SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, Nov. 13th, 1896 The Situation in the United States Although the full official returns of the -United States elections ha,ve not yet been made public, and perhaps .will not be known for some time, enough is cl finitely known to establish two or three in portant points. lathe first place,it is now t certainty that the straight Republican -candidates for both the Presidency and Vice -Presidency have been dented by very large majorities. Not- withstaniling the fact, however, that the Vice-Prereident isa.. very .important officer, arid cironOstances might very. , easily arise which wonld make him the head of the na- tion., tittle interest is tallen in his election, and the result creates as little interest as if he were only the merest figure head. The great interest is centered. in the Presidency, and the mari who has won that prize is the lion of the hour. There is, therefore, no hanger any doubt but that Mr. McKinley has been elected to - the office by a very large majarity. The exact majority is not yet defictitzly ascerteined, nor is it a matter of interest to Canadian readers. This set- tles the money question for the next four yeers at any rete, and, gold will rule king. But the Republicans have not only•captured the two chief offices, but they also have a majority in both branches of the Legislature, so that they have, practically, carried every- thing before t hem. The Democrats have been thoroughly routed if -not demoralized. They could not, however, expect a better fate. At the previous election they inacie almost as big a sweep as the Republicans have made this. time. They won that elec- tion on the strength of certain promises, the principal one being to reduce the tariff to a purely revenue basis. The President adher- ed to his platform and did all he .could to implement his promises to the people, but he was deserted, by his followers_ The Howse cif Representatives started well ; bet no sooner were their intentions of tariff reform ma;cle known than they were swoop- ed down upon by the monod monopolists anall other classes who were being permitted by legislation to rob the people. These power- ful infinences were too strong for the Dem- ocratic tariff reformers and after a weak resistance they succumbed to the monopolist bosses and basely betrayed the people who had elected them, and put their trust in them. As a result, the election pledges were never carried out and the taxes of the people remained as high and as burdensome as under ttepublican rule. The people were justly indignant atbeing thus deceived by their representatives, and they turn -ed against them. Inorder to try to cover up their deception, the Democratic leaders got up the silver agitation, eXpenting that by t they would delude the people into forget- ing the way they had' been sold on the ariff question. -In this, however, they ailed, and the result is that the once great Democratic party is utterly demoralized -and t wilt take it years to pull itself together again. Now that the silver iluestiOn has been ettled, some are preitlicting a speedy reviv- 1 of trade in the Uhlted States, in fact, °me anticipate a genuine boorn. We are fraid that these expectations will be dis- pin:tinted. That there will be some revival a trade is altogether probable, as business f every description has been almost at a tandstill theie for the past three months: his was due largely to the uncertainty mused by the siI ver agitatiou, but had reran been- elected and the silver ticket phelci, it is net, at all likely that the evival would have een any less marked, al - hough it might ha.,ve been longer delayed. •ar American neighbors are big on the bluff,. s the boys say. And had silver carried, he large Manufacturers and money kings, 11 of whom, are bitterly opposed tot the ilver question, might have kept their actories idle and their money bags dosed ora while in order to frighten the people o they would repent of their action and sist upon their representatives holding off ri the sllyer movement. But the elections aving gone in their favor; their is no neces- ty for them &tang such action, _ and they _re setting their factories to work and ?petting their money vaults. Their doing e will make a temporary improvement in rade at any rate. But we do not look for ny permanent improvement in the condi- eition of things in the United States under ehe present fiscal system. It is not free Iver they require to straighten them up in eie United States, but free trade. Under heck Protective system•the few have been elabIed bylew to rob the many, and the ones' of the country has been concentrated the hands of this few. The powerful oar - )rations and coinbinations that have been as formed, practically rule the legislators, Iwho are puppets in their hands and dance as tbey pull the strings. Any !legislation, no matter how preposeroas, which these wealthy corporations demand,. must be readily granted and the only thing which restrains their greed is the fear of arousing public indignat n. They go just as far as the da with td i thi d f u er ng pe p e ale coeceined,. it , mat- ters little which party is in power, all are to the . monied bosses., out nobly against these in- was- deserted by his follow - to stand alone and was, consequently,po verless. McKinley is hand and glove with those robbers of the public purse and plund rers of the people, se thet the cheek whichi the opposition of the. late President afforded having now ben rem �v - ed,, the despoiler hand than .bef American people alike amenable Cleveland stoo fluences, but he -ers and he had will ...hit.ve eveh a- freer re. The outlook for the cannot, therefore, be said to be very bt-iqhii even yet. In fact it would seem that the tountry is in a worae and more hopeless pcisition than it has been in since the rebellion. The friends of Ir. McKinley rive pluming themselves on th great victory which h e achieved. But i seems to us they have not much to boast ab ut. It is true that McKin - ley has been elect d and by a large majority, bat when we eon ider the circumstances and influences which ere in his favor, it wilj almost appear th 6 the friends of the defeat- ed candidate has e the leatest cause for - congratulation. ere we , ave a Compara- , tively unknown an, mapo4ed, bitterly op- posed by a large ctiou of his own, party, and arrayed agai • at him almost th e entire money money power of 6 le nation, and still, not- withstanding the disadvantages, he made. a very respectab e showing. Indeed, had it not been for th one unpopular, plank in his platform, and hich he kept 'Prominent- ly to the front, in fact, made of it the main issue, and the re arkably bad record made by his party whe in power, he would, em - questionably, com aratively unknown as he was, have made a lose run and in all prob- • ability would le ve 'been successful..All this goes to show t at the people,the toil- ers andwealth producers of the nation, are getting their eyes pened and are becoming restive and dissati fled. The result of the, recent. elections wi I not allay this feeling. On the contrary, it will strengthen and stimulate it, and i will grow and increase with time. When it comes to assert itself more fully, then th trouble will begin. The inonopolists and s oilers will not give up the hold they h ve obtainedt without a struggle. -The war therefore, Irtween the people and the mo opolists, will be fierce andit may be pro enged, but it must be fought before the p ople get freedom, and that freedom must e secured before pros- perity is restored t the nation. Anything short of that is sim ly a make -shift, -cover- ing .for a time th existing sores, which must be effectively reated before they e an be permanently cur d. Ontario's C old Fields. We hear so much. nowadays about the gold mines in British Columbia, and the great strikes which re being made there, that we are apt ti Overlook what is being done in our .lown province. ; As already known, there are ex ensive andivaluable gold mines, in the viein ty of Port Arthur and Rat Portage, whie are not only being worked, but Which are giving a good re- turn for the capital invested in them, and, wh-ich promise fufliv swell assmost of the mines in Beitish 1C Itimbia, although they are not being boome to the same extent. But we have also, important discoveries nearer home. In t e county of Hastings, within th-ree hours'. ide of the _city of To- ronto, are mines whi h promise -is -rich as any at the points ea ed. Gold was discov- ered in that count 'fifty years ago, and various attempts ha,v since been made to . . profit by the discove les, but ib would Seem that until the pies nt time suitable ma- Chinery had not been devised with which to extract the precious i etal from thel rock in whieh ib was imbe dedi This difficulty . , now seems to have be n overcorne.

