Take 'Yozfr CLolee. The Empire, referring to the attitude of the two political parties, makes the „following statements regarding the platform:--- "To-day the two parties stand otrt Clearly before the people, with directly opposite policies. The Government and the Conservative party stand firm- ly by the principle of moderate pro- tectio icarefully adjusted and changed in application from time to time. The Opposition, on the other hand, wishes ,us to return to the Revenue tariff policy of 1867-79; and to obtain, in addition to that measure, a treaty of unlimited reciprocity with the United States,' It is thus questionable if there ever was a• more distinct issue between the two parties than there is at the present time. A retention of our flexible and moderate tariff, with such amendments as may suit changing circumstances, but always upon a protective, patriotic Canada first basis, as against the ac- ceptance of the old injurious and com- petitive tarriff of 1878." If people are not tired of "moderate protection carefully adjusted" it is pretty dear time they were. Fourteen years experience of it has not by any fulfilled all the promises that were made for it. Look at some of the items upon which there is "moderate protection." On $37,000 worth of im- ported soap Canadians last year paid $10,000. On socks and hosiery the im- ports aggregated $384,000 and the taxes levied amounted to $150,000. This is "moderate protection" with a ven- geance. Last year Foreign yarn was bought by Canadians to the value of $181,000 and $62,000 was paid the Cus- toms' tax collecters to allow it to land on our shores. The Empire, perhaps unintentional- ly, states a truth in saying that ".the parties stand out clearly before the people, with directly opposite policies." They -do. The Liberals advocate tariff - for revenue only . The believe in mak- ing the burdens of- the people as light as possible.'Z•They reason that if a man pays less for customs duties or to pro- tect manufactories, he will be better off and have more money to spend for something else. Yes, the policies are entirely different, and it is for the peo- ple to choose which one they will have. Canada's Cattle Trade. No one in Canada believes- that any Canadian cattle exported to England, were affected with pleuro -pneumonia, and what ever may be the Cause of the F gtisnt-government's action relating to cattle, there is no hope that any cliangVfor-the better will be made, the fallowing telegram from the Globe's London correspondent indicating that all privileges have been withdrawn: - ,..'he board of agriculture has issued an,order, which takes effect forthwith, cancelling the order of April and June securing segregation slaughter for Canadian cattle under special supervi- sion. This withdrawal of special privi- leges from Canadian stock places them on the same footing as United States and other cattle. Swan & Sons, Edin- b4 gh, in their weekly reports says that as the restrictions are to be main- tained an endeavor will be made to have Cananian cattle sent to Yorkhill instead of to Shieldhall, the former be- ing much nearer to the city. As elbowing the effect of the restrictions, the prices realized by Canadian ani- mals are in many eases eighteen shil- lings per hundredweight less than for home -fed cattle of the same quality. In all circles here connected with the trade there is little hope at pi., sent sent felt that thereis any chance ot`an early change in the position that; affairs have now assumed. A press despatch states that "De- positors in the defunct Commercia Bank at Winnipeg are much concerned over the failure." There's nothing eurprising about this. It would be surprising if they were not much con- ned. PEOPLE WHO TRAVEL. -Mg W. E.

St. Thomas Journal: Miss E. Winte- mute left this afternoon to visit the World's Fair. From Chicago she will proceed to her hornein Vancouver, and thence about theend of August to Japan to resume her missionary labor. [But it will not be as Miss Wintemute.] There was a very Wage attendance at Rattenbury street Church, on Sun- day evening last, the occasion being a memorial service. An excellent ser- mon was preached by the pastor, Rev J. W. Holmes, who laid great stress on what should be the course of life and action for the living, as a preparation for that death beyond which there is no opportunity to labor. The Rev John G. Paton, for over thirty years missionary in the New Hebrides Isles, will deliver an address in Willis Church, on Wednesday even- ing, July 19th, at 8 o'clock. This mo- dern missionary has a fascinating story to ,tell of the perils and discour- agements, through which he passed during his residence among the Tan - nese. To listen to him will silence the faithless clamor against missions. All are invited to come and hear him. The financial report of the Ontario Street Methodist Church, Clinton, for the past year, shows that the following amounts were contributed for the va- rious purposes: To quarterly board, $1014.16; to trustee board, $721.09; to mission fund, $168.13; to women's mis sionary society, $43; tosuperanuuation fund, by circuit, $35.34, by Rev. W. Smyth, $32.66; educational fund$37.85; contingent. $5.44; general conference, $7.24; union church relief, $4.10; Sun- day school aid, $1.11; sustentat ion ,5.72; Sunday schools, $195.60; Epworth lea- gue, $84.68; total $2386.12. The financial report of the Ratter: - bury St. Methodist church for the pa -t year shows that the amounts contri- buted to the various funds of the church were as follows: -To mission% $379.25; Superannuation fund, 541.'