The argument is ilnuther blunder, and a volunteered testimony to the abso- lute' inability of the Finance 1blinistov to grasp or comprehend the cornmer- c•ial situation.

When Mr. Fielding was in happy ignorance of the fact that Ills minilnunl tariff would apply to Germany, the Gilt -mans, who knew1 all about it better than he did, had their travellers in Canada taking orders for the products of Ger- man industry. But it will he noticed that the Cabinet Minister who gives this profound opinion on the subject of the inability of Germany to sell more goods in Canada hits not it word o say about Canadians and Canadian producers. These are the very et East People to engage his attention It is curious to note the process by which lheGovP riment is extending the low tariff to non -British countries. Three OF four days ago Germany ..fund Bel- giurn received the favour, Yesterday France and Algeria were added to the list. To -morrow another country will he included, and so the thing goes until the "British preference" is all but tint versal. 1t is it gradual backdgwn. This plan of procedure has one dis- tingi islling characteristic. It W .9 the ,natter continually before the Public. Sir Richard after all knows beau to sttike hack. Mr. Fielding, with it somewhat presumptuous air, took the portfolio that long ago had been prom- ised by lair Wilfrid to ,Sir Richard Cart. wright. Now Sir Richard, as Inting Preniler, has to repair, Mr. Fit d ng's mistakes ; and he 1s correcting them one at a time, thus letting the people see by each daily instalment how nu- merous and how far-reaching these blunders have been. Sir Richard's plan is on the whole commendable. Apart from the circumstance that it "rubs it in" to the unhappy Mr. Fielding, it may he, and Indeed ought to be, of service to the country, for it should lend to the placing of the im- portant Department of Finance fn the control of some one who in dealing Willi our great commercial Interests knows what he is doing;.
