THOMPSON HOUSE JhMJPM TWSMFMf, Fre^rtfSer. THE BAR STABLING CHAPTER LVI.Vanessa's visit . J Erebn? was iu due course shown fo Mr. ;Piper, who knew so little ab**ut homes m to bo scarcely worthy to be called a, York- , sliiretnan. His owu particular v^pitv in ’b o « nj of. hors« flesh was a fast pony tbntcould trot between the shafts of a light carriago for any number of hours withoutrest or nfrcshmeirt. Anything beyond that was out of bis line. He contemplated llio black with a cool survey, and thoughtlliut there was very little of him for tbe money.’ Du’t he lovely ? ’ asked Bulla, patting the creature's sleek neck.i Erebus was in a lieavcidv temper in his Mabie. It was only when qouscious of humanity on his back that he was subject to fits of wayw.-irduess.1 Well, ho aren’t bnd-lepking,' assented tho imenthnsiastio Piper; ‘ but if I’d chosea borso for you I should have picked onewith more timber and a better back for a saddle. I hope he’s quirt ? ’ ‘ Ob, he's everything that's nice,' nn-swered Bella, with a fluttering of her heart at the recollection of some of Erebus’**manoeuvres that morning. • I Rhril feel as easy on J»m as nr an mruyclirir—w hen I get need to him.'‘ And Captain Standfeh gave yon a riflinglesson, did be ? inquired Mr. Piper. ’Yes; he went over tho moor with m»just to show mo Low to manago Frebus.”' ”fh»t was very civil of him But yon mustn’t be riding about with him often,von know, Bella, it wunldn’t do. Youmean no harm, and ho means no hnrtu. I know that, my dear, itot it would setpeople talking, aud I’m ns proud a man ns Cureur iu my way. I won’t have my wife talked about.’Bella Im tied her prie face in tho LIbcVh silky mane. She did uol-curo to meet her husband's honest eyes ja»t at this particu­ lar moment.‘ I would nnt for tho world <lo anything yon dislike,' she said, lueeklv, • but I want io burn how to uianago Erebus, and Id-'n’t think anyone can teach mo so wed ns Captain Standish. Aud by-und-by, when• he fox Imnting begins, if yon do not mind.I should like very much to—to’—hero Sir. 1’iper glared nt her with a look so nwful ihnl she remodeled tbe etui of her sentence—’ to oee tho hanuds throw ofl? ’ Y**n could drive to tho meet in yonrpony-cbay.’ said Mr. Piper. ‘Nobody could sny there was harm in that.’ ‘ It would be much nicer to go on horse-hack,’ pleaded Bella, faying her littlo white hand caressingly ou Mr. Flpei’a velvet collar.• Why, wbnt a baby you are, Iftlla wo­man I ’ he exclaimed, ‘ iu*>)bfi«d by Hint light touch and tho coaxing ]<>ok in the Dresden china-face. ‘ Tho horse is a new .toy. Y«*ull tai wanting tn ride him into •the draw ing-room, I shouldn't wonder, or j t*> have him lying on Ihe benith-rug of a winD-revetrinc. tile* a Newfouiuil inil.' . This, in IhHii’s idea, m*>ar.t permission .-to go to the meet, aud once at the meet it wroild lie very easy to follow tho houndsfor hnlfnn hour or so, and t*> say afterward [ it wns nil Erebns’s doing, quite an iuvU'in- , lory bit ofLnnting on lor own park Belinwa« past -mfelro** <>f those small arts l»V ' which an adroit u«*crtipnk>us w.uuan man- ' > ages to get her own way. ’ I’ll tell yon what,' said Mr. Piper, pre-. scntly, ’ if you wnnt to have company l when yon’re out riding,you'd better ask one * of Pnrkmnu’s girls to come and spend a f w eek with you and bring her lirras. Theyare first-rnte horse-women, both of ’em? • I should be very glnd to hnve Vau*s*a,’srid Bella. • I think sbo’s*fh* nicest, or at any rote tho least nasty,’sba added,hastily. Mrs. Pmkman was a woruan gifted withdim and uncultured napirotions nfiertho beautiful. She had filled her drawingroom with heterogeneous bric-a-bac. includingevery variety of bad art, from Cleopa'ra’s needle in Cornish serpentine to the iatert wontrosity in Boliauiion glasw, nn 1 she hadCHlled hor two elder danghlors Stella andX ancsan, having read oftw-o young women of that name ouce in a book. She had forgotten all about the book nnd the youngwomen, but the names had lingered in 1>ct memory. She hnd her eldest danditer christened Stella.nnd in due time tliero an-neared a Vnnesxn to complete ths pair, and to Id’ro to Stella’s cast-off frocks. Bella thcnglrt it wotfld not be altogether inconvenient—un.v, it w»nbl be very con­venient—to have Van rasa Porkmen (other companion. With ’Vanessa riding on her left side. Captain Staurffsh might ride on her right without giving occasion for scan­dal. SLo was not at all afraid of Vanessa being scaudalucd by apytblrg tint she •aw or heard. The second Miss Porkmnnwas *o far in advance of her ng^hat site hnd in a manner anticipated all the fam- inine tartness of the nineteenth tonlm-y.Ths -kaling riuk. the ladies' club of the tnture. contained nothing calculated to shock Vanessa. * Misa Porkman accepted Mr»- Pijffit’s in- vi slion gladly. She owuod with a charm­ ing candor, thal she wanalwajaglad iq getB*ay from home.

