tatthea upou the jiggers rocks of

teadly exoreaceucw:a of monopolies,
utnhities and trusts which line the
shore of the promised Yankee land
of mtythioal free trade. A land
which, if they could htive entered,
they would have found it populated,
as their own people allege, with
"poor and discontented fermate"
kept so by "139 combines with a
capital of $1,507,000,000 wrung
from the impoverished tonere of
the land."
What arrant nonsense the con-
tinental unionists, commercial au-
ionists, annoxatiotiiste, or whatever
mune admirers of the American 6s•
col policy may be known by, talk
when they palaver of the "free
trade" that wonld exist could they
have Caulyda united to the States
either commercially or politically.
There is not a nation on the face of
the earth that has .ae high e tariff as
has the States. The Canadian
tariff averages 18 per cent on the
groes amount of imports; the Ameri
cantariff averages „40 per cent on
the gross amount of irnpurts. It
would be a curious betterment of
the state of affairs in Canada, if
protection is really burdensome, to
give up our system of tariff which
exacts an average duty of 18 per
cent for the Ameiican tariff which
exacts a duty of 40 per cent. A
few weeks ago we quoted the uncon-
tradicted statement of a writer in
the Michigan Farmer who said that
tire duty on woollen goods going
lute the States was 166' per cent.
The average duty on woollen goods
coming into Cauadx is about 25 per
ceut. And now the Moutreel Wit-
ness quotes an American authority
as saying that linen table goods and
other linen manufactures pay a
duty of 125 per cent ou entering
the United States for consumption.
But though a few people of Can-
ada may be so deceived for o time,
e majority of the people• will not be
deuoived even temporarily, by the
prostitution of the phrase free trade,
into changing our present eyetorn of
moderate protection and its attend•
ant blessiugs for the onerbu,s. and
exhorbitautly high protective system
which a handful of malcontents
would place over us under the
grossly illusive name of "continental
free trade," which simply menus a
system by which. the 60,000,000
people of the lesser part of the con-
tinent would be empowered to tax
the 5,000,000 people of the greater
and best part of the continent twice
as much as we are pow taxed, and
placeus ultimately in 08 helpless
position tee the ' 8,000,000 of the
South and South-western States
who ere the mere serfs of the mann•
faoturiug barona of the North.
Similar goods pay a duty of 25 per
cent on coming into Canada. It
requires no amplification to show
that Canada is a comparatively free
trade country, while the United
States le a very highly protected
one. Yet in the face of these
figures and comparisons the faddists
picture- as their strongest card, the
escape Canada would have from
tariff duties were we commercially
joined to the States where in fact
such an exhorbitant tariff prevails
aa we have pointed out. The Cana-
dian commercial or political union-
ists must have a very poor opinion
of the intelligence of Canadians
when they appeal in the naive of
"free trade" to our people. .This
difference in the tariffs of the two
countries is no theory evolved by
casuistry, sophism, ex -parte state-
ments or special pleading. The
difference is found in actual exist-
ing couditions, which the respective
tariffs of the two countries prove,
and which Can be verified by com-
parison.
Btrnum, with his shrewd observa-
tion of human nature, said -the peo-
ple dearly loved to be hunfbugged.
And he made money by humbugg-
ing them. But Barnum was an
artist. He clothed his deceptions
'so deftly and naturally that even
when the people knew they were
being humbugged they admired the
deception morn than they would
the reality. But the annexation-
ists, commercial or political, are not
artiste. They are very clumsy
botches when they attempt to dis-
guise with free trade garments
their schema filkplacing Canadians
who live undeWt 18 per cent tariff,
under a system] where a 40 per cent
tariff prevails.
The late President Lincoln said
o portion of the people may be de-
ceived for a time, but the whole of
the people oanuut be deceived all
tho time. There may be a few
Canadians that are carried away by
the magic of the name "free trade"
so unblushingly debased by the
high protectionists who advocate for
Canada the teritf of the United
States—a tariff more than twice as
high as the one we now have. These
few may be deceived for a titne by
the brazen effrontery of the class of
free traders who sail in the very
rioketty and utterly unseaworthy
hnlks named "commercial union"
"unrestricted reciprocity" "contin-
ental union" "Annexation" etc.
They may be deceived into taping
passage in these gaudy hulks tinsell-
ed over with the false emblazonry
of free trade. But elite aboard
they will find these hulks the
veriest coffins of their ambition, the
sepulchres of their hopes, cranky to

