Sir John Thompeon has been excep- tionally fortunate in his political career, and he had a great opportunity at the commencement of his practical leadership of the tory party to open a new chapter nnd to pave the way for better things.

' The dmte hiled to entry the Ohii; electors‘ woe to: prudenthutstfll won The significance of the democratic victory on the other side is enhanced by official returns and by the explanation and admissions of the defeated party, as well as by the comments and criticisms of the independent and regular democratic journals. It is generally admitted and accepted as a crushing defeat of McKin- leyism or high protection, and an unfair attempt is made to throw the blame on the Ohio politician who gave his name to the measure which he introduced and passed in accord with the views of the active and leading members of the repub- lican party, with some notable exceptions. ‘ But the democratic victory means much The Manitoba school question is re- garded by many as the rock ahead for Sir John Thompson. His position has been rendered more dificnlt by his half-promise of remedial legislation, and he is now feeling his way in that direction. No cabinet changes of importance are expected. Mr. Carling will probably re- tire in course of time, though he does not want to do so. Mr. Bowell may be trans- ferred to the presidency of the council. Mr. Bullock Ives is to go in to represent the eater-n townships, a Protestant Eng~ : fish-speaking portion of Quebec’s people. Mr. Chapleau is still hesitating between Spencerwood and the cabinet. If he goes to the “ancient capital” it is believed that the days of the DeBoucherville ministry will be numbered, as Mr. Chapleau is I hardly on speaking terms with most of them, though that should make no differ- ence. Lieut-Gov. Anger’s name is again connected with the Dominion cabinet, and it is said he will lead in the senate. THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORY. tions. He could have improved politics and purified the political atmosphere, but with Caron on one side and Haggai: on the other he has probably given it up as a hopeless task, and has decided to go on in the old ways. where we will treat you welt and make you happy, and send all your Parcels to the Station. to our farmers. They have been hard pressed by the tariff retslistionists and are anxiously looking for the removal of the burthens. Why should they hope for relief from the rebellion of the American farmers and artisans against monopoly and \ high taxes when they submit patiently to the heavy bnrthens they have imposed upon themselves. They could easily throw off their burthens if they arose in their might and voted as one man for tariff reform. But a very large and powerful section will vote in one way because it is labelled “tory,” though by so doing they vote to keep on the burthens. or they vote that way because some dema- zogue raises the cry thst it isnot patriotic to trade with 1:11er orthatitis more patriotic to trade with the mother country, though not so advantageom for, many pmdnetionsandsoon. ..1‘,heyallow aide in. to divert their “mien from The removal of the high McKinley duty on wool will prove of no little benefit to the farmers of Ontario. The McKinley tarifi‘ on barley will no doubtbe lowered to 10¢. or perhaps less. and the obstructive duties on other important articles in our list of farm production: will, it is clear, he reduced or abolished. The question of time of removd is of special interest The reason is plain and has been more than once explained in these columns. The McKinley tariff on Canadian barley had the same efl'ect on New York state barley prices and for the same reasons. free list was passed by the democratic house of representatives last winter, and now awaits the action of the senate. Paradoxical as it may seem. a duty on wool lowers the price of the home-raised article, and free wool increases the price. This has been proved by experience. .‘ a great victory in that state. Ohio is a republican stronghold, but the democrats elected a majority of congressmen, though the state had been gerrymandered by the republicans so that it was thought that they would beat their opponents two to one in the congressional delegation. One district was compared to ashoe-string in appearance as it stretched from the centre of the state to Lake Erie. But the Idemocratic candidate, M. D. Barter, a very able man, was elected by a big majority. In northern Ohio a notable straight out free'trader, Tom Johnson, was returned. The Ohio vote hasaddition a1 significance because it shows that the Ohio farmers were no longer deluded by the wool duty, out of which the repub- licans endeavored to make no little capital. The greatest wool producing counties ranked amongst those giving the largest democratic majorities. Free wool is one of the measures promised by the demo- crats, in fact a bill butting wool on the _ PATERSON 81 60., The Bargain House of Lindsay EEI Kat“ m A , o ' “mmmlnmtfilflmmmtmaflmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmammm________ , g -'l‘ho hound volnmootfiupen Immo- putamwmt-anwnamm; htnflyoquuommcmh mm. mum min: ounce-um.
