 JUDGE ROSE. 
 
 The " learned" Judge Rose, who draws $6,000 a jear for administennj^ 
 Canadian justice, told the jury that a Gnarantet or J^unniitit \\h\c.h stated 
 Ihat an article that was guaranteed to be ino(/<! to wenr was as good as one that 
 <liiaranteed or VKirrantfd the nrtirle to n-atr. He saw no harm in n\aniifac- 
 iuring and stamping counterfeit or base metal watch-cases as Solid (iold or 
 l^M'fection Coin Silver. The judge is a decided Tory. He it was who ad- 
 vised Mr. Tupper and the Minister of Justice that the end-i of "Canadian 
 justice " would be satisfied if those two thieves, Conolley and MfCroevy, 
 were released before their time, and they were. 
 
 Is it not fortunate for Judge Rose's bread and butter that judges in Canada 
 are appointed by " the boodling political tricksters " at Ottawa, instead of, 
 as in the United States, by the voice of thejieoplc whom they are appointed 
 to judge ?

 The American Watch Case Company of Toronto 
 
 Vs. 
 \V. F. Doll, ok Winnipeg " 
 
 Via Judge Rose, the Good Tor}'. 
 
 f 
 
 JuDctE KosE did the honors at the second trial of the now 
 celebrated suit wherein the so-called American Watch Case Co., 
 of Toronto (no connection with the well-known — the (feniiine — 
 " American Watch Case Co." of the U. S.) brought suit against 
 W. F. Doil, of Winnipeg, claiming $5,000 damages for alleged 
 slander. 
 
 Mr. Doll and over 150 of his fellow jewellers, it appears, have 
 for some years been petitioning the government to reduce the 
 absurd 35 per cent, duty on watch cases and clocks. They 
 pointed out that clocks were not being made in Canada, and had 
 not been for over 12 years ; that clocks were a necessity to the 
 poor man, and the duty, which practically amounted to robbery, 
 should be reduced to at least 10 per cent., and if more revenue 
 must be raised, the Government should put a duty on diamonds, 
 which are absolutely free, and which should certainly not be 
 free, while the farmers' plows, harness, clothmg, etc., are being 
 yo heavily taxed. It was also pointed out that the American 
 Watch Case Co., of Toronto, who claimed to control the out put 
 of Canadian watch cases, " were only prosperous because of the 
 similarity of its name to that of one of the largest and oldesfc 
 watch case companies in the world, the "American Watch Case 
 Co. of the United States,'' and because a large portion of the 
 Canadian watch cases resembled, in ei-erythimj hut quality, those 
 of the U. S. 
 
 The Government were also requested to make it a criminal 
 offence to stamp watch cases, jewelry, etc., with " fictitious " 
 stamps, or stamps that did not denote the exact quality of materials 
 that the cases, etc., were made of. This would have put a stop to 
 the dishonomble practices of those protected manufacturers of 
 
 v^.

 The Rev. John N. Lake, who draws $i,ooo per year 
 as President of the American Watch Case Company 
 of Toronto, swore that he knew it was wicked to run 
 street cars on Sunday, but he 'iid not Inoic whether it 
 was wicked or not to make gold-plated watch-cases 
 and stamp them "Warranted 14k," or to stamp silver- 
 plated cases " Perfection Coin Silver." 
 
 The Rev. Lake's wife is a large stock-holder in the 
 Watch Case Co., as are three other Toronto ministers 
 and their wives. Comment would be superfluous.

 watch cases, rings, etc. But that " joh lot " of hrawlers, the Tory 
 Government at Ottawa, refused the very reasonable request, 
 because of the " financial arguments " taken to Ottawa and given 
 •to the Ministers by those two birds of " ill omen," (to the jewel- 
 ry trade of Canada), Mr, V\'. K. McNaught and M. C. Ellis, of 
 P. W. Ellis & Co., Toronto, the same gentlemen who, niuh'r 
 oath, stated \^qX " Warranted 141i," stamped on watch cases, etc., 
 was only intended to denote the quality of plate or gilt with 
 which the cases, etc., were covered. So stated those two good 
 Tories, the two vultures out of the one egg, W. K. McNaught 
 and M. C. Ellis. 
 
