LINDSAY, THE NEW 0 PPOSI TI ON LEADER. Mr. Matter has been elected by the opposition as their leader in the place of Mr. Meredith, who on the same day was sworn in as chief justice of the court of common pleas. Mr. Meredith thus bids farewell to public life and we join, in all thathas been said regarding his fitness for the high and honorable position which he has assumed. No one thinks other- wise than the opposition is now weaker than ever, but from a tory standpoint Inns-Hana the change is thought to be for the than ever, but Il'Uut a w., -...__,-__, ‘ perhaps the change is thought to be for the ‘ better. Mr. Matter may be more pliable. ‘ His political conscience may be more elastic, and it is thought by some that his policy will be, “the end justifies the means.” This policy resulted in the “big push Wilkinson” attempt to bribe parliament, which so signally failed, and in the failure of which Mr. Meredith, when it was discovered, gave his aid. There are tories who think, “beat the grits any way,” is a principle which con- dones the worst kind of political wrong-doing, and it is this idea which encourages some of the opposition to think that the new leadership is better than the old. Mr. Matter entered nar- liament in 1883 as member for Muskoka, and held that constituency until the recent elections, when he successfully contested North Toronto against Mr. Joseph Tait. He is a man much past middle life, and as the Empire says, though not an orator. stillis anearnest and impressive speaker. What we believe he lacks is that parliamentary skill and ex- perience in the practice and procedure of the house which will place him at a marked disadvantage with such men as compose the government, and will make the contrast still greater between him and the late leader.

This is a fact now so evident that the tor-y press, while not admitting it, no longer deny it. The liberal party must be gratified to find that at last the tide is turningâ€"that public opinion becomes daily more fixed towards a change. and regards the screechings and entreaties of the tory press with as little respect as Mr. Curran did Mr. Hughes, when the latter called upon him, during his recent visit to Lindsay. Public opinion has set, and as it moves on in its majesty and its might, to check it now is like attempt- ing to stop a hurricane with a house of cards. We do not say that the liberal party of itself has wrought this remarkable change in public sentiment, but we can most justly claim that the vie we now entertained by the patrons, the McCarthyites, and the independents are the same identical views, at least upon the trade question, advocat- ed, advanced and battled for by the liberal party, in season and out of season, for many years past. We admit that Mr. McCarthy has induced many a conserva. tire to pause and think. We canimagine the astonished listener saying to himself “why this song of McCarthy's is the old, old song of the liberal party, there must besemething init.” Likewise. the patrons are now telling the tale of tarifl' injustice, told many times and Ofb, by the liberal speakers.

