“With regard to administrative policy tre result will make no materia! changes. Major McKinley will contioue the sound money currency policy that alienated the Democratic party from President Cleveland and his Administration. fle is the apos- tle of unreasonable protection, but the exnerience of the people with one escapade in “McKinleyism” wil! effectually preclude the possibility of another. The newly- elected President i+, with the inconsistency peculiarto protectiovists, @ believer in reciprocity, and his victory may facilitate @ commercial arrangement advantageous to both Canada and the United States. The result on American politics will probably be a new adjustment of the party lines ac- cording to industrial or financial conditions

The chief organ of all the Liberals must have been napping when it called in ques- tion the consistency of a protectionist who is a believer in reciprocity. Only a pro- tectioniat can believe in reciprocity and be consistent! The “free traders of Great Britain consistently repudiate the idea oi reciprocity. They hold to the theory that jt is to the advantage of the people of Great Britain that all shail trade freely in the markets of Great Britain. Conse- quently they cannot offer the advantage of reciprocal trade to any foreigner or out- sider—not even totheir own Colonies. But the protectionists of the States are in a position to ray “if you will give us an ad- yatage in your markets, we will give you

an sivantage in ours.” There is no reason whatever why the M Kinley administration should

not, with perfect cousistency, enter into 8 treaty of reciprocity with Canada. But will they do so upon terms fair to Canada, and without a heavy discrimination against our Mother Couatry? We know tha: tiney declined to do 80 at the solicitation of Sir John Thompson and Mr. Foster; and we believe that they wil] decline to do so at the solicitation of Sir Richard Cart- wright and Mr. Fielding. What we have to fear is that the latter will be ready to do that which the former refused to do. The late Government of Canada would not even consider a proposition to discrimin- a'e in respect to trade against Creat Britain for the advantage of the United States. Butitis to be feared thatthe present Government of Canada will, in their eseraess for reciprocity with the United States, concede more than they ought to concede, Those who clamored for Com- mercial Usion and Unrestricted Recipro city are wot to be trusted to negotiate for reciprocity with such high protectionist» as Mr. McKinley. When it is remembered that the nationality of Caneda and the trade interests of the Mother Country are alike at stake in the negotiation, it will be admitted that there is cause for watchful- ness on the partof Her Majesty's loyal opposition and the people. +--

NOTES AND COMMENTS:

We have to announce, to-day, the death of Mrs. Lowden. The ead event occurred this afternoon at her residence, near Dundas Esplanade.

—Halifax Herald: The year that the Liberal-Conservative Government came into power after the Mackenzie regime the export trade of Canada was less than $72, 000,000 and the total foreign trade $153, 000,000. The Liberal-Conservatives hand over the control to their opponents with the exports brought up to $121,000,002 and a total trade of $240,000,000.

—Montreal Gazette: Believers in the national school idea would do well not to become too enthusiastic over Mr. Tarte’s Northwest declarations in favor of non- sectarian education. His colleagues have formally repudiated what Mr. Tarte has said about law anits. They may repudiate what he says about schools and public instruction.

—Dealing with Lord Dufferin’s recent

p ech, wherein he favorel arb.tration for tie settlement of Anglo-American disputes the Boston Transcript says: Such senu- ments as have been expressed by Lord Dafferin and Lord Russell upon the proper relations of the Anglo-Saxcp p-oples will

and

idges

find a hearty response in the brea-t of every true American.

Henry Clews the New York banker says: It bas finally been discovered where Bryan cribbed bie “crown of thorns” and “cross of gold” phrases which sufficed toelectrify the members of the Chicago Convention and gain for him the nom- ination. In the play of “ Jack Kade,

the Bondman of Kent,” the hero, in one of his speeches, says: “Upon the brow of toil thou shalt not press the crown of thorns; and the bondman of the soil shall not be crucified upon Mammon’s crose.”

—Co-operative Farmer: We hear a good deal now-a-days about successful milking machines. In some of them, however, a grave difficulty has arisen, viz., that of keeping them clean. When

an apparatus has much rubber tubing and iron piping through which the milk inust pass the dairyman must remember that live steam is about the oniy thing that will cleanse it, and he should be car: - tul not to set it up in his stables unlese it can be properly cleaned. For the aver- age dairyman the best milking machine i- yet the clean, tidy man or woman who has a due appreciation of @ cow’s worth and treats her accordingly.

