TKU'B DAY AUG 20th, 1891,; G.LQSE OFT- ��' S, The closing speech of the Finance Minister, which is now before us lel e poise, was snob. a masterly production. and concerns so trinch the farming eommunity. in Canada that we make no apology for reproducing in our own It ', shows words its more salient points. a lucid acquaintance with. and a mast erly treatment of the whole trade ques- tion, as between us and the United States, The great point sought to be Tirade by the Opposition was that of uur, stricted reciprocity.; and the speeches of the Opposition ,leader and of his more immediate followers aimed at influencing (if impossible) the ne° gotiations that are to take place in October between our government and the Washington authorities. The lion. Mr. Foster dealt at some length with the fallacious arguments of Opposition speakers in regard to the national debt, showing that there was no ap- preciable increase in the indebtedness of Canada; and that while great pub- lic works of importance had been con strutted during twelve years of a suc- cessful administration, the present gov- ernment had actually taken oft $3,500,- 000 from the burdens of the people by admitting sugar, tea, coffee, Sc, free of duty. On the subject of reciprocity treaties between the two countries, it was shown that the Conservative govern- ment has atm vs been in favor of a reciprocal trade with the United States on honorable terms; and lir. Foster re- minded the House that both the Hon. Geo. Brown, and the Hon. Alex, Mc- Kenzie, had expressed strongly their unwillingness to agree to any treaty which would discriminate against the Mother Country. But the American goyernment had all along refused, ev- er since the abolition of the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854, to reuiLw negotiations until a door was opened. by the U. S Secretary of State in connection with the Newfoundland troubles, in which Canadian interests were deeply- con- cerned. The proposal to negotiate trade relations had thus come unsolici- ted from Mr. Blaine and President Harrison; and now it stands for free and full discussion at Washington on the 12th of October. The fad of the Opposition leaders which is going to act as the national panacea for all our alleged °grievances -was unrestricted reciprocity. They have attacked the National Policy, which, as the Hon. Mr. Foster sheaved, had "a triple cord of strength"—which is to be found (1) in the development of our stational re- sources; (2.) in the multiplied means for transport of interprovincial trade; and (3.) in the creation of home Indus tries and home production, resulting in the opening up of a large foreign market for all our commodities and manufactures. Take one illustration in support of this last statement. But for the opening up of the N. W. Terri- tory through our great trans-contiueu tal railway, where would the probable yield this year of 25 million bushels of wheat and grain have come from to feed the hungry population of Europe? Now the great antidote offered by our homeopathic politicians to the Nat Tonal Policy is the undefined fad of un• restricted reciprocity. Stripped of all its disguises and pretensions, it means that all things grown, produced or manufactured in Canada and the U. S. will pass into either country free of duty. It means, moreover, that all foreign goods in oductions and manu- factures imported into either country must be subject to the duties imposed against these foreign countries, Here is where discrimination comes in a- gainst the Mother Country. We have now an increasing profitable trade with Britain and Europe: but unify the tariff as between Canada and the United States, was to make it probib itory, and you,,at once shut out the large and increasing trade we are nosy buildings up With these other countries: Our Canadian tnarket would be Slaughtered to let in the surplus pro. ductions or manufactures o£ 'the S., and we should lose::a .profitable trade With Great Britain and ,'Europe anti other countries as well. The a doption of unrestricted reciprocity would tlius be a one-sided arrange 1Ylc.nt altogether;. Take, for ea:hit 0e, the article of cotton. We do not grow • cotton in Canada, but it is grown in the 1J S. Unrestricted reciprocity would shut up all our cotton mills, and :destroy a re'.taane ativq indtlfltry. SO, with, the article of wool, We have to depend larger' for wool on the import- ed <hrtiole,, When our wool inanufnet- urers take their goods to the American boundary, they are niet by a p ohibii tory duty of 15Q per cent., The same reasoning applies to zz;say other arti- cles. We should lose control of our taritl; and be subject to all:type disad• vantages resultingn from a loss of do- mestic manufactures and a loss of that er'ofitable trade in farm products such 0.5 horses, cheese, poultry, &c,, which we new enjoy with the Mother Count try, Add to all this the loss of rcven-. the which • would necessarily follow from the adoption of unrestricted reef -'i, $tacit`', and how is the deficiency of $18,000,000 to be made up? How in deed, but by direct taxation? Thus we should be driven back to the old, state of things under Grit administrat- ion, when taxation increased to over three million dollars, and when deficits were the order of the day instead of surpluses. No! let our readers weigh well the facts and pause before they give up a certainty for an uncertainty and before they make commmon cause in trade with a country where. there is an overproduction already both in manufactures and in natural products as well, and where the people are heavily burdened with high