GUARDIAN VS. EXAMINER.

Arrer three days of cogitation, the explains its failure to denounce for

the day previous to the Scott Act election

Guardian the fixing of the Provincial election and also the “deal” made evident in the re- spective voues, by attacking Toe Examiner The public will readily see that thie is no defence atall. On the contrary, the clear and logical inference is that the Guardian’s conduct is indefensible.

The organ of the Scott Act saw a deadly blow struck at the the Scott Act election, and did nothing what-

success of ever to ward it off. The result« were seen in the result of the polls on Wednesday and Thursday last, in which the ba‘k of the liquor votes mingled with those for Prowse and Rogers, and both Liberalism and Liquor were triumphant! In short, the Guardian winked at Mr. Peters’ trick, and permitted the Scott Act to be sacri- ficed to the election of Mr. Peters’ candi- dates. It now etrives to divert public attention «o Tae Examiner's alleged mis— deeds. Tue Examiner, it is to be noted, was not established, to advocate the Scort Act,on money furnished by temperance organizations throughont the Province. Seeing that not only the Guardian, but Dr. McLeod and Mr. Spence and an active body of city canvassers were employed on behalf of the Scott Act, we may well be excused under the circumstances even though Tue Examixer was- not active

in respect to the Scott Act election. But the Guardian states that we permit- ted corresponaents of Tue Exax- INER to “attack the Scott Act. It does

not state the other half of the truth,— that we permitted other correspondents to defend it. In point of fact we published, if we mistake pot, every comrmunication thay came to THe Examrner from the Scott Act side. We allowed that which the Guardian denied,—a free and fair ex- pression of public opinion concerning the Scott Act,its operation in this city, and the results.

Enthusiastic Scott Act workers imagin- ed when The Daily Guardian was estab- lished that the Scott Act also was estab- lished. It was expected that The Guar- dian would prove to be a true and influential advocate. But the facts, circumstances and resnita connected with the recent Scott Act elections go to prove that it is neither.

Sir Wrerrip Lavrrer expressed the opiniow recently, while in Paris, that the United States committed a blunder in “the wholesale application of universal suf- frage, which should not be a mere birth- right, but should be won by an effort however slight.” If Sir Wilfrid should act consistently with his opinion,the Fran- chise of Canada as to Dominion elections held in Prince Edwa.d Island will not, under the new ‘aw to ve passed, be based upon the “manhood suffrage” of electors of Assemlymen, and it may be based upon the bigher qualification of electors of

Councilmen. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the other Liberals (socalled) ought to be

closely watched in respect to this matter.

Montreal Gazette: One of the ideas Mr. Peters. the Liberal premier of Pricce Ed ward Island, is credited with entertaining is that of a Muritime Province union. Ore of ‘h* provincial papers says that he in- terded, if suatained in the elections, to de- vore bis attention to bringing this about, There is scme sentiment in favor of the project, and the New Brnnswick Legisla- ture has pnt on record a resolution in its favor. 11s hardly to be hoped, however- eve~, that Mr. Peters’ promised efforts will be «tfective, for a time at least. The pro- vinces will have to feel the effects of their extravagance somewhat more sharply be- fore they will be inclined as a whole to surrender any oftheir costly little apparent independence.

CANADIAN PRODUCTS AND BRITISH

MARKETS,

There is enconragement and hope in the following remarks, of the Liverpool Post;

“Canada has been tortuvate ina sucesa- lon ef enterprising Mini-tries, who what- ever theird flerenees of Opinion on les matites p litiques, have shown unbrokev

Scotland has been justitied of ner children in this instance, aod Canada of theovee, for a while in 1889—immediately prorto his appoistment—the export of Cinadian cheese to this country was “8.534.587 pounds, by 1894 it had increas- ed nearly fifty per cent., ard in 1895 was about $1,500,000 greater than in 1894 Che butter export trade was almost 4 neglectabie quantity when Profes-or Re berteon was appointed. To come to plain figures, the value of what was con- signed 1o Great Britain in 1889 was only $174,027, while in 1895 it had risen to 559.797, and in 1896 showed a still] furth- cr advance of over $100,000. It will be recogn:zed that relatively to the vast ex- tent and pastoral resources of Cinala tiis ia very small. But the trade has been of suc’ a steadily expanding character that under the system of cold storage transport which bas just been initiated for dairy produce in conjunction with beef and other foods, there is really no discernible limits to its ultimate possibilities.

