Samoa, Clerk. selves by a guarantee that they would supply the satisfactory oiling of I. C. R. rolling, stook at tenper cent. less than the previous ooet. Thie they did when they first entered into the contract, and et a later stage Mr. Blair succeeded in binding them down to 15 per cent. less. The result was that in the last year the saving amounted to over $10,000. The company bag identioal oonbraots with the 0, P. R. and G. T. It., and with 90 per oent. of the American railways. There is no gainsaying these foots, nor have we seen any attempt to do so. A pride list of oil is trottei out for compar- ison, which may be true or may be false, for it has nothing to de with the 000traot. The thing wag to do the work as well as do it cheaper, both or which oonditions are vouobed for. There is no room for ar,ament about this. But pursuing the polioy of calumny and falsehood which they have marked oat for themselves, the abandoned portion of the Tory press try to obscure the real issue and about "corruption," "divvy," "rake-off," oto„ w.thout rhyme or reason. The real matter tbat galls them is the splendid summing up of results of his manage - maul which Mr. Blair made in oonoles- i .n of his magnificent argument to the Tions() of Commons on Jnly 27tb, wbioh circled his bearers by storm, and which e 'cited praise from some portions of the enemy's camp itself :— The figures which I have given to this House have been compiled by the officers of the Interoolonial servioe,the same man who did the work for my prodeaes- sor, upon exactly the same basis, and in preoisely the same woy. I therefore, wish to emphasize these figures. The earnings in the last four years have been as follows : 1896 7 2,866,028 1897 8 8,117,660 1898 9 3,738,331 1890.1900 4,683,000 A steady, oonbinuoue and marked trowth—a growth, the possibilities of which were entirely repudiated and denied by hon. gentlemen opposite in criticism upon the abatements whioh were made. Now, Sir, there is no par- e. lel in the Interoolonial daring the preceding years, It baa taken a freeh .tars ; it has received a stimulus. I do not oars where he gets the stimulus from, the fact remains, and they may be taken ea some evidence that the policy and administration of this Government have not been erroneous or mistaken. Now, I ask you to compare the four years I have given yon with the four years just preceding, some of wbioh were as pros- perous years es we ordinarily have in the Maritime Province ; pat the figures for the two periods along side of each other, and you will be able to draw your own oonolusions. The earnings of those four years were as follows : 1892.3 83,065,499 1868 4 2,937,510 1894.6 2,940,717 1895.6 2,957,640 to the stake of 'L 00 000 , Tied almost 8 $ they could not get away from it. There was no life in the road. But whatever may be the dame of it—and I attribute it largely to the polioy of giving the road a live terminal in the city of Montreal— we have shown a reoord of great and continuous progress wbioh if achieved under the administration of my hon. friend, would have evoked adjectives more extreme than any we have ever heard from my honorable friend in his dennnaiatione of the gross misoonduot of this administration. Let me empha• size at the same time that this result has not been won by any depreciation fn our expenditure. In 1896 7, 1897.8 and 1898 9 there was an excess of $244,926 expended by this government in keeping up the gaality of the road over which was expended in the same direction in the preceding three or four years. I do not say we spent all that the railway would have stood ; it would bave stood more. We have not spent all that I would have liked to spend, or that I could have spent with good results to the country. Bat the fact remake that in tbose three years we spent $80,000 per year in excess of what one predecessors spent in throw classes of expenditure which we recognized en proper for the meintenanoe of the railway. In addition to that, we have paid the rentals of the Drummond County and the Grand Trunk lines; we have inoreased the wages of our men all along abs line to the extent or '$175,000 a year ; we have paid oar mileage, in sae year alone, enough to pay the interest ou 32,000,000 ; and we have given you, without aiing to the burdens of the people, it class of service and an improved railway of whicb the people of the eoantry have no reason to be ashamed.

Yes. Q. What is the strength of the Liberal attitude, as compared with that of their. opponeute? A. It lies in the foot that the present tariff is the beet practical arrangeinsut for Canada, and that its utilitydoes not depend neoeasarily upon the action by Great Britain, Q. Thep, what is the weakness of the Tupper platform? A.That there is no likelihood of Britain granting, a preferenoe of her own aeoord, ao that would be an invasion of the polioy she deliberately adopted and found advantageous for half a century ; and seoondly, that If it were granted ou the terms proposed by Mr. Chamberlain, it would mean, in all probability, a great injury to existing Canadian fudustriee. 011ItlS'I'tAN ENDC.IVORIRI{S, The Royal oity of Gaelpb will extend open banded hospitality to Ontario's Endeavorere, Oot, 2, 8 and 4th, and the young people of all denominations ars looking forward with pleasure to the great feast, The President and Secretary sound "Discipleship" as a dominant note, practical methods in soul winning.

It gives bo Canadian consumers a reduction in the rate of duties paid on British goods, and leaves Canadian man. utaoturers a fair proteotion. Q. Are the duties on English goods lower than they were in 1895 ? A. Yee, they are considerably lower, anvwbere from one•fourth to oue third. Q. How do they compare with the duties before 1878 ? A. They are sligbbly higber as a role, but in some oases even lower. This is true, for example, in the Daae of certain lines of aottone used in large quantities in Canada. Q. Are the manufacturers satisfied with the present tariff ? A. Yee, they are satisfied as the tariff is now, as is shown by the continued activity in their indnetriee, but they would probably obj=ot to a further re. duction. Q, Is there any likelihood of any snob reduotion ? A. No, for Mr. Fielding has formally pledged the government to the view that the tariff may well remain much as it is for a considerable tiros, Q, As the tariff stands, therefore, is it eatiefaotory and advantageous to Canadians ? A. Yea, both to makers and buyers ; and beoause they are devoted to Great Britain, Canadians are pleased that there is also an advantage to Great Britain. Q. Why dose Sir Charles Topper ob• jest to this ? A. Because he says we are giving Great Britain something of value to her without getting something in return. Q. Does he not also say that thea preference is of no value to Britain ? A. Yes, he sometimes makes the two statements in one sentence. Q. Is Great Britain likely to grant a preference for Oanadian goods in the Britisb market ? A. No, there is no reason to believe an •, and all her prominent etabesmen have at one time or another opposed the idea, Q. Who have spoken in this tone ? A. Lord Roeebery, Lord Balisbury, most of the Liberal leaders, and Mr. Ritohie, president of the Board of Trade in the present cabinet, who said quite reoently that a 5 per cent ",preference is the last thing he would be prepared to advocate. Q. Would their views be ohanged if Sir Charles Topper were to dome into power in Canada ? A. No, there ie no likelihood of it. Q. What, then, would be the ofioob up. on the British preference of electing Sir Charles Tapper A. Es would logiaaliy be bound to re- peal it, until Great Britain was prepared to return preference for prefereooe. Q. Would title mean an unread in the rate of taxation A. Yes, necessarily, Q, By which the people would lose ? A. Yes. Q, And by which the Canadian mann• faaturers might get an extra protection, which their present prosperity shows they do not need ? A, Yee. Q. Suppose the preferenoe were to be granted by Great Britain, on what berme would it be given ? A. Mr. Chamberlain, who bag gone wholly cured him.
