As Canada, rIngiand, and the States are engaged in imoinfitetures of a einilanature, we as a young people, and but jovonile in the inanufitaturing line, require mere protection than We present enjoy. It may be said that. our manufactiires were doing remarka- bly well under their present prOteetion, and ,that fiirther proteetionis runs -woes_ sexy ; aleo that we are DOW ale t Q compete with any ether. country. It must be borne in mind that there was. ithlteet a protective tariff against Arneli- cell goods miming te 'our 'srtarketS Wages were higher in the States than in Canada, and nearly every article of food or dress was from fifty to seventy-five per cent. more in the Ste*. Thus, adding this: cost to the duty of fifteen per cent„ the margin of profit remains oe the wrong side, and gives us a pro- teetion of at least ninety per eent. against the American manufactures. But as our neighbors are now on the eve .of a change, it behoves us to look to our own industry. As we are destined to become the manufacturing ()entre for the great nor: -west' and can our mane- facthrers compete with the'Americans in such articles as hardware (bothehelf •and heavy), while we have only fifteen per tient. duty, While they, on the other hand, have imposed about forty or fifty per cent. We cannot deny the fact, that we are powerless to sell to such ad- vantage as they will, now that they know their soundings. They will, no, doubt, try to make Canada their vent- age ground, and to gain suchtheirevery American characteristic will 'make itself known. This they will do to get rid of their sm•plus stock. Cotton goods will also be affected, and the result will be that WO shall be run out of our own market, and the shutting up of our fac- tories will soon follow, and our mechan- ics go elsewhere for employment. Such, we • say, will be the result if we allow the small duty we have to remain as it is. For our part; we advocate protection thus far; impose a duty upon everyeliing ilia:Ported from a foreign country that we ere able to raise or manufacture' our: selves, and admit at a nominal duty that which we cannotpeoduce. As En- gland has ceded the right to all her self- governing colonies to impose whatever duties they think fit, no time Should be lost by the present Administration in calling the House together and giving that protection which will keep our in- dustries allye andwhichever party may be in power, to them will we accredit it. .rolitics in Municipal Elections.

We have only to look at the adjoiniug township of Stephen for ft case in point. Last year, about ten days previous to the nomination, the so. celled Reformers met at Crediton and proceeded to discusSthe probability of securing the whole number of township fficers to their party (the previous year two of their number had seats ifa the Council) and without any reference to men's qualifications made their se- 'eeeions, having but one object in view, mely, that of securing in every case.e 'geed 'sound Grit. •Whei 'these 'facts ev(pre made public, we believe some of de Conservatives decided that, as the qJrits had thrown down the gauntlet, t ey would meet deem on their ground, 'NO: 'eh was accordingly done.

