• T,IRE•TRADF SITUATION.
Everybody will agree that w°e in Can.
'aide have been passing through e most
critical period of vote mereial depression
"tat while it is well for us to face bold-
ly the linaocial trouble, we have only
to look at other countries to leave that
talar position is net to compare for one
21roineni to the depression elsewhere
We. find that ill the neighboring states

lies, from v high 110 class is eecepted

i' the cased it) England and outer parts
of Great Britain What has "free trade
,as t"nEngland" done fee the people of
aliat cntietry? It has reduced the price
ttf agricultural products, and brought
•
the nn -'-t : to
mitt to tIl d t5 e f the Earn t i., com-
munity, It has lessened the demand
for manufactured articles for the want
of means to buy and it has brought
sore distress to thousands of artisans
,aid laborers and their families. There
are, according to an eminent authority,
iJ ouseeds of peiple on the verge of.
ttarvariori; while there are many more
who would not be rauked as paupers or
etousidered dependent on public charity,
These are the real sufferers. It 'is all
"Sery fine to talk of free trade making
tine necessaries of life cheap; but, if peo-
ple are thrown out of employment,
what avails cheap food or cheap cloth-
ing if they have not the means of pro
curing a supply? So far as the farm-
ers of England are concerned. free im
peetation from foreign countries has
telly aggravated their case, -by cut-
ting down their price's, and depriving
them of a runlerative home market,
mad throwing out of cultivation mil -
hens of acres of arable land that form-
erly produced grain. Lots of young
snen are rushing from the country in-
to the towns and cities, to obtain a liv
stag; this of necessity has iuduced great-
er competion and reduced the price of
labor all round. We say therefore that
a policy of "free trade as in England"
weuld bring matters in Canada simil-
ar to what they are now in Eng -laid
British manufactures, as well as Brit-
ish agriculture, are handicapped by the
free admission of foreign manufactures
and foreign farm products. • Under the
3nf:-handled policy of free. trade, Eng-
land has to contend German and other
European manufactures on the one
lerand, and by Amen' .an supplies of food
eicoducts on the other hand. Thee look
across the border, and see the result of
went industrial revelations in the
meeghbortng states. The history of
strikes among the miners and railway
employes of that countryhas resulted,
an actual starvation to thousands of
people, and in distress to millions more
-in closed mills and• factories, in the
reduction of wages to the employed
aid in the dismissal of thousands, in
general distress among the farmers
and artisans and laboring people.
Now if we in Canada should he, blind
smough to introduce unrestricted reef
Iprotaity into this country, -we must be
weepared to share in the commercial
depression of our neighbors in the
United States. And if we should be,
cajoled into adopting the system of
'--ret trade as in England," our .posi
tion would be even worse; for while a
certain amount of freer trade relations
with the United States might prove
beneficial to us, a system of free trade
would afford to a young country such
hours no outlet of reciprocity; -but,
as it [as worked in England, it would
reseal] distress to artisans and. laborers
'chile it would be destruction to the
;Lrsospects of Canadian farmers.
THE PHYSICtANSHIIP.

MANITOBA SCIIQOI.. QiCSTION.
This long delayed question is now un-
dergoing dieeussioe at Ottawa before
Che Federal Government. The grout.d
ori which a Bearing is beteg rented,
wasthe last decision of the Im.periel
'Privy! Couneil, by which it wesdeclared
eoinpeteet for the .Federal Govertlmeet
to levestig::rte the claims of the Re 0
minority in Mau itobafor Separate schools:
Should the Cabinet. beof opinion, after
beerier, both sides of the question, that
there are sufficient grounds for acced
ing to the demands of the Manitoba
Catholics; -it will be in order for rhe
governnreut to gist: the Manitoba Legis-
lature, which is now Irl session, to so
fat alter or amend the Provincial Act
of 1890 as to accord certain rights to
the minority who claim to be aggrieved,
As we understand tel argument K f
Counsel, it it not asked to repeal the
Provincial Act of 1890 -but, i,i view of
the Privy. Council's deoisiou, the R. C.
minority asks onconstit Iuinnal`grounds
to provide some remedied course of
legislation by which tee Catholics o
llaeitobr, may enjoy* the same rights
and privileges as they did from the
time the Province entered confedera-
tion Mail 1890-a period of twenty
years, Should the Manitoba Legisla-
ture decline to interfere, and still stand,
upon the legislation of 1890, it will then
be in order for the i+.ederel Government
to apply to the Dominiou Parliament
for remedial legislation. We sincerely
hope for the sake of peace that the
Manitoba Legislature will take the
constitutional coni se of yielding so far
to the minority as to sanction separate
schools, as they are legally sanctioned
for the Catholiea of Ortario and for the
Protestant minority in Quebec.
THE PATRONS.
Patrons in the Legislative and Pat-
rons on the hustings seem to be two
distinct characters, if we are to judge
from their recent vote in the Legisla-
tive Assembly, when they vnted to a
man with the Government of Sir 'Oliver
Mowat in favor of maintaining the fee
system It will be within the memory
of every elector that this is one of the
patron planks, namely: the abolition of
the fee system and paying officials by
salary, and it wss publicly proclaimed
by them upom every platform, yet the
frrst opportu..ity presented to them in
the House of putting their principles on
record they deliberately swallowed their
avowed principles and voted for the
system at present in vogue. Their ex
planation that they were ,waiting for
the Fees Commission's report is lame
and unsatisfactory, inasmuch as they
the Patrons, are notresponsible for the
report in any way, and should the re
port favor fees they cannot now, recall
P
their act in voting forthe system; and
on the other hand should the report of
said commission favor the abolition
of the fees system the patrons will be
in a worse predicament tban ever. It
only lends proof to what seemed ail
along apparent, and that is, that the
Patrons are in league with the Reform
party. Tuis is a good warning to Con-
serative Patrons to beware of their act
ions during the coming campaign.
BUSINESS FAILURES IN CAN-
ADA.
(FROM BRADSTREET'S.)
We present to -day to the Canadian
business public a statement of the fail
ures in each province of the Dominion
during the year 1894. Its preparations
has involved much patient work, but
the facts brought into prominence will,
wethink, be of sufficient interest and
value to business mon generally to jus-
tify our Iator in placing them clearly
in view. The statement, as will be seen
gives the number of failures, together
with assets and liabilities. The prin-
cipal cause of failures in Quebec and
Ontario was lack of capital, the num_
bee of business men failing for this rea-
son being in excess of thnse failing for
all other reasons combined, Business
men are now devoting themselves
more closely ode y than in recent years to
their own affairs, the failure through
outside speculation in 1894 being com-
paratively few. Iu Manitoba, lack of
capital was the prevailing causeoffail-
ure; in Nova Scotia lack of capitaland
incompetence; in New Brunswick, in-
competence and lack of capital; and in
Newfoundland, disaster.
