1\rhile no Government money
iehquld be paid to State ehilrohes to
support any form of religion, leev.
ing every Christian sect to stand on
its own bottow, it is also unfair to
prohibit any Christain sect frog?,
making converts bx moral or spirit-
ual suasion. Yet this is what is
!being done in Sweden. Stockholm
despatches state that the authorities
have given notice to the Roman'
'Catholic clergy that the law against
�nneking converts will be strictly en•
#arced. The law is said to have the
.the general approval of the people,
especially iu the interior of Swe•
-den, where religious prejudice is
strong.
-All the "world and the rest of
"-mankind know, or should know,
that there is to be a World's Fair
at Chicago in 1892, to which the
-various countries of the earth have
boon asked to send iudastri.il and
.art exhibits. '"'lie only object that
-foreign nlannfict'ires can have in
view in se.ndiug wares there will be
for the purposing of advertising
them and selling them in the United
States. Brit.iin, and nearly all
foreign countries, will be represent-
ed, and this in the face of the un•
friendly legislation of the United
States. This is a proper mode of
retaliation and is heaping coals of
fire ou the heads of the Yankee
restriction ista.
The Globe says Sir Hector Lange -
yin "can only be acquitted of mal
feasance by acknowledging that he
knew nothing of what was going on
in his department for five or six
years." This is an absurd conten-
tion. How many instances have
we had of the best bankers and
merchants in the world being ruin
ed by the melfeasan:e of their
.subordinates. When shrewd busi
noes men who have spent a lifetime
in trade and finance and supposed
they had the working of their busi
nese under perfect control, have
been deceived and ruined where
their whole fortune was at ht.ake, it
is not fair to assume that the head
of a Government department can be
more omniscient than the head and
owner of a private business.
White, of Cardwell, in the bud -
get debate, said : in 1854 the Unit-
ed States produced of corn, wheat,
oats and barley 844,167,000 bushels;
Lin 1888, the latest returns, 3,192,-
393,000 bashers. An increase in
cereal production during the period
covered of 400 per cent, and an in
crease in population during the
same time of only 150 per cent. The
speaker properly contender; that the
excess of production over popula-
tion accounted for the lessening of
prices. And the same causes con-
tinue at work,and all the Farmers' Al-
liances in the world will not enhance
the prices of farm products until a
greater amount of labor is diverted
from agriculture into manufactur-
ing or other non agricultural chan-
nels.
A New York preacher, comment-
ing on the proposed law to make
the exorcise of the franchise com-
pulsory, puts the case strongly
when he says : "The man who
deserts in the/army is held to be a
traitor and is shot. The man who
deserts the ballot—the substitute
for the bayonet—should be punish-
ed by civil law as a criminal. The
crime committed is 'precisely the
same in degree as that of the desert.
sr." And when one remembers
that nearly all the abuses with
which our political system is blamed
are directly attributable to the men
who ought to vote and don't he will
appreciate the force of the compari-
son. And a man can't vote unless
he gets his name on the list of
voters. Get the names on.
The - Opposition at Ottawa, or
some sections of it, tell us that
unrestricted reciprocity does not
met'n similarity of tariffs, that it
does not mean a 60 per cent tariff
' for Canada. When it was discussed
in Congress bne of the friends of
the Canadian Opposition there said:
"Mr. Wiman's proposition is to ex -
end our tariff system over Canada.
¶ndoubtedly the Canadians being
subjected to the same tariff with us,
would in all fairness be consulted
as to its provisions, but we, being
sixty millions, would in all fairness
have the prevailing voice in de-
termining what the rates should be."
Another member of Congress re
felled to the Grit scheme : "If this
resolution tends to anything it is
to Governmental union with Canada.
It means what is popularly termed
annexation of Canada to the United
States." The Opposition may
twist and turn as much as they like
but these extracts from the recor
e `eil5)ieD `?If Thetttlfravaif Can ,
prompted by Cartwright, places unre-
stricted reciprocity in its true light.

