This is the first grand meeting of the campaign, and we feel assured it will be a successful one. The action of the Conservatives in this matter appears very creditable, straightforward and manly, when contrasted with that per sued by the Reformers. Our Reformi friends, being alarmed about the election1 of their candidates, have recently at-‘ tempted to boster up or renew the con-l fidence ofthe people in their standard. bearers and party, by holding Socials throughout the Riding. Instead of coming out boldly and seekinga free and fair discussion ofall public questions relating to or affecting the Local House, they have preferred select social gather-l ings, where they would have the matter all their own way. Whether such is their openly avowed intention or not, their opponents have been given to un- derstand that their presence was not desirable,â€"that controversy was not the object of the Social, and that these gatherings were of a social, friendly na« ture. Well, they are,of course, at liberty to continue such a course, if they prefer it; but, it does seem as though the cause was Weak, and incapable of successful defence. The Conservatives, however, particularly request the Reform candi- dates(and their friends) to the present,not fearing that their arguments can be con- troverted. There is no reason why this meeti ng should not be a grand success. The ge ntlemen announced to address the audience are able and forcible speakers. The electors will then have an opportu- nity ofhearing both sides of these ques. tions from the leaders or candidates of either party, and will be able to form their opinions as to whether the present Government have not proven recreant to their professions; whether they have not abused the trust eonfid ed in them: have proven extravagant and grossly partizan in many public matters, reâ€"1 gardless of the interests ofthe County, 3 and should not- be succeeded by more‘ honest, more capable, and ablerl men. Let every friend of good Gov-. ernment, work to procure a large at; tendance. The Conservatives have nothing to dread from a free discussion, and we are satisfied the result of this meeting will be in their favor. Business Prospects brightenâ€" ing in the States. New Jersey’s peach crop promises to be the heaviest know in many years. Thousands of pcdimcuters are being manufactured in Newark, N J., for Europe. The building interest in Chicago looks bright. Small houses for retail trade are in demand. Boston‘s boot and shoes trade is fairly active. Ready made goods are reported to be in demand. At Troy,N Y, the iron works are all busy. Twelve hundred and fifty tons of steel rails are produced by the Bes- semer \Vorks weekly, an unexampled product. All the foundries are running, and a first-class season is anticipated by stove manufacturers. The linen goods business in all its branches, promises well.

The New York [Jerald gives some business notes among which are the fol‘ lowing.â€" Work for the Day is Coming. It is announced by large posters that a Public Political Meeting, in the in- terest of the Conservatives of the three Ridings of' the County of York, will be held in the Masonic Hall, Richmond Hill, on Friday, April 28th. Mr Meredith, the leader of the Opposition in the Ontario Legislature, and Messrs. Morris, Scott, Foy, Tyrrell and Robin- son, and the Conservative Uandidate for North York, will deliver addresses on all public questions relating to the L0- cal House. The Reform candidates tor three Ridings of Y ork and their friends, are requested to be present. The pub- lic are invited to attend. THURSDAY.

BAD ROADâ€"Certain parts of Yonge street are in very bad condition just new, and a “hog hole” at the south end «:r'rhe village, in front of the English Church caps the matter. It is almost iniposmhle to get across this spot with a heavy load. A number of teams were stuck there during the week, and had considerable difficulty in getting out. A very heavy load will sink down almost up to the axle trees, as was the case with the Toronto bus on Monday evenâ€" ing last. Something should he done immediately to put this piece of road in a better condition. FARMING,~â€"â€"Thos.

The comâ€" pilers of the State Law, live of them, who have been at work since 1876, have at last got their work ready. You can know what I mean when I tell you that the old Mexican Laws, as also those of the Republic of Texas have never been abrogated only changed so as to suit the immergeney of the time. So that as the News put it not long since, neither Judge nor Jury up till the present time from the highest to the lowest, really knew what the law was. The present digest is intended to do away with these complications, and render the disburse- ment of law what itis in every civilized eonntry,â€"-what it is not. here,â€"-simple and easily understoodâ€"not full of in- consistancies, contradictions, and the most incongruous vagaries and uncer- tainties. Such a “state of condition’7 of things you can easily see would no cessarily stamp its full figure on the mental optics of its subjects, The press has not had time yet to pronounce upon the merits of' the work in question. The Galveston News since the late elec- tions, has thrown offits gloves and all though nominally a democratic paper, is essentially _ new as radical in tone as ever the Toronto Globe was. It has correspondents in all places of any note, ‘ two ofwhich, one in San Antonio, and i one signing himself N. A.

Mr Badgerow, Reform candidate for the Local representation of Last York, stated at the meeting held in EBrown’s Corners, on the lsb inst, and designated by the Globe as a hole and corner meet- ing, that the Ontario Government was out of debt. Can you reconcile the two statements, there seems to be an anomaly somewhere. If you can do so. I have no doubt that your Reform friends will hold you in everlastingre- meinbcrance.

