"The Commercial Union meeting; at De SQUEEZING THE DOMINION' The people of this province will wait, with much interest the course' that Mr Mowat will take in relation to the coming doter -provincial con- ference. No doubt the main object that Mr, Mercier has in view is to troit ou Saturday, was attended by about sc1u cze more money' out of the two thousand people. Mr, Winian'saddress Dominion. Already the various provinces have been paid over $6o 000,000 (sixty millions of dollars) since confederation, a sum which might have been saved to the gener. al exchequer had the cost of local legislation been made to fall ---as it should have done -on Iota: should- ers. But that immense sum is not found to be sufficient to satisfy those who are forever plying at legislation and employ the most .expensive means to keep the game agoing. Instead ot asking the Dominion Government to give them more the perceptive qualities are exceptional."—Ex- province should set about retrench- eter Tines. Why was the meeting one-sided? Why ing their expenditures, so as' to be were the opponente of Commercial Union able to do with less. It is rioter - not there taking part in the proceedings ? ions, for example, that there is no Mitchell Recorder. necessity for the local legislaturesto The meeting at Detroit referred meet oftener than once in two years to above was held some weeks ago a condition of things that has long and was addressed by Messrs.

They both Needless.as is the meetings of these is that Occupied about two hours in its delle ery was a forcible and comprehensive one." -Mitchell Recorder. "The meeting was truly a great oue as far as numbers and oratory were concerned, but it was decidedly one-sided, the oppon- ents of Commercial Union taking no part in the proceedings, On the contrary to what our cotecontends, the speakers left the details of the scheme as hazy as ever. They made it quite clear to their hearers, however, that the tariffs of both countries would be the same, and they would be dictated from Washington, Canadians having no voice in the matter, As regards their orations being comprehensive, we fail to see it, But, of course, the Recorder's spoke tom the same stand point. local parliaments every year, it vastly more needless that the should be composed of two house If the Maritime Provinces, whic are 'almost as much in need of eco omy as is Quebec, were to do awa with the dual houses and. brin down the assembling of the legisla tures to once in two years, a larg economy would be introduce which would. go a long way t square up the financial hiatus tha now exists. But no such plan of meeting existing difficulties h beenproposed. 0 p p sed. The intent, so fa as accounts are be relied upon, i that the Provinces, should join han in hand and compel the Ottawa ad ministration to grant more money t them, so that they may have lot more to spend without the troubl and,unpopulerity of their taxing th people .for it. That is the real ide at the bottom of Mr. Mercier's plan of campaign, which goes by th name ot a provincial conference.. Mr. Mowat has committed himself to the scheme in so far as his pres- ence at the conference can do so. But he would be very unwise if he were to aid Mr. Mercier in jumping on the Ottawa Government for more money. It is true enough that the condition of the finances in Ontario is growing worse and worse every year, and that there is a great, tem- tation on the part of Mr. Mowat to: cover up the annual shortages that have presented themselves in On- tario by levying black -mail on the Dominion Government. At the same time he cannot be unaware that any arrangement of that kind would prove a direct blow to this Province. There will be quite enough for us to do to manage our own affairs without playing at "heads I win tail you lose," with the other Provinces. Every ad- ditional dollar that is extracted. from the Dominion treasury on ac - cont of local aid necessitates the payment of some 6o cents on the part of Ontario to about 4.0 cents as paid by the other provinces -at least sch has been Sir Richard Cart- wri,ght's contention. It would be far better for Ontario if the system. of local subsides were to be swept away once for all. But such a mercy is too much to expect. We must go on bearing the hurderi that Confederation imposed upon us ; but it is only natural to object that it should be made any heavier than it is, - Mr. Mows t should take steed, therefore, lest in his well known de sire to injure the Dominion Govern- ment he falls into the trap that Mr. Mercier has set.for him, and thus inflict a great injury on this Pro- vinince. We reiterate our statement that their arguments were so one-sided that even a child (much less the .Recorder) might have seen that they entirely failed to take a broad and comprehensive view of the question They pointed out the great extent of Canada, her rich soil, her bound- less forests, her exhaustless mineral resources, and the extent of forests, her fishing grounds, and they even spoke of her fish and game waiting to be caught or shot by the sports men of the United States. They showed as clear as the noonday sun, what a rich harvest the people of the United States would have if the Custom }louse duties and the restriction of trade were entirely abolished between the two ecus tries. But they failed to show what advantage Commercial Union would be to Canada, the Recorder to the contrary notwithstanding. There are always two sides to a story, and instead of this union spoken of, being an advantage to Canada, the very reverse would be the result. Prior to 1861 when reciprocity was law, manufacturies in Canada were few and fir between, and none of these were on an extensive scale or in a flourishing condition, for the simple reason that they could not compete against the more extensive establishments of the United. States. There are now many manufactures through the length and breadth of Canada, and it goes without saying that if reciprocity (and Commercial Union means the same) were again inaugurated, her engine wheels would cease to :revolve, Dead her manufacturies fires, which are but sparks from those across the border would again go out and become as cold as the.hand of the uncharitable. "Why were the opponents of Com- mercial Union not there taking; part in the proceedings ?" Simply be- cause there were no arguments ad- vanced by the promoters worthy of refutation, every attempt being "callous" in the extreme. Regarding .the farmers of Canada for instance., we fail to see what advantage they would derive tram the so -called -"Commercial Union.'' union as we always und.erstotod, appears to be a mutual benefit to the contracting parties. And in what way would there be a mutual benefit. from a Canadian standpoint? What the two speakers advocated was simply to give the United States the whole Canadian loaf and t:he, codfish into the bargain. Accorditg to markets repos is farm products sod in Toronto are about the same' as are sold in Detroit, and certainly no farmer would be foolish enough to send his'produce to Detroit, or elsewhere, when he can sell to the. same advantage at his own door. But still our cotem says the Times remains as unreasonable as ever. Possibly. It is well known that British wealth has built up Canada and. made her, with other advantages, y s. h n- y g d, as s d 0 s e e a n e EDITORIAL NOTES.