„i; Educational fund, $78.02; Couti..gent fund, $6.22; General Conference fund, $7.53; tTnion church relief fund, $4.75; Sunday School aid, $3; Sustentation, $5.65; Women's Missionary, $136; Sun- day School, $194; Epworth League, $45. In addition to this the amounts contributed by envelope, loose collec- tions and for pews amounted to $1503.- 25, atotal of $2105.40. - The new pipe organ put in Rotten - bury Street Methodist ohurch, is a fine instrument and very massive in appear- ance. The case is finished in polished oak, and the front pipes, which ate beautifully decorated, are bracketed out in front.of the choir chancel, and completely fill it. Thereat organ, or bottom row of keys, has- connected therewith 406 pipes, and- tie ,swell or- gan, or top row of keys, has 348 pipes, and there are 30 pipes connected with the pedals. In all 784 pipes in the or- gan. The length of the longest pipe is 12 feet, and the diameter of the largest 10 inches. The opening and recital will take place on the 23rd and 24th, not on the 16th and 17th, as before announced The Dundalk Herald of Last week thus alludes to the late pastor of Blyth Methodist church: - "On Thursday eve. lasta large number of friends of the Methodist church gathered at the station to welcome the Rev. Dr. and Mrs Campbell to their new home.. On the arrival of the train they were escorted to the parsonage where tea, prepared by the Ladies Aid, was in waiting. The citizens' band shortly afterwards put in an appearance, and in their usual good style rendered some choice selections. After being thanked cordially by Dr. Campbell, and treated to refreshments by the ladies, they played the National An- them and withdrew. A very pleasant evening was spent. Dr. and Mrs Campbell come to us highly recom- mended and with the best wishes of the whole congregation for future health and prosperity. The garden party, held by the Ladies Aid of St. Paul's church. in the grounds of Mr J. H. Combe, on Friday evening last, was a great success. The evening was lovely. The band from Goderich discoursed sweet music of the simple kind so suited to the occasion, and were highly commended, which con- sidering the extreme youth of many of their numtter, was very flattering. The rounds were illuminated with chinese anterns, under which floated the ++k�ms of daintily dressed ladies in airy fattNrics in divers colors, while the mas- culin�ct" , ment was well represented, though tL sw whose faces we had been wont to se n the past were absent through illn::-•. The crowd was es- iimated at abo four hundred. The usual amount of i reshments had been provided, but the . ening being warns and the crowd so i' eh greater than heretofore, there w , deficiency, for which the ladies did no ail to express their deep regret. The n artgallary, admission five cents for gr , wn up pe6- ple, children free, was one f the chief attractions of the entertainment. Pro- ceeds over seventy dollars. -Coir. Huron Presbytery.

Fully 5,000 people gathered in the cleanly little Huron town to celebrate the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, of whom 2,000 were Orangemen in regalia. The weather was perfection for the purpos- es of the celebration. Exeter, too, was at- tired in her prettiest dress in honor of her visitors, and everything was done to make the day pass off as it did -in a most en- joyable and successful manner. Main street from end to end was marked with handsome arches and buntings stretched across the strset, and from nearly every house in the town flags floated from•flag- poles or hung from the windows. The Trivitt Memorial church chimes were rung the day long, playing sweetly familiar tunes, and the National Anthem inparticnlar, -After -the procession had- reached the grove, Mr Todd, County Master, presid- ed, and called the gathering to order. He welcomed the great crowd to the town of Exeter. The committee had been disap- pointed in some of thespeakers, but had provided a rare treat nevertheless. Ad- dressee were then delivered by Revs. Mr Jackson, Mr McDonagh, Mr E. T. Essay, of London, and H. L. Dickson, of Exeter. AT BLITH. The anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne was right loyally celebrated here. There was over 25 lodges represented from North Huron and Bruce, and over 1,000 people took part in the procession, together with four braise bands and two fife and dram brands. The speakers who took part were: -Mr Mooney, county master; Rev. Thomson. of Kincardine; Rev. Hughes, of Adelaide; Rev. Riley, Brussels, and Rev. McLean, of Blyth. Everything passed off quietly. OUR LETTER BOX. Toronto Correspondence. To the Editor of the Clinton New Era TORONTO, July 11th, 1893. DEAR Snt,- Politica and politicians are taking their summer vacation, and as far se this city is concerned, the street railway dispute with the city, and the Sunday car question have the floor. The manner of handling the matter by the city conned has proven them to be about as. vacillating a lot of men as ever disgraced a counoil chamber, and has left many of them open to the suspicion of having been "influenced" lower down than the place where brains are supposed to be located. Be this as it may, they have turned so many somesaulte that no one kne s, and apparently they do not know themdelves, what they have done, or what they are going to do, One of your town or township councils would have set- tled the matter at'a Bitting. The Sunday car question is, if possible, creating more interest than the street rail- way grab, and the prospects are all in fa- vor of the Sabbath observers. The vote taken less than two years ago left the ad- vocates of the Sunday car service in tt large minority, but they have never ceased to agitate for Sunday oars, and another effort is now