As one man Hood‘s said: " You nevermnow you fhave takene pill till it is all The Quebec Conterence. , The proceedings of the Joint Com. mission in Qnebec continue to be guarded and practically nothiné of an absolutely authentic character has as yet been made public. Still with so many newspaper correspondents on the spot, and so many deputations and representative men in attendance, a certain amount of fairly reliable intorâ€" mation must leak out, and the net reâ€" sult of this week‘s rumors may be conâ€" sidered entirely satisfactory. "The corâ€" respondent of one New York paper has gone so far as to anncunce the course‘ decided upon in every one of the duzen or more important questions on the aâ€" ; genda, concluding with the gratifying but somewhat startling announcement. that a general treaty has been drafted aud in fact everything is practically over but the shouting. This, of course is an impossibility ; if the Commissionâ€" ers arrive within measurable distance ot this universally desired goal by Christmas time they will have done admirably well. But making allowâ€" ances for all exaggerations there seems excellent reason to accept the general correctness of the assertion . that the negotiations are progressing with reaâ€" sonable celerity and without serious hitch, in spite of the persistent endeayâ€" ors of a section of the puvlic press to discredit the Conference, endeavors which under the cireumstances can only be stigmatized as utterly disreputâ€" able.

What are the protectionist drgans trying to get as any way, in ‘thieir conâ€" stant deprecatory reference to the fact that Canada‘s trade with the United States is steadily increasing2., That‘s just as it should be. ‘The purpose of the reforms in the Liberal tarmit was rot to close any avenue of trade; a cardinal principle, in eyery Liberal trade policy is that the fewer grtificial restrictions the better, that srade should be left as absolutely untrammelled as possible, and allowed to find its own natural outlet. That is t'he p::inciple possible, and allowed to find its own | _ natural outlet. That is the principle | ® upon which G. eat Britain has risen to|b such universally recognized supremacy | H in the commercial world and had held her own against all kinds of artificial barriers up to the presont day, enjoyâ€" ing new an era «f unexampled prosâ€"| «] perity. Such is the pelicy to which|, the Liberal party is striving and if one of the earliest outcomes of the partial modifications already in force has been | to develop one section of the market it | c has only done that which was expect: | ed. It by further removing the barriâ€" ers the condition of Canada‘s trade can be yet more improvedithe Government |! wili doubtless be prepared to go on | : with the work, and the country will | 1 sustain them. If however our neighâ€" bors to the South should show by their demeanor that they still la bor under the ‘ delusion that we cannot do without !â€" their trade no matter what the price, |‘ all that remains for us is to go our own way as in the Yast, until the work cf}, education is a little turther advanced, and the Republic as a whole thoroughâ€" | ly understands that which it is realizâ€" ing more every day, that Canada is its commercial equal, and as one of its best customers is to be sought after and propitiated , and that there is no section ot the community prepared to surrend: er its birthright for a mess of pottage | or anything else. | A great outery has been made in A , section of the press during the last\ couple of weeks on account of the disâ€" | erimination enforced by Germany A:â€" gainst Canadian wheat, as an olutcome | of the denunciation by Great Britain of | the German and Belgian treaties at the | instigation of the Canadian Governâ€". . | ment.

OUR OTTAWA LETTER. The lact aEpeam to be entirely overâ€" looked that the action of the Imperial suthorities in this matter was received with loud acclaims and every indica, tion of approval at the time it occurred.
