Will He Retire.
The Hamilton S1e,2tator, one of the
ablest of the Conservative papers, has
raised a disturlemee within the party
fold by -sticking a kicife into Mr. Mere.
dith. It diadems that its a leader he hi
*etafailure, and :emphatically inti-
mates that the only road to power in
Ontario is by his removal. Represen-
tatives of Toronto papers interviewed
leading Conservatives about the article,
some of whom endorsed it, while others
stood by Meredith. In tho discussion
that the article has given rise to, some
interesting points are brought out, and
the Ontario Government comes in for
some flattering testimonials that aro
all the more note -worthy because they
are given by theiropponents. One of
the leading Conservatives of Kingston
r. has this to -say :-- •
"WhernTirfrire col terifilTterttra
miserable following Meredith has in the
House, which scarcely equals the cali-
ber of -a common township council, In
all jestiee, what can one man clo
against a solid phalanx of talented mon
like Mowat, Fraser, Hardy, the two
Roes', Gibson, O'Counor and lots of
others, with men liketereighton, Clarke
and Clancy as his first lieutenants, with
a rank and file, below mediocrity."
This is pretty hard on the Conserva-
tives of the Lie:al Reuse, and just as
complimentary ee it is hard, to Mr.
Alowat and his supporters,
• The Toronto Telegram, a Coneerva-
tive paper, has not a god word for Mr
Meredith, and blames Sir ;John as
being the comet* of his failure. Hear
what it says 1—
"William "Ralph Meredith, is an all.
but admitted [enure as a political
leader. Inc insfficiency is generally
acknowledged. 'There is an element of
pathos in the thought that in Ontario
politics Mr •Merdith has no fature.
He was equipped for the leadership
of,his party by the personal qualities
essential to SUCce9S, and with all these
gifts ham won 'tithing but a record for
t3n wasted years of opportunity.
A 'search• for the causesthat have
made shiowreck of his promising pub-
lic life need not be long .continued.
The seeker after reasons for the lemon -
!able reeffits, will not travel past Sir
John. Throughout 5Ir 'Meredith's
career the will of the Premier has been
a Iaw,to him. His course'on all great
public•questionshas been haped to
Suit the interests of politicians at
Ottawa. The Opposition leader has
sacrificed his future for the sake of Sir
John. To oblige the old man, Mr
Meredith lute thrown away all chance
of success in his native province."
Thie is whet the rank C.onservative
Brantford 'Alegrain thinke:
"Where the trouble cOinek in k
the snisetable .fi,Ilowiug he has in the
House. Tlio hest nen in the Cmiservit-
tive rmike are selected for the Domin-
ion House,anti , nti the rag -tag and bobtail

West, Litinbton.
The piggeet lot of trash than can he
conceiVed, is bring written by Home of
the Oppotition papers about the contest
in West Leanbton, and the best aniwer
that can be given them is to smote what
the Ottawa Citizen—Conservative--
has the frankness to say: Here is: -
Power Of the Press.
Seine time ago the publishers of the
Ceutury Magazine, of New York, seta
two men to Russia, to imeetigate as
far as they could the Siberian exile
Berstein. 'These) nien were 5lessre Ken -
lean aud Frost, the first being a writer,
the second an artist. They were
neither limited to time or means.
After visiting all the penal institutions
of Russia, and espeoially those of
Siberia, the men retarned, and for
n ?arty eighteen months the results of
their ,investigatious have been given
mouthly to the readers of the magazine.
117.7—a.rtic1es are horribly interesting,
They reveal a state of existence among
the exiles that isparbarous, strikingly
outrageous/and cruel in the extreme.
It must be remembered that the inves-
tigation were always carried on under
the personal supervision of the Russian
officers in charge of the various prisons,
except occasionally where Messrs Ken-
nett a.nd Frost had secret interview's
with the "political exiles" as they are
termed... People in America naturally
sueposed that when ever the articles
came to the notice of the Russian Gov-
ernmentAthey would be so amazed at
the public exposure of their dreadful
treatinent of their own subjects that
that they would comPlain to the gov-
ernment at Washington of the un.
friendly nature of the article. They
have not done this, but is is said that
as a result thereof, they have decided
to abolish entirely the exile system.
Should this be the only outcome of Mr
Kennen's labor's, he. will have accom-
plished somethiqg for humanity as
great as uny ef the discoyeries of
science, and herein is shown a' forcible
illustration of the power of the pen and
press, when :wielded in the interest of
down•trodden hunianity. •
—
Freedom of Trade.
It is reported that a wide -spread
agitation in favor of free trade is spring-
ing up in France, Germ'any and Italy.
Thar protective tariffs have cripped
their exports by diminishing iruporte,
and augmented the cost of living to the
artisan without bringing about a cor-
responding increase in wages. Cana-
dian protectionists are in the habit of
saying that free trade has not made
much progress in Europe. "Phis ie an
erroneous assertion. The tendency
among all civilized people has been to
°item] the free trade area. The inter-
provincial ;, tariffs Nt'llich existed in
France have long since been . ewept
away. iu Germany a similar move-
ment has taken place almost in our
own day. Sixty years ago every petty
German st3,te had its own tariff,- so
that a bale of, goods. sent frain. the
western to the eastern border of the
country had to run the gauntlet. of
thirteen different sets of custom houses.