—Montreal Gazette: The Liberal hulla balloo about the revente growing under Mr. Laurier’s rule has had the gas Jet out of it. The Custome returns for October -hows a falling off at Montrea!, Toronto, Hamiltonand St. Joho, and probably at other points. This is not asign in itself that anything is seriously wrong in the condition of trade in Canada. It is an evidence of curtailed importance, the out- come of a business-like desire on the part of merchants not to be caught four months hence with unnecessary large stocks of merchandise, the market value of which mey be lessened by the free trader’s threatened tar fF changes It is proof that the Laurier-Tarte combination at Ottawa is not yet making business boom.

—Some interesting and curious calcula- tions have been made regarding the profit accruing to the Parisians during the re- cent visit of the Czar. It is estimated that between 1,200,000 and 1,300,000 outsiders visited the city for the merrymaking, and remaived there for nine days. This makes a total of 1,250,000 visitors of nearly 197,- 000,000, or, in round numbers, 200,000,000 francs. This sum does not include pur- chases, but only expenses of travel, sightseeing, and actual maintenance. Of ih‘s sum an eighth is ass'gned to railway trayelling, 7,000,000 to iocomotion in Paris, at Cherbourg, at Versailles, or at Chalons, 32,000,600 to lodgings and to the hire of balconies and windows, 24,000,000 to cafes, cafe concerts, brasseries and theatres, which, however, during the first tive days were little frequented by strangers; 6,000,000 to unforseen expenses, and more than 100,000,000 for eating and drinking. Out of these 100,000,000 the city gained from 10,000,000 to 12,000,000 by the octroi, and the net profits accruing to householders and purveyors of meat and drin« in general is reckoned a! about 58,~ 066,000 franca.

—Two Haligonians—Mr, Frank Cong- don, musical composer,and Mr, W. i. Greenwood, librettest, have brought out a Canadian opera. The Herald reports that the high opinion of the music formed by local judges is shared by the special cor- respondent of the London Mail, Mr Beckles Wilson, who is now in Halifax, and who himself has written both the words and music of songs and has also heen the musical critic of a London paper. Mr. Wilson thinks that with one or two slight modifications “Tristan,” the name of the new opera, should hold the boards in London and Paris. Some of Mr. Congdon’s lighter and mere catching airs— those in which the composer has “stooped to conqner”—are likely to be whistled in the street on the morrow of the first per- formance. Mr. Congdon leaves in a few days for London to seek a hearing fur his work by metropolitan managers. The originality, versatility and excellence of the music have been a revelation to most of its hearere. They are fain to bope and b lieve that Mr. Frank Congdon is the coming Canadian composer, and that “Tristan”, if it gets a fair ehance, may prove the first successful opera produced by Canadians.

THE PROVINCIAL SITUATION.

Letter From Mr, W, 8, Stewart, Q. c.

Sin,—The members of the present local combination when in opposition denounced the alleged extravagance of the then gov~ ernment and promised when placed ind power to make great reductions in expend- iture, especially in the Civil Service.

The Hon. Mr. Farquharson in the House of Assembly in the year 1886, de- clared that the public expenditure should be reduced to the extent of at least $20,- 000, and that the opposition policy would be the means of saving that amount to the Province. :

The same gentleman is reported in the Parliamentary Reporter of 1889, as saying “The public expenditure should be at once reduced to the extent of $15,000 or $25,- 000 per vear, and the cuef r duction should be made in the Civil Service,” and “The opposition are prepared to reduce the public expenditure and to economize 1n such a way as to give the people a chance toenjoy the comforts and luxuries of lite.” Again “The Upposition policy is nut taxation but a reduction of the expend: iture,” and again the House being 1p com- mittee of supply on the resolut-on of grants for educauion, “But if we can cut down the salaries of these officials and save $25,000, we can build up the wharves aad bridges of the Province for the benefit of the country. This is the policy that the »pposition will carry out if they come into power. We intend to reduce the expenses for officials and thereby keep the annual expenditure within the revenue, &c., &ec.’

The Hon. Mr. Sinclair was not far be- hind Mr. Farquharson in making promice+ of what great things would happen when the then Opposition attained to power. In the same year this gentleman is on record as saying: “ If there was a change of gov- ernment scores of these unnecessary offi- cials would be discharged and thousands of dollars would be saved to the country. If this is not soon done the Province wili go toruin”; and eveu Mr. Richards, who is usually guarded and careful in state- ment, declared : “It is of the utmort lin- portance that the government for all time to come should keep the expenditure with- ia the ordinary revenue of the country.”

Need I trouble further with extracts from the speeches of their leader, Mr. Peters, relating to the cutting down of expenditure by his party? I am afraid I would impose too much on the time of your readers and the space of your paper. " They have been in power for over five years, and what record have they made in the way of economising in the public expenditure and reducing the cost of the civil service ?

