Question will be a' good subject for
those wlto are itching fur an opportun-
ity to put in a good word for `the
arGoverrrrnent,
The Franchise Act has been amend

tures, viz : Ontario, Prince Edward
Island and• British Coluinbia. This
was voted down, only one supporter of
the Government voting with the
Liberals, many however ex, lressing
regret privately that the Government
whipped its followers so unmercifully
into line. Now manhood suffrage is a
C1onservative policy in Ontario. The
leader cf their party in the Local
Legislature urged .upon Mr Mowat the
al,rsolute necessity of granting Man-
hood Suffrage some time before he
was pleased to comply. The Conser-
vatives in Otts.wa refuse to grant this
measure of justice to the people of
Ontario. This principle is even more
applicable to dominion matters than
to provincial. Young men can justly
claim to have a voice to elect members'
foll,the House of Commons as they are
contributors to the national revenue.
The Dominion Government has the
disposal of the domain, which is the
inheritance of our young men, there -
fere they have a right to have a voice
in its proper disposal. •Here is an
xample: Honore Robilard, M. P.
' for the city of Ottawa, who is a very
ardent Conservative, bought from the'
Go1lernmeiit last fall, the timber of;
on of the Indian reserves, for $316.'
He Wel his right to that timber this.

stance out of many that might be
given to show how the public domain
iiia disposed of to friends and supporters
,'ot the Government. In this way :the
inheritance of the young men is tdis-
posed of without there being allowed a
a, voice in terThisld be
an intestinahe subjmattect for our critics to
kciebate upon.
Hon. G. E. Foster brought before
the House the intentions of the
'Government to grant subsidies to
team Ship Lines, to ply between
alifax, Great Britain and a French'
ort, from British. Columbia to Aus-
ral`a and .from Vancouver to China:
rt Japan. This will involve an
extra expenditure of $500,000 per
annum. The object is to extend trade
do Australia, China and Japan. The
outlook is not very ,promising. The
1adian export to China and Japan,
1878 was $102,568 worth and'
though the facilities have been for
t:ie last few years much greater than
i> 1878 and ,although the C. P. R.
&.earners have been plying between
lritish Columbia, China and Japan
fir the last three years our export
l'ade in 1888 was only ,•$132,448. -
'I his is only an increase in tan years

poses to enter into an engagement•

that line. l� or this service the Gov.
erument proposed to give $125,000
annually, This arrangement will give
futilities to ship the surplus mann-
faecutes to these countries to a limited
extent but furnishes no markets for
the farmers who have to pay the
most of the subsidies:
The Canadian cotton niaunfactnr.:
ers shipped last summer a cargo of
cotton co China and sold it there in
competition with English cottons at a
much less price than they sell it in
Canada. This was dobe to clear the
Canadian market of its surplus stock.
The cotton manufacturers then oom-
hined and put up the price of cotton
to the Canadian consumers 15%.
This was done to make up from the
Canadian consumer, for want of profit
on export cotton. This fact would
wake another good subject for Con-
servative critics,
NO as these .steamboat lines pro.
posed to be subsidised at the expense
largely, of the Canadian consumers
of manufactures for the .purpose of
facilitating the export of the surplus
production and thus enable the maim -
re.

Canadian consumer, it is unfair and
unjust -to ask the people of this country
to assume a double burden of increas-
ed prices and increased taxes to
benefit the manufacturers of certain
commodities and lines of trade. As
these steam boat subventions will not
open up any additional market for the
fanners, it is unfair to.burclen them
to benefit those who are now combin-
ing against their interests.
The farmers, laborers and mechan-
ics and many ;other classes of the
country will •eonolude, irrespective of
politics, or parties, that their interests
are opposed to such a system of sub-
sidising All. that the trade of this
country regiiires, in the hands of the
intelligent people of this country, is to
be left Beverly alone by the govern-
ment, A fair field and no favor is all
the progressive and -intelligent Cana-
dians require.
With this advantage they will hold
their own :against any nation of the
world.
With a revival of trade restrictions
the"'•infant" swaddling 'clothes would
be laid aside and Canadians would
become men who would be able to
compete with the world in the home
as well as in all the *neutral markets.
Canadians are libeled by those who
say they cannot compete in their
home or foreign markets with the U
S., and it is disloyal as well as unpin
tri'otic on their part to entertain such
an opinion of the Canadian people.
