Why, then, has he flung this dynamite bomb into the midst of the public ? Well, because he is a dynamiter by profession. To face the angry nation with all his record of failure and shatie, wore certain. ruin, having, as his political associates have done, em- broiled his country in a disastrous war, having increased the national debt by more 'than a third, having handed over the laborer to the capi- talist, having bribed the great heer interests and gratified the priests of the established church." Mr. Harrison is an angry man, and writes so as to Plainly reveal his feel- ings. The war was bad, the country is depressed, and there are some things about the government that cannot be defended. And yet Mr. Chamberlain has obscured thein all by his brilliant campaign, and he has gone too far to make a stir that amounts to no- thing. His dynamite has not exploded in vain if it bring about a closer business relationship between the Mother Country and the colonies. TALK IN THE EAST. Mr. Borden, the leader of the federal opposition, has been' telling the peo- ple of Nova Scotia a secret. It is to the effect that during the last session of parliament he went to the premier, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and intimated that if he offered a resolution, in en- dorsement of the Chamberlain prefor- ential tariff, 'the opposition would support it. Mr. Borden says he did not act any way, and 'independently, because it would mot look well, es: pecially at home. : The idea is here conveyed that the premier was somewhat remiss in the P [discharge of his duty, but Sir Willrid Laurier has yet to be heard fronr, and he is usually very sxplicit in statements of this kind. It has to bé remembered that it was Sir Wilfrid Lautier's government--not the conser vative. government of 1892, as Mr. Foster has alloged--that gave birth to the preferential tariff, and it has to be ;- further, that at the colonig] conference subsequently Mr. Chamberlain did not _give Sir Wilfrid any comfort of chéer in the work to which he was committed. The Hamilton Herald, (independent) calls attention, also, to the fact that the ofiet which the Canadian govern: nient made in 1897 stands to-day, that it extends a preference of 33 1-3 per cent to the British exporter in any case. But this involves the lovy- ing of duties in favour of the United Kingdom, the raising of them on foreign goods, and the imposing of duties on goods now admitted free. The govern- ment may have considered this propo- sition sufficient for the preseat, and the friends of the government may think so too, Frederick Harrison, the well-known abuses of British rule in South Afri- "There 'are few men living," says municipal wickedness. the board of works has at its dispos- al, in answer to the question, What are your politics 2 wrote Guelph Mercury. on her upper register, but she has still Boston Globe.
