DEBATING THE QUESTION. and all allied question e were proper' subjects for full enquiry and discusaion, and he gave expression to these views with special reterence to the condition of British agriculture, the royal coua- mission on which has brought to the government's notice, calls for protec- tion from every county in the country. Lord Salisbury's views on the subject are well known to our readers, as we have frequently made quotations trona his speeches showing that he consider- ed Free Trade, under existing commer- cial conditions of the world, a very unsatisfactory fiscal policy for tsreat Britain; and a speech by the Prime Minister, delivered some two weeks ago, was probably more emphatic in that direction than any of its predeces- sors. So unsettled, indeed, has the fiscal policy of Great Britain become in the public rnincl, and so much is it discredited and debated, that the Lon- don Daily News, one of the great Liberal newspapers, conies out in a protest against such attacks on Free Trade, and especially against ueh speeches as that recently delivered by Premier Salisbury, already referred to. It seems especially concerned for the effect abroad of such criticism on the Free Trade policy, and continuing, says : "If Free Trade has produced agricul- tural rule, then a return to protection will restore prosperity. The Marquis of Salisbury can raise the price of corn and therefore of bread, by protective duty. With a president of the hoard of trade who believes that protection is better than what he describes as 'one- sided Free Trade' ; with a president of the local government board who be- lieves it is better than anything; with a Premier who regrets the unconditional repeal of the Corn Laws, and a tiret Lord of the Treasury who iinagines that the government can fix the values of precious metals, we can scarcely he proud of the figures we cut in the eyes of Free Traders abroad." With British farmers everywhere clamoring for protection, with foreign manufactures crowding into the Brit- ish home market and converting the manufactures from Free Trade, with leading men in the British Cabinet publicly spoken Of as avowed protect- ionists, it is perfectly clear that Free Trade is no longer the settled and un- questioned fiscal policy of Great Brit- ain, and, therefore, that Free Traders in Canada can no longer appeal to it as such, and could no longer give any ap- pearance of strength to their position by any such appeal. Free Trade has been given an ample trial in Great Britain and is to -day condemned by practical men and thoughtful states- men in that ccuntry. To appeal to British Free Trade to -day is to appeal to a discredited and moribund policy, and such an appeal inust be a source of weakness, not of strength, to the Free Trade appellants. The Grits of Canada led by Mr. Laurier have been profess ing a consuming desire to build on the British fiscal model of Free Trade, and while the Grits have been thus talking, the people of Great Britain, including some of her greatest statesmen, have been earnestly contemplating the dis- carding of that old model as being no longer fit for practical use. The posi- tion, therefore, in which the Free Trade Grits find themselves, in their appeal to British fiscal example, is one which their opponents can justly con- template with amusement. While the Free Trade theorists of Canada could appeal to Free Trade as the settled and iinquestioned economic doctrine o/ Great Britain, there was at least an appearance of strength in the appeal; but raven then it was Only an appearance of strength, as it was easy to understand and to show that a fiscal policy that might be right for such a country as Great Britain would be ruinous to another country different from Great Britein in all its conditions and surroundings, such as Canada. But now even that appeal with its mere appearance of strength, is no longer available to our Grit Free Treders, for Free Trade is no longer the settled and unquestioned economic doctrine of Great Britain, hut is seriously and severely questioned throughout the length and breadth of the land, and has in the public mind become not only a debatable matter, hut a debated matter. S,he months ego Mr. Cham- berlin, now Colonial Secretary, with- out disavowing Free Trade doctrine, expressly declared his opinion that that Toronto News Peter Ryan was a Conservative and took the stump in behalf of the candidates of that party while holding a lucrative office under the Government, what an outcry The Giobe would raise against him. See- ing that he is a good Liberal and he is fighting the cause of Mr. Laurier, The Globe gives big and approving head- lines to his speeches, and apparently thinks Peter's course a very proper one. Thera are thousands of Sir Oliver's supporters who think other- wise. OURRIONV TOPICS. The best thing Tarte ever did for the Conservative party was to leave It. A vex y swall dose of V'ree Trade has proven too much for the shrewd people of the United States. Duplicity has ever been the policy of weak men. This, tco, is the way in which the Liberals show their weak- ness. Free Trade as they have it in Ireland is the real policy of the Liberals ; but they do not say so. Mr. Laurier speaks on the school question with the voice of Jacob; but if he had an opportuuity to act, it would be with the hand of Esau. By Mr. Laurier's denunciation of La Petrie, the foe of coeruption, he has made Mercierisni triumphant over the Liberal party. The Liberals who will not worship the golden calf of boodleism which has been enshrined in the hearts of the par- ty in Quebec are called Anathema,. Sir Richard Cartwright denounces the manufacturers as robbers. It would seem then, that nearly the entireLiberal party of Quebec is composed of manu- facturers. Why did Mr. Longley give Mr. Laur- ier his assistance in Ontario? He gives the reason when he says he is opposed to confederation. If he thought other- wise he would, he says, favor the National Policy. The Free Trade Liberals taxed Can- adian coal fifty cents a ton. The Con- servatives gave the country free all- thracite cord thereby.remitting a tax of $750,000 a year. ' "Anything to beat the government" is the motto of Dalton McCarthy. After denouncing the French and the Separate Schools, th first, thing he does when he goes to Parliament is to hold a consultation with J. Israel Tarte, the apostle of both, to see if they can- not agree upon a motion of censure. And they generally agree. As pointed out at Smith's Falls by Hon, John Haggart, the calculations of Hon. G. W. Ross betray either blind partizanship or bad arithmetic, both of which are particularly deplorable in a Minister of Education. Mr. Ross de- clares that the national debt takes $10,- 000 000 each year out of the country, whereas the figure is nearer $6,500,00. This is about as near the truth as Opposition orators usually get. Their respect for it is shown chiefly by the distance they keep from it. The rapidity with which Canada' has taken hold of the manufacture of bicy- cles is proof of the ability the country possesses of manufacturing generally. It is only two or three years since it became evident that the bicycle was to become a standard article of use, and since that time a dozen cr more factories have been established and capital has been subscribed and ma- chinery purchased sufficient to supply the demand of she whole Dominion. According to the policy of the Grit party, this is all a mistake. Instead of making our own wheels, we should import them from the Uited States and Englarid. We venture to say there is not one citizen in ten who is not proud of the fact that Canada is a manufacturing country, and who would not be sorry to see a policy ad- opted that would kill off her manu- factories and reduce her to a purely agricultural status.

