In these columns last week we re• ferred to the mixture of good and evil in everything under the sun. We held that there is inherent evil in every human being; that govern- ments were composed of individ- uals, and as the parts of the govern- mental machine were all somewhat imperfect, perfection could not be expected of any combination of these. A. friend asks us what we meant in this connection by saying "vic- iousness is consistent with infallibil- ity." if he will look at the preced- ing context in the article referred to he will find that we had said : "When a government or a party or individual claims to have no imper- fections, it or he is advertising itself or himself as the greatest fraud on the top of the earth." This is the sort of "infallibility" which we held and do hold viciousness is consist- ent with. We had in our mind's eye at that time another article in the same is- sue entitled. "0, Those Grit Pur- istf," in which we reproduced with historical accuracy the immoral -statements and corrupt and illegal practices of such posers of infallibil- ity as Hon. Geo. Brown when he asked Hon John Simpson of the Ontario Bank to "come down baud. somoly." Of another of the purists when he remarked, "I go into an election ta. win and don't care a d ---n what it costs." Of the thir• ty Grit members who were unseated for religiously endeavoring to ole• vats the standard of infallibility. We had in our mind's eye the gentle, genial M. C. Cameron of Huron who iu 1873 at the Goder- ich Park bank, when seeing Sir John A. McDonald off on the gun- boat, remarked to some who were praising the speech of Sir John at the Park House the night previous : "These," .and the member for West Huron pulled out a considerable roll of bills, "will make a better speech than ever John A. made." We also thought of the infallibil- ity of the unsophisticated H. H. Cooke, M. P., at Goderich about the same time, where he had some lum• her interests,exhibiting several large packages of bills just as they cine from the bank, and saying to his em- ployees to whom he was paying some money : "I am going to be elected if it takes a cord of such packages to do it." And Mr, Cameron's bills did make bettor speeches than Sir John ; and H. H. Cooke's cords of ten dol- lar bills did elect him ; and scores of other Grit purists were elected by the aama-infallible means only sss . tq.-beTutn e.ateds .- ....

They but held the mirror up which reflected their own corrupt natures and doings. They are the ones in whom viciousness is consis- tent with pharisaical infallibility. They cut a droll figure. They display a flag on which is inscribed "honest voting and honest govern- ment," while they are merely piti- lessly exposing their own rascally doings which the election courts and the public mind have indelibly re- corded. These are the ones who gloss over, who never mention as they pass them by in the records of the Courts and of Parliament, the cor- r•uptuess of the Camerons and Cookes and "Majah" Walkers and Hon. Simpsons, and Timothy Ang- lus, and Vaile .and brother Charles' iron pipe customs and steel rail frauds, and Neehing hotel swindles, and "my friend Moore" and God- erich harbor tender conspiracy. They will pass by on the other side without looking at these evidences of their infallibility and sneer at the honest Samaritans of the Conserva- tive government and party who probe to the very bottom any alleg- ed wrong doing of their officials and followers. They sneer at the Con- servative majority because it has endeavored to protect the public against the wrong doings of' its own friends. Give us proof, we think we hear our pharisaically infallible purists say. We have only to refer to the many recent dismissals from the public service ; the expulsion from the House of McGreevy ; the cen• sure of Langevin for his negligence, for his credulity in the good faith of his sworn assistants. We give as proof the reports of the various committees composed of Conservative majorities. We give as proof the utterances and actions of Premier Abbott in the Senate and Hon.

Mr. Millman, of Woodstock, one of the largest dealers and exporters of horses in Canada writes the press giving his experience in the horse export trade since the McKinley bill came in force. He says, "Wl.ile in Eusland I saw a great many draft horses arrive from Canada and they sold well." The McKinley bill did this. "General purpose horses, vannera they call them there, sold fairly well." Referring to road, carriage or saddle horses which class requires a goodly portion of the warm thoroughbred blood, Mr. Millman says, "If you know how to handle them you can afford to wait for customers and will be sure to find good sale for theta, especially if they are sound and in good condition and well put together." A strong point against the sixty millions market is incidentally made when Mr. Mill- man remarks, "I also saw a g_re@t many 7nitod States horses, carriage and roadsters, arrive and sold, but the Canadian horses are much pre- ferred." It only requires a few minutes consideration of the class of farm products we have to sell and it• will be seen it is precisely the same as the United states have to sell. And both find England the best market for their surplus. Take even barley as well as peas, wheat, corn, cattle, horses, hog products, eggs, butter, cheese etc., etc., and we will find that the United States send large quantities of all these to England. 'And why l Because they find it their beat, and in some eases their only market. Let Cana- dians whose osculatory attentions have been directed to a very unsav- ory portion of Yankee anatomy give us a rest on the advantages of the American market. Let them reflect that it is an economic absurdity to try to make intelligent people be- lieve that the American market is the best for Canadian farm products so long as the Americans themselves find England, or more properly speaking Britain, the best market for products of the same class as we have to sell.
