FALSE TO THE FARMERS.

Tuoves unsuccessful in Parliament, Mr. Davin’s attack on the Ministers on account of their breach of faith concerning agricul- tural machinery and implements cannot failto make adeep impression on the country. The protection afforded to the “bloated manufacturers of agricultural machinery ” by the Literal Conservatives, and the consequent enlargement of the prices whieh the overvurdeved farmers had to pay, was one ofthe points upon which the present ministers and their frien 3 mainly dwelt when talking to the farwers during the election campaign and for years previously. Everyone will re- member that this ‘outrageous wrong’ was to be speedily righted as a result of Liberal victory! But the yotes of the farmers having been obtained and the victory won, the Liberal Government is content to pat two cents a fig additional tax on the farmers’ tobacco, to add to the price of his coloured shirts and cottoa goods, to take away all Government as- sistance from the infant dairy industry in this Province, and to forget all about the oft-repeated promises to take the duties off agricultural machinery! Mr. Davin has done well to accentuate this fact in Parlis- went. The Liberal-Conservatives, general- ly, true to their principles when in opposi- tion as well as when in power,did not vote for Mr. Davin’s resolution, while the Liberals, false to their pre-election pro- mises and their free trade principles stood by the ministers who deceived the farmers—and so Mr. Davin’s motion was lost. All the same Mr. Davin did well to bring the matterup io Parliament , and expose the moral weakness of a party which dared not to put in a defence of its conduct. Mr. Davin has made good his position that the Ministry bas proved false to the farmers in respect to the duties upon agricultural machinery.

OUR DAIRY INDUSTRY’

Tue advisability of wholly withdrawin 3

Government patronage from the dairy in- dustry in this Province has bzen called in question, on the floor of Parliament, by Mes:rs. Macdonald and Martio, and has not been set forth, let alone proved, by the Hon. Mr. Fisher, the Hon. Mr. Davies or any of their supporters. It is not desired that our cheese industry should be a bur- den upon the Government of Canada. That it has never been. But we do think that the Government have shown over” haste in taking away that stimulus to cor- dial, mutual co-operation which was afforded by the late administration, and which is absolutely essential tothe success of our dairy industry. As Messrs. Mac- donald and Martin have reported ta Par- liament, there are several lately-established and still weak factories in this Province which need, for a time, the continued fostering care bestowed by the Government dairymen; and if the Government patron- age had not been withdrawn, other cheese and butter companies would, without doubt, in the near future be organized here and there throughout the county, It is possible, of course, that the dairy industry will grow and prosper without the supervision of Professor Robertson and Mr. Dillon. We hope that it will. The point is that the Government do not seem to care whether it will or not. They have got rid of Mr. Dillon, broken up the Gov- ernment establishment here, and with- drawn to the Great Northwest.

In the interests of our dairy industry as a whole—the strong factories as well as the weak—it is to be regretted that the Government has deprived the Proyince of the great advantages afforded by the super- vision of Mr. Dillon. Mr. Dillon has won the confidence of our farmers. They be- lieve that he is honest and will do that which is fair between man and man. For that reason, Mr. Dillon’s influence in smoothing over the difficulties which arise in the conduct of the business and in re- movirg grounds of jesleusy and suspicion

authoriiy or etiect in such cases, DEPARTMENTAL SAVINGS.

Tae Ottawa correspondent of the Halifax Herald deals with some of th? savings instituted by the new Ministers in the con- Here comments on a few of tie votes recently

duct of their departments. are nis

passed by the House of Commons :—

“Mr. Paterson camein with his cus- toms’ estimates, asking for $33,600 as against $39,987 voted lust Aagnest for tie current year. Thisisa pretend-d saving o' $1,387, but Mr. Paterson dil not explarv tuat the total amount spent last year by Clark Wallece was only $34,632, or $3963 I-33 thav Mr, Paterson requires.”