Italy has, effe,cted a like clearance of
the relicts of the old 'mercantile super,
stitution, all the tariffs whigh divided
her people from one another hating
been abolished with the fusion
of the. principalities, In the. United
Kingdom the customs barriers between
England and Scotland and between
them and Ireland have been reMoved.
In our own country the extension of
the free trade area Was acceinplished
at Confederatiomand not even the!most
fossilized of Conservatives deems it to
have been a misfortune. In a todraliit.
th.- preeent agitatien for political futler•
ation arises largely from the desiro of
the colonists to be rid of internecine ;
tariff wars. Thc United States is the
largest single free trade area in the I
world, and the movement on both ,
sides of the line in favor of unrestricted
reci prOcity shows that the two people 1
instinctively perceive that they would I
benefit were it made still larger. Pro. I
teetion was at high water mark when
men believed that the greater the re.
etriction within their own country the ;
morearecle \vas likely. to flourish ; but i
that notion has been diasipated by their
growing intelligence, and in course of
time they will come to am that restic•
tion as between nation and nation is
every bit as injurious as restriction
between province and province:
• The cablestates that, the new fru,
trade movement in Europe is, "suppor•
ted by the flower of the workingenen."
No doubt this is true. The attempt to
increase wages by means of Protection
has 'lever yet succeeded .and probably
Inner will, although protectionists in.
gist that free traders have no right to
say so, "for" they ask, "since you
maintain that protection increase the
price of everything, how can you argue
that it does not increase the price of
labor ?" The answer Us that though
you may increase the face 'value of
wages by making everything dear,
their purchasing' power, which is the
real test of syalue, is not exalted but
diminished in' proportion to the dear.
nese of things, And in over crowded
communities like those of Europe, gen.
testi dearness of the necessaries of life
may exist without an increase:- oven in
the face value of wages. An English
writer, who has just got out a book on
the subject, says that in 1661, when
wheat in England rose to 100 shillings
A quarter, of eight bushels, a price un-
heard of and never paralleled till the
close of the eighteenth, century, wages
were Cs. a week, and efforts were made
to reduce them from that. At the end
of the eighteenth century, when farm-
ers were getting no less than 150 shill-
ings a quarter for wheat, agricultural
wages were at 78. a week, and formes
were grumbling that they had to pay
ao much. The French, Italian and
German artisana see that their wages
aro lower and their hours' of labor
longer than thole) of the artisan in free
trade England—a fact which outWeighs
a ton of prptectioniat sophistry. Fur-
ther, they' are beginning to see that
closer trade relations between nations
tend in the direction of peace ; and they
are tired of militarism and war.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Minister ofgustice is to be com-
mended to his refusal to commute the
death sentence ou Harvey.
It looks vary much as if a conviction
will be secured in the Cronin murder
case, simply by the evidences for the de-
fence.
The Globe has certainly not been in
line with public sentiment in its advoca-
cy of commutation uf Harvey's sen-
tence.
The croakers, who are claimingthat
Mr Mackenzie is a ruinority candidate
in West Lambton, have evidently for-
gotten that Sir John himself, if we are
not mistaken was the minority candi-
date when he was elected in Carleton.
President Harrison was also a unuority
candidate by fifty thousand of the pop-
ular vote, but he still was elected.
Papers in Quebec claim that Mr
Chapleau, now Secretary of State,
offered to settle the Jesuits Estate
claim when he was a. member of the
Quebec ministry. Ile denies this, and
is met by the following vigorous declar•
ation from a leading Quebec paper :—
"This is what we have to say to the
Secretaxy of State; we have declared,
and we once more declare, that you
expressed your Avillingness to settle the
Jesuit Estates claim for $500,000. If
ou will deny it and sign your denial,
than we will answee you."
Some time ago the Rev Mr Burns,
assistant postmaster of Kinsston, who
had charge of the SavingsBank Depart-
ment, was found. to have used the funds
of 'depositors ior his own benefit, and
the question arise "would the govern.
ment. make good the amounts thus
stolen?" It was,argued by some that
the government was under no; obliga-
tion to make good the deficiencies and
rAW-Ottlertiat-direo; lifit—We'etire=pleasedster
see that they havetfinally decided' to do
so. This is only just and proper to the
depositors, who in ,the faithfulness of
the government employees,' trusted
their money totits care.
During the first nine months of tho
present year there were inportecl into
the United States 5,200,394 bushels 2of
barley valued at 3,177,7O9;$compared
with 3,278,099 bushels worth 132,379,972
in the same months of 1888. 13e1 some
of our Canadian -trade restrictioniste are
foolish enough to.pretend that there is
no demand for Canadian products in
the United States, The American duty
upon....barley is ton cents per bushel.
Nearly the whole of the barley import-
ed into the United States is grown in
Canada. Sir John Macdonald has:prov-
ed over .and over that the American
duty is paid bY the Canadian producer.
The aggregate amount of duty Upon the
:1,21;0,394 bushels was $529,039, If we
had reciprocity this huge sum of money
would have been distributed among our
barley growers instead of -going:into the
Washington .treasury.

gram, applies especially to clergymen.in
