The debate on Sir Richard Cart- wright's resolution in favor of Un- restricted Reciprocity ended in the small hours of Saturday morning. By a majority of fifty-seven in a House of one hundred and ninety- one, Canada’s Parliament declared in favor ofa tariflr opposed to all sound economical principles and to the manifest teachings of geography. The speeches on both sides of the House were fair, tree trom personal- ities, and, viewed from the respect- ive standpoints ofthe speakers, able and argumentative. In the mam, the Government contended that Un- restricted Reciprocity is disloyal and prejudicial to Canadian commercial interests ; the Opposition inststed that loyalty to Canada must be pre. lerred to loyalty to Sheffield and Birmingham, and that while free trade between the United States and the Dominion would benefit nineâ€" teen-twentieths of our people, the only branches ofindustry hurt would be those weak bantlings whose very existence is dependent on high duties. RICHMOND HILL. Thursday, April 12. '88 1â€" ‘fix;ޤ3:KjMu )odie. Changeâ€"J03. Dilworth It is to be observed trom the vote given that the Opposition made four converts from protectionist doctrines, but that the Government failed to secure one. It is further to be ob- served that the majority against Unrestricted Reciprocity is not as large as that given against the National Policy in [878. The sup- porters ot the present ministry were, moreover,pledged.,i and elected to stand by the N". '19., and they could not honorably, theretore, vote other- wise than they did. The advocates of Unrestricted Reciprocity have no cause for discouragement. If the agitation of a few months has pro- dnced such a strong phalanx of friends, the agitation of a very tew years will bring victory. All great reforms have started with minorities. \Vhenever the reform has proved genuine, however, the majority to accomplish it has never been want- Notice to Fm mereâ€"J. J.

Medicated Be}t.s:Electric Belt Co‘ In the Toronto Mail, oi Tuesday last, is an article in which protest and argument are used against the system that prevails in our schools of making the examination the final proof of scholarship. Now, here we have a man of straw. The ex- amination is not made the final proof of scholarship, but it is assuredly used as the best practical test of work done. we are not of those that think that the sweetest songs are never sung, that the noblest thoughts are never penned, that the most hermc actions are never done. Least of all are we 0t those who think that the most brilliant and highly ecjncated boys and girls are tho‘qewivho {ailat the examlnation. ATi'd that teaching which does not result in enabling a boy to give a good token of progress made by set- ting down in black and white what he knows of a subject ,.i$3..§.nspic10us teaching, is defective teaching. is no teaching. Let the opponents of the examination propose its substitute. Then we may consider the propriety of discarding the “ Exam.” @119 ‘é’ihcml.