These Mines will be in full operation by the first f January, and if th y succeed, as is con- dently expected, th t whole countrY will e alive next summer vith prospectors and all the aceompanimen s of a genuine milling camp. This district l4as great advantagee over any of the oth rs. There are good roads, excellent ship ing . facilities right at hand, with markets r supplies within a few hours' ride either y rail or private gen- veyance. We . may, therefore, expect to have a genuine- gold trnom, almost it our doors, before the snos s of another winter clothe mother earth w th her fleecy cover- ing.

The protective Policy so long pursued in the United has resulted in concentrating the wealth of the country in few hands and in building up huge monop- olies, which bleed the toiler at every pore and which have ultimately broiight him to the condition so aptly descfibed by our contemporary. This same policy is doing preMsely the same thing in thie country. Editorial Notes and Comments. The Ottawa oorrespondent of the Toronto Globe in referring to the Brussels poet- masterAhip says it is believed that the Postmaster . General does not think the evidence famished so far sufficient to justify the dismissal of Mr. Farrow. A contemporary remarks : " It semi rather shabby that at the very time the Toronto Mail is doing its best to show. that Mr..Tatte is not fit Company for either man- or beast, Ilugh John Macdonald shofuld -entertain him at his club in Winnipeg, and invite a number of friends t meet im." example of the pointing a Pro- Qiiebec is following the Ontario Gov rnment,.by a vincial _ instr dor in road naking.

