Tile N>,ws- RECORD would like to have the law so that electors would be compelled to vote and make canvessiug a punishable offence. Col. Atnyot's bill, on the second reading iu refereece to compul- sory votiug, was defeated un thesecoud reading last Thursday. There "were clauses in the Bill which should never have been introduced, but compulsory" voting will pet be made the law of the land. POLITICAL UNION. The Canadian Prises Association wet in Toronto last week. It would seem that annexationists are to be given no quarters. Mr. M . J. White, of tho Exeter Times, gave not -ice- of a motion to condo:nu Political Unionists, as fullows :— , "I hereby give notice that at the Fri, day morning session of this association I will introduce a resolution condemn- ing the action of that section of the Canadian press, which at present advo- cate annexation to the United States under the guise of continental union, and asking for the expulsion from this association of those Members who have in their papers advocated such disloyal schemes." D. McGillicuddy, of Goderich, was there and took the notice of motion as a personal matter. On this line the only advocate of political union or annexationist member of the frees Association was D. McGillicuddy, of Goderich. Accordingly "Dan" called for trial and sentence, but the case was postponed. It Mr. McGillicuddy does not change his ways between now and the day of judgment he and the Reform party in West Hurom will be lost for ever. GOLD WIN SHOULD 111:' GAGGED. A Now York deapatph tells us that Goldwie Smith is lying in wait for the President with a view of inducing that official to heerkuu to the prayers of the annexationist gang in Toronto. "We are hopeful," said Prof. Smith, "that the Cleveland Administration will meet tis half way in the ]natter of annexation. Were the queetiuu part to a vote in the Dominion I believe a large majority would he returned for a 1(11i1111 with the States. It most coeur' sooner or later. The !moment the union is established there will be an extra- ordinary development of the agric•ul- t.nra1 and mineral interests of the Dominion. \Ve are after a better mar- ket, and we trust that changes will be made in the McKinley tariff law that will ensure freer trade between the two countries. "The public debt of Canada," contin- ued Prof. Smith, "isabout $'28U,Uix),ob10. The country is poor, but has remark- able possibilities. A11 that is needed is American enterprise to open up the mineral and other wealth of the Dominion and prosperity will result. Should Canada he annexed I believe the votes of the,people would Ise about equally divided between the two great parties.,,' It is simply disgusting for Canadians to read seals rot. If Guldwin Smith has eyes to see or ears to hear he must know that Ilse Canadian people are overw•holtuingly, slmost unanimously, opposed to auuexatiun. Why then dues he deliberately Iie shout us? Guldwiu should be gagged. FARMERS AND THE TARIFF. Just now we hear a great deal about the "poor" farmer. Some "farmer poli- ticians"are at it hatniIler and tong• ell• deavoring to prove that Reformer John Kernighan's letter is not to be relied upon, that facts and figures count for nothing. But people with reasouing power can see the difference. Some designing parsons try to slake farmers and townsmen believe that a portion of the taxes raised by their township collectors annually goes into the treasury of the Dominion of Canada. Very few farmers can be deceived by such doctrines. They know those taxes go the township, the county and the province, but not a cent to the Domin ion hovernmt:nt. "But," says one, "Do not farmers pay anything Into the Dominion treasury ?" Certainly they do. One would not find a farmer in Canada mean enough to wish to avoid paying his fair share of the public burdens of Canada; but the point to arrive at is, do they pay more than their shate 2 Let us examine. Mr. ,Justice Armour last summer an• nounced from the Bench at Stratford that the National Policy took $500 out of him yearly, in duties on imported goods. That was the intention of the founders, to throw the burdens on luxuries, and let farmers, mechanics, aid the working classes off as lightly as possible. The farmer under Reform rule paid millions into the public treasury in taxes on tea, coffee, spices, sugars, in short oti almost everything used on the table. L`nder the National Policy these are free. Sugar is almost as cheap as sand : tea and coflee were never so low in price. 