NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Liberals talk of cheap raw
material. tender their policy 88,478, -
worth of it came in free in one year,
Whereas under the Conservative policy
gm free imports of raw material were
V9,095,363. The advantage of cheap-
ness semns all on the Conservative side.

Wilfred Laurier at the Liberal con-
vention "I preach the gospel of
absolute destruction to protection. Not
etwestige shall remain.' The absolute
destruction of protection would reduce
thousands of wage earners in Canada
to pauperism, and make everyone
poorer. Mr. Laurier may preach such
asospel, but be will never have the
chance to practice it in Canada.
Under Free Trade as the Liberals
leractice it, Canada imported in 1878
raw material for manufacturing pur-
poses to the value of $8,882,200 where -
ate under a protective policy the im-
eiortations of raw material in 1894
iters $23,285,334. Every dollar's worth
material so imported afforded ad-
eznployment to Canadian
labor.

Sir Oliver Mowat is coining, says the

Are Seeking ---Their Designs
Divulged by a Can-
did Yankee.
Cartwright Indiscreetly Makes an Avowal
That Shows the Anti -Canadian and Arlo.
British Party In its True Light—As to sir
Charles.
When, nearly five years ago, Sir John
Macdonald wept over to his fathers, the
very Grits who bad spent their days in
vilifying him were constrained to ac-
knowledge that he, more than any other
Train, had done his best to cement the
provinces of Canada into a great nation.
It was Sir John's intention that Sir
Charles Tupper should be his successor.
In 1891 it was impossible for the great
Nova Scotian to accept the premiership.
He was doing noble work for Canada in
the office of Higli Commissioner to Eng-
land. a
rbe X.lneal stiecesstor.
Now Canada has for a First Minister
the naan whom Sir John intended for
the post. Be is the lineal saccessor of
the greatest statesman that any British
colony has ever seen, The Right Ron.
Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State
for the Colonies, was among the first to
congratulate Sir Charles on his acceseion
to the premiership. None knew better
than Mr. Chamberlain that Sir Charles
on account et his intimate acquaintance
with fiscal and Tanperial questions, was
the most eligible male for the post.
What Sir Charles Abandoned.
Slurs, unmerited and ungenermis have
been cast at Sir Charles. He has been
amused by the Grits of selfishness. In
what respect has he been self-seeking?
The salary and allowance for expenses of
the High Commissioner amount to four.
teen thousand dollars a year. The salary
of the Premier of Canada is eight thou-
sand dollars a year.
The truth is that Sir Charles aban-
doned. six thousand dollars a year in or-
der that he might lead the Conservative
party to eictory against the Liberals,
headed by Mr. Laurier, the friend of
Honore Moreier, Count of the Holy
Roman Empire, and the most corrupt
politician that this country has ever
seen. It would be well for Canada if she
had more "selfish" politicians like Sir
Charles Tupper.
Oar Trade With Great Britain.
In 1879, the Grits said: "If you cheek
imports from Britain in the interest of
Canadian industry,. you will check our
exports to Britain; buying less you must
sell less." This formula, like a good
many others. has been knocked on the
head by the actual -results. In 1873 our
exports to Britain. were $89,000,000. In
1878-9, after Ave yeahs of Gritinixing and
muddling, they had dropped to $36,000,-
000. In 1895 they had risen to $62,000,-
000, an incre.ase of 70 per cent. Tho Na-
tional Policy did it,
Why Mr. Make Left Them.
For months before the elections of 1891
the Liberals talked of the "Sixty -million
market," that is, the market of the
United States. They were prepared,
when they got the power that they
sought and that the peeple -withheld
from them, to discriminate against Eng-
land and in favor of the United States.
Their ex -leader, Hon. Edward Blake,
said so in his address to the electors of
West Durham. It will be remembered
that Mr. Blake refused to run bceause
he considered the Cartwright -Laurier
combination to be coinposed of men who
had not the interests of Canada at heart.
If he had had confidence in the present
Liberal leaders Bon. Edward Blake
would have remained in parliament.
Said he: "Reciprocity without an agreed
assimilation of duties is an unsubstan-
tial dream."
And these men, Cartwright & Co.,
talk abut being loyal! They could not
have secured reciprocity, for .Teenes G.
Blaine's idea, was to starve Canada into
annexation. He would hare had tho 50 -
valuable aid of Laurier, Charlton, Cart-
wright &, Partners, if the Liberals had
been victorious.
