Sir William commended such an interpelation of public sentiment to the conservatines who revered the memory of Sir John Macdonald and reynembered his last appeals in the name of loyalty and British connection. Perhaps it may be said that Sir William has no more right to talk on moderate tariff than Mr. Tarte had to boom a high tarifi.
