A. T. STSWART, the millionaire meridian of New York. Wednesday, Aug. gist, 1889 A7' IT AGAIN. We did think that the expose of the unreliability of the New Era which appeared in these columua a few week back would have acted as a deterrent to it in future. But we are afraid, as we surmised a few weeks ago, that that journal is incorrigibly mendacious when it treats of politi- cal matters. We had hoped better of it, and wore charitably disposed to charge its unreliability to tho igt- lessness as much as to a desire to yervert the truth. Judge of our surprise then when we found in the Era of last week the following :—"Wo aro continual- ly being told by the super -loyal i)ross that to seek for better relations with the United States would be to 'discriminate against Great Britain,' Will souse of them e;*plajn what kind of discritnihatiou it is that • levied an tt of ge duty of 23 per matt 'on imports from Groat Britain acid 15 por cent from the United Status, as was done last year ou goods entering this country." Tricks and treachery are the prac- `tico of fools who have not sense enough to be honest, says an old writer. Whether this is applicable - to our ootern we shall leave our readers to decide.when wo positively assert and prove there is absolutely no discrimination whatever in the ada. And why 4 Because Britain sent us 80 times snore of that class of goods than did the United States. But there is no Canadian law com• palling Britain to or debarring the United States from selling ua since. They and all other °lessee of goods, come from what country soever they may, are taxed precisely the. sante tariff rate on entering Canada. That British goods pay more duties on coming into Canada than do the goods of the United States, though similar products of each country are taxed at the same rate, is account- ed for by the fact that Britain is a wealthier manufacturing couutry than the United States and produces more goods of a "fancy" class de- norninated " luxuries " than the United States. And the Canadian tariff is framed in the interest of the poor man and to raise a revenue from "luxuries," which the United States are not advanced enough to produce, and consequently cannot sell us ; they, in fact, buy tnost iu this line for their own consump- tion from T,nglend er some etuoi foreign country, A ;anther i&u partisan lie nailed. tariff on goods of similar kinds corning from the United States, Great Britain, Japan or Chili. The evident intention of the journal that published the above extract ie. to convey the impression that Canada charges "23 per cent on imports from Great Britain and 15 per cent on imports from the United States." This is positively false: Canada makes no discrimination, for nor against Great Britain. The goods we import from there are charged precisely the same as from the United States, nothing more, nothing less. The essence of lying is the intent to deceive. The extract wo have given. is. Jesuitically worded to deceive while the writer possibly hugs the. delusion that it has a double entendre. The deception will bo sought to be covered by the chicane answer that because we im- port from Britain moreof"'fhe classes of goods that come under the cate- gory of " luxuries," than we do from the United States, and because the duties are higher on those classes than on the classes we import from the United States—that this is dis- crimination. Let us analyze this falsely alleged "discrimination." Last year we imported froin Britain $137,453 worth of ale which paid about 23 per cent. duty, or $31,915; and we imported- only $46,924 worth from the United States, which paid $14,149 or n fraction over 30 per cent. We have taken the very first arti- cle on official list of imports which shows distinctly, if it be taken as a sample, that the Canadian tariff discriminates against the United Status and in favor of England, because ale imported from the for- mer country averages 30 per cent. duty while ale imported from the lattercountry averages only 23 per cent. duty. But this would be begging the question as the Era has done. For if the United States send us the same class of ale as England their manufactures in that line would pay just the same as similar goods imported from Britain. There is absolutely no discrimin- ation in the rate of duty imposed upon similar goods imported from different countries. The Era or any other paper that asserts there is a discrimination falsifies the record. Then, on the other hand, we im- ported from England last year ailk dress goods to the value of $558,125 which paid a' duty of 30 por cent., or $167,454, while we, imported only $7,855 from°the United States' which, though paying the same rate of duty, only amounted to $2,356. That is, English silks paid 80 times more duty than did the silks of the fruited States on coming into Can- BEGIN AT HOME. Varna. Rev. Mr. Ryan of Florence preached iu St: John's church ou Sabbath evening in the absence of the .pastor, Rev. J. W. Hodgins, who is taking a well-earned holiday up the lakes. Miss Maggie Bird has returned front a three months visit with friends iu Alwonte, Michigan. Mrs. (Rev.) Mooney, and three children, of Kingsville, are visiting at the residence of Mr. Thos. Boles. Mr. Charles Diehl of Portage La Prairie, son of Mr. Jacob Diehl of the fourth concession of Stanley, is visiting home and friends for a short time. He has been a teai- dent of the prairie province for eight year's, ho likes and speaks well of the part he is located in, and says he could not be induced to return here again to live. His wife and son accompany 'him. The educational system of the whole of Canada, .particularly