A grave abuse in the Post-Olce De- partment was this: Every year Parlia- ment was asked for an appropriation for the service oi the following year, whereas as a matter of fact a lot of the money was used to pay old accounts that had been lett dragging behind from the pre- vious year. Mr. Muiock called in two ex- pert accountants who have made a mport on this ugly feature. It is obvious that such` a eyttem put a prelhium on waste and johhery. and. as a,matter of strict construction, was illegal in the sense that money voted by Parliament for a certain purpoee covering a certain time" was de- voted to another and a dierent purpose not related to that particular time. The Penlten tiary in vestlgation. Hr. Noxon and his colleagues having nished with Kingston. are now investi- gatiu the aairs of the St. Vincent de. "Paul i nth:-y near Montreal.

' It is s dreadful think, Mr. Foster adds, that the Governor-in-Council should be eilapowered to cut the duties on menu- -tsoeured goods by an eight or a quarter. It deprives the Canadian manufacturer 0! that stability of conditions" which is essential to the successful proneoution of his business. But it was all right for him to refuse stability of conditions" to the Canadian fnrmer, shermen and Wine-grower and menace them not only with a cut of the duties but with abso- lute repeal, which on the protectionist hypothesis would have led to their being swamped by e ood of cheap Yankee and cheaper European stu.

As a matter of fact the self- same principle was oontained in the stat- utory offer of reciprocity in the old N. I . The tariff act of 1894 gave the Governor- in-Counoil power to make American fish free whenever it appears to his satisfac- tion" that the United States had made a reduction or repeal of its duties on Can- adian fish. In like manner the Governor- in-Counoil was given power toreduoe the duty on eggs or abolish it. to remit the whole or part of the duty on French and Spanish wines, to maker shingles and, pulp wood free, and to make barley, In- dian oorn, apples, potatoes and other farm products free whenever it appeared to his satisfaction that Congress was ad- mitting similar articles from Canada free into the United States.

It is nothing to Mr. Fleming that Sydney and Loch Ryan are unknown as terminal points oi ocean navigation and lie far away from the principal trade amvutcs. Nor does it trouble him that his scheme would involve the transhipment of freight from the railway to his slow steamer at Montreal and a second tran- shipment to his fast steamer at Sydney. As for passengers, he takes it for granted that the merchant in Toronto who want- ed to cross the Atlantic would not go to New York, which he can reach nowadays by catching the Empire State express at Bualo in a day and where there is ecmething to see, but would go by rail to Sydney, a matter of 1,350 miles, to iind when he got there that he had struck a place which, to put it mildly, was some- what less interesting than New York and which from the nature oi things could not possibly have as good u steamship service either from n traveler's point of view or from the standpoint of low ocean rates for goods. When, in addition to this, he comes to the conclusion that New York merchants themselves would give New York lines the go-by and rush oil to Europe via Sydney and Look man. one can only marvel at the vigor of his imag- nation. 15- nuns... .. as- s:-v..__.__ -_,., rlululug U plllllpnlelil. Mr. Fleming may be a good engineer but he has strange notions about the economy of transportation. He fancied at one time that he could make Shippe- gan a rival of New York by simply build- ing a railway to it, because Shippegan happened to be nearer Liverpool than New York. In his second pamphlet against the Fast line project he assumes that Sydney could be made a rival of New York for the same reason. Fast vessels should ply between Sydney and Loch Ryan; the distance is 2,160 miles and could be covered in 108 hours. From Sydney slow steamers should be run to Quebec and Montreal with freight. Pass- y engers from Toronto and Montreal would, of course. get to Sydney by rail over the Intercolonial. He actually believes that passengers would go from New York to Sidney toyparticipato in the advantages the Canadian short ocean passage." nothinlr to Mr, Flarnina that Now that the Government has sighed A Fast line not cheaper by 0950.000 a year than t one proposed by Sir Charles Topper, some of the Tory brethren are beginning to doubt if, after all, the navigation of the St. Lawrence from Belle Isle to Montreal at 20 knots an hour is feasible. They were sure it was when they were in (since a few months ago, but to-day they shake their heeds and refer us to Mr. Sandford Fleming's pamphlets.

The House has a great respect for Sir Rich- ard, who has both the luaviter in mode and the fol-titer in re; and business will doubtless go on smoothly to the end of the session. The only things of import- ance remaining to be discussed are the plebiscite bill and Mr. Blair's railway resolutions. pusulauwu Uu resolutions. Mr. Laurier leaves on Thursday for England, where he will be received like a prince. Sir Charles Tupper wanted -- - -..' -Englishman` to restore the Corn Laws for the benefit of the colonial farmer and the British iandioI'd-to abolish the big loaf I and reintroduce the small one--that we in Canada might profit along with Eng- lish landowners like Mr. Chaplin and the Duke of Devcnshire at the expense of the British artisan and his children. Mr. Lnuricr shows his loyalty in a dierent fashion by reducing the Canadian duties in favor of the English artisan and man- ufacturer without asking them to stint their bellies or bedevil their foreign trade. This, as the London Times says, is loyalty of the right sort. while it is also a boon to the Canadian consumer of factory goods, since it makes British goods cheaper and reduces the cost of the Canadian-made article as well. Tup- per would not have dared to stand before a mass-meeting of British workmen and advocate his utterly selsh proposals. When he discussed them publicly in Eng- land it was always before an assemblage of protectionist survivals belonging to or aping the land-owning aristocracy. Mr. Laurier, on the contrary. has taken a stride in the direction of establishing freedom of trade between the Mother Country and the colonies, which is the only basis of closer political union that the British democracy can be expected to approve.
