The Dominion Alliance has issued a

well-considered message to the people of Canada. reviewirg and analysing the lebiscite vote The mescage

1 P _ ' . . ` takes a hopeful view of the situation

and enjoins upon prohibition workers to stand to their guns. Many of the points noted in the message have al- ready been dealt with in our columns and need not now be repeated. Other of its features have not been so fully presented. ‘ In regard to Quebec it is pointed out that the overwhelming vote against prohibition in that province is due to other causes than opposition _to the principle of suppressing the traffic, for in 933 municipalities 603 refuse to issue liquor licenses. And yet the French-speaking cities and counties almost all gave anti-prohibi- tion majorities. The message finds the following explanation for this remark- _able condition of things :

-‘In the province of Quebec a num.

ber of cabinet ministers and many other leading Liberal politicians came out in opposition to the proposed re- form. The French people, whose ad- miration and affection for Sir Wilfred Laurier are great, were told that a majority for prohibition would injure his position and iniiuence. It is certain that the Quebec vote was largely in- fluenced by this political consideration.”

The message also considers sepa-

rately the vote outside' of Quebec. In these provinces and territories the whole vote polled was 391,833, of which 249,895 voted for and 141,936 against prohibition. That is, of those ,voting in English-speaking Canada 64 _ per cent were in favor of, and but 36 per cent opposed to prohibition. The members of parliament who represent the six provinces and territories num- ber 14S. Of these the number whose constituencies voted for prohibition was 120 and the average majority was ‘ l042. But 28 constituencies in the same provincial and territorial areas voted against prohibition, and in these the average majority was but 611.

The concluding words of the mes-

sage are worthy of earnest consider- ation and we repeat them here : _

“\Ve mnst go on. We deem it our

duty to call upon every friend of prohibition to aid us in securing speedy and effective legislation in accordance with the vote of the peo- ple and the pledges given. before the plebiscite was taken. We must in- sist upon our right to the ground we have gained. If it were simply a. fight for personal advantage we might talk of a truce, or of leniency towards our foe. We are lighting, however, 'for interests too sacred to be compromised in the smallest de- gree. We are fighting for the moral, physical and and socal right of those who are not able to fight for them- selves. Any yielding to our enemies. would be a betray al of our cause, We dare do nothing but push on the battle with _every energy that we cgn 1 command.” ,

‘ Returns of the trade of. Canada 1"' for the five months, July to Novem- ber inclusive show a large expansion even when compared with the flourish- ing trade of last year. The increase _is something over $13,000,000 for the live months, but is wholly confined to imports. The exports for the five months term were in round figures two millions _less than last year and . the imports fifteen millions greater. The duties collected were naturally very large, owing to the increased iinportations and totalled $10,594,- 000 for the ive months, a betterment of $2,165,000 as compared with the same months last year. There is no suggestion of over importation in the above figures as the exports, though a fraction less than last year, were _still a. good way in excess.

The Laurier government in the two

years and a half of its present term has had the appointment of nine sen- ators and now another 'seat is vacant by the death of Hon. Mr. Macfarlane. It is true that not all of those who died or resigned since July 1896 were Conservatives, so that the Liberal gain is not so great as the number of new appointments. But the mortal- ity is necessarily great among a. body of men mostly far advanced in years, and as more than three fourths of them were a few years ago Conserva- tives,e rapid change must come over the personnel of the Senate 'in fu- '

The two great English- speaking Empires will have vastly more use from the canal, whether ii; times of peace or war than all other nations combined, and they ought therefore to have a joint intergsg in and control of the work.. In no other hands would it be so safe and so ust- ful to all the world. As the Herald says, “the work of joining the two oceans would serve to join more closel
