WRO WILL WIN?
[ue appointment of Sir Oliver Mowat to the office of Lieutenant Governor of On- tario will afford an opportunity to test the strength of Sir Louis Davies in the Laurier Cabinet. Sir Louis and his friends have good cause to expect that the Department of Justice will fall to his lot. Sir has constantly and loyally stood by the Liberal party,and has invariably supported even the most unreasonable ane ridiculous positions taken by it. naturally ambitious to become Minister of Justice for Canada, and he has a strong claim upov Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his colleagues in the Cabinet. His competitor in the race for the coveted position is the Hon. David Mills. Mr. Mills is, admittedly an able constitutional lawyer. But he | lacks the popular manners and personal magnetism of Sir Louis, and he has not always been strictly true to his party. For instance, in the debate upon the Manitoba school question, he demonstrated that the Conservative contention was constitution- ally correct. Mr, Mills is, it is understood backed by Sir Oliver and Ontario. But, from the party point of view, it is easily seen that Sir Louis has the stronger claim and ought to win.

As a lawyer, he is
RECIPROCITY. |
Tue Patriot contends that reciprociiy with the United States ie, in the near future, possible and probable. But it says :
“The basis of reciprocity with the neigh- boring republic must be in regard to natural products. Thiswas the case with the treaty of 1854, including free access to our fisheries. Jeciprocity in fish, farm pro- ducts, lumber, iron and other metallic cres would scarcely interfere with British trade at all.”
The Patriot seems to forget that there was on the statute book of Canada for eighteen long yearsa “standing offer” of reciprocity upon the basis of “natural products,” that the offer was persistently | refused; and that it was laughed at by Sir | Louis Davies and other members of the | Liberal Party as absolutely nonsensical. | To expect the Great Republic to reci- |
—
a
procate trade upon the basis of | national products was, Sir Louis always ‘naintgined, arrant folly. But now that
Sir Louis is in office the Patriot declares that reciprocity upon this basis is “possible enough !” That is to say the Conservatives were all right whee they asked for reci- procity with Canada upon the basis of natural products; and reciprocity upon this basis, though refused to the Conserva- tives, will be obtained by the Liberals. Per- { haps the Patriot will now point out what Canada has to gain by Reciprocity of
Trade in natural producta, seeing that the prices of all staple natural products, such 43 Oats, pork, wheat etc., rule higher in Canada than in the States. .
TAXES RAISED!
Mavxy of those who voted for the Peters Administration at the recent election are surprised to learn that their taxes have been raised. They refused to listen to Tur Examiner’s warnings; they preferred to believe the assurances of Liberal canvaseers that the Government would get at Jeast a million dollars from Canada aud that their taxes would be lowered. Now they know that Tue Examrxer was right. Now they are compelled to go down deep into their trousers pockets tor more change for the taxgatherer. Things, generally, are higher since the Liberals came in; and so are the taxes,—both Dominion and Provincial.

The retrrns of the “Soo” Canal traffic up to September 2, 1897, were 2,811 vessels against 3,678 last season. The tonnage is 2,451,159 tons, compared with 3,308,244 in 1896, and the freight carried is 3,128,911 tons, where it was 3,360,790 last year up to the tame dete. There is accordingly a de- Creace of 867 veasels of 857,085 tonnage and fo the extent of 231,879 tons. |

NOTES AND COMMENTS |
The Conservatives are responsible for the Liberal deficit—so the Liberals all
say | “Now, there will be no more deficits.’
—-Nearly $5,000.00 added to the debt of Canada last year, So much for the first vear of Liberal government.
—Premier Hardy, of Ontario having leclared his belief that “whatever Mr Tarte may have been, we know that he is ano honest tman now, an! that h~ has done no dishonest act since he bax been ip the Reform ranks,” the Montreal Gazette says : “Mr. Herdy is evidently an anti corrup- tionist of the Laurier school. He does not see anything in a job that helps the
Libera party.”

