The London Fret Pressloth.: extent of a half -column or more. replies to a recent article in 1 he .Sig ,st on the subject of power rates and defends the present sys- lens as opt:used to the system of uniform rates proposed by the Goderich Board of Trade. Much of what The Free Press says is irrelevant oc has already been discussed: but there is on sew suggestion: Goderich. with the consumption power that the steel mills will bring. ma become one of the cheapest power centr in the Province. and in that event th advantage belongs orimanly to Goderic munictattiesiII share I; 10 th extent that the increased load decrease the eeneral cost of transmission. It ha been estimated that Codench would hat a rate of $19 per horsepower. Condon is PaYMIZ 121. but our consumption only ..400 horsepower as against a prop able consumption of 20.000 horsepower b She Goderich steel mills. Will Londo fairly ask Godench power consumers t pay more in order that London consum ern may pay less Or Witt each mum cipality be content in the knowledge tha it la, getting power at cost The (Melerich Board of Trade stated that it had commenced the agitation for a uniform rate without selfish purpose, but for the advantage of the whole Prov• ince. to which the power belongs. If, therefore, a turn of events brings Code - ch within the favored circle of lowdate users. the Board will have to stand by its colors even should this attitude seem to be opposed to the imm diate interests of the town. This aspect of the case MAY well be left out of the discussion. If the flat rate is just it should be adopted sith- out reference to the wishes of any par- ticular distnct. T e Free Press evidently- has- failed ao take note of the fact, already panted out by The Signal. that the making of a uniform ra-e would involve only a slight increase in the price now paid by Toronto, Hamilton and other points at that end of the line. s here the consumption of power se great. in order to allow of a comparevly large decrease in the rates at this end. *here power consumption is light. Mr. Hume has hgured out that the aver- age rate paid for Niagara poser Ili $19 53. This s only $3 more than the price to Toronto, but less than holt the rate charged to Godencb. The Free Press has overlooked also the suggestion of The Signal that, instead of increasing the rates at such points as Toronto and Hamilton for the purpoit Of- establishing unifo m pates. the rates at these points re- main stationary for the present, and' reductions in cost as they become possible from time to time be used in reducing the rates wherever they are highest. Thus in time uniformity: of rates might be at- tained. not by increasing, the rates any -where. but be redunng them grad. ually to a ley -el. This would obviate the peril which The Free I'ress sees, that uniform rates might render it impossible , for Hydro to compete with other power in the cities. The point to be borne in mind is that the poser belongs to the Province, and its benefits should be distributed as widely and as equably as is possible through the Provinte. 40•••••••••........"•••••••• ••••• so , ; 47' ,l. -, „ ', • .

The policy of protection is gaining ground even in free trade strongholds.

The strangest thing in this connection is that any Canadian should desire that Britain should adopt protection. It would be one of the sorriest days possible loe Canada, for when, or if. a protectionist party gains the ascendency in Britain' duties will not be levied alone against tioneus would penalize imports frorn foreign goods. The Old Country proteel Canada, just as Canadian protectionists penalize imports from the Old Country. • - - IIIDITSMAL NOTE& Remember the Goderich Exhibition on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next.
