J, MITCHELL, Editor and Proprietor THE GOVE,RNMENT'S WAY OF DOING IT. Hon. A. 0. Blair, in six years, added $12,000,oi to the debt of the co.ntry, as the result of his experi- ments on the Intercolonial Railway. This large amount has been handed ()ter to Hon. W. S. Fielding for atten- tion. he Finance Minister's duty is to pay an annual interest charge of ,..375,0oo on the amount and Mr. Blair contributes not one cent to meet the expenditure. It naturally conies out of the pockets of the people. Then Air. Blair comes along, after adding set eral millions additionn.1 to Mr. Meld Jig's aheady heavy burden, and pats himself on the bacle because he has an alleged surplus of $96,000. On any other railroad the. 5375,000 inter- est charges would he paid out of the funds. Mr. Blair has Mr. Fielding do it for him. Imtead of a 596,000 sur- plus Mr. Blair is out $375,000, less $96,000, or $279,000. And this has no reference to the amounts improperly charged to capital expenditure during 1502. THE WAY LIBERALS PREFER. It is a matter of cononon notoriety that although British goods entering Canada enjoy a reduction of 33 1-3 per cent., the average duty collected is considerably in excess of that levied on Lnited States imports The British shipper suffers in several ways. In the first place the Fielding tariff was so adjusted as to raise tht duties on hnglish goods and reduci them on American goods. A seconi: injustice to the shilper from the Motherland is itt the excessi‘e vain ation placed on his wares, and the inadequate aseessment of a similar article made in the United States. For instance in 1902 we inif:)orted from Great Britain 650,943 gallons of lin. seed oil and limn the United States 41,9,16 gallons. The ITritish article was appraised by tbe customs at 70c per gal!on, while the American oil, although superior in many respects, was nly valued at 47c per gallon. The goveinment's attenticn has been repe..tedly called to the iniustice of this unbusinesslike arrangement, but it is still in vogue. Hon. Joseph Chamber- lain might have been more disappoint- ed with the Canadian preference if he knew the. wridle story. Linseed oil is one of eany articles similiarly treat - JOS .,PH BRUNET DIISQUALIFIED. Jo eph Brunet, the strenuous Liberal repr4sentative in parliament tor St. ante Division, Montreal, has been ans.ated and disqualified for seven years. lhe decision was reached by At ting Chief Justice Tait and Mr. Justice Lorangcr, after lis- tening to what was, without doubt, the most heinous story 01 elec:ion stealing ever brought to light in Canada. lhe court found that a sy.stematic campaign of ballot steal- ing and personation had been planned at the central committee rooms by the Liberal party and that the arrange- ments had been carried out on this lines suggested ; that efforts were made to defeat justice by spiriting a- way witnesses to the United States and that most irregular practices had bten employed in appeals to the Su- } rone Court of Canada with the horc that the usefulne.,s of the lowei (our. s might be destroyed. The judgment cites that, "gangs of telegraphers had been employed ; cards had been, given them at the cen- tral committee rooms by one Louis li.vierge and they had voted four, f vac:m/05c times in some cases, twen- ty times in others.. It has been prov- ed that Couicelles had voted five or f;ix times and got paid for it by a .n. on Break, signed by Arthur Brunet. In the same way Lalonde and Laporte had 1,een employed and pr,id for passing twtnty votes each. That the respondent Brunet knew of the corrupt acts and countenanced them." lhe forceful aspect of the case is that the whole responsibility of pro- ing the chari.,es fell upon a private aitizen,- Mr. J. 0. 11. Bergeron. The government only intervened to par - Con the chief of the criminals, Arthur Brunet, who was stilt to prison for his trimes. The anreals of the Su- ] reme Court of Canada, which were hiracterized by that tnihnual as cc.n- tenirt of court, were conducted by Naeoleon A. Belcourt, the Liberal M. P. ler Ottawa City. Frain start to f rib It Liberals grett clad Liberals small fig 'red. itt the plot. But justice has teen meted out in a small ineasnre at 1 ast. It remains for the electors to I ow Hon. (has. Fitzpatrick, Minis- ter of Justice, and others who ennui- -% ed at the criminals, that honest Can- adians are not to be disgraced by such olitical debauchery. .10•11.110111.••••••••••• ASHFIELD TOWNSHIP. • Itt Thursday before Xmas the nup- tial ktiot was tied by the Rev.