So, an it pleased Mr. Piper to have him there, Bella endnred Iris presencewithout further complaint. •As long as yen don't luvilo him to mybout dinner**, I don't mind,’ shu told Mr. Piper, which was certainly a great concees-iun from a young lady who,a year or so be­ fore, had nut aiwuys had enough dinner forherself. Mr.Ciinmney looked on ntBJh's career, and had his own opinion about her, andsaid nothing. Miss Coyney said a great deal to him, and he let her talk, bnt he never committed himself by any morn di­rect expn-wiou of opinion than was to be gleaned from a grave nod or a significantshake of the bend. This dnmb-riiow of hia and the general reticence of his manners, posscsaed a wonderful fascination for Miss Coj Dey- She-opened her mind to him free­ly, and felt herself in tbe presence of su­ premo worldly wisdom. • If poor Mr.Piper were only like you,thatfoolish young woman would not venture upon such conduct,' said Miss Coyney,- whereupon Mr. Chumney lifted his dark eyebrows, thrust hia fingers into life waist­coat pockets, and breathed v gentle sigh. ‘ Spending all her mornings riding about with that Captain Stendish.a man of notor­iously dissipated character,' sail Miss Coy- oey, who knew ns much nbont the captain as she did about the inhabitants of tbemoon.' • Hui' groaned’Mr. Chumney, ns if in ns- sent to a gouerid proposition which he couldnot confine. ‘And making a bosom-friend ef that-flashy Miss Pcrkman, while she neglectsIhe own sisters. • Birds of a feather^-’ ' • • Flock together,'' concluded Mr.CImm-noy, venturing to commit himself so far. ■•’ How it is that Mr. Piper doesn't bm ’Piper i« a man in a thousand, madam,’ -sai l Mr. Chumney. j • But so foolishly confiding. Ah, Mr. Chumney, it is trying to see the present j state of things alter having had tbe privil- ,ego of knowing tho first Mrs. Piper.’ ‘ True,' sighed Chumney. • How different her habits were. She ,wan a wmnan of real pi*ty, always | anxious about this world and the next.' ‘She novtr could keep her cook,' snifl (Chumney doubtfully. * I have seen worse cooking st Piper’s table that ever I saw in my own bumble lodging.’• Poor Mrs. Piper wm not fortunate with horservants,' assented Miss Covney, ‘but then she was such » good manager.

Miss Coyney knew n very little and talk­ ed n great deni. Mr. Chninney know a great deal and hold Iris nonce, waiting, withmasterly patience, until the time should come for him to speak. For tho last three montlisbe had taken npon himself tlreoffieeo' a private inquirer without fee or reward. Ho bad made it his business to find out all thnt was to bo known about Captain Stan-dish. Ho had gone into all manner of com­ pany in order to make these discovories.bntiris informants hnd been chiefly of the back stairs—grooms, valets,tailors, boot-makers, horse-dealers, people of all grades, who had bo*n honored with the captain's custom or patronage. Tho result of his inquiries showed that Cantata Standish was an nnscmpnlou*, un­principled man— a man who paid Iris way simply because bo had p'enty of raonev wherewith to gratify Li* desiren, but whodid not shrink from a dishonorable act, or liesitnte at a baseness where dishonorable nr base dealing could farther Iris arm*. Hehnd contrived iu a brief career to do as much mischief as would have earned for a young nobleman a han Isome reputation intho days when men wore powder and patches and considered vice a distinction.

I • It will give Piper the wliip-linnfl over' her the rest of his days,' ho thought, • if hri ’ Goda her out in a « unpromising flirtation i with thin fellow Standish?This was the condition of affairs up to the evening before the fox-hnnt, when Mr. Chimney, through one of hi* horsey infor­mal-tn, bocnme acquainted with tlm lii.riorv of Captain Standikh's pnrclinsa ot the black called Erebus.

CHAPTER LVIII. A SHOUT BECKONING. When Chumney was gone EbenrtwrPiper walked up and down the narrow track in the pine plantation, ruminating upon what ho bad been told. Why shonldany man, however princely in hia ideas, make a gift ef two bnndred aud shirty guineas to another man's wife 1 Such atiring conld hurdly happen without imply­ ing evil deugn iu the i^ver. B*lla misfit he innocent, but tins man wsa guilty. Thisgift of the horse was one act of many, bH tending toward a wUsfineffisncmclasion. And then there earao baek upon Mr. Piper's mind the whola history of bis wife's acquaintance With Captain Sta-mlfeh ; bow this man. whose reputation had been madeby an insolent exclusiveness, had beenfrom his introduction aftthe P*rka con­ stant visitor. Mr, Pipet had been flatteredby this dirtinciion, and h*d aocribrA Captain St tndish'a prrfer»nca to an epicu­rean appreciation of Iris fine house, and an iutcDectarf pleasure iu his eonversatioar. Now, all at rinio, he saw the jmwI in •new liabLand knew that he bad bean blind aud deaf and foolish. Bells's oretty face had been the attraction ; Bella's winningmanners had been the ln»e. • If I thought that she bad tnenrarrihim, knowing bis drift, if I knew that she had been falsa tn me by so much as oneerring thought, I would liavs done with her st once and forever. She owes ma tea much. No, it is impossible. It fen t inhuman nature to be so base. .\nd that pretty littls sutdiug f«ea hetre. No, that co«M not He.’ This was how be argued with hms^lf. Yet there was ns assurance in hi* mind.His self respect was strong still, his belief in his own claims aud merits still unshaken; but there hod appeared to him A virion of aphenomenal faluhood, a preternaturalinanity in woman. ‘ If be sp*ut bis money for that horae,and she accepted the gift knowingly, it was not his first gift.’ be said to himself. •There has been letters passing betweenthem, perhaps.

