OUR OTTAWA LETTER.
The week saw a division in the Sen-
ate on straight party lines, a Scene
that had only one precedent and that
a few days earlier. The Liberals had
drawn the political lines hard and fast
and with the control of the upper
chamber the responsibility of the Gov-
ernment increases.
The budget debate was continued.
Mr. E. F. Clarke, West Toronto ; Mr.
Robert Johnston, Cardwell ; M. A.
C. Bell, Picton ; Mr. Sproule, East
Grey ; Mr. Kemp, East Toronto ; Mr.
Hackett, West Prince ; and Mr. Rich-
ardson, South Grey, pointed out many
defects in the administration of Can-
adian affairs.
Sir Richard Cartwright attempted I
to dispute assertions made by Mr.
Bell to the effect 'that the records of '
the country had been falsified by the
trade and commerce department. 1VIr.
R. L. Borden replied to the Minister
of Trade and Commerce and shoWed !
that Sir Richard by his own utter- I
ances admitted the accusation was I
correct.
Mr. 131air's management of the Gov-
ernment railway system seems to be
mismanagement of the highest order.
In the year ending June 3oth, igoo,the
Minister used 332,000 ties on the In,
tercolonial. • Then came the election
of November, 1900 and Mr Blair
bought 1,300,00o ties. Of this number
only t 500,000 were used and the re-
maining 80,000 are lying along the.
road. The ties were purchased at
prices ranging from 20 to 29 cents
each. No contract was made with
any. dealer and the tics were supplied
in small lots.
In 1896 Sir Wilfrid Laurier promis-
ed to give serious consideration to
the objections of British Columbia to
the freedom enjoyed by Chinese emi-
grants. Since that time the leader of
the 'Government has had ample tline
to carry out his pledges. Although
reminded many times since of his duty
to British Columbia, the Prime 'Min-
ister has never been induced to give a
straight answer. The Conservatives
have challenged the Government to
safeguard western interests. Hon.
William Mulock, the Minister of Lab-
or, has a chance to remove an. injus-
tice which comes directly in touch
• with his newest department. •
Last year the rate of duty on all
United- States goods into Canada was
12.5 per cent. and the duty on all
British goods was 18.2 per cent. The
duty on dutiable imports from the
United States was 24.83 per cent. and
the duty on dutiable impOrts from
Great Britain 24-74 per cent. The,
preference in favor of Great Britain
is consequently only seven-one-hund,-
redths of one per cent. The result was'
that last year trade with Great Brit-
ain decreased 54,715,409, while from
the United States, exclusive of coin
and bullion, we imported 56,762,733
•worth more of goods. than ever be-
fore. At the same time, exclusive of
coin and bullion, our exports to - the
United States were 5682,150 less than
in 1900. The gain of the United States
over the Motherland in Canadian mar-
kets last year was 510,785,381. And
this is the kind of preference that the
Liberal party support's.

THE VOTE ON THE
RAILWAY DONATIONS.
The railway promoters have so long
had their way in the Ontario Legisla-
ture without opposition from either
party that it Was refreshing to- see
thirty one members stand up in the
House last week and vote against the
donations which the Government pro-
posed. Their votes were of course not
sufficient to prevent the grants going
through but a decided stand was made
against them, the promoters and lob-
byists were defied and the sentiment
of the province found decided explo-
sion on the floor- of the Legislature.
The day when the rarlroe,d donations
could be secured front the Legislature
without a dissenting vote being cast
against them has, we believe, passed
away, and passed away forever.
Mr. Whitney's speech against the
grants was not as pronounced as some
might have desired but Mr. Hoyle's
clear and ringing denunciation of •the
subsidy system appealed to every
right thinking man. In a few words
lie denounced the practice of asking
the House in its dying hours, with
scarcely a word of explanation, to
donate some 11700,000 to a crowd of
promoters. He called attention to
the fact that no statement of the aid
granted from other quarters was
forthcoming and pointed out that in
some instances the promoters were re-
ceiving grants for the same hino, liot
only from the province and the do-
minion but from the inunicipalities as
well. They were frequently able to
complete or almost complete the toad
out of the funds granted by the pub-
lic and then raise money upon it for
their private purposes.
This is Ia.! true statement of the
working out of the present policy and

Mr. A.,14, Sherrington" of Walkerton
spoke on the cultivation of an orchard
and said it was impossible to grow
fruit and grain or .hay on an orchard

tree rehired about two tons of water
every season. •To provide this rnois-
• ture there;Should be -thorough cultiva-
