THE WARDENSHIP.
'There is not, we believe, any member
Ii. ot.the County Council elect mere en•
Wiled to the position of Warden than
fur A.. McMurchie, Reeve of Clinton.—
$ s knowledge of County Council mat•
;tars is fully as extensive, if not more so
than the majority of the members,
wbile�he makes an excellent presiding
' officer, and as the honor has never come
to Clinton, we think the council would
•. be doing a graceful act by electing Mr
:MoMurchie.
Frieutlly Hui t to the
Godericli Signal.
After reading two or three paragraphs
lately appearing in the Goderioh Signal,
'we are not at all surprised that for
` r ,sometime back there has been amongst
r
even its friends a great want of confid.
once in a large part of what its Colum
contain. Judged by these paragraphs
•the opinions of its editor, anc� •what he
' " writes of local import, sl
,r(ould be re•
I .I ceived with a very le�grain of salt.—
''' Ire resent eas}e �•tions Concerning the re•
. moval o;�Doherty.Organ Company,
e consequent loss of populatic n
�}ef':and its references to the departure
p'1 organ Factory employees for Godo.
sI, Mich, are simply false. It will, perhaps,
"'" surprise the Signal to learn that whe-
\4:, `, •'cher the London bonus carried or not,
:1,' . there was no intention whatever on the
i' part of Doherty & Co. to remove their
'� ` -" works from Clinton. The rejection of
�.d_;. the bonus in London gives us now a
'.;y;;•' chance to secure, besides the Organ
`'r.`:; Factory, a Piano Factory on a large
,.
scale, employing a great marry hands.
The number of Organ employees go-
ing to Goderich from -Clinton, is very
few indeed, and in every case new hands
r :.
r'-. are brought from elsewhere to fill their
,5' places. We are always sorry when any
` of our citizens leave rte, but as there is
', constantly an interchange going on be -
,y2 E%
!"a. - tween the Organ employees of the Do-
E , herty Co., and the Bell Co., of Guelph,
y� 'and the factories of Woodstock, so, no
P ul�,,
doubt, the same thing will pro a true of
the faotor,y ai Goderich an our own,
",,-; :and these others as well.
,,t We are indeed proud of the fact that
. ': the only thing Goderich can boast of
•: within a period of many years, is a fac.
w ` , tory planned by Clinton brains, mana-
:t' fed by Clinton hands, and built partly
with Clinton capital.
' Now, friend Signal, let us give you.a
, � . ' .few facts which we would -not mention
�,? . but for your own stupid bumptiousness.
In the last ten years the assessed value
of Clinton has steadil increased ever
1 4; Y Y
;u' year, but to -day the assessed valy of
;,j,,;; Gloderich is less than it was ten years
K"� , ago. The equalized assessed value of
z Clinton by the County Council has in
",' , , . the same period been several times
f,,''
„_ raised ; the equalized assessed value of
*•`{,' Goderich has been lowered. The popu-
:; • lotion of Clinton to -day is greater than
` . it was ten years ago; the population of
:.
;' Goderich is less. Goderich a few years
,;,,, r ago had two deputy reeves, now it has
` ;,,,,, only one because of its less number of
- . ratepayers. Clinton irl a year or two
I--, will have a second deputy. Goderich
has a large debt, Clinton scarcely any.
Clinton has a Collegiate Institute, Code-
.';' I ch'a common High School. Goderich
assessment and taxation are so high as
1; _'i;
a to frighten peopftt, Clinton's assessment
;,11j"` � is just .and taxation low. Clinton has
e ,. two Organ Factories booming for all
they are worth; Goderich is making an
l+a ; uncertain attempt to have one. Clinton
"`lliis a magnificently equipped foundry,
but One Goderich has is trying to leave
r; for some other place, where it would be
'. likely to do some bus#ness; and so on to
,;y=Mthe end of the chapter.
`1'` J'aets Which Must be Faced.
The people of the United States
boast that that they can wipe out their
" national indebtedness in two years.
..Whether this boast is justified by facts
6r riot there is no doubt, at all events,
i-Ab&J the Republic is reducing their ob.
,, ,'' Jigationa very rapidly. Canadians can-
`: not afford to close their eyes to these
things. We are necessarily affected by
the positionof our neighbors in matters
.of finance and trade. The immense
'i`'".debt which hung as a millstone about
y' , o neek of the young Republic was
.. then considered a strong argument
agairs J1.nnexation. But aside from
;'' this view of the case, the relative finan.
.^' cial standing of the two countries must
:lave a owerful influence in attracting
irtlilligrTtion. Tho people of, Europe