LARGE AND INFLUENTIAL MEETING. D1MCUMION INF1TEB, BUT BBTACCEPTED I SHORT SPEECH BY UR. KORRI8. FULL VKRBATIM BXTOSY. “ Too much nasty stuff for one dose,” is probably the reason its Mt. Elgin corres­ pondence was ” crowded out” of our town contemporaryiast week. After viewing, in addition to it, the very edifying letters that did appear, it was thought better,no doubt* to divide the matter into doses, the whole being too strong for any people to take at oue time; s j the readers of that delightful paper may expect some mere medicine from the Ut. Elgin patent medicine man this week. Ws learn that some of our Conserva­ tive friends iu Woodstock are disposed to differ with us about the oniniou of some that we inadvertantly styled “ weak-kneed brethren,” and also Mr. Martin’s reference to our remarks. We are, however, inform­ ed that Mr. Martin has taken the trouble to get the letter rend by some dozens, and that they entirely coincide with our view of the case, aud that he says he will hare no trouble iu getting hundreds, if not thous­ ands, to give their names endorsing tho same ideas. •fluE Revobmxm of South Oxford have now, if ws are to believe tbs indications, rattled down upon their candidate. Every effort has been used to get Col. Skinner off the field, or to induce some one else to come forward and contest the Biding against Mr. Gibson, but without avail. The wire­ pullers have been victorious, and a strong rally is to be made to centre upon tbs Col­ onel and make as good ran as possible un­ der tho circumstances. It will now be in order for the Chronicle to come out fear­ lessly and advocate bis cams and extol Lis many virtues (?). In the past it has been as reticent as possible on this matter, in the expectation that it would have had the opportunity of supporting some other can­ didate, but with the events of the past ten days that hops has vanished, and it will now be free to pursue the only course open. We trow, it will be a very bitter pill for tome Reformers to swallow, but they will do it. Others, however, there are who will not be, dragged through tho mud merely for the sake of party. They have higher aims and moro exalted aspirations, and are ready and willing to sink party,]in order that they may take part and lot with those whose only desire is to make Canada a great and prosperous country. Im East Tor onto, we stated last week from information gained from Toronto pa­ pers, that there was to ba no opposition to Mr. Platt, the present member, and that he was practically elected.^* Since that time, however, a candidate has been nom­ inated in the person of Mr. Edward Galley. Considering that Mr. Galley is unknown to the public of that constituency, and that be was so little wanted as a candidate that be had to be nominated at a hole-and-corner met ting di non-residents, and that a Grit ha* no chance iu East Toronto anyway, we still belters that Mr. Platt is practically elected. Mb. P. J. Brown makes another exhi­ bition of Jiis peculiar penchant for invent­ ing scurrilous slander, and falsifying facta iu lost week’s Chronicle. He is not capa­ ble of carrying on an argument or discus- sion In any other way, aud ns wo propose to win the forthcoming election without w.diog through tba quagmire^ which Ire de­ sires to drag ns, we decline replying to bis Jost, feeling totally incapable of coping with him in a style for which bis diminu­ tive mind is particularly adapted, and to­ wards which the bent of his intellect natur­ ally inclines. The Grits w bo are tunning the election in opposition to Mr. Gibsou, are in rather a bad state. They have been beaten in ar­ gument, and they bayo the humiliating feelings of coming defeat. Somo of themwill ackt6wledgo without hesitation that they aro already whipped,while others con- tiuually whistle in order to prevent their minds from grasping the disagreeable fact. Mr. P. J. Brown’s letter in our contempor­ ary, lest wonk, shows what kind of an in­ dividual he is. Unable to meet Mr. Gibson on the public p'atform to discuss public af fairs on behalf of Colonel Skinner, he stoops Jo the meanness of attacking Mr. Gibson through tho columns of an unscru­ pulous journal, by alluding to private mat­ ters which have no bearing whatever on public aflairs. A man who rerorts to such modes of attack must be very angry at something ; and nothing is necessary to plainer show that even Peter Johnson Brown has brought himself to acknowledge that his game—Che shoving of Col. Skinner on tho Reform party against tho wishes of a largo majority—is not looked upon with favor by the Reformers, and that tho mis­ take he has mode places the Colonel in an unenviable position. According to announcement, Mr. Gibson addressed tbs.electors of Ingersoll and vic* inity in the Town Hall, on Friday evening last. The meeting was attended by a high­ ly intelligent and appreciative audience, and notwithstanding the organ of the Re­ form party had warned its friends not to attend, as they bad tailed to procure the at­ tendance of a debater on the opposite aide who was willing to face Mr. Gibson, yet a good many (noderale men who have for years been identified with the Reform cause, were in attendance, at>4 while Mr. Gibson was speaking the Hall was com­ fortably filled. A new feature of this meeting was tho attendance of some twen­ ty or thirty of the representative ladies of town, who appeared delighted and high­ ly appreciated the proceedings of the meet­ ing. Thomas Brown, Esq., Reeva and acting Mayor, occupied the Chair and introduced the sfieakers. On opening tbs mealing the Chairman requested anyone who wished to participate in ths discussion, to take a seat on the platform, iu order that whatever time they might require should be allotted to thsca, Mr. Norris was tho only gentleman who availed blmself of the privilege. Me. Gibson was then introduced by tho Cboirman. He said : Mr . Chair man, Ladies and Gent l emen: It is one of the privileges of a free people to eujoy the right to discuss public affairs, aud it is by the wise and judicious exercise of this right to a very great extent at least, that wo are enabled to preserve our free­ dom. Freedom of speech should produce freedom of action. Thia idea was very fairly brought out by Mr. Charlton in bis address to the electors of Tilsonbarg, when ho said that •• tho question of a revenue tariff vs. a protestivo tariff was tho ques­ tion of tha hour, and that it was tho duty of everj elector to weigh the matter care­ fully without auy regard to party leanings, and then pronounce judgment in accotd- anco with tho merits of the case.” I fully endorse Mr. Charlton’s liberal view, and tho elector who fails to grasp the ques­ tion fairly on account of bis party ptejn- dices, not only does an injustice to himself but to bis country also. In order to lay doWn a ba*is of argument, I think it would ba well to give you the tariff arrangement as at present existing between the United Stales and this country : Many times during the prtseut contest tba opponent* of Mr. Gibson, when beuten in argument have resorted to ridicule and mean innuendoes in regard to his candi­ dature. Those who have known him best are aware that such a course of action can do but little injury to him. And if there bo any who do not know him, an<l have not a just appreciation of his abilities and talents, we refer them to the report of the speech delivered by him in the Town Hall, ou Friday Might last, and which we publish in this issue. A more able aud pointed address on the National Policy ii has not been our pleasure to hear or read during tba present contest. ’ Some lunatic has told the London Ad- oerltrer that Colonel Skinner will get 500 majority at the approaching election 1 That pour fellow has got it very bad. Neither the above-mentioned individual nor the said truthful (?) newspaper, will make tbe slightest change in ths ' present aspect of tha contest—th* certain election of Mr. Gibson—by publishing such foolish false­ hoods. The paper in question is contin­ ually waking itself appear ridiculous to il>* people of this Riding by publiahing sluff that everyone know* to be wide' of tbe truth. The people here ore too well posted in mattera pertaining to tbe contest in 8. Oxford to be at all deceived by such stretch ing. Put it a tbousan I next' time, won’t you ? You'll be aa readily believed. The Fol low ing,concerning the Candida­ ture of Mr. Norris ia taken from the Mon­ treal Star “ Mr. William Norris has come out as •1 Canada First’ candidate for the represeu tatiou of tbe South Riding of Oxford iu tbeFederal Parliament. His address to theelectors is of considerable length. Be de­ cline* to ask any man for a vote, that being contary to the spirit of tho ballot act, aadannounces his iu ten lion of conducting bi*candidature on national principles ; and u to his platform generally it rosy briefly be stated. He favors a manhood safirage, recomnend*appointments to tho Senate—a third every five yearu as better than making that body elective, and demands more stringent me-sure* to secure the independence of ParliamentHe considers thst the Csnsdisn Pacific Rail­ way should be moro rapidly carried to compleuon, that tbe boundary between Canadaaud. Ateeku. should beatonce defined, and that so far as theal matters are concernedthere rhoald be reciprocity in tanfis with theUnited States. He tbiuka that Canada should have the right to legislate iu all matters af.feeling her shipping aud copyright, that theSpeaker of tbe ‘liuure of Cum mo us should be Deputy-Governor of Canada aud that fartherprovision should be made to secure the rights,protection and privilejex of a British sub- jecte. He also enlarges upon the duty “ tofoster in every constitutional manner a strongunited Canadian Nation, uot only a* an effec­ tual safeguard of our liberties, but as a meansof uniting and elevating our people, further-tag the interests of all parts of our common country, and as the only statu* that is at allcorameusurate to or that will enable u* tocomplete our present great undertakings.” Mr.Norria’ platform is certainly a compreheu-sire one, and wo thia morning give it to ourreaders to digest. There have been several attempt* to establish Canadian nationalpartial, but these have failed of their objectsimply because of the rampant spirit of part- yutu which strangled them in their incep­tion.