'filo ordinary wearing apparel of the harmer, cottons, woollens, leathers, are made at home and are sold more cheap, ly than in any other place where free labor can be had. In the United States they are much higher grade for grade than in Canada. ']'his is proven by the fact that when residents of the United States visit Canada they buy up as much clothing as they require and take it back made up to their homes. The cause of the cheapness of suck articles here is that the raw material is admitted free to Canada. This gives a double benetit. Employment is given at home to mech- anics and artisans, and these in turn consume the produce of Canadian farms and industries. In agricultural implements also the Canadian farmer has a great advantage over other nationalities. According to the Globe, special reports agricultural implements are p r much dearer there than here. That merely tallies with official reports and general observation. Binder twine on the authority of the Globe, as well as on every other, was an average of two cents per pound cheaper TIIEY 111EA N 11 LSINL'SS, The Thompson administration seem determined to transact the business of the country on strict business prin- ciples. When Parliam tit was called together they had work for parliament to do, and immediately proceeded to do it. The estimates were at once laid upon the table, and the House of Commons was at once asked to begin the work of voting supplies. It is un- derstood that other Government busi- ness will he pushed along with equal promptitude. It has too long been a custom with governmentsof all political stripes to mlt,muon Parliament and then dawdle for as week or two at least after the opening day. We have had it mag- nificent illustration of this in Ontario, where five Minute sittings often con- tinue for weeks after the Legislature has met. 1sIr. Foster had his Esti- mates ready promptly this year, and the House started real work at 01500, Another gratifying fact is the re- duction in the mull; asked for front the consolidated funds --that is, for the ordinary expenses of the Government. Least year the estimates called for $37,410,(XJ0; this year for .$ (1P07,((1). The interest on this public debt will be slightly reduced. For the current. year the total interest paid will be .$9,012,- :132. For next year it will be $0,583,710. In both years these soros will be largely reduced by interest received on assets held by the Government. Apart from the redemption of the Unit - lie debt the capital expenditure wyill be larger than during the current year by" abunt a million dollars. 0 U11ll ' NT' '1'01'10S. The report that the lenber of the Op- position in Ontario had resigned is about as truthful as the rumor of four years ago. Mr. Meredith has not re- signed.

An old recipe for cooking fish com- mences with the words "first catch your fish." Uncle Sans shouldn't put Canada on hie bill of fare until she h'as at least nibbled at his bait. The Canadian Gazelle last week strongly endorsed the demand for a fast Atlantic service and says ;—"If the busi- ness men of other centres in Canada fol- lowed the lead of the Toronto board of trade, we imagine it will not be long before a fast service becomes an accom plished fact.." The En,yirs has taken a manly and Christain stand in heeding the list with money for the unfortuuate Marks family, of North'Victorin, Alt•. Marks, Isis daughter end Mother pertsthed in the flames, the two former while en• deavoring to rescue the latter. The action of the Empire is commendable indeed. What we chiefly regret is that Mr. McCarthy Dy his uttorances in regard to the Empire, seemed to give iris conn tontinco to a very unsound idea of the relations between public journals and public !nen. Those relations ought not to be so close as to require one to repudiate the other in case of a dis- agreement. 'l'lto general support given by public (nen and puhlic journals to a party ought to be such as to admit of the free e$pression of the opinions of a11, even where that free oxptession shows divergence..—Toronto Globe, The Empire says:—Although this has been so far and still coutinnes to be generally acknowledged as a real old time Canadian winter, we thought wve were justified in claiming as much clemency from the clerks of the weather as most other folk in northern latitudes, but the following communication to the editor of The Irish Times speaks for il•felf upon the subject, and if British Columbia cannot corse to the rescue Canada will bo compelled to go out of the competition: Sir,—Day after day we see in your paper accounts of snowstorms, frozen rrvers, etc. Tho primroses I enclose, gathered to -day from a ditch by a p'Iblia road, will give you proof of the inial weather we are enjoying on the sea coast of county Sligo.
