‘Liberals and Queen's

The local Liberal machine is in a quandary. 1t u now‘ definitely set- tled that the vacant senatorship-is, to go to Hon. John a. Sinclair, not; lo much’ because his claims are greater than those of some others, but because he had little Prospects of being re-elected as a membe of the House. His weakness proved his

strength in this case. The Govern-

orship is to remain in the possession: that unless it is framed for-the n'a-|

of the l-lon. Prank 1=t. Heartz until after the election, when Mr. R. H. Jenkins if defeated will have its re-f fusal, having by that time run three' elections and thus justifled his pre- fennent.

The question of a successor to Mr. Sinclair as candidate is the cause of the Liberal quandary. There are several aspirants. Mr. S. A. McLeod would have been a popular choice, but he has definitely decided not to allow his name to go forward. Other local 33y mentioned are Mr. H. M. Davison, M’. Mark R. McGulg- an, Mr. E. T. l-iiggs, l-Ion. W. M. Lea. Any of these it is understood, would be prepared to make the grand sac- rifice of carrying the Liberal ‘colours in defeat. But while these are in the running, and the strings are being pulled in their favour, the flat has gone forth fromOttawa that Dr. Cyrus MacMillan must be the selec- tion. Naturally the local Liberals feel rather sore and distressed at being deprived of a free choice, and if they do bend the knee in humble submission it will be with sore hearts and dejected spirits.

Oi course, there are other aspir- ants, including Hon. Peter Sinclair, who would have no objection to step- ping into his brother's shoes, but the rank and file think the l-lon. John is more than sufficient to represent the family at Ottawa.

The Dunning tariff is as far as pos- l ‘sible from anybodys conception oi a scientific tariff, and it is a notable specimen oi what is meant by budget quackery. 1t is not based on an idea of national policy. The finance min- ister disclaims any idea of it being an antidote to the ill-effect of the United States ultra-protective duties on staples of Canadian production. It is not the result oi a careful study of the needs oi our producers. One‘ element in the queer compound is a

nosis of what ails Canada, but there is a tacit confession that the country has suffered greatly from the King] Government's former unwisetinker- ing with the tariff. That is the dis-i tinctive feature of the Dunning bud- i get. It is a cold-blooded admissloni that what the King Govcrnmcnt prb- fessed in the past and what it prac- ticed on this unfortunate country was but so much economic quackery. There is no repentance. There is no humble attempt to make up for the injury the Government wrought in the last eight years against the peo- ple of Canada. A few drops from the Conservative toriic has been slipped into the mixture. but that will neith- er mend nor deceive our suffering industries. The Dunning tariff is of no economic use to this Dominion and it will prcve oi little tactical value to the King Government.

constructed in 1836 between 5t. Johns, Que. and Paprairle; it was sixteen miles long and was operatcd by horses, for which locomotives were substituted in 1837. The second roil- way was opened in 1047, and the third in i848. In 1850 there were onlyiw" miles of railway in Canada. The railway era propcr may be said to have begun in i851 with the in- auguratiou of the Grand Trunk sys- subsidlary lines throughout Ontario and Quebec. At Confederation these had grown to

7 ‘i399 miles. The next step was the

building of the Canadian Prociflo Rflway, oolnpleted in i885, which madé the West an integral part of the Dominion.