 In 1892, the pamphlet was issued exposing the president and 
 managers of the so-called American Watch Case Co. for turning 
 out flishonest watch cases. (Th'.i was clearly proven in both 
 trials ; in the first the majority of the jury agreed that Mr. Doll 
 was justified in all he had stated as to the dishonest}' of the 
 Company's cases.) With 35 per «ent. protection, it pointed out 
 that this combination of Tories stole their name American W' atch 
 Case Co. and the stamps on their bases from the genuine or 
 reputable United States manufacturers ; and that they manu- 
 facture watch case^ stamped "Mohawk" which imitated in all 
 but quality the United States made " Montauk "; and that they 
 made so-called " Solid Gold Eagle Cases" (ladies' size), whicii 
 imitated in all but qitaliti/ the United States made Eagle cases ; 
 and that they stamped " Perfection Coin Silver " on watch cases 
 that are nearly all " base metal " or really ".only silver plated "; 
 and, that they manufacture, among others too numerous to men- 
 tion, gentlemen's size watch cases stamped " Warranted 14k. 
 U. S. Assay " that are really only " gold plated." 
 
 It was truly stated that between manufacturing such watch 
 cases and making counterfeit money there was absolutely no 
 difference, except that the one is legalized and encoaraged by the 
 " National Policy" and the other is not ; morally they are the 
 same. 
 
)) 
 
 Mr. R. J. Quigley, manager of the Company, and designer of 
 the " snide cases," "hen questioned in the witness box as to why 
 the Company made such goods, replied " because there was a 
 demand for them "; in reply to why they did not make counter- 
 feit money, he said there was no demand for it. This answer is 
 worthy of a Tory cabinet minister, and when Mr. Tupper is 
 making up his jewels (if he ever does) he should not overlook 
 Mr. Quigley or his partner, Mr. W. K. McNaught, who, 
 when asked why the Company had stamped "Warranted 
 14k." on watch cases that were only gold plated, replied 
 thot the Company intended to guarantee only the gold thatv 
 was "on" the cases to be 14k., and that if the watch casea 
 only contained 5c. worth of gold that was 14k. the Company 
 guarantee would be fulfilled. Surely these gentlemen — Mc- 
 Naught, Quigley, and Ellis — are spiritual affinities of one 
 Ananias. 
 
 It was shown that the National Policy was their moral curse, 
 for the watch cases they manufactured under 17^ per cent, pro- 
 tection were not as dishonest as those made under the N. P.., 
 with its 35 per cent, protection ; but under the 11^ per cent, the 
 directors did not, as under the 35 per cent, draw $8,000 a year 
 in salaries and dividends or drive a carriage with a flunkey. 
 
 It was the latter part of 1896, 3 years after the claimed libel 
 was published by W. F. Doll, before the Company succeeded in 
 bringing the case before the judge of their " choice," and it is 
 safe to say that had Mr. Doll been aware of Judge Rose's strong 
 Tory leaning, and of the reported relationship said to exist 
 between Judge Rose's father and the Rev. John N. Lake, Presi- 
 dent of the Company, he — Doll — would have been as anxious 
 that Judge Rose should not hear the case as the Company were 
 that he and no one else should hear it. Subsequent events 
 demonstrated that the Company had calculated well. 
 
 The legal firm of Roaf, Currie & Gunther acted for the com- 
 pany against Doll, and here let me deviate from the point to 
 show what a "funny set" this legal firm is, who pulled the 
 strings so successfully for the cdmpany of bogus watch-case 
 fakirs. 
 
 In July, '93, when the Queen, via the Toronto Police Court, 
 assisted by Mr. Currie, of the " funny set," summoned Mr. W. 
 K. McNaught, of the American Watch Case Co., for fraud, in 
 selling bogus watch-cases, McNaught at once engaged the ser 
 vices of Mr. Roaf (the head and father of the " funny set ") to 
 defend him. Mr. Currie, the " stomach and bowels '' of the 
 " funny set," then went fishing, and left the prosecution of Mr. 
 McNaught in the innocent hands of Mr. Gunther, the tail end of 
 the " funny set," who, although acting for her " Gracious Ma-

 Mr. R. J. Quigley, manager of the manufacturing

 the snide or counterfeit watch-cases because there was 
 a demand for such goods ; but, he said, they did not

 jesty " in consideration of $5.00 for each conviction, failed to 
 convict. Mr. McNaught was of course defended by the head or 
 brains of the ** funny set," assisted by the now city solicitor, Mr. 
 Fullerton, who, with Mr. McNaught and that GoveriitmHt and 
 <;itfj-fed hnfal cad, Col. Deiiison, the magistrate who tried tlu' 
 case, all belong to the same " Tory Chib " and are as thick as 
 thieves. 
 