taxes and nine hundred million dollars of mart. gage indebtedness. tio THE QUEBEC SCANDAL. Among the latest sensations at the Capital,one that has totally eclipsed the. Tarte McGreevy inquiry, is that of the Mercier "boodle grab" now before the Senate Committee of investigation. The evidence already submitted reveals the most astounding developement in re- spect to the mis-appropriation of pub- lic monies granters as a subsidy to ,the Bare de Chaleurs railway in the Prov ince of Quebe:,. It now transpires in evidence that Pacaud, the managing man in politics of Mr. Mercier, leader of the Quebec government, received a sum. of $20,000 as "boodle" out of the subsidy—that but a small portion of the sum voted by the Quebec govern- ment was actually expended on the road—that a letter of credit by said government for $75,000 was discount- ed at the Banque Nationate, to the credit of Mr. C. Langeher, one of Mr. Mercier's particular friends who hand- ed the amount over to C.N. Armstrong of which Pacaud received the $20,000 that another letter of credit for $100, 000 was passed through the Union Bank, out of which last sum no Less than $57.000 went to pay Count Mel tai's private debts—that C. N. Arm strong positively refused to tell or. oath to whom the money was paid, or what became of the balance, and now stands reported to the House for contumacy- that Pacaud. who received the $20,000. and was searched for in vainbythepro per officer has "skipped" to Europe;— such are the latest deyelopements of a case which tarns out to be one of the. most rascally transactions ever Un- earthed in the intersts of the public. The grit member of the Senate—repre- sented by Messrs Power and Scutt have done everything to bark the inquiry by Objecting, protesting, and taking advantage of every legal technicality to shield the leader of Quebec govern- ment from obloquy. But the Senate has stood firm in the determination to sift this matter to the bottom. So far as the investigation has already gone, it appears that otit of $280,000 voted as a subsidy for the road in question, no less than $175,000 have been diyerted for political purposes under sanction of the Quebec govern neat, as above stated. What seems surprising is, that Mr. Mercier, who five or six years ago was in financial dilfciilties, now lives in splendor occupying a palace with a lane retinue; and living at a rate which the salary of leo Provincial Cabi- net official could justify. The people of Canadahave a right to know ; what became of this public money; ilio more. so, as the Dominion government had voted the usual subsidy per mile for the completion of the Bale de Choleras Railway, unles3 Mr Mercier is in.a position tc clear up ,the charges brought by Mr, Barwick, Q. 0,, who is acting as an, independent counsel on behalf of creditors, not only,, will his. political death warrant be `signed but the "purists" -of Ontario and of the Do• minion generally will share the same' fate.

WHAT MAY BE EXPECTED AT THE TORONTO EXHIBITION IN A FEW WEEKS. From all quarters applications for space at the forthcoming great Industrial Fair to bo held at Toronto, front. the 7th -to the 19th of September are being sent in by every mail, It is now an assured fact • that Canada's Great Fair will this fall outrival any of its Predecessors.. Never before were there so many entries -From the United .States, and on no former oct prion has snolli widespread interest been manifested in its success. Not- withstanding the fact that new buildings have been erected. and olcl ones enlarged during the past summer, sufficient entries hero been receiv od to aln. est 1111 them, Ev- en Great Britain is beginning to realize that it pays to bring its manufactures befbre the people of Canada as tttno place ban they be seen by so Many, and several of the leading manufacturers of England havo applied for space .during the past couple or three weeks at—this—Exhibition. The railway and steam - beat companies have this year notified the -association of their intention to give ex- tremely low rates daring` its Pregrass. A new line ofrailway into the grounds will enable exhibitors ofliYe stock on both' the great railways to unload within a few yards "f. the stock shade Itis wonderful the suc- cess that has attended this really great ent- erprise siuca its ineoption fourteen years ago, but it may readily be accounted for by anyone who will take tho trouble to exam- ine the prize list. No less than four-fifths of the many thou- sands of dollars distributed annually go to the farmorand stock raiser, and while no other industry is slighted this greatest one receives the lion's share and justlyso. Thefarming community appreciate this and by their presence At Canada's great gathering every year endorse the action of the Associ- ation. While the farmer visiting the Exhi- bition camlot turn in any direction without seeing something to instruct him, he finds more than that. No pains have boon shared to interest and amuse visitors every minute of the day. Manager Thayer of Boston, a Ulan whose reputation in his particular lino is continental, has this year added hits vast eaperienct in assisting to make the amuse- ments eclipse anything that has ever pre- ceded them. Then again tho scientist, the mechanic and the artist will find in the various departments something of;r,epeciai value to them. When it is remembered that over a quarter of a million people from all parts of Canada and the adjetning States visited the Toronto Fair last year, one can readily form An opinion of its• -gigantic pro- portions and its ltnportonce and value to the country<itt large.
