The. Washington %nth- orittee aro welcome to investigate the Domioion tariff law, but it is insisted that there is no discrimination against the United States. What will happen if the United States imposes the maxi- mum eohednles is another matter. Bat it will be the United States that will strike the first blow, It doesn't look as if the tactics that suooeeded in bringing a divided. Germany to terms, that are likely to succeed in oompeiling oonoes• Bion from Franoe,were to win a similar oongnest in Canada. There ought to be a bargain with Oanada,.not a oontraot scoured under duress.—Boston Herald, Without discussing the personal or party aspects of the Foster-Maodonald verdict, it is a matter of pnblio import ance that a strict view should be taken of the obligations of trusteeship, and of the handling of trust funds. Mr, Justice Magee'sdeolaration against the accept• awe of commissions from more than one party to a transaction are also of praotioal interest and of far-reaching importance. The aooeptanoe of doable commissions, he says, "hasfor a long time past been quite too oommon, and has been permeating to a large extent the commercial life of the country. So much is that the case that last year the Dominion Government passed an Aot making it a oriminal offenoe to take a doable commission," These observa- tions are as applicable to pnblio as to private transactions, and the principle laid down by the judge is the only sound basis for the transaction of public and private business.—Toronto Star.

MARCH 8, 1910 NOTES AND COMMENTS Tri tw, WINGHAM 'L'llllll?l , DXARQXX a, 1310 loophole for trouble, as there is no men - time of gloves in bylaw or agreement, Had the bylaw distinctly said that it was to aid Mr Pringle in the mannfao• tare of -gloves, I feel confident the IMO - payers would have approved of it. Yours truly,. PROPERTY (WAER, Wingham, Feb'y 26, 1910, Hon. Mr. Cushing explained the rea- son of his resignation in the Alberta Legislature, and a lively debate took plaoo, in which Mr. Boyle joined the ex. Minister in attacking the Government's railway policy, which was defended by Premier Rutherford and Attorney -Gene- ral Cross. Instead of a new law being deolared in force the moment it is approved by the Legislature, a month will be allowed to elapae to enable the public to become acquainted with it, in future, if a new Aot to be introduced by Attorney - General Foy is filed on the Statute Book. This will, however, make the "ignorance" plea an almost impossible one. The customs revenue of .Canada has broken all records. The first eleven months of the year olosed with a total -.revenue of $54,081,937, which is more than half a million dollars beyond the previous high-water mark made in 1907. It is confidently expected that when the • year closes, Maroh 31, the ouatome ool- leotiona will have amounted to $60,000.- 000. The gain for the first eleven months this year amounts to $11,461,- 228. Daring the month of February al- one the collections totalled $5,174,824 being an increase of $1,071,176• Representatives from all over the province to the number of 55, inoluding Liberal members of the Legislature, attended the meeting of the Provinoial Liberal Convention committee which was held in Toronto on Thursday of lest week. The object of the meeting was to fix a date for the Provinoial Convention and after discussion this matter was referred back to the General Reform Aesooiation of Ontario. This was a wise move on the part of the Committee. With the elections at least two years distant there is no need for a Provincial convention. More good can be accom- plished by holding a Provinoial conven- tion a few months prior to the elections. The leadership of Hon. A. G. MacKay was unanimously indorsed by the party, and alsothe entire committee. Party patronage oommittees will re- oeiee a small jolt very shortly if a billto be proposed by Hon. J. J, Foy becomes law, ne it will in all likelihood. Mr. Foy's measure will provide that all local regestrare, clerks of the Crown, clerks of the bounty 'arts, of the Surrogate, and other courts of the eame kind, and a lot of the smaller officials in the service of the Attorney -General's Department Will have the right to appoint their own deputies and staffs always, of course, subject to the approval Of the depart - merit. When the Aot goes through, as lt, of course will when it is introduced, the officials affaoted Will, it is ander* stood, receive a oommnnioation from t ce department urging that ability only shall have weight in making these appointments, the nine days' trial Of the rester. Macdonald libel suit mems to an end at 8 46 o'clock On Saturday night with a 'rotary for the editor of The Giobe. The verdilt of the jury was as follows: --"'Ere, the lnry, do agree that, in view of the evidence presented to as, Mr. Macdonald Waw justified in making the Statements published by him in the Globe of the 21st Ootober, 1908, and that, while Mr, Poster