SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Aug.; 5, 1887. South Renfrew.. The election in South Renfrew took place on Tuesday last and resulted in the defeat of Mr. Duncan McIntyre by something over one hundred. South Renfrew is a Reform constituency, and Mr. McIntyre's defeat may •be ascribed largely, if not wholly, to his cOnnection with the Canadian Pacific Rai*ay Com- pany. Referring to the elecition the Globe of Wednesday says: Wise folks may regret that the South Renfrew Reformers .failed to take a lenient view of Mr. NIcIntyrehi tempor- ary difference from his old political friend. Except that he wa.e, and is, for all we know, largely interested in the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, and therefore likely to further its inter- ests whenever occasion offers, there is no reason to doubt his Liberalism. For thirty years back he has been a steady and exceedingly active opponent of Toryism, varying from the majority of his political friends in nothing but Canadian Pacific Railway matters. It is possible, nay probable, that he would again'upon occasion, support Canadian Pacific Railway interests in opposition to the Opposition at Ottawa. But the Tory presumption is that occasion will not offer. The friends of the: Govern- ment allege that accounts tutve been squared between the country and the Company; that a final settlement has been reached; that the ComPany is, to all intents and purposes, a private cor- poration. If so there is no Visible rea- son why Mr. so, shoidd again have occasion to separate fram his ac- customed political associates. They have no quarrel with the Company ; their programme does not include any proposition to meddle with the situation it has. legally gained ; like gill other Canadians, they would gladly see the great corporation prosperous indepen- dent and free from all suspicion of de- sign to seek such new concessions as Liberals would be bound to oppose. Granting that the Conservatives speak truly, Air. McIntyre will, doribtless, re- main steadily within the Liberal fold. • The pith of the whole subject lies in the last sentence: " Granting that the Conservatives speak truly." The Globe knows very well that the Conservatives who say that the accounts between the Gotternment and the Company are closed up; do not speak truly. They only say this to put the people off their guard. They know very well that three-fourths of the g:ants to railways passed last session of the Dominion Parliament were indirectly, if not directly, in aid of the Canadian Pacific, a,nd. they Ws° know that many more similar grants are pro- mised for next session. They further know that thernis a very strong possi- bility that the Government will submit a scheme at the next session of Parliament to indemnify the Company for the aban- donment of the monopoly in Manitoba, if not in the Northwest. Knowing all this, then, their professions are a lie, and We venture to say the Globe is as 'fully con' vincecl of the insincerity of these prefes sions as we are. We do not oppose e the Canadian Pazific Company as a: eompany. We wish them well, and we 'sincerely hope their enterprise will prove a mag- nificent commercial success. But we are opposed to the Company bleeding the country and getting from the Govern- ment and Parliament benefits 1 to which they are not entitled; We da not object to the members of the Company becom- ing rich through legitimate business en- terprise, but we do object to their becoming wealthy by dipping their hands into the public treasury and piling up enormous dividends at the expense of the Canadian tax -payer. We are joined in these objections by every R,eforiner, eand we would be also by every indepen- dent. Conservative were it not for the blindness occasioned by party bigotry. We do not blame the Company,either; for making as good a bargain as they can with the Government and Parliament andgetting all the advantages possible from the people, but we do (blame the guardians of the people's interests for giving them advantages and perquisites to which they are not in equity entitled. It is because we know they have received these in the past that we fear for the future. And it is because we know that the company have in the past exercised an undue influence upon_ Parliament and the Government, that fwe do not desire to see that power in- ereased,and it was because we feared the election of Mr. McIntyre as the repre- sentative for South Renfrew would crease that power, that we now rejoice at his defeat, although we deeply regret the loss of a. seat to the Reform party. Sir John Macdonald has sold his Gov• eminent and his party, so far as he can control it, body and bones, to the company and they can do with theta as they like. Reformers have a right to take care that they are not bartered in the eame market, and the result of the Renfrew election shows that they are on their guard. By the sale Sir John has succeeded in retaining himself and his party in power for another term, but Reformers do not want either to main- tain or retain power at such a cost. If they reach power, they want it as free men and not as slave monopoly. Deceit and prosper for a time; the in Canada for some year manifest signs that the is not far distant and th is near at hand. Reim.' a to a soul ess ishonesty may have ptospered , but there are ay of reckoning t the dissolution ers have waited patiently, but they ha e not waited in vain, and it would be a calamity should they now fall into th snare of the tempter, just as the rev t ard of their con- sistency is almost at ha d.

