FRIDAY, MAY•0,1884. RESIGNATION OR SIR CHAS. TIPPER To those who have any respect for the honor of the country, and for themselves, the mere mention of the name of Sir C. Tupper, and his actions and coarse, are repugnant, because almost everything that he has had any connection with• has been dealt with in such a corrupt manner that he has made himself only an object for loathing ; but on this occasion the fact that he is about to take his departure from .the country relieves the Mind of the odium. The Ottawa Citizen of the 6th inst. announces officially that he has retired from the cabinet, and will also re- sign his seat for Cumberland, and sails . or England, as Canadian High Commis- sioner, on the 24th inst. " , Could anything, politically, have been more disgraceful to the individuals eon- neeted with it, and dishonoring to the country, than the whole matter relating - to the appointment of Tupper to the High Colmnissionership, and his sitting in Parliament in violation ofthe 'act, and, then getting a bill of indemnity passed to shield him from the just penalties? and now that he has got everything ,nicely fixed for his own comfort and support, at the expense of the taxpayers. of _Canada, he gets out of the way of retribution. It is to be hoped he now takes'a perpet-, nal leave of parliament, and that we shall not witness a re-enactment of the white- • washing scene of last session. ••er • - TIIEMsELVES To BLAME A FARMER, in a letter to the Globe, • complains bitterly of the Material condi- tion and prospects of himself and- the agricultural class generally, asserting that it is with the greatest diflieulty that they.

There is hopes of improvement when people feel and show that they are.suffer- ing from something wrong, as it is mani- fest that they are exercising' their intelli gence. This is just what we want every litrnter to do -look into the matter—niak.e an investigation,: and. see what earl be' done to make their condition more pros- perous. The means of extracting money front the community, in consequence of the High tariff, are'so numerous, besides the duties .imposed upon importations, that they cannot be set forth' in a nets- paper article, all are taxed more less ihrougli railroad freights, and in this Angle item there has been :In increase of fully 25 per cent., made necessary by the duty on coal arid other railway requisites:' As farmers, directly and indirectly, em- ploy the railway most, they must pay the greatest share. y If farmers had exercised a -little thought they would not have been .caught in such a palpable fraud as fheN. r:, as all their products are governed by foreign markets.. • 1 f there had been no change in the tariff the position of the farmer would have been as good, if not better, than any other interest in the country.
