THE TARIFF QUESTION.
The Boston Herald has been reading
the anti-Cartwrightean evidence offer-
ed to the Tarriff Commissioners in. To
ronto, and finds something amusing in
the fact that it is American competition
-which the Canadian manufacturer fears
while it is European competition which
the American manufacturer dreads.
This, so far as it is true, does not appear
to wear the garb of a witticism or even
of au economie adsurdity, but rather of
a plain statement of a quite natural
state of things. Yet the Boston Her-
ald somehow sees in the statement of it
a refutation of the:entire. Protectionist
contention. It would like the evidence
given to our commissioners printed ver
batim and "generally circulated
throughout the United States" in order
that the tariff makers of Congress could
be brought to "realize how completely
the assertions of Canadian farmers,
tradesmen and manufacturers neutral
ize the statements that have been made
or will be made before their committee
by farmers, traders and manufacturers
living on the American side of the Can-
adian border line." Summing up the
situation, it says: "In a word, the Am-
erican producer is the bete noir of the
Canadian producer, just as the English
manufacturer and his alleged pauper -
paid employees are converted into a
popular bogis by the American manu-
facturer,"
The "most ridiculous circumstance,"
however to the mind of the Herald, is
the probability that when the Ameri-
cans come to revise their tariff, Ameri-
can farmers and manufacturers will as-
sert that they need protection against
Canadian producers. Again, it is dif-
ficult to catch the wit. Neither people
wants to become the slaughter market
of its rival; and both peoples produce
articles which, if admitted by the other
free of duty, would enter injuriously
into competition with the native pro-
duct.
But there is this to be said for the
Herald's position—tariffs partake of the
character of war measures; and if the
Herald can pursnade Congress to lower
its already high tariff instead of rais-
ing it still further, the natural result
will be to mitigate the severity of the
Protection we find it necessary to main-
tain. It will remember that the lower-
ing of the sugar duties in the United
States was followed by a similar cut
in the same duties here; and that the
tariff reform victory of the Democrats
in '92 was accompanied by a tariff re•
form agitation in C ?nada, Unhappily
both of these latter movements were
worked out in an abortive matter; but
nevertheless, another McKinley tariff is
not the way to get tariff concessions
from Canada, even if the Liberals are
in power.
PROHIBITION.
Mr, Laurier definately promised to
have a plebiscite on the question and if
the result justified it, to introduce to-
tal prohibition into the whole of Canada.
All the aggressive temperance organiz-
ations in Canada are making prepara-
tions for such a vote on the conviction
that at the approaching session of Par-
liament an act will be passed for tak-
ing the plebiscite. On such a question
as this, many good men will oppose each
other. It will be a bitter struggle, and
from former experience the bitterness
will not end with the struggle. On
questions of morals few men agree.
Many good and sincere people believe
that the liquor traffic is so gigantic and
evil that it should be suppressed at all
hazards. Many others equally as good
and sincere, firmly believe that person-
al liberty is the most sacred right of all
citizens, that loss of personal liberty
with all the strife and immorality of
enforcing an obnoxious law on a min-
ority is a much greater evil than the
drink traffic. Between those two set of
opinions, there is irreconcilible conflict.
Both are equally sincere in upholding
what each believe to be for the gener-
al welfare. Of course there is always
a great deal of vituperation on both
sides that would be much better left
out. Calling names will not serye as
arguments, and on entering into this
contest we would, as journalists, beg
both sides to be calm, dignified and fair,
Let thearguments be as keen as possible
but fair and gentlemanly with all. In
anything we shall have in future to
say on this question, we shall endeavor
to follow the lines just laid down. Our
columns will be open to all dignified
discussion allowed by our space. Our
position as journalists will be duly de-
fined when the question assumes public
interest.
AUSTRALIAN METHODISM.
Australasia appears to have learned
the lesson of unity from Canada. Not
only is political union iu the air, but
the four Methodist bodies of the island
contineutt are now nearing the con•
summation of a union like to that which
the Methodists of Canada accomplished
in 1883, They are now yoting on the
project. In New South Wales and
Queensland members and adherents are
permitted to vote; in South Australia
and West Australia the vote is con•
fined to members of all ages; in Vic.