Their average annual expenditure dur ing a period of five years, from 189! to 1895 inclusive, bas been $307,602.94, and if this is compared with the expenditure of the Sullivan Government during the eight years from 1882 to 1889 inclusive, where the average was only $276,156.19 a year, it will be found that Mr. Sullivan during these eight years provided for all the services of the Province with $31,- 446.75 less money each year, or for eight years $251,574 less than these economical professors have found necessary during their term of office,—although during two of those five years, from 1891 to 1895, there have been no Legislative Council and no reporting, printing and binding ses- sional debates to cost the country some $6,000 a year!

But what about the cost of the civil ser- vice of the Province under the present regime? I mean by the civil service every official of the Province whose name appears in the Public Accou.ts as beiog paid by the Local Government for services done the Province. I do not include in it those temporary Officials who do duty and receive pay when the Legislature is sitting, and the cost of whom is charged in the Public Accounts under the head of Legislation.

Has there been any reduction at all, not to speak of $26,000 or $25,000 a year? We willsee. Take the four yearsfrom 1392 to 1895 for whose expenditure the present government is wholly responsible and compare the cost of the Civil Service in them with its cost during the last four years 1886 to 1889 of the Sullivan Govern- ment.

I: mav be said, however, that for the past two years the present government has beea obliged to bear the cost of collecting its taxes, Compare then its first two years 1892-93 when no taxes were col- lected, with any of the two years of the Sull:van Government I have mentioned and it wil be fonnd thatthe increase of the cost of our Civil Service under the present Government has been about $1000, a year aud this notwithstanding the fact that the Conaty Court clerks are now paid nearly $3000 a year less than they were from 1886 to 1889! Ido not deny that our present rulers have made some slight re- ductious in the pay of certain officials but this has been far more than balanced by the creation of new offices never before thought of.

Let me take another item of the public expenditure and see where the ,present party stands.

There are certain amounts charged in public accounts each year for the travel- ing expenses of certain public officials of the province I do not mean the mileage or mem bersof the Legislative Assembly or Exe- cutive Council but such officials as the Supererintendent of Education Land office officials and the Commissioner and Engineer of Public Works.

I find that che Province has paid for the travelling expenses of such officials during the years I have mentioned as followe*

cases

That is to saygthe present government ha: allowed the expenditure on this item to in- crease during four years to the extent of $1790.59 over what it was during the Jast four years of the Sullivan Government, or it costs the province Peach year $447.64

penses of the officials of the present gov- ernment than it did to pay for those of the Sullivan. Government.

Then there is the item-of printing and stationery. Since the abolition of the Legielative Council in 1893end*the discon tinuation of the parliamentary reporter in

| the same year there ehould have been a very large saving to thé Province in the

bill which it pays for printing, binding and stationary. The thirteen members of the Legislative Council alone received for stationary $156 a year, while the printing and binding of the debatea of the Legislative Council and Assembly with the other stationery used by the officials of the Upper House used to cost on an average over $600 avear. Thatis to sey that the printing and statioacry bill since 1893 ehould be about $750 a year less than it was previously. Yet TF find that the present economical government paid for printing binding and stationery for the year 1894-95 $9195.45 Or a yearly average of $4597.72, while the extravagant Sullivan party only expended for the same purpose during the two Jast years of his premier- ship when the Legislative’Council was in existence and the debates of both houses were printed and bound $8799.68 or a yearly average of $4399.84,

If the difference between what Mr. Sullivan and the present government have paid the clerks of the County Courts Le taken into consideration it will be found that even the cost of the Administration of Justice has been considerably increased by the present regime, altbongh it has the full benefit of the saving effected by a large number of civil cases being tried of late years in the Supreme Court without:juries and for the greater pe of the, savings made in the pay of the Conmy Coart clerks credit should be given to fire ‘Sulli- van government as the ciange was made by it in the year 1889.

I must not forget to mention, however, that the editor of the Patriot has been rummaging among the Public* Accounts with a fine tooth comb and has discovered that the bill for postage nnder the present government hos been $20 a‘ year less thao what was paid by its predecessors. Won- derful discovery! Have the great pro- mises of these men then come down to this, thet although they have been exceedingly extravagant and wasteful in almost every department sf the public service yet in the matter of postage they have managed to save @ few paliry dollars} A few dollars is saved in one direction as an excuse for a tenfold waste in another, Is it any won der that large deficits and harrasing taxa- tion are the order of the day, and that the question is frequently asked if these men are not political hypocrites or iocapables what are they ?
