RICHMOND HILL ; ONT THURSDAY. APRIL 10, 1879 Beneficial Results of fine Na- tional Policy. Our contemporary, the Liberal, hasi' been distinguishing itself in a very re- ,1 markable manner, the last few weeks, by i, its illogical condemnation of the National , l’olicy._ (According to our friend the country is rapidly “going to the dogs,” t â€"-to use a homely but forcible phrase, Our triend, of course, is not consistent‘ in his arguments, but then that could1 not be expected. The Globe has to be‘ followed, no matter what the result may be. It does seem absurd, though, on,‘ this account to endeavor to prb've thati the National Policy will not increase the iprice of an article,â€"and that it will: heavily tax the people, as our friend has been trying to do. We maintain thatl the National Policy has already bene-i gfited the country, and that it will con-' tinue to do 'soin a greater degree as it I is more thoroughly tested. The non- sensical arguments brought forward by those who oppose it, hardly need any refutation, they will contradict and? hang themselves, if time and opportu- nity ls only given. There is some talk about the business of two of our manufacturers being so affected by the l tariff that they have to dismiss a num- ber of hands, and work on half-time. Whether the gentlemen referred to wish this inference to be drawn from their 3 action, we are not aware. but can safely l say that in this andother cases, a very little investigation will show how utterly groundless and untrue such reasons are. There are instances in the country where an effort is made, in a similiar manner, to create political capital against the Conservatives at the coming local contest, but beyond a few manoeuvres of this kind, we apprehend our Reform friends can find but little ground on which to base their allegations. it is true that the framers of this tarifi' are not infalliable, and are liable to make a few errors, but speaking generally, the effect of the new tariffhas been to infuse new life and energy into the industries of the country Time will show what defects it may contain, and with these removed or modified, we shall go on to flourish and prOFper. Let our friend of the Liberal and others who row in a similar boat read the record given below of the industries that are either increas‘ ing their capacity, or starting new busi- ness since the “happy day" that saw the opponents of a National Policy driven from office, and then weep!

Village Council $1.40 w wâ€" -w At a meeting held in the Court House, on Friday evening, the 213tult., all present seemed to think that the Council should keep the present ‘engine in as good a state of repair as} possible, and that a new engine should be procured if it could be got with very Would it not be. a good plan to discuss this subject through the Press? We will therefore, state our views regarding the matter as briefly as possible. We believe that every house, as a better protection from fi-e, should be provided with ’at least two ladders to gain access to the roofs, also two other ladders with hooks nothing definite was arrived at. roof,allowing men to run up and down with safety. At such times a box with hammer and nails in it, would be a great advantage' The want of such things were keenly felt at the late fire. We noticed on that occasion the great help afforded in putting woollen blankets on the roofs and sides ot buildings ex- posed; which are calculated to retain When the wooden 'roof's and sides ol houses, it immediately runs off, leaving the building almost as dry as ever, but the blankets retain the water for a considerable time, and thus afford protection from fire. Hence arises, no doubt, the old saying, “like throwing a wet blanket on the fire. Every night before retiring to rest, the head of the house should see that'the gates and doors of the out- houses the moisture longer than wood. water is thrown on greater are properly secured against Every house should have a safe place to put ashes into. A great many fires take place In consequence ot'carelessness in this respect. These are among the few things that house. holders should attend to. For we do not believe in laying all the blame on the Council, when the peOple at large are equally as careless about their own premises. It would not be a bad notion for the Inspector to take an inventory of all the ladders in the village, with the owner’s names, and publish it in the village papers. tramps. The eyes of some grumblers would be opened to their own slzort comings. little expense to theratepayersgâ€"but' at the end, that could be placed on the l m Ham’sâ€"r What Shdul’d' be Done; We will now touch on the great ques tion of a new fire engine, and the duty of the Council in regard to the sanie. We believe it would be '0 the advantage of the village to have a new engine, but you‘ld not go as far as some do, and say, tflebwe should have one worth from Wdeh’ hundred dollars. In our opinion, an engine could be purchased, for five hundred dollars or even less that in connection with the one we have, would suit the requirements of this village. It has been said that the great trouble with the engine we now have, is in the lul'LfDOE-S of the pumps. 01" course, notbt-Eng engineers, we cannot speak pesilively on this point, but if such is the case why not. put new pumps in, and make it as efficient as possible. Clearly it is the duty of the Council to look this business squarely in the face and do what. they believe would be for the interest of the ratepayers at large, and never mind being laughed at occa- sionally, as it has been said that “fools ” Now the next consideration is the paying for laugh at their own t'olly. these things tha‘. appear so necessary. We think this would be a good year for purchasing an engine, for with the taxes at the same rate as last year, it could be paid for without ruuning in debt, at least such is the opinion of a great many ratepayers. We submit the above to the earnest consideration ofthe tax payers and invrte them to a full discusâ€" sion of this subject through the ‘columns of the HERALD. The second regular meeting of' the newly organized Farmer’s Club was,held in Victoria Hall, Unionville, on Satur- day the 5th inst.
