Free Trade, as the Liberals practice
it, means a tax on tea, sugar and coffee
and coal, which an intelligent protec-
tive policy admits into the eountry
free of duty.
Canadians carried in 1877, life in-
surance policies aggregating $85,687,-

representing $:305,101,430. Yet Mr.
Laurier says we are poorer that when
the Liberals misgoverned us.

The Stratford. Herald, in discussing
the Mitchell Recorder's return to the
Liberal fold asks for a definition of its
position on the 3lanitoba school bill,
as Ivell as that of Mr. Erb, the Liberal
candidate. The Recorder cannot speak
for Mr. Erb, but defines its own stand,
and states that Mr. Erb will not receive
its support unless he opposes the Mani-
toba school bill, as well as all forms of
sectarian education. Now THIS TIMES
can possibly throw a little light on the
subject•. We have it from good
authority that Mr. Erb, at a Liberal
caucus, in a certain hotel in St. Marys.
on a certain Saturday, is reported to
have said that the bill does not go far
enough. and if electedhewould support
a measure giving the minority of
Manitoba greater redress than that
offered by the Iate Government. Can
Mr. Erb deny this ?e

In spite of the sad pictures the Lib-
erals are painting of Canada's trade
everything tends to show that it is
constantly improving, pauticnlarly in
those branches which interest the far-
mer most directly. For instance, we
shipped from Montreal this year 91,272
cattle, whereas in 18111 the shipments
numbered 88,03' 5 head and in 1893 only
83,322. But a still greater improve-
ment is shown in the horse trade, the
exports at that point were 1,660 in 1893;
5,623 in 1894 and I3,203 in 189.5. C -ratify -
Ing as this increase must be it is less
than the increase in the sheep trade.
Of these there 'were shipped from
Montreal in 1893 only 3,743, this trade
jumped up in 1894 to 139,780 and in
1895 it still further increased to 210,-
607. The farmers are feeling the be-

ment on their behalf. •

The St. John, N. B., Globe opposes
the tariff on beef by charging that it
tends to ='aise the price of beef in that
market by three cents a pound. The
Sun replies as follows: -
"We submit that if the duty raises
the price of beef to the consumer by
three cents, it also raises the price
received. by provincial farmers and
the local butcher. -We do not suppose
that the whole of the duty is added
to the 'price, but if it were it would be
added to the selling price of the home
grown animal, as well as to the sell-
ing price of • the imported beef. If
the abolition of the duty would bring
clown the pi ices of beef by three cents

