THE WEEK IN PARLIAMENT.
The business of Parliament during
the past u'eek was almost exclusively
confined to government bills andpri-
vate motions. Little time was given
to supply. Mr. Tette called attention
to the introduction of. pelia:eel meth-
ods at the Sorel shelmild:ng vairhs.
A long dis,:ussem t ok piece in "re-
gerd to tr. ielt. coegestion in the West.
it wes pointed out by eastern mem
ers that the West was noworse oil
in th!s respect than the east. The
Canadian Pacific Railway, according
to well informed members, had done
everything possible to meet the grow-
ing demands upon its service but it
is ,alinost iniposeible to purchase roll.
ing -stock. So far as the government
is concerned it has not ventured to
take any official step to solve the
question of transportation.
The labor troubles in Montreal were
ventilated. The labor bureau was
shown to be utterly helpless to meet
such a situation unless the disputants
are willing to settle their differences.
The goverament's bill to provide for
the appointment of a railway com-
mission was coesidered.
The bill to aid in the settlement, of
railway strikes was also advanced to
the committee stage. The 'measure
will accomplish li.ttle more than legis-
laticm now on the statutes. -
At Sorel extensive improvements
have. -been made at a cost of over 525o
000 and the two railways- the -works
were to serve are bahkrtipt. The Min•-
isthr of Inland. Revenue happens to be
a director of the bank which has a
large interest in- the railways.
In the St. Francis 'River the goy-
eroment has taken .upon itself . the
completion of ice piers which are pure.
Iy municipal. The oppositionobjected
to having Dominion funds diverted .for
such 1)urpose:3.
Hon. James Sutherland pledged' him-
self to expend -all moneys voted for
public works and contradicted Hon.
R. Prefontainc'e Cahn that the De
partment of Marine and Fisheries will
administer the Quebec end of the Pub-
lic Works branch.
CONSERVATIVES PROUD
OF THEIR LEADER.
Conservatives, may well feel proud. of
their leader, Mr. R. L. Borden. , The
quiet, unaeseming person, who, two
years ,ago, took epon himself the di-
rection of the . policy of the oppcsi-
tion, has justified the fondest hopes of
his friends. Two sessions were passed
in gaining an experience -which is 11()IV
neekieg itself 'jell in Parliament. No
stronger inan than Mr. Borden occu-
pies a seat in the Commons. He has
forced the Liberal party to take a
standing in their fiscal policy and com-
pelled them to put themselves on rec-
ord . as opposed to a plan involving
the protection of the industries and
labor of this country. Mr. Borden
has one policy for all Canadians and
this position has won for him a repu-
tetion for consistency which is bound
to bear fruit. Ile does not stoop to
the smart tricks of the demagogue but
relies on real ability to carry him
ever rough places. In Montreal, where
Mr. Borden recently, addressed a large
and • highly representative gathering
of the city s leading men, his mune is
on every tongue. The people of isur
commercial metropolis are now ready
to accept the ,Conservative leader as
one of the great men concerned with
Caucida.'s destiny. They feel that in
his hands our interests would be
closely guarded and administered in an
enimpeachable manner, The great
Conservative party has chosen well
and already :the "awing to victory" is
much in evidence under its leader's
well balanced direction. "The flowing
tide is with us,"
INCREASE, IN TARIFF
AND PRICE'S.
Liberal ()raters can no lcmger hope
to deceive the electorate with the
spaciens srgument than an increase
in diity means an increase in price to
the consumer. Hon. William Patter -
Nen started net to prove that such
was the cese, hut his former cabinet
colleague, lion. .1. Israel Tarte, knew
a thing or two about the Minister of
Cuslonie' real opinion and insisted up-
on him giving a straight answer As to
whethis increased tarin itieatit increas-
ed prices. Mr. Pattersou tried to
dodge the issue, knowing how much it
meant to the Liberal catee, but wee
compelleeto tell the truth and admit
that such was not the case. He de-
clared that he never used such aft
argument, which is somewhat open to
question, as "increased tarill-iftereas-
ed prices" has been hie stock in trade
for some time. It is well known that
when the duty was taken ofl binder
twine and wire fenciug there was )10
decrease in tile cost Of the atticles,
It was just the reverse and the farmer

than the investment of a few hundreds
