It first, turned traitor to its party and now turned traitor to its country and its Queen. Some short time since an Empire Re- porter was dispatched to Washington to watch the proceeings of the 3fail and .virile there discovered an unholy plot. The MAIL was furnishing false figures and other unreliable mat ter to the senate committee ofthat country for the purpose of furthering the annexation scheme which it (the Mait) has been Conducting for some time. The flail is a vile, treacherous and quibbling sheet and should not be read by any Loyal Patriotic Canadian. A "WIIOFPE1?. "The opposition victories in St. John were dile to the Government's refusal to promise an extravagant subsidy to a dock scheme;" etc. So says the Toronto Globe. It is evi- dent that the Globe takes it for grant- ed trait its readers are absolutely ig- norant of he situation in St. John dur- ing the late general election campaign. It is a notorious fact that the Provin- cial secretary, who on the day of pol- ling was defeated in the contest, made unlimited promises regarding the Government's intentions to nndertake expenditures, and asked for support for himself individually and for the Government of which he is a member in view of such intentions. Then there was the latter of contractor Leary,writ- ten from New York, in which he asked that the Government candidates be supported on the ground that the work he was about to undertake wouldneces- aitate a large expenditure of money in the city of St. John, and intimating that if the Government candidates were not returned the coutempilated work. might not be prosecuted. The Globe, no doubt, is aware of these facts; but, forthe purpose of deceiving its readers, who are not supposed to know anything. about them, it makes a statement dia- metrically opposed to the truth. .HALDIMAND. Judgment in the appeal of Mr. Col- ter, M. P. for Haldimand, against the decision of Mr. Justice Falconbridge, atnseating him,was to have been given by the Supreme Court last Wednesday, but in the absence of Mr. Justice Strong atsdelivery was postponed until Thurs- day, when the r appeal was dismissed:. with costs. Mr. Colter was first returned to the Rouse of Commons in September, 1886,. upon the death of Mr. David Thompson, a Liberal, 'who represented the constit- uency from 1867r -the first general election after Confederation. As Par 3iamut was dissolved m the January following his election, Mr. Colter had -not the opportunity of taking his seat. At the general election of Febuary, 1887, he was again nominated by the Liberal party, and was opposed by Dr. Montague, who, on a recount of the ballots was declared elected by the County Court Judge by a majority of one vote But as a result of further proceedings an agreement was arrived. at between the two political' parties, Band by consent, the election was de- clared void. A new election took place Noveiuber,1887, when 11r.Colter and Dr. Montague tried their strength in a political contest. Dr. Montague was elected by a majority of 17. A protest was entered by Mn Colter, and the fin- al result was the unseating of Dr.' Montague, on a technical point, by the Supreme Court of Canada. ` Before the ease was disposed of, however, Dr Mon - segue had sat in the House of Com- mons during the session of 1888 as re- presentative of the constituency.. An- other election took place, in January, 1889, which resulted in Mr. Colter's favor, by a majority of 46. Dr, Mon- tague entered a protest, and at the Conclusion of the trial of the case Mr. Colter was unseated by Mr. Justice Palconbridge, when Mr. Colter appeal- ed to the Supreme Court of Canada -with the result above stated. m longer have any doubt that the ultim- ate aim of the advocates of Commercial ',inion is to bring about the annexation of Canada to the United, States. "The United States was a great nation; Canada was a small nation, as far as nun)" burs are concerned.

Canada would be assimated—(he did not use the word "annexed," as it might be unpleasant to some people). It, was so written in the book of destiny. The people of Canada were our kith kin,and a. very good assortment to. The highway to assi u1ation (or annexation) was closer commercial re- lations, because where man's treasure was, there we uld be his heart also " We say it is not posssible to misun- derstand the significance of Mr. Butter- worth's statement. He and his friends are desirous of the Commercial Union between the. United States and Canada -for what purposes? First for the com- mercial benefit of the United States, in- cluding liberty for the manufacturers of that country to overrun Canada with their surplus production and thereby crush out the infant industries of this Dominion; and, second for the bringing about of political union—in other words, for the complete wiping out of the Dom- inion and for its absolute absorption by the stronger country,the United States. "Geography and destiny had decreed' thatthe two people should be one," said Mr. Butterworth. "Nothing but a par- simonious statemanship." he continued, "would enable them to continue as two countries;" and to remove all possible doubt regarding his meaning he em- phasized his previously uttered senten- ces by saying: "The highway to assim- ilation is closer commercial relations, because where a man's treasure was, there would his heart be also." Mr. Butterworth, it will have been noticed, used the word "assimilation" rather than "annexation." Why? "Because," he told the Ways and Means Commit- the, "it might be unpleasant to some people." meaning, of course, the people of Canada. Mr. Butterworth's excuse for not using the honest word "annex- ation," which he confessed be meant, is very much on a par with Mr. Wigan's. reason for not becoming • a citizen of the United States, which that gentle- man -recently said during the sittings in New York of the Senate's Committee 'on trade relations with Canada, was, that by being able to say that he was a British subject, he would be in a bet- ter position to influence the people of Canada in favor of Commercial Union. After the recent utterances of Mr. But- terworth and his fellowworkera'_in the cause of promoting Commercial Union between the two countries,the people of Canada should have no difficulty at arriving at a -conclusion regarding the main object they have in view. They have declared,time and again, that the absorption of Canada into the Union another way of saying` annexing Can- ada—was the ultimate destiny of this country, and now Mr. Butterworth has come out fiat -footed and made the state- ment that "the highway to assimilation (or annexation) is closer commercial re- lations." Will the Commercial °Union- ists and the Unrestricted Reciproeityists of Canada be good enough to make a note of this fact, and no longer attempt to practise deception upon the people of the:Dominion by telling them that the noble -hearted, disinterested states- men and others who in the United Stat- es are championing the cause of unre- stricted trade between the two countr- ies, never dream of political union never contend that absolute- freedom of trade would tendin the direction of promoting annexation. Within the last few months Canadians have had their eyes opened to the true intentand meaning' of Commercial` Union propag- andism. The deliberate statements of its advocates on occasions when they could not afford to indulge in clap -trap and buncombe makes it impossible to misunderstand the object they have in view. What, then,is the proper course for the Parliament of Canada, which represents the sentiinents of the people, to adopt? To go on its knees and cring ingly implore the United States Con gress to concede complete free trade be- tween the two countries? to create the the impression among the politicans of that country that unless such a policy be adopted Canada cannot get along commercially and must ultimately go headlong, to destruction? 'This is what the Liberal • party is doing, although during the last year its leaders were in office they denounced cringing to the United States; they deprecated t311ing ne Americans that Canada could not prosper without reciprocity; and they declared that the true'poliey for- air ada te'adopt was to work out her own A. _.
