From the extent of their opera- tions the “victory” must have cost well up into the thousands. Envelopes enclosing a $5 bill and bearing the simple legend “Vote for Fairbairn” were liberally scattered through the townships. But that figure was doubled and trebled in ofi'ers to get votes. The carruption was in many cases open, shameless, rampant. The dozen tory oficials and cempofollow- en who suddenly appeared in the riding came for no other than boodling oper- stions.

They turned- the tables on the republican party by glvmg the democrats an unpanlleled majerity in 7L -5..- A.-- of congress. But under their more con- servative system of checks and guarantees it takes a longer time to give efl'ect to an expression of the people’swill. The ways and means committee have agreed to re- port favorably bills for Free Wool and Free Binding Twine, and a bill to place cotton ties, cotton bagging and machinery for manufacturing the same on the free list. Whatever the Ontario farmer or the Victoria county farmer may think of the binder twine question, the American farmer considers that it is far from a question of no consequence, and the democrats are carrying out their promises by bringing in legislation that will be of no small advantage to the agricultural interests. The democratic policy is certain to receive eitensive popular sup- port. It is on the line recommended years ago by Garfield, Arthur, Hamilton Fish and other republican leaders and statesmen before that party had wholly given itself over to the con- trol of the monopolists and combinesters, just as the tory party in :Canada has gone under the control of the red parlor a men; and it is now receiving the approval of many leading republican business men of New England, where it is steadily gaining ground. A republican ex-gover- nor of Massachu saetts has pronounced in favor of tarifi‘ reform and freedom of trade; and the democratic governor of that state has been re-elected largely upon that THE RECIPROCITY NEGOTIA- TIONB. It is to be deeply regretted in the best interests of the country that the reciprocity negotiations opened last week at Washington have failed to produce any result whatever. The Canadian commis- sioners do not seem to have gone about their work in the right way. They do not appear to have consulted the imperial authorities, though they had ample time to do so before starting to Washington. If they had been sincere in their efl'orts to obtain reciprocity they would, as sensible men, have arranged these prelim- inaries before starting, and not have placed themselves in an awkward position. The suspicion is justified that they were endeavoring to handle the subject in such a way as would prove effective in the bye- elections, and enable them in the future to “wave the old flag” to the utmost. Though themselves guilty of tariff dis- crimination against England and of having sacrificed the interests of the Mother Country to the N. P., they will undoubt- edly go into the patriotic business with increased fervor to cover up the humilia- tion of their failure at Washington. An outbreak may be expected all along the Though the reciprocity cause may be injured by the insincere conduct of Ottawa ministers it is bound to triumph, and thnt coon.

It has created considerable excitement in business circles. Mr. Blair frankly stated that the interest on the debt of New Brunswick had increased from $45_000 in 1882 to $103,000 at the Mr. Laurier has recovered his health sufiiciently to visit Toronto. wherehe made a short speech at a meeting of the Young Liberal Club. He has gone to West Huron to help M. C. Cameron in the bye-election. He repelled with indignation the insin- uation of certain tory organs that his illness was feigned. The London Daily News understands that at a meeting of provincial conservative agents on Saturday the Salisbury govern- ment was advised to dissolve parliament at the earliest possible date. The Chronicle says: “Few politicians will be surprised if the dissolution of parliament comes at Easter. Things never looked so like a collapse since Sir Stafford Northcote star ed the handful of members by fingersn’cing the dissolution of parliament The finances of New Brunswick are in a bad way. In a recent public address Premier Blair admitted a deficit for the past year of between $60,000 and $70,000. He now proposed to make the revenue meet the expenditure by levying a tax on banks. insurance. telegraph and telephone companies, and kindred organizations. This announcement is possibly put out as ,sje.__a_ln Mr.Cargill was elected in Bruce by a very narrow majority. The conservative Kincardine Review complains bitterly that Hon. John Haggai-t was billed for meet- ings in the riding but failed to appear. Mr. Haggai-t was busy in North Victoria securing by boodle a “vindication.” It is stated that the Hon. Wm. Macdou- gall. who has spent the greater part of his active public life in Canada. is preparing an autobiography; Mr. Maodougall is one of the fathers of confederation, and possesses an immense amount of informa- tion touching the litical mix-s of the Dominion. thegnh icatiion of which will 51-58th time. Mr. Bowers. the liberal candidate for Digby, N. S.. was re-elected Saturday by a majority increased from 73 to 256. Mr. Borden, the liberal candidate, was elected in Kings,‘N.

One of these liberals largely ncreased his majority. while the majority of theother was slightly reduced; on the whole. the. liberals more than held their The Dundasfi'l‘rue Banner remarks that it is well known there was a great deal of boodling “done by the members of the Ottawa cabinet, and that the money did not all pass through Sir Hector Langevin’s hands. Hon. David Mills said at St, Thomas the other night that he had seen receipts from ministers of the crown for money advanced to the government to help itcarry the elections, and that one minister had given his receipt for $32 000. and another for $28,000, while the North Shore railway. constructed by Mr. Mc- Gree . had subscribed at one election $478, to the corruption fund. Mr. Mills is a man of sane mind and knows what a receipt for money is when he sees it. He says that the whole subject will be opened up during the coming session of parlia- ment. What strikes many peop e as strange is that although all this boodling took place while the Old Man was at the head of aflairs it is only now being brought to light." The Woodstock Sentinel-Review says: "Mr.Ballantvne is unquestionably right on the question of pork in relation to the tar- ifl’. U. S. pork would not affect the market here; and Canadian pork cannot have any advantage in the common market of Britain except what superior quality gives it. -Mr. Ballantyne’s position is borne out by Prof. Robertson, who spoke as follows at Toronto the other day: ‘The average price of the bacon shipped from the U. S. to England during the same year was about seven cents per pound, while the Canadian product was from 11 to l§ cents higher. The quality wanted is lean pork from dairy-fed swine. To meet the require- ments of the English market more of our swine should be sold by the farmers alive, to be killed at making houses, where the carcases can treated in a uniform 651':â€" B'n Saturday. carcases can he treated in a uniform manner. In the long run it pays the far mer betteras a rule to sell his swine on fool: than to market them dressed" In other words it is the breed of our swine, the nature of their food and the method of packing that ves Canadian pork the preference in e English market.
