Between 1$79 awl 1/482 the Colt

of the country, and on the specs
plea that millions of British capi
were waiting for investment in (ana'
but would not lee invested until
least five continuous years of the
P. were guaranteed, a premature ell
tion was sprung uponthe people, fail
a year ahead of the constitution
dihsolution of the House.
That was not all. The fahricato
of the falsehood about "the millions
British capital that wanted inves
merit" were afraid the people wou
not bite at the bait if left to the
selves, but would renounce the herh+s
of 1878, and so the famous gerrya
der hill of 188.2 was rushed throug
the House, and by it Nie "(Grits we
hived" to use the language of the th
Premier areal the popular voice
Canada was smothered for the ti
being. After the °election was ove
the. fiction, about the British capita
awaiting investment was discredit%
an effort was made by the party i
power to gloss over the gerrymande
iniquity : and far and near Tory nres-
papers and orators shouted hoeannal
to the great N. P.. which, they laid
after a trial of three years had bee
sustained.
Between Ira_' and I$' 7 the i
effects of the N. P. in the matter o
developing Clthaeda awl Canadian in
dustries were, if possible more marked
The country was waking little or n
progress, and many manufacturing e
terprices which had prospered uncle
the old revenue tariff were encounter
trig heavy sailing to weather the corn
m.•rcial sterna, whilst others h
foundered completely. The fico
about the British millions for invest
sent was as dead as JULIUs Cits.t
Anel even Turns, the "G
Stretcher,' dared not revive it ; the ini
quity of the gerrymander had bee
counterbalano d to some extent by th
education in Free Trade and Liberal
ism of the intervening years ; and an
other means of tying the hands of the
electors had to be resorted to. The
aid of the Franchise Act was invoked
to tide over the election of 1887, and
the partisan returning officer and the
skilled voters' list. were resorted to.
When the: election of ige7 had been
fought and won by the Conservatives,
an effort was again made to min;reline
the retests which had been employed
to accomplish that end, and instead of
the stuffed list and partizan returning
officer being acvorded the praise of
having saved the Government a
right which was theirs to a great ex-
tent --the whole credit of the success
of the election was once more given to
the wonderful staying powers of the
N.P.
Then came the election of 1891.
At every seitbion of the House during
the yawn that had elapsed since 11'487,
the Liberals had endeavored to have
the Franchise Act either wiped out
altogether, or so amended that the op-
position candidates would hate as
good a chance of getting fair play as
their Government opponents had, but
without avail. To aid the fraudulent
Franchise Act the cry of disloyalty
was raised, and backed by a state-
ment that an earnest effort was to he
made to procure a reciprocity treaty
with the United :(tater', an appeal was
once more made to the people, and
the country was again carried by the
Conservatives.
The N.P. had no more to do with
the general elections of 1 891 than the
Man in flet. Moon, and yet there are
fool newspapers like The Toronto
Worldand The Empire, and politi
chane like Farris and MArt.EAN who
still pin their faith on the decayed
wreck of a miserably abortive effort to
legislate a country into prosperity by
burdening it with terra.

Mstarday I. Rea J4a1s1111AH
Rune, tsessetary of the Agrieeltural MOT DISCUSSION ON THE ANNEXA -
Depart meet of the United States,
Scheduled 0.aadiaa sande entering
that country, and in his proclamation
declared that N Britain bad pro-
nounced Canadian cattle to be infect-
ed by disease, the importation of ani-
mals from Canada to the United
States, oouki not deet be injurious to
the herd. of the latter country.
The action of the Awericap Secre-
tary of Agnt•ulture prohthits the
shipment of cattle from Canada a4 the
States, except by way of Buffalo, .tt
which port they will have to undergo
a quarantine of 90 days. This stipu-
lation will practically prohibit the
shipment of cattle froth Canada, and
will thus hit our farmers a severe
blow.
True, Inst year the shipment of
Canadian cattle to the United States
was on the light side, the bulk of the
export going to Britain, which was
then wide open for the trade , but
with the scheduling of Canadian cattle
in Britain, the American market at
once assumed other proportions. The
scheduling by the States will thus be
of greater injury to the farmers of
Canada than would be the case had
they an open British market.
The Government of the United
State* is, however, within its powers
when it schedules Oanadian cattle,
for ever since our trade assumed pro-
portions with Britain Canaria has en-
forced strict quarantine regulations
against animals: mining from acroso
the bonder.
It is time the fences between Cana-
da and the United States were all
taken down, and tine commercial strife
between the two atantries ended.
"IMAM MIA Me."
When Sir .!oust TBoursom turned
the tilde of Amoy Isineaet's eloquence
on a memorable occasion with the
phrase, "That will do," he put in cir-
culation an sentence that would be
long remembered in connection with
the subeer. iency of the "working man's
candidate from Elgin," and as long
as ANDY stay, overground the ex-
pression will appear in judgment
against him.
in like manner Hon. G. E. Fosraa,
when he said in the Tory caucus at
Ottawa last week, e. Vote down all
amendments against the tariff," gave
publicity to another memorable ex-
pression which will rise up in judg-
ment against him and those who stand
by hien in the time to come.
At election times we often hear
candidates state that if elected they
.a conscientiously advocate the in-
terest. of their constituents, apart
from party exigency or personal feel-
ing, but hereafter such statements
will be largely discounted in view of
the fact that at any time a FUSTSR
may feel disposed to .ay, " Vote
down all amendment. against the
tariff," or a Teottreow may cut short
a powerful oration by simply saying,
" That will do."
