President FIerrison h'ts issued a proclamatiou declaring that after Septr. 1st 1892 all freight in Canadian vessels going through the Americen s`Soo" canal shall pay a toll of 20 cents a. ton. Now is the time for the Canadian Government to take a firm stand and intke no further concessions, It is tt que:,Iiun whether it MIS not bad policy to have intimated the possibility of ,boli' hi ng the rebate on all fro;ght passing through the Welland canal that afterward passed down the St. Ltwrouce to the sea board. This rebate be it under- stood is allowed to American as well as to Canadian vessels. There is no discrimination against Ameri- can vessels, If the Canadian poli tion is right, and the best inn• inertial authorities says it is, the closing of the "Soo" canal gates or a toll of 20 cents a ton on Canadian vessels should not prevail over the assertion of our rights. The Cana- dian Government might increase the .tolls on all freight passing through the Welland only and in• crease the rebate allowed on what passes down the St. Lalvrence, and by this or some other means recoup Canadian carriers for the 20 cents extortion by the Americans. It will never do to knuckle down to Uucle Sam. Like all people of barbarian inatincts the more you give the more they want. Ono of their leading lights orated 'the other day that they would not be sat:sfied with getting all Canada ; that their next cry would be "onto the north polo." If they had it just now they would 'cap it with "gland• fathers hat" as an electioneering dodge. To make concessions to the Yankees is like throwing pearls be- fore swine. They do not know a good,thing when thoy got it. They have ,many good things in the prvileges granted Them in the carry- ing trade through Canada both by land and water. We hold the shortest and most economical route to the seaboard from the great \tlrost. The Americans want to get to the seaboard with their farm products. Lest year they shipped abroad 222,915,266 bushels of wheat alone, a large proportion of which passed through Canada. We are willing they should use our commercial highways on equitable terms, on terms similar to Canadians, But, to use a Jacksonian emphasistn, by the eternal tho supremacy of Canada in this Dominion must and shall be preserved. The English. man's house is his castio ; the Canadian's heritage is equally Lis territory. Multiplication of word courtesies with the Yankees only makes them more greedy. As in ninny other cases the first loss is the greater saving. Admitting that Canadian shippers will suffer for a time by the Yankee imposition of toile it their "Soo" canal, it will only he for a few months. Better hair this for slow! (' ne, than to be srteez_d nIl time by our uncenaeionablo shark neighbors, We would any to our ruiol'e, "quit ye like men," and front Sarnia to Vancouver the mightily patriotic refrain, well "done good and faith. fun eervante," shall resound from hill and valley, from forest and plain and penetrate, the very vault )f heaven and meet with the ap- proval.of Onuipotence itself. Let our rulete stand by their guns. Let them iusiet on the rights of Canadian freemen. God is upon the Bide of right and biggest bat- talions. Britain has both, and Canada is as much Britain as any other portion of the earth's surface peopled by the 350,000,000 of loyal British subjects. No surrender of our rights should be the order of the day ; no surrender at the dicta- tion of a foreign power of our un- doubted right to regulate the tariff on our public works, built with our own money and for the benefit of our own people, without prejudice against foreigners. MILITIA—MILITARISM. No rogue who e'er felt the halter draw had good opinion of the law. Even would-be viola:ors of the law havo no good opiuiou of it, or of the means of enforcing reepect for it. There is a .handful of neon in Canada who have no good opinion of the militia. Doubtless these haters of our volunteer soldiers have a hell defined presentiment that they may, in carrying out the loci• cat formulation of their peculiar ideas of liberty, equality and fra ternity, come iuto coutact with the defenders of the peace of the com• rnonwealth and the Queen. These haters and belittlers of the Cana• dian militia are mostly annexation• Lite, and have a wholesome dread that if they kick'od up any monkey b,lsillees of the Itiel kind they would likely meet with the same fate. And the annexationists in Canada who are continually shriek- ing fur the abolition of the militia are as inconsistent in thoir action in this matter as they aro Ill the matter of free trade or auythiug else. They are restless under our prOteCtivg system with its tariff averaging 25o/o and would have free trade by annexing Canada to the United States with its tariff of GOo/o. They are dissatisfied with the Canadian system of militia and would have Canada annexed to the United