Daily Whig. ofl Three Cotumn Tariff, Ottawa despatches revision of 'the tariff, the purpose be- | ing to plunge at once into this sub- ject as soon as parliament assembles in November. As was intimated by Mr. Fielding, last winter, says the St. John Telegraph, a three-column tariff .| 1% proposed, with maximum, minimum and preferential rates, o- tariff which will have business features. and pa- triotic features, which will permit of and dealing with tariff, enemies, besides continuing and perhaps inéreasing the present fa: vors to Britain, "The form of the present British pre- ference will be shodified. In place of the flat preference on all British goods the rate may vary according nature of the article. Certain classes of British goods; -- evidently, will bu admitted at one rate, and others at higher or lower rates. In this way the goverhment, if it desires to do so, can direct considerable custom into British channels with certainty. For example ;an article which we can buy frome Britain, Germany and the United States might be made to come Very considerably cheaper from . Britain than from either of the othér coun: tries which would be opposed by our maximum rate! The Americans and the Germans, it is indicated, could se- oure our minimum rate if they ult the need of it enough to make them ower their present excessive schedules in our favor. But the preferential rate they could not secure. mm ------ Prohibition In Naine. Prokibition was the great issue be- fore the people of Mhine in the elec: tion held last week. The republicans had put themselves on record as the defenders of the present prohibition law; the democrats had insisted that the question of the repeal of that law should be submitted to the people. That was practically all there was to the state clection. The result of the balloting shows a heavy republican loss, the eancidate for governor being elected by a plurality of about 8,000, as against 26,800 two yeats ago, the year of a presidential election, and 227,490 four years ago. In gubernatorial elections Feoming midway between = presidential elections the republican plurality in Maine advanced from 8,872 in 1882 to 38,978 in 1894, and then dropped to M,760 in 1898 gnd advanced to 27,490 in 1902 These are the figures with which the returns of ghe election should be compared. The republican plurality in the state is than it has been century, Evidently the time is close at hand when the question of prohibition ver- sus high license will come squarely before the people. The democrats ap- pear to have the better of the argu- mont, remarks the Ottawa Free Pross. They say that prohibition does not prohibit, that liquor is sold and al- ways will be sold in Maine, and' that the sale goes on under the most de- moralizing conditions, it is a sneaky, underhand business 'which corrupts the morals of the people. They point to the enormous consumption of patent medicines containing a large percent- age of aleohol 'and to the alarming increase of the drug habit, and say that it would be altogether better for Maine to have a high-license and lo- cal option law which. would not only bring in a revenue to the state but | would lead to a degent regulation of the liquor traffic. This view is clearly gaining ground. , Ontario First. Many Ontario journals are givin to now lower in a quatter of a | singing the praises of the west, as. a field for settlement; and the dompard- tively easy conditions of becoming comfortably established as farmers, are a great temptation to the young men of Ontario, whe have not the will, il, indeed, they have the stamina, to undergo the hardships their fathers underwent, fi hewing a home out of the forest. The lure of the west has | been responsible for 'so 'much ulation' of parts of Ontario, thdt the problem of Yealing" with the situation thus created, has - become n serious one, sys the Peterboro Examiner.

One can-|s bor in the westera young young men forget for, a month or so, and that, on the whole, they will not do as well, nor enjoy 'as comfortable conditions, as if | they had remained on Ontario farms, at a lower, but more continuous, scale of wages.
