MR. FISHER’S POSITION.

Orrawa correspondents report that Mr. atid feele badly ; some This is not wonder In 1893, when working up the pro-

Fisher 1 elilent eay that be is eulky. tul. hibitionists to vote for the Laurier- Tarte party, be qaoted the plebiscite resolution, and said “the Government in power must necessarily Carry Out tbe express will of the people. Tuere is no doutt that this is what the Liberal party will do; fer we know their pledges can be trusted.” How far they can be trusted is apparent now that a msjority of 14,000 hae been cast in favor of prohibition and Sir Laurier has flatly refused to do anything aboutihe matter! Mr. Fisber ie certain- ly in an awkward position. He is a tem~ perance leader in a Cabinet which, as the Montreal Witners has shown, has chosen “ the liquor dealer’s boro.” He ought to come out from among them.

STILL WE HAVE PROTECTION.

_

Sir Ricbard Cartwright eaid when in op- position :—

“I say our protective system was 8 huge mistake in so far as it was honest at

was a buge scheme of robbery” And again :

“T etand by the declara-tion that I have made that protection is nothing more nor less than a deliterate legalized and organized robbery. More than that, if you do not stamp it oui it is the high road to political slavery first and industris] s'avery afterwards.” Again—

“Our policy from first to la+t has been te destroy the villainous system of protection, by free trede, a revenue tar fl or continental free trade.”

Sir Wilfrid Laurier, when in opposition eaid :—

“| will not be satisfied until the last vestige of protection hes been removed from the soil of Cavada, Cur great reform ig to put away from the eoil of Canada the last vestige of protection.”

Upon another occasion Sir eaid :—

“Call it protecion, cal] it call it slavery thing. It bondage.”

Our judges and our courte will enjoy the respect and the confilence of the public only in proportion as their judg- ments are felt to be reasonable and just. But we refer to this matter to correct The Patriot’s mischievous misrepresenta~ tion of Tae Examiner in respect to the Meddie Gallant case. The Patriot says that Tne EXxaMineR “inenuates that the majority of the Conrt did net know what they were doing when they reversed Mr. Justice Hodgson’s decision.” The ineinuse

According to the rule which governs decisions in appeal cafes upon matters of fact, the bigber ‘court Sustains the verdict or decision of the lower court unless the verdict or de- cision could not have been arrived at by auy process Of right reasoning.

Patriot calla an “‘insinuation ‘they were doing.” We repeat that reason- able men may differ, husestly and cons ecientiously, even in respect to matters cf fact; and we deny and repudiate The Patriot’s infereace.

PREFERENTIAL TRADE. Some persons have wondered why it is that with a differential tariff to the amcuat of 25 per cent of the duty in their favor, the Canadian imports frem Great Britain have not risen, wh le Canadian imports from ibe United States have increased by leaps

and bounds. The cause was very clearly

which we import the more largely from the United States was iv many cases re- duced. Take for instance iron steel scrap. Theold duty was $4 er ton; the new duty ie $1,—from Creat Brilain we imported to the value of $75,000, from other coun'ri 8 $458000. The duty vo p‘g irom was re duced from $4 to $2.50,—our imports amount to $500,600, of which the United ) Siates sends us over six times as much as Great Britain. The United States got a reduction of 625 per cent, in the duty. The daty on rolied iron was 35 per cent., | or not lease than $10 per ton; the new duty is $7 per ton, or a reduction of 43 per! cent,—Great Britain sent ne iron of this | quality to the value of $11,452, while | other countries sent $237,000. The duty | on rolled iron sheets was reduced from $10 | to $7, giving a preference te the United | States of 42 percent. “he duty on rolled fich plates was reduced from $10 to $8; we imported from the United States $161,010, worth and from Great Britain $90,684, a reduction of 20 per cent. Oo cast iron pipes and steel fittings the duty was re— duced from $10 to $8, again an enormous advantage to the United States. On iroa and eteel fittings che duty was reduced from 85 to 30 per cent.; Great Britain supplied $809 werth, the United States $84,600 worth.

These figures tell the cause of British disappointment and United States triumph | in the Canadian market.

The preference, like the plebiscite, is a sham.
