"FOR AULD LANG SYNE"
A DM 1 RATION for 1li stand-pat rcpnWi.-aii press n
quires us to call on the past fur rceords of farts tlial
cannot lie disputed as the hest antidote for cnnipai&u i'od-
tler licnitf served lite puhlie.
Aot to 0 too fur hark, there is tlie investigation of the
armor plate furnished the navy hv the highly proteeted
steel industries during tlie Mckinley adininist ration. It
was ronelusivrlv proven that the armor sold I'nrle. Sam
was full of hlowholes, fissures and cracks which wen
plumed and filled and then delivered and placed on the
armed snips to protect the lives ol American sailors lrom
the shot and shell of possible enemies.
These opponents of President Wilson were willing to
send tlie navy or this country 111(0 battle with what the
young men who would risk their lives to defend the flag
were taught to believe was a shield and protection, but
which the makers knew would prove a sham and a certain
Jure to death and disaster.
it is aiso pleasant to recall oi jiow tlie public monevs
used to be turned over to the Standard Oil bank, the Na
tional City 'Dank of New York. Jn 1897, under Lyman J.
Gage, secretary of the treasury, the government kindly
icu an ns money now inroiign mat imnu at tlie rate or a
million dollars a day. When congress ordered an investi
gation it was revealed that President Hepburn of that
bank had written to the secretary. of the treasury of the
United (States of America, who was a leader in the grand
old party, in these words:
"If you will take the pains to look at our list of directors, you will sen
that we havo very great political claims, in view of what was done during
tho canvass last year."
The New York custom house deal is another sweet bit
of history. Tn 18')!) the government sold the old New York
custom house to the National City bank, better known as
the Standard Oil or Rockefeller bank, for the sum of
jvi,2(;,"),')0(), but instead of the money being paid and depos
ited in tne united btates treasury, according to law, tlie re
publican administration directed that the bank simply
credit the government on its books with $:j,'2lT),()()0. in
other words,' all the bank had to do under this friendly
agreement was make an entry on its books to the effect
that the bank owetl the government that amount, and left
it in the hands ol the bank to lend at 4 per cent, while the
government then rented the building from the bank.
I he balance ol .)(l,(M)(J was not entered on the hooks
and was not paid, so as to enable the bank to say that it did
not own the property, and thus escape paving local and
state taxes, because tlie property standing in the name of
the government is not taxable. The same secretary of the
treasury afterwards sought an appropriation from con
gress of 109,000 to pay the rent of the building.
.nut it is ol the great principle ol protection to Ameri-
ln lalior that Mr. Hughes and the (J. 0. P. press love to
warble. At Lawrence, Mass., princely stipends were re
ceived by the beneficiaries of the tariff. Testimony bo-
ore congress showed that the protected Lawrence mill
operatives were paid to 8 per week, ami whole families
were loi'ced to live on tins amount.
Certainly our manufacturers must have protection in
order to enable lliein to compete with "pawper" labor of

LIBERALS COMING BACK
MIK average citizen of the United States knows very
little about Canadian polities, and vet the subject is
one which should interest all of us very much, because of
our close proximity to the Dominion and the nianv per
sonal and business ties which bind the two countries to
gether.
Particularly should we watch Canadian polities now,
owing lo the practical certainty that the voters of Ciiimdn
will at their next general election overthrow the conserva-
ive government and return the liberals to power.
The provincial election just held in Brititsh Columbia
resulled in an overwhe minty liberal victm-v S. Cn.
licit isli Columbia is concerned, the conservative nartv was
practically wiped off the map. This election was unite gen
erally considered t ie ast bone ol' lu i'oiiki.i.vmHvo iv.eti-
For eighteen months or more things have been going
eadily against the conservatives. Kvcrv provincial and
every hi-electioii has rctristercd a liberal virlorv uimilsi.
in meaning to tlie recent election in lirilish Coliinil.i:. ;in,l
the provincial election in Manitoba about a year ago. The
liberal parly showed increased pluralities in (Quebec and
Montreal, and carried Ihe'dav in e ci-v ms.. wlwr.. .
ection was held to fill a vacancy.
Various reasons are given for these evidences of liberal

lil'o.
The Dominion general election will be held in the fall
f 1!U7. It would naturally have come this year, but was
ost poned twelve months because of war conditions. It
seems practically' certain, barring a complete revulsion of
eeling. that the liberals will return to power in C.-inad.i in
1!M7. This, in turn, will mean that Sir Wilfred l.:invi..i-