The Mit-ertell Recorder duan not
seem to "cotton to" the statement of
THE NEwselleoonn that "Cwttiadads
marching on peacefully and .rapidly
to the attainrneut of her perfected
deitiny es an independent nation
within p federated Empire of Brit-
ish nations." The Recorder thiuke
this would be an "unique exist-
ence." if it were such it would be
11011e the worse, and it is our destiny
all the *tame. It has been almost
accomplished too. Canada is'now
virtually an independent Dation
and also part of the British Empire.
And the day is not far distant,
when Canada and all the other out
lying nations, sometimes called the
Greeter 'Britain, will form a tederat
ed Empire somewhat after the plan
of the Uuited States federation,
with at least preferential trade if
not absolute free trade, between the
several colnponent Perm There is
no "impenetrable fog" about this.
This consummation is as clearly
foreshadowed as any unaccoulplished
event can be. We are far more
sanguine about this imperial federa•
tion of the existing independent
British nations than we were about
the federation of the several prow
incee which raised Canada to the
status of a natiou.
T;DITORIAL NOTES.
In spite of the most damning
evidence to the contrary ex -Premier
Mercier, of Quebec has been found
"not guilty" of embezzling $50,000
of Provincial funds. Juries are
queer.
Varying estimates of the number
of Roman Catholi''e in England are
.often given. At the recent meet-
ing of the Catholic Truth Society in
Liverpool, Rev. J. S. Vaughan
stated that out of 29,000,000. of
people in England hardly one and
a half millions professed the ancient
faith.
Charlton Alexander, of Bourbee
County; Kentucky, has just sold
700 head of fine Durham cattle for
$65,000. They will average 1800
lba each and will be shipped to
London, England, where more than
one-half of all the surplus products
of the United States is consumed.
Of coulee England is the beat
market for the surplus faun products
of tho United States and Canada.

Hon. John Carling has shown
admirable promptitude in appoint-
ing a number of veterinary surge—
ons to investigate the localities
where the animals slaughtered in
England came from in Canada, and
they find no such disease as
pleuro -pneumonia to exist. And
Scotch vets declare that the alleged
diseased animals were not affected
by any contagious ailment, some
of them suffering merely from the
effect@ of cold taught by the change
from close quarters on ship board.