H* soli bis market would find two customerseompeting for ths conteuta cf bis waggon instead of on*, as al present; in a word tbe eloser you bring ths workshop andUm farm together tbe better it is for both. Ibis view of Um case was held by Ms.Cbarieton a short time ago, and I shall therefore take tha liberty of quoting from that gentleman again : “ It must ba shownthat agriculture ia to ba benefitted by protection before it ia incumbent upon thaGovernment to adopt a proteotivo policy. I believe that tho agricultural intereate of the Dsmioion would b* promoted by pro­ tection, and that the manufacturer being brought to tbe door of tho farmer wouldafford a market for a great many articles of produce that would not ba saleable if th* market war* three thousand milesaway. With a home market of this kind, established by protection to manufaetarers,the agriculturist can benefit bis soil by pro­ ducing a rotation of crops." Here tbe whole case is admitted. First that it is allimportant to have a home market, because tbs perishable product* of tbe farm must find a home market since they will not bear long shipment, and in the second place you can keep up the quality of the aoil by pro­ducing a rotation of crop*, which is of it­ self a consideration of the first importance. Mi. Cbarieton in 1876 held these views ontbe floor of Parliament, and they are just as true now as they were then ; but tbe party whip ba* been applied to Mr. Cbarie­ton and he now holds that it is a matter of no importance and that a home fa no bet­ ter than a foreign market. This latter view of the caae ia dearly stated io a speech which he delivered at Simcoe on tbe 16tbof 1**1 Jnne. I quote from the Daily Globe ot tho 18th June, and may say that I made tbe same quotation in Mr. Charletoa’spreaanee and ho admitted it to be correct. And it was to be obrerved these would not be new customers. They were now manu­ facturing in England and other countries and consuming th* products of tbe farmersof Canada. Tbe only result would b* that they would be shifted from one place to another. Would not that be a brilliantpiece of financing?” Now, In tho first place can Mr. Cbarieton give tho farmer* of Canada a guarantee that they shallhave tho exclusive right ot furnishing those workmen, now manufacturing goods in the. old countries for the people ofCanada', with their food supply when he know* full well that tho farmers ot Russia and the United States are the sources fromwhich the food supply referred to is mainly drawn. On ths other hand if these work­ men were transferred to Canada aud onr frontier protected, tbe farmer* of the country would bo called upon to furnish food for every one of them; and in tbesecond place, according to Mr. Charleton, our showing tbe farmers of the country coal! sell these workmen manyarticles ef produce that would net be sale, able if the workmen were thre* thousand miles away. I desire to show in tha nextplace that protection does not increase prices. Our opponents ore never tired of pointing to tbe United States, and theyfreely assert that protection has enraed that country and made it a dear country to live io, and yet tbe tact that their exporttrade ia rapidly increasing clearly show* that they must be successfully competing in the market* of the world, and in no wayia thia mote forcibly illustrated than it is where tbeir good* come in competition with tho products of free trade in England. Ifthe United State* ar* cursed with protec­ tion, how was it that they supplied Russia aud Turkey with nearly all tha small armsused during tbe late war ? England could not compete in quality or price. How ia it that tho States are exporting large quanti­ties of edge tools to Australia thereby driving the free trade good* ef England out of tbe market and the asm* being to a largeextent true so far aa Canada is concerned, How is it that the highly protected hard­ ware of our pushing nvighbors is knockingat the doors of Sheffield and Birmingham and knocking not in vain ? Tbe theory of our free trade friends is that such is im­possible, but the fact is in opposition to the theory and therefore the fact must be ac­ cepted. In this connection let ue compareour import trade with Great Britian and tha United States and yon will see at a glance who is taking the lead :— In looking over ike Trade and NavigatioB Returns for Ute last few years, I fiud that wo have been purebaring a large quantity of goods which might have been prod need in thia country. I have bore a list of somo of tho leading lines Furniture about |800,000 ; hardware llfl,- 000,000; eottoa goods |1 0,000,000; wool- lea goodo 111,000,000; rabber goods 1110,- 000 ; glassware 11,000,000; mannfulared leather •1,090,000 ; ready-made clothing 11,000,000 ; sugar M ,000,000. The item ef rubber goods though not very largo ia rapidly increasing. Tha raw material » imported by our enterprising neighbors from South America, enabling them to build np a large trade,and which we might in part enjoy if sufficient duty were placed upon the mannfaetured robber goods so as to cause ns to import the raw material our­ selves, and afterwards manufacture ths goods, which in duo time would give em­ ployment to a large number of workmen. But the present do-nothing party say that tho United States is cursed with protection and that the came state of affairs will fol­ low here if a protective policy is adopted. Th* proof, however, of this statement is entirely wanting. Let us take the State ef Massachnitetts as an example, this State being more largely engaged in manufac­ tures in proportion to ita population than auy other State in tho Union. In 1865 the workingmen of tho State bad deposited to their credit, in the savings banks of the State, «59,000,000, being tiro saving, of the Laboring population. By tho end of 1874this hid swollen to 1217,000,000, and by that" of 1877 to 1244,000.000, being an average yearly increase of 114,000,000 I So that notwithstanding the groat com­ mercial panic of 1878, tho working elsues have continued to add to their former earnings, showing that they have more than bold their own aud are oonatantly im­ proving their financial condition. And while this is true of the State of Massachu­ setts it is also true of the country, taken as a whole, the total deposits amounting to the magnificent sum of 11.877,000,000.' But what ia the result under our sron-protective system, bearing in mind that the popula- tion of Massachusetts is about 1,500,000, while ours is 4,000,000. At the end of June, 1874, there bad been deposited in our Post Office Savings Bsnk >7,210.000, by June 1875 17,171,000. by Jnne 1876 •7.044.000, by June 1877 17,470,000, being an average increase nf only • 18,000, as compared with 414,000,000 in the Slate of Mauacbuaette. And it to tho deposits in tho Post Office Savings Bank you add the am.'unt deposited in tho other banks, the sum total of our deposits will only roach about •18,000.000, as compared with •244,000,000 in the state referred to. Tho workingmen of Massachusetts may wall be proud of their financial record, and to call such a people a nation of tramps is as non- Musical as jt ia untrue. John Bright, in a recent utterance, stated that there were 1,000,000 of paupers in England, and still another 1,000,000 on the verge of want. Therefore, according to the reasoning of our free trade friends, then thtir pet system is responsible for the same. The profes­ sional tramp of the United States is largely the outcome of the late cruel war, and to bold protection responsible for the distaste be has for a wood pile is the merest non­ sense. The prosperity of the State of Mas­ sachusetts is further sustained by the official address delivered by Gov. Rice to the State Legislature lost winter. I quote a abort extract only : By the result ol an investigation just closed, undertaken by the bureau of statistics of labor in cities and towns, producing eighty-six per cent of tha whole products of the state wo are able to make an excellent comparison of the condition of our large industries in 1877 with that of 1875. In all there has been a decrease of an average ot about aine per os nt. in tho wages ; but there has been an increase of working time ia days. Tba result of tho investigations lead to the la- lief that there are no groat number of me­ chanics wholly out of employment, and that our industries are steadily working IbemselvM back to the condition they were in before the panic of 1878.” Here we have a statement of facta based upon a careful investigation, and which has never been called in question, showing bow well Massachusetts has weathered the storms of tho late financial crisis under a protective system. Mr. Ch art eton, a supporter of the present Government, in a speeeh delivered in Parliament in 1876, alee contended that the United States bad prospered under a protective policy. Allow me to give two short extracts. “It may bo safely assumed that no nation has attained to greatness in commerce or manufacture without having, in lbs course of its history, imposed exactions and restriction. This has been notably the cbm with England heroelf; and I think the assertion that tlio development of various industries is neces­ sary to the cultivation of the ■clf-Jefensivo poorer of a nation is incontrovertible. Wo have had an illustration of it in tha neigh­ boring nation. The Southern States wore without manufecumcg industries, while tha Northern States ware filled with them, and the advantage this gave them resulted io tho suppression of tha rebellion." Again Mr. Charleton soys : “We have al ear own dooro all the Olostrations and sxporieroa of protection and its benefits required tor onr government and guidanoe. The United States have adopted a proteotivo. policy, iodieally i» order to proven* hwto oc­ curring. His plan wm to eteet rae/third and that body world conform with th*OTM*1* rfl ai*r 4 aw tka W •very eebool bay, ttiwy would Lav* theelectors Lriieva that protection alvne was tbe cans*. I shall take the liberty of rank­ ing tbe Globe newspaper show the haflow-ness of th* abov* ctotrgr, by showing that when ths war was over and sstfficieiM limebad elapsed ao as to allow the indaatrfas of th* country to flow in tbeir osoal rfisff- nets, a wonderful increase of ferns product*took place, although th* system of protec­ tion bad undergone no change. The ea- tract is as follow* > “ Recently puHisb*dstalistie* show an enormous increase ot late years, in the agricultural prodneta ofCla—a— — IT -1 I*r> I aet-l the Mie latezr m thi, country.