Again I find they have boldly professed to have got eorreet statistics of the amount colleeled under Dunkin, and paid into Municipalities, I need scarcely point out. the faet that this is altogether imâ€"â€" possible as yet. First, because the year is not. expired; and secondly, the Provincial Secretary’s report only brings this matter forward to December, and lastly, the Government are net yet aware how much they may be able to return to the Municipalities until expenses are returned and paid. I am informed, however, that the Commissioners intend publishinga report as nearly correct as possible at the end of this month.

Thornhill, April 11. 1879.] DEAE SIR.â€"â€"â€"In reply to my friends, of the Economist and Era, I beg to say, that the little shot fired at these gentlcâ€", men over a month since, has had the; effect intended, viz: acted as a stimuâ€"J lant tonic. At any rate, it has had the effect of arousing their latent energicsl to the investigation of a subject, that from their own confession, must have been as a sealed letter to them up to1 that date. Let us review their double statement, ““"e have all the evils of the traffic, and are deprived of the License fund.” By the Provincial Secretaries report of 1878, I find there are five hundred less committments in the County of York, including Toronto, than in the preceding year, and I will leave it to the common sense of these gentlemen, if anything,r has occurred in the social statutes of Toronto during the last year-,that would or could possibly account for this reâ€" markable change for the better. Indeed, the Secretary of the Province, Mr. Hardy, does not commit himself to an opinion. Yet is it not rational to sup- pose that the Dunkin Act was a powerâ€" ful factor in this decrease in crime, especially when we find this favorable report to be true also of Northumberâ€" land, Durham. Ontario, Prince Edward. as well as York. ’ In Bruce, Grey and Lanark we find the officials very weak in their execution of the law, and hence the effect is not so clear. I might in this connection, also state, that I hold letters from some of the more prominent and leading gentlemen of the principal towns and villages of the County, who assert that where the law has been cfliâ€" eiently carried out, that the sale of liquor has been seiiisibly decreased, and the amount of drunkeness reduced to a minimum. In the history of Legisla- tion, perhaps, no other law has received so much oppo-ition. The whiskeyâ€" sellers boldly defying it, and the tiplers at all times ready to steep themselves in the debauchery of lying and fraud in order to defend those who pander to their unnatural appetites. Under these circumstances it is quite wonderful that i the Dunkin law has been able to make ,any l‘eadway against this traiiic that ,has been developing through the cenâ€" ‘turics gone by. The liquor traffic has ,become so incorporated with our social ‘institutions,so much a part of our every day business life that we are not asâ€" tonished at finding sympathies for it permeating even to the sanctum of the fourth estate. Yet while we are preâ€" pared to recognize epicurian remains of a. barbaric age running through every avenue of modern life, we are not quite contented to zillow the leaders of public opinion, and the promoters of modern thought to become the chamâ€" pions of this vile system which the wise and good of all nations are Willing to admit is sapping the foundations of the National existanee. This is why I took the liberty of saying that these gentle-â€" men should know better than to allow their& otherwise valuable journals to become the channels through which the miasmatic evil of unchastized errors should be conveyed to the people, and whose pages week other week contain a chronic sneer against the Temperance workers of this County. I am quite willing to admit that in giving the ‘amount paid from the License to the municipalities in the year before Dunkin came into force, I made the mistake of taking the figures from the column paid to the Government. However, I will now request my friends of the two papers to turn to Provincial Secretary’s report for 1877, and they will find that instead of $9,000 as they make it, that on page 5-} Schedule E. of this report, the amounts paid into Municipalities, minus expenses, not including statutory fees: York East........................$3» 879 65 York West .................. 1032 75 York North... ........... 1670 18 Dr Reid in Defence of the Dunkln Act. 70 the Editor of the Ikrald: 1 remain, yours. etc JOHN N, REID. DO ‘I L0 i Mr.Boultbee said that a few years since he had largely formed his ideas on this sub- ject on the opinions of the homgentlcman Iwho had just sat down. At. that time young in politics,he ( Mr.Boulthee)was, like many others Carried away by the spe- i’cious term of Free-trade.just as men were lmisled by the name of ief‘ormfind he adopted doctrines which he was now satis- fied were erroneous. He had taken an active part in discussing this question during .the last election,and was satisfied that the ;position he then took,and the 'position so largely taken in Ontario at that time,was a correct one. The member for North Norf‘olhph Charltonjhadas much talent now ias he ever had;conscquently if the speech .he had just made was so infinitely inferior in its matter and its manner to the one in favour of Protection,it must be because his l present rause was a bad one. That gentle- iman had failed to convince any-one by his spec'chghe had not convinced the benighted farmers who had returned