The Great Western Railway Company likewise finds its advantage in having a steamboat built at. Detroit instead of in Canada or Great Britain.” Besides a long list of converts like- the News, we could name numbers of our wes. tern contemporaries who are searching after light, but at present are slightly bewildered as to the right direction to take. The fol- lowing extract from an article in the P60- these honest-hearted wavering ones most truth- fully. It says :â€"â€"“ We have received from a correspondent a letter, which we print, for the reason that it very well exemplifies the confusion of thought prevailing among peo- ple here, who imagine themselves to be free- traders while they are in reality protec- tionists. The correspondent aforesaid re- presents a numerous class amongst us, with whom sound prevails over sense, and who take the supposed connection between Liber- aliSm in politics and what is called ‘ free trade,’as decisive oftlie controversy at once. But draw them away from certain ‘ glitter- ing generalities’â€"and bring them down to practical details, and they are as much pro- tectionists as anybody in Canada needs to be to deserve the name. Ask them, for instance, whether tea, coffee,and cane, sugar, being articles that we do not and cannot produce at home, while they are also articles of' daily use in the pOO‘jcst, householdsâ€" should not be admith free, and they will answer ‘ycs.’ 01:, again, whether it is wise for us to give our neighbors free access to our markets with their produce, while in their markets our produce is subjected to a heavy toll, and they will answer ‘no.’ Or whether they do not believe that excise du- ties are a peculiarly troublesome impost, giving great annoyance and hindrance to domestic manufactures, and they will most- ly answet ‘ yes.’ We say, confidently, nine out often oftliose who, in this country, are led away by the more sound of ‘ free trade,’ and its supposed connection with Liberalism and Reform in politics, would answer these questions just as we have above. And a pcrusuzil of our correspornlciit’s letter leaves no doubt in our minds that he would answer the same way. There are a few points in the letter which we. propose to notice seriatism. “It is not true that the protective sys- tenr is advocated only by a. few manufac- turers. It is advocated by the thousand of mechanics and laborers who, by means of it, get work that otherwise would be done abroad, and by the farmers to whom it se- Wc are prepared to count votes arry’day, and to have the question decided on which side are ‘ the many,’ and on which side ‘ the t‘ew.’ ”â€"â€"Montreal Star.

Toronto, August 17, 1871.7 THE MARKHAM INQUEST. ...__. To the Editor of the York Herald. SIR: Believing that the exposure of the guilty is the duty of every good citi- zen and lover of fair play, and that no means are more potent or honorable than the press, I trust you will insert this communication in your extensively read journal. As your readers are already aware, an inquest was held at Victoria Square, by Coroner McMaster of York Mills, to enquire into the cause of the death of the illegitimate child of Fanny Williams: the verdict of I the jury result- ing in her committment for trial. I do not deny that in the interests of justice it may be desirable to hold Coroner’s inquests, but I do think that the same high sense of duty which prompts the holding of thémi WOuld, if genuine, sug- gest the propriety of impartially conduct- ing them. Many of the people of Victoria Square and vicinity were seriously of the opinion that the officers of justice were as a class, courteous, and, had not Coroner McMaster held this in- inquest,they might probably have finished their pilgrimage in this vale of tears without ever having had the satisfaction of having seen any of the fraternity, whose mind was pro-occupied with so high a sense of justice and the public good as to exclude all idea of courtesy. When it is remembered that the majority of the people of tie neighborhood have not travelled very extensively, and that they are in the habit of meeting with only ordinary coroners, and not with the rarer and more interesting specimens of that happy species, their utter inability to appreciate Coroner McM.’s efforts to in- ducc the jury to return a verdict crimi- nating the mother of the child, and their indignation at finding that the jury were unduly influenced by him may, if not; commendable, at least be pardonablc. That a certain amount of sympathy should be felt for the persons that were appear, I question whether, even after such infallible proof, the public enter- tain any higher idea of the gentleman’s moral qualities and hatred of crime in every shape. Much as it may indi- cate obtuseness on their part, it is never- theless true that all who heard, or heard of it persist in not thinking highly of the coroner, and all attempts to persuade them to believe that such conduct is indicative of high moral rectitude would, I verily believe, utterly fail. Yours, &c., X MARKHAM, Aug. 15, 1871. To the Editor of the York Herald. In my last, I attempted to point out the duties of every citizen to the state, and the responsibilities that naturally rests upon the shoulders of every true man, in his relation to the‘government that secures to him safety in life and property. New sir, as all men are very wisely not made in the same mould, and of course found not presenting the same characters of thought, feeling or senti- ment, we may not be surprised to find that in every system of government the mass will take sides; some from the reasons above given, and often a large majority from local prejudices, private influence, and then that mesnicric influ- ence which carries so many with what appears to be the stronger side. This latter class would be fearfully insulted, if you told them they were not indepen- dent electors. And yet they are the very class of men who, if' they have the intelligence, are too lazy or indifferent to make use of it in the exercise of their just privileges, and therefore the class against which organization should be di- rected. In England we have the modi- fications of Whig and Tory; the radical and conservative elements in Canada. In the great neighboring Republic, De- mocrat and Republican, and in unfortu- nate France the sublimated refinement of the republican element as seen in the nities.

