To keep the timber limits of the Province,
from being put under licence the Convention
proposes .that no sales shall be made except
by consent of the Legislature for the quantity
of the sales made, but the sale itselris made
by tbe Executive, The new provision would
simply reduce the prices obtained,-, by making
it impossible for the Commissioner; of Crown
Lands to fake advantage of a briskdemand.
The Censervxtii•es " promise to give the
franchise to mechanics' sons, and they, -.are -
going to make some indefinite reform with
regard to eeheols'and school hooka, and thus
endeth the chapter. what' was tbe' use of
the convention ? Many a man who went up
to Toronto -Will wonder why he ,was put to
expense and. loss of time.
THE TORONTO l;.QNYENTION.
Sir John -Macdonald loves a bit of the-
atrical display and -knows -when_to :choose
his time for making it. He, therefore,
—.selected—eathibition—week for holding' a
convention of his followers at Toronto.
He knew a great many people, who would
then be at the provincial capital, would
like to see him and hear himspeak, and.
that his touters would be able to bring; in
-a large outside contingent of visitors to.
give eclat to the occasion,' That they were
successful in point of numbers, we are not
going, to deny. Of course, as Sir John
was the chief attraction, his speech `would_
be supposed to be the most important, but.
what did it contain?—literally .•nothing
new. It was merely a rehash of what has;,
long been exploded, with the inevitable
stale joke and threadbare anecdote: It is
scanewba-t—remarkable tha1t this effort,
which we must believe had been carefully
thought over and pre -arranged, should
exhibit throughout the characteristics of
a labored defence. As apiece of special
pleading to mislead the people of Ontario_
it was not without cleverness, but it was
timid and occasionally supplicatory, al --
though here and there the disregard for,
truth and love of exaggeration Which dis-
tinguishes all his utterances, gave an ap-
pearance of cockey assurance very amus-
ing,
musing, if not particularly edifying.
The question ma.y arise; -Why. was this
convention held? the answer isnot' far
to seek: Simply because the,adnlinistra-
tion of Mr. Mowat refuses to allow Onta-

Returns made by correspondents; based

duce of fall wheat in the Province is 32,-

; of barley, 23,546,059 bushels;
of oats, 52,997,1.69•. bushels.; and of peas,

the estimates made on the 1st of June, es-
pecially the figures .of wheat and oats.
More -accurate data, however will "be fur-
rio to be robbed at the dictation of Mr.
Mousseau,'1,aisd the Quebec faction. The
excuse put forward that the N. -P is in
danger, because a Liberal government
rules Ontario, is the thinnest, of moon
shine. This everlasting trotting out of,
the N. P. elephant has become about the
stalest of party shibboleths. It deceives
nobody, and will ha _e li_ttl effect_in_
1883 as it had. in 1879. As a cry in pro--
•
vincial politics it is played out.
Of course a kind of platform must be
formulated,and a certain position -taken'
on different provincial questions, a'nd'after
referring to the disallowance of the Rivers
and Streams Bill, the admission is,.made
that the Provincial Legistature has the
right to make laws on subjects of •Pio
vincial concern, but the inteference'ofthe
Dominion Government with this particu-
lar law is defended on the plea that the
law was an unjust one, in that it took'
away property private andapplied it to
1 p Y
public uses without making adequate corn-
pensation to the owner.
The new platform is not \ er.y definite
upon the boundary question, for Sir John
has assumed so many contradictory posi
tions o'n this question that he finds it hard
to tell where he stands.. He has return.
mewed arbit:ttion, sulniaissron ,to this and
that court. Imperial legislation," and
anything that would delay a settlement.
The platform' calls for some mode of sells: -
tion that would be satisfactory to the
whole Dominion, ,There again comes in
the truckling to Quebec: Ontario_ demands:
her rights—no more, no . less—and what
concern is it of her's whether Quebec is
satisfied or dissatisfied?, Quebec never.
has been satisfied since the union in 1841,,
and Ontario has spent too. much. money
and other valuable Property already "try-
ing to satisfy her insatiable and -clamor
ous neighbor. The time has conic for
Ontario to take care of her own interests,
and that Mr. Mowat ,proposes she shall,
do, in spite of Meredith's anxiety to oblige
Mousseau. •
The Ontario Government is charged
withhaving opposed. the National Po
licy, .which is said .in, the resolution to
have been twice approved. at . the polls,
and to •have amply fulfilled its prourise.-
• Yes, the N. P. was formally approved
at the polls, thanks_to the able-bodied,
gerrymander, the energetic .reterning-ofii
cers and a system of brihery with private.
and public funds that went a long way to.
defeat the honest expression of public
opinion. The N. P. has not promoted
union or friendly feeling between the Pro-
vinces. The Bluenoses do not like us any
better that they have to pay an "extra -50
cents per barrel on their flour;' we in
- Ontatier do -not love-the.Nova-Scot'ia'zra'for
the coal tax they have given.us, and: the
hardy settler in Manitoba is not overjoy-
fun when he is taxed on his plough, his;
horse and hie reaper.;for the alleged bene-
fit of the Qoa,rio_ man . who supplies his
necessities. The Ontario Legislature has
nothin to do with. tari'`and m n who

The Conservative Convention was -great-

solved that liquor licenses ought to be grant-