being made to seoure them, this time banked by the money and influence of the company. The Sabbath observing ele• went is immensely strong here, and will have no difficulty in defeating the Com- pany and its followers. The vote takes place Aug. 26th, so we have not long to wait. The American Drop reports for July in- dicate that there will be a deficiency, com- pared with last year, of between 75,000,000 and 100,000,000 bushels. As the fall wheat will be harvested at an early date, there may not be much change in these figures, but the spring wheat will have time to improve. The frightfnl loss of life at the Chicago fire, ori the afternoon of the 10th inst. has oast a gloom over the city, and flags are flying at half mast on all the fire halls, as a token of sympathy. The first reports stated that fortyperished, pe ,bat later ao• bonnie-.atate._the number much leas..- An. evening .paper here pays bet eleven were lost. The cattle embargo on Canadian Cattle has talion an unfaborable turn; an Order, withdrawing the apecial privileges in the caro of Canadian cattle, will now place them on the same footing as the United States cattte. This• has already ,reduced prices very materially._ Sir John Tompson" ekrleoti to s lam to Canada by the first week of Auguelf; NQBTffEaN QITT' fto To tic Editor Qt s Clinton; ,wetv+,l r'a, Dlq tie fits;-- I noticed in your issue :o some weeks ago, you reoonrluended Clinton as being the befit plaoe for rehired farwere o- rnth re e t.m o R e to e d ee Rv xn r or y b. Mall•. omenta, end feel jaatiiled is +doing so, avers thengb it is my native flown, But you dR not say where 14 the .beet place for farmers to go to, to put themselvesin a position to retire there, or any other plane, which is of ares importance. I am more than astonished at hearing of so many leaving the western. counties of. Ontario, and going to the North and South- west; taking a long and exponsivo journey, to Beek a better home, before looking over the Pro in v e they!v ' e live in. I now live in Melanothon township, Dafferin Co., only a two days' drive (00 miles) with a horse and rig, from Clinton, and. yet I will venture to. spy. not one in every. hundred of the po u- lation of Huron has the elightest idea what this place is like, or what good farms can be bought for. I consider this township is second to none in Ontario, as a stook rais- ing and dairying township. I have been through the noted blue grass region of Kentucky, but they have not the rich pas, ture there that we have. There seems a something in the soil and climate here, which keeps the grass ever green. Some seven or eight years ago, I used to travel a good bit through the cogntry• with horee and rig, and in the hot weather when pas� tures were burnt up ary in other places, here they seemed always green, this was what induced me to move to.Melanothon some six years ago. Not wishing to • mis- lead anyone, l have said very little of the plane, till I saw how orope.grew, and if the grain got frozen, as Proton township just north of us used to • have the reputation of frozen grain, so,, thirtyflve years ago, had Morris and Wawanoeh. As late as 1860 when I bought wheat in Clinton, I used to dread buying a load from one of those townships, as it was in most cases frozen; now it is a thing of the past. So likewise is it in Proton and Melanothon, with a few exceptions where grain has been put in long after seeding time, it has got nipped with the frost in the fall, but no one need fear their grain getting froeted if it is put in in proper season. Now, without trespaisleg too mach on your space, I would like to point out a few advantages this place has for men of small means, and there alie some in the County of Huron. Men who have mortgages to con- tend with, who could sell out there and siert here efres11 end clear their feet of debt. There are farms here suitable for anyone, as regards size, being in range 50 acres eaoh, next range 58 acres, next 68 acres and next 100 acres. In many cases a person can buy two or three of these small farms side by side. To give an idea of the price of land the farm adjoining me, 58 acres, some improvements can be bought for 5700. The next 116 acres, frame house, good stone cellar and barn, about 100 trees in orchard and probably 20 acres cultivated for 51,500. Opposite is 68 acres, 15 cleared and the balance burnt over and good pas- ture free of stumps, $800. These properties can be bought on easy terms, and are one and a half miles from the thriving village of Dundalk; population 1000, good school and four churches. Railway station, C.P.R telegraph and telephone offices, only 75 miles from Toronto, which gives us the best Market the country has for our produce. The soil is mostly rich clay loam,(slightly rolling; drained by the Grand river, which takes its rise here. I often see you quote the weight -of"some fine stock shipped from Clinton. To let you see that we are not far behind, I clip the following from the Dun- dalk Herald of May l lth:-"Messrs W. & R Fawcett shipped last week, probably the heaviest and best car load of cattle that ever left Dundalk; the car overacted very nearly 1600 lbs. Proton is fast winning a reputa- tion as the beat grazing township in Ontario; we wish the gentlemen success in their business," I thin s, Mr Editor, you will see by the above that we can raise our beef. I could write more fully on our advantages, but have already, I fear, trespassed too much on your space. Any tone wishing any in- formation of the county, climate, deo., can get it by addressing me. Thanking you, Mr Editor, for your space, I remain, yours truly, EDMUND MOUNTOASTLB wee. more than hie dimity could Attend.

