Tag SEAFQRT .f EXPOS,UTOR.
Our Our s,tteuCiali has been called to an
art t.ia;leof last week in the Seaforth Ex
Raefacte which takes exceptions to a re-
mark we lately made "concealing' Pao-
hibition:" We have to thank our con
irel-e for the compliment paid as for
our "courage and honesty" in quoting
approyingly the sentiment publicly
(expressed by the Canacliau Premier op
the expediency of a plebiscite, and as
to its being un -British. It is but fair
that we should return the compliment,
by saying that our editorial has called
:Roth from the Expositor a very lively
and spicy reply,—whose only fault was
that It "savors to much of the demo-
erutic spirit that predominates in the
neighboring republic." But to come
;at once to the point,—does the Exposi-
tor mean to argue that the great "un
washed," or the religious cranks, or
those who have made temperance a
',hobby" in Canada, are more capable
of judging or giving an intelligent
wad 'unbiased opinion on the subject
of prohibition that the Bishops and
clergy, professional men, medical ex-
perts and other men of high culture
and undoubted integrity who have de-
fiberately expressed their opinion on
that subject? We presume that our
contemporary has read carefully the
evidence lately given by experts,police-
men, License Inspectors, clergymen
and others of high standing in the
community, before the Royal Commis
efon,, and should it happen that their
opinion, given under oath, and
as the result of mature ob-
servation and study, are to be overrid-
den by a vote of the plebisei;e,—and
that such a vote would be followed by
prohibitory legislation, forbidding the
manufacture, importation, and sale for
any purposeor under any circumstan-
ces whatever,—then we say. the less
parliament has to do with plebiscites
the better will it be for the morals, the
peace, and the welfare of this country
But it is evident that the aim of the
.Expositor was political, not moral. Any
one with half an eye can read this be-
tween the lines. Our cotemporary has
an axe to grind, ar.d a party to . serve
at all hazards; whereas our sole object
referring to prohibition was in the in-
terests of truth, in order to divest the
subject of all extraneous influences and
of all political or religious bias. When
Che matter is more ripe for action, and
a.ntore trust -worthy conclusion can be
reached, we shall have occasion to give
our readers the benefit of the pros and
cons that may be urged on this most
ilrportant social question. Meantime,
vre will ask our cotempoary to suspend
Isis judgment; and when he wishes in-
formation on 'the gerrymander," or
"the whitewashing of boodiers," or find
ling places for "defeated parliamentary
candidates.' and warn out political
hacks, all he has to do is to knock at
the door of Sir Oliver Mowat who will
give him all the "Christain evidences"
ai such doings by the party!'
THE POWER TO PROHIBIT.
Much doubt rests upon the powers of
the general government and the pro_
vincial governments to regulate and
control the sale of intoxicating liquours
The British North America act gives
the Dominion parliament exclusiye
mower to make laws in relation to
trade and commerce. It gives the
provincial legislatures exclusive power
tGmake laws in relation to property.
rind civil rights, and in relation to
shop, saloon, tayeru, auctioneer and
other iicenses, in order to the raising of
aa.revenue for provincial, local and
municipal purposes. Legal decisions
have to some extent defined the pow-
ers which parliament and the legisla
trues respectively may exercise, but
there is yet a good deal of doubt in the
Minds of well informed men on the
subject. Last year Sir Oliver Mowat
refused to approve the Marter Bill; and.
called upon his supporters to oppose it,
en the ground that he had doubts
'whether the legislature had power to
prohibit the retail trade in intoxicat-
ing liquors. This refusal Was some-
what strange, seeing that Sir Oliver
has: always insisted on his exclusive
right to Permit the litltior trade; and
St is difficult to understand how a. right
too permit can exist without a right to
ppohibit.
Still,• the question remains in doubt,
If eau be aettlod by having laws pass-
ed either by the Dominion parliament

unsettle, trade and cause great lose to
private persons; and it would be is t un-
r
satisfaeCol'y, because it more than
probable that only part of the question
ib doubt would be settled by the liti-
gation which would grow out of such
legislation. Some mouths ago Sir Oli
ver Mowat submitted certain questic s
to the Ontario court of appeal;\bearing
upon this subject. As these do not
cover the whole ground, the Dominion
govermneut has decided to submit
other questions to the supreme court
of Canada. When these questions are
passed upon there will be less doubt in
the minds of men as to the powers of
the legislative bodies to deal with pro,
hibition.
THE OUTLOOK IA' THE U. S.
The commercial outlook in the Unit-
ed States is anything butencouraging.
Tariff revision is one of the questions
of the hour; but as the Democratic
party are divided on that subject, it 0is
hard to say what the presidential mes
sage to Congress may be, 01 hoiv far it
may meet the wishes of the people,
One cause of the present stringency in
trade is owing to many of the factories
curtailing their expenses, and others
haying shut down altogether, This
state of things is caused by the uucer
tainty arising from a possible change
of policy by the Cleveland administra-
tion. That they will go in for free
trade simpliciter, is by no means prob
able or likely. Such a step would trip-
pie most of the leading' industries of
the nation, and add seriously to the
present commercial stringency. The
repeal of the Silver Bill has afforded
some measure of relief in commercial
circles, but until the policy of Cleve-
land's Cabinet regarding the tariff is
known, matters will not be materially
improved, Meantime, Canada is suf-
fering to some extent from the hordes
of "unemployed" coming north to seek
for food and shelter; and. in cases not
a few, we are exposed to burglary and
other species of crime. But the one
lesson taught us in the Dominion is
for our people not to precipitate rashly
any change in the present fiscal policy
of the government, but ;to await pa.
tiently the result of inquiries now go.
ing on in regard to a revision or modi
fication of the tariff, in the full hope
that the Cabinet at Ottawa—who are
practical men—will be sustained by
parliament in every reasonable attempt
to legislate in the interests of the
whole body of the people.
