Prosperity is measured, not by ex- ports, but by home consumption. In Free Trade times the constable and the sheriff are always prosperous. To buy cheap and sell dear, we must buy raw material and sell finished com- modities. Taxes on tea and coffee would }i'ro- tect no Canadian industry. Hence their free admission urider the N. P. No farrd products from ;he United States are cheap that tend to leave Canadian products rotting in the fleld and nothing from Europe is cheap that creates idleness at home. The number of both sexes employed on the land, in England and Wales in 1861, was 2,010,454; in 1891 the number was 980,278 or less than one-half not- withstanding an increase of over 8,000,- 000 in population. Papers that are now endeavoring to prove that Sir John Macdonald was not a protectionist have repeatedly de- clared during the past fifteen years that Sir John was a protectionist. They were eitber insincere all those years or are dishonest now. Mur'cleeer•s Shortis, Ilolmes and Dur- rant have all been convicted during the past week, and now the Hyaena broth- ers are on trial for their 1. a'es A streak t5f justice"eeerhs to have loomed up at last. CUpip lis tafiidaVery wi l'w always deterroloed Free Traders. A tariff is a tax upon us when levied on goods we cannot produce. The wan who must go to market pays the price of getting there. Free Trade tends to degrade all labor to the level of the lowest in the world. Diversity of industries and combina- tion of action result from protection. The nation which begins exporting its raw material, ends by exporting its men. Meri are driven from a country which denies therm diversified indus- tries. A tariff for revenue and not for pro- tection, taxes the food of the working man. What Free Trade does for agricul- ture is to convert consumers into com- petitors. Is it proper. for Government to main- tain a school, and absurd for Govern- ment to maintain a factory? In Free Trade England there were in 1800, according to a parliamentary return, 1,028 strikes and lock -outs, af- fecting 892,981 persons. In the city of Leeds, one of Free Trade England's great manufacturing centres with a population of over 203,- 000 not a single workman owns the house which covers his bead. Let us control our own markets and maintain the opportunities labor has enjoyed under the National Policy. Any party which does not insist upon giving our own people large opportuni- ties fur work in preference to foreigners is false in its professions of patriotism. The Grit papers are terribly anxious for more population—for more immi- gration. At the same time they are printing column after column of lugu- brious rot to show the immigrant that Canada is no place for him. It is to be hoped that the Grit cam- paign minstrels will not sing the chor- us, "To banish bribery boodlers most loyally we stand," anywhere within hearing of the Hon. Mr. Harty, or J. Israel Tarte. Those gentlemen might think ita personal reflection. Within . one year after the Free Trade victory in the United States in November, 1892, the cry of the work- ingmen was : "We have our old dinner pails, but where is the dinner that Free Trade promised us ?" And, echo answered, Where 1 The Globe and Mitchell Recorder acre endeavoring to prove to their own satisfaction that the late Sir John A. Macdonald was not a protectionist and take exception to an editorial in Tria NEWS -RECORD of October 23rd. It will now be in order for the Globe and Recorder to swallow many past edi- torial utterances in these respective papers from 1873 up to 1895. All' the Globe and Recorder require to de is to consult the files of their own papers and they will find that they And even Goldwin Smith will be refuted. The doctrine of Free Trade is a de- lightful theory, but it resembles the de- ceptive mirage of the desert. When the weal y traveller lifts his eyes and sees waving palms, snowy awnings, emerald grasses and sparkling foun- tains he is enchanted by the lovely vis- io❑ ; but, alas ! he soon finds to his sor- row that the unfruitful and barren waste is a dread reality. A free and untrammelled inte-coursebetwern na- tions is a dream, a beautiful dream it may be, yet, nevertheless, only a dream. Man is by nature selfish, and we are compelled by environment and the stern necessities of life to serve our- selves first and other nations after- ward ; and so the mirage of Free Trade quickly vanishes, swept ruthlessly sway by the hot and stifling winds of realism. We notice a court case from a neigh boring township tried in Goderich where one neighbor, as the result of an old quarrel, felled the other with a stick. Prom all the particulars it would appear that the act was deliber- ate if not premeditated. In order that the accused might be dealt with by the court leniently a petition is circu- lated and of course is signed by many. The principle is wrong and should not be countenanced. Such cases should be adjudged strictly in accordance with the evidence and the law be allowed a free course. These cases of brutality, manslaughter and murder are becom- ing too common and in every case sim- ple British justice should he vindicat- ed. Half the people who sign a peti- tion do not know whether it. is to hang a man, send him to prision, or for the liberation of some actual or would -lie criminal. Petitions ih many cases are not worth the paper they occupy. Morris. NOTES.—There died on the 5th line, on Tuesday, Mr. James Baines.

