THURSDAY NEXT. ; 0_.'zv; CLI t0 ll1Ill.IO1J.CC Ill 0111` IELVUUII. Of the persoiml question dctween the two ` leaders most people hswe had enough. The statesman whom the nation has just by an overwhelming vote of condence placed at its head is daily denounced as a. trickster, a. liar, a perjurer, a. coward, a. man steeped in every kind of infamy,by the personal organ of his rival ; butthe voice of such an organ is not the voice of history. The pammonnt ability `of Sir John Macd0na.ld no one can deny ; and when we are in serious,diicuI- ties, this isno smell consideration. He is not a. coward, for he leads his party bold- ly, in the open eld ; and he is now,not de- livering prolix narmtives of his own achieve- ments in :1 past ge'.1era.tions,but granpling Vlg0I`01`lSly_\\ lt-ll the present difficulties of the country. In the erce struggle for power he has done things which, it is to be hoped, for the sake of his own reputation. and the honor of Cana.da,- he will never be led to do again. But he has done nothing so bqrl as the deliberate revival of the party strife for a. selsh obj ect,after Confederation A 'when all real cause for such division was at an and and the nation 1va,s,united and at peace. From that crime heve owed all the crimes which the remvakened spirit of party, on both sides, has committed since. Tn an Sir John Macdonuld i'astice.he has thecase. . - A . _ The Algoma. quibble may hold good in a _ ` court of _1a,w7.,-` .a;qu.ibbles- often do..

He is charged by his opponents in this election with desiring to go too far in that direction, and, A by introducing Legislative union", to extinguish our Provincial indepen- dence. ` He has himself threatened nothing ofthe kind. But if om-.Leca.l Governments" were made mitnicipal-instead of political, and their attention were ' conned to our local a.`a.irs,.not only should we save the expense of this burlesque of monurhy,and at the same time nd our local u.`e.irs `pro- bably better managed, but our Provincial independence,instead of being extinguished, .would be inirea.sed,beca.\1se we should be no longer swallowed up by the `political parties of the Dominion. ` - - ' ' T -4. l'\...I.-..`:.-. 4."-n nrn\:v\n`- Flu: 1|/rnnnnnl mats. _ - A ' T, If we set aside all party exaggerations. and makevdue `allowance for the enhanced cost of Provincaladminiatration, . the fact `still remains that the: Provincial expend- iture is increasing and requires control. ; * V n..n. um mu-Izima lav claim to aunerlor iture 18 lTlC!'0D3ulg uuu. l.'\:quu cn vuuuun.

Gritism is simply Calvinism in politics, with all the characteristics of the narrowest and most exclusive sect. Its reign,insteed of `being one of freedonnpolitically or men- tally, has been 9. despotism of libel, which is neither less degrading nor, to generous minds, less oppressive than a despotism of corruption or of force. Mr. Mackenzie calls this system righteous and benecent. But that only shows that he is a good Cal- vinist, and. like his political sect, regards injustice done by the elect to the reprobate as righteousness. Mr. Blake tried to break this-yoke,but failed. Sir John Mucdonald has broken it; and on social grounds, at all ' events, he deserves our gratitude. `T 1.m.v ndd_.:md nerhzms some Emzlish events, he deserves grantuue. `I may ,e.dd-'-a.nd perhaps " English workingmemliere wi1l_bea.r me witness- that, though I hope I have never been a. atterer of the artisan class, I have always been true to the cause ' of _la.bour,r and that when the rights of the working man were called in question. _ and * his character was _t_r'a.duc-ed, I have faced some storms of obloquy at his side. I naturally look at the question, therefore, from this. point of view also; and I cannot understand how the working man can nd it consistent with his interest to vote for a party which, so long as European capital is forthcoming for certain private enterprises, seem inclin- ed to leave Canadian industry to its fate ; - or how he can nd it consistent with his honor to vote for _a. leader who has attempt- ed to put in force cruel and humiliating labour laws here when justice and human- ity had repealed them in the Old World.

The views he enunciatcs must, we are sure, appeal strongly to all thoughtful and` unprej udicei persons at this crisis in Provincial affairs. `The up-. shot of the letter---as the journal in which it appears observes --is th-atvto_ up- hold the Reform Government in Ontario would look like condemning the National Policy Government at Ottawa, and that it is only fair that the new tariff. should have a chance toshow what it can do to remove the commercial depression and "revive industrial prosperity.

V The nation, after full discussion and by a decisive vote, has ordained that a great scal` experiment shall be - made, for the double purpose of lling up the decit left by the late Dominion Government and relieving Canadian industries,by a roadju - ment of the tarilf, from the special disadvan- tages and discouragements under which tlfcy have laboured. It has entrusted that experiment to the hands of the only men who wereable and willing to undertake it, their rivals having avowed themselves powerless with regard to one at least of the two objects, and, to use the expression of-_ one of them, more ies upon the wheel; The operation of the new policyhas hardly yet commenced. We are now feeling the pressure of the new taxes which in any case must have been imposed to meet the decit left by the xte Government; the effect of the readjustment of the tariff in fostering our native industries rernains yet . to be seen. I know that, men who are entirely free from political bais, andin a position to take the broadest view of the commercial interests of the country, look forward to the result with hope. Surely it is the dictate of common sense that we should support the Government of ._ our choice- till our experiment has been fairly tried.
