The debate on the address is proceed- ing slowly, and promises to be, with the exception of the Manitoba school question, the main feature of the session. The immediate leaders on both sides have spoken, and it is not denied that the scorching the government received was as pitiless as it was deserving. For the government admit a widespread condi- tion of depression. Hitherto they have denied it, and their followers nave joined in the denial and cheered it each time it‘ was made. Now they concede it, and justify the excuse quite as easily. They deny now that the N. P. was ever expect- ed to be preventative of hard times. The fact is, never in the history of Canada has the condition of the agricultural class been so bad as it is to-day, and the more protection, th'd worse it naturally will become. . . -,I_ -2 (Janka-nun WUULuv. The leaders on either side of the house wisely abstain from strong language on the Manitoba school question. Mr. Laurier, however, asserted in very positive language that had the government adopted 774 _.'L1-. {4.5 Mani- 11:11ng vâ€"wâ€" _, _ a more conciliatory tone with the Mani.1 toba government the unhappy existing friction would have been avoided. The Manitoba government cannot be ordered and coerced, and the course adopted by the Ottawa cabinet suggests that they have intentionally resorted to coersive measures in order to secure the credit in certain quarters of acting aggressively.

That, of course, is on the assump- tion that parliament exists to rovide a means of livelihood for its dis tfinished votaries. It does not seem as it e bar- “a- "mu ha fairlv carried out. Rial-ice. It does nor. seem ‘ gain would be fairly carried. One estimate has it that the recent ad vance in crude petroleum will add 850- 000.000 to the value of the Standard Oil Trust‘s property. Perhaps this is the reason behind the unexpected rise in the value of the commodity. The Standard oil people have nearly a monopoly of the refining business in the United States, , ,r mun. .- Mnm their raw 'Ihe Belleville Intelligencer says : “Ihe ‘ time for growing grain for export in this province has passed, and there are some people who, no doubt, blame the govern- ment for it.” And the Hamilton Times adds : "The government cannot rid itself of a great share of the blame. It promised by restrictive laws to get the farmers better prices for their grain. and it failed. Worse than that : the very legislation which it passed, repelling trade and snubb ing our test customer, helped to induce her to stimulate rival gram growing in South American ”and India. The blame is not unmerited. The Cleveland income tax law, taxing incomes over $4,000 per year, has teen declared unconstitutional in so far as it relates to revenues derived from rents, stocks or bonds, or from aen-held lands. As a result the Astors, the Vanderbilts, the Rockefellers, and other great capital- ists,wi11 escape the tax, but manufacturers, bankers, business men,and salaried or pro- fessional classes who receive $4,000 a year or over, must hand over a portion to the government.

The claims of business, it argues, are of more weight than whatever little political advantage may be gained by keeping up a state of uncertainty about when polling day may be looked for. Busi ness has already sufi‘ered severely because of the doubts which have existed for the past three or four months. It should not be allowed to endure that unnecessary agitation still further, and the way to avoid it is to fix and announce the date of the elections at once.

Mr. Bennett. of East Simcoe, and Mr. Be ley, of Chicoutimi, took oppo- site views with regard to the nature and design of the government's remedial order. Hon. Mr. Laurier spoke at some length,‘ expressing his willingness to advise the governor general and his disinclination to advise his excellency’s advisers. He cen- sured the government for the lateness of the session, and inquired why the N.P. had not fulfilled its promises as a guard against trade depression and a preventer of deficits in the revenue. Eon. Mr. Foster re lied to the liberal leader, saying that ii ere ‘ had been disputes in the cabinet he (Fos- ter) had come through without a scratch, Sir Richard Cartwright and Sir Charles H. Tupper took part in the debate and Hon. Dand Mills secured the floor by moving the adjournment.