toric and Tasmania the votes of mem-
bers above the age of 21 years are
alone being taken. A recent English
paper contains the result of the voting
in the last two colonies:
For. Against
Wesleyan 9'+96 " 2472
Primitive Methodist 2760 " 258
Bible Christian 2034 ' 72
United Methodist Free Church 1160 " 88
Total 15989 2688
It is expected that the union idea
will carry in the other colonies, when
a strong Australian Methodist church
will replace the four separated bodies
now in existence. If union proves to
bring such an impetus of prosperity to
the Australian Methodists as it has to
the Canadian body, the Antipodeans are
to be congratulated. Up to the meet-
ing of the last general conference in
1894 the membership of the Canadian
church had increased from 169,803 at
the time of the union hi 1883 to 266,921
and the number of ministers and "pro
bationers" had grown from 1663 to
1896.
THE PROTECTION SENTIMENT.
The meeting held in London, Eng.
land, last week by members of the
British Parliament and others is a
significant sign of the times. The
doctrines of Richard Cobden have
for so many years been bard and im•
hued into the British mind, was so
universally accepted as the finale of all
political wisdom, that any public man
who questioned those doctrines was at
once branded as a heretic and apostate
and unworthy of confidence. Now, we
find prominent members of the House
of Commons not only disputing the
utility ofg free trade, but vigorously
assailing it.
The British farmer has nearly been
driven out of existence by free trade
competition. And theBritish farmer is
making a despairing cry against ex-
tinction. And politicians take up that
cry and found protection clubs all over
England, It may take years of agita-
tion to convince Britain that protec-
tion is necessary, or good for Britain,
but the outlook at present is that such
an agitation has been started in earnest.
Should the protection sentiment spread
rapidly in England it might sooner
pave the way for colonial perferental
trade. Of course it would be a serious
thing for Canada if Britain were to
adopt protection on food and stock
against all the world —Canada included'
We would be in a much better position
with some reasonable form of Imperial
Federation or preferential trade.
THE ONTARIO FARMERS.
The last report of the Ontario Bureau
of Industries shows that the lessening
of the value of farm lands which began
in this province some years ago, still
continues. The total value of farm
land in Ontario was put at•$954,793,000
in 1883, but had sunk to $602,664,000
by 1893. The next year saw it decline
by fifteen millions more, while 1895
carried it down to $572,938,000, The
value of farm buildings on the other
hand, has increased, springing from
$163,080,000 in 1883 to $200,189,000 in
1893 and $204,148,000 in1895. Both farm
wages and farm rentals have also fallen,
and apparently are still declining. This
is the inevitable result of the fall in the
price of wheat which, in turn, was
caused by the bringing of new wheat
districts into competition. Yet whether
the present lift to wheat will be par-
tially permanent or wholly temporary,
a great industry like that of farming
will not continue on an unprofitable
basis. And it is our business in Canada.
whose hope it is, to do what may be
done to promptly improve the condition
of our own farmers.
MANITOBA SHOOLS.
While Archbishop Langevin and
assembled Catholics in Manitoba and
many French Catholic papers are bitter
ly assailing the details of the settle.
ment, we find that the freeman of
Kingston, the supposed mouthpiece of
Archbishop Cleary condemns the cow
tinued agitation as madness.
The full extent of the opposition to
the settlement cannot be known till the
meeting of the Federal and the Mani-
toba Parliaments, Meantime J. Israel
Tarte, M. P,, and a parish priest of Corn-
wall, where an election is in progress,
are firing hot shot at each other and
the former has challenged the latter to
debate the setttlement on the public.
platform,
swesenimum
elle Alex. McNeil's election in North
Bruce has beeu confirmed after a
searching trial. Thus one of the ablest
of Canada Parliamentarians retains
the seat he is so well fitted to occupy.
i.1r, McNeil had a hard contest. An
anti remedialist, he went to his con-
stituency to find himself opposed in
the election by another anti -remedial_
ist, After he bad won his right to stt
iu parliament he was attacked by the
Liberals. Mr. McNeil met his oppon-
ents openly and fairly, and well de-
serves his double victory
And still the tale goes on before the
tariff commissioner—only a voice- or
two has been raised in favor of the old
free trade cry. It is simply astonish-
ing that all the free trade sentiment in
the country should have been blasted
after the late election contest. It is so
monotonous that Cartwright ie getting
used to it and Mowat goes to sleep.