'So that, as a matter of dollars and cents to the country, itwould prob- ably have been better had Mr. McIntyre been elected. But, as a matter of prin- ciple, neither candidate was deserving of the support or endoreaVon of the Re party„ and we are glad hat the Ref ers of Renfrew have v ewed the m in this light.

Taking the smaller sum, if our revenue «ere collect- ed by direct taxation, ther ':would be saved to the tax -payers of t is Dominion the sum of at least twelve millions of dollars annually, with equ lly efficient service. • Now, why shout the people of this Dominion pay this 1 rge sum out • of their hard earnings, sia ply to sup- port anstrmy of idlers in 1 xury ? Is it reasonable to suppose they would do so if they believed such were t e case.. The Globe knows, and the poli icians know that what we say is absol tely correct. Is it nut then the duty of t e Globe and all honest politicians to pia e before the people the true position -of affairs, and in this way win their su port for the true policy,—the policy vhich would starve the political boodle s ond barna- cles, and enrieh the hone t and hard worked. tax -payers. Annexation One of the stock argume i ts used by the opponents of dommerc al Union is that it will lead to Annexa ion with the United States. We do no believe this. On the contrary, we believe that it would be the surest check to the r pidly grow- ing sentiment in favor of an iexation, and that if We do not get Corn ercial Union the present unrest will asstiredly result iercial Union tages of An- isadvantages Government t, supposing what of it? t surely such . into an Or estimated that nually in thS in - j dollars per i ead if this a ctimt the people ould , &c., just that _ addition ould es a' a hor e of' half idle but -large salaried officials. In addition to this, if the taxes were col- lected directly the people would Lie inore careful as to their expenditure th n they are nola, and as a result a greaee de- gree of economy would be Practiejl by Our "public men. It is an absolute and well understood fact that our mi n cipal affairsare much more eeonoin cally managed than are the affairs of the nation, The reason for this it that in the one case the revenue ist raised by di- rect taxation and the people know, just 1 exactly what.they have to pay, a hile in the other they are kept in ignora4e of the amount collected owing to the lindi- rect manner in which the mon y is, raised. The result is that in the orm- er case they look closely after the ex- penditure by their repre6entative and the meat rigid economy prevails, kvhile in the latter theSr pay litt e attentien to the expenditure, and the most reCkless and. wasteful extrava a ce is the rule.; But the people h ve to pay the money all the s m , in both' cases. The difference wu11 be t at if the reVenue were raised by direct taxa- tion, the people would only have t pay about two thirds of what they ar4 now required to do, and the' would have more efficient service. , The, arnou t at present annually collected from th pee - in Annexation. With Comi we would reap all the adva nexation and none of the which the American form o would impose upon us. B it did result in Annexation The people of Canada are n fools that they would be le once with the Yankees unl'ess they felt such alliance would be an advantage to them. It is doing them no Oredit to say, or even insinuate,that theyi would do so. We believe the Canadians are quite competent to take care ofl themselves, and that they could and tould not be cajoled or led or coaxed intp any alliance that would be detrimental interests. If, after we had the Americans on even ter come to the conclusion tha would be to our advantage have Annexation? Hund o their best traded with s, we should Annexation then why not reds of our best citizens and most loyal subjects go to the United States annually and make that country their permanent home. They go' there because theyI believe they can do better there than here, and we do not respect them one whit the less because they do so. If, therefore, Can- ada as a whole finds it wo ld be to her advantage to do as many io her citizens now do why simuld it be considered a crime, or even a disgrace, 1� suggest the probability of such a cours in the dis- tant future? The thing is all bosh, and the cry is simply raised to frighten the ignorant and thus do duty ,n the absence of sound argument. If would be best for us, why Annexation? But, in the believe that Commercial accomplish all for us tha would do,a,nd in this way drance instead of a help to be accepted by all who Annexation. • Annexation ot let us have teantime, we Union would Annexation ould be a hin- t _and should o not desire • The Reason Why. Although many staunch onservatives are in favor of Commercia Union, to be followed ultimately by direct taxation, there are very few of the Conservative papers on that side. In this County, for instance, every ConservativeI paper is opposed to Conunercial Union. The reason for this, although selfish one, is not very far to seek. It s given very plainly in the Auditor Ge eral's report, The Conservative papers o not desire any change. They now fe d luxuriously at the public crib, and in the event of change they fear this gouj ce of revenue would be cut off, and hen that things remain as the at any rate are all right, may suffer.