R. employees who were repairing the elevator at the dock, have completd the job. The men seem to have made an excellent foundation for the old building. HuNTINa DEER.—Previous to the open season there was a deer along the lake shore between Goderich and Sheppardton. On the first a number of Goderich and Colborne sportsmen started after his deership, but so far the animal is unhurt. SAND BARS. -.-The past few weeks sand from the beach has been filling up the harbor between the piers at a great rate. If the foundation of a bar or bars is to be prevented a sand fence should be built along the beach inside the south pier. SHOOTING i+XPEDITION.- OnWednes- day morning Messrs. W. Butson, W. Shannon, F. Pretty and O. Penning- ton left for the Bruce Peninsula on a deer hunting expedition. Theirchosen location is Johnston's'Harbor for which they left by way of Wiarton. WHY NoT?—Some time since it was intimated that before winter carne the land that separates 'the harbor piers from the river would be levelled and planted with trees, but so far the pro- posed good work has not been com- menced.

THE ODDFELLOWS PHOTOED.—SaI- lows photoed his brother Oddfellows last Thursday evening, the result being a nice group. The picture, aflash light one, shows that we need not go out of town for that style of work. ROUGH WEATHER AND FISHING.— The tug Evelyn was out on Thursday and lifted nets off Point Clark. The nets bad been in the water several weeks, and Thursday was the first day since their sinking that a tug could go out to raise them. HOT TEA AND ENTERTAINMENT.— The King's Daughters will have a hot tea and entertaininent in the lecture room of Knox church to -morrow, Thursday, evening. The programme will be a good one, and the tea, from 5 to 7, will please everybody. LAID UP FOR WINTER.—Durin• Wednesday night the schooner Tod man, captain Alex. Lawson, reached this port from Sarnia, light, and on Thursday her canvass was taken off and placed in her winter berth. WHERE TO INVEST.—ln your last issue it was stated that '1 Ir. Weismiller was going into business in either Clin- ton or Goderich. Kindly' draw his attention to our bicycle company, for ten thousand i" that would be an ex- cellent business investment. FOOT BALL.—The Model School students and Collegiate Institute pupils played a game at foot -ball on the Agricultural Park grounds last Saturday afternoon. The gauze, although spiritedly contested, was all through favorable to the Model School and ended in favor of its students by 3 to 0. TRE HARBOR ISLAND.—A corres- pondent writing from the North West with reference to the proposed im- provements to the harbor island, says: "The citizens committee are the people. I always thought, and often remarked, that the beach would make a fine park and had I been home I should have . been pleased to help dig and plant down there. It will he a splendid place in summer after the trees have grown." FAVORED TIiEBovIN ES. —Ha1Iow'een, as usual, was made the excuse for annoying residents by moving gates and other articles and hiding them away. The tun in moving gates is in favor of the cows, for in many in- stances lawns were badly injured by Goderich bovines in their endeavor to get a square meal without expense to their owners. SENT ENCED.—Chas. McPhee, who was before His Honor Judge Doyle on Tuesday, on acharge of assaulting and doing bodily harm to Alex. Glenn, was up on Friday for sentence and fined fifty dollars and costs, fifty-flve dollars, and in default of payment three months imprisonment with hard labor.

DESPERATE BURGLARS.—On Friday morning week about one o'clock burg- lars effected an entrance into the flour- ing mill of Messrs. Rollins & Williams, Exeter, and with tools from Brand's blacksmith shop, had destroyed the door of the safe, when the night watch, Mr. Thos. Bissett, sr., carne along and stopped proceedings. Mr. Bisset was on one of his beats, accompanied by his faithful dog. When nearing the mill, the dog was seen to attack a man stooped behind a set of steps leading :.o the office door. The man was the guard for those inside. Mr. Bissett went to investigate the dog's attrac- tion, when the man jumped at his', and seizing him by the throat placed a revolver in his face and dared him to utter a word. Possessed of a plucky nature, Mr. Bissett grabbed his man and could have captured him had not the other two inen appeared on the scene. They threatened Mr. Bissett and tried to induce hire into the mill, but he was flan, and although they battered his bead with a chub, cutting it severely, he fought them, and with the aid of his dog made it so hot for them that they were no doubt glad to escape. The alarm was soon given and the neighborhood scoured, but no trace of the would-be burglars could be found. Mr. Bissett could identify them. The safe was badly damaged and when disturbed the burglars had almost accomplished their wo"k. There was over $15 in change in the vault. Mr. Bissett says be was taken by such surprise that he d'd not rer.lize his dangerous situation until the scramble was over. He carr ies a very sore head from injuries made by his own baton which was carried away by the eul- pri ts. Varna. ACCIDENT.—Our esteemed tailor and barber, Mr. W. A.

FOWL SUPPER.—On Tuesday even- ing a large number of the Royal Temn- lars with their invited guests met rn the Temperauce Hall to do ample jus- tice to a number of bipeds which had been secured for the occasion.

After the in- ner man bad been fully satisfied a very appropriate program followed, consist- ing of mudical and literary selections interspersed with speeches and bril- liant witticism. The evening as a whole was spent very profitably; The grave of the late Hon. Honore Mercier at Montreal was decorated with flowers on Friday, the anniver- sary of his burial. reoa Get a Suit fog your boy Get a Suit for yourself •11: All at Wholesale Prices` here As we are going out of the Clothing Business. 0 GILROY & WISEMAN: Syrup of Tar and Wild Cherry has the largest sale of any Cough Mixture in this locality.