Since 1891 some of the Grits have de-
nied that they want reciprocity. Some of
the more sensible members of the party
—but they are not "good Grits"—may
not want it. Their leaders, mad with
love for the States, do want it.
At Sarnia, March 6, 1896, Sir Richard
Cartwright said: "We must find you bet-
ter markets, and we don't propose to look
Lor them by preference at the .A.ntipodes.
We do propose freo trade with all the
world as our ultimate goal, but we will
be very glad to secure for you free trade
with
The Rest of This Continent.
as an exceedingly comfortable instalment
on the way."
Not a word as to England, or as to
furthering Imperial trade. Not a word
as to the increase of our exports to Great
Britain of grain, of timber, and of
meats. All, all Is for the United States.
All is "looking to Washington," to use
the favorite expression of Mr. .Edward
Farrar, the paid writer of Grit literature.
The Meknes and the Grits.
What do the Ainerica,ns think of their
friends Laurier and Cartwright? Every-
body has heard of the New York Sun,
the most rabidly Anti-British daily news-
paper in the -world. The other day the
Sun contained an eulogy of the Liberal&
and a denunciation of the Conservatives.
This is what it said:—
" Tho Tory party is the party of Brit-
ish connection and the 'Old Flag.' Its
sentiments are always vociferousiy pro-
claimed. Hatred of Yankees is its boast
and its watchword. The Liberal party is
in its fundamental tendency continental,
And Inclined to American connection.
But the Liberals, or rather the Liberal
politicians, aro afraid to show their feel-
ings, and perhaps disguise them from
therbselves. They even allow themselves
to be neurally coerced into uniting their
quavering voices to the roaring demon-
strations of Tory loyalty. This is their
weakness, and it will probably in the
coming struggle tell against them once
more. The strdggle, however, will be at
bottom one between the
Annexation and the Anti -Annexation
• idea. If the Liberals win the Governinent
of Canada, -will be friendly to the United
States. If Sir Charles Tupper and the
Tories win it will be hostile to us.
Canadians, beware of the friends of
She annexation New York Simi Thwart
the designs of the men "who are inclined
to American connection." Show them at
the polls that this is a British Country
and that the party that looks to Britain
and not to Washington Is the Canadian
party.

LAURIER AND HIS FOLLOWERS
CLAMOR FOR A SWEEPING
MEASURE—THEY WANT
DARKAGE SCHOOLS.
And Tot Their Ontario Followers Deny the
Truth—Who Leads the Grits, The Eel-
toweris dr the Leader e
The Grit newspapers throughout the
land have simulated delight at the news
that Sir Oliver Mowat, Ontario's Premier,
will aid their leeder in the eamprogn,
They neglect to point out that Sir Oliver
has given Mr. Laurier very faint-hearted
aid. At first, with a great flourish of
trumpets, the Liberal press announced
that Sir Oliver would resign his seat in
the Ontario Legislature and would run
in some Ontario constituency. But the
Premier was ton far seeing to take any
chances. He declined togivenp his seven
thousand dollar post in the Ontario Gov-
ernmeen and anrienne.ed that in the
event of Mr. Laurier's attaining power
he would enter the Senate
With this SKr. Lander was fain to be
content. Re tried his best to conceal his
disappointment, but in his speech at
Quebec it was evident that he had ex -
Rooted. to -have something better then a
mere promise from Sir Oliver. Re had
anticipated the active aid of tho Premier
of Ontario. The French Liberal press ex-
presses joy at Sir °liter's incoming. The
Electeer (Lib.) said on May 5:—
"The despatches from all parts of the
country indicate that the determination
of Sir Oliver Mowat to jOID Mr. Laurier
in the Federal arena is received by the
Liberals with joy unbounded.
"Li is uQW, they say, not merely a
hope, but an absolute certainty, that we
shall have a signal triumph,
"There Is no doubt that Sir Oliver is
the only man capable of
Squelching the Orange Lodges.
and the P.P.A. in Ontario.
"What will the Tories Fay now?
Thus we aro shosvn that Sir Oliver's
mission is to prepare and make ready the
way for the remedial bill that Mr. Lau-
.rier -wants introduced, and that he has
promised. In Quebec', May 7, he eafel: "I
believe that the minority in Manitoba
should have all their rights, and not
only part of them" Teo leader of tho
Liberals meant that the demands of his
organ, The Electeur, should bo gratified.