The American 0011greSS 111.1110 reede one a list of eonditions, the sum and sub- stance of which mean war, and unless Spain has a very narrow baelibone, she' will BOt be soon to take it up. The Government at Madrid has answered those conditions in a inanner which shows an m2(1004104 opinion, They con- sider that the Virginius was not an American vessel at all, dIld as such Was not 1,101(1011 to AmetiOan laws; that ele belonged to the insurrectionists ; aid that she had, at different times sailed under foreign colors ; also that she had not cleared. an American port at the time of her departure for Cuban waters. Internal, dissensions will considerably weaken the Spanish strength ebroad. The Oastelar Government gives Orders, the Madrid authorities renew them, and the Cuban authorities disobey them. This is about how the matter stands. Report says Msulte were heaped upon Gen. Sioldes, the American Minister at Spain, and that this alone will cause a rupture. ,The Government does all it caff to protect him, There can be no doubt but that Spain will subserve many things to accomplish her end with the States—peace. The Cubans are doing their best to rid themselves of the Span- ish yoke, and make every effort td cre- ate sympathy. The United. States now seem, prepared for any emergency, and President Grant says if he were a priv- ate citizen, and saw what is now going onin the navy yards hewould thinkwar was on the programme, and that if he has not saicl in his address that war was the intention it was because he did not know what words to use. If Spain continues at the downward course of re- peletance she has commenced, it is like- ly the affair will end in arbitration, the Emperor of Germany to be arbitrator. • Hinting at Rribenj. In the Globe of Monday last we find these words used in an article on the contest in Lennox. • After roundly abus- ing Sir John Macdonald, he tells the electors of Lennox that "the position Of Finance Minister is next to being "Prime Minister of the Dominion, and it is no small, thing for a riding to "know that the representative it sends "to Parliament .controls the finames of "the Dominion." Just now the Do- minion treasury is pretty well filled with the sayings of the late Govern-. mene, and this is a significant hint that Mr. Cartwright will make use of the stamps amongst his constituents to se- cure his return, and his election expen- ses can come under the heading of "miscellaneous" or "dry -goods," or "furniture," We are loth to believe that the pure and holy Globe would throw out such hints as lo , kir. Cart- wright controlling the finances, of the Dominion: "and all the impertant in. terests thereunto appertaining." .4f - ter the great cry that he ha's, been mak- ing over ther‘perty of cortuption,"'one would naturally suppose that he would be the last to induce electors to "touch "the unclean thing." But this "hint- "ing" will have but little effect, as both Reformers and Conservatives seem uni- ted to place Mr. Hooper triumphantly at the head of•the poll on Saturday next. • THE ittariftoarm. Since the failure of the Jay Cooke te: Co. Bank in the States, considerable have been the rumors current respect- ing cortain railroads, and the effect it Would have upon -Allis road and upon that road. Interested parties 'have d'effuld themselves busy in regard to cir- culating rumors and others have ;bus. lect theinselves in dein their utm.ost to depredate the value of the .London, Huron & Bruce railway in the eyes of the English stook -holders of the Great Western. For a time this may have hadeits effect but onlyof a temporary nature.Those residing along the line may rely Ou what we say in regard to the early completion of the line, and by August next, the time which we before stated, we will, no doubt, , hear, the shrill whistle of the iron horse as he en- ters the corporation ,precincts. We have withheld saying anything ''upon , this matter for the past few weeks, a- waiting something more definite, and can now say that all necessaries cur- rent, to delay, ,have • been completed, and Mr, Hendriewill commence work immediately. Even should the Great Western desire to withdraw from • its engagement—of which we have our doubt—the directors of the London road are of that, staunch and persever- ing nature that they will not cast aside tho inducements offered by the Govern - Mont and. the various mimic ipal but will engine/it them, and construct the road upon an independent principle should sucli be necessary.

Mr. Greenway will resume his seat as Reeve without eposition. His services in the County Council are too well ap- preciated to ha,vethem thrust ruthlessly aside. Mr. Fulton will be opposed by Mr. Parsons, as Deputy-Reeae, but will have all his old friends and -many new ones to support him. ME. Parsons however, is a strong opponent,' and a man not to be frowned at. Mr. • Mol - lard, were he in it position to:run, would retain his seat. The ether councillors will go in without much op- position. In Usborne, Mr. Bishop teal continue in office. There tsno one spoken ofas yet to . take Mr. Willis' place as deputy. He vacates his office this year, after seasons of toil, and giv- ing many advantages to the township. The councillors will likely reniain as they now are.

THEIR PROSPECTS, ETC E. DREW'S CABINET WARE ROOMS.• This largo establishment which really is a credit to our town, from its zone - medal importance, is situated on the west side of Main street, to the rear of Mace's Grocery Store. We unliesi. eetingly Aver that but few villages of the size of Exeter can boast of so many really first-class cabinet ware -rooms. Mr.. Drew was rather reluctant in giv— ing us infornartion, as he expressed himself not wholly satisfied with the crude state into which the selling of his show -rooms had thrown him. So, thus far, Mr, Drew must be excused. It had been this gentleman's intentions owing to in—health to dispose of his factory but being -unable to do this with antis- fedi= to himself, he decided to con- tinue in the business, although having disposed of his show -rooms. Every article which he has for sale has been made on the premises, with the except- ion of cane -seated chairs, which it pays better to purchase in another market. We were shown a quantity of settees, which were being made for the Free Masons, of Parkhill and Odd Fellows of the same place, also some chairs, which to say the least, were really magni— ficent. We were not astonished to know that the carving, ,teimming etc., were done here, where we saw in every department the number of machines which were in motion. We have no doubt these chairs will prove an excel lent advertising medium. Besides the cabinet making, Mr. Drew carries on the business of builder in all its branch- es. He has finished several buildings the past summer. The number of men employed varies from nine to fifteen. He is now busily engaged in getting a larger engine to replace his srualler one which is not sufficient to drive the new machinery he propoies putting up in the Oring. ,The front street will as— sume a different- aspect: We would not be at all surprised if the Hon. Louis Riel. the member for Provendier, is the rock upon which the Blake -Mackenzie Administration is to splitOur readers will doubtless recollect the (lobe's blood -thirsty yearnings for the Capture d Biel. Its judgement pronounced in no dubious stram that he should be taken rigot away and hanged fst the murder of Scott. In fact there was no one so ferocious in its fury as the Glebe.