I believe srr, that this sentiment coming as it did from one of the bright- est minds that, like a meteor, ever flashed athwart' our horizon, may be deemed al- most; prophetic.

Will it be believed that he pooh-poohcd all the medical evidence taken at the inquest as utterly valueless, simply because it was not. calculated to criminatc the mother of the child,‘ stating at the same time that this case was almost, or wholly unparalleled in the history of medical jurisprudence, and one which ordinary medical men such as Drs. Langstaff, Reid, Diamond and McConnell were not supposed to be acquainted with. I beg pardon for in- sinuating that he acted as a judge at all, there not being the slightest justification for the assertion. What would be thought of a judge who would so far compromise his personal dignity and sense of right- and wrongnnot to men- tion his oath of officeâ€"as to browbeat a jury and threaten them with being ad- journed from place to place indefinitely 'until they arrived at a verdict: and who, when only one more was necessary to give such a verdict as he wished, would offer to treat all hands to the best in the house if that one more were obtained.

Ta ay effect our private interests. If we as a free people comply with the laws which we ourselves are supposed to have enacted, let the part we take in their construction be real and honest. If we would succeed in winning East and West. York ttfihe liberal conserva- tive interest, we must begin with faith in our cause, and faith in ourselves. Our motto should be that of the celebra- ted French Premier, Cardinal Richelieu, “ never say fail”; let all the best ener- gies of our being be bent on the work before us. Every man of intelligence should become a centre of influence for progress in his own neighborhood; and in order to be prepared to influence his neighbors, let him first educate himself. The press teeming with instruction on these matters will at once become his tutor for the paltry consideration of from $1 to $5 per annum. A knowledge of the history of this, his own or adopted country; of the doings of parliament for the last. twenty years, and of the House of Commons and Local Legislaâ€" ture for the past 4 years, will all be of use to the young Canadian before placing himself in the arena of a political contest; for, Mr. Editor, what we believe in should always be worth fighting for. If this state of things prevailed generally, we are prepared to leave the j ustness of our cause to the fair judgment of the free and independent electors of these counties. The question of organization has become quite as serious :1 question in politics, as it has ever been with any community or society that professes to elevate or benefit mankind. In the hut- rying bustle of trade and commerce, the untiring industry of the agriculturist, and the never-ending responsibilities of the professional man; we are liable to lose sight of those serious and vital sub- jects which so materially affect the body politic. When an election occurs how familiar the phrase “ it matters not, I ken, who gangs in, they’re all alike; eh, man, they’ll spend the money any way.” NOW this tendency to indifference on the ples underlying their platform.