Wallate, late . ! , Controller._ of Castorxis in the Doininion • 1..(ilovernment, who went to Rossland a few weeks ago, has purchased a silver .mine near there for which he paid $20,000. He writes to friends in Ottawa that he has struck a . bonanza. -Perhaps that is so, but we' doubt very much if .11r. Wallace will make as much out of hs silver mine as he made out of politics.- .hor some years he has had a gold mine. •The Cana a P• esbytetian remarks : - " There are ci er a I undred Ph.D's in one manufacturing establishment in , Germany. * When we Canadians- lear4 that oollege men can do something more than sqlueeze into professions.. already over-crewded, the cry about over -education will cease." That is so. A High School, or even a University 'education wc uld not hurt, any farmer, Imechenic or business man if they could only be brought t6 think so. On the contrary, it Would be a great help and would - !serve to make life very mu& more pleasant and profitable to them..

John Watson, whose name- in liter- ature is len Maclaren, seems to be meeting with great sucCess in the United States as a lecturer ; that is, large crowds turn out to hear him, and heis reaping a rich harvest of ready money. Yet the universal verdict seems to be that he is not, much of a lectur- er. If it were not that he is the author of the Scotch stories which have carried him .so dose to the hearts of his readers every- where, his lectures would be very •ordinary affairs. It is not the lectures that people go to hear. It is Ian Maclaren they go to see. Nature is not usually toe lavish with her gifts.

The • tables were spread for 900 guests, and the I ;affair as attended by all the dignitaries of the city,' including Lord Salisbury,England's :Premier. In his sPeech the Premier made the annouricement that the Venezula affair had been peacefully and satisfactorily set- tled. This announcement Was received with enthusiastic cheers. This banquet cost £5;000, one-half of the expense being borne by the new Lord Mayor ahd the • other half by the two Sher-iffs of the city. Itt. takes t. good, long •purse to keep up this sort o thing.' Mrs. Walter IV . Castle, the wife of wealthy American kesident of San Francisco, and who wasit. evening in England' with her husband, and who wasIcharged before the London police • court with shop lifting, and who pleaded' guilty and was sentenced to three month's imprisonment, has been re- leased note prison on account of ill health.

This being made known to the Home Secretary, he at once ordered her release from prison, and the•i woman left with her,. husband a few days ,ago for home. She wet in prison sexily a, couple of days. The, new County Council act, which comes into ferce on the let of January next, not only reduces the membership and the cost of muni ipal legisla.tion,but it equalizes the represertation and makes it much more .ecteitab e. Uuder the old system, a smallhich perhaps only paid eighty or ninety dollars county rate, - had one repe - sentatise, while the large township whi h paid two or three thousand dollars, could have at most, only three repiesentatives at theCounty Board. This was certainly a very unfair and unequal representat on„ and where the revenue is raised by dir et tax- ation, it is desirable that the- repres ntation should be as equal as possible.- Under the new act, each division will be represented as nearly as possible in accordance with the aniount of revenue it cox4tributes. This is one of the many commen able features of lew the strong N. P.. ad - n vote of Tuesday Cluel unrest that pre- sand purp ai•vey, the defaulti g Treasurer of ph, who used some te or twelve th,ou- dollars of the city's unds for his own oses, and who woul I probably have continued doing so, had i4i1ferings not been aceidentally discovered, acknowledged his offence before Judge Chadwick on Mon- day last, and was sentenced to three months !imprisonment. .Some complain that the punishment is unduly lenient. That while he only gets three months another poor wretch in Toronto, just the day before was sentenced.to three years in the Central Iria- on for an offence much less heinous. This does not look fair. The three months, how- ever, tray be as severe a punishment in the one ease as the three years in the -other. Harvey was a man who moved high in so- ciet,y, and he is as deeply disgraced by three moretha in gaol as if he had got three, years in penitentiary. Besides, he is prac- tically ruined for life and the Toronto man earlyall who vet - ed t hat ticket -are in a inoie or less desper- ate condition, and! they have not reached the point of vot ing! for repudiation without - having passed throug,h I heartrending exper- iences. The growth. of mortgagesin the West and the onerous !conditions of living for the mechanics in the Eaat have provok- ed a spirit of desperation amone the people , of the United States t °tiaras isplayed in Tuesday's vote for re udiation. The only way this sentiment caa be disposed of is by the enactment of laws that will secure to farmer *and toilers in every walk oflife a duce." This is all true, andstill the News 31,, larger proportion of the wealth the pro-• is doing all in its power to rivit upon Can- ada the very policy that has brought! upon the wet kin,g people of the United States IS not any the' worse off.
