ENGLAND AND FREE TRADE:
Those gentlemen who vigorously
ooutended during the campaign prece-
ding the late general election that. En-
gland's prosperity was greater under
free trade than it had ever been under
protection, will no doubt be interested
as well as instructed in reading a
speech which appears on the third page
of this issue. It was delivered by Mr.
0. F. Hare, before the Bristol Chamber
of Commerce, in, support of a motion
which he iutended to' bring before the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
Kingdom. The motion was similar in
import, though not iu words, to that
made in the last Parliament of Canada
by Sir John Macdonald. In' support
.of his motion D1r. Hare proved by sta-
tistics that England's exports were fal-
ling off, and her imports' in the same
articles increasing vastly. Tire wise-
acres. whom party fidelity wedded to
free tradeassertedthatasimilar state of
affairs in Canada was so beneficial that
it should be perpetuated, and that the
cliffereuoe between the imports and the
ewer value of the exports just meas-
ured the profits that accrued to Cauad,i
from .this interchange of trade. But
the pooily-informed free tied irs of
England do not view the difference
with the same satisfied air. They re-
gard it as, a, loss instead of profit, age-
ing that the country increases its debt
to that extent, and that the country
fails by the same ttmouat iu matting
the two ends meet. But this must be
illy, for have not the free traders of
this Dominion said so ? And who are
wiser iu their own conceit than
they ? Mr. Hare poiuted ant that the
workmen of England were idle because
the country was filled with goods man-
ufactured in foreign countries by for-
eign workmen, while the productions
of her own looms, and furnaces, and
try and impoverishes it to that extent,
the goods wearing out and having to be
replaced, and their price again and
again drained from;he couutry, instead
of remaining in it and stimulating
hope enterprise, and going from em-
ployer to employed, and backend forth
among all classes and conditions of
people, and leaviug eomfort and happi-
ness in its trail', England is an in-
teusely free trade country; it is the
birthplace and cradle of free trade, and
in that system the people have been
taught to place unyielding faith; but
the fact that a motion such as that to
which we refer could come within two
votes of being carried in that hotbed in
which free trade is generated, is snfh•
chant to prove that a revulsion of feel-
ing is Doming over the people concern-
ing this all-important quuestion. They
have had experience end they find it to
have too dearly purchased, and are
striving for a change that will place
them on an equality with the other
nations of the earth iu their trade rela-
tions and enable theta to furnish em-
ployment to those who are now suffer-
ing untold miseries for want of work.,

believes, should have the work divided
betweeu there, and thitsreduce to a
minimum the post of Provincial Gov-
ernmeut. The idea is worth a thought,
even if it is treasonable.
OUR sleepy Clinton contemporary

honor of au acquaintance with the two

the fact that in intellect Mr. Jacksot.,
is to Mr. Bishop is a giant is to a
pigmy. Speaking of Mr, Bishop's ult•n-
tal capacity is too good 'a joke to be
loot. From the comparison Mr. Juek-
sou has no need to shrink. In fact,
we doubt whether there is a member
of the Assembly better posted on Pro

noon sessiou were conducted by Rev.
Mr. Davis. The President-elect then
gave his address, which wale inteutiy
listened to. The discussion relating to
the " Discourageulents of teachers, and
how to meet them," was opened by T.
Werry, jr., who dwelt ou the uecessity
of the teacher suli'dnting self,. showing
that the more of Christ they possessed
the less they would be troubled with
self and selfish principles. Rev. Mr.
Butcher followed, and poiuted out that
the remedy suggested by the previous
speaker bad stood the test of 2,000 •
years au•d never failed. The discussion
was taken part in by a number of dele-
gates. The regularity of teachers was
the next subject diseusNed, being iuttu-
duced by 'Der. Snell, trho deprecated
