And they would support Retaliation and Rod Parloriam if the tory government at Ottawa decide to fight it out on that line, rather than meet the new democratic government on the other side in a sincere and friendly efl‘ort to re- move trade barriers. The Red Parlor does not want to have trade barriers re- moved; they have got a goodthmgfl mighty good thingâ€"and they mean to keepon enjoying it- Thfit is. ifthey can persuade the tory farmer: to help them, and the tory farmers will no doubt cane up cheerfully to the polls when the oldflag inwaved and vote to maintain the Bed Parlor at the expense of the people.

These steps are to be taken be- cause the municipal lists next year will form the basis of the Dominion lists, and if , a good deal of preliminary “stuffing” can bedone in a quiet way, some import- ant advantages will be gained. There are numerous local indications that steps are being taken in this county ‘ to steal a march on the reformers, and we feel it to be our duty to warn our friends to be on their guard in every municipality. Politics should not be the controlling question ,in municipal affairs; but when an organized attempt is made all over the province to gain an important party advantage our friends should take proper measures to defeat the scheme. The Dominion franchise is a ventious and troublesome afi'air, and should be swept away. An easy, simple and inexpensive form of registration should be devised and adopted, one that would take in the latest qualified voters, so that the list would not be filled with dead men and absentees. It should adopt the principle of one-man-one-vote. Then both parties would stand on an even footing. We TORYPLANS T0 CAPTURE THE VOTERS’ L18 TS.

Some are of t e lopinion that by so doing. they benefit thereby. Others prefer to handle standard and staple lines. upon which. although the profit is small. the turnover is much eater; and in the aggregate. profit larger; not taking into consideration the fact that it is much easier and less expen- sive, and more satisfactory to sell sta le lines than those that are unknown. he consumer unfortunately does not under ‘ stand that when he enquires for a certain class of goods and is informed that they ‘ "have none in stock." or “are just out.“ I or “we don't handle them" (which are] remarks frequently made by dealers). that their object is to push articles that paya larger profit. To the the thinking public it is obvious that the the consumerisa loser thereby. and that in order that he should get the best value obtainable for his money, he should insist upon having standard and staple lines. It is a we known and indisputable fact that the celebrated brands of cigars “La Flora” (manufactured from the cream of the Havana crops). "El Padre,” "Madre E Hija." and "Cable Extra’ (our new line). "Kickers.” and "Mungos" are standard and staple goods; and are manufactured under conditions which for the production of a first class article in every respect are unexcelled.

The Loubet ministry has been turned out because it hesitated about a thorough investigation, and the new Ribot govern. ment is pledged to a searchingenquiry.

Mr. Blake presented the portrait of Mr. Gladstone painted by Mr. Forbes on the commission of the liberals of Canada. The unveiling took place at a crowded banquet of the National Liberal Club. Lord Roseberry presided. Mr. Blakes speech was ve eloquent and was re- peatedly cheere Hon. G. W. Ross was present and made a short and eloquent address. Mr. Gladstone wasgreatlypleas- ed with the picture and demonstration. The Philadelphia Times says the repub- lican campaign fund in the recent presi- dental election was $3,000.000, while the democratic fund was only a million and a quarter. The benchers of the Ontario law society on Friday last decided that ladies may enter for examinations and may practice law in the province. It was decided on a tie, and Sir Oliver Mowst is said to have cast the deciding vote. {makes the whole matter worse is the neglect of the agricultural department at Ottawa, after the failure of two-rowed barley is generally acknowledged by those who have tried it, to correct: the error into which it has led the farmers.” There is no doubt that the Cleveland regime will abolish the McKinley bill, and with it the barley duty will go back to 10¢. if not to a lower figure. It therefore becomes the duty of the Ottawa government to remove the retaliatory features of their tariff next session, if they do not go farther. grain. Shipments of Canada two-rowed barley sent to England have been used as feed. In Canada, too, many farmers who have grown it have had to use it to feed their stock. It is not worth at Ontario points within 12 cents of the highest grade of Canada. six-rowed barley. and has been selling on the farmers’ market in Toronto every day this week at less than 40 cents per bushel. Local dealers who buy it take it for feed barley, and pay ‘ feed barley prices for it. The crop occu- pied valuable acreage that might have been devoted to the production of some saleable cereal. Shippers were misled as ‘ to its exportable value. All this might have been avoided if the government had first tried the grain on its experimental farm. The farmers are now aware of the true value of two rowed barley, and are convinced that the product of the seed they boubht can find no such market as the government represented. What tion of a large local gain buyer, phoed his trust in two-rowed barley, end who now found himself badly left. Therein many farmers in that predicament. The Globe in its trade review last Ssturdsy thus discusses the unfortunste Intention: “Ontario farmers have been the victims of an unfortunate delusion in the mtter of two-rowed barley. They were sup- plied with two-rowed barley seed by the Ottawa government, and told that they would find a. good market in England for the product. Now they find that the grain is almost unsaleable. There is no export demand for it, and Toronto brew- ers will not have it at any price. It was tried by some city brewers, but it was found that the beer mode from it would not keep. {The old country brewers for whom the Canadian farmers, at the instigation of the Dominion government, undertook to grow it, will not buy the EDITORIAL NO TEE.

Not- withstanding thie the market was heavy. a large amount of long wheat coming out. and the close was the lowest at the day.

Sir John Thompson no Premier. [To the Editorot Tm: Poe-n] As itis now a foregone conclusion that Sir John Thompson is premier of our Dominion. the question arises, "What comes next.” Some may think it not necessary to protest against the now existing state of stairs. Rome can well say that she has Protestantism in her own hands. Reicrmers dare not speak. for they, with their conservative friends, are new led by Rome. Are Protestants not asleep? It must be admitted that we have not been alive to our own interestsâ€"we have let our politics lead us away irom our duty to this Dominion. Even now we hear Orangemen who hold some oi the highest l oflioes in the gift of the society state that I the Orangeman who will say anything against Sir John Thompson on account of his religion is violating his obli‘ation. I believe this to be an attempt to close them oil from raising their protests. I am free to state here that I have taken the declxrs- tion of an Orsnzemsn and I understand the same, and believe that on questions of this kind we, as a society, have a right to be first to raise our voices against our present premier on account or his relrglous belief. Will not every sane man, be he reformer or conservative. admit that it is another handing over to Rome a right which ought not to be given up in any such way. Now, as an Orangemas, I would not wish to see an Urangeman as our premierâ€"that would look like intoler~ anee towards our Roman Catholic citizens. Is not this Dominion Protestant? Com- paratively speaking. it is. Well then. why not place a Protestant as leader of the present government? Rome has not for- gotten her dream of dictating to the world while we Protestants a e asleep. - WILLIAM Tnomunr. Glenarm. Dec. 14th. 1893. I COMMERCIAL NEWS. COMMUNICA T10 NS. Chase and Swim-11..