RIGHTS OP MINORITIES.,
AN IMPORTANT STATEMENT PROM
SIR LEONARD Trr,T,uY ON THE
MA;aiITOI3A SCHOOL CAsE. i
Aiay fair discussion of the Manitoba
school question leads back to the
time that Rupert's Land became a
Province of Canada. The claim of the
minority depends upon the compact
of union and the controversy involves
historical questions as much as educa-
tional policy.
Manitoba became a province of Can-
ada in July, 1870, as a result of leg-
islative
egislative action by the Canadian par-
liament in the preceding winter
session. 'Though the --act of union is
an imperial statute, the terms were
adopted by the Canadian parliament
on the reeommendatiou of the gov-
ernment of the day.
Not one member of the ministry
as constituted in the winter of 1870
min the present government, Only
one member of the council which
was responsible for the Manitoba act.
is in the present House. Only four of
the twelve are now living.
Sir Hector Langevin, in "his brief
speech on the Remedial Bill, stated
that the compact with Manitoba con-
tained a distinct pledge that the k
rights of the Roman Catholics as to
separate schools should bepreserved
to them. 11' 1r, Mitchell, in one of
his addresses in Northumberland a
few weeks ago, gave still _}Wore em-
phatic testimony to the salve effect.
Mr, Aiken has not, so far as we
know, made any statement. The
other one of the four is Sir Leonard
Tilley, who was in the winter of 1870
one of the three most influential
members of Sir John A. Macdonald's
government. With the view of
obtaining from him a statement of
his view as to the original compact
with Manitoba, arepresentative of
the Press called upon Sir Leonard re-
cently at Isis residence.
"Would you consent to make •a
statement based on your own recol-
lection of the compact with Manitoba,
as it bears on the school question ?"
Sir Leonard was asked,
aaI have no objection to that," he
replied ; though as I have not quali-
fied myself for discussing the measure
now before parliament, I would pre-
fer to lease to others the discussion
of the details of the Remedial Bill."
"In my opinion," Sir Leonard
added, "we must, in order to consider
the question fairly, go back to the
time of the union of the other pro-
vinces in 1867. The subject of the
privileges of the minorities in respect
to schools was first dealt with by the
Quebec and London conferences, and
the arrangement with Manitoba was
clearly understood to be on the same
lines."
a Well, as you were a member of
the Quebec and London conferences,
suppose we begin with thein,"
"At Quebec when we were deciding
which subjects should be assigned to
the Ioeal legislatures and which
should be left with the general par-
liament, it was proposed that educa-
tion Ile given to the provinces. Then
the question arose at once about pro-
tection to the religious ininorities in
upperand lower Canada.
"I.n the old province of Canada,
whieh included Ontario and Quebec,
protection was afforded by the fact
that the minority in one part was the
majority in the other, and any dispo-
sition to do injustice in one section
was thus held. in check, But it was
felt that if each province were given
absolute power in this matter, the
minorities might suffer.
"aI may say that the question was
discussed as one affecting the upper
provinces only, and that it was
brought up by Mr. (afterwards Sir
Alexander) Galt in the interest of the
Protestant ininoritfy* in Lower Canada.
He was a member for one of the east-
ern townships, and was regarded as
the spokesman of the Quebec minor-
ity. In the 'convention he was very
outspoken and emphatic, pointing out
that the Protestants would object to
an arrangement which would leave
their schools entirely under the con-
trol of the majority in lower Canada.
After some discussion Mr. Galt pro-
posed that the clause assigning edu-
cation
thlcation to the provinces shouldbe made
to read as follows :
Education ; saving the rights and privileges
which the Protestant or Catholic minority in
both C'anadas may possess as to their denorni-
national`schoo's at the time when the union
goes into operation.
"This was adopted by general con-
sent."
"But in London you renewed the
discussion, of course :"
"Yes. When we met there Mr.
Galt said that he was not yet satisfied
that the minority, which. be repre-
sented, was fully protected. There
was no way provided for enforcing
the provision agreed on at Quebec.
He wanted a clause put in to provide a
remedy in case the privileges were
withdrawn. So when we reached
the education clause in the Quebec
draft as he had amended it, he pro-
posed these additional words";
And in any province where a system of sep-
arate or dissentient schools by law obtains, or m
where the local legislature ay hereafter adopt
a system of separate or dissentient schools, an
appeal shall he to the governor -in -council of
the genera' government from tho acts and
decisions of the local authorities which may
effect the rights and privileges of the
Protestant or Catholic minority in the matter
of education. And the general parliament
shall have power in the last rosort to legislate
on the Behind.
In Mr. Pope's Confederation Docu-
ments yon will find this clause repro-
duced in Mr. Galt's handwriting just
as he submitted it. Underneath is
given in the original writing Sir AlanAlanaedonald's Inemorandutn of the vote
taken on it."
:Sova Scotia. Yes,
Now Brunsvrd.ok. Yes,
('anada. Yes.
This is part. of the dth sub•scction of 43
clause.

ers:- .
"I am mewed, teetotally opposed, to

remuneration of American markets.

"So far as I can help it," said Mr.
Blaine, in the next paragraph, "I do not
mean that the people of Canada shall be

of the case should be understoodbe-

Manitoba delegates and the govern-

Sir Donald Smith went out i,to Fort
Garry as a commissioner of aur gov-
erniuent, and had agreat deal to do
with the arrangements for the coix-
ference -between the Manitoba dele-
gates and the government. You will
see by the statement made by him
the other day in parliament that he
strongly supports what I have said
as to the solemn contract we made qt
that time.
"As to :the present issue on the
School question lvonld yon be willing
to make a statement of your views?
Sir Leonard observed that he had
not taken part in political discussion
for eleven years and had no particu-
lar ambition to do so now, but he had
clear views as to the duty of the
country in the matter and saw no
reason for concealing them.
"It appears to me," he said, "that
there can be no question as to the
rights ' secured to the minority of
Manitoba by the constitution, and
since the highest court in the empire
hasdeclared that there is a grievance,
I cannot see why redress should be
refused, I look at it as ai solemn
compact between the parliament of
Canada and the people of Manitoba,
and I think it would be a great mis-
fortune if it should hereafter be
shown that any of the constitutional
engagements or compacts should be
violated by the neglect or refusal of
the Dominion to carry out its under-
takings."
i Sir Leonartl went on : "It seeps to
same cause my observation has been that
many of both parties who oppose Re-
medialeLegislation do so because they
are opposed to separate schools. 1
cannot help e p thinking that when the
people come to see that it is not a
question of policy; at all, but a ques-
ion of preserving the constitution
and maintaining a solemn compact,
they will not condemn the principle
of Remedial Legislation, whatever
view' they may take of other matters
of government policy. I know that