We will give Grit newspaper
writers credit for meaning well, but
in doing so we must also give them
credit for saying or writing what
they don't mean. A few days ago the
Globe said "Confusion reigns in
Tory circles". Thom, after the
budget vote was taken and the Tory
Government sustaio`bd by a majority
equal to 30 in a full House, the
Globe said, "The majority was the
result of a straight party vote".
The (.Aube figured at different times
a majority ag.iiust the Governureut,
a majority of 13, etc , and that con-
fusion so reigned in the Tory ranks
that they were putting off the evil
dry of defeat as long as possible by
putting off the vote on the budget.
The result was the endorsement of
the Govetrtment on a straight party
vote, Iii the Globe vocabulary cop•
fusion in the Tory ranks and 'a
straight party vote are synonymous
terms. The dear Globe writes by
way of conthrary. Editor Farrar can-
not divest himself of his remain -
'minces of Irish courtship con-
fusion.
The Ohio Democrats waut re
ciprecity and closer trade relations
with Canada. In commenting on
this the Chicago biter Ocean, the
leading Republican newspaper of
the West, says : All right. The
way to secure these is to sustain
President Harrison and Secretary
Blaine, who have broken the ice in
that direction. The prejudice
against Canada is evidently break-
ing down. Both parties in the
United States seem to have discover-
ed that their existing policy is one
of biting off their nose to spite their
face, They have it in their power
to have "closer trade relations with
Canada." We do 'hot- "make their
tam ill' laws. They make them and
they only can amend them, This
they can do b3 lowering their tariff
to that of Canada. But if they
want to rule the whole earth, or
even the best part of this continent
called Canada, they will find they
cannot do it ; not even with the aid
of a few Canadian traitors who
would help then" to do it in the
hope of being made Senators or of
getting their plundering hands unto
the public purse. Lot us us have
peace, and lot us have closer trade
relations that shall be mutually
beneficial, But to travesty what
one of their own statesmen said
when he enunciated, "not one cent
for tribute but millions for de-
fence," against Britain ; we may
say, "not one cent for trade tribute,
but millions for fair trade with
Britain and our nearly 400 millions
of British fellow citizens."
When it is stated and sworn that
the same sort of irregularities pre-
vailed in public departments during
Mr. McKenzie's time as is shown to
have prevailed under the present
Government, the Globe replies, "It
must be remembered that in Mr.
Mills' and Mr. McKenzie's time
there was. no law forbidding extra
payments to clerks." Of course
there is no excuse for wrong doing
now even if these same Grit employ-
ees did do wrong under a Grit ad-
ministration. But this excuse of
the globe brings out in high
relief the higher morality of the
Tory Government. In this way
irregularities in the way of drawing
money from the Government have
been going on under a Conservative
Government contrary to the express
wish and desire of this Government
as laid down in the departmental
regulations, and now that the de-
linquents are found out they are
being cashiered as fast ae their guilt
is proven. Whereas the Globe ad-
mits the same sort of irregularities
prevailed during Mr. McKenzie's
time, and though known no attempt
to check them was made. Surely the
Conservative Government that pass-
ed regulations against irregular draw•
ing of public money and punishes
violators of them by suspension
when they are found out exhibits a
higher regard for the conservation
of public money than the Reform
Government which allowed this ir-
regular drawing of public money
and encouraged it by not making it
part of the regulations of office that
Ti eh gild r;oE be done: if Ie wiong

The easiness noted in the Liver B

pool market last week continues, and Veal
while the demand was brisk onl the I Eg
very tops bought 13;c. The sully Pgs otatr
eoes, per peck
of sheep continues very heavy, a d
the market in consequence is still
very sluggish and prices low.
o The Montreal Gazette says :—The
past week has been a busy one in
live stock circles, the shipments be-
ing unusually heavy for this season
of the year. The only reason for the
rush was that shippers wanted to
catch the good markets, but it is,
doubtful if their hopes will be realiz-
ed, as the cables today note a gen-
eral deoline with no hopes of any im-
mediate improvement. In Glasgow
on Wednesday, shippers just about
let out. London made a little money
on cattle to day but sheep sold at a
very heavy loss, and private cables
from Liveryool quoted 60 for the
finest cattle, at which price they
must surely lose money. Shippers
are dabbling in stockers again, hut
do not appear to have very high
hopes of the success of their ship-
ments. Their minds will be set at
rest in a few days, however, as one
or more consignments will be sold
this week.