Why the very opposite is the case. Ow esteem­ed chairman, Mr. Thomas Brown, who is largely engaged in tbe manufoetBriog of Isatber, now find* a reedy aud bettermarket in Canada for bis good’s eimply because the wholesal* maonfaetarer of boots and shoes in Montroal^ad elsewhere,is in a position to buy all tlx* leather he and others can turn out sine* protection has enabled them to secure well nigh the entire control of the Canadian market. The farmer also shares in tbe general prosperity because he finds a better nr»r-ket for bis bides and tan bark, eo that Lav­ ing placed one industry in u prosperous condition it seems to infuse life into everyoilier industry with which it come* in eon- tact. Then again we have tbe benefit of protection further illustrated in connectionwitboar salt supply. Mr. Oliver, the mem­ ber for the North Riding and a supporterof the present Government, described the condition of our salt trade in n speech which he made in parliament in 1870. Thsquotation referred to is as follows :—“In the item of salt (which would be referred to more fully by tbe member for Huron,who was interested in the commodity) the country had also suffered. Last year, according to the Trade Returns, we import­ed 4442,000 worth from the Ucited Stales, which comes directly in competition with our own industry on tbe shores of Lake Hnron where salt works had beeu erected st a cost of about 4200,000. The object ofthe American salt manufacturer* was to cripple these mannfseturers, and they were succeeding. He had read a circular issuedby the proprietor of tho Syracns salt well* iu which they offered to deliver salt in Canada rt one dollar and sixty cents perbarrel, while at the same time they are chanting one dollar and ninety cents at their own wells, their object being to ob-tain a monoplv over tbe whole American continent." However, our Government wisely came to the rescue by putting on aduty of twenty-five cents on every barrel of American salt c> iniog iota the country, and what are the results ? Lest year we onlypurchased from the Americans *20,000 worth as compared with *442,000 in 1870, in o’her words while we only im­ ported one hundred thousand bnxhfls from the States, we exported or sent back to them seven hundred thousand bushels ;and tha pries of salt in lugerooll to-day is not one half what it was when we were compelled to depend largely unon theAmericans for onr supply. Allow me to cite one more industry which I think fully sustains tba position which I have takenthat protection does not increase prices. On page 26 ef the Trade Return yon will fiud that the Province of Ontario only imported from the States last year twenty-ninemowing, reaping and threshing machines all told, their total value being 48,195 ; (h<- duty edketed on the same bring $549.20.This clearly shows that those who are en­ gaged in the manufacture of this class of implements are fully protected, so much sothat they enjoy well nigh tbu entire control of our market, yet tbe formers are not com­ pelled to pay fancy prices for machines be­ cause competition is keen and a first classarticle at a fair price will alone attract buyers. In coum-ctioti with the industryjust referred to our free trade friends have a fine chance afforded them to test their consistency, for ii their theory is correctwhy not reduce tbe tariff so a* to allow American machines to enter eur market so as to give tbe farmer still clieiper machines,and at the snnlo time furnish tbe Govern­ ment with additional revenue. Since, how­ ever, no such change is contemplated I amforced to the conclusion that they have no faith iu their oun professions. Our free trade friends further sav that protection will create monopolies. Mr. Cbarletou, now-ever, ba* exploded the objection. In bis Norfolk speech, publish 'd iu tl.s Globe of the 18lh of June, he says : “The twenty, ope eatablisbnienls which answered the circulars, he issued last winter were pay­ing an average dividend of 11 percent, on their capital. Forty-eight industrial estab- lishmeuls iu New England, with a capital of *58,000,000, were paying a dividend of 5 per cent, and that showed relatively tbe preeperily' existing in Canada under a revenue tariff and in the United Statesunder an extreme protection tariff.” This quotation furnishes ample proof that com­ petition in the New England States under i extreme protection is much keener ■ than it is in Canada under a revenue tariff, i aud according to hi* own allowing the con­ sumer in lbs former gets Ids goods 6 percent, cheaper than tiia consumer does in Canada. There is still another Idea in con­ nection with ths above. The average capital of th* establishments, referred to by Mr. Charleton, would not exceed one hun­dred thousand dollars. Tliis at 11 per eent. would produced *11,000, so that under onr revenue tariff a limited market will only attract a limited investment. Th*opposite is the case in the United States. There, protection having preserved their market has virtually enlarged it, aud al­ though the percentage of profit may not be aa large yet they can well afford to earn a tees percentage becanse they can find roomto iuveet thousands when we can net find room for hundred*. Another important question to be answered is, Will protectioncans* direct taxation? Our opponents answer this question in the affirmsliv* be­ cause it agrees with their theory. Whatdoes oommeteial history say touching thia point? Ths following extracts from the American Tariffs speak for themselves : — The revenue for ten year* under low tariff from 1888 to 1842 amounted to *214,885,-853, while for ten years under the high tariff of 1824 and 1842 the amount was 4297348,*11. being a dtfleren*. io favor ofthe high tariff of *82,968,868. Again take fifteen yean under the tow tariff oomnsenc- ing in 1847 and ending io 1881, there venaecollected during this period was •708487,- 548.48, white tba amount collected nadar 1870. 1877.Wheat,bwbefe, 235.8M.708 860,090,009 r.— 14X>k.‘2564oo 1440400,000 247,277,400 -----------------26.245,400 ' 15,473,600250.028.000 23,551,000 90,771,608 7,1464701,125316 8435482 14385.276 28.477.WI 2tt,L»K560 » alra directed to tbe Com, •* Oats, ** Barley, **Rve, “ Tobacco, lb*..

