The particular point to which the Free Press fakes exception is that of Hu- motiives of the pro- wince: fri ilhelr activities. lit says:

"They never were quite the rogues and schem- yrs that they appear to be in his pages. The More charitable view is that the financial set- , l-p of tlhc Dominion and the provinces was an Pmpcissible mic from the outset: and that. even making full alloivnnc» for thc mistakes and ex- travagnnccs of the provinces in the matter of railway building. there was behind these auc- eessivp raids a real fiscal need. The problem has been bedcvillcd from nhe mitslde by the cir- cumstance that there has been a. tacit under- standing between the Dominion and the pro- vinces that lihc appeal must. not be made upon the ground of fiscal nerd; vct. since fiscal nor-cl was iii most. cases the reason “or the demand and the reason as well for it being granted. it has been necessary to wnrry on an extraordin- ary and almost unbelievable game of make-be- lleve.”

Isift this the right spirit? A farmer's wife writes us; “Are we not blessed in this little isle to be in peace and harvest our crops, even if they are not as large as some years? \\'e feel thankful they are no worse even in a dry sea- son. We took about 500 bushels from two acres of Cobblers and very few of them small. Though they are not as good as some 0f our neighbours still we are well satisfied. It has been a wonderful Fall and will make our winlef shorter.”
