It is understood that the reasons whii:h have induced the leo m G ov ern nice t to dissolve Parliament anti go pofom the people, are these: (1.;) To give the Ele,etorate f Ce nada a it UjhiUnity O pronceuu- chile upon the general piney of the present Oo venni t i( 2.) To prepare titQ way for negetiattous with tele au- thorities at Washington coneerning the trade relations between elle two coun- tries; mid then earring into effect a propegition .recently made to the gov- ernment at Ottawa for a renewal of reciprocity; and (8.) To test the views of the Electorate of Catania. on the maintenance of _British connection, and bow far they are ready to endorse the sentiments of those men who have been stumping the country in favor of 'mire stricted reciprocity and annexation! Sueh are the issues to be put square- tbefore the people at the coming elec- tion. While the step taken by the gov- ernment in dissolving the House,is one which betokens full confidence in our people, we cannot but highly commend the policy whichhas led the govern- ment to consult "the well understood wishes, of the people," instead of going to. Washington as representing the vSews- of an almost moribund parlia- ment It was a bold stroke on the part of SIT John MacDonald and his Zolleagues to dissolye parliament at the present juncture, instead of meet- ing at once" for the despatch of busi mess." And while the step pursued is an indication of confidence in the peo- ple, it no less proves the readiness which the Liberal Conservative Gov- ernment has always shewn to consult the best interests of Canada by shaping the policy so as to meet every emerge eney, and to promote and extend in every legitimate consistent with just. fhe to • all classes, both the commercial and agricultural interests of the whole community. While the present gov- ernment, by submitting- their policy to the electorate, has thus expressed its :readiness to conserve the best interests of all classes, they have announced through the Premier of Canada their determination to listen to no proposals -which shall tend to compromise our present national rights or severe the tie which binds us to the mother coun- ter. It is proposed so soon as theelect- Ions are•over, and the government is sustained by a good working majority, to send a delegation to Washington, to wafer with the authorities there in the development of a fiscal policy, which shall be mutually benificial to both countries, and also to settle on amicable terms any national question which might otherwise be regarded as a Meantime all parties are vigorously it work; and while the Liberals are fun ctf doubt and despondency, owing en the want of any fixed policy on which their leaders can unite, never in the history of Canada hasa govern- ment been more hopeful.. of success than :elk that of the present administration. Al :4erserider reports of the most cheering eheracter are mulling the Capital, from the 'Maritime Provinces and from the North West Territory and British Cohnnbia, as to the prospects of a solid phalanx being returned to the .forth - earning Parliament in favor of the. National Policy and the maintenance of British connection. ottclocr.sramanaftemra nriteancense i'll'orersVE REASONS FOR SUS- ZAINING THE MACDONALD 1 During thirteen years of good gov- element Canada has progressed mer- vellously, and ha credit now steeds higher among the nations than at any :previous period f The present government conceiv- aet an a carried out successfully oar •sereat national highway, the C.

Such are the principal issues to be su.bmitted the electorate by Sir John Macdonald's manifesto,with full confidence in the people's intelli- gence to sustain the present :adminis- tration by an increased majority! THE TWO .PLATFORMS. The lines on which the elections on 5th March will be fought, are clear cut and well defined. On the one hand we have Mr. Laurier declaring that the policy of the Opposition is "Unrestrict- ed Reciprocity withthe United States, and freest change of mateiials, manu- factured and unman ufactured ;" and on the other we have the announcement. made by Sir John in Toronto. "The policy we introduced_ in 1878 we are going' to stand by," and the further announcement, that Canada is prepared to negotiate with the United States for a renewal of the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854, with the modifications required by the altered circumstances of the two countries, and for enlarged trade re- lations in other directions. The one is a clear, manly statement that Canada intends to persue her own policy, while courteously wining to negotiate for enlarged trade telations with her neighbor; the other is a traitorous offer to surrender to a foreign nation tee whole trade of our cotntry, and become a mere appendage—amore little thing hanging on bebind—to the big Repub to the South of us, With the issue so plainly defined, can there be any doubt of the result? .We think not. Wemistake the temper of the people of Canada very mneh, if they. are pre- pared to sacrifice: their. commercial in- dependence, with the absolute certain- ty that their political, independence will follow in the near future. plrairixasseretastenstemarnetracese• AN UNBROKEN FRONT.