In tbe Globe ot the Rh of Jtrfy, Mr. Yoaogof Sunth Waterloo fa reported to have spoken as follows : “ With regard to ship­ ping ft waa at present o»r proud booet Hintonr mercbanlifc aloud third or fourth in tbe whole world, and the efleel of taxing that interest—of putting * duty ouwoommI eop- per and ropes, and srerytfamgr sfae enteringinto the maonfactnr* <4 stupe—would be that onr navy would dwindle down from ite high position, like that of theUnited States, which instead of hoMstrg a third or fourth place, as it oore did, bad sunk down to tbe ninth or tenth 03 tliehit." This statement of Mr. Young, so reekles* and untruthful iu nearly every particular,is fully mttin the Globe editorial on Cana­ dian shipping, and which appears in the •ameissue; “According to the Deputy Min­ister of Marine. Canada ranks fifth on tbe list of ship owning countries. Those taking urecedrnce of and immediately fidlowingher, with their registered tonnage, being found in the following table : Couxt w . Great Britain and Colonies,United States, (ucean oulv) N..rway, Italy,Canada, (including inland) Germany,Frauen,’ Now, if Mr. Young's statement were true, the United States being the ninth on the list would not appear in the above nt all, and yet the above hard facta place hersecond on the list. Mr.Gh**, however can beat even Mr. Young, be having declared that tbe United States bad lesa than onemillion tons afloat, but the political trader mmt always show an extra amount of zeal, oterwiae he will uot attract even passing at­ tention. Finally, it is said that protectionis a relic of barbarism, and that tho weight of intelligence in on the side of free trade.What about the United States ? Are they net fully np to tbe ace ? And the recent vote en Mr. Wood’s bill, the object uf winch was t> reduce the tariff, wasdefeated in a Democratic Muuae, although the Democrats have always opposed pro­ tection. Until after a trial of nearly seven­ teen yearn they too hive b o t compelled toacknowledge tho beneficial rekuita flowing from a protective policy. Look at Francein 1870, and L>ok nt her to-day. Then she iay prostrated at the feet of the triumphant Germans, to-dav she is tbe envy of Germany herself. Her beet root sugar and other sister industries fostered and bnilt np under protection, have alike astonished and commanded the admirationof the whole world. Hear what Bismark, tbe great master mind of G.rmanv, has tn say: “I bare given Free Trails a trial, and it does uot seem to have.benefitted the country commercially, industrially orfinancially. I am overwhelmed with lamentations respecting th* decline of trade and the decay of manufacturing enterprise, and with assurance from people whose judgment in snrfi matters, I enter­ tain tbe highest respect—that partial and moderate protections will remedy the evil*as if by magic. Therefore, I ah > propose to give protection a shamje." Sir A. T- Galt, in writing to Mr. Mills, says. "It has a most gloomy and depraving influence upon the mind of the country for the Par­ liament to assume the attitude of admitted incapacity to afford relief for two ancceaaiveyears." I think I have cited «noi’b to show that the leading mind* of the age are with us, even John Stuart Mill, in hiswork entitled “Principles of Political Economy,” a pronounced Free Trader admits that "Th* only mode iu which a oonntry can secure itaelf aeainst being *loser by revenue dntioe imposed by other countries on it* commodities is to impose corresponding rowans duties on theira."To-night the ladies have favored ns with thetr presence, so that brain and beanty are alike ou our side.

