THE

DAILY EXAMINER.

MARCH 9%, 1891. Patrietic Methods.

Tar duty of a public journal in publish- ing the news of the day is subject to cer tain regulations regarding which there ahould be no question. One of these is clearly that it should be truthful. To tell a lie is a grave fault which subjects the culprit to well-merited contempt. But is « false statement less a lie because it appears ip the columns of a newspaper? We think there can be but one answer to this queston,

—at least by all right-minded people. lf thia ia so, then our contemporary, the Patriot, just now must occupy an unen- viable position with the right thinking por tion of the country. We do not hesitate to wake the assertion that the Patriot for the ‘nat few weeks has most shamefully per- carted facts in order to bolster up the fall- iag fortunes of # ruined and discredited political party. The proof of this is to be found in its colamns. We do not refer to sach expressions of opinion as:

“TORIES BADLY RATTLED. “SiR JOHN’S GOVERNMENT AND fHE TORY PARTY DOOMED.” “NOVA SCOTIA WILL CERTAINLY

SEND 13 LIBERALS, PROBA. BLY 16, TO OTTAWA.’ “SiR JOHN'S DEFEAT ALMOST CERTAINTY.’ “ KING'S COUNTY SOLID FOR Me- INTYRE AND ROBERTSON.”

These were merely the exuberant effor- veacence of our contemporary and of those gifted aod brilliant assistants who gave their services to make the column of tele- erama attractive. They deceived no ove. Bat when the Patriot, in giving a forecast uf hte election by the Toronto Telegram, de- clared it to be a Tory paper, it declared that to be s fact which it knew wee not a fact. The Telegram ia uct, and never was, 4 Tory or a Conservative paper. Ita editor east a horoscope of the result of the clec- tion, giving the Government a majority of nine. This he had oa perfect right to do, and the Patriot had a perfoct right to re- prodace it. ut deliberately to state that the Telegram was a Tory paper was a mis- statement{made with the object of deceiv- ing and misleading the pub’ic. We do not wish to use atrong language.

Satarday’s telegrams are a4 inexact as usual, without the pour excuse that they might help ‘‘ the cause.” For the cause is lost—hopelessly, utterly lost. And yet there appears the statement that Sir A. Caron, the Minister of Militia, has been defeated, a statement made without avy authority whatever ; for on Thursday night the news of his election was telegraphed all over Canada, ond appeared in all respect- sble journala.

The Patriot, no doubt, finds it hard to save itself from the methods of its party. But, ia all seriousness, we would aak whe- ther, now that the election is over and mis- representation is powerless to hurt, would itnot be ss well to adhere to the truth ? Or shall we see in to-day’s issue a repetition of the offence,—some such an- fnouncement aa that Mr. Laurier has been invited to form a new ministry, and lias seut for ** Perry the Noble” to assume the duties of Minister of Finance ?

-- A despatch from Ottswa received to- day reports ‘the Governmezt majority is uow decided at forty-one.”’

--lt ia a noticeable fact that wherever Lourier, Fisher and Davies apoke in the Maritin.e Provinces, at the end of last year, the Onpositionists were *‘anowed under.” ity they hadn’t stamped the whole of this Vrovince~and taken Choquette in their trains.

-~ We anticipated that the Patriot would have taken the earliest opportunity to correct the contents of its

telegram in Friday's issue, stating that Ministers Caron and Foster were defeated. The Patriot knew at noon on Friday that Hon. Mr. Foster was elected—and also that Sir Adolph Caron had been returned tor Rimouski, redeeming that constituency. What contidence can s fair minded Liberal have in the o of its party? By the way, las the Patriot yet heard that Hon. Wilfred Laurier, leader of the Opposition waa defeated in Richmond and Wolfe by 320, and that Sir John A. Macdonsid was elected in Kingston by a majority of 451?

> a nna —

The British Press. a . Tue English and Scotch papsia to hand contain articles in respect to the situation in Canada. The Glasgow Herald says : “The disclosure that a number of prominent politicians in the Dominion are anxious for its apnexssion to the United States, and | carry their ardour to such a point as to sug- gest to the Washington authorities means for | injuring the trade and hampering the com: | merce of their own country is, from one point of view, sufficiently unpleasant. But in _ other aspect the revelation may be consider: as very well-timed. It removes all possibility of doubt or ambiguity about the ultimate in-

tentions of thase who have raised the fisg of unrestricted reciprocity. Mr. Laurier, Mr. Mercier, and other Liberal leaders may

for the future declaim about their loyalty to Great Brit: in as much as they please. Nobody will betieve them, for the tangivle proot exists that, whatever their intentions may be, there are men behind them w ho re gard ‘* free Trade U aited States” oniy 2&5 & meana to an end, and that end annexation. The Canadiane generally will have to face the issue of their continued national existence more seriously than ever they did before. It is useless to ignore the fact that their destines are in their own If, as

