We invite careful attention to the letter

of the vigorous President of Canada’s great

railway. He speaks, not as politician, bur

as & man of business who is forced to ex-

press his opinion on account of the untrue

reports circulated by the Opposition. His criticism of the motives which actuate the Washington politiciana is elear and incisive, and trae beyond a doubt. Mr. Yan Horne knows whereof he speaks. The picture he draws of the present condition of the farmers of

the Great t.e farmers of Canada, infinitely better

tepublie is fuli of meaning for We are, he points off. We

clistress

cnet? have no

;

sbandoned iarms, no anywhere. , *

The following sentences illustrate the case :

“Our neighbor's big mill-pond is very low just now, but our smaller onc is at least full enough to keep us going comfortab'y. His pond requires twelve times as much as ours to fill. Itis mot necessary that a small boy should be a school boy to kaow whats the re. sult would be if we were to cut our dam—our pond would at once fall to the level of the other. ven if we were suffering from hard times we could gain nothing from unrestricted reci- jwocity. Ne man oi sense would seek partner- ship with one worse off than himself because ive happened to be hard up |”

Mr. Van Horne is, undoubtedly, one of the shrewdest of men. What does he say about the tendency of Unrestricted Reci- procity in respect to -our cities / again his words and bear in mind that the imtereats of our country are indissolubly hound up with the interests of our towns

“Jt (the Canadian Pacific Railway) buys almost every conceivable thing, and it is necessarily in close tonch with markets at tome and abroad. It has built up or been in- stramental in building up hundreds of new in- ustries in the country and it is the chief

upport of many of them, and its relations with these markets and these industries justifies my belief that unrestricted reciprocity with the United States, and a protection tariff against the world would make NEW YORK THE CHIEF DISTRIBUTING POINT FOR THE DOMINION instead of Montreal and Toronto, would localize the business of the rts of Montreal and Quebec, and DESTROY ALL HOPE OF THE FUTURE OF THE PORTS oF HALIPAX AND ST.

Another Apology Due.

\s reported by the Guardian, His Wor- ship the Mayor said, at the W, C. T. U. meeting held last evening :

“He had stated at the beginning of the Scott Act. contest that at the expiration of the thirty daye the Governor-General would issue the proclamation. He was right, and Tue EXAMINER and the constitutional lawyers who inspired it were wrong. and there is how what is popularly kuown as free rum.”

la point of fact THe Examiner stated (Dee. 19):

‘*Taxpayer” is undoubtedly right in his con- tention that the Scott Act will, in the event of the petition being sustained by a majority of the electors, continue be law in Charlotte. town for a specified period of time. We be- lieve that he is wrong in his statement that the period is sixty days. The period is, if we mistake not, thirty days. At tle expiration of thirty daysafter an adverse voteof the majority the operation of the Act in Charlottetown will be stayed.

It will, we think, be admitted that Tne EXAMINER is entitled to another apology on the part of His Worship. By the way, His Worship’s former debt to Tae Exas- ‘NER (of the same kind) has not yet been paid.

-The Ottawa Grits are in’ trouble over the soup kitchens which they established out of pure christian charity, without doubt, never having athought of an elec- fion in the near fature. Poor dear Dr. Mark, after all his trouble, could not get consumers for his soup, and the humane poulterer, from whose establishment the exhilarating beverage was dispensed, dis- covered by a sudden loss of customers, that he had put his foot in it badly. His pations did net want to be suspected of visiting his premises looking for soup, and so they quietly transferred their custom across the street to a market which had no soup kitchen attached. Then some “ealous Grits started a soup depot in Lower Town, with the result that Father Prud’homme, of St. Anne’s parish, told them next Sun- day from the pulpit that if that soup kitchen was not closed immediately, he would bring the Archbishop aleug and close it up instanter. He said the charitable societies of the parish could look after all the poor in that parish, and he did not want any monkeying by pvuliticians. So that soup kitchen died a violent death, and nothing has been heard of it breaking out anywhere since. The Grit soup kitchen ig pretty well stamped out of Oitawa.
