‘sities upon imported goods, and the distribu- tion of
ment :—
“It is called a Protection resolution by cour-
tesy ; but it was really nothing of the sort.” . * o . .
“Mr. Pope, the champion Free Traler, might safely vote for it, und boast himsel/, with |
perfect consistency, tu be the champion Free l'rader still.’
Tae Patriet denounces Mr. Pope as “‘ a traitor” because he voted for it.
Mr. Pope, when he returzs to this Prov- ince, will, we doubt not, satisfy his con- stituents that he is not now—as he never has been—a traitor to them. His action has been justified by the Toronto (lobe. His action will be justified by every intelli- gent man on the Island when the grounds upon which it was taken are fully under- stovd.- We have no fear for Mr. Pope.
But what shall we say for Mr. McKenzie, the Leader of the ‘‘ Free Trade Party’ (/) alias the ‘‘organized hypocrisy.” In 1874 —after he had aczepted the offize of Prime Minister—speaking with the care of a leader éxpounding the views of his Gove-nment, Mr. McKenzie said : —
** As long as duties are levied upon imported articles, they should be éevied upon articles pro- duced by our own people.”
Does this oracnlar declaration contain the principle of Free Trade as expounded in the budget of Mr: Cartwright? Does this ex- pression of opinion indicate taxes upon tea, eoffee and sugar—the simple universal lux- uries of the poor ?
In 1874, this Champion Free Trader— idolized by the Patriot—said :--
** Sir Prancis Hicks stated last year, in his election tour arid in the House of Commons, that he wa; in f:vor of incidental Protection. | said, ‘/ am in savor of it.’”
‘How does this declaration of the Premier sort with the Free Trade principles he now, for a purpose, professes to uphold, but fails to practice ?
Mr. McKenzie, in one of his speeches, gave utterance to the following :—
‘As [ have said, all partiesin this country have accepted the doctrine | . down, that ?.revenue must be obtained by means of
duties should always be in such a wy as to confer the GREATEST AMOUNT OF BENEFIT upon our people.”
And is ‘‘All taxation an evil per se.” Opinions differ, and it appears—paradoxical as it may seem—that the opinions of the Prine Minister are at variance with those by which his own Cabinet are seek- ing to lure the people into granting them a now lease of power! Sportsmen some- times put up ‘“‘decoys” to lure the unso- phisticated game to death. The Govern- ment has evidently launched their false Free Trade Policy as a sportsman does his “decoy” —in the hope that true Free Traders
‘said that— “The candidature of Mr. Thomas Workm1n
{ for tais important constituency has my hearty
isupport.”
Mr. Workman’s policy—defined, if we mistake not, in the presence of Mr. Mc- Kenzie—was this : ~
“My policy on the manufacturing question is simple. We are to a very large extent here in Montreal, and [ thiak over the greater part of the country,over-raa with A nerican ms u- factured goods, sent here and forced upon our markets at sacrificing prices. These goods in- terfere with our mechanics, manufacturers, and our artisans. 1 would, therefore, gentle- men, advocate the imposition of a duty on all goods coming in from the United States equal to what the Americans charge on all goods sent from Canada. That i. what I call reci- procity in duty.”
We say nothing about Jones, Laflamme, Laurier and Pelletier—members of Mr. McKenzie’s Cabinet—all' of whom are in favor of Protection of Incidental Protection. We simply direct the attention of the Patrivt to its Champion Free Trader, in th, hope that it will cease throwing. stcm:s at Mr. Pope, while the leader it looks up to is himself covered with sin.

THE HCUSE YESTERDAY.
Tue debate on the Address has, so far, been wise and otherwise. It has embraced every conceivable topic, from the stones used in the foundation of the Lunatic Asy- lum, to the abolition of the Legislative Council.
We cannot commend too highly the mod-t eration and ability displayed by the Leader of the Opposition and by his followers. While accepting the decision of the last elec- tion on the School Question, they have reso- sutely set themselves to perform the very important duty of criticizing and checking the Government.
Nor are they without help. Not to speak of Mr. Cawpbell—who is a host in himself —they find such men as Dr. Robertson and Mr. McMillan lifting up their warning voices, and declaring that if the Govern- ment do not mend their ways, the indigna- tion of the people will burst forth with in- creased intensity to uverwhelm and con- found them utterly. Mr. McMillan was more caustic than pleasing when he declared that it is not honorable in a Guvernment to hold offi¢e when they know that the people are against them.
Tne Leader of the Government and the Leader of the Opposition did well to unite in stamping out tne popular error that it is economical to have cheap offisials. It is, however, by no means clear that fewer officials better organized would not do the work required more satisfactory than it is doue at present. And the Leader of the Upposition deserves special credit for the mualy way in which he has grappled with the abolition of the Legislative Council. ‘The course adopted by the Goverument in

Mr. McKenzie con inues :—
«The result was that within a year we found it necessary to increase the duty to 174 per cent., aud that is the duty at present in exist- once. . We have, therefore, yiven an incidental
rotection of two and a haly per cent. more than been emposal by the precious Admmistra- tion. This might be sufficient answer to those who are accusmy me of having it in view to iw augurate a Free L'rade Policy.”
The Premier proceeded to discant upon the advantages of over-atocked commercial intercourse between nations ; but concluded his argument by declaring that
‘* The circumstances of the country will not admit of it.”
