o 6 h d The oftâ€"quoted lawyer who is said to haye frequently resorted to the exâ€" pedient of abusing the opposing® atâ€" torney when his own clieni hag Eo ReeeReeenlP. . CC es e e n En c t case, must have been a member of the present Tory Opposition, or at all events if he should join that august . body he would find himself in mighty l congenial company. . Abuse, slander and reckless misrepresentation, seem to be the stock in trade of the oppon:â€" ents of the Government at the present moment, and apparently it is with this admirable, statesmanlike and patriotie policy that they propose to meet the country at the next elecâ€" tion. _ fHon. Mr. Susberland, acting Minister of the Interior, called attenâ€" tion to this discreditable condiuon otf affairs the other day when replying to the latest collaction of ‘Yukon charges.‘ He remarked :â€"‘Sir, it is history_reâ€" peating itselt only worse. In 1878 Alexander Mackenzie and his Governâ€" ment were attacked by All Kinds of Slanders ‘ Â¥ and calumnies, and the policy of the|, present Opposition appears to be as;s they are not able to criticize successâ€" | fully tke administration of the Governâ€"| ment. to throw broadcast the mosttt unfounded slanders against the charâ€" acters of members of the Governm_emle and officials of the Government, withâ€" ; c out any regard to what is right or fair. |I ] It is my humble opinion Mr. Speaker, | that there is not a member sitting on | , the opposite side of the House who Il believes that there is one word of truth in this document, or one just|‘ reason why any action should be taken 1 upon it O It is put forward for one|I purpose only, that is, because hon. gentlemen opposite are unable to find | any just or fair policy with which to I go to the country, they have adopted | | this unfair, improper and immoral policy of throwing unfounded slanders | | against members of the Government. |, In this disgraceful document they |; are not only directing their slanders| against the Liberal party and the|. %‘, ral Government, but they are disâ€" | thMlnd old Dominion of Canada. seems to be no limit| to the length to which these gentleâ€"|â€" men are vll#nztogo in discrediting | and destroythg the country if they can | only make it apvear that there is some || cause tor censure upon the Government. Self Convicted of Slander. i Liberal %-pen have been caliing atâ€" tention to this befere, and the Toronto Globe recently remarked :â€"Is it not a fact that Mr. Alexander Mackenzie when Premier of Canada was the viectim of a seandal cry nnatulled for persistence and ferocity in the history of Canadian politics?" The Mail reâ€" plies :â€"*‘No, the statement is wholiy untrue." Unfortanately for the Mail however, a file of its issue of a quarter of a centary ago is still extant, and in , those k numbers are found the| followi itorial comments, among| many of a like character, hayâ€"| ing refe to Mr. Mackenzie :â€"â€"â€" "Mr. | Mackenzie e‘ proved incapable and , his inept, trayagent, corrupt and | hy poeritical reign is to end."" ‘"A man | capable of descendimg to. the despicâ€"| able means to retain his hold of office | and its emoluments, and therefore, | unfitted to fill the Yosition he holds."| There is no man in Parliament whose‘ language is coarser, or more insulting | than the Premier‘s. _ His perversion of facts is notorious." ‘‘With all his professions of honesty, no more reckless man ever engaged in the politics ot: this conatry." | The country realizes now the cruel injustice done to Mr. Mackenzie by the Mail‘s calumnies, and the same game will not succeed in driving the present | Government from power. The New Preferential. | With the beginning of this week the new preferential tariff came into force, | and all imports of English manutacturâ€" ed goods are now admitted into| Canada at twoâ€"thirds of the duty | charged upon the products of other| countries. As a result of this latest reduction the summer shipments of| British manutactures to the Canadian| market haye been larger than ever| before, and without any except.ion,l those in position to judge of the conâ€" ditions appear to agree that this will! be a permanent and growing effect ot the Laurier policy of Imperial preferâ€" ence. There is a concensus of opirion that the preference would not only | greatl% increase importation from Great Britain but would neutralize to the consumer, the effect ot the recent advance in staple sines. One leading dry goods man states the situation concisely when he declared that but for the reduction there would be aconâ€" siderable increase in the cost of leadâ€" ing staples, and some lines would ,)robably not be imported at all but or the reduction in the tariff. ‘ Home Industries Will Not Suffer. _ Momzvcr he did not believe that the Canadian mme::ren v:lcre boinign w mex & eman riu is an ardent .gcudve,â€" fact it was at the present exceedâ€" d?ph»mq of the Slaring that in spite O the largs im in roarlng delivery of Canadian woolmuyellu__e:t’wuhl been woollens as well as cottons has been extreme, and as evidence ot this the fact that certain lines ved from the travellers‘ AFFARS N ONAW.
