WEBSTER" Sewing Machine.

HIS justly celebrated Machine, which made such a magni

has, during the past four years, earned a reputation unparalleled in the history of Sewing Machines, and although it has met with the keenest competition from all the best American and English Companies, it stands at the present day, by the universal verdict of the people of Great Britain, Belgium, South America and the West Indies, THE BEST FAMILY SEWING MACHINE YET INTRODUCED. In Canada its superior qualities have rendered its name a household word, in consequence of its adaptability to every description of work required in a family, whilst its simplicity in all its workings has rendered it acceptable to the wants of all, young or old, the feeble and the strong.

In times past, as at the present, in all countries and ages, there has always been and ever will be a certain amount of prejudice in favor of some popular name, which, by the expenditure of immense sums of money, is brought before the masses, and no matter of how little merit, or how inferior the article, it is purchased freely, on its reputation of being extensively advertised, but this only continues until the people are brought in close contact with the genuine article, which in itself combines the qualifications and true tests of merit.

The manufacturers of "The Webster" are aware that they have to contend with these prejudices in Canada, and that quantities of American Machines are continually being sold in our Dominion at much higher prices, and very much inferior in every respect to "The Webster," because those American Machines are being brought before the public daily by every means purchasable by extensive advertising, the great point on which the American Manufacturer understands and relies upon for his sales, and the hold he has on our people. But the success met with in all climes where "The Webster" has yet been introduced, the immense and keen tests it has undergone by the most practical mechanical experts, and the many prizes and diplomas it has taken wherever it came in contact with these American Machines in foreign lands, has determined the manufacturers to bring its merits before the Canadian people more prominently, and thus save them much money and much annoyance, and at the same time give them an opportunity of nationally supporting Canada industry, Canada talent and ability, and Canada capital, and in return they propose to give them a Sewing Machine warranted for years.

A Sewing Machine that will do every kind of work.

A Sewing Machine better made than any American Machine.

A Sewing Machine easier and lighter to run than any American Machine.
A Sewing Machine more simple and perfect than any American Machine.

A Sewing Machine that will do more work than any American Machine.

A Sewing Machine that will do better work than any American Machine, and this Machine, "The Webster," they will sell for a much less price than any American Machine offered in Canada, and they feel that the superior merits of the machine itself will be their best advertisement in every district and neighborhood where one is purchased, and can with pride refer to the issues of the past four years' sales in the Dominion of Canada.

The Canada Sewing Machine Company of Hamilton, Ontario, being most desirous that every purchaser of "The Webster" shall be thoroughly and properly instructed in the use of it, have issued the strictest orders to that effect to their agents, and the public will confer a favor on the Company by notifying them of any single case of an agent neglecting to comply with their imperative instructions.

The Company will promptly answer all communications addressed to them, and will inform any intending purchaser of the nearest authorized agent in any county or district, who will gladly call upon them and give every facility and instruction in all the workings of this celebrated machine.

The Company beg of every one to make the most thorough and searching investigation for themselves as to the merits of "The Webster," and its superior workmanship and finish, and satisfy themselves of the genuineness of every word they may say in its favor; ask anyone who has this machine in their dwelling if they would be without it; ask any one who has used it if they would trade for the best American machine made. If you are satisfied after these enquiries are made, then get "The Webster." The Company manufacturing it are in your midst; their factory is in Canada, their head office in Canada, and from them you can get every part of the machine at any time, and it is to the Company's interests to see that every machine gives satisfaction. This they claim as the ground work of their great success.

We fear, however, that to many of emigration going on from the older Proour countrymen this date will only present vinces to the United States; an emigration itself as the day on which a nearly worthless not only of those who have recently arrived and very troublesome Province was acquired from Europe, but of native born Canadians, at a monstrous and ridiculous price.

The great question regarding the future of Canada we conceive to be this: Has she the capabilities of becoming a powerful nation, or must she make up her mind to be ultimately swallowed up by the United States? There is good reason to fear that if the Provinces which now compose the Dominion had remained separate, the latter would have been their fate, and that it was Confederation alone which gave Canada a

The only way to cure this evil is for Canada to find employment for her sons in her own territory, by increasing her commerce and her manufactures. We are told that a Protectionist policy would have such an effect; this we think doubtful-anyhow, it would be of no use for manufacturers to have protection unless they had customers, and customers, moreover, who would be large consumers.

If our great North-West territory and British Columbia were settled up, and brought by means of the Pacific Railroad into close communication with the rest of the Dominion, manufacturers in Ontario