~—Comment u of Mr.
ponthe recent dischar,e Perry, uoder the eircumstances
| detailed by the Summerside Journa!, from
the employ of the P. E. Island railway, ihe Montreal Gazette says: “Such a tale of outrage on publi. decency as ia bere des
cribed would, under ordinary circum- stances, be rejected a« incredible. When
| the whole history of the treatment of the } railway employes uo Prince Edward Island
is recalled, however, it becomes possible, —tasy, even—of belief. In every sectiou of the country the Goverument has broken |
| the Premier’s pledge not to dismiss old p
servants without enquiry and every week, | if not every day, faithful servants are being removed without cause, to make room for partisans of the ministers. Those who are not removed are being warned by such cares as thoseof Mr. Flannigan and Mr. Perry that their wages depend on their political suoserviency, on their yoting always for liberal candidates, no matter what may be their judgment of the issues involved. The situation thus described ia more than disgraceful tothe Government; it is dishonoring to the country.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.
Montreal Gazette says: Sir L.H. Davies, et Charlottetown, told an audience gathered to greet him that be only accepted a knight- hood from the Queen at the unanimous request of his colleagues. Considering the much advertised democratic principles of his colleagues’ such conduct on their part must be set down as disreputable. Why should they, a galxy of title despisers, load a collegue’s natoe for life with the dreadful letters K.C.M.G.? Ciearly there is divi- sion and hatred, not only in the Liberal party but in she Liberal Cabinet.
Montreal Star: To the outsider who is not troubled with much respect for party traditiun or the cramping sectionaliem whica plays tov large a part in our politics, it would seem that the problem before the Premier would be great simplified ifallthis idea of allotting so many ministers to a province were abandoned, and then the possibility of reduenz the number of departments frankly faced. Why should we maintain .wo separate Ministere to per- form the light duties of the Secretary of State and of the President of the Privy Council? Then by experience we know that we do not need three Ministers to look after Trade aal Commerce, Customs and Inland R.venue. Two men always did it under Sir John Macdunald, and did it well—at times. Tbe United States has but eight Cabinet Ministers; and while they have none of the Parliamentary res~ poosibility that our Ministers must always carry, they attend to the exeautive business for a nation of sixty-five miilions. We could certainly get along with a smaller Gevernment, sud we could manage, too, to use the money that the reduction ia the number of pc rfolios would save us.

THE TEA MARKET.
Firm Advices Fiom Primary Centres, Es- pecially Japan’
A leading broker writes :—“We think you will find on further enquiry that a!l advices from Japan for the past three weeks heve been a steady advance in prices there, with a quick falling oft in the vuality of offerings. Maay Canadian buyers, still say they expectadrop of lc to 2c in teas, but where this is to come from those in close touch with Japan fail tosee. The probability is that those jobbers who have bought have done better than others can. Canada may have a full
| supply of low-grade poor-drawing teas
from all countries on account of the new law in the Stetes, though of good drawirg Japan teae,to retail at 25c. (the great demand in Canada) we think the Canadian trade wili later find that the scarcity is greater than bas been known for years.”
CANADIAN BACON.
Professor Robertson, as reported by the Montreal Herald, recently sand that Cav- adian bacon is taking @ reiatively better place in the British markets than it bas done hitherto. A great advance bas been made during the last 'wo years, and par- ticularly during the current summer, In this product also I found that there isa
very grest difference between the prices obtained for the finest quality and any seconds, “fats” or “softs,” as
they are called. It will pay the Canadian farmers to co selec:, rear and feedthe hogs, that they will have a large number of hi gs of fairly uniform quality. They should
be whatare called feshv hees. These are
btained chiefly through feeding ihe young hogs, fier they are weaned, on skim milk, or buttermilk end allowingthem a great
deal of exercise. Then they should be tat- teved on mixed grains, with a quaatity of skim milk and buttermilk,or whey, mixed
with them. The best bacon pigs are those which weald, when ready to kill, weigh from 160° to 180 Ibe, live weight. Tnese are also the pigs which yield the largest profit on their feed-
ing. At that timethey have given a larger increase in live weight for the amount of food consumed than they could at eny luer period of their erowth. Accerding t their actual value for making bar oa for tie British markete, No. | seleeted, hogs, weighing abont 160 pounds, are worth ab ut one cent per pound live weight more than those which are too fat, soft or rough. a" cational 2

The Toronto Globe seems to be inclined to think the Government shonld go in for Klondike gold mining. The Montreal Patrie hints that it may go into the busi- ness of running fast st*amshiplines,and t! e Montreal Gazette remarks: “The magnifi- cent botch the ministers made in their tariff effurt, a matter the Goverament properly dealt with. seems to have inspired the admirers with a desire to see what kind «f a mess they can make out of things the Government has no call to touch.”
