NORTE ORTARID OBSERVER PGRT PERRY, APRIL 18, 1804. Patrons of Industry. Canada is very decidedly an Agri- cultural Country and the Agricultural community otcupy a prominent posi- tion in the more importunt walks of life. They supply the bone and sinew of the country, provide ns food and raiment, pay the greater portion of the taxes and furnish the greater part of the funds which keep the ship of state afloat. 1f the country in misgoverned the tarmers béar the greater part of the loss ; but hitherto they have had a very small direct influence on the govern- ment of the country. The agricul turists as a clase have stood by from year to year and watched the two old parties, tories and grits, monkeying with the Government of the country. Where tories are in power the Govern ment is run by the tories and for the tories, and no grit need apply, and where grits are in power, the Govern- ment is run by the grits and for the grits and no teryfpeed apply. Thus the coun f nel ation' to ger 3 n x: serted by bothtori es'and grits that the country has been run into the ground. The farmers who are the chief pay- masters and have the greatest stake in the country, becoming tired of looking lielplessly on while the two parties fought for the loaves and fishes of office to the detriment of the country. Hence the formation of Farmers' Associations under the highly appropriate name of "Patrons of Industry" which should keep clear of and have no connection with either of the old political parties. The Patrons' platform is perfectly dis- tinct from and in several features op- posed to the platform of both tories grits. The Patron Order had only to make known its prenciples and when thousands of the best men in the land, the industrious stalwart farmers rushed under its banner ; and now the Patrons of Industry is the most import- ant Order in the country and destined in the near future to prove a blessing to the people by theqgreat and much The old parties look with a certnin degree needed reforms they will secure, of alarm on the noble young order which has sprung up as it were in » day, but not daring to cross swords with the young giant cach of the old parties pretend thatthey could discover |a family likeness, the grits claim the that their platforms are identical, while the Patrons as brothers and assert tories try to make the Patrons believe that Patron synonymous terms. and Tory are nearly Here is the rock lon which the Patrons will founder if they identify themselves with either party. At the late session of the Pat ron Grand Lodge members of the order were forbidden to take the platform in advocasy of any candidate for Parlia- mentary honors who is not a member of the Patron Order. the politicians are getting in their work, Here is where they are trying to'make the Patrons believe that the demand is arbitary. The demand is both wise and prudent. As neither of the old parties legislate in the best in. Patrons they say that terests of the country and therefore their claim to the position of wegislator should not Le urged by Patrons. If a Patron is in the field he should have the active support of Patrons, but if po Patrons is in field, then Patrons should give their support to which ever candidate they cousider will make the best representative but that support should Le on the principle of two evils choose the 1f Patrons don the regalia of either of the old parties they less. will soon lose their identy and drift into the old rut of party politics. To Keep Them Honest. Mr; Mulock bas a bill before Parlin: went making it illegal for any railway to carry any member of Parliament at adess rate thun that charged for carry- ing any other individual. The Lill ia intended to do away with an abomin- ably fraudulent practice said to be in- dulged in by a large nuwber if nota wajority of hon. members of parlia- 1t is claimed that certain mem bors get free passes on the railways taking them to Ottawa ai the open- of the session and retarning them these men draw mileage from the country for both going to parliament and returning from it. © Hence any member who gets a free pass and charges his mileage besides is de- frauding the country out of theamount of the mileage whatever that may be, and be tho sum large or smaliitisa most severely. A member who is capable of defrauding the country is unworthy of the position of M. P, and should be dragged from bis seat. The mileage is not such a trifle, it amounts Ther {0 Wie bowes at lhe clown. Bat|nioney ha need for, still the generous taxpayers pay then $1000 each for two or ihree mopths service, and also pay their traveling expenses going and return- ing. It would be too ccntemptible for any nan pretending to be an M.P. to clan traveling expenses when it cost him nothing, Some hon, menm® bers may assert that if the railway officials