The treaties have been denounced and Liberals now occupy the ground sought by They are, iv point of fact, trying to carry out the Conservative policy of free trade within the Empire and protection against the world. They have been compelled by the force of circumstances to repudiate the policy with which they went to the country while in opposition and to wear in office the political clothes left them by their predecessors. It will be interesting to note their future conduct. Sir Charles Tupper and his supporters in Parliament, must naturally regret that they are not in office. Yet they cannot but fee! flattered by the fact that their oppo— neuts are trying to carry out their policy. How they will do so is the question. There are now but one or two important points of difference between the parties, The Conservatives strove to obtain prefer- ential treatment in the British markets ; -be Liberals have relinquished this claim. Phe Conservatives strove in recent years © reduce taxation and keep down expendi- ures ; the Liberals have increased taxation nd added millions to the expenditures. “hese points of difference will, of course ve noted by the people of Canada.

piece of legisiation ever sprung ov an en- lightened people. How it will amuse our Austraiian, South African-and Yankee friends tothink of Canada’s statesmen! and the vaunted enterprise of its leading men during the recent jubilee celebration in London.

“‘So the unfortunate men who are now in the Yukon and others on the road there are all to be taxed ten per cent monchly on every $500 dug out of the ground, and twenty per cent for thing exceeding. It is not that these unfortunates should risk their lives and travel at great expense, and endure every i.aaginable har iship, to develop the resources of the most inhoe. No, our brilliant statesmen, who are living in Civilization on the fat of the land, and, judging from their actions, should one and and all be driving oxen, say ‘ We will block vour enterprise, ye hardy sons of every nation.’

“On several occasions Canada have had to assert their rigl ts against villainous legislation. This is one more Occasion when this will have tobe done, and blood. shed that should nou be.

“The sooner Sir Wilfred Laurier comes back to look after his brood of irrespon- sibles, the better for himself and party.”

The Drummond County Railway appro- priations, the tariff tinkering, the Crows’ Nest Pass affair, and other matters have also been condemned by the Bulletin. The difference between the Bulletin and some other papers is that the Bulletin seems to be thoroughly alive to the kind of Govern ment with which Canada is now affiicted.
