Canadians probably know. little of the arts of diplomacy but they surely know enough to mind their own bus- iness when so candidly invited to do so as they have been of late. Since the rebuff, there has been a good deal of talk about Canada’s being able to take care of herself, and requiring no‘ favors. If so, there never was more need for her to demonstrate it, than now. The Canadian tariff has al- ways been a good deal more favorable to the Americans, than theirs to us, and since the Liberals came into power, our disadvantage has been in- creased. The time has arrived when the Canadian people will not tolerate any policy that cringes to the United States or give them concessions at the expense of our own interests. Mr. G. H. M. Baker’s paper before the Board of Trade, which we publish in another column, makes it pretty clear that lumber is a commodity on which the Americans have a tariff advantage, that is working disaster to our trade. While they maintain a duty of $2 per thousand against us, we admit there lumber free. The result is. that not only are we shut out of their market, but out of a large part of our own as well, for they sell their rough lumber in many parts of the Dominion, at figures that not only diminish the already slender profits of Canadian dealers, but so divide the trade, that our lumbermen have not sufficient market to enable them to sell at as low figures as they would, if they had sale for larger quantities. Last year they sent in fifty million feet, free of duty, while many of our mills were either closed up or filling their yards with stock, for which there Was no demand. There is no Cana- dian industry, in which more money has been lost in recent years than in lumbering. 60 inch Table Liner, superior finish, 35: kind, bargain price .................... 25¢ 36 inch Union Carpets in nice reversible sides, new designs, very special.. ........ 25¢ 3 papers of large size Pins for ......... 75 Hair Pins, assorted lengths, for ..... 4 Hole Pearl Buttons, per doz ......... 60 pc.

The fact that a million dollars worth of American ties came into Canada, duty free, last year, while our hemlock lies rotting in the woods, ought to give somebody a chance to display his statesmanship. We feel certain that an an import duty, equal to their im port duty against us, should be put on all American rough and dressed lumber, shingles, lath, ties and sash and door factory work. If the govern- ment put on this duty our local trade would be preserved to the mills in which our own citizens get their living and that is surely as good a policy, as going to the ends of the earth for a market, while other people control the business at our own doors. If we cannot secure our own market, we1 shall likely cut a sorry figure in so meâ€"3 body else’s, With a proper duty, it is probable that closed mills would be1 opened, and new ones built. At any- rate 50 million feet more would have, to be cut somewhere in Canada. There are many parts of the province of Ontario, situated as we are in Lind~ say. The clear No. I pine is done, but there is millions of dollars’ worth of rough material in the adjacent woods, that will be handled here if the local market is protected, but not else. In view of these facts, it isa plain duty to support the memorial of the Board of Trade to the government asking that duties be imposed equal to those maintained by the Americans. Since our politics ought to be dictated by our needs, and a good government is the one that does us good, we trust that, when such an evident advantage is involved, every \oter in this county will lose no opportunity of demand- imr the change. THE GOVERNMENT has announced that it does not think the result of the plebiscite warrants a prohibitory measure and hence none . will be brought in. It is not likely that the Opposition will take the contrary view- Prohibition has been wounded in the house of its friends. For various rea- sons, people who believe in prohibition 15 British Columbia any richer be- cause a sister province buys large quantities of rough lumber? Not at all. Last year 48 million feet of it came into that country from the United States, free of duty. This entire quantity could have been supplied by the wooded provinces of the Dominion, at as low prices as were paid for it, for it is stated positively by those who know, that if they had the undivided trade, Canadian lumbermen could sell at as low figures as the Americans get. bums .............................. .n- Men’s heavy Cotton Working Shirts, collar attached ....................... 256 Men’s Silk Ties .................. . . . .

Some of the Lindsay juveniles would give the apparatus a bad warp. If, though, it is at all accurate it. will be of great use, but will make a change in the present system of crowding graded classes for examinations. In all the present discussions about over- working school children, one point seems to have been omitted. It is that a, nagging, bad-tempered teacher is more wearing on a pupil than all his home-work. Teaching tends to cultiv- ate imperious and critical traits that are often the dismay of children, and if these are not restrained. the teacher’s tone of voice, the things he says, and the servility he exacts are apt to be distracting and humiliating to a pupil who is sensitive enough to learn any- thing. THE LIBERALS have done well in adopting nearly all the conservatives’ clothes, since they came into office,but there is one garment that they failed to appropriate. It was the fast Atlan- tic service, that had been arranged by their predecessors. That contract was cancelled and a cheaper one madeâ€" the famous and futile Peterson-Tate experiment. The result is that we are without the service at all, just when a heavy season’s business is at hand. To make it worse the cost of ships has taken a sharp advance and to put the vessels on now will. cost a great deal more than the original contract called for. SIR CHARLES TUPPER is a marvel of mental and physical vigor. Approaching four score years he stood on the floor of the house and delivered a {our-and-a half hours speech which for power and grasp of thought and forceful expression has rarely been equalled. It was a dram- atic moment when, after amasterly criticism of the government’s acts, the white-headed leader declared he would spend the last years of his life, in de- fence of the Senate, against the un- constitutional attack of the liberals. THE CHEESE BOARD probably made a mistake by rejecting the instructor proposed by the Dairyman’s Associa- tion. That organization has brought Canadian dairy products to their present excellence and put our stuff on the foreign markets. Its work has been worth millions to the farmers of Canada. We are still learners, and it would be to our interest to keep in the closest touch with the great central association. The Peterboro Board hesi~ tated also but has accepted the instructor by a vote of 18 to 2. It is to be hoped that this commuity which is reaping such practical benefit from the associaâ€" tion’s efforts will yet be inclined and find it possible to work, in union with SOME PEOPLE have complained that the creamery butter has not as much flavor as the dairy article Those who have seen the seperator cleaned can explain that. THE DOMINION house opened on the 16th, and the debate on the ad- dress is in progress. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Charles Tupper and Mr. Foster have spoken. did not say so at the polls, when the chance was given. It Is no use to complain now. All this talk we hear about being betrayed by the govern- ment is pure nonsense. The g0vern- ment had nothing to do with the matter but opening the polls, and. every voter had the fullest chance to record his wish. That wish was to be the governments guide, if he would not express it he‘surely cannot blame the government: if it does not take him for granted as a prohibitionist. There will never be another Domin- ion plebiscite. It is a contrivance that never should have been suggest- ed or submitted. It has no place under representative government. An election once in five years is voting enough, and ought to give the people a chance to send their views to Ottawa. Besides a plebiscite fails to rouse the electors because of its in- definiteness. It legislates nothing. It is the government’s duty to evolve ideas for the people’s good. If it thinks prohibition or anything else is what is best, it should make laws accordingly. If it believes a thingis not good it is untrue to the country when it submits a plebiscite. If in any case there is a serious doubt as to the people’s wish, regarding a meas- ure that the government things for the best, it may be permissible to takea popular expression, but not by means of a plebiscite. Let it adopt the initiative and referendum. Roughly speaking that method is similar to our municipal system of passing money by- laws. The government adopts the measure and refers it to the people for final sanction. If they give it a major- ity, it immediately has the force of law. It has none of that uncertainty and aimlessness that attach to a plebiscite. Moreover it does not savor of that weakness and irresolution, on the part of the government, which in this case, have given new strength to an old charge against the present premier. Mr. Laurier seems to have greater re- gard for the popular favor than for the popular good. Wâ€" _ THE WATCHMAN~WARDER: LINDSAY, ONT.
