What it can and does do is to enable some individuals in the protected country to take money from others of their fellow- citizens. Nothing is thus added to the general wealth of the country, but some thus obtain money that under fair condi tions they would not have got. while some are forced to part with a share of their earnings without getting value therefor. My. Feb. 27. LINDSAY ' ,FRIDAY. The organs of the adminstrative com- mittee of the combines do not like the sudden return to free trade and the abandonment of the principle of protection in South Wales. This, of course, is only what might be expected. But the circum- stance is full of significance. Protection has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. just as it has been in Canada, and as New South Wales has cast ofl‘ her shackles so will Canada at no distant date. Montreal Gazette: The British Colum- bia Methodist conference has declined to pass a resolution on the Manitoba school question. holding that it would be unwise thus to interfere in politics. There may be much Christian wisdom in this course, though those who resolved on it will miss much newspaper advertising of their views.

The road could be profitably built for that amount per mile. The government would not. however, put aside an election contractjob. It will be remembered that a company ofl’ered to build the Canadian Pacific Railway for 132,500,000 less money and 2,500,000 acres ;less of land than the syndicate contract} lprovided for, and put up something be-‘ tween half. a million and a million dollars in cash as security for its good faith and fulfilment of the contract, but the govern- ment did not want to save money; it wanted contractors willing and able to i help the government win elections. capital want to have a new Canadian flag ! with the maple leaf or beaver in the place {now occupied by the provincial arms. {We knew this country was in need of 5 something, but we thought that something ! was agricultural settlers, capital, markets. honest, capable men in politics, and all that sort of thing. But we may have been mistaken; what is needed to make big crops, multiply tall chimneys, give everybody the work and wages that the N. P. was to, but did not, give, and make everybody comfortable and happy. maybe a new flag with a big beaver or maple leaf on it. How would it do to put a whole maple tree on it, and by way of lending piquancy and truthfulness to the figure to have the boss of the red parlor tapping it for sugar Having drawn ample incomes, to which few Canadians object as long as Canada's 1 executive is competent, the gentlemen at ‘ Ottawa seem to consider themselves ‘ entitled to some pickings. After the sub- stantial meal, so to speak, they are able to dispose of quantifies of sugar plums. Though the small boy often scampers the solid meal in order to do justice to the sweetmeats, the Ottawa ministers have proved themselves able to take care of both the main source of income and all ofl‘icial sugar plums. For instance, though the ministers draw salaries of $7,000 each, and though many of them ‘travel on passes and at no personal ex- ’ pense, the following amounts, as given in i the columns of an eastern contemporary, i represent additional sums drawn to cover 1 what is scarcely an outlay; perhaps to 1 cover a privilege. n 1 In.- "a! i P. 0 Department.

In common with many of the citizens of Lindsay, we have been in the dark for some time as to just how. far the Dominion and provincial fish and game regulations frat-cruise or conflict in this district.