That journal objected to the Remedial
bill became it required the separate
schools of Manitoba, to be inspected, the
teachers to be qualified by passing a
Government examination, and the text
books to be authorized. Mr. Laurier said
in the House of Commons: "God help
my poor fellow -countrymen if all the
help they are going to have is what the
hon. gentleman (Sir Charles Tupper)
and his followers are prepared to give
them. I pity my poor fellow -countrymen
of Manitoba or anywhere elso if they ex-
pect any justice front the hon. gentleman.
Repeatedly has Mr. Laurier pronounced
in favor of complete remedial legislation,
i.e., legislation which shall re-establish
the schools as they were prior to 1890,
without any inspection, without 'any ex-
amination of teachers, without any
guarantee of efficiency. The Government's
bill providea for all of these things.
And that was why Laurier and his
friends voted for the slaughter of the
bill. Mr. C. A. Geoffrion, M.P., is one of
She prominent Liberals. Said he, in the
debate on the
"I ani just as anxious as hon. gentle-
men opposite aro that justice should be
rendered, and. that our Constitution
should be respected. But Imost emphati-
cally say that this bill, which I have now
before me, does not render justice, and I
am most decidedly in favor of voting the
six months' hoist, because the acceptance
of such a bill would be a delusion and a
denial of justice. It has the label of a
Remedial Aet, but I do not see the
remedy. . . As this bill, if passed,
will, in nry opinion, exhaust tho remedi-
al legislation which is to be introduced
pursuant to the order adopted by the
Government, it will leave the Catholics of
Manitoba in a worse position than they
would occupy if this bill did not pass."
What litr. Laurier Seeks.
Again, Mr. Laurier said: "I am
certainly in favor of remedial legislation;
-but where I differ is with regard to the
methods to be adopted and the procedure
to be adopted"
Listen to another Liberal, Mr. Carroll:
"Mr. Speaker, I am against this law,
because it is going to cause irritation
without relieving the minority. I am
against this law, because I think it is an
appeal to expediency. 1 am against this
law because I think it is the death -blow
to the French language in the province
of Manitoba. I am against this law be-
cause I do not think that this Govern-
ment, even if they were sincere, could
render justice to the minority while they
command the Tory phalanx behind
them.
Not a Strong Enough 13111.
Mr. Geoffrion said: "I shall vote
against this bill, not because I an
opposed to remedial legislation. On the
contrary, I stated lust year that I had
no confidence in the promises that were
made on behalf of the Government by
one of the Ministers; but I have a strong
faith that our leader will bo able to suc-
ceed where the Government aro sure to
fail. I have full confidence in inyeparty,
and not only in the leader of my party,
but in his lieutenants. , I oppose this bill
precisely because I feel that if we were
to pass it to -day, it would put an end to
all possible chance of re-establishing
separate schools in Manitoba."
Mr. Laurier's only supporter from west
of Lake Superior is Hon. Joseph Martin,
the author of the Manitoba School law.
Mr. Laurier has said many a word in
• praise of Mr. Martin. He has also said
that tbe Manitoba School law is persecu-
tion. That opinion was given to an au-
dience of French Canadians. But, Mr.
Facing -both -ways Laurier had another
opinion for the English-speaking
Protestant people of Canada. When the
Dominion Government, in a mild and .
politio manner, asked Premier Greenway
to deal with the question, Mr. Laurier
ordesed the Premier to send in a reply
which had been drafted by Attorney -
General Sifton and Mr. Laurier. In this
document it was stated "There has been
no wrong committed."
Which Mr. Laurier are we to believe?
The one who speaks in Quebec or the one
that talks in Ontario? Doubtless the
fonner. By religion Roman Catholic and
by nationality French, the predilections
of the Liberal leader are all in favor of
separate school. Ho has said so in the
House of Cornmon,s, in a place in which,
of all peaces, even this astuteenaster of
a uhiguity would feel called UpOn 91)

rier's Incompetents.
A French Liberal editor, who was
seized vvith an unusual flt of frankness,
told us last March how Tarte and the
hungry orew of French Grit boodlers
stood "with their ladles ready to get st,
tho soup that Laurier will give them
when he shall bare attained power."
