THE "LOGICAL" GLOBE, -
-•�''I'be Globe says so" and oon-
bequently it nrnetbeso is a trite ex-
pression of the few who still lean
,upon that oracle to do their think-
ing instead of inquiring into the
why and wherefore of the fiscal
,condition of the country for them
selves.
• The oountry is going to "the
demnitfon bow wows" say the un-
thinkfhg because the Globe says so,
at the same time they are boarding
up money or investing it in improve-
ments or putting it- in the Savings
Banks or out upon mortgage. They
pretend to believe the Globe state
ments instead of the ev!deuce of
their own senses.
Some of them will probably be •
Neve the Globe when it said the
other day that Canada• exported
goods to the United 51;.198 last year
upon which the Americans collect-
ed a duty of • inillions of dollars
and tha a Canadians paid that
duty,'
T. . ugh the Globe has not said so
w will supplement Restatement by
saying that the Americanssent into
Canada during the same year goods
on which we collected over eight
millions of dollars of duty (See page
582 Dominion Trade and Naviga-
tion Returns 1890."
Now if we paid the five millions
of dollars duty on goods we exported
to the United States, according to
Globe logic, and if that argument is
irrefutable, the undoubted sequence
is that the Americans paid the eight
millions of dollars we collected on
n goods which they exported to
Canada.
"The Globe says so", though not
in so many words, but in the man-
ner we have described, that under
our present tariff syetem ,we ate the
gainer of over three millions of
dollars in our dealings with the
United States during the year
1890.
If the Globe logia is correct it ie
not surpriaing that the Americans
should want free trade to get even
on the $3,000,000 which they
aunually pay us over and above
what we pay them.
The Globe logic also leads us to
to conclude that Canada is a direct
gainer by imposing duties on Brit-
ish goods. We collected on goods
imported from Britain last year
dutise amounting to over nine and
a -half millions of dollars. If the
exportiug country pays the duty
this atnount is clear gain to Canada
becanse Britain exacta no duties on
what we sent there.
Therefore, iustoad of the Globe
harping upon the "legalized rob-
bery" involved in the collection of
customs duties, to be consistent it
ought to advocate a sixty or seventy
percent tariff in this oountry instead
of the_paltry twenty-five or thirty
per cent tariff as ab present.
iin Toronto, but they are supposed
to be there in the persons jof their
duly elected representatives.
. Now why all this pother by the
Gilts because a protest has been
elected against Mr. Cameron? Why
the cart loads of abuse that are
heaped upon petitien.,r Mitchell ?
If Mr. Cameron's election was con
ducted legally he and his friends
have nothing to fear. The expense
they will bo put to is guaranteed
by the $1000 deposit. In fact they
should rejoice that an opportunity
will be given them in the courts to
set themselves right before the pub-
lic and to confound the alleged lib-
ellers of their good name.
'Instead of finding fanit with Con-
eervatives and petitioner Mitchell
in theeo premises the Grits should
thank them for having the courage
of their convictions and" for for pro -
ceding to establish in open court
the evidence upon which they base
those convictions. Surely this is a
more honorable course than to ,re-
sort to newspaper scurrility and in-
tangible inuendo against the con-
duct of M-. Catneron and hie friends
In the eyes of .the law so far these
are innocent of any wrong doing,
though we will_not say that public
opinion justifies, the assumption o
innocence. -

