S. Taiiflf Bill which came into effect last Friday is a rather iu- tcrestJDg docameut. Thid bill states one of its purpobts to bo "to encourage the industries of the United States", and a careful study shows how woll this iutentiou is carried out. For years the United States has boon guarded by a high tariff wall, and iu scale quarters it was expected that this would be very much lowered by by the new Act. However, the Senators and Congressmen evidently looked at the matter in a different light, and the result is that Canada's exports to the Slates, which in the past have been comparatively small, will in future be very much smaller. The bill does not affect Canadian manufacturers very seriously, for the old tariff almost prohibited the im- portation of Canadian manufactured goods into the States. It does, how- ever, affect our farmers, who may be interested iu a few of the items. The duty on wheat has been increased to 80 cents per bushel and on oatd and rye, to 20 cents per bushel, the duty on rye having been doubled. Potatoes are to pay 45 cents per bushel, barley 30 cents per bushel, hay $1 per ton, and butter C cents per pound. These rates are from two to two and one half times greater than the Canadian rales, and ii looks to The Advance like a declaration from our neighbors that they do not want any more Canadian farm produce. At any rate the effect of the new bill will be to almost pro- hibit our exporting it to them. Wc really do not blame the States for this action. It is business on their part, and good business too. Through a high tariff they have built up huge industries until now they rank as ofie of the foremost commercial countries of the world. That they realize this is plainly shown by the general increase iu the duties on farm produce, and in view of the benefits derived from their tariff, it would indeed have been strange had they not followed this coarst. Canada might well take a lesdon from her shrewd friends, who know the value of ample protection being afforded to all classes of industry, and who use their knowledge 80 well to their own advantage, as shown by the provisions of tlie new Act. â€".A drinks wore freely sold. Authorities differ coocemiDg the legality cf ^e matter so it is likely the Government will make a test case to determine the exact meaning of the law- -L.F. K. To make an agricultural exhibition what it ought to be requires the fullest co-opcration of each individual in the terrilory of the society. East Grey Society has issued its annual prize list and a good list it is in very many respects. But the list of "specials" is a sore disappointment. Only five! And throe of those are given by poultry fanciers for specials iu that department. Where are the npccial prizes from the stock, men â€" cattle, sheep, hogs and horses-the gardener?, the lloi'isls and the fancy work enthusiasts? Flesherton should have the best of the local fairs ; it can have, ii every citizen does his duty to the society. France, Germany and the United States are not the only countries experimenting with airships today. Canadian aviators have been meeting with excellent success at Potewawa military camp. In a severe test, the "Silver Dart" proved a success, carry- ing two passengcisand responding to lier driver perfectly. Another type of ship, the Baddcck No. 1, is being tried this week and the inventors expect her to surpass the ".Silver Dart", the invention of the venerable Dr. Graham Bell. Toronto despatch- cs claim a resident of that city has constructed a machine at Mimico and common report says it is a great success. Truly histoiy is being raado fast these days. Temperance people in Toronto are facing an unexpected development arising Jrom the cancelling of forty- one licenses for the sale of liquors. Twelve of tho former license holders are seeking city restaurant licenses- five have obtained them â€" and under these their bars were open last 6unday, Sandwiches and local option It is rumored that the C. P. B. is negotiating for proprietary rail ri^jhts from the northwest straight through to the gulf of Mexico. If the project is carried through it will mean anothei outlet for Canadian wheat. In view of the growing trade relations with Mexico this later move will prove beneficial to Canadians as a whole. o One of our contemporaries Minds up an article on the vandalism of certain athletes with the following homily : "And when the whole thing is summed up athletic sports do far more harm than good." Just why tho whole list of athletics should be thusly knocked because several parti- cipants overstep bounds, is not made clear. The person who would abolish sports would do away with a stimulus for the young and would kill all desire for healthy competition and physical devclopemeut. Just what the harm iu sports referred to IS not readily apparent, but it cannot compare with the effects of a young man's energy being turned in an im- proper channel. We cannot believe t hat the view cur cotem voices is tho proper or tho universally accepted one. Commissioner Coombs of the Salva* tiou Army is credited with the state- ment that with two or three years' Canadian experience the average Englishman will lose his "grunt." When he docs he gets along alright, but frequently tho "grunt," or "squeal," or whatever you desire to callit will not be downed, but insists on coming out, no matter how long he is a resident. A short time ago the writer had occasion to rub shoulders with a fairly respectable appearing Englishman of some four or five years Canadian residence â€" the "grunt" was there too. His particular trouble was to find out Vthat we ignoiant Canadians had against our betters â€" the English ! Then, rambllug on with his talk, it was not long till ho was abusing all Canadians â€" men, women and childien â€" wo do every- thing backwards. To build a house we are as likely as not to begin with the roof, and a lotmo<-e iu that strain. From his talk one would gather that when he didn't like his position he ] would move on, and lliat he had been liviii)< a roving life in Ciniada. Probably ho had pvofferod advice as to "how we do it al'ome," and been surprised that his advice was not wanted, forgetting all about tho diil'ercnt conditions prevailing in Canada. The sooner wo wave faro- well to that sort the better, but when the Englishman who will work and can adapt himself to cnviroumeut arrives he will succeed as woll as any Canadian. This is testified to by the luimbcr of Engiithnicn who hold responsible positions in Canada. Tho grouch that arises from tho emigrant is from the one who wants big pay and little work, in nine cases out of ten. â€" B. Died., V Bradbury- On Sundny morning in the town uf Blind River, Jane Elizabeth Rutledge, beloved wife of John Bradbury, WHH called home. Mrs. Bradbury was l)orn in tho year 1865 near the village of Kleshorton, Grey Co , where she lived until hur marriugo, since when her homo has l)oeii mostly on the north shore in THcshhIoii, St. JoHeph IhIo and Blind llivcr. She was one of those women who till tho ]ilHce of not merely wife and mothor as such, but who are tho com- panion of husband and childron, and to whom hobh turn for comradeship and counsel, hence her departure is tho gi'eater loss. Death to her was a happy release coining as it did at the close of .•I tedious illness of more than a year, during which she suffered much, hut is now entered into her rest. Tho funeral was held on Tuesday at 4 p. m. from the Mothodift church of which Mrs. Bradbury was a member. She is survived hy her husband and five children.

