It also knocks on the head Sir Charles Tupper’s beautiful scheme of a preferential tarifi' for the grain products of the colonies. It would be a very nice thing indeed for Canada if Britain would put a duty on American grain and let our: go in free. Australia would of course want preferen- tial Went of its mutton and wool; the Cape could make out a strong case for its boat products; and it would be very odd if India could not beat Tapper in the race for better terms. That would leave Canada practically no better of!“ in the end, and the poor British consumer would be heavily handiclpped with pre- ferenfid'tarifi'e for the benefit of colonies ed by Lord Salisbury have found any favor with the general public. Some constituencies may have been influenced by the fallacies that have been industri- ously preached; but there is nothing to show that any marked body of public opinion in Great Britain has swerved from allegiance to the free trade principles accepted by both political patties. “Fair trade” and tarifl' retalia- tion are tskinb ideas with the unthinking, and it would not have been surprising if they had nfi'ected the results in not a few constituencies, though we do not believe they would stand a full and searching Our finance minister, Mr. Foster, will now see that retaliation is a game that we can play at. There is some talk of Canada retaliating by putting heavy tolls on American vessels going through the St. Clair flats canal, which is admitted to be in Canadian territory. The policy of retaliation is very unwise. Our ministers at Ottawa are playing to the jingo spirit for political effect, and President Harrison 1: doing the same. The common-sense planâ€"the Christian planâ€"would be for the two countries to be as neighbourly as possible and do everything in their power to remove trade barriers. How is it that in the British after. election echoes nothing is mid about “fair trlde” or tariff retaliation by the advocates of those fade in thin country. If a. majority had been recorded for Lord Salisbury it would have been hailed as a great victory for “fair trade.” and with some reason. Lord Salisbury in two singular speeches not; only went back on his own record of five years ago, when he floated “fair trade” and protection, but pudered to what he seemed to think I strong and growing sentiment in in favor. The Standard md other leading organs of conservative opinion condemned his ViOWl as economically unsound and as politically dangerous. There are so far no indication: that the view: then advanc- ture. It authorizes the president on and after the first of August to levy a toll of $2.00 on s ton and 85.00 a passenger on Canadian vessels passing through the “Son" canal. It will simply drive all Canadian vessels out of the business if put into force, and will prove most disastrous to very importsnt and growing shipping interests. It will injure the Isrmers of the Northwest, as it will lower the price of their grain by increasing the cost of getting to market, and it will sdvsnee the price of coal in the North- west.’ It will injure the C. P. R. shipping interests. though it will benefit their railway in some ways. The retaliation bill aimed at Canadian Ihipping passing through the "Soo" canal has posted both houses of congress and has received President Harriaon’s signs.

Conservative papers are finding much comfort in the fact that Mr Gladstone‘s majorityisa good deal smaller than his most sanguine supporters expected. But it is enough to turn out the Salisbury government; and Mr. Gladstone quietly points out that many liberal ministers have carried great reforms with majorities not nearly so large as the one he now has at hisicouimapd. . As “an old parliamen: A royal commission to enquire into the outbreak of small pox in British Columbia has been demanded. The question at issue is whether the wide spread dissemination of the contagion in Victoria. is traceable to the seed of the plague brought to Van- couver by the Empress of Japan. or whether it was due to the importation of Chinese sugar into Victoria direct by the steamer Phra Nang. As British Columbia. is the Canadian gateway for the Orient it is of the utmost importance that it should be carefully guarded to prevent the en- trance of the plague that frequently devas- tate Eastern countries. If the Dominion government does not appoint the commie sion the local government will in all ro- bability act The peo 1e are determ ned that al the facts shall brought out. and that eve possible premution shall be taken in t e future. pass such a law. The president of the prohibition league, a lawyer at repute, is confident such an act is not beyond the power of the legislature. Col. Denison rashly remarked at the Dominion day celebration in Toronto. anent the exodus. that “all the winnowed wheat remained in Canada. whilst the chaff drifted to the United States. The gallant colonel has been severely taken to kfor his uncalled-tor sneer. Mr Thos. . Ballantyne of West Branch. Mich, handles the colonel pretty sharply. and advances an illustration that proves a good deal more than would appear at the first glance. In the county in Michigan in which Mr. Ballantyne resides four of the six county officers are Canadians. These officers are all elected. and the Canadians must be numerous when they control so many omoes. It is well-known that in the United S tes Canadians easily attain fositionso trust and responsibility. but t is not so easy to get the elective public nu MW w_.-__â€" tax-y hand" he is pretty sure to pull through. He will simply introduce some important and pressing English reforms a. session earlier than intended. At the general elections in Manitoba a vote was taken on prohibition, and the people have declared in its favor. The vote was simply declaratory. and an act of the legislature will be required to make it the law of the land. Such act will now no doubt be passed; and then will again come at the constitutional question whether plocal legiglature hag p‘owen‘to BSSS.’ ' fé'dHiâ€"don'fifie'ieh'fiai’fia‘m nnmlltskubly tnudulent, there He hund- gl'ds lift at least doublou CW1, .12: or oomslyextn cap v 3nd delnde some novel» midst be supposed able b ca. at themselves offices.

If Mr. Blake had been gover- nor-general during the past four years there is little doubt as to what he would have done. The people of this country have had opportunities of recording judgments, and until their popular decisions are reversed in the proper way the situation must be accepted, without invoking a dangerous exercise of the prerogatives of the crown. At the same time there have been instances when the It seems that in. Gladstone in an article pub'ished in the Fortnightly some months ago figured out. for himself a._majority of 46, and gave in detail the flzures upon which he based his calculation. This reminder is cabled as another proof of the G. 0. M38 thorough knowledge at the situation. The actual majority is 40. crown, in the interests of the people and of populargovernment, should have pre- vented malversstion of public money and called for an appeal verdict upon measures like the gerrymander designed to under- mine the government of the people by the people. The people have recorded their confidence in the Haggai-ts, the Dewd- neys and the Chapleaus, and it is not surprising if the queen’s representstives, accustomed to the high standard of per- sonal honor which is the rule with British public men, have accepted their assurances and have not insisted upon explanations that would have been awkward, or inves- tigations that would have, been impossible. Mr. Farr-er. who h;â€" done the principal editorial work on the Globe. has resigned from the stafl‘ of that paper, and Is about to retire from active journalism ATN ODD Rum r. We observe that some of our “esteemed contemporaries" are suggesting, now that Mr. Gladstone is soon to be at the head of affairs, that Mr. Blake may, after a short service in the imperial parliament, return to Canada as govemor-general ; and some go a step further and propose that he should in that capacity deal with certain scandals at Ottawa in the way it is believed a strong. able and decided governor-general would deal with them. , 77.. _ 131.3-..- EDITORIAL NOTES. ...... The Canadlen. Mr. Tarte's paper. has devoted considerable attention to the question. which it calls ‘ the great evil.” and in a recent article describes the exodus as the result of a long succession of national disasters. These have led to the ruin of the farmers. who can no longer make a living from the soil. Butter and cheese are the onl articles that it pays to produce. Others onot pay owin to the absence of a market at home and e Fro- hibition duties imposed by the Un ted States. The attempt to o n the American market iailedlthrough e unwillingness of our government to admit American manufacturers because Canadian manu- facturers feared that to do so would dimi- nish their profits. Our monopolists. organized for the defence of their fortunes and the maintenance of the existing order of things. are prepared when necessary to subscribe millions of dollars to carry elec- tions.