Io togtrunvt a o'utruDohp I have confidence enough in there to be- lieve the day isfar distantwhen a widow over severity be compelledto spend several dollars in order that an able bodied man scan secure a.little patch to grow rufous. This is precisely the meaning of the whole Wollner'. If this. is not clearly proved by the• action, of Mr' Patna the thing is a farce, I will give you an idea of the rent., ed value of this disputed piece of land. Land mote in (loderioh township for about two1 dol arsp a nor • one fifth, soit can be piece than Thee whole etreet is worth about thirty nine cents. The pay of that would be 194-o, or in round numbers, the enormous suet of 20: , a large sum Rarely to entree so much talk in our quiet little village. Having thus stated the facts I have but little more to say. No reason can be given why this street should be opened, it can be no accommodation to any one, save and ex- •oept the complainant and to use as I have already stated. If opened to -morrow it would not benefit this community ten cents for the next fifty years. Why 1 should be selected as a target to be tired at is more than most people can understand. If ever opened it must be done by tate own- ers; tenants are not aoncetned in a matter of this kind, and, act a tenant, I should be tree from any annoyance. The council have, I believe, aright to do as they please, the only trouble is the wrong person is attacked. Thanking you kindly for space. I remain, S. PHlrre. 7'o the Editor of the Clinton Nes, Era DEAR Sin, -A description of a football match played in Bayfield on July lst, was given by a Bayfield correspondent in the NEW ERA of last week. I shall not occupy much space in your paper as only facts relating to the game will be news to your readers, and any discussion between the correspondent, who wrote the article, and myself should be private. Your cor- respondent wrote "The first goal was made by Bayfield, and caused some heated dis- cussion, as the referee would not aecept the decision of the umpire." This is al- most entirely incorrect. In the first place, there was no goal scored at that time. In the second place the discussion was not caused es stated. But in the third place your correspondent is correct when he Bays that I would not accept the deoision of the umpire, for 'how could I accept a decision which was not given -which did not exist. The umpire did state that he was in doubt about the course which the ball took, and I have sufficient confidence in hishonesty and firmness to know that he will not change his opinion or his statement. Each team scored one goal, and the match was decided a tie. Yours truly, W. H. BARER, (referee.) THE HOLMESVILLE STREET FIZZLE. To the Editor of the Clinton New Era. I see by your last paper a motion passed by the council of Goderich township order- ing me to open a certain street in Holmes- ville. When I first read it I thought to take no notice, but since have deoided to briefly lay before the readers of your valu- able paper plain statements of the circum- stances and facts which led to the passing of this motion. I will now describe this street; it runs from the Huron road to the railroad, a distance of about fifteen rode. The land on one side is owned by Mr H. B. Evans, the other side is owned by a widow, Mrs Jenkins. The street is entirely held by Mrs Jenkins. This is the place I rent, I may just remark when 1 rented it I was not aware but the street enclosure belong ed to the plane. I was not long kept igno- rance; Mr• Evans gave me to understand that such a thing as a street did exist, and wished me to desist him move his fence on the middle, dividing it equally between the two, This I refused to do as I considered 1 -had no right as a -tenant-to -remove-any boundary fences. t,Vhen he failed to get any assistance to get possession, hie next movo was to Dome over in my absence and plough up a small enolosure used by the former owners as it wood yard and, I be- lieve, occasionally used by Mr Ford to have madam ever night,•ate we required .this petit' 1 refused to •:let •him plant it. • ids tried then torear►de Mie Jenkins to build the fence through to the GI. T, li:i giving him possession of the road nett the rail roof. In this he 6100 failed. Thie 1IB$ NEWS NOTES.