GILROY & WISE AN.
Those who advocate commercial
onion with tho States object to be
ing called annexationists. Now
let us 'tee what commercial union
means. It means a oneness of tariff
to prevail over the States and
Canada aeaiust all other portions of
the world, Great Britain,included.
Then the American advocates of the
fad openly assert that commercial
union would result in political
union. That is why they support
it. And the -American C. U'a.
furnish 'the an,mlunitiou for the
Cana:Ian commercial unionists.
It then- goes without saying that a
Canadian C. U. is an annexationist•
Dr. Neill -Cream, who is now under
sentence of death in England for
poisoning women and who was to
have been hanged on Novr. 8, but
has had a respite for one week pend-
ing documents that it is alleged will
prove his insanity, is undoubtedly
e murderer and worthy of death un-
less he was really insane. In the
same way ie a commercial unionist
an annexationist. It is true he
does not come out manfully and say
so, but he does his little best to
bring about annexation by distribut-
ing the poison that would ultimate-
ly cause it if partaken of by a
entftcient number, of the body
politic. Dr. Neill -Cream did not
boldly assert that he was going to
murder his victims but he distribut-
ed his poiaou among thee] with
fatal effects. Thouht ho had not
killed them he would be morally a
murderer for it has been shown that
the effect of his potions, if par-
taken, was necessarily death: It
can easily bo shown that the effects
of the commercial union potion if
taken would be political death for
Canada. Sir Oliver Mowat has
plainly admitted as much. As in
the ease of Dr. Neill -Cream, the
only valid excuse that can be used
agaiust commercial unionists being
convicted as annexationists is that
that they are insane in the matter of
their particular hobby.
At the assizes in Berlin, Ont.
Mr. Moyer, editor of the News of
that place, referred in his paper,
when discussing some town affairs, to
C. F. Brown as "Ahalf-baked, illiter-
ate crank". The jury after eousid•
Bring the nutter acquitted that edi -
tor. Some time ago a h'renchCan-
adian got damages from a rival poli-
tician who called him aFree Mason.
And now the editor of a Montreal
paper has sued a rival editor for
damages for calling bim a Metho-
dist. But the worst of all is the
Toronto Tetegrarn being mulcted,
last week, in 81,000 for publishing
nn alleged libel on Mrs. Oberiner, a
music teacher of that city.
It Pays Others, Why Not YOU ?
Toe Board of Public School T.custeee
met in the Board Room on Monday
evening Mr. Malcomson in the chair and
alt the members present except !deflate.
Ball and Chrystal, rhe report of the
priueipal was read, showing an aggregate
attendance of 014 pupils and an average
t.14V}11{lanco of 517. 1t was ordered to
be filed. The principal reported that
monthly reports were required and that
drinkiug cups, were needed at St, D..vid'a
school, Referred to the Contingent
Com. to procure. The managers of
Knox church s• ut in a communication
respecting the belt in the Gaelic churuh.
The matter was left over for future con-
sideration. An account from Frazer and
Porter was referred back for vouchers,
and another from Brophy $2 50, repairs
to furniture, was referred to Contingent
with power to pay. Applications for
positions on the staff to fill vacancies
were received and read. On motion the
whole stoff were re-engaged at present
salaries with the exception of Mies Cook
and Miss Craigie whose certificates ex-
pire. Mise B. Graham was appointed
junior teacher in St. Patrick's school.
An advertisement was ordered to be in.
eerted in the Globe and Mail for a
teacher to take Miss Cook's room.. The
Board then adjourned.
As to Mr. M. C: Cameron's hon•
orary title of Q. C. or Queen's
Couusel, some confound this with
Crown Counsel which is a purely
business appointment of a tempor-
ary character to conduct criminal
business for the Crown, and for
which the appointee gets well paid.
The title of Qaeen's Counsel is a
purely honorary one, carries with
it no emolument and"the recipient is
entitled to it so long as he engages
in no unprofessional transactions.
If there is anything unbecoming in
accepting a title of honor at the
hands of the Crown Mr. Cameron
is just as touch open to censure aa
Mr. Mowat is. What is sauce for
the goose ought to be sauce for the
gender. Mr. Cameron, Q. C., in
censuring Sir Oliver Mowat cen-
sured himself.

The announcement recently made
public of the transfer of Rev. Mark
Turnbull from Kincardine to take
charge of the church of England at
Goderich was received with regret
by all classes of the community
here. For some years Rev. Mr.
Turnbull has been the faithful
Rector of the Church of the Messi-
ah in this town, and that congrega
tion has shown a marked develop-
ment under his pastorate. Of a
most genial and entertainiug dis-
position, and liberal to a degree in
his attitude towards the other re-
ligious denominations, he soon be-
came and bas remained most popu-
lar with all classert. A man of
very extensive travel and research
and possessing as he does, a fund of
moat varied information, he has
been a useful citizen, and in many
ways a decided acquisition to the
town. The same observation is
equally applicable to his estimable'
wife who is a model help mate to
the Rev. gentleman in his work
and has thoroughly ingratiated her-
self in the good opinions of all who
have met her. Wo feel assured
that they will both carry with them
to their new home the good wishes
of the entire town. The apprecia-
tion of the congregation and the
high estimation in which the Rec.-
tor and his wife are held wore
fittingly testified recently by the
presentation of a very handsome
sideboard and suite of dining chairs
accompanied with an expression of
the deep sense of loss experienced
by their people at their removal.—
