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. Bet little .rt, we are infnrrned, was made to merely iM the list.

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. dMMSImeIP deedtNLdieidesi well is allowed by Uig voeintisw to pat more salt ou the oertet far this rsement year, and by the alriopust stinessaimili of these reels - WIN fibs MIS maria asturers are enabled m eatibbelm y Prate; Gtliseish has not exhibited so progres- sive a spirit es mac, of ita neighbors.

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 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 HURON CJUNTY TOWN.

A number of flags floated from prominent huildings, and the townspeople were most cordial and cour- teous in the reception accorded the visitors, Among the first t , greet the Londoners ware a number of the London and A y I tiler bicyclists who had ridden over from their headquarters, the universe ly popular Point Farm, in the morning. The party comprised J. McCullogh and Geo. Cox, of Ooderich; J. B. Moore, of Striated; Perry Doolittle, of Aylmer, and C. B. Keenleyside and W. M. Begg of London. The boys left the city at kalf-past fire o'clock on Friday evening. and made Lunn for supper; then rode to Exeter, a distance of thirteen miles, after dark, without lanterns, which they regard as a high complirbent to the read over which they travelled. They reach- ed Goderich next day for dinner, and then proceeded to the Point Farm, hav- ing dune the whole distance --- seventy miles - in eight hours.

The captain removed his passen- gers to an island by small boats, the Take being aha, and then proceeded to light- en the ship. About 700 barrels of flour anti two syr heads of wool are reported to hart been thrown overboard before the vessel 'fleeted. After exam' ' g pumps etc., and finding that the hull had received no serisme damage, the passengers again embarked, and the steamer continued her trip down the lake one lneesda , and passing w , arriving at the danal about 7 P Y, i g the river at daylight next morning. The passengers, among whom there appeared quite a panic when the vessel struck the reef, speak very highly of the order maintained by the officers and crew dur- a trying hour, the y >; h r, and also of their kindness and cnsideratien for their pas- sengers.

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. ADMIRAL HOeaINs' REPORT. London, Aug. 20. -Admiral Hoskins, commanding, reports: -Port Said, Aug. 20, 7 a. m. --We made all our arrange- ments yesterday for an advance, Com- mander Edwards, with the boats of the squadron, during the night occupied the canal, taking possession ot the dredges, barges, etc. He also occupied Kantera before daylight.

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 on the lute up n• 7.agizi.', h•v again ad- 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.

Alexandria, Aug 23. -The Austrian gunboat Nautilus, bound fr•m Port. Said to Alexandra, passed Aboukir on Monday. The commander, Peeing a white flag flying on the Aboukir farts, supposed they were in the possession of the British, and sent a boat ashore with an officer and 12 men, who were suede prisoners by the Egyptians.