him to this House; he had not even convinced himselfghc said .that the people of this country were the Ldupes of the Government,and that the course the Government was now taking was such as to betray the confidence rcposed in them by the people. He(Mr.Boultbee] apprehended that a totally opposite state of things was the case. The Government are acting now as men should act in carrying 1nto effect the duty of an administration, under our system of responsible government. The honeentlemen went on to say that the proposed Legislation was a servile imitation lofthe American system. Ido not know :whnt he means by that. I take it at any rate, to be a very feeble argument to resort to. There is no servile imitation of the tStates in the adoption of a policy which was different to our own,but which was eminently successful in a country subject to nearly the snare conditions as Canada. :Thc people of this country have the ques- ' tion before them, and have to deliberate upon it;they have got to determine what is suitable for them.and when they have done this,they inaugurate legislalion, through their representatives,to give an expression of their views. This is what the h0n.g(‘ntle- man calls set-vile imitation. His argument is most narrow minded and absurd. We [can do nothing wiser than follow the wcil» tried and sucoe sinl legislation of others. Dr McLauglin of Bowmanville has been chosen as the Reform Candidate for West Durham, in place of the late John McLeod. Mr A H Roe, of Napanee, has been selected by the L 0 Association of Len nox, to contest that Riding). manufacturing got)ds,atid whether the peo- ple went north,south east or west,l"actories were requircdfio supply the needs of their rapid developement. Then the hon.gentle« man read a resolution passed at some meet» ing in the United States. Well,Sir,I be- lieve it is well understood; thanabove all lollierstthe American people are a great people for What they cnll"resolutingf’they tare very find of holding large meetings and passing very fine resolutions, but fic- qnently, after they have done “resoluting’ they practic f‘X'lClly the opposite.‘ They [resolute in favor of tree trade and they practice a very close protecti-on,and they ‘ have prnctiscd’ it very successfully. Un- der the largest war debt in the world with every industry crushed by the war, their national resuscitation has been most wonder Will and this because they have created their ‘own wealth by the protection and devlop: ment of their own industries. Now, the “text rernmlt,tlte horrgentlemun who had set down EMr. (‘hnrltonj is important in tthis way,ns it. socks in a measure to lead t‘. 9 people away from the teal issues that in- it'tucnced them in the lust election. He made some eloquentremarks about the peo~ \ple being;r lured away and duped by the specious pledges and promises ol'the geoth- mnn who now form the Government, and that they were led to commit the great sin tot turning out. honest gentlemen such as those who recently occupied the Treasury benches on this Protection question alone. lAs these words fell from the liongentle- Fman’s lips,[ almost fancied I could see a "tenr trickling down his cheek‘as he thought. iol‘ his changed fortunes,hecnuse his friends ihad been forced out into the cold by Pro- Lteclion. The truth was that ,the result of 'the election hinged greatly on the fact‘ lthat the people of the country felt that the j lGovernment and the men who supported ‘ them,wcre unable and unwilling to look after the true interests of the country,or to act up to the people’s hehests. I do not say that the gentlemen forming the Gov- ernment and their supporters were dishonest ‘ because that would be not only unpurlia- l mentarydtut utihncoming;but } do say that l the people oflhc country felt thnt they were } not only incapablebut dishonest,nnd passed their verdict at the polls to that effect. There was another [actor in consideration equally important in influencrng the people at the last election. They had had a trial of gentlemen who are now in Opposition and: of the gentlemen who were now at the head of the Governrncnt,mrd in that, trial the late Government had been found want- ing, while the leaders of the present Admitt- istration had gained their trust and confiâ€" dence,nnd in them the people believed they had men capable of framing financial mea. sures which would tend to foster the in- dustries of the country and redeem it from its troubie. They had a rooted distrust of the late Finance Minister but believed Mr. Tilley. The hon.member for North Nor- follr [Mr.Charlton)noxt gave us a short dis-1 seriation on the fact. that goods posing from one dealer to another, from the wholesale Mr Boultbee’s Speech In the House on the National Policy. The horrgentleman says the tariff was made a direct political issue. How, Sir, could it be otherwise ? The people were then represented in the Government by a set of men who obstinately closed their eyes to what the views and necessities of the people were,and who were so bound up in their own selfish obtuseness,and so ignorant and regardless of every principle of respon- sible governmentfihat they overlooked {and disobeyed the opinion of the people who had sent them to be their representatives, allowed the country to sink from bad to wm-se,and then admitted they could take no step for its redemption, that they were utterer unable to bring about any remedi- al legislation. ’I‘herciore,the question was made a direct political issue,as it ought, and these men were beaten ignominiously at the polls.