They don't want any change lest the change might endanger the them so liberally at the and no tlerson will be surpr isfaction,although some n sincerity and disinterest arguments. When, in addition to this, if we consider the fact that for the work which these amounts are aupposed to represent, prices were charged and al- lowed, at least three tinies higher than these same parties charge the local municipalities or their regular custom- ers, we can all see an additional reason for the desire ta let well enough (for them) alone. The Huron papers are not by any means exceptional. The Con- servative papers throughout the entire Dominion were treated in like manner, • and many of thern even more generous- ly. And it is not the. newspapers alone that are . thus favored. This is only a weak sample of the princely rna'nner in which all ! Government hangers-on and an d that feeds ublic expense, sedattheirsat- ay doubt the dness of their favorites are treated. Now, will any sane man say, be he either Tory or Re- former, that if the revenue of this coun- try were raised by direct taxation, the tax -payers would permit it to be squan- dered in this way? A Few Plain Facts. The Toronto Mail in referring to the South Renfrew election, makes the fol- lowing blunt but truthful statements, which stow in a few words the sadly, de- moralized position to which public affairs have been reduced in this Dominion of ours. We quote The contest, as has been said before, turns upon "boodle." If Mr. Ferguson is returned the people will get a Govern- ment subsidy for a local line; if Mr. McIntyre is returned, he will build them a local line, besides spending some por- tion of his plethoric bank account among them. Such is the programme to which the two old parties have been reduced. Two leading Liberal journals, the Mon- treal Witness and THE HURON EXPOSI- TOR, have opposed the election of Mr. McIntyre on the broad ground that the Liberal party cannot afford to be identi- fied with the Canadian Pacific; and we have reason to know that this is the view entertained by,many of the most respectable Liberals in the riding. The Conservatives cannot afford to indict -Mr. •McIntyre as a supporter of monopoly, Sir Donald Smith's presence on the Ministerial benches and the intimate relations existing between the Govern- ment and the Syndicate being a bar. Nor have the Conservatives any cry in behalf of the Ministry. No one knows what its policy is, and certainly nobody can dispute the fact that it has added enormously to the public debt without either consolidating the Dominion or creating the germ of a national spirit by its huge political enterprises. The Con-- servative creed at the present time con- sists in the main of reverence for Sir John. The intellectual basis of their belief in, the party's aims and aspirations has disappeared, but they would like to see the Old Man, who has done so much for them, remain in office until the last. This sentiment does them credit, and if his friends could only persuade him to cease spending the public money like water, to put new blood into his*Cabinet, and. to acknowledge that the policy of commercial isolation and restriction is not fulfilling expectations, even Reform- ers might consent to his retaining the Premiership to the end of his days. A better clay will dawn after the deluge that is sure to follow Sir John's dis- appearance from the scene. • News of the Week. FLOODS IN MEXICO.—The city of Mexi- co is in danger of being flooded.
