Macâ€" donald and the result of the elections of t)‘xe 17th of September last. The Free Pressis an advocate of free trade, he says, but grounds bis protectionist notions on the supposition, that by the adoption of the Notional Policy, Canada will be able to eompel the United States to adopt a more liberal trade policy. It is quite evident to any reasonable being that such argument is absurdly fullacious. ‘The primary effect of such a course will be to injure ourselves. It will be doing what is vulgarly called "cutting off our noses to spite our faces," and without doing our faces any good whatever. At prosent the United States, in their folly, have eracted one barrier to the Lindrance of a free interchange of camâ€" modities between us, and if we are to folâ€" low their cxample, and erect another barâ€" yier, the trade difficulties will be just so much more increased. The secondary effect of the adoption of the National Policy will be to eause the United States to adopt a fiscal | poliey which will bear still more seriously | upon our industries. Of this we have al.| ready received some forewarning, so that looking at the matter from either point of| view, the adoption of the National Policy | will be suicidal to our industries. « It is expected that the Viectoria Railway will be opened to Haliburton by the 15th inst.

In Canada two languages are generally spokenâ€"â€"the French and the Englishâ€"and although the English « the ruling o 16 even in Lower Canada, still the French holds its ground with wonderâ€" ful tenacity. From a History of Canaâ€" dian Literature lately written by M.Lareau, this would seem to depend as much upon the extent and variety which French literâ€" ture has attuined in Canada, as to the inâ€" herent vitality and expansive power of the languege itseif. _ From this interesting book it appears that although the French people only number one million yet Lower Canada has already given birth to over| three hundred authors in peotry, history, | romance, &¢., many of the works produced being of great merit.

Discouraged with his failure he set out for the Continent and after a variety of adâ€" ventures he enlisted in his scheme the conâ€" fidence of Phillip of Orleans who had then ascended the throne of France. The bank which Law founded, and which was very much the same as similar institutions of our own times, proved a great success, and as Thiers saysâ€""if Law had confined himself to his bank, he would be considered one of benefactors of the country." But to the bank he added the management of the reâ€" venue, the merit and the regulation of the Eastern and Western trado. The result was disastrous, to himself and his schemes. So that after a few years of unexampled povularity and succees. and during which he had not only enriched numbers of his friends and amassed an enormous fortune himself, Law had to flee France for his life with only eight hundred louis and a diaâ€" mond ring worth a few thousand pounds.

We are prepared to send to a Club of Five Tux On a former occasion we directedâ€"the atâ€" tention of our agricultural readers to the great loss they were yearly sustaining by the vicious system pursued in dealing with the article of butter. In no other section of the Province can better butter be made | than in the county of Grey, yet it is so manipulated by the producer and the middle |merâ€"the storekceperâ€"that it is often unsaleable and consequently is a source of great loss to all who are engaged in the trade. Practical men who have given attention to this matter have come to the conclusion that there is only one way of remedying the evil, and that is, by the onâ€" courgement of butter factories. And the Iustory of these establishments during clusively, that, for the farmer as well as the storckeeper, this is the only and the best way of Gealing with this important question. A farmer writing to the Montreal Witness, for instance, says, that in his neighnourhood since, the intr>â€" duction of the factory system, not only have the profits of the dairy increased, but the production of butter has doubled, a better class of cows has been kept, more comfortable stables have beon built, and attention has been given to the feeding of cattle. We are happy to observe that Mr. Rombough of this town is making preâ€" parations for the opening of a butter factory at Enniskillen, next season, and we trust that not only will he receive proper enâ€" couragement, but that other enterprising gentlemen in other localities will see it to be in their own interest as well as that of their neighbours, to follow his example. â€"We have received the curront numbey of the New Dominion Monthly.

The company had received, howâ€" over, a verbal report from the Engineer stating that the cost would be less the $10,000 per mile, that amount covering the completion of the road, and not embracing rolling stock. ‘The engineer of the Great Westerp Railway had surveyed the first section, and reported to Mr Broughton, and the directors would no doubt soon have full information on that subject. \ Mr. McKechnie Prasident of the Comâ€" pany, addressed the Attornyâ€"General. He remarked that before referring to the scheme of the Company he represented, he | might say that they appointed a deputaâ€" ‘ion to wait upon the President of the | Stafford and Huron Railway Company, for | they considered there was a better opening by way of Mount Forest on to Owen Sound for a road, which would not come as near other lines of railway, The deputation could not obtain any definite answer from |the President of that Company, nothing beyond the statement that so soon as they had constructed the railway to. Listowell they would consider the question of exâ€" tension. ‘The people in the section of country which the present deputation reâ€" presented desired a railway which would open up and develop its resources. Appliâ€" cation was made to the Legislature for a charter for the construction of a line from Palmerston or some other point on the Wellington, Grey and Bruce to conâ€" nect with the Great Western, and it was granted last session. _ The eapital stock was $100,000, and as soon as stock io the amount of $25,000 was subscribed, and ten per cent. paid up, then the work of conâ€" struction could be entered upon, Stock to the amount of $25,000, all bone fide, was subscribed, and $2,500 deposited in the Ontario Bank in Mount Forest. Applicaâ€" tion was made to several municipalities for bonuses. The road was divided into two sections, and it was proposed to construct the first section, and afterwards complete the second. ‘The Company had obtained the following bonuses : â€" l’nlmorston,‘ $15,000 ; Monnt Forest, $15,000 ; Egreâ€" mont, $60,000 ; Bentinek, $20,000 ; Durâ€" ham, $25,000 ; Glenelg, $20,000 ; which, together with $25,000 stock subscribed, brought the total to $180,000. The length of the proposed first section is twentyâ€"eight miles, and according to the Engineor‘s verbal report to the Company it would be possible to build that length of road, being | the first from Palmerston to Durham, for $10,000 per imile. For the second section a byâ€"law for $80,000 had been subâ€" imitted to the township of Sullivan. The town of Owen Sound proposed to grant $40,000, the township of Derby $80,000, Sarawak $10,000, Sydenham $25,000, and other bonuses $50,000, making a total for the second section of twentyâ€"cight miles of $180,000. The Company also proposed to have an interview with the Board of Trade of Hamilton in order to bring the matter under consideration of the City Council, with the view of obtuining assistance in aid of the scheme. . The Attornyâ€"General asked the estimated cost of the road. ‘m the nprtv*\xeh we give below, from the Globs of Wednesday, it will be seen that the Wellington and Georgian Bay Railway Compauny are alive to the grent immportance of the j:t:cmtl they have in hand.

