THE GUARDIAN’S MISTAKE.

Ir is not pleasant to be charged with falsehool, Yet we are thanktul to the Guardian for its charge of this morning It imposes upon us the pleasing duty of dlemonstrating -the substantial trath of Tux Examtner’s statement. The state ment, as quoted by the Guardian, is as follows:

“ That farmers products are selling at the price they really arc is due to the national policy. . All the articles, too, the farmer requires to buy for ordin- ary use are free from duty under the pres: nt system.”

The first statement we have already proved by reference to the prices now being paid in the United States for farm products, and if further proof be needed, perhaps the following will be accepted : (Guardian, May 28.) (st. John Globe,)

May 26. PRICES IN ST. JOHN Oats per bushel.

ide ueeseeok ane Roca su OOO Pork ‘per bbl....$6.95 Pork......813.75 to

idess b cence ee

Is it not evident, even to the Guardian, that but for the protective daties imposed upon United States produce, United States Oits and pork, and other articles which might be quoted, would com: streaming into our markets as under the jug-han dled system of L877-78? Surely we need not siy anything more upon that point.

As to the second point we have this to say: The farmer does not require to buy the bulk ef his food. He raises it himself, —and pays no duty. He has, however, to buy tea upon which a revenue tar‘fl duty of G cents per pouni was charged, and this came out of the farmer’s pocket. Tea is, under the National Policy, free of daty, and is now purchased by oar far- mers at about half the price it cost in 1873. He also has to buy sugar and mo!- asses, which were heavily taxed under the revenue tariff; he now pays a very light duty, and sugar has gone down in price about a half, because we have sugar factor- ies of ourowi. Ti: farmer has nor to pay a heavy duty on liquor and tobacco, but these things are luxuries. H- does not pay d'ty upon any necessary a:ticle of food. Then, as to dress. Raw cut on is now admitted into Canada free of duty, manufactured here in twenty-two cotton mils, employing 8,500 coasumers, and sold by retuil at prices ranging, for greys, from 34 cents to 8 cents. In the ante-N. P days, cottons of lower quality, the raw materia) for which was fir-t sent from the Southern States to England and the manufactured product of which was brought back across the Atlantic, were sold by retail at from 5 to 12 cents per yard. We get the goods so mucin choaper largely because they are manufactured here and we pay no duty upon them. A similar comparison might be deawa in respect to many articles for light clothing. For woolen goods we have now no less than 377 woollen mills in con. petition one with the other, our farmers furai-h most 0’ the wool which is practically antaxed, and our farmers obtain their woollen clothing, tweeds, etc., fully a balf cheaper than under the revenue tariff. Suits cf good strong clothing can now be purchased at from $5 wo $12, which in the olden time would cost double the money. The heavy duties are upon such cloths aa are used by the wealthy citizen; the farmer goes free

all such articles are greatly reduced, as

is orn ; will be seen by the following cumparison :

In the smaller implements, tools, &c., used by farmers there is also a large de- crease in price, 2s follows :—

And every other article or implement not enumerated that the farmers use has cen decreased in price from 25 to 50 per cent. for the reason that a large increase of factories and additional competition have operated to reduce prices ; and prac- tically no duty is paid by the farmer in reapect to them. A leading Libera] dry goods firm declares that “never in the history of P. E. Is'and were goods sold s0 ceap as this season,” and what is true of dry goods is true of other articles; the fact being, a3 we have here de monstrated, that “all tbe articles the farmers require to buy for ordinary use are free from duty under the present syetem.”

And there are hundreds of men who have lieard them so declare them- selves.”

e+ere CAMPAIGY NOTE,

The Libera! p: per. ave al! chronic- ling the pre-electiou triumphs ct Dalton McCarthy.

—Tarie anl Mr. M:Carthy—Ve are united inthe common hatred of the Con- servatives,

—The political partnership of Laurier and McCarthy promises great things for Canada; but the performance of such a combination may well be doubted.

— Dr. Roddick : The policy of the Lib- eral-Conservative partv ha-, in the past, commended itself to the majority of tbe

Canadian people. I believe it will con- tinue to so commend itself. It has bee a policy of action caleulated to meet the needs of a country with great natural re- sources to develop.

