It may suit the drones to echo the shout | "Great is Diana of thy Ephesians!" ard pin their faith to an oligarchy under the shadow of whose wing they can continue to bleed tho toil- ing ones; but the producers have more important work to do it is their duty and interests to go for measures, and irrespective of men, give their sapport to no party except on the most unequivocal evidence that an entire new leaf is to be turfied over in the government of our country. That legislation in the future shall not be the expensive toy it has been in the past and that the interests of the great body ot the people shall no longer be ignored and made to give place to the whims of the clique who make their own interests para. mount to the prosperity of the coun try while they carg nothing for the welfare of the great body of the peo- ple. Let the aim of the electors be to elect such men only as are trust- worthy, pledged to rule in the in terests of the many, to cut down the last dollar of unnecessary . ex- pense, drive the drones from about them and withdraw all subsidies. -- Let only those be returned who are able and willing to perform their duties and let them after their elec tion select their own leader, with tho understanding, however, that those who have already had the posi- tion and have failed either from want of capacity or want of will shall be ineligible for election as premier forall timeto come. The county has had sufficient experience of the costly burlesque of oligarichical rule to satisfy it for a century to come. MacKenzie & Co. have proved ex- pensive toys. ' PERRY, AUG. 1, 1878. Oligarchists. there be one thing more detes-- "table than another in polities iv is rerlasting outcroppings of oli- garieal principles which prevades all shades of politics; nineteen out of every twenty, perhaps ninety- ~ minoout of every hundred of our potiticans regard good government as of minor importance compared to the placing in power of a certain ring of politicians. A regular thor. ough paced clear Grit cares nothing about economy, sound policy, good government and all that if only Alexander Mackenzie be retained in the Premier's chair. They all know and scarcely a man, and we had al- most said woman, of whatever shade of politics but knows that there are hundreds, aye thousands of men in the Grit ranks infinitely superior to Alexander Mackenzie in every faculty necessary for success ful legislation. Few oxcell him in cunning but in genuine, legislative ability, probity, honor, economy and political honesty there are multitudes in the Grit ranks head and shoulders above Mr. MacKenzie. _ He has been tried for five years and bas proved himself one of the most snccessful failures as a leader of the goverument which ever occupiod that responsible positioa ; nothing but confusion and disaster has fol- lowed in the wake of his rule.-- Governmental waste and oxtrava- gance have run wild; the hangers on the government have been vastly increased in numbers and their spending money nearly doutled.-- The screws on the toiling ones' in the shape of largely increased taxes, are being applied with greater vigor while their means of paying taxes are greatly diminished. Our manufactures, commerce and mer- cantile. interests are disorganized, crippled and rendered unprofitable ; our farmers are forced to market their products at a disadvantage; our mecharics, artizans and workmen in general are but partially employed, work is difficult to obtain, no less difficult to retain and little more 'than half paid. Ask every man in the country, especially the toiling ones, if times are as good with More Waste and Luxury. On the 25th inst., Mr. Mackenzie in his capacity of Minister of Public Works undertook his annual in- spection of the improvements going on on the St. Lawrence; and in order to secure a little political capital and give eclat to the occasion, the humble (?) premier summored them as they wore five years ago? and the uniform answer will be, No! But in the face of all this there are those even now who would be will ing that the Muckenzio & Co. oli- around him some ninety of a staff including most favorable for inspecting Gov- the Montreal Harbor Commissioners. Tho party left the wharf at 8 p, m., darkness being ernment "jobs," Unfortunately, "a chiel was there taking notes"'--a Montreal Witness Reporter was on bourd. Scarcely had the craft left the barbor when the welcome an- nouncement was made that "Drinks garchy should have a new lease of power. This desire for a continu- ation of the disastrous rule is by no "means spontaneous with the tax- payers but the subsidized drones ~ as well in the government as out of . were Free." it have all to lose by. the breaking Hoar the reporter on what fol- up of the Mackenzie regime and the lowed, : efforts of these induce the desire -- If the Mackenzie oligarchy fall then the relations, friends, connections, wire pullers, and parasités in gen- eral would a'l lose hold of the flesh pots, so that these to a man are in- torested and raving advocates of the Mackenzie rule. These hangers on, sponges on the industry of the country, are not counted by the hundred but by the thousand so numerous are they in fact, that on an averago every couple of the toil- ing ones have to carry a government subsidized tool on their back, feed him like a lord and cloth him like a prince. Such being the fact it is not at all wonderful that desperate efforts should be made by those revenue sappers to maintain the Mackenzie avign. The advo. cates of the present rule are so un- scrupulous, earnest and loud-mouth- ed that very many of those who are not partakers of the guilty rewards, and who would not willingly lend their influence to retain in power an mpetent or unworthy govern. t are deceived by the mis-re- ssentativns of the paid 'advocates, e that the government is not bad after all, and however bad