To ths Editor ot ths Tribune Dear Sir ,—A mon bailing from (nobody know* where), has been in our town for the past few days calling himself by the tills ot Rev. Arthur P. Devlin, (one no doubt of a doxeu aliaev) and purporting to be, according to his bills, a publio lecturer, but ou what topic was uot stated, otherwise than that ho was a reformed priest, naturally suggosting stonce to the public miud what the Mature othb arldreaa would be. Well, this individual took upon himself last Suaday to edify anlegereoll audience, with one ut fail (*u-called) ■heme and burning with indignation at tbadiagnatiugly ubecmie language Which wasthrown promisroonsly at four of oar leading Protevtaoi bodies in coaneettoa with Ex-MoukWiddows, Edith O'Qorman, one of our leadingdraggisto aad mvseif.

From the Trade and Naviga­ tion Returns of the Dominion of Canada of last year, (1877), it appearo that the to- tai value of our imports,io roe nd numbers, was 499,000,000, while our exports was only *75,000,000, or in other words, the balance of trade was against us 124,000,- 000, It is recklessly slated by our oppon­ ents that the great difference between our importe and exporta is made up by 'the profit of exchange, but when you bear in miud that our exports largely consist of farm products and that tho margin exist­ ing between the price here in Canada, aud what produce will bring in the Old Coun­ try, will not much mere than cover freight and commission, you will be abl* to see at a glance bow such a statement fails to meet the case. I find in a recent statement made by Lord Bateman, that England owing to having lost a large share of her foreign trade, aud in fact part of her home market, has the baiauca of trade against her. Bat the free traders say that Eng­ land iaatill inoreasiug in woaltb, notwith­ standing the fact that her imports exceed her export*, and that, therefore, th* balance of trad* argument ia mialsading.

It is stated that of The __ „___ . - ■ showing a* they do, beyond _____, the highly protected goods of our neighbors are driving the free trade xoods of Eng­ land oat of our market. That protection doe* not increase price* was distinctlystated bv Mr. Stewart in the United States Congress in a spar eh which he delivered about a year ago, when ha threw down the following challenge :—"The great and lead- ing objection to th* protection policy it that the duties ar* added to the price and paid by tba consumers. Now bow is the fact ? What says experiet.ee ? Now, Sir. I lay it down as a general proposition that there never we* a high protectins duty im­posed open any artiel* from the foundation of tho Government to the present day, the price of which article has not been in the end reduced—greatly reduced—in many instance to one-half, one-third, or even on*-fourth of what it had been before thereprotection duties were impo**d.

A ft* week* ago we noticed th* ship- meot of a combined mnwer aad reaper from th* wor](p of Mi-imra. Tho*. Brown Jt Co., of this town. We nov/ bar* the satisfaction of saying before our reader* a paragraph clipped from The Anntutdalt Hrrald and Mnffat Ntwi, of Lockerbie, recording a trial of its working qasliti** in th* old country. Tbe following is th* item, which speak* for itself: New Canadian Nowino and ReafinoMachine.—Tire inventive genius of our Csus-ditn offspring i* quite surprising.

In the large and ever widening field of improvementin! reaping-macliines both the Americans audtire Causdians have.dnring the last few years,made astonishing strides, and still they im­ prove. Messrs. T. Brown It Co. agriculturalimplement makers, Ingersoll, jp Ontario, Can­ada, have perfected a mower and reaper, whiuh they desire to introduce into this country.Ou the farm of Kirkton on Saturday, and onthe farm of Blackford «m Monday, the machinewas tried in a field of ryegrass hay, in thepresence of a number of farmers jn the districtof Lockerbie. Oue of tho epecial features oftho machine is its lightness of draught—only140 11m.; and its construction is so simple that the veriest tyro in agricultural machinery mayput it together and work it efficiently. OnSaturday, on the farm of Kirkton (Mr. Walk­ er*), the machine a* a mower did excellentwork i bnt as a reaper and self-deliverer itpave much satisfaction to the numerous agri­ culturalists presenL Tho reaper (which canbe attached to the mowing-machine injeasthan five minutes, on account of the ingenions but simple connecting apparatus) leaves thosheave* clear of the horses, and the machineis easily guided. Mr Walker’* aon, who hadnever Keen tbe machine Wore, drove it very sncceaafully. . On Monday the mower wastried on meadow hay at Blackford,and workedalso exceedingly well The name of the com­ bined mower and reaper is “The MeadowLark." Mess’”, Brown A Uo. had also a hay­rake tried at Kirkton on Saturday, the dis­ tinguishing feature of which is a foot-soringwhich lifts the teeth and clears them or thegathered hay. The youthful son of Mr. Wm. Jardine of Dryfobridge, with a pony, did verycreditable woik with the rake.