So wo thought.

Tho now com- pany, known ai tho Crown Portland Comeiil Co., has ample capital, and its directors are all shrewd business men. Its president looks for splendid results, und promises that Wiartonians will "see something worth while in a year from now." Joseph Hunter, proprietor of the Hotel Royal at ISobcaygeon, shot and kdled his wife on Saturd.iy. He hud been drinking heiivily and had had an attack of "tho blues."

He Hunts for Greener Pastures Mr. Richards, the newly a{>pointed pastor of the Eugenia Methodist church, pleached in that church on Sunday, August first, and announced his text fur the followiDK Sunday. But during the week his thoughts wandered and he decided that there was some other place ill this world of action that he was better Stted to till, and to decido was tu act. He dti>arted this neii>hborhoud, and will probably give up hii inteuiiun of enter- ing I he ministry. Mr. Richards is an Englishnun, with one year's preaching experience. He is clever, well read, and has travelled largely, and is a clover journalist. Rev. Laidlaw will continue to preach on the circuit, and will at the name time attend University at Toronto. He will accomplish this by taking the train every Saturday evening, and returning on Monday morning. By this <\rrai>gement the circuit will have a preacher, ibut as for other ministerial duties, they will necessarily suffer. Several citizeus have spoken seriously of taking up the matter of the lake ques- tion and making a tii'st-class pleasure re- sort iu Orangeville. About 45 years ago the project of making a lake near ihu exhibition grounds was earueslly taken up by a numbtr of progressive citizens and it was iu a fair way of being carried to a successful conclusion, but owing to the opposition of a certain body the schonio was abandoned. Now, however, after all these years it h.is been proven ilut OrauKeville has lost thousands of dollars annually by not having a suitable pleasure tft-ound. In an out of the-way place like Erin, Stanley Park has drawn thousands of visitors r J the village. A passenger transportation man who was in town the other day eaid if OranseviUo hadauy kind of park accoinmodatiou there W'Uld be an oxcu:sioQhere tvary day dur- ing tho Bumiuer, ss it was just tho right distance frjin Toronto and the scenery on the Gorge route around Credit Forks and Cataract would ,bo a great puller. We have no idea how much capital would be required to make the project a reality, but it would not bo very great. ThoC. P. R. would hkely rebuild the spur line to tho site and would unduubl- ly assist iu other ways. NVe trust all our citizens will cake this matter up in a harmonious and business-like manner and w ork hard for the success of the scheme.
