If we suppose the tariff reform move- ment in England to have dated from Hume's report in 1840, though it really began further book, it took over twenty yarsfor English statesmen to work out free trade by timely and moderate reduc- tions. ..They had resources to fall back upon that are not found in Canada. Thus when he made large reductions in 184:3, Peel resorted to the income tax in order to establish an equilibrium between rev- enue and expenditure. We cannot con- June with an income tax or any other form of direct thxution, nor, owing to our contigulty to the United States, can We tax tea or spirits as high as we might like; in other words, the circumstances of the country render it extremely dilli- cult to reduce the tnrii! as rapidly as most Liberals would desire. But the Government has made a beginning, and, as it is the rst step that counts, it will not be hard for it to persevere in the good work. Free trade is impracticable in Canada but in a few years we are ttleralily certain to get down to a tariff for revenue only, and this without throw- lug business into confusion or being too cruel with the protected lnfants." llrlclnard Will Remain. The Tory papers have been circulating a report that Sir Richard Cartwright is going to England asigh Commissioner, that he is disgusted," etc. The report is not true. Sir Richard is not disgusted nm is he going to England--at least not Just now. If he did not approve of the tari reductions, if he regarded them as in any sense a betrayal of Liberal pro- mises, he wolild have been out of the Cabinet long before this, for. as everyone knows, if there is any man in the coun- try who has the courage or his convic- tions beyond the rest of us he is that man. He is convinced, however, that the Government could not have gone further with safety at this particular time. In a couple of years, when things have settled down and the Government - is able to make a further reduction, he may go to England. .That is probable but not. of course. certain. The Liberal rank and file in the House will not let him go if they can help it for he is a tower of strength to them both in and out of the House, but it is well to remember that Sir Richard is getting on in years, and, while as vigorous intellectually as ever, is not enjoying the best of health. He is suffering much from rheumatism. He might be cured if he could remain for a few months at Caledonia or Avon Springs, but so long as he is a Minister that is out of the question. In England where he would have less to do there would be a better chance. The rumor re- ferred to created uneasiness throughout Ontario, notably among the farmers, who look up to him as their friend and cham- pion; so much so that Liberals in the House thought of going in a bodyto him and asking him to reconsider his inten- tha. lib ooleagues. who are most anx- ious that he should remain, who indeed regard his presence in the Cabinet as enttal to its stability and usefulness were eqn'a_l_ly put out till they learned that he had no idea of going to England .n..-L._ -s--. s_ __ :1-ills-niches`! to lleetions -he nnnun-re. xerth Items of lmke.lnporIerL ~ [From Onrpwn Correspondent] ?.- ,o_'taws:` us} 18.-'1`lie -7 for ` no `ail is that the teri irtoo long 3 step in the direction of but trade. while the Tories in Parliament take on Otherhchenddecierethes it is nodde- si,_e1l,vthst tho Liberals rum gone bitch on. themselves and their principles. -Mr.` Ti _Bell.

To partly make up the loss of excise revenue some propose to abolish the subsidies to prov- inces, but that would kill prohibition in the smaller provinces where the feeling in favor of it is strong. Direct taxation would be the readiest way but would not be popular. Some have suggested that in order to show that the people mean to enforce the law at least 60 per cent. of the voters should be required to vote for it. The argument is that this would be prima fncle evidence of the existence of a resolute public opinion in its behalf, and without a resolute public opinion it would be a farce. Others say there should be at least a majority of all the voters on the list in favor of it; that if, as happened before. only a fractional part of the whole number of votes was cast, the measure, if passed, could not be enforced. Others again contend that. to become a law, it should bqe carried in every province be- cause if any of the larger provinces, Que- bec, for example, voted against it, it would not and could not be properly en- mrced there, and if Quebec were prac- tically ``wet" it would be diilicult to enforce the measure elsewhere. say in Eastern Ontario. I ventu're'to think this is a somewhat unreasonable proposition. If we are going to introduce the plebi- scite as an institution, well and good; it is a mighty dangerous constitution in a democracy exposed to gusts of passion and emotion, but probably could not be invoked for a better cause than prohibi- tion. The principle of a plebiscite, how- ever, at least the principle recognized in France, -who're it was invented in the interest of the Third Napoleon, is not a majority in every province and depart- ment. any more than at every polling booth, but a majority of all the votes, and not of all the votes actually on the list,but merely of all the votes cast. Sir Oliver Mowat has "the bill in hand and is sure to present the question fairly. Railway Matters. The Government is taking its time with the Crow's Nest project and is wise in doing so, since the action to be taken, whatever it may be, will gravely affect the future of British Columbia. The peo- ple of that province would like the Gov- ernment to construct the road, to begin building at Lcthbridge and push on an- other line from the coast so as ultimately to establish a through route to the Pacic Ocean. The cost would exceed $25,000,- 000. It is said, to be sure, that the road would pay from the start, but we have heard that story before about other Gov- ernment roads. The general conviction is that we cannot do better than let the Canadian Pacific construct the road, with a subsidy of $i(l,000 a mile, from Lethbridge through the pass to Nelson. Later on K can be extended through the Boundary Creek country to Hope. In consideration of this the Canadian Pacic is to he asked to reduce its wheat rates in Manitoba and the Territories and to submit to. maximum Dates and maximum prices for coal carried to the smelter-s. The theory is that the route thrdugh the pass to Nelson will pay handsomely, whence the Canadian Pacic can aord to accept those conditions. Sir Wllliam Van Horne looks at the matter from a strictly business point of view. A subsidy of 010,000 per mile for 825 miles would be 83,250,000, representing at 4 nor cent. a vem-iv rrrnnt nf sum non I! . i luv tsuuuuum , Thlprohibition plebiscite `bill will be brought down in as few days. No doubt the Government will let the electorate know what it is voting for and what the silent of ciu-vying prolilbttion would be.` To begin with. there is the $8,000,000 of excise revenue, which would have to be replaced somehow, and the 02,000,000 of revenue now accruing to the provinces and municipalities from .the tramo. Then the?Pnohibition Commission reported in favor of compensation, which would amount to a large sum. perhaps to 825,- 000,J)00. Then there is the cost of enforc- ing the law by the Dominion all along the sea and land frontier from Cape Bre- ton to Victoria. withthe United States wet." That would take a considerable sum annually, provided. that is, an hon- est eilort were made to enforce. I_. er con- tra, we should gain a good deal in a material way through having less drunk- enness, whilst the moral gain would be still atcr, always provided there was a so, ientiy strong public opinion be- yhl d_ the low to see that it was properly `a ' areas.` If there was not, if things went 'on as they did in many places under the -Scott Act, the moral gain would not be ` perceptible.
