SOCIAL & PRESENTATION so gradual that the Tories declared it has not occured at all, the oid N, P. has been stripped of its most objectionâ€" able and hurtful teatures, and in addiâ€" tion to the substantial saving of $13,â€" 000,000 in cold cash as referred to aâ€" bove, the shackles have been to a great extent remoyed from the trade of the country, and thus the Dominion has been enabled to take the greatest pessible advantage of the era of prosâ€" perity which we are now enjoying. The Truth is out. The Tory papers have been amusing themselves and filling in time with searching for predictions of dire disasâ€" ter hidden away in the personnel of the Cabinet and so forth. They may be interested in learning the following party secret which was whispered round in the Tory caueus room shortly before prorogation:â€"â€" Clan Hagg Ben Cl Laurier Government,â€"â€" how has it aidâ€" ed in securing the biggest results in this present era of prosperity ? Notably in the very practical and tangible way uf leaving some $13,000,000 of taxes in the pockets of the people, which would have been taken for public reyenues had the old tariff remained in force. In 1897 the saving was $1,363,000, in 1898, $1,800,000; in 1899, $3,700,000, and last year over $6,000,000. _ The actual difference between taxation for the period of 1878 to 1896 and from 1896 to 1900 is nearly 12%, and if the former period is compared with the year 1900 the difference is 174 per cent. By a process so judiciously adjusted that it has inflicted injury upon no one, and â€" | _ Itis a great mistake to suppose that : Governments have nouthing to do with controlling the seasons and the weathâ€" | er generally. Many of us can rememy} | ber how the good crops which recu | in the early days of the late Tory re | gime were the direct outcome of the so _| called ‘National Policy‘,â€" the Tories | said so themselyes and of course it must haye been so. Now we have it again at the present time in Manitoba, for no sooner did Hugh John MacDonâ€" ald get the royal assent to his prohibiâ€" tion bill than the longâ€"continued drought came to an end, the heavens were opened and there was water in abundance to refresh the thirsty land. By the same token a prohibition measâ€" ’ ure would not be popular just now in this part of Ontario, there has been too ' much water already in this section. |__Joking aside however, the policy pursued by a Government has vastly more to do with the material condition of the country than its opponents will generally admit, and while the politiâ€" | cilans may not have yet discovered how to make the sun shine or to bring ] the rain when it will do the most good | j it is quite possible for them to accomâ€" j plish the achievement which the philâ€" osopher declares is the standard of | ! success in this life namely that of makâ€" | ; ing two blades of grass grow where | j only one grew before. 8 Macl E Ingr A La R Mon T Teke tor Example the working of tariff,â€" the reduced tariff as revised and operated by the Roc Wall Gil Wils Co Gil L Ta Y Bor Me N eill Mo O re D B E O B PROSPERITY AND THE TARI M () H A D OOR OTANA LATR an m iviere ague rane ies lor our n by 11 rt ett rke en vin ce ler Ominous for the Tories.