These are the words of one of Sir Rich-
ard Cartwright's American friends. Mr.
Blaine said, in effect, that the people of
this country must join the United States
before they could gain access to" the
"market that is sacred to our people."
The alternative may be ettitable to Mr.
John Charlton, the Liberal' M. P. who
wrote to American congressman telling
them Ilow they might make Canadian
lumbermen close up their mill. It map
be satisfactory to Sir Richard Cartwright,
who bas said that worse things might

"lt seems to me that sympathy

Protestants their separate schools,

justified in doing so. t, from having anything like a policy.
"As to the Remedial Bill, I do not Their cry was "anything • to defeat the
flatter myself that I am as competent Government." The subsidiary cries
as some others to discuss its details, changed in the various localities. While
Sir Richard would bo warringfor straight
Free Trade in one section of the country,
Mr. Laurier would be assuring the peo-
ple of another section that the 'Welts
were not going to kill the Protec-
tive Tariff. The people believed neither of
them, and in 1891 the Government of Sir
John Macdonald was triumphantly re-
turned.
At the present time Laurier, Cart-
wright, Charlton and the other Liberal
campaigners aro crying to the people of
Canada, "Give us a chance. Turn the
Government out. We don't quite know
what we're going to glee you, for wo
haven't decided amongst ourselves. But
it'll be something that you'll remember."
That's just it. The people of Canada
remember only too well the state of the
country under the last Liberal Govern-
ment. They know that the -Liberals and
their friends the Americans; the gentle-
men who furnish thousands of dollars to
the Liberal campaign fund, will play hob
with this count* if they =get a chance.
Clearly, Canada has to fear the United
States and its •friends the :Liberals. No
sane man thinks Wilfrid Laurier to be
anything Iaore than a figure head. His
wicked partners, the Quebec Liberals, the.
men who learned politics In Pacaud's
school under Mercier, would make suoh
a raid on the Treasury, if they got the
chance, as would make the people, of this
country to look in aghast. Meroiey was
Mr. Laurier's greatest friend. Pacaud,
who blackmailed a railway contractor, is
another. It. was of seen like these that
Hon. Alexander Mackenzie when premier
said: -
"Friends expect to be benefited by
offices they are unfit for, by contracts
they are not entitled to, by ndv.anccs not
earned.
"Enemies ally themselves with friends
and push the friends to the front.
"Some attempt to storm the office.
"I hale offended at least twenty par-
liamentary friends by my defence of the
citadel."
There was an honest Liberal, the
leader of the party, who told the truth.
What was his reward? His followers
treacherously turned' him out of the posi-
tion of leader. They installed , Hon. Ed -
they have no trade policy. At the elec-
tions of 1887, the Liberal party had a
cross-eyed tariff policy. Sir Richard was
for a revenue tariff with Free Trade as the
goal; Mr. Blake, at Malvern, found that,
In consequence of the largo revenue re-
quirements, high duties were indispensa-
ble, and Fre Trade therefore impractica-
but it certainly seemed to me that
the offer made to Mr. Greenway's
Government by Sir Donald Smith
and his fellow commissioners was not
unreasonable."
In closing the interview Sir Leon-
ard said : "Personally, I have not
taken an active part in politics since
I left the ministry an 1885. It is
true that my recollections and views
have to do with practical politics,
but I do not see why I should refrain
from expressing them o n that
account. Whatever the effect might
be in the impending contest, I would
be only too glad if what I have said
should lead any supporters of either
party to look more closely into the
history of the Manitoba question.
Those who do so will, I think, conte
to regard the matter no longer as a
question of separate schools against
non•sectariana schools, but will see
that the real. question is whether as a
nation we intend; ;to;; keep faith or
break it.
It is said that M. C. Cameron has
been offered the Registrarship of
Huron in the event of his being de-
feated in West Huron in the approaeh-
ing eleetion. Who says there is not a
coalition between the. Ontario Govern-
ment and the Dominion Opposition?