Montreal Star: If the price of wheat would reach as high figures as the mercury does these days, the Manitoba tarmer would be the happiest mortal on earth. Halifax Chronicle: The Guardian is evidently not“temperate in all things” or it would hardly ventnre te remrrk that 786 of the citizens of Charlottetown form “the dregs of the electoral lists.”

St.John Suo: The Conservatives of Prince Eiward Island evidently made a gallant fight against terrible odds, but it was almust too much to expect that they would defeat an administration which carried intimidation ad bribery to an extent hitherto unknown in the island proyince, and which had at its service the full campaign machinery of the federal goverument.

Church Evangelist : The Colonia] premiers have been made much of during their stay in England, and although the plan of [mperial Federation has probably not been advanced in any material way in point of detail, and although the result of any consultation upon the matter may for the moment only have emphasized the natural difficulties surrounding the quee- tion, there can be no doubt that the inter— ! change of niews between the Colonial office and the representatives of the Colonies, inust have advanced the Imperial idea and deepened Imperial sentiment. Mr. Cham- belain’s alleged plan of an Imperial repres- entation in the House of Lords wiil hardly satisfy the Cononies, it could only be a representation of wealth if the present rule

aod e‘onomical methods of manufacturing butter and cheere, and of feeding cattle to produce the best resulta in obtaining milk. In eaerfog upon evch @ task a va-t amount inherited and individual pre- judice has to be overcome at the verv threshold. The farmer whore wife and daughter has earned a local reputation for cheese and butter—and every district in which dairying i4 av industry possesses such paragons—very natural- ly presents any process of levelling up. But prejudice bas appareatly been overcome, for experimental dairies, stationary or partabie according to the needs of the district, have been e+tablished everywhere from Prince E iward [=land to British Columbia. Professor Robertson’s individual skill as scheese and butter maker had been demonstrated long before bis appointment. But his resources as an organizer on the larger scale had «till to be proved, aud the preof is found not only in the nomber of establishments now suc- ces-fully at work, bu, still more fercibly, in the steady aunual increases of butter and ch ese exports and the continuous improy: - mentin quality, Tt was recently! declared by a Cenalian gentieman at @ meeting ip Liverpoo! that his country mannafactured the best cheese in the world.

