The reasons for this hope are vs- .-lous. After the first surprise which was caused by the unexpected extent of the proposed changes, 'the agree- nent has been much more generally endorsed by the leading newspapers of the United States than was at _irst expected. .Iudged by these press opinions alone one might expect the ratification of the agreement, but it 'las frequently been found that a popular verdict at the polls has been .juite at variance with the weight oi press opinion, either because the press was in advance of public senti- aient, or from other causes. It is not the ordeal of an immedi- ate election, however, but the verdict of Representatives and Senators in Congress which the agreement has to face. And these Members and Sena- tors are shrewd politicians, nearly equally divided between the two great political -parties, but closely observant of popular opinion, and al- ways having in mind the party ad- vantage. This brings us to consider what would be- the affect of the re- jection of the agreement by the Re- publican majority, 'if they should combine against it.' We must bear in mind that the Re- publican party as the promoters and upholders of high protection have been met by the revolt of the people, including a section of their own par- .ty and the entire Democracy ol the country against the high and in- reasing cost of living caused, as the people believe, by the tariff. From President 'I‘aft's point of view, this uprising must be met by some con- eive the endorsation of Congress bc- cession, and the reciprocity agres- ore the 4th.0f March. 'l‘h`e time isiment is s concession in the least ob- jectionable form that it'can be made. Even the protected interests in the United States had rather consent to reciprocity than to a general reduc- tion of the tariff all around. If reciprocity were to be now re- jected by the Republican party, sup- ported as it is by the Powerful influ- ence 0! the President and his Cabin- et, it would seem likely to promote 5 strong reaction against that party in the minds of the great body of consumers throughout the country and force a large body of Republi- cans into the Democratic ranks at the next election. And even the pro- tected interests rnust see that the end would be not with such minor re- ductions of duties as recrprocity in- volves, but 5 much more sweeping re- duction all along the line. These and other considerations lead us now to think that the agreement may be ratified at Washington and so go into effect at no distant date. Of the result at Ottawa we have never been in doubt, despite the loud outcry raised in certain quarters in Canada. The leading Conservative organs are of course ranked strongly against reciprocity, but it is note- worthy that a good many of the Op- position newspapers, such as the Montreal Gazette, the Ottawa Citi- Zen, the Ottawa Journal, the Toron- to World and others, along with Mr. Monk, s, leading Quebec Conserva- tive, are so exceedingly mild in their criticisms as to show their belief in the general popularity of the recipro- city compact. The Imperial Parliament is now open in its first session and has a most important ministerial program before it, including the Veto Bill, for limiting the powers of the House of Lords and a bill for the payment of Members of the House of Commons. I-Iitherto the members of the British Parliament have been, from time im- memorial, the unpaid servants ofthe nation. Excepting only those holding office in the Government the honor and distinction of holding their seats was their sole reward. In other nations enjoying represen- tative lnstitutions, as in France, Germany, Italy, the United States and in all the British Dominions and Colonies over sea, the rule has been to ay the members of Parliament ei her an annual or Sessional salary or 1 nity, ranging from such small as the members of our Provinci gislature receive, up to the $2,500 paid to our Senators and Members at Ottawa, and to much larger payments in other and more important national Parliaments. The British system of gratuitous service had its distinction, certainly, and also some possible advantages, but the disadvantages were also con- siderable, and the plan was out of line with that adopted and approved by other nations of the civilized world. It made for centuries of the House of Commons a sort of gen- tlcmen‘s club, and excluded almost entirely the poor man, or the man of moderate means from seeking or ob- taining a seat in that body. Only poor men of the highest talents could obtain a seat, and if a seat were obtained he could ill afford to attend upon his duties during the very long sessions. The change now to be brought a- bout is the natural result oi the re- peated extensions of the voting fran- chise and the awakened desire of the plain people to be represented in Parliament by the best of their own class. rather than by the wealthy or the titled mediocrities who had so of- ten been chosen in the past. It means less of culture, perhaps, in the Bri- tish Parliamenta that are to be here- | _ : :-MacKinnon's Condition Powders put up in tin cans are having a big sale this season.

We see no danger in the change, because the plan of paying represen- tatives, as other officials of the coun- try are paid for their public services ihas been tried all over the world and lstands approved by experience. THE PATRIOT IS WRONG. Under the so-called modusvivendi American fishing vessels were allowed to fish in Canadian waters on pay- ment of a license fee of $1.50 per ton of such vessels and were also permit- ted to purchase bait and supplies and to tranship their catch. This was not free fishing, brit fishing under license. The American negotiators were desir- ous' to secure free fishing, that is to have the above Privileges without lic- ense. This the Canadian ministers very properly refused.