 For these and other reasons herein stated, we may well say 
 there is nothing like " Canadian or British Justice," as laid down 
 by those two " liVing monuments of loyalty," — Judge Rose and 
 Col. Denison. To worship their idea of justice would be no sin, 
 as there is nothing like it in heaven above, the earth beneath, 
 or in the waters under the earth. 
 
 But to return to the suit. The " combined " forces of the 
 funny set, with the celebrated Mr. Lount, Q.C., were now found 
 arrayed against Mr. Doll, who was " so sure of the justice of his 
 cause," that without legal assistance, he defended himself against 
 that array of "legal lights," who received some $300 per day from 
 the company to prove that "Warranted 14k" did not mean warrant- 
 ed at all, and that " Perfection Coin Silver" was only intended to 
 meant silver-plated, and that " Solid Gold" only meant one part 
 gold and twenty-three parts of brass. 
 
 The plaintiffs had previously applied to Judge Falconbridge 
 for a " special jury of manufacturers," who would be all " Tories" 
 of course, to try the case, but His Lordship justly refused to 
 listen to them, and said that if he were trying the case he would 
 let the regular jury, then in court, act. Jndpe Rose refused to 
 let the reffnlar jury, who were dpain in court, act on the case, but 
 allowed the companif to me ajnrif that had been struck In) them for 
 this case eight months prcvions. Mr. Doll strongly objected to this 
 jury, pointing out that the company had known these men for 
 eight months. It would be in keeping, he said, with the com- 
 pany's directors, the $200,000 capital, and their watch cases, 
 for them to influence the jury. But Mr. Doll's protests fell on 
 
\ 
 
 6 
 
 the unwilling ears of JiulgoKose, and were in vain. The case 
 occupied fr:,m Monday till Saturday afternoon. 
 
 Mr. Doll admitted pidjUsliinn aU the aliened Uheh. He said the 
 atateinentH iccre all true, and he iras prepared to prove them. 
 He went directly to the enemy's camp for his chief witnesses, 
 and put Mr. McNaught, and Mr. Quigley, the company's Sec- 
 Treasurer and Manager, into the box. They gave the most con- 
 tradictory and self-condemning evidence, McNaught swearing 
 that the company's " Eagle cases " were solid gold, while Mr. 
 Quigley swore they were only " brass," gold-plated, and that 
 Mr. McNaught was responsible for the company's cases being 
 " dinhonestly " advertised. Thos. C. Davis, bookkeeper for the 
 Winnipeg Jewelry Co., Prof. Hayes, the expert assayer, Geo. 
 Wellings, manufacturing jeweller, and P. C. Mills, retail jeweller, 
 testified that the Company's watch cases were " short weight," 
 not as represented, and imitated the U. S. Company's cases in 
 all hut (lualitij. The Company's " Mohawk "cases which witness 
 swore imitated the U. S. made "Montauk" in all Imt quality. 
 Prof. Hayes swore he assayed and found less than 5c. worth of 
 gold. Mr. McNaught had sworn these Mohawks were " gold 
 filled," and admitted advertising them as gold-filled in the com- 
 pany's price list for April, 1892. The company's " so-ealled'' 
 Eagle solid gold cases, were shown to be worth only 38c. intrin- 
 sically, and the company's cases stamped "Warranted 14-k." only 
 assayed 6-k. Mr. Mills, the Yonge-street jeweller, sirore they 
 II ere a fraud and disgrace to tlie country. 
 
 Mr. Doll went into the box to testify in his own behalf. After 
 being sworn, Judge Rose stopped him as he started to give 
 evidence, and stated that if he (Doll) gave evidence " now," he 
 would not be allowed to make only a limited address to the jury. 
 Mr. Doll and others in the court understood this to mean that 
 he could, "now being sworn," give such evidence as he wished 
 in his address to the jury, and desiring to meet the apparent 
 wishes of the Judge — " not being then aware of his Honor's 
 weakness," gave no evidence then, but found vvhen it was too 
 late that the Judge had either wilfully or unintentionally de- 
 ceived him. So that the " hack hone,'' so to speak, of Mr. DolVs 
 defenc:', " his own," was not heard, for which the Judge has the 
 thanks of the A. W. C. Company. 
 