Business has been rery good in onr vil­ lage during the past ssasot , d Rwitliston I- ing tho unusually dull times exporioncod in most pLwas. I havo nothing particular to note this time, bnt will give you tho names of a few of onr best business mon. In the firat place lot me say that anyone who intends etoying in the village fur a short time will fiud in Mr. D. F. Jelly, of the Creamer House, an obliging and pains­ taking landlord, nnd ono who will do all in his power to contribute to the comfort of hie guests. The Bdmant H ime, kept by Mr. G-. W. Olin dead, is als> a pleasant resort, and its landlord just tho right ra m in tho right place, and all who miy fivorthis honso will certainly be well looked after. It is th’ heft lquartera of the daily stage between Belmont afl'l London, which is also car­ ried on by Mr. 01uni.’*di and is an addi­ tional advantago to t'ai cporooiiajo of the hotel and the travelling public.

ArrLi-TBM Bo rir l —Every one who owns au orchard, or even a single tree, should now lie looking after the borera, to see that their trees are not destroyed. If taken early, it is not a very hard task to destroy the peat* by the use of a pockect-kuife and wire. Tmxstxa Fr uit.—On small trees, at least, fruit should bo thinned out so as not to in­ jure the vitality of the tree by its over-bear­ ing ; and on large trees, too, it is advisable ; for the fruit that is left ou the tree will be very much 'larger and every way nicer, than if it wereaD left on to mature. PnusivK'-^Nirir b a good time to cut off all suckers from the trees, and remove all superfluous limbs, if it was not attended to earlier in the season ; and where Urge limits are removed, it iaal ways a good plan to apply a good coat of paint to the wound. Grafts which were set last spring should now re­ ceive promptattasibu, and if more are grow­ ing than b dairable, they should be re­ moved. Tuawru—It b not too late to sow these firn atock-bcding purposes although I have had better satisfaction with early than late sowing j and as a general thing, I believe farmers do not sow their turnips early «nuugh> Tae Garden-.—This plotofground b often sadly neglected at thia season,when haying and harvesting are requiring the attention of all hands, but it should not be so, for in the summer season, when we can get green veg­ etables fresh from the garden, it should by all means bo attended to, and the weeds kept from growing. As a rale, tflb garden b not appreciated by thu farmer tu it ought to be. WfftR TOR Stock.—This matter should b« attended.to by ill owners of stock, to see tliat they have a^gooS ‘supply of fresh water at all times ; for in hot weather it •ften happens that’ stock suffer for the want of water, I bare often seen cows obliged to driuR out of a dirty mudhole, when by a little labor tljoy might hare had good water to drink out of a trough. Is it not strange why some men are so slack about important mat- Domedk Hecdipift. Biackbemiy Pm—MakoMieipaateu usual, , and place the trader crust upon a deep tin,and ’ the upper ona, cut the right sise, on a flat tin; prick both erwtte *to prevent blistering, and bake until nicely browned. Fill the under crust, -while ‘hot, with ripe blackberries; : sprinkle powdered sugar over them,cover with the fiat crust, and return to the oven for a few ■Rliaute*—just long enough to heat the fruit. This jns may bo served with crewm and sugar, and,according to our taste, is preferable to the average berry pie withits siskABnd heavy oruste Ca u d xat s Ammoxia Cooties.—One annee of carbonate ammonia,one pint of sweet cream.’ two teacupfuls of sign, •‘hilf a grated nutmrg, and flour to roll very thin. Ammonia Bros je 'Ckke.—Three egas, oue |cup of sugar, one-cup of flour,ngp tablespoon fnl bntterfone teaspoonful pulveised carbonate of antniohia,dissolved in a very little hot water 1 and added the last tiling- Flavor with nut­ meg. Baked Tomatoes.—Scald and peel a suffici­ ent quantity of smooth, round tomatoes; put into a decpea then ware dish, sprinkle plentiful­ ly with salt and pepper; have'a teaeupful or more—according to the quantity of tomatoes —of fine cracker crumbs, and spread over the top. Bake in a quick oven from thirty to forty-five minutes. Drop a few lumps of but­ ter onto the tomatoes and serve. Tomatoes ox the Half-shel l.—Have toasted a few slices of bread nice and brown; butter,ent in half,and place where it is warm. Select tomatoes wkiiA arc smooth, and not cwor-ripo; out in two—flat-wise—and put,skin down, mt a hot grtderun; serve on slices of toast with butter pepper and salt. We have eaten them with a teacupful of hot cream poured around the slicos of toast aud tomatoes —ths addition of which did not istpreve them to our taste. Scal loped , Tomatom—Peel as many ripe tomatoes as required; cut into slices, and place in a pudding dish first,, a layer of tomatoes seasoned with butter, pepper and salt, then a thick layer of bread cruiulj-.also seasoned with butter, pepper and salt. Thus alternate the laycn until the dish is nearly full, having to­ matoes last; and ixibe une-bolf Lour or long­ er if tho ovcu be not hot. Tomato Sorr.—Take of a neck piece or from the round, two or three pounds of beef. remove every particle of fat, aud cut tho meat into very small pieces; put into the kettle, with two or three quarts of cold water, and simmer for one hour; as the scum arises, re­ move, and keep the kettle covered ; strain the meat from the broth,and add a quart of toma­ toes, which have been pressed through a col- ( lander, with a bunch of parsley, and boil twenty minutes; cut and scrape the kernels from three earn of sweet corn, and add to the soup, with a half teacupful of sweet cream,two small tablcspoonfuls of flour, pepper and salt; boil fifteen mftiutee and serve.
