Mr. Ross and his political colleagues profess to be free traders. They are I for removing every tariff restriction between Canada and other countries. They are for smashing the National Policy root and branch. They call it a curse and a bane to the country. Why? Because it prevents people, as they say, from buying what they want in the cheapest. market. Yet in the` , matter of these school books, Mr. Ross is the veriest protectionist of all. He . will not give free trade in them among the people of his own Province. He hret passes a law that the children of 5 school agemust go toschool or their 0 parents shall be ned in the police court. Then he passes ,_a law that only suchbooks as he gets` some favored per- son to prepare "shall be used bythe pupils. Then he arranges that these books shall be printed by only these persons whom he may designate. Then he xes the price of the books at double ' what any other publisher could, and ' would be willing to, print them for at a reasonable prot. The result is. that the Government rakes in $010,000.00 a year in way of" premium elrom these favored printers as its share of the ,. extra prots for which the parents are `taxed. and the printers aftsrpaying over this sum `for the, favors enjoyed, are growing "enormously out of what 1` . l9_*.'Li.',"1.-_i 0 AMERICANS GOBBLE `om: TIMBER.

Would such pro- ceedings be: tolerated in~ commercial af- fairs? Say that a railway company is endeavcring to effect a loan on a second issue of bonds. Financial houses to whom the bonds are offered for sale ask for a statement of the company's nancial position. It is furnished; , all the assets are included, but the lia- . bility on the first issue of bonds is d omitted from the statement of debts. Asked the reason, the child-like and p bland reply is given, " Oh, those bonds are not presently payable, they will not be due for a dozen years, and are therefore not really liabilities now. Take another example. Here is a mer- chant seeking a new or extended line" of credit from a wholesale house. He is asked for an exhibit of his assets and liabilities, which is produced. Ap- parently he is in a ourishing condi tion, as he shows a large surplus of as- sets over liabilities. The wholesale man desiring to verify the gures sends an accountant to investigate. He re- ` ports that the man is actually insolvent when all his liabilities are placed against his assets.

Soon the North Shore will he one mess of akid- 4 ways loaded with logs ready to be raited ` into a toreign land at the opening ol navigation. American lumbermen are not only, taking all the pine timber from their . own` limits but they are also purchasing the out intended for Ontario saw mills next summer, paying 88 per thousand feet for all they can get. The effect of this invasion of the rights of `Ontario workingmen will be to close nearly all the mills on the North Shore next sum- L UIJU lnqnuauu V: V..- _V -, _, mar, thus throwing ont of employment hundreds of `laborers who depend on a. full season in the saw mills. ,_J lull.

These logs thus purchased are not taken from Americans own ' limits and therefore should be subject at once to the log ex port duty. If Hardy & Co. wish to discountenance this high handed pro- ceeding and not give another proof of the existence of their pro-Michigan timber policy, they must speak at once. Public oice and public trust is not the principle upon which Hardy has conducted the Government of Ontario. The calculation of shrewd politicians is that the Conservatives will have fty-ve seats in the next legislature.- Toronto News. EDITORIAL NOTES- Grit rule in Ontario began Dec. 20, , l871,Aand will end March lat, 1898. Ever since the date of the elections was announced we have had stormy weather in this section.-Beeton World. A bad beginning will have a good ending, Brot-her Boyle. Elections in Ontario have been held on the following dates :-Matfch 14th, 1871 ; January 11th, 1875; June 5th, 187 9 ; February 27th, 1883 ; Decem- ber 28th, 1886; June 11th, 1890; June 26th, 1894. GOV ERNMENTS FINANCIAL FICTION.` Hardy 8; Co. have become so much at home by reckoning Ontario as their own, that they actually expected they would all be returned by acclamation_ The electors thought otherwise, how- ever, and it is very probable that on March let acclamation expectations will be changed to condemnation rea- lizations. In his annual report, Dr. Beaton of Orillia Asylum, says there is press- ing need of more teachers, not at- tendants, and more liberal equipment generally. At the same time it is to be noted that the cost of main- tainance has considerably increased the past year. It is about time the Tories had a chance to try their hand.- Packet. V Twenty-six years in power has re- sulted in an accumulation of abuses that calls loudly for a remedy, and if they are continnedthe responsibility rests on the voter, who loves party bet- ter than his country s good. Let no man forget how Canadian interests-are sacriced to the prot of an alien power, which has for years done all it was able to check. our progress.-Sim- coe Canadian. Had the Ontario Government adopt ed the timber policv of Conservatives in 1890, or even l893,instead of 1897, this province would have been thou-0 sands of dollars better off, and the Michigan lumbermen would not be taking out in the winter of 1897-8 from 200,000,000 feet_ to' 400,000,000 feet `of logs extra-thanks to the as- sistance the Ontario Government has given them by a notice to prepare for any eventuality. The Ruling of Child Life. When we call in the curfew bell and the policemen to rule child life we are making a confession of failure and the failure will become all the more bitter and complete if we look too much to Egypt and place too great reliance upon external restraints. The bit and bridle can never take the place of the guidance of the loving eve. The Sun- day school teacher, with his hour per week, can do little without the co- operation of `parents. The public school teacher can, with diiculty, maintain dicipline if he has not behind him the moral support of fathers and mothers. Parents must` be kings and priests in the homeit the young people are to gain an intelligent recognition `of authority and a real reverence for God.

The public accounts of the province for 1896 do not contain a statement of its assets and liabilities. In a book published by the Dominion Govern- ment, called the Statistical Year Book of Canada, for 1896, is stated plainly and honestly, and in a business way in headed columns, the assets and total debt of all the provinces but On- tario. Every province but ours owns up its condition. Ontario shows for 1896, under the heading " Railway li- abilities payable in the future, extend- ing over 30 years," $1,996,593, and in another column, under the heading Surplus of assets over liabilities pre- sently payable, $4,782,580. These are the only columns. The debt repre- sented by the annuties is not even- men- tioned. ` R T. BANTING, Clerk County of Simcoe, will . be at his ofce, at the Court House. Barrie. every Saturdav.
