Just Arrived."- A good assortment of Baby Carriages, LAURIER AND MOWAT. Sir Oliver Will Join the New Liberal Government. __._ The Following is the Letter in which He Announces Hts Intention. Toronto, May 2, 1896. My dear Mr. Lanrier,â€"-When first the application was made to me some weeks ago to give up my position as Premier of Ontario and become a can- didate for a seat in the House of Com- mons, with a view to accepting a pos- ition in the Dominion Reform Governâ€" ment which is confidently expected to follow the general elections, the proposal seemed to me to be out of the question, there being in Parliament under your leadership many able men, and the general elections being likely to add to their number. I disliked what was proposed, because, first of all, it involved severing my connection with North Ox- ford, which has stood by me at so many elections, and where I have so many esteemed personal friends. Then, again, no position which practically could be assigned to me in' the Dominion G0v~ ernment would be equal in popular esti- mation or in my own to that of Premier of Canada’s greatest Province, and there were other reasons. important to myself and my family, which appeared to forbid my making the change suggest- ed. One of these was that the assump- tion of new duties in a new field would , involve an increase of work and worry. while a public man nearly 76 years of age, however full of health and strength he may he, might reasonably be looking for less work and less worry rather than voluntarily taking upon himself more. While I am now abundantly equal to my present duties, and my medical ad- viser tells me that if I do not take too which will be sold at much upon me I may look forward to a small advance on cost.

GOODWIN’S, Baker’ sBlock, Kent-st. ,Lindsay. Works Agency. I l . i Wr‘lease callunuseemyScJ’aper. years yet of active life, it seemed to me that I could not count as nothing the addition of a contested election in a new constituency, and afterwards an nual sessions of Parliament twice as long as in Ontario, and with much later hours. To remove to some extent this objection, it has been suggested that I might take a seat in the Senate instead of the House of Commons. I perceive the advantages of this, both as regards myself personally and as regards the consideration of future constitutional changes which would add to the useful~ ness of that body, assuming that a second Chamber for the Dominion is to be retained. How a second Chamber, consisting so largely of the nominees of one party as the Senate now does, can be just to a new Government of another party, remains to be seen, and the necessity of early constitutional changes may depend on this. GRAVITY OF THE CRISIS. Besides by correspondence with your- self and my personal interview with you, I have during the last few weeks had many communications from and conversations with other representative Liberals, and it has been made plain to me that it is the general opinion of the party to whom: favor and confidence are owing my 23 years of the Premiership of Ontario, that. the crisis is so grave that ovary personal sacrifice has to be made and every incidental risk run if the country is to be rescued from the misgovernment which the Dominim has so long been suffering from. From the reasons laid before me, I perceive that my long experience and my success in official life in this Province are thought to be a guarantee that I could render useful service in the new Gov- ernment and Parliament of the Domin- ion. I feel that I have to consider the matter in the light of these opinions. I am happy to know that you and I are. and, I believe, always have been, in substantial accord as regards Domin- ion questions. Our national. origin is not the same, our religious creeds are different, but. we are both of Canadian birth, we both love Canada and the empire, and we both rejoice in our British connection, we both desire the prosperity of Canada and the well-being of all classes, conditions and creeds in its population, and I belicve that we agree as to the best means of securing these objects. TARIFF LEGISLATION. We are, I believe, at one with respect he dictation jails didactic. N0. 12. the necessity of legislation on the tarifi‘ being gradual and cautious. Adopting that policy, I am glad that you «so your way meantime to changes which will be a relief to our farmers aud at the same time will not injuriously affect but rather benefit manufacturers and their workmen. A government OWL'S a duty to all classes of the people. [quite see that one difficulty in legis- lation, on the subject is the fact that considerable capital has been invested in manufactories on the faith that a system which our people unfortunately have sanctioned for eighteen years would not be abrogated hastily or without due regard to the interests which have arisen under that system. I quite see also, that the difficulty of legislation is greatly enhanced by the enormous debt which the present Government has created during the last eighteen years. and the large revenue which is needed for the payment of the annual charges incident to the debt. Almost every year millions have been added to our liabilities, while hundreds of thousands of dollars of the people's money have been going into the election funds of the party, and still more been wasted by extras and by indifference, incompe- tency, or worse. MANITOBA SCIIOOL QUESTION . The Manitoba school questioa will occupy a good deal of attention during the elections. In the light of past events I should not despair of the ques- tion being settled in a manner accept- able to the reasonable people of Manito- ba and the reasonable Roman Catholics ofthe Dominion. My opinion in regard to it and that of the Liberals of the Ontario Legislature, was expressed in the resolution passed on the subject during our last session. We have had in Ontario questions of various kinds which seemed as difficult of solution as this question is, and they have been dealt with by the Ontario Legislaturg satisfactorily. 3"- O.) these questions and on most others intelligent Conservatides now agree with Reformers, whether they will vote for reform candidates or not. If the Reform platform were less acceptable than it is to intelligent and independent-minded non-Reformcrs, the scandals which have come to light afford more than sufliciont ground for all men to condemn and to join in displacing all men who were parties to the scandals, whatever they arose from. In view of all such facts it is plain to many Conservatives that the usefulness of a Conservative Gw- ernmcnt under its present leaders is gone, and that a few years of Opposition would do the party and the country much good. I venture to concur in that opinion. For myself, in the interest of Canada I desire greatly to see a Government in power under your leadership, being coafidcnt that it would be a good Government, honest and economical, thoughtful with respect to every Prov- ince and to all classes of the people, giving to all their just rights, and pro- moting harmony and good will every- where. It would be an honor to assist you in this patriotic work, and. thcrc~ fore, in deference to your opinion, and that of so many other representative Liberals, I have made up my mind to forego all considerations of a personal kind to the contrary and join you in what will be the second Reform Gov- ernment since Confederation, if such should continue to be your wish. Every- one recognizes the merits of the first Reform Government of which the pure- miuded Alexander McKenzie was leader, and which, unfortunately for the coun- try, the hard times overthrew in 1878. Permit me to say that, in common with my fellow-Liberals throughout Canada, and in common, also, with many candid Conservatives, I have the same confiâ€" dence in you as we all had in Mr. Mac- kenzie, and in the interest of the country I trust that you will have a much longer term of political power for the good of the people of Canada than fell to tie lot 01' our lamented friend. Very hit].- f'ully yours. 0. MOWA'I‘. The Hon. Wilfrid Laurier, M. P., ctr. __..--__... - ..__. ._ _.._.