choose to give free rides itis their own GJhusiness. It is not their own business, the Canadian taxpayers have fuily loaded our railways with extravagant grants, and if these roads can afford to carry their pets free lit thém reduce the fares and give all alife a chance. One would suppose that in a House dubbing itself honor. able Mr, Mulock's Lill unanimous support, will have a Kickers. * The late occupant of the office of Stamp Distributor at Osgoode Hall, Toronto, having been removed by death, his lucrative position ($3,000) a yeur became vacant, The office is the gift of Sir Oliver Mowat and the whole pack of office hunters are on the still hunt, but are afraid lest Oliver should drop the plum into the mouth of his son, and a general kick is being organized, but Toronto kickers never kick at the right time nor in the right place. They assert that the salary is ridiculously high in proportion to the duties of the offce, but little will be said of the high salary until the ap- pointwent is made, and then the disap- pointed ones will do the kicking. Now is the time to attack the salary before the appointment is made. Why pay $3,000 for an office for which one- fourth of the sum would Lea fair suary? So long as the country permits an army of officials to draw extravagant salaries, so Jong will favoritism and grab-rule reign in high places, nepotism, Sieg oe Ce A+*Change Required. Mr. Charlton's bill now before parlia- ment' demands the abolition of the Federal Franchise Act, as being extra- vagantly costly and altogether unneces- as the Provincial Acts serve every purpose better and save the vast expense connected with the Fed- Act. We think all will admit that if Provincial Franchise Acts were all that they ought to be there would be no necessity for a Federal Act. Provincial - Franchise Acts should be got up as they ought to be and made | perfectly uniform throughout, then a | Federal Frauchise Act would be an un- costly toy. sary, wou'd eral necessary, Why not per- fect the Provincial Acts and abolish tho Federal and its great expense? 'Why should not the provinces agree to a uniform Franchise Act. then no Fed: eral Act would be required and all its costs and frappings would be avoided, and at least half a million of dollars wowdd be saved to the Dominion at every Federal election, More Doctors.

While financial disaster has overtaken the trade of nearly every country in the world, Canada has pros- pered, and the year 1893 gives the un- equafed record of the high water mark of Canadian commerce, with a volume of trade of over $247,000,000. Compare this showing with the dark days of deficits and decreased trade under Cartwright's rule, and no lover of our country will desire to see a re- turn of the "fly-upon-the-wheel" policy. Our total trade the last year of the Re form administration only amounted to $153,000,000, although when they went into power it was $217,000,000, a reduction of $64,000,000. Thus, during the five years that our affairs were directed by Sir Richard, he sue- ceeded in reducing our trade $64,000, 000, and the present Administration have increased it in a period of fifteen yenrs by somcthing like $94,000,000, Canadians are returning in thousands from the United States to live in Can ada, and 1t is with pride that we-point to the record that Cannd®ins sufely sailed through one of the greatest com- The Government is mercial storms in modern times, policy of the present Cunadian to the core and nppeals to the highest aspirations of Canadian citizenship.

The principals fu the lingual tournament were sn Mr. Brown and a Armstrong. The latter is a well known and highly respected gentleman, who has long been a resident of the Yillage, has acted his ship, Prince Albert ki hing of the import, and, of course, did not know how to rate him, but from this time forth they will konw how to rato him. In days gone hy when villagers met they acted us neigh- bors .and discussed current topics in a manly, intelligent manner, without any dis- play of the juveterate crank who is always a disturber of peace and good fellowship. But when Armstrong met Brown, the late import, very different feelings were mani- fested, and, ere the bystanders werz aware, a flaming war of words was raging between the combatants, and as the tongue cuts deeper than the sword some. ugly gashes were made by both parties. Whether Brown got the worst of it or not the vill agers don't care straw, it always takes two to make a rangle and if he had kept put of it there would have been none. If he did get the worst of it why shonld he further insult the village by going all around howl- ing for law to heal the wounds received in an unseemly squabble, If such rumpuses are in his line Prince Albert is not the place for him, he had better return to Manchester if they ean accommodate him.