 The principal witnesses for the company were the before 
 mentioned M. C. Ellis, of Ellis & Co., wholesale and retail 
 jewellers, the now celebrated " so-called " solid gold ring manu- 
 facturers, out of two parts of solid brass to one part of solid 
 gold, from his own admissions undel* oath, and A. C. Anderson, 
 of Anderson & Co., jewellers, who also sheepishly admitted, 
 " under cross examination," that he too "loaded the uninitiated"

 Mr. M. C. Ellis, of P. W.Ellis & Co., jewelers, &c., 
 Toronto, is the expert manufacturer of " Solid Gold " 
 rings, made out of one part of gold to two parts of 
 brass or base metal. He swore that P. W. Ellis & Co. 
 sold the Watch Case Company's Cases, and found no 
 fault with them ; and that it was quite proper and 
 honest to add twenty-three parts of brass to (me part 
 of (jold, make it into rings and watch-cases, and stamp 
 them " Solid Gold.'' He is another loyal Tory manu- 
 facturer, who shouts from the stump " Canada for the 
 Canadians I " a member of the Toronto Board of Trade 
 and the manufacturers' combine. 
 
 M. C. ELLIS. 
 
 with the same class of " so-called" solid gold rings, watch cases, 
 etc., which were at least two-thirds brass. Those " two beauties," 
 Ellis and x\nderson, readily swore that it was the ('iisto)ii of the 
 trade, etc., to stamp plated watch-cases, rings, etc., "Warranted 
 14k," or that contained only one part of gold to ten parts of 
 brass, as " solid gold." 
 
 Mr. Ellis' testimony, of course, did not surprise those who 
 knew he was a " National Policy fed " manufacturer ; and Mr. 
 Anderson's testimony did not startle those who knew that Mr. 
 McM aught, the father of those snide cases, held a string on the 
 finances of A. C. Anderson & Co.. 
 
 But the plaintiff company did not call Mr. Edmund E. Scheuer, 
 wholesale jeweller, who had in the former trial admitted " he too " 
 had been deceived in the company's so-called gold cases. 
 
 Neither did the company call Prof. Latimer, the expert assayer, 
 who, in the former trial, admitted that the company's so-called 
 solid 14k. gold cases stamped " A. W. C. Co. and Matze Cross," 
 which he assayed, were not 14-k, as stamped. 
 
 When the evidence was all in, Mr. Doll stated to the Judge 
 that he had never conducted a case in court before, much less 
 address a jury. He would ask his Lordship to adjourn the court 
 for an hour in order that he might pull his nerves together and 
 prepare his address, having been examining and cross-examining 
 witnesses for nearly a week ; but even this scant courtesy was 
 denied him, and he proceeded with his address, but was repeat- 
 edly interrupted by the opposing lawyers on technical points, 
 which, though legal, must have been very annoying. 
 
 Mr. Lount, Q.C., who followed for the company, was more 
 fo>-tunate on the technical points, although stopped by Mr. Doll 
 for uttering two startingly false statements. 
 
 Judge Rose (much to the astonishment of those who were 
 ignorant of his Lordship's strong N. P. leaning), charged 
 stronglv against Mr. Doll and his Free Trade and anti-National 
 
■\

 Policy ideas, and told the jury that although Mr. Doll might 
 have proven the plaintiff company guilty of fraud in his four out 
 of five charges, that the jury, " .iccording to the law they had 
 sworn to carry out," must bring m a verdict against Doll, unless 
 he had proven up to the hilt the fifth charge, and that "four out 
 offive '' was not siijficient. 
 
 That piece of Canadian or British justice is on a par with that 
 already referred to, which, to worship, would be no sin. You 
 accuse a man of stealing your hat, coat, vest, pants, and boots. 
 You prove that he stole all but the boots on his own evidence ; 
 and because you did not prove he stole the boots, you must pay 
 him for " defamation of character." So said Judge Eose to the 
 jury ;^ and they brought in a verdict — not for the $5,000 asked 
 " by that combination of bogus-watch-case fakirs," but for $100 
 as directed by the "learned judge," because Doll had not proven 
 them guilty of taking the boots ; and many people marvel at his 
 lordship's " great learning," which he has magnanimously con- 
 descended to exchange for $6,000 per year of the i)eople's ready 
 cash ; perhaps another illustration of "the learned pate ducking 
 to the golden fool." 
 
 The learned Judge was evidently in " love " (" love is blind") 
 with those National Policy abortions— the Mohawks, Eagles, 
 Warranted 14-k, Perfection Coin, and Bogus Guarantees — for he 
 generously gave the Company part of the costs, so that they may 
 continue in the "good work " of manufacturing " counterfeit'' 
 watch-cases, etc. 
 
