
speedy engagement with the British.

NATURDAY'e sa1RMINH.
In the skirmish yesterday the Egyp-
tians tired shrwpwell shells ineffectively
at the outpost, the Forty-aixth Infantry
occupying temporary entrenchments.
The Egyptian infantry then advanced
within 800 yards, coming from Kafr-el-
Dwar. Some cavalry also appeared from
the direction of Aboukir. The Egyptian
lilies were most irregular, some men be-
ing tpparently unarmed. The cavalry
were also confused from the restlessness
of their horses. About five o'clock the
British ironclad train sent a car with a
forty -pounder, detached and sent forty
yards in advance of the engine; tired two
shells upon the Egyptians, who endeav-
ored to execute a flanking movement..
The forty -pounder, after this movement
was frustrated, fired towards Kefr-el-
Dwar. The Egyptians replied with
shell, which burnt between the train and
the engine. The train then retired,
firing. During the retreat another shell
exploded near thetrain between therails.
The train finally retired without damage.
The British infantry meanwhile fired
from the entrenchments, causing great
lose. That of the Egyptian ayslry is
estimated at 300. Fighting ceased at
sunset.
ARABI RESUMES HIS OLD POSITION.
Alexandria, Aug. 22. -The smoke of
numerous trains is again visible behind
the enemy's lines. The activity of Arabi
has increased in a manner indicating a
complete change of his plans. In an
ewer to our reconnoissance to day his
guns opened fire from various directions,
showing that during the night the envoy's
artillery had been much strengthened
It now seems that at the first scare,
caused by the discovery that the fleet
had gone to the Canal, Arabi withdrew
a great prep ortion of ha infantry to
Dananhower, but !sat ni ht..,n ceneid
ening that Route time nets' clipee before
an advance can be in tie trout !eon:alio
with sutticieet force t, c tr;v his defences

vanced to the old position, which he
hopes to hold until the rise of the Nile
will enable 'hint to fl•'o,•1 the coun-
try. To -day as Geri. Weed, with two
captains, was • standine by a clump
of trees in front of the neat ad-
vanced pickets, a shell fell only ten
paces distant and buried itself in the
sand. Wood then climbed a tree, for
the purpose .of staking el -eery atius,
when a areond shell fell just behind the
horses of the officers. The report. that
Arabi had withdrawn a coin iderable
number of troops from our front is in-
correct, On the contrary, the enemy s