of the Province of Ontario, needs re- modelling. Thorn should be only one system and that the Public School one. No state supported sectarian schools, and no religious dogmas taught in public schools. The Bible 'to bo used as an accepted historical • work the same as any other recognised standard work. To abolish separate schools in the older provinces will require the altering of the organic laws of the union, which no individual province can effect. But a province can regulate under the organic law its school system. There is consider- able improvement needed in our Ontario school system without abol- ishing the law which provides for separate schools, here is work for the equal righters. But they are apparently unequal to the , task. To place Catholic and protestant equal before the law in Ontario would destroy Mr. Mowat, whereas the chief object of the equal righters is to attempt to destroy the Federal Goverument. The equal righters of Ontario bound over the unjuft- ness and inequality -of laws that cru be remedied by`the people of Ontario and skip along to rectify al- leged unequal laws in Quebec where the people o fOntario,have no power, and which righting can only be done by thelegislature of Quebec. Goderich Township. Mr. Eli Bateman has rented ,his farm for five years to Mr. Merrill. Though Mr. Bateman will for a time sojourn in the United States, where he has a stock farm, be has no idea of relinquishing his hold upon his Ontario home, We are '•',an of this for he is a sguiiie man and good citizen, Wednesday morning the barn of Mr. John Woods was struck by lightning and splinters of wood thrown iu various direction, For- tunately no material damage was done though it was a close call. The lightning passed along a manure fork that was standing close by where a horse would have been had he not broken out of the barn. Mr. John Thompson took a run nit toHuron township lust week to see his brother Robert-the.reeve of that municipality, who sustainers such a severe injury to one of his legs a short time ago that it was at one time feared that amputation would have to be resorted to. Fortunately the limb will be saved, though a large piece of the frontal bone of the lower portion will bo missing. SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES.

As an average yield is three loads to the acre, it will be seen that it is a veryheavy yield. Relgrave. Editor News -Record. SIR.—On looking over your issue of the 14th inst., I notice an account of a baseball match played between Clinton and Belgrave which seems to be . particularly noted for its men• dacity and distortion of facts. Indeed the communication is the last resort of a defeated and terribly mortified club and the attempt to excuse them- selves by such silly nonsense for .bee ing defeated fairly, i -,to say the least, schoolboy and weak in the extreme. In the first place the writer wakes a mistake in the dote. From this I 'infer that he must be one of the players as he does not seem to have got over his "razzlo dazzle" yet. However this isn't to be wondered at. IIe next, in a sneering manner, designates the club as •"the unions of Wingham, Belgrave and vicinity." Note there was no one man playing f or Belgrave who u'as not a bona fide ntern- ber of the club and had practiced with the club, Wingham having no regular team this season. Mooney and Duf- field wanted to play with us and have !played with us- 11 they con- sider residence in Belgrave a necee- eery qualification for membership why didn't they object to Budge and they two Agnews .who spend most of their time in Clinton. These men have not only lived in Clinton but have played with the Clinton club, and all the victories placed to the credit of the Clinton B. B. C. were not won by Clinton, but by the un-, ions of Clinton and Belgrave. In fact they don't believe they can do anything without us, for have they not offered Duffield what he wanted to pitch them to victory in a coming match. t However, we are charitable and don't mind helping a weak town. As regards Mooney's poor playine I will just Bay that Belgrave was satis- fied with it while Clinton wasn't. A man who could catch a high foul fly with a mob of Goths and Waboos around him, who did everything but knock the ball out of bis hand, is not to be picked up every day. There is one great difference between Mooney and Quigley, Clinton's catcher, Mooney plays with his hands and not with his feet, in other words keeps quiet. Your informant says that Mr. Sterling, the umpire, was very rank and that there was considerable kicking. While not ad- mitting the rankness we quite agree with him concerning the kicking. Indeed kicking seems natural to the Clinton players as I saw them play- ing once before when they fairly hooted an umpire off the field. It was true what one of the Clinton players said after the game, that the only way they could possibly win was by kicking. The umpire is accused of ignorance of the rulee, lle at least knew more about the game than the man who wanted to umpire with him. Whoever beard of two umpires at one and the same time? In fact Mr. Sterlinggknew a little too much for the Clinton club with all their sharpness. As regards the crowd I will first say if that is a fair repre- sentation of what Clinton can turn out the town must be going to the dogs. Hoping you will give this publicity. I remain, Yours, etc., VAN. VANNORMAN Captain Belgrave B. B.

His proper name was Joseph Queen and he was undoub- tedly the oldest man in the State, being one hundred and twelve years years old. He was born in Virginia in 1777, and the fact is recorded in faded old characters iri an old family Bible.