The truth was in that sentence. But
Mn. Laurier won't be banding out soup
wheu the elections aro over. He'll be in
it biluself. Nine out of ton of the Freneh
Liberals hate the Conservetives beeause
they are the Loyzaist party. Limn to
what the Frexieh Canadian editor of La
Patric. Laurier's organ in Montreal says:
Hatred of England and everythingeBrit-
ish sticks out in it; in this Good Grit
editorial:—
"Everyhoey has noticed that Joseph
Chamberlain, who pretends to be tbe
entire English Goverinnente has sent a
cablegram to Sir Charles Tupper con-
gran:lacing him upon becoming Prime
N.I711.11.017.
"Mr, Chamberlain has reason to bo
satisfied, because Sir Charles is his crea-
ture and his factotum, and it is he who
has bought for our Government a million
and a half of rifles that Chamberlain has
ou hand. Sir Charles is hero to represent
and protect the interests ot England,
not those of Canada, beav in mind.
"Sir Charles' mission is to lead Can-
ada to Imperialism, the policy of fortifi-
cations and guns, simply on account of
Emelt: nd.
"e:ow you know why Gbamberlain is
Flat leiod that Sir Charles is Primo Min
ister,"
It Le pleasing to be able to say that
half a dozen prominent French Conserva-
tive newspapers have resented bitterly
this attack on Britain.
Once upon a time Sir Richard Cart-
wright paid his cotupliments to the
farmers of Canada.
"The bast way to treat the farmers,"
said he, "is to let them compete with the
world. If they can't do that successfully,
they deserve nothing at our hands."
What did that mean? Itmeant. Let the
Canadian market be flooded with Yanken
Produce.

'What does the Liberal financial critic.
say in answer to this? Probably ho holds
the same opinion as he did in 1893 when
he made tho speeola above referred to.
The great farming class of Canada knows
better. In North Waterloo, Ont., the
Grits have put up as their candidate E.
W. B. Snider. Only a few short months
ago Mr. Laurier, who had sat in the
House of Commons and had applauded
Sir Richard Cartwright's remarks, sat on
the same platform with. Candidate Sni-
der, and heard him say that tho
Protective tariff, ntherwise the Nation-
al Policy, could not be dispensed with.
There are too many hard-headed Can-
adians living in Waterloo to allow Mr.
Snider's giving them any such rot as
Cartwright inflicted upon tho House of
Commons. The trouble is that Snider is
a Protectionist. He can no more be a
Protectionist and a Liberal than he can
be walking and standing still at the same
time.
Probably Sir Richard and Mr. Laurier
would like to read Snider out of the Grit
ranks. He preached what they consider a
damnable heresy—Protection for the
Country, and the Giuntry for Canadians.
"The Yankee prodnoer is glad to get
fifteen cents a bushel for his pota-
toes," the patriotic Liberals cry. "Why
should our fanner get, as he does
get, five cents more? Down with 3 the
tarlffl What's good enough for the Amer -
leans is good enough for our people."
Yes, the policy of the Government is
responsible for it all. The Liberals are
going to change the state of things—they
say. But the farmers of Canada are going
to take care that Laurier, Cartwright,
Tarte, Pacaud and the Quebec Mercierites
won't get it chance to ruin the country.
The Liberals ask the farmer to vote for
them, to abandon his pre-emption on the
Canadian market, and to receive the
sheriff with joy while the Yankee farmer
fattens an the spoil.
"The sheriff?" says somebody. Yes.
So the United States consular agents say.
In their reports to the Washington au-
thorities the American Consular agents
stationed in Canada united in saying
that free trade would render it impossible
for the Canadian farmer to come down
to the American scale of prices. Now,
these Consular agents ought to know
whereof they speak. They are salaried
experts. They had no fish to fry. They
were Instil -Kited by their Government to
enquire into the probable effect of free
trade with Canada. And they reported
as above. They saw, as the farmers of
New York, • Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Michigan, see, that there is a market
ready for them in Canada whenever our
tariff walls shall have been thrown down.
And it is the dream of Laurier's life to
throw them down. "We want Free
Trade," he said at Winnipeg, and has
said a hundred tithes. He has said
another thing that is quite true. It is "I
Om not a business man." The Liberal
leader never said a truer word. And so,
by his own admission, being it lawyer
and not an authority on business matters,
how comes it that he should attempt to
advise the farmers on their affairs? The
answer is easy. Lanrier and Cartwright
and the rest of tho aggregation of incom-
petents that head the so-called Liberal
party, needed a cry. Anything would do,
se long as it was a campaign cry. They
have 15, and they are weloome to it
When they find their own candidates re-
pudiating it they will decide that it
weuld have been better had they clung to
their old policy of: "No Policy Except
to Get at The Treasury."