At the prerent moment, as combined result of treedom from admixture of foreign facts and excellence of manafacture, it 1s stated thatsimost the entire output of ‘the Doninion obtains the topmost prices in tre British markets as the “Best Canadian.” Recent writers ou the ecovomicsa of the dairy have dwelt with almost unanimous voice On the importance of winter butter- making. So faras Great Britain is con- cerned, first-zrade native butter is almost as much a season Juxury as sirawberries or green peas. The bulk of winter-mad- butter has a tallowy and uninviting arpect in Some cases accompanied by uumirtak- able sugzestions in its flavour of a bulbous dieton the part of the cow. There are indications in the record of Canadian ex- periments, however, that winter may be as favourable as summer for the manutacture of butter if the conditions as to maternity and 1oodare met in asufficiently accommc- dating spirit. Winter butter-making in the Dominion, which in Ontario alone is pow conducted in some 140 creameries and factories, bad its beginning so recently as 18¥1-92 in the establishment by Protessor Robertson of two experimental winter creameies, The Comusissioner’s work on the Government Experimental Farm has been invaluable. He devouted furty acres to cattle sustenance exclusively, with the object of showing that by a proper relec- tion of todders the number of animals kept upon @ given area could be doubled. The fertility of the forty acre plot was main- tained by the application of the manure from the animals themselves—a_princip'e whose value 18 recogn zed in this country by the folding of sheep upon turnips when practicabie. He was able eventually to keep thirty cattle ou the produce of the forty acres, and he is convinced that the number is capable of still further increase, even to the extent of acow peracre. The practical evolution of the cold storage transport service is large ¥ owing to the far sightedne-s aad practica: knowledge of the Commissioner. His doc trine a8 to the digestive capacity of Great Britain for foreiga foods will receive more cheerful endorsement from the consumer than the native farmer. Great Britain, he declares, “is the market to which perishable food products from all civilized lauds on the surface of the globe are sent, It is the fact, unfor.unateiy perbaps, that there is no country in the world ro largely depen- dent <n foreign food supplies ae Great Britain. Canadian cheese bas already established itself firmly in British markets, in view of the fact that out of 340,259,064 pounds of butter imported from abroad last year, Canada contributed only 9,89&- J84 pounds ber, determination to “capture the market” will find ready sympathisers. Her people are our kith aud kin, thoy have recently shown their good will in practical ehape by extending to our goods exceptionaliy favourable terms, and since we must susiain oursslv 8 layey upp the produce of otber lands, there is every reason why Canada should have our cus- to.a rather than ccuntries which bear us no overweening affection, e-pecially when she is aetermined to conquer by virtue of & superior article and by that alone”

ANGLO-AMERICAN RELATIONS (Sy;ecial to the Star.)

New York, July 23.—The Sun’s spe- cial from Loudon says: The newspaper- here priut prominentiv what is Claimed to bean authoritative statement regarding the pus tiup Of Great Britain aod tbe Unit d States on the peuding questions,

The statement dwells upon the deter- minationof Sir Julian Panncetote to ex- change the ratitications ot the Venezuelau agreement before he left Washington for England. This occupies longer than was expected, and, subsequently, there was considerable correspoudence on the subject ot a renewal of the diplomatic relations between Great Britain and Venezuela. The iatter country erroneously believed that the signature of the arbritration vreaty had been effected. This, asa matter of course, will be the next step.

Probably there will be direct negotia- tions between Great Britain and Vene-

zeula for a commercial treaty.

The negotiations concerning the umpire of an arbitration tribunal! are sji!l proceed- ings. The statement goes on to say that the failure of the Anglo-American arbitra- tion treaty greatly dieappointed Mr. Mc- Kinley, The British Government bus induced a@ discussion between Sir Julian Pauncefote and Secretary Sherman a: to whether a new treaty could not shortly be arrived at.

Negotiations to this end have progressed favorably and will be resumed in October on his return to his post.

The statement declares that the outlook for a Satisfactory solution of the sealing question is favorable. When S.r Julian Pauncefote returns, the commissioners, Mesers Gordon and Thompson, will go to Washington and report the result of their inquiries. They will be examined by both the representativesof the United States and ef Great Britain, who will then come to an agreement as to the exact fact of the situation.

It is believed, says the statement, that there will not be much difliculty in thie, as a wise spirit on both sides, to smooth away difficulties, ought to be observed, and some lasting arrangement on the fair give and take principle aav be established

Montreal Star: The determined and plucky fight of the Prince Edward Island Conrervatives, though unsucceasful, may have its beneficial effect on the local Con- servatives of other provinces. In Ontario where in all probability the next provincial general election will take place, Mr. Whitney is entering into the fight with great vigor, and Premier Hardy, who has not the magic of Sir Oliver’s name to conjure with, is being warned of the aanger of defeat. The Goderich Signal—a loyal Liberal sheet plaiuly tells its lesders that “there is a big fight before the Liberal party,” and that “if other constituencies are like the Hurons, the Liberals should be

mending fences instead of grinning:”
