Independently, however, of the ab Bence of British precedent in favor of a plebiscite in eases where parliament is : esponsible for its legislation,—it is our humble opinion that, under the Ivoy�al Commission now at work, we have the best guarantee or test of what eulighteued public opinion is on the expedielicy of prohibition. Such a sweeping enactment as the total pro- hibition of the importation, manufac- turies and sale of alcoholic liquors,— involving as it would not only yested right and interests, to say nothing of the question of revenue, but also iguor- sng� the holiest convictions of people who differ as to the best mode of pro mediate temperance reform,—such an enactment, we say, would prove so revolutionary as to create social dis- turbauce in the State; and, unless it -were strongly backed by at least three fourths of the electorate, prohibition would prove practically a nullity. Enough has already transpired from the inquiries thus far made and the. iufertnation elicited, under the Royal Commission, to show that the Scott Act was a miserable failure; in fact that so far from lessening the drinking ha- bits .of the community, it held out a premium to fraud, deception, and per- jury; while at the same time there was a continued violation of the law, and liquor of the worst kind was freely bought and sold to excess. If public sentiment were such that total prohi- bition could be effectually enforced, no. doubt there might be a great lessening of the drinking habit and consequent- ly of immorality and crime. But it is reentended by many who have given testimony before the Royal Commis sign, that the worst crimes are not smmitted by persons of intemperate habits,—but are the result of jealousy, unhappy social relations, want of pro- per moral training, undue love of. money, and sundry other motiyes quite apart from 'habits of inebriety. We have no sympathy whatever with oo ercive legislation, or with a movement which would enforce on ot• hers legal restraint from eating and drinking or wearing a certain 'kind of clothes. Under British laws and :British institutions, every man is at perfect liberty to eat, drink, and wear whatever he chooses—so long as he does not injure his neighbor or offend lady politic. It is the testimony of Teeny professional and business men of experience that a high license sys- tem would be more effectual in regu- lating the liquor traffic, and promot- ing good' order in society, than the most stringent prohibition. So long as the world lasts,'and society is made up of imperfect moral elements, it Is use- less to .expect a cessation .of crime. Sad) a hope is altogetheru topian. And therefore the next best thing in legis- lation is so to control and regulate public morals that intemperance, theft, murder, and every other •breach of morality shall be reduced to the lowest possible scale so as to effectuate the highest possible amount of good, 'until such time as we shall reach the milieu rttrax, int - Osie, rent ory re - a sly ugs ing the one at i 0 - the ns tic FARM IMPLEMENTS Free tradespeakers and writers as- serted strted that Canadian manufacturers cheated purchasers' by chaiegin exor- bitant prices, and that they were enab• fieri to do this by the trill', Particular- ly, they said; the rr.anufacturers of ag. rieultitral implements charged higher ]rices tII a were charged its the United' to tes. TX erelapen,Mr,', ay'lee eept hie cleptization of farmers to St. Lawrol<tee eounty, New Yerit, and they found the statements o1 the free traders to be false, Priees of agricultural lxtip e, ments Were higher on the south .side of the St, Lawrence .than on the Cana- dian'side, The Reform journals had publislhed'fa'selioods calculated to in- jure Canada, They had, : published these falsehoods iu the interest of fore- ign in auufaeturers and"doubtless the:. y. had been well veld for doing so. Then the slanderers shifted their gronnd, and asserted that pricesof agricultural. implements were higher in Manitoba Omit in Dakota,just � south b of the ILO. Mr, Mc13 iclei b an agent in. Manitoba for the sale of implements, has just published lists of prices cliai'�•- • U',. ed siiott tu„ that ttiir statement also: is false, An Ontario self binder cells at the factory iu this province for $110 In Manitoba a sheaf carrier, costing $8 is added, and the freight charge of $12,50 puts the Wiunipeg price up to 8180. In Dakota the prices for oorres ponding machines are: Sif Slx- oot cut with bundle carrier and one knife. cash. 8140; November 1, 1898 8145, 8 per cent from date of delivery; on two falls 8155, one-half cash each fall, 8 per cent; on throe falls, $175, one third each fall, 8 per cent. It will be seeu that the Dakota cash price is $i0 higher than the Winnipeg cash price. The Winnipeg price for mowers is from 852 to 855 cash. The Dakota price is from 850 to $55. In some instances Dakota dealers sell old-style implcmcuts at low prices af- ter the harvest is over, The Canadian free trader is not at all ashamed to take prices under these exceptional circ nrstances and compare them with regular prices in Winnipeg. If this question is to be discussed on its merits the comparisons made should bo fair comparisons. And with fair compari- sons it will be found that the Manitoba farmer pays lower prices for his imple- ments than the Dakota farmer pays. At the annual meeting of the Mol - sons Bank, held in Montreal, the direc- tors presented their thirtyeight annu- al report which was very encouraging. $50,000 was added to their rest ac- count which now amounts to 81,200,000 and 810,000 set aside for rebate of in- terest and a dividend of eight per cent per annum declared. The Directors and Shareholders are to be 'congratu- lated on this state of affairs. Goldwin Smith is about to leave Canada. Canada can spare him.. He has lived a long time in this country, and has written much learned stuff; but he never was a Canadian, and his great learning had failed to correct a predisposition toward pessimism which made his writings worthless—even harmful.

A Doctor's view One of the most noted -physicians of. modern times says:- "When the system is surcharged with bile and the liver needs a powerful stimulus to, excite it to duty, then it is that we use power- ful cathartics to obtain the necessary relief, often attended, however, with prostrating effects," and he might also add, "often causing by their re -action worse constipation and biliousness than before." Now Oasis not the case with Eseljays's Liver Lozenges. They do not prostrate ncr react. They act gent- ly yet powerfully.

Alvinston, Ont., ' Oct. 17.—William Oxford and Dan Sullivan went out to the farm of Malcolm C. W. McIntyre, near here, to -day, to clean out a Well.