—“There is no one thing of which I

am so much ashamed as being Daitou Me- Carihy’s political grandfather. ; If I had thought the time would come that be would devote his energies to rousing hostilities of race and religion, I would have suffered anything rather than have bad a hand or lot in bringing him into political Itfe.”— Sir Charles Tupper.

—The prospects of adry season should lead farmers to sow plenty of such crops as vetches, p as and corn. These thrive in hot, dry weather, and give abundance of food for cattle and other stock at a time when pastures are dry and bare. Dairy farmers especially should sow plenty of those valuable fodder plants now, and reap their rewards, later on, in iacr-ased flow of milk and general thriv- log condition of their flocks and herds.

—The indications in the west are cer- tainly encouraging te the Government, to our energetic Cabinet Minister, and topMr. Hackett. When O’Leary and Alberton, the strongholds of Liberaiism, give such enthusiastic receptions to Mr. Ferguson, what may we not expect from Conservative centres. The sentiments contained in the address of President Weeks at Alberton, which will be found in another column, are truly Canadian and patriotic, and prove that no confusion ef public issues is to be allowed to contain West Prince in the Liberal ranks. Good for Alberton.

AA eI lt LAKE VERD MEETING,

The meeting was organized by appoint- ing Charles Kelly, Esq., to the chair.

Mr. Welsn was the first speaker. After statirg the ucual preliminary remarks, namely, that he was bora in Lot 49, and was “74 years old yesterday,” added as a fresh bit of news that he was a humble follower of Mr. Laurier, who has under taken to settle the School Question in 14 days, and that he (Lauricr) would do jus- tice to the mmority.

Mr. Martin was in very gooi mood, and delivered, perhaps, the best speech of the campaign. He went fally into the trade question, and showed tue benefit of main- taining the National Policy. In answer to Mr. Weleh’s promise that he would, if elected, abolish subsidies to Steamship lines to Australia and New Zealand, Mr. Martin said that psrt of the Grit policy showed Clearly that their object was to ally themselves with the United States, and confine their trade relations wholly,

and throw our markets open, to that coun try.

Mr. Hector McDonald spoke of the railway alone, and exhibited a chart pur- porting to be the proposed routes, but which merely showed that obstruction to the work wasthe sole business of Mr. Welsh and his numerous Jocal government camp followers.

Mr. McCourt, on being called upon, reviewed the principal questions b+fore the people, and made a terrible exposure of Mr. McDonald’s chart, which represent- edthe Elmira branch as rupning from New Zealand Station to East Point Reef. He asked Mr. McDonald to point out El-

located it on:he south coast. Mr. Mc- Court warned the electors that the fight of the Local Government and its officials was against the branches in the hope of getting the money to squander and meet loans.

Mr. F. Peters told a fishing story, but many Of the audience became impatient before the puint of the juke was brought out.

Mr. A. McLean shosed up the hostility of the Grit party to all progressive meas-

Professor Rob- ertson said that it was his intention to sel! the cheese from the 12 small factories he managed for cash on the Island from time to time as they were ready to ship. The butter business for the winter had been fairly satisfactory. The average price for butter to the end of April was 19.84 cents per Ib. Including the quantity estimated to be made during the remainder of May the value of the winter butter will be over $18,700 and in cluding the batter made at the two Cream- eries last summer, the value of the? butter made in the year will be $31,998.00. The value of the cheese in round figures was $146,400.00, making « total of ov: r $178,000 for the year.

Sr. Lovis, Mo., May 28.

St. Lonis was struck by a cyclone of frightful fury at a late hour yesterday.

Hundreds of peop'e were killed, and the peo} ;

property loss is beyond estimation. At

5.20 in the evening a cloud-burst, which

coverel the city since noon, broke into a furions storm. Within ten minutes

the wind had reached a velocity of 80 miles an hour, sweeping with it dense

waves of rain. The screeching of the

wind through the electric wires, the crash

of debris in every direction, flashes trom the tangled wires and crashing timbers

made the scene indescribable.

The lowest estimate of the fatalities in East St. Louis and this city is placed at

300. The steamer D. H. Pike, with 80

passengers “on board, bound for Peoria,

was blown bottom side up in the middle of the river and a number of persons kill-

ed. “The steamer Delappin, with a crew of six, and twenty lady passengers on board, wastblown against the bridge pier and broken in. Two ladies and two of the