 The learned Judge, Doll remarked, is like unto the Company's 
 guarantees wherewith they guarantee their so-called filled cases 
 to " he made to near for 20 years. To " be made to wear,'' said 
 Doll, is no (fuarantee that they will wear. " Men were made to he 
 ffood, unbiassed, etc., but that is no guarantee that they are, or 
 will be good, etc. judges were made to be fair, unbiassed, etc., 
 but that is no guarantee that they will be fair, etc. The U. S. 
 Companif " (/uarantee" their cases to wear for 20 pears. Judge 
 Rose told the jury there was no difference between " made tn 
 wear" and "guaranteed to wear," and the Hon. Mr. Tupper has 
 stated that Judge Rose's ability makes him eligible for the vacant 
 seat on the Supreme Court bench. 
 
 Considering the Judge, the $200,000 capital of the Company, 
 the wire-pullers, and legal talent that was pitted against him, 
 and the twelve Tory jnrymen (on the former trial the jury consisted 
 of only 5 Tories with 7 Grits, and 7 of the jury said Mr. Doll was 
 justified in what he published, and rej'used to (five any damar/es, 
 but the 5 Tories wished to salt him, and by " some accident " 
 thejury were all Tories this time). Bearing in mind the above and 
 the fact that Mr. Doll was alone, a stranger and a Free Trader in

 Mr. VV. K. McNaught, who drew $5,000 a year as 
 Sec-Treasurer of the American Watch Case Co. of 
 Toronto, swore that " Warranted 14k." stamped on a 
 watch-case was only intended to denote the quality of 
 gold uii, the case, and if one of these cases so stamped 
 contained but five cents' worth of 14k. gold, the guar- 
 antee would be fulfilled. He admitted advertising 
 " Solid Gold Crowns " and supplying gold-plated 
 crowns, — because, he said, " they were just as good." 
 He is the editor and proprietor of Tlie Trader, and 
 lectuiss on " business morality." He is a member of 
 the Toronto Board of Trade and of the manufacturers' 
 combine, and is a loyal Tory.

 an N.P. Tory city, he can certainly feel elated on his magnificent 
 victory over hypocrisy, political bias, and fraud. 
 
 But Mr. Doll was not satisfied with either the Judge's charge 
 or the jury's verdict, and plainly stated so to Judge Rose. He 
 applied for a new trial, and engaged that eminent lawyer, B. B. 
 Osier, to act for him. This move so frightened the American 
 Watcb Case Co. — a band of honest watch-case fakirs — that they 
 agreed to imy the coKts, on condition that Mr. Doll abandoned his 
 appeal for a new trial. This was done. 
 
 This exposure of counterfeit watch-cases and counterfeit rings 
 manufactured by these " honest Tory " N. P. supporters should 
 show the Minister of Justice the necessity of enacting a law, in 
 accordance with the request of Mr. Doll and his fellow-peti- 
 tioners, making it a crimiiml offence to put fictitious and mis- 
 leading stamps on watch-cases, jewelry, etc.. Judge Rose to the 
 contrary notwithstanding. 
 
 '^he farmers are compelled by law to honestly stamp their pro- 
 ducts, and why not compel the manufacturers, who are heavily 
 protected, to be honest ? If a farmer sells adulterated milk, he 
 pays a fine or goes to gaol. But if a protected manufacturer 
 turns out bogus watch-cases or snide rings, or sells and stamps 
 as solid gold stuff that is more than* two-thirds brass, you dare 
 not whisper it in public or you must pay a fine ; so says Judge 
 Rose, whom we pay royally for administering justice. 
 
 The following letter, received from Mr. Hammond, the well- 
 known hatter of Toronto and Winnipeg, is a sample of dozens 
 that Mr. Doll had in his possession during the trial, and which 
 lie wished to read to the jury, but Judge Rose ruled they were 
 not admissible as evidence.

 (This is one of the many snide cases manrfactured by the American Watch 
 Case Co. of Toronto, under a protection of 35 per cent.) 
 
 This pamphlet is mailed to you by "The W. F. Doll Co.," 
 who are ]n'eparea to substantiate the statements contained 
 therein. They have an authorised capital of $50,000, with 
 officetj in the Temple Building, Montreal, and the Canada Per- 
 manent Blofk, Winnipeg. They purchased from W. F. Doll and 
 have on exhibition the bogus watch-cases and snide rings manu- 
 factured by the so-called American Watch Case Company, and 
 P. W. Ellis it Co., Toronto. They also have copies ot the 
 evidence given in the recent trials, which they will be pleased to 
 show the Minister <f Justice or the general public. 
 
