Drawing a bow at a venture, we sus- pect that the campaign sheet in question, which has been suppressed, was suppres- sed becnnse Mr. Bordeu olid not relish in the general prosperity, yet when their wages were increased. notably last year, professional Tories of the stamp of Mr. George Taylor hinted on the stump that they were being bribed. It is scarcely necessary to add that the Grand Truett Paciac is not a "grafter" scheme and will not cost the country "overS200,000,- the job of having to convince the fisher- 000," or any such sum. The distances men of Nova Scotia that their interests from Moaetoi to the Pacific Ocean are would be served by makiug those coma as follows:— modities dearer. That higher duties would not and could not increase the price, can be prov- ed by the simple process of asking:—If what you say be true, that we are im- porting too much cheap American pro- duce, pray expiate why American pro- duce should be cheap considering that it is protected up to the hilt; and show us how your nostrum, which on our own admission is of no benefit to the farmer over there, could benefit the farmer here. That done, kindly tell us why, when they were in office, the Tory Chiefs did not put up the Canadian dpties to the McKinley level? Did they too ueglect the farmer, or were they convinced in their hearts of the truth of the doctrine, plain even to the way -faring man, that high duties are of no avail in au export- ing country, the price of whose staples is fixed abroad? In Canada there is what is sometimes called a geographical market for certain 'American farm products, just as along the frontier of the United States there is a geographical market for Canadian products; that is to say, at these points it is more advantageous to import from the neighboring country than to buy at the place of growth in your own. The Americans in New England, for in- stance, buy immense quantities of Cana- dian hay, while the Maritime Provinces buy certain lines of goods from New England and in parts of British Colnm- bia they import hay, eggs, etc., from The diretors of the Dairymen's As - the States immediately south.

The wild- est estimate placed by Mr. Borden on the Mountain section is $60,000 per mile, on the Prairie section 522,000 and on the work east of Winnipeg $35,000, so that the flysheet figure is an exaggeration of an exaggeration. Further, as everyone knows, the Government will build the Moncton -Winnipeg section only, and exact an adequate rental from the com- pany which is to operate it, the sections west of Winnipeg being built by the compauy itself with the aid of Govern- ment guarantees, on which if the enter- prise be anything like so favorable for r the company as the Tories say, the Gov- ernment will not be out a cent. Itis not surprising, then, that sheet No. 8 should have been withdrawn from;distribution. But it is still being circulated in the hope of infi.nencing those who do not pay touch atte.ttion to such matters, on the old theory that everything is fair in political warefare, even trumpet -tongued lying.