A Much Congratulated Paper
The Montreal 'Witness,' this being its
jubilee year, has been printing ever
since last December a weekly page of
the reminiscences of its early readers
who still survive, many of which have
been of fascinating interest, and all of
which have been full of eager and
hearty good will for the paper which
has been to the writers of life long
counsellor and family friend. Here is
one of the briefest and most practical
of these contributions,

bed of her father, Mr. William Powell,
of Victoria, Etritish Columbia, formerly
of Belleville, having left here on a sum-
mons by telegram on Wednesday last. It

The Rev. Wm. Bird died at bis resi-
dence, College Bill, at four o'clook

Churoh, and preached for many years,
filling stations in this and surrounding

RESIGNED HIS CLAIM.
North Ontario Election Declared Void—
Both Candidates Willing.
Cannington, Deo. 15.—A year ago en
Saturday Major John A. McGillivray
was first elected to Parliament for the
constituency of North Ontarie. .At the
general election on 23rd of June he was
chosen a second time as representative
for the riding by a majority of one. Mon-
day morning Major MoGilivray, in the
presence of Hon, Justices Fergueon sad
Robertson, formallIy resigned Ms claim
to the seat on acoonnt of certain ap-
parent irregularities in the balloting
last June,and as his opponent, Mr. Dun-
can Graham, made a similar disclaimer,
the election was declared void. Major
McGillivray refused to admit corrupt
praotices, either by himself or agents,
but solely on account of the irregulari-
ties alluded to formally notified the
petitioner that he would not further
object to the petition. The petitioner,
Mr. Duncan, haying withdrawn the
claim he had first set up, nothing was
left for the judges but to declare the
election void. This they did, and they
will report the facts to the Speaker. The
proceedings aro almost without prece-
dent, this being practically the first elec-
tion that has been voided solely through
irregular ballots and without the slight-
est evidence of bribery or corruption be-
ing adduced.
In his petition, Mr. Graham, the Lib-
eral candidate, alleged ballet -stuffing and
bribery by agents of the respondent as
reasons why the election should be upset.
On the other hand Major McGillivray,
in a counter -petition, preferred chargee
of personal bribery against his opponent.
Kleptomania for the Rich.
Now York, Dec. 15.—When an elderly
well-dressed woman, accused of shop-
lifting, was arraigned in Jefferson Mar-
ket Police Court yesterday, the superin-
tendent of the store which she had been
arrested in declined to make a charge
against her. He explained that she was
the wife of a very prominent man, who
informed him that she was a klepto-
maniac. Besides, restitution had bean
made. "Kleptomania," exclaimed Magis-
trate Kudlioh. "Kleptomania? Oh. I see;
when a thief is wealthy it is a case of
kleptomania. Ah, if this was some poor
woman, whose cheeks were paled from
hunger, holding in her arms a poor little
half-starved babe, should dare to venture
into your store, and, suffering from the
torture of the thought that now, in the
present -giving time, her innocent little
lamb must be denied the trifles that
brighten a child's life, should take some-
thing from one of your counters,no mat-
ter how valuoless,she would be a thief.
and you would be the most zealous in
prosecuting her. Kleptomania for the
rich, stealing for the poor—such is the
distinction." The woman was discharged.
Halifax City's Narrow Escape.
Halifax, N. S., Dec. 15—The Furness
Line steamer Halifax City, whloh ar-
rived here this morning from London,
had a narrow esoape from serious dis-
aster lasttFriday in latitude 46. 48 north,
longitude 48 west. A heavy anowssorm
had prevailed, but for a short time the
weather cleared, and it was suddenly
discovered that there was an enormous
Ice -berg direotly ahead of ,the steamer.
Her course bad to be changed as quickly
as possible to avoid a collision. But for
the break in the snowfall ,the Halifax
City would undoubtedly have struck
the huge mass of iee head on.
The Rajah Went Down.
London, Dec; 14.—The German ship
Rajah, Captain Eleanor, from Barry,
Wales, for Hong Kong, has foundered
in the British channel. Two of her crew
have been picked up. Seventeen others,
comprising the remainder of the crew,

handsomely dressed, although nearly
all the clothing may be old material
dyed over.
Diamond Dyes make such lasting
and beautiful colors that goods dyed
with them cannot be told from new.
Any one can use them, as the direc-
tions are so plain .and simple .that no
skill is needed. The colors of Diamond
never grow dim; they neyer fade or
wash out. Iworder to secure the best
advantages in dyeing, 'every woman
should see that her dealer, ' gives her
the " DiamondDyes," as other package
dyes are only poor imitations. -