“The trade and commerce vote also passed. It shows an increase of $58 over the vote of the curreut year, but an increase of $1,874 over the amount u-ed by the laie government in the last year of their administration ”

“Mr. Blair came before the house claiming a reduction of $4,832 and ask- ing for $39,230. But Mr. Blair while stating that the amount voted for the

wes

current year wWwa3 $44,062, omitted to observe that his predecessor in the last year of the late gov-

ernment managed to pull through with $40,534, so that the reduction is only $1.304. From that must be taken the sum ot $670 which is the allowance made to Mr. Balderson, who has been retired, leaving a saving of $700 instead of seven times that much.

“The financial position of Sir Henry Joly’s department is this: The amount voted last summer for the current year was $38,250. The amount now asked for next year is $38,540, an increase of $290. The proper comparison, however, is not with the amount voted last August, but with the amouot expended in the year ending last June by the late goveroament. That expenditure was $36,830, so that Sir Henry Joly is asking for $1,710 more than was required by his predecessor.

By these instances we may judge all the savings effected. How Grit economy shines forth in comparison with Tory extravagance !

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Toronto Globe: Now that the Turk is succeeding it is remarkable how rapidly he is rising in general public estimation.

St John Sun :—Europe, led by England, is now engaged in the task of rescuing the Greeks from the consequences of their follv.

Montreal Star: A distressing feature of war is that the nation which has to pay for the fun is the very one which does not get it.

Mailand Empire: Free trade as we have it in Canada means a tax of a dollar and a half on a book of learning that we must inport, and a tax of about a c@nt upon the yellow-colored dime novel that we are

better without.

Moncton Times: When offisials of Con- servative leanings or coming from Conser- vative families are dismissed from the public service the excuse is made that the service must be purged of “partizansbip.” When those who have taken an active part in politics on the Liberal side are appointed to cflice, the government is commended for recognizing “services” rendered to the party.

Now York Sun: Every 4 merican citizen who subscribes to the proposed preposter- ous tribute to Queen Victoria should bea marked man. His should be the fate of tlrose Tories of the Revolutionary epoch, who, for their betrayal of their country and shameful subservience to George III. were branded, ostracized and eventually hound- ed out of their aative land.

Montreal Gazette: A feature of the tariff situation is the number of Liberals, members of Parliament and others, who appear on delegations to the Government, asking for a reconsideration of the tariff changes that aff-ct their particular locali- ties. They are finding that free trade asa theory may be all right, but in practice in this country it is near being all wrong.

Halifax Herall: A year or so ago it was a favorite theorv of the Grit papers and politicians that Ly reducing the duves the customs revenue would be increased. it was then pointed out that if that took place it must be at the expense of home industry and the Canadian industry would ceulf-r. The .Grits never attempted to meet the argument; they took ro interest nthe Canadian workmen. The result is even worse than anticipated; the increas- ed revenue bas not come bat Canadian workmen have the revenues needed to feed their femilies suddenly cut off.

A goo! deal of the Turkish success in the war with the Geeeks appears to be due to the superior artillery of the Sultan’s army. Well-directed shell fire is Cemoralizing to seasoned troops; and the force that can best make use of it, either through the number of its guns or the ¢fliciency with which they are served, has an advantage at the beg nning of the fight that must go far towards settling the result. The field gun makers are likely to be busy for some Lime as an Outcome of what is transpiring in Thessaly.

According to a despatch to the London Daily News from St. Petersbury, a terrible crime, the result of superstivuon, has been committed at Tirespol, iv the government of Fherson. Recently seventeen of the hermits disappeared, aud it was believed that they had emigrated in fear of the impending day of judgment. But a hermit named Kowalind has confessed that he walled them up alive in response to their earnest entreaties that they might receive the martyr’s crown. The police examined the spot and verified the confession,

President Kruger’s proposal to make June 22 an officia] holiday in the Trans- vaal in hbenor of the Queen’s Jubilee, helped to moderate the warlike feeling in London, béing accepted as a_ practical recognition of British suzerainty. Tben again, English armour propre has been much tickled by President Kruger’s re- ported tribute to the effect of England’s filving squedron. ‘‘ Ask him,” said the President, through an interpreter to a pro- German visitor, “ what good Germany The old woman just sneezed and Germany was nowhere to be seen.”