In Eng- land it is the masses first. In Canada it is the classes first. If Spratt S; Killen had secured the only one thousand bushels of pease in the district, perhaps they might like a duty on pease entering the county. They then could add to the price enough of the duty to enable them to undersell the imported pea, and just that much added of the duty would be their further profit. Very nice for Spratt : Killen, but not so nice for the man who eats pease. But we grow and sell more pease than we consume. We exported last year 3,500,000 bushels of pease and imported not quite 1,200 bushels. So, protection for the pea raiser is a screaming farce. Spratt 8.: Killen just strike the difi'erence between the English and Canadian farmer. We sent out of the country last year to England alone nearly $16,000,000 worth of agricultural products; that is, after satisfying ourselves, we had 816,000,000 vs. “at! _-_â€". The Empire, knowing that the farmers have, 9 out of 10, turned the corner, seeks now to frighten them back. by picturing the English farmer as dragged to ruin by the free trade tariff of Great Britain. It does not occur to the Empire that to discover now, after half a century of free trade beneficence, that the British tariff is to blame for the farmer’s condi- tion is rather a sort of posthumous dis- covery. Nor does it appear to appreciate that the material conditions of the two peoples are as different as chalk is from cheese. Canada produces more than it consumes. England produces less than it consumes. This is just wherein the dif- ference lies, and well the Empire knows it. Farmers in England, no doubt, would like protection, for then the masses would have to buy the home product or else pay the price of imported food, plus the duty, General Booth could no longer supply a meal for a cent. Mr. Courtney, M.P., the very man quoted by the Empire, rejects at once the idea of protection to the English farmer because he says “it would raise the price of food to the people. ” wort}; to_send to England. In the name of Solomon then how can an import duty thus help the farmer, when he exports not yv u.-vâ€"- _- events. The Trent Valley Canal, doled out as a. huge bribe, now asbefore, will be but a chip in porridge to retard the im- pending defent which the government seeks to escape by means of public bribes of that kind. imports. said Mr. McCarthy, “ We are "uterine upmaperiodofhardtimes, such as that of 1874378, under the Mackemie govern- ment and he had been among those who accused the Mackenzie government of cau- sing that depression, and nowhe was free to say that in that he did injustice and wrong to Mr. Mechanic." But what does this new order of things mean to the toties. Nothing short of their entire annihilation, and well they know it. So every argument. every means foul and fair is now and will be employed to arrest the positively certain progress of -uua But the Empire in its extremity mis- states the facts regarding the English farmer. The British tariff is not the cause of agricultural depression in the old land The English farmers don't say it is. The English press does’nt say it is. Mr. Courtney, M. P., speaking on the 2nd inst., said that the state of depression of which the farmers complained, was due to the depression of gold. ‘ The Times attributes the losses to the effects of drought, which increased the area devoted to hay, and induced a marked diminution in cattle and sheep. The fact that the area under wheat has increased by 28,000 acres in England alone does not suggest that the British farmer is fright- ened. The Times sums up the result as follows :-â€"f‘ Speaking generally, we may say that, if we can no longer hope for a really good year. we may reasonably expect that it will turn out a good deal better than many others which our farm- ers and their landlords have somehow managed to battle through together.” Everything indicates beyond question that the tory press see the trend of public opinion. It is too late now to harp back and go in for free trade, as once the tory party were prepared to do. In 1878 the tory party were ready to flop either way, according as Mr. Mackenzie was for or against free trade. The proof of this comes from the lips of Mr. McCarthy, who says: new to Get n ‘3“?

When is this thing going to cease? If the Warder could only advance the virtue of sincerity as cause for its everlasting tirade it could command some little respect. No one thinks other- wise than it is all done for his own politi- cal advantage. If it were not so he should rejoice (if he were consistent) that Lift Satolli's visit should strengthen r. Laurier, who has always opposed connec- tion between church and state, while the to leaders in Quebec have always upheld it ecause thereby they were kept in power. But the idea of M'gr Satolli’s visit having any such object is about as ridiculous as the Warders everlasting “ We." The 15th inst was the last day for receiv- ing declarations in support of names to be placed upon the Dominion voters' list. If all that is said be true the local tories are not remiss in their denunciation of Mr. Fairbairn, M. P. He was expected. it is said, to look after the township of Vern- lam, but he either forgot it. neglected it. for not a single name was added. Great Jehosiphat! weren't they mad. Mr. Fairbairn's friends, however, rather excuse than condemn him. They don't relish the coquetting which is going on between a. certain doctor and three or four Lindsay men at Mr. Fairbairn's ex- pense. They think the man who has batâ€" tled and won so often should not be passed over unless he wishes it. We don't mind saying we think there is no excuse for his bad behaviour. The bill for the Won of theme- lees federal voten' lists now amounts $113.”. The wheat :ufipments from the North- west to the East over the Canadian Pacific railway, have, during the past two months, been the largest in the history of the company. During September nearly three million bushels were taken out, compared with 1,100,000 during the same month in 1893. This represents over five thousand loaded cars. On Monday telegrams were received from difl‘erent parts of the pro- vince asking for nearly two hundred empty cars. Last week's receipts and shipments at Fort William were also the largest in the history of the company, represented as follows : Receipts,_ _1“,g‘l§.j_02 ; shipments, 1,7 7,353; in store,” -, The liberals of London, Ont, last we re-nominated Mr. T.