They were very anxious to obtain access to a good port on the Georgian Bay so as to increase the {rade with the Northâ€" West. The deputation consisted of gentlemen who had no personal interests to serve, who were not speculators, and they grusted their representations would receive the fayourable consideration of the Government. Mr. Jackson, M.P., said that the section of country which would be served by the proâ€" posed road was fourteen miles distant from the Toronto, tirey, and Bruce on the east,and seventeen miles from the Wellington, Grey, and Bruce on the w st, and the projected line :vnulnl pretty well complete the riilway service Mr. Williams, M.P.P.,«aid he did not come there as a deputation from Hamilton, but as a friend of the railway. At the same time the people of Hamilton felt deeply interested in the construction of the railway, as it would run through the garden of Ontario, and they thought that a conmection with that section of the country would give our manufacturers and merchants one more outlet for their goods. The gentlemen who were l)rumotiu,z the railâ€" way were anxious to make this connection with Hamilton and the Great Woestern Railâ€" way, so that they will be able to «hip their products without a change of cars There was no doubt under Mr. Broughton‘s able manageâ€" ment it would be one of the best managed railâ€" ways on this continent, and he thought their scheme was sound, â€" The people of Grey now saw the mistake they made in taking up with the narrow gauge railway. The promoters of this railway were not speculators, but they came here in the interests of the country they represent, and in so doing they were acting in the public interest. He hoped the Goverrâ€" ment wouid look upon this railway with favour, as it would be of great benetit to the country, â€" He understood the Great Western intended furnishing cars for running in conâ€" nection with the new road. 4 dation. Huron Railway was the only riyal to the proâ€" posed road at the present time, and they eould not submit equally as strong claims for aid. The scheme of the Stratford and Huron Comâ€" pany was got up as a rival from Lastowel north to the Wellington, Grey, and Bruce, and it to accommodate a section of country which had not at present adequate railway accomâ€" modation. ‘The Toronto, Grey, and Bruce, owing to its being a narrow gauge road, was not able to give the people the necessary acâ€" commodation to enable them to take their products to the best markets. The best market for their wheat was the Grand River districtâ€"Guelph, Galt, Brantford, and other points where there were large mills, Grain shipped by the Toronto, Grey, and Bruce came to Toronto and went into elevators. 1t then wen* through the bands of commission merâ€" chants, and it was in some cases reloaded inâ€" to cars and came back to the mills on theGrand River. This state of things the farmers deâ€" sired to avoid. The deputation felt that in pressing the scheme they were not advocating one in opposition either to the Wellington, Grey, and Bruce or the Toronto, Grey, and Bruce, for the latter Company fraokly admitâ€" ted that they did not furnish that accomâ€" modation which the people ot the section in question required ; but that it was very difâ€" ferent in the case of the Stratford and Huron scheme, because the section which that Comâ€" pany would accommodate was largely accomâ€" modated already, Again, the municipalities had granted liberal aid to the scheme which the deputation represe _ d.> It was true that municipalities sometimes granted aid to railâ€" roads on account of thé arguments put* forâ€" ward by their advocates, and that the Governâ€" ment should seriously consider how far they would be justified in backing up the efforts of those municipalities, if the project was not based on just and proper grounds, because it was well known that farmers appreciated comâ€" petition, and it was easy to persuade them that by having competing lines they would attain much better prices for their products. In all cases, therefore, the granting of Governâ€" ment aid was not warranted, because he held that where there was one efficient line through a section of country it was much better that it should reap the advantages arising trom that cirenmstance than that a rival road should be established, and the competition result in the financial ruin of both companies, One good line was better than hbali a dozen incffieient roads, and if they had an eflictent one suck as the Great Western, they would not agitate for the construction of another, But they felt that the section of country which they repreâ€" santed wasdeticient inrailway accommodation. The people were therefore auxions to secure the constructiof of the road in questron, and | they hoped the Government would aid them | to obtain a line would enable them to develop« ' their resources, â€" He trusted the Government | would give the matter more than a tma-iug. consideration, â€" and after having enguired | into the nccessities of the section and the claums of the Company, would grant the Company the necessary aid to carry out the scheme. would run within almost speaking «distance of that line for fifteen or tweuty miles, and thus they would be rivals, The Wellington, Grey,and Bruce was coustructed on the broad gauge principle, and gave ample accommodaâ€" tion for the section of country through which it rau, while the Stratford and Lake Huron Company asked Government aid for a line which would run in the same direction, and compete with another company already subâ€" sidised by Government. .