Read this: "Abont two years ago I suffered with a very severe attack of inflammation of the boweb3. When 1 began to recover I was in a very weak and nervous condition, and suffered intensely with neuralgia pains In my head, which caused loss of sleep,and having no appetite, I Became Very Thin and weak. Fortunately a friend who had used Hood's Sarsaparilla with great bene- fit, kindly recommended me to try it. I did so and a perfect cure has been effected, I am now as well as I ever was, and r would not be without Hood's Barsaparilta in my house for anything." Mits. G. KEEN, 245 Manning Ave., Toronto, Ont. Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the Only True Blood Purifier Prominently in the public eye today. Pills e:asasYs 1°11 bent 1;3 oasYtOtak Hood's McShane, Tarte and Pacaud are the three graces of the Liberal party ; but honest men count them its disgraces. Free Trade as they have it in Eng- land will also give us pauperism as they have it there. If we restrict Chinese labor, why should we remove the bars that shut out the product of Chinese labor? No man ever got rich who sacrificed his material interests to a fanatical theory ; neither can any country. Civil war would be a tame affair to the government of this country by the Tarte-McCarthy combination. Mr. Laurier is on all sides of the school question but the right side. His purpose is to foment disturbance; a statesman would seek to prevent it. Mr. J. Israel Tarte has vouched in Jacques Cartier for his leader's honesty. Well might Mr. Laurier ask to be saved from his friends. The Montreal Witness declares that there are worse than Jimmy McShane clinging to the skirts of the Liberal party. This is a Grit stab at Tarte. On the school question the govern- ment has a policy of peace, Mr. Mc- Carthy has a policy of strife, and the Liberals have no policy whatever. "When I get into power I will settle the Manitoba School question in the sunny way" says Mr. Laurier. Pre- cisely so ; he would make it hot for Manitoba if his pledge to Quebec means anything. The Globe would have its friends believe that there is a split in the Cabi- net. The only foundation for this is that the Ministers, like all Conserva- tives, are splitting their sides laughing at the absurdities of the Liberal policy. In Free Trade England all the tea imported pays a duty of four pence a pound. The same article comes into Canada under a protective duty tariff fi ee. Our impor ts of t.ea in 1804 were 20,551,739 pounds, which had they paid duty at the English rate would have taxed the consumer 81,644,139. Under Free Trade the necessities are taxed; under Protection they are free. One Opposition poet declares that the Liberals are joined together heart and hand for Free Trade, and another asserts in equally had duggerell that they are joined together heart and hand for Reciprecity. There is as much disagreement among t he party rhyrnstere as furlong its etatesinen. It might not look well in poetry, hnt the fart is, that they are joined together heart and hand for boodle. The Free Trade policy does net, com- mend itself to an independent corn mercial authority like the Montreal Trade Bulliten. It declares, "that the introduction of a policy based on the broad lines of British Free Trade would he a fatal mistake, and might bort us into a commerical pitfall from which it would take us years to emerge," Mr. Laurier is urging ua on to the pre- cipice, hut he urges in vain. The Patrons in North Ontario at- tacked the Government for sufsidizing steamers to bring the produce of Aus- tralia into competition with the Cana- dian farmer, That is precisely what has not been done. The steamers are subsidized to take Canadian produce fn Australia end thus enlarge our mar- ket. Against the bringing of Australian pt educe into Canada there is a customs fa riff. Abolish this tariff, as the Patrons and Liberals would do, and competition will strike a deadly blow at agriculture and evefy other in- dustry. If the Patrons want, us to isolate ourselves by living without communication with the outside world in order to prevent competition they are greater protectionists than any country has yet produced.

The Cameron boodle brigade got in some good work in Clinton yesterd,ry. The vacant registrarship assisted Mr. Cameron in his campaign. Two good days pay and a promise of double the amount in the general elec- tion was the mode of warfare used by M. C. Cameron and his friends. If the home market is worth presei v- ing experience shows that it will not do to place it at the mercy of the Liberals. Their policy brought into competition with the Canadian farmer the vast sur- plus production of the United States.