noted in good VOICES OF THE PEOPLE. The Editor does not hold himself responsible for the opinions expressed by correspond- ents. Nor does M. always hold the same views as expressed by correspondents. To the Editor of the TIMus:— Dear Sir. I4 reply to Mr, Gurney's omwwunicatiou of last week, would state that WILY 1 feel it very small pebble on the beach to take any part whatever in thee question at stake. I am no glove maadate,•but you know sometimes the small things are use to oonfound the mighty, and oleo ne working men are taking no keen an interest in this qu' stion, as are the riob and influential Through the courtesy of our town olerk, have read very carefully the. Pringle bylaw. Mr, Gurney mentioned one obtuse. Will yen allow me to mention one be omitted, vis: --"That the said Mr. Pringle will rebuild and improve his former mann- factoring industry," And that industry, Sir, we claim, was tannery and glove works. The first oommnnioation did not state that Mr. Pringle owned the sewing maohines, but other machinery, mole as tables, pulleys, shafting, and all power conneotions, (intending trans• mitten) without whioii the sewing ma chines would be useless, unless run by foot power. Mr. Gurney states that he never asked favors from the town, neither did Mr. Pringle, but was ap- proached by members of the. Cannoil, asking biro to consider the question of a loan. Here is a copy of a resolution passed by the Town Connell July 18th, 1909, and certified to be right by J, F. Groves, Clerk, "Moved by Conn. Elliott, seoonded by Oonn. McKibben, that the offer of Mr. Pringle to ereot a building and put in a plant valued at $7,000 in oonsideration of a loan of $4,000 at 4 per Dent interest, payable in ten annual instalments, be submitted to a meeting of the ratepayers to be held next Friday evening.—Carried." This motion was submitted to the ratepayers the following Friday evening, when he waa told to go ahead and build. Having impltoit faith in the ratepayers present he went ahead, the building was nearly completed when the agreement with the town was drawn up and signed. Now, Sir, one thing more. When Mr. Pringle is having so motile trouble and bother over such a comparatively small affair, enoh as a loan of $4,000 for which he pays 4%, it is not much encouragement for other manufacturers to locate in our sung little town. Now thanking you for spade given. I have, Sir, the honour to remain Whitechurch, Feby, 25, 1910. To the Editor of the Times:— Dear Sir,—My neighbor and I were saying the Sunday school lesson and this is a verse, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them," exists in theory more than practice. Oat law makers are supposed to make laws to protect the weak against the strong, A. man wanted to borrow $20 to buy seed brain and of course some person bad to baok his note. The bank- er handed him out $18.40, charging interest on the $20. If you, Mr. Editor, hired the use of ten horses and paid for them, would you be satisfied to have only nine working for yon. I think not, and my neighbor and I want a change made to proteot the weak. Thanking you in anticipation. Yours truly, JUSTICE. To the Editor of the Timms: Dear Sir,—In reference to Mr. Pringle manufacturing gloves, I am in a posi- tion to kno w 'the opinion of a good number of our ratepayers and in voting for Mr. Pringle's by-law, they did it with the fall intention that he ehonld use his frotory to the beet possible ad- vantage to himself. It was to help Mr. Pringle, not to make trouble, that the by-law was oarried. Our townspeople deem it a pleasure to help a fellow- oitizen. There were men ready to offer Mr. Pringle the money had the by-law failed to carry. At the same time Mr. Pringle ehonld have made himself per• featly safe so there would have been no A 5o -cent bottle of Scolt's Emulsion New Health and Strength for Weak and Ailing Girls given in half -teaspoon doses four times a. day, mixed in its bottle, will last a year-old baby near- ly a month, and four bot- tles oirer three months, and will make the baby strong and well and will lay the foundation for a healthy, robust boy or girl.

Toronto, March lst—City Cattle Mar- ket,—The total receipts for to -day's market were: 72 loads, with 1,207 head of cattle, 154 sheep and lambs, 400 hogs, and 187 calves. Business was slow, but prices firm. The drovers are undoubted- ly paying high prices in the country, and therefore are holding out for high prices here. The local butcher buyers, prob. ably noting the Change to very mild weather the past couple of days, are not disposed to load up with too mnoh stook on hand, and hence the slower trade. With the comparatively light rue, the drovers in many oases deotded to hold their cattle for the week -end markets, rather than make any concessions in their prioee. The markets, therefore, closed firm, though there were quite a few loads left over unsold. The following are the quotations: Exporters' cattle— Per 100 lbs.