can redeem itself is for the people to

Soi-ie Pointe for the Signal
From the minutes of the County
Council for June in 1880 and 1889, we
glean the following:-
1880—Total value Equalization
Goderich..$1,136,810 $1,065,000
Clinton .. 538,990 450,000
1889—Total value Equalizatinu
Goderioh . , $1,091,350 $875.,8,00
Clinton .. 595,410 . • ' u41,830
Goderioh in r.9 years dee,-reased its total
value $45,460, and_ its equalization
$189,700. Clintr,n in the same period
increased i ; total value $56,420, and its
equaliza tibn $91,000. i
Ipe1880 Messrs Garrow, Johnston and
Detlor represented Godericli in the
County Council. In 1889, owing to de-
creased population, it has only a Reeve
and one Deputy.
The Exodus.
The Empire, one of the"worst bar-
gains Sir John ever got for hie money,
takes great pains to keep its readers
informed about the decay of agriculture
in New England States. It doesnot ap-
pear to see that the failure of the
farmers there to hold their own against
Western competition and foriegn com-
petition, is docisive proof that the
home -market theory of protectionists is
an illusion. For surely if protection is
capable of helping the farmer, it ought,
at least, to have saved him from wreck
and ruin in New England, which is the
chief seat of American manufactures.
Judge Nott, a New England man, who
seems to have studied the subject with
care, says the high tariff has distinctly
injured agriculture there. The farmer.
he says, was so fascinated by the
picture which the high -tariff men drew
for him of the benefits that would accrue
to him from having "a factory at his
door" to consume his produce, that he
0
never thou ht of askui what the
other
g n
effects would be. He has now found,
after thirty years' experience, that
"the factory at his door" does not con-
sume leis produce, while it enticed away
from the land the laboring youth of
both sexes, so that he can get nobody
to help him in his fields, or his wife in
her kitchen. •
The -Empire imagines that the move-
mentlof the agricultural population
from New England to the Western
prairies is a fair set-off to the exodus of
farmers and farmers' sons from Ontar-
io. Even if this were true it, would be
poor consolation for the farmers re
maining here, wfio, with wheat at 80
cents and barley at 35, are compelled
to pay tribute on everything they use
and wear, from a woollen shirt to a keg
of nails, to the infant industries which
have established the Empire in the
hope of being able to -keep the people
in a state of fog a little while longer.
B ut, as everybody knows. there is a
wide difference between the exodus
from New England and the exodus
from Ontario. The New England
f a rmers are not crowding into Canada
or going to any other foriegn land ,
they are simply moving from one
point of the United States to another,
and continue as before to pay taxes to
Uncle Sam, and to aid in developing
the country. The exodus from Ontar-
io, on the other hand, isnot a migration
but an emigration. The people depart
from Canada never to come back, save
perhaps to induce their friends and
relations to pull up stakes and go, too.
The Conservative press should leave
the New England question alone. As
leas been said, the condition of things
there proves to a demonstration that
protection does not protect the farmer
even where factories adjoin hie farm,
from which it is fair to infer that it ie
not competent t0 benefit him any-

Mr Wm. Grabam, of St. Mary's lost
last week four valuable horses which he
was importing from Scotland. Hialoas
is estimated at over $5,000. Mr Grabam
has been rather unlucky with a similar
misfortune.
Dr F£fard, a prominent French-Ca-
nadian doctor at St. Boniface, died
under eculiar it

He had been drinking heavilyjfor some
time, and it is thought had taken a dose
of chloral t$ help to sober up. He was
found in a dying condition, and every