Canadian Pork.
No amount of adulatory talk about
the angelic disposition of ltir. Laurier
and the harmlessness of his tariff re-
form ideas can be half so entertaining
as the proofs the country has of its
great progress under the National
Policy. To take but one of them, let
us look at the hog -raising industry.
Last fiscal year the exports of this
industry were as follows :--
Live hogs $ 7,502
Barrelled pork 07,541
Bacon 3,546,107
Hams 260,607
Lard. 104,563
Total $3,980,380
Imports 85,070
Net exports $3,001,310
That is, while the value of our ex-
ports was almost $4,000,000, that of
our imports was less titan $100,000.
Goingback to 1877, the year before
the doption of the National Policy,
we find that our foreign trade in bogs
and hog products stood thus :-
Exports - ... $1,786,681
Imports 1,600,061
Net exports . - ..$ 125,720
That Is, our net exports ill 1895 were
above 31 times what they were in 1877.
The National Policy has made the dif-
ference. A duty of one and a half
cents per pound on live hogs, and of
two cents on barrelled pork, °aeon,
hams, shoulders, sides, and lard, put
a stop to the big business done on this
market by pork -packers in the United
States. Under the Iee of that duty
has grown up an export trade of our
own amounting now to nearly $4,000,-
000 a year, and certain to be many
times that before we are much older.
POLITICAL COURAGE AND POLI-
TICAL PUSILLANIMITY
The Winnipeg. papers announce the
dissolution of the law firm of which
the Ilon. Hugh John Macdonald has
been the head for many years. Mr.
Macdonald retires from the business
altogether. In thus burning the bridges
behind hint the new Minister of the
Interior adopts a course that every
courageous and hopt'ful politician
would select under similar circum-
stances, He has abounding confidence
in the ultimate triumph of the Con-
servative party, no matter what may
be the fate of the Remedial Bill, and
in that confidence be finds the touch-
stone of his patriotic determination to
stick by the party in fair weather and
foul. The course pursued by Mr. Mac-
donald, as well as the decisive action
of Itou. M. Taillon, Postmaster -
General, is in striking contrast to the
half-hearted coup of Sir Oliver Mowat.
If the latter really believes the Liberal
party is going to win in the pending
contest, why doesn t he live up to his
belief and inspire the rank and file of
his party with the confidence thatsuch
an action on his part would engender ?
The only inference,; that can be ad-
duced from Sir Oliver's political pusil-
lanimity is that lie himself has serious
misgivings as to the triumph of the
Liberals, so serious, in fact, that he is
prepared to handicap the party with
the discouragement that attaches to
his pusillianimous action rather than
run the risk of losing bis grip on the
Premiership of Ontario. The risk be
would take must have been a deter-
sninin; factor with Sir Oliver when
he was deciding on the lines of con-
duct he would assume in the present

Some few weeks ago, THE TIMES
stated that an agitation was gaining
favor in South Huron, to induce Mr.
George McEwen, reeve of Hay town-
ship, to offer himself as a candidate in
the approaching Federal election, either
as the choice of a convention or as an
independent candidate. The Clinton
New Era took the natter up and labell-
ed the report a Tory dodge, eminating
from that quarter. A meeting of the
Liberals of the riding held at Bruce -
field on Wednesday, bears outourcon-
tention that the Tories had nothing to
do with the agitation and that it start-
ed with the Liberals. There was a
large attendance at the meeting. The
signal for the battle was sounded when
Mr. Moselle, of McKillop, moved that
the meeting endorse their action of a
year ago in making Mr. McMillan the
nominee of the convention. At once
there were hall a dozen irreconcil-
ables on their feet all clamoring for
another convention, supporting two
"dark horses" one labelled George Me -
Ewen, of Iiensall, and the other Wm.
M. Gray, of Seaforth. The row grew
in proportion as each attempted to air
his views. Mr, McMillan spoke forcib-
ly to the point endeavoring to pour oil
upon the troubled waters but it was no
go. He then resigned as nominee of
the convention, and the president has
called a convention for the 20th inst.,
at Brumfield, where a battle royalwill
be fought. There is great dissatisfac-
tion and if Mr. McEwen does not get
the convention, his friends (and they
are legion,) may induce hint to run at
all hazards.

to the House of Representatives which
aims more effectually to bar out Can-

admission of the products of the United

London May 11. -The despatch from.
Detroit with reference to the cure from
Bright's disease and blood poisoning of
Mr Langley, of this city, by the use of
Dodd's Kidney Pills, has recalled the
wonderful facts of the case to the
citizens, among whom Mr. Langley is -
well known. It has reminded them
that Mrs. Langley among other also
inade an equally wonderful recovery.
The use of the pillshowever has become
so universal here, and there has been
so many instances in which they have
been used with beneficial results that
a similar case would hardly excite as
much interest now as it dict then when
the medicine was Iess known.

The whole trend of present day living

our fathers lived so that they might
prolong life, the people of the present

large percontageof the men aeadwomen
on the stage of life to -day are over
working what at any time:, and .cinder
any .circumstances, is, the hardest
worked organ of the body -the heart.
So long as people will persist in this
method, the best thing they can do is
to peep areinedy like Dr. Agneev's Cure
for the Heart, close by. This remedy
is aheart remedy only, but is almost
miraculous in its effects. In all cases`
of organic or sywpatheticbeartdisease
