IN 1873 there was capital to the exten
of $77,694,020 invested in manufacturin
in Canada. In 1881 the amount hacl bee
increased, in consequence of the Nationa
Policy, to the handsome sum of $165,
302,623, or more' than double. Yet th
Reform party ask the electors to condemi
a Government whose policy has done so
much for Canada. Can it be that the
electors of North Middlesex and South
Perth will vote against Coughlin and
Sharp, and thus help destroy their own
country.
A Scott Act Convention was held at
Clinton, on the 21st ult., and, judging
from the tone of the proceedings, one
would
incline to the belief that it was
convened forthe purpose of furthering
the cause of Gritism rather than Temper-
ance. Resolutions were passed, if not
directly requesting the electors to vote

for Edward Blake, they were akin to it.
The intentions of the promoters may have
been good enough, but the resolutions,
as framed, have a very partizian face, and
will tend to injure temperance rather
than promote the good cause.
What has Mr. Trow eves done
for Perth ? Nothing. Why not
send a representative there who
will work in the interests or the I
Riding ? Vote for Sharp.
ME. JOHN Muni, of the township of

The, past has

taught us that protection is vastly benefi-
cial to all. There night be some possi-
bility of free trade benefitting the world
if all boundary lines were.obliterated, and
the whole civilized world were one nation
with no hostile interests. But as Canada
stands to, -day, with a powerful rival na-
tion as a neighbor, whose every interest
is carefully protected by the Government,
her ruin will date front the adoption of
free trade. Vote for Coughlin and. Sharp,.
who support the National Policy Govern-
ment.
THERE neyer was a time at which the
English Parliament was so split up into
factions as it is to -day. The English
Conservatives who follow Lord Salisbury
number 300, but of these from sixteen to
twenty, if not more, will enter Lord
Randolph Churchill's "cave. The Irish
Conservatives are fifteen strong. The
Liberal Unionists; under Lord Hart-
ington, are about seventy, and the
Radical Unionists, under Mr. Chamber-
lain, about seven. All these are nomin-
ally Ministerialists, so that Lord Salisbury
has on pltper a following of about 400 in
a House of 670. The Gladstone Liberals
are 190 strong and the Parnellities eighty-
five. And yet the Government's position
is considered most uncertain.
Electors, Mr. Trow lives out=
side the lidding. Vote for Sharp
who is a resident.
Sir Jonah Macdonald has not added one

'MEMORIAL.
The County of Huron Scott du Association
in convention assembled, by this. memorial
beg to represent as follows :
1. That the second part of the Canada
Temperance Act, 1878, has been brought into
I force in the county of Huron, by the will of
the people expressed at the • polls.
2. Titat the only person, at present avail-
able, before whom prosecutions may be
brought are mayors of the towns of the coup.
ty and the J. Ps. of the ()minty, from whom
au appeal has to the quarter er
r sessions so
of the
care o
ft
P he county.
3, That in the est Ridin g of the County
there are only one or two J. Ps. who will ()on
sent to hear cases ander the Act. So far as
is known there are no J. Ps. in the South
Ridings, before whom the:Inspector can lay
informations, and in the East Riding there
are only one or two. '
4. There have been Police Magistrates ap-
pointed in the East and South Ridings of the
county, by the Provincial Government, but,
owing to a recent decision of Mr. Justine Ar-
mour, they have no jurisdiction sitting alone
to hear and determine oases under the Scott
Aot,
5. No person has a right to be asked to
assume the grave responsibilities and the ar-
duous duties of Police Magistrate,, for the whale
of this large county, without salary, and we
believa no one can be' secured for such a
position, without some fair remuneration.
6. The representatives of the county have
already'recoinmended the appointment of a
Police Magistrate with salary. That recom-
mendation has never been enforced, and it is
now the bounden duty of the representatives
of the county to repeat and enforce the re-
commendation already made.
7. No such appointment, can, under the
existing state of the law, be made without
each a recommendation from the County
Council of a county.
8. The county, by virtue of an order in
council passed by the Dominion Government,
now receives intro its treasury all fines and
penalties collected under the provisions of
the said Act, and thereby the county is legal-
ly, as well as morally, responsible for the due
enforcement of the Act in the county.
9. Itis believed that all the:expenses in-
curred by the county, in the event of such
an appo.ntment, would be more than met by
the amonnt which would Be saved by such
an appointment, in the fines which would
accrue, the saving of posts of appeal, and in
the hearing of potty criminal cases which eau
be heard before such a Police Magistrate 1n
interest,.per head of tie population was.
in that year, $1.59. It is precisely the A
same now. The finances of the country of
have been managed with extraordinary
skill and economy by the Conservative of
party. In spite of the interest per head sn
remaining stationery for eight years, au
there is scarcely a county from Halifax to Su
Vancouver that hes not been improved ex
by: Dominion Works, such as light- a
houses, harbors, piers, custom -houses, ju
post -offices, railway grants, &c., without vin
end. Yet the Reformers will say that telt
the money has been recklessly spent, or Pe
in other words, thrown away, or put into H
the hands of office -holders.
sol
IT is stated upon good authority, that our tpocu
neighbors, the Yankees, are taking a great
interest in the present Dominion election On
contest, as was the case in .1873, when gov
they strenuously opposed Sir John Mardon- tri
aid and the C. P. R. They now contribute me
money to assist defeat him'atul the Nation- con
al Policy, and feel confident that by de-- t10
feating Sir John Macdonald, they can secure to c
better terms from Mr. B1ake,and thus have an this
opportunity to againnlonopolizeourmarkets. T
They detest Sir John because he stood firm-
ly for the rights of Canada ; because he car- Pore,
ried to completion the C. P• R., stood firm- of t
le by the N. P., opened up the Northwest,
and protected our fisheries—all detrimental of n
to the interests of the United States. The con
press of that country snake the admission. morn