it 'may be thoy are told, if turned out be replaced by a worse. on the Tory sideof the "The bar-room was consequently crowded, Then supper followed, after which the guests began to disport themselves as best they might, some playing chess, some playing cards, some in their berths, some reading, many talking, and a large, boisterous and noiky company in drinking and singing patriotic aud other songs, which was kept up till all hours in the morning, and led to the belief that some representative business men and politic; aro also ive drinkers." Thus passed away the night and the following morning and by one artifice and another tho next day swept on till dinner time when an: othor guzzle followed. After dinner all went below for the fuddle. A Mr. Cramp--though the supplies appeared in no way cramped--was called to the chair and healths were drank in bumpers. The chairman stroked Mr. Mackenzie's back by proposing his health just after that of the Queen, and the complacent oligarchist sat and smiled from ear to ear and if not thinking of the famous "water stretches' must have been thinking of the stretches of some- thing more potent. It was publicly discussed on the streets of Montreal that those on board could not have been "primed" with liquor with the object of seeing more clearly the im- provements now being carried on for it is generally asserted that several drank so.much the first night that next forenoon they could not Pp bluster. The deed is done and cant be recalled. Reapers, cradles, scythes and we we bad almost said mowers may all be seen at work on the same field of grain and all of them puz- zled to know how to get at it and only dashing into it in despair.-- Binding in no case is an easy matter butin many fields 1t is next to im- possible. A fow days more of such slushy, rainy weather will leave a large portion of the wheat crop not worth hauling to the barn. 2 Combination. Combination is now the order of the day, the principle is adopted by every inlerest professional aad otherwise; all acknowledge its utility, appreciate its value and admit its power; but while each separate body adopts it for their own purposes each deprocates the adoption of it by others. The Clergy adopt it in its fullest extent, medical men have one of the strongest com- binations to protect their own inter- ests fix as fur as possible, their rate and to prevent the uninitiated from practising the healing art or feeding on their pastures. Employers com- bine to guard their own interests, secure their profits and be in a position to crush the workmen in the event of a struggle. Workmen too combine with a view to self defence and if possible secure such a reward for their lubor as will enable them and their families to procure and en- joy those necessary comforts of life, which a kind providence has pro- vided for all, and on which no class in the community has a better claim than the sons of toil. But the com binations of tho toilers are regarded with much suspicion by the other ranks of combinationists, and no meunns are left untried to bring the workmen's combination into disre- pute; all sorts of distasteful names are attached to them and they are héld up to public scorn' labeled "Trades Unions," "Communistic Clubs," &e., &e., and other means no less cunning and disreputable are made use of to crush them out so that labor may continue to be the scape goat to gold. But the idea is a mis take, no interests in the country should be guarded and fostered with equal care to those of the workers.-- A nation will be prosperous, enlight ened and happy in direct propor- tion as the workmen are contented, enlightened and remunerated, their families comfortable and their child ren educated. In such case the in- ternal peace of the country is safe, her protection from invasion secur. ed and the mutual interests of labor and gold going band in hand, it is the interest as well as the duty of all to protect such homes and such a country. Over Zealous. We do not believe that Mr. Wheler wishes even his most zeal- ous and unscrupulous friends to lie for him, and for any creature to state that our assertion that Mr. Wheler opposed Mr. Paxton "is simply untrue," is perpetrating an abominable falsehood, and one which the creature knew to be false as per- dition when he uttored it. If Mr. Wheler will but study his own in- terests he will silence and dismiss from the ranks of his supporters, parties who will seek to befriend him Ly the utterance of gratuitous false- hoods which can only tend to make bim appear ridiculous and injure his prospects. ---- Safely Landed at Last. Our many friends who took part in the Mimico Grove excursion last week, on board the "Empress of India" had a somewhat tedious trip. Some twelve hundred excursiontsts of the right stamp took part in the day's enjoyment and they did enjoy themselves to a demonstration up till the time of leaving Toronto on the return trip. It was now 6:40 p m., and the rain pouring in tor- rents but all took it in good part; but the Empress becoming a. little too inquisitive began to poke her nose into other people's affairs she poked her nose into the island and there stuck fast, This riled the Mackenzie's "Magnificent Water Stretches" appeared to have no charm for them. While they promis- ed their strong arm of protection to their lady friends, they evidently prepared to slip away when tho crash, should come and seek their own safely; Buf the srash did not come anid those'preservers got back upon their hooks and no one know who placed them there. At 3 a.m, the steamer got off and made for Whitby harbor, but again got stuck till 6:30 a. m., when she got off and arrived at Whitby baving been twolve solid hours on the water in coming from Toronto to Whitby. -- This wasa little too much of a good anything and of course no comfort able accommodation for so many for 50 long a time.