States where they allege such a sys- tem does not'jievail: But the fact is the militia or volunteer soldier system exists in a more intensified form in the States and is as capable of striking terror into the hearts of evil doors, rioters, rebels or traitors as is the Canadian system. Cana- dian aunexatiouists cannot safely hug the delusion that they could "talk traitorism or act rebellion un der the stars and strides with any ruore impunity than uuder the union jack. Of course it goes without saying that there is wore need for militia in the States than in Canada, for the disaffected in Canada is microscopically small— just large enough to show that Sir Walter Scott's interrogation, "Breathes there a man with soul so dead," etc., might bo answered in the affirmative in Canada by that indefinately small number called a corporal's guard—while in the States these undoairable sort of peo- ple, eo- plcare quite numerous. That Canadian aunexationiats would not get out of reach of militia militarism by annexation is quite evident by existing conditions in the United States. Just across the lines in New York State, in Buffalo and other places, 12,000 militiamen are under arms to preserve tho peace and protect property. A large number aro under arms in the Quaker Pennsylvania state for a similar purpose. In Tennessee state, the militia is also called out for active service t''suppress law- lessness, while a similar Brat° of things pievail in the wild and wool- ly western state of Idaho. A rebel is' a rebel wherever he may be. And those who are acting the part of incipient rebels against the bene- ficent laws of this Dominion and its Constitutions would be rebels even did they have the annexation wish of their hearts gratified. They would find no rest in the United States for the disintegrating forces their hearts ache for. They have a militia thorn as well as in Canada. EDITORIAL NOTES. Tho Hon, Edward Blake, having exhausted himself in his successful efforts in placing Mr. Gladstone in powor in Britain sailed last Thurs- day for Canada, to recuperate and brace himself up prior to his return to England in January when he Lord Salisbury lase formally ten, bred the resignation of himself and colleagues, and Mr. Gladstone has received the royal commands to form a Miuiatry and has named hie colleagues whom he wi111put through a course of sprouts between this and next January when Parliament rnoete for business. If the Wentworth militia bad been called out the other day and bed swept from the face of the earth the fenian hoodlums from Toronto who paraded the streets of "Iiamil- tou shouting "To hell with the Queen!" "To hell with the union jxok 1" a grand service would have been done to civilization end North America. The spread of the use of the bicycle is said to be an evidence of the advance of civilization. It is also an evidence of the advance of the upper portion of the human body. Those who bicycle much acquire a habit when walking of humping their shoulders and stick-, ing their heads forward very much in advance of the perpendicular of their bodies. Before, the Royal Prohibition Comwission the other day, the Rev. Mr. Montgomery in answer to a question said, "I do not believe the Divine law forbids the moderate use.; of wine." In answer to another question he replied, "I believe that a law that would decrecse drunken- ness would be in accord with the Divine law." But there are some sacrilegious people wha would im- prove the Divine law by prohibit• ing the moderate use of wine while they neglect what it sanctions, the ouforcerneut of laws to decrease diuukeuuess. It isa curious anomaly to find many well tueauing people willing to support au amendment to Divine wisdom. Such an etniuontly respectable paper as the 13uslou Traveller, in airing its ignorance of Canada, says, `The real trouble with Canada is that she is ender the domination of a foreign government." Canada, however, is not under the domina- tion of any foreign government, though the Yankees do try to dom- inate us by maliciously mean legis lation. Canada is part of the Brit- ish Empire. If the Traveller means that the distance that separates Can- ada from England makes us foreign- ers to each other it is mightily mis• taken. There is as much affinity of feeling between Canada and Eng- land as there is between Oregon and Maine, And the state of Ore gon is far more dominated by tits powers at Washington 3000 miles away than Canada is by the author- ities at London. Thele is no com- parison. Yet it would scarcely be correct to say the state of Oregon is dominated by a foreign power. A correspondent says the World's Fair will he held in Zurich on Monday and Tuesday, Septeme ber 12 and 13. Every effort is be- ing put forth to make the fair a success. greaseessasaseesesaeseeseeessameetemmeaseasisea MARKET REPORTS. (Corrected every Tuesday afternoon.) CLINTON.
