Mr. Murphy came into politics just as Mr. ParmLJlee left them, found himself the Minister responsible for the Printing Bureau, of which Mr. Parmalee :was the permanent head, and tool; a violent aversion to him. Wher- Mr. Murphy found himself oblige"! to investigate the Bureau, he stu‘diously snubbed Mr. Parmelee, bringing in another Deputy Minister over his head to help him with the investigation. Indigni-ties have been heaped upon Mr. Parmel-ee all‘summer, and now is seems that Mr. Murphy is de- mandinghis dismissal. forted this part of his speech as allows: “Mr. Macdonald clearly enun- dated the policy of the Liberal party as affecting the tariff question. They had the same pol- icy in the West as in the East. The eopie of the West did not want ree trade any more than those in the East, and they ascertained that the on] shouting for free trade In the est came from the Tory camp. He believed that the future of Nova Scotia was wrapped up in its manufactures, and there would be no tariff changes to disturb them. i “The motto of our neighbors to the south had been to look out for number one and previous to fourteen years ago it had been al- most the annual custom of the Conservatives to send delegates on tariff missions to Washington. Now the order was changed and the missions were from Washing,- ton to Ottawa, and Canada through Sir Wilfrid, intended to look out for number one. Some rougthspots in the tariff would be smoothed out; but no change will be made that would interfere with the Brit- ish Preference or with the vested interests of men who had put their money in the East. The policy,he declared, was that the tariff would be maintained as it is, only rem- edging where it unduly_ presses.” “The only shouting of free 'trade in the 'West came from the Torv camp.”-â€"II.M.

Graft prevails because there is not enough insurgency in parties which are in power.