with the

hands & body, which they wish to be absorbed in the United States—if they prefer to be ruled from Washington and legislated for by the American Congress, rather than tolerate the slight measure of control which is still exer: cised over them from Downing Street—they will doubtless be able to realize their desires. it is atlirmed in some quarters that such senti- ments prevail widely throughout the Domin- ion, especially among the agricultural popula. tion. There ia, however, the strongest reason to doubt the trath of this assertion; and in fact when the Canadians reckoned up what they would lose and what they x ould gain by exchanging membership of the British Empire for union with the Republic, it is difficult to perceive why there should be any hearty desire for the change, except ainong a few self-secking political wire-pullers who ‘are anxious for a wider tield of operations than they can have at Torontoor Ottawa. In anycasethe feeling of the electorate upon the question will he very definitely indicated a few days hence at the polling-booths, and it may be surmised that the consti:uencies will recoil with indignation and disgust from attesting their sympathy with the party that bas been willing to further its end by such methods as those which Sir John Macdonald justly denounces, As Sir Charles Tupper very effectively demonstrated at Toronto on Tuesday night, the dilemma of the champions of unrestricted reciprocity is one from which there is no escape. Either their policy is deliberately designed as a step towards annexation, in which case they are sailing under false colors, and trying to gull the Canadian people, or otherwise Free Trade with the United States will mean discrimin- ation against the mother countiy, the regula- tion of their fiscal system in the interest of the United States, the destruction of their manufactures, and a great increase of direct taxation. In neither »lternative is the oppo sition programme particularly seductive,”

The Scotaman says :

“The policy of ‘ unrestiicted reciprocity ’ with the neighboring Republic, which bas been adopted by the Liberal leaders in the Dominion, is diamctrically opposed to the sympathetic and understanding spirit which has gained so much progress of recent years in the mother country, and there is reason to believe, in the Colonies, and which has received tentative erabodiment in schemes of Imperial Federation, and of a Customs Union embracing the different parte of the Empire. It cannot be regretted, therefore, that the interestivg debate upon Mr. Howard Vincent's motion took place at & time when the Canadian people are standing, »s would appear, at the parting of the ways, and deliberating whether they shall ia future pay tribute to the Ameri- can Republic, or consult their truer interests and duty by remaining staunch in spirit and in letter to their connection with the Vritish Crown. They can see at least the light in which the mother country regarde the Colonies generally, and the Dominion of Canada in particular, Great pride is taken ia their

rogress. Deepinterest is felt in their affairs,

he mother country has granted them the fullest control over their own fortunes, and haa not reserved to itaelf even the right of objecting when by their laws and tariffs they inflict what we may deem injustice upon our citizens and impose burdens upon our trade, That does not prevent us from being ready to receive, and even going out of the way to search for, proposals by which the intercourse hetween the Colonies and the United Kingdom may be made more close and intimate.

“*{t has to be observed that the Opposition seek to defend themselves from the charge of disloyal intriguing with Washington, by throwing the original blame upon the Cana- dian Premier, They are the friends, they aay, of Free Trade. But Free Trade has been rendered impossible, They must try to get the next best thing; and this is }'ree Trade, or Unrestricted Reciprocity, with the United States. They are still loyal in feeling to the British Crown; but in a question where pockets are concerned, every country must look out for itself, and when loyalty and fair play tothe mother country come into conflict with the business interests of Canada, the former must take a back seat. Sir Jolin Macdonald was not wrong in describing this attitude as “sordid.” ranting that the proposed Reciprocity will be entertained by the United States, and that its advantages to Canada are what they are described in Oppo- sition speeches—and both these inferences are vehemently denied—po fancied trade benefits cou!d be an adequate justification of abandon- ment of principle and dereliction of duty. We hesitate to accept, without further proof, the grave and penal charges of treasonable conspiracy hurled against Mr. Farrer, Sir Richard Cartwright and others by the Goay- ernment leaders. In weighing them, some- thing should perhaps be allowed for the heat and vehemence of partizan conflict. But the sayings and doings of the members of the Oppesition themse!ves show that they are ‘eady to lower principle, imperil peace, and incur the most serious responsibilities, if thereby, for their own and their country’s profit, they can climb back to office. The Canadian election is a contest for p'ace, in which one of the sides, at least, is ready to sacrifice the past and pawn the future of Canada, inthe hope of getting ahead of its rival.

“The American party have showed their hand too plainly. Some of their false cards have been turned upon the table. It hag been made manifest that their policy, even if it could be shown te be profitable, is none the less mean and pnsi!lanimous, It is yielding to compulsion, threat and bribe, what is rcfused to honorable and generous dealing. From the ‘true North,” which the Poet Laureate praised for its tone of Empire end its scorn of such as were ready to cry, ‘So loyal is too costly; loose the bond and go! we should harely expect to find approval of politicians who make no account, in their semet bar gainings for trade advantages, of the traditions and status of their country, their own pledges, and the rights of other nations dwelling under the same flag. But besides pointing out the road of honor and of loyalty, it will be well that those who are fighting the battle of British as against United States supremacy in

the Dominion, should take pains to show that

duty is also the way in which the most substantial an well us the highest interests of the Dominion will ae best served. This also should not be difficult. The disloyal course, veikd or open, will. be the more coatly in the end. Commercially and socially, Canada has thriven as rapidly | and steadi'y under the protection of the | British flag, and in complete contro] of its destinies, ne it could have done hed it heen chained to the car of American politics, its people should kaow that they have every: ihing to gain and nothing to loas by strength-
