Sensing instinctively that, given two years under the new tariff conditions, Canada may begin to walk in new pathways of prosperity, they feel bound to warn all and sun- dry that an election should be brought on at once. They are mak- Ing use of the resignation of Hon, Walter Mitchell, "on a grave mattér of policy"'--as they say--to that no time be lost in securing a test of the St. Antoine electoral opin- | lon and, betten.gtill, of the opinion of the country at large. From the standpoint of political strategy, this whisper-mongering of "appeal to the country" is 'the right thing. It gives a certain indication of fearlessness, of faith in the right- eousness of one's cause, of militant readiness, that may make passing appeal in certain parts of Canada, But it points more than that. It betrays the fact that the high-pro- tectionists behind Mr. Meighep are réady to gamble everything on a spectacular and uncalled-for appeal to the country. Its real significance lieg in the fear that the country may find the proof of the Liberal pudding, in the eating and that a year or two of lowering taxation, lower costs of living, and general trade improve- ment will produce the results the Sponsors of the present fiscal poli- cles prophecy. - -- Only Hale N But the a og immedi- ate election may still their voices.

Contrariwise, their sub- stantiation might necessarily result in the resignation of the Minister, the Porter resolution declaring the honor of parliament to have been impugned. Only once before has a Minister of the Crown been impeached in the parliament of Canada. Hon. Hector Langevin played the central part in a _ similar drama in the 90's, and in his case, the laying of charges led to resignation, oblivion, and an even- ing of life spent in loneliness and poverty, Ee -- Two Viewpoints. It is strange how the same occur- rence, the same set of circumstances, may affect in very different ways dif- ferent individuals. Sir Thomas White, two days before the Home Bank closed its doors, received from its directors, "for professional ser- vices," a cheque for $1,500, which he put through his account in the ordinary way; Hon. James Murdock, two days before the crash, drew out $4,000 of his own money--perhaps all he had in the world. Sir Thomas knew for years that the Home Bank Way in a precarious state, He--one among othe: 00k no action, and the Bank failed." He got his $1,500; thousands of depositors lost their all, five. millions or mare. Mr. Mur- dock 'knew of the bank's state but a ancial page. The second of these, in particular, is a gem ang, since it re- refers to that which went before, may be worth quoting in part: "Following the improvément not- ed yesterday in the Canadian textile industry, it is interesting and gratl- tying to note another similar bit of §ows in the instance of the iron and Steel markets.