 The W. F. Doll Co. also have on exhibition a line of honest 
 solid gold and solid silver Watch-cases, which are manufactured 
 by them. The Doll Gold and Silver Watch-cases are not stuffed 
 witli brass centres, hinge-pins, heavy iron springs or brass crowns, 
 coated with gold or silver. They are all stamped with the trade 
 mark, " The Doll," and are manufactured in 10, 14, and 18-k. 
 gold or coin silver. The quality of which they are made is stamped 
 on each case, and they are "the jirst " and "onlii realhi honest" 
 gold or silver watch-casos ever made in Canada. 
 
 " The Doll " Watch Cases 
 
 Can be had from any honest jeweler in Canada, or from 
 
 THE W. F. DOLL CO.,

 Mint, at a small profit for cash, by all first-clasH jewellers.

 The following is another example of what the N.P. has done 
 for Canada : 
 
 In 1895, the farmers of Canada imported $291,219 worth of 
 farming implements, on which ihey paid $58,243.80 duty or tax 
 — the years previous to '94 the duty on implements was one- 
 third greater. 
 
 In the same year 1895, the rich manufacturers and capitalists 
 imported $239,057 worth of Diamonds on which they ivcre not 
 even asked to pay a single dollar (in the U. S. they pay 25 percent.), 
 
 Diamonds in Canada, thanks to the rich Tory manufacturers, 
 are on the " free list." 
 
 Had diamonds been taxed the same as watch cases or clocks, 
 they would have paid in '93 $88,670.55 in duty. So that if 
 farming implements had been on the free list instead of diamonds, 
 the government would have been $25,442.75 richer, and the 
 farmers would have saved from 20 to 30 per cent, on every im- 
 plement purchased — or hundreds of thousands of dollars. 
 
 But the National Policy considers only the manufacturer, and 
 practically says. To hell with the farmers ; if they don't like the 
 ** old policy " let them go to the United States ; and in conse- 
 quence there are to-day more Canadian farmers in Dakota and 
 Minnesota than in the whole of Manitoba and the N. W. Terri- 
 tories. Land in Dakota and Minnesota, within 15 years, has 
 increased from $1 to $20 and $30 per acre — while lands have so 
 depreciated in Manitoba that to-day hundreds of thousands of 
 acres of choice farm lands can be had for the taxes or from 10c. 
 to $1 per acre. A recent sale of 100,000 acres of choice Manitoba 
 farm lands brought 30c. per acre, " thanks to the N. P." 
 
 P.S. — The June, '96, Trudvr^ which is published and edited by Mr. W. K' 
 McNaughl— he of the snide A. W. C. Co., Toronto — in an editorial on the 
 benefits of the N. P. to Canada, has the " cheek," begotten of the National 
 Policy, to trot out and publish as a F.\CT, that mildewed, moss-covered and 
 often-buried LIE, that Canadian made watch-cases are sold as low in Canada 
 as the U.S. made cases are sold in the United States. Space will only allow 
 us to name one style of watch case — we could name a dozen— to show what 
 a cheerful liar the Editor of the Trmkr is. The U.S. MoNTAUK Gold-filled 
 O.F.S.W. case costs the wholesaler in the U.S. just $1.20 mow than the 
 Canadian made O.F.S.W. so-called Cold-rilled Mohawk costs the Canadian 
 wholesaler. They look as near alike as two peas, and the Canadian case 
 Inokit the best value, but the U.S. made case contains just THlkTV-SKVKN 
 TiMKs -or 3,700 per cent. — MOKK COLD than the Canadian case, and will 
 wear over fifteen years longer. 
 
 The U.S. case is honest ; the Canadian, to our shame, but to the glory of 
 the N.P., is a counterfeit manufactured to rob the innocent farmer ; likewise 
 the other counterfeits— the Canadian Eagle, Lion, John Hull, Perfection 
 Coin, N.P. Coin, Victoria, &c,, »S:c., all of which call that Prince of Mounte- 
 banks, the Editor of the I'nairr and Sec.-Treas. of the A.W.C. Co., Toronto, 
 Either. 
 
 Let the man found hurrahing for the old nolicy be locked up as a drivel- 
 ling idiot, or taken out and shot as a " subsidized scoundrel."