the Act or the Gloarernment- Flow -
ever we do not say that the Fran-
chise Act is perfection,, still leas do
wo agree with Mr. Cameron that it
should be abolished and the Pro-
vincial lists used. The inherent
principle of the Dominion Fran-
chise act is one that we quite agree
with -that the Federal parliament
shall be the judge and formulator
of the conditions on which its 'owns
•members shall be elected. It is
monstrous to assert that the inferior
or Provincial legislatures shall de-
termine by whom the members of
the superior or Dominion Parlia-
ment shall he elected. It would be
as if the tail should wag the dog
ipeteed of the dog wag the tail.
"One of the thing; the Dominion
Frauchise Act does not provide fo
is due publicity of tba preliminary
lists and of times and places a
which Courts of Revision are to be
held. Publicity is one of the safe-
guarde by which the rights of the
people are protected. Every faeil.i-
ty, except publicity, is given
now for electors to have their
names put on the lists. If
any party thinks its adherents do
not take sufficient interest in "the
cause" to have their names put on
and the party spends money to pay
the expenses of those who will not
in the first instance get their names
on, it is not the fault of the Act or
of the Government. After the
preliminary lisle are made out they
should be distributed in the various
municipalities and contain "notices
of the times and places where
Courts of Revision would be held.
Members • of every municipal
council should be provided with
them, the different Riding political
associations also. And full and
ample notice given in other ways of
the times and places of holding the
Courts of Revision.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
What with this manufacturer and
that one wanting a reduction of the
tariff on certain articles they are
interested in and a clamor for the
reduction of letter postage to two
cents, and the doing away of canal
tolls, and the excise and tariff on
spirits through prohibition, though
they would be used so long as they
are made and sold iu the adjoining
country separated from us by only
an imarginary line, we are in danger
of having the Dominion revenue so
curtailed that direct and decreased
taxation would result were all their
demands acceded to.

made against the Minister himself,
but even were there, the "reptile"
manner of attempting to poison

'grossly un-Britiah and worthy of
the severest condemuation.. The
Grits want him to resign, charge
bine with dishonorable conduct
because he will not give color to
false chargee, which he wouldhe
doing if he complied with their
senseless clamorings. But there is
no charge formulated against him,
yet he is adjudged guilty of Very
grave offences,. by Grit partisans
who constructively implicate him in
as yet unproven charges against
even his subordinates. Why not
ask Mr. Laurier to resign, against
whom, in election petitions filed in
the courts, charges are made of col-
lecting money in the United States
to corrupt constituencies in Canada?
Why not ask Sir Richard Cart-
wright to resign against whom simi-
lar charges are made? Why not
)ask M. C. Cameron to resign against

SYaIPATIIY.-In the several
churches in town last Sunday feel-
ing -references were made to the
severe and momentarily expected
fatal illness of Sir John A. Mac-
donald. We do not think there is
a man in Canada who does not
share iu the general regret at the
affliction that has overtaken the Old
Chieftain, as there is not a mars in
Canada who does not sympathize
with Hon. Alex, McKenzie in his
physical affliction. A man's a man

Fate. It issued a dodger announo
ing the death of Sir Johu A.
Macdonald. At time of writing,
Tuesday afternoon, the old Chief-
tain was alive and easier, able to
take nourishment. It is possible
that the Old Man may out-geueral
again those who would kill him off
by cold type. It seems certain, how-
eyer, that Sir John in any event
will be incapacitated from further
work.
CIGARS. -Mr. J. W Riter has
coneet.ted to hotline cigars for the
trade. We have been made the re-
cipient of samples of two brands
"The Bouquet" and "Artiste".
The Bouquet is Riter's special brand.
It has a fine aromatic ordor, is a free
smoker and possesea a goodly share
of the requisites sought for by those
whose conscience and palates will
allow them to enjoy a good smoke.
The Artiste is also superior goods
but as both samples are before us
we must refrain from expressing an
opinion about it. "Were t'other
dear charmer away" we might not
be so reticent. As Mr. Riter deals
direct wilh the manufacturer it
should be iu the interst of the trade
to call on him.

SulotnE.-Thursday morning Pa-
trick Carbort aged about 31, unrnar-
ried,son of Mr. Thos. Carbert of Hal-
lett, a few miles from Clinton, com-
mitted suicide by shooting himself
through the head. Various surmis-
es are aenigned as to the reason.
One that the rash act was superin-
duced by melancholy arising from
$llness, auother that it was from au
entanglemeut arising out of a love
ffair. He lived with his parents and
his domestic relations were of the
pleasantest kind, and he was held in
very repute by all who knew hire.
Whateverthe reason for his taking
his life in his hands let us hope
that it was done in a momentary fit
of irresponsibility. We extend our
sympathy to the afflicted family.
