Last week We had only time to refer to the humorous side of Mr. \Vallace’s adress, deliverd in the Gland Central Hal-lien the evening of the zrst June; but we cannot pass it over Without pointing out some of itsinconsistencfes, which were neith- or few no-r‘small. We will only refer to the most glaring of them. Mr \Vallace enters lengthin into a de- fence of the N. 13., and the general policy of the present Government. One of his proofs of the success of the N . P., was theincrcased revenue, which tell very flat.,as every intellig- ent consumer .knows who have toput their hands deeper into their pocket toincreasc this revenue. Mr. \Val- lace said rthe marrying trade in ex- porting and importing was much im- proved under the N. P. If so this is not “Canada for the Canadians,” either in creating a home market for home produce, or shutting out foreign manufactures. “"0 would ask Mr. \Yallace why wool is cheaper and woolen goods dearerthan before the N. P P \Vhy is tea dearer, notwith- standing the contrary statements of Mr. \Vallace. And so with other ar- ticles. He also stated that things geiierallyuvere cheaper on account ot increased competition. It the N. l‘., aimsat shutting foreign manu- factures thus givingCanadian manu- facturersa monopoly, has this a ten- dency to lower tliefiprices? Let the poor man and the consumer answer. Had Mr. \‘Vallace been addressings a manufacturing people he would have looked at things in a diflerent light. But like one of old, Mr. \Vallace’ in common with hisleader, has a peculiar faculty of becoming “all things to all men.” Mr. \Vallace, not only in an unfair but a dishonest manner, compared the expenditure of the present Gov- ernment with that of the McKenzie administration. He compared the expenditure of the fiscal year 1875-6 with 1878-9. 'And why did he select these two ? Because 75-6 was the highest of the McKenZie adminis- tration while 78-9 was the lowest of, the present Government- And then even at this, his .fi gures were dishon- est to the extent of about 175 000. But why did he not compare the last year of Mr. McKenzie’s administra tion, with last years expenditure. Simply because it is a stunner onMr. \Vallace’s own party, Here are‘the figures for the last year of the late administration and the three years of the present with the estimates for 81-2, which will show an increase of nearly $3,000,000, since the ac- cession ofthe present administration. 1877-8, $23,503,158; 78-9. $24,455. 381; 79-80,! $24,850.63zr 80-81. 9526, 000,000; and the estimals for 81-2, 15 $26,465,000. These figures tell their own tale. xie‘s offer, in order to place that offerat a disadvantage, by showing that theland offered was the most valuable along the line, stated that the lzmd as far west as Rainy River belonng to Ontario, and therefore the Dominion Government had nothingto do with it and dare not touch it. And yet, in the face of this Mr. \Vallace voted blindly with his party to slice a large portion of this off and give it to Manitoba. This is consistency witha vengeance. He also stated concerning the late =elections in Pictou and Colchester, thatflew Counties in the Dominion wei'eless effected by the tariflc than thoee .connties, which statements .areatxfiter variance with facts, as it ls-Mefi known that the coal and iron interests of those districts were large He tried to explain the ‘grinding in bond‘ question, and acknowledged the imperfection ofIhe system, but said it was beingr improved. He how- ever, made 21 greater muddle of it than ever, and i: ore fully impressed 0:1 the minds of his audience the fact that it is a huge fraud. He re- ferred at lunth t0 the Pacific Rail- way comract. He, of course laud- ed it in the skies, but was absolutely (hian about the better offer of Syn- 171131316" 1/; JUL Y 1, 1881 tlicate No. 2. This iniquitous sch- eme, by which the Dominion was robbed of several millions ofdoliars, received Mr; \Vallaces hearty ap- proval and support. It is a signif- icant I:;ct that he never uttered a word of defence in this particular. simply because his own conduct as well :13 that of the Government was indefensible. In comparing the present contract with Mr. McKen~ ma. WALLA CE’S ADDRESS. flittan A rumor was set afloat last week that Sir John McDonald was to be raised to the peerage and to be apâ€" pointed as Lorne’s succesor as Gov‘ ernor General of Canada. This has been contradicted. though really it never required any contradiction, as the thing, especially the latter point From what we know of Mr. Plum b‘s parlian'ientary career we think him quite capable of writing the article, he being a parti: in ot the most bitter description. The attack‘ extended over about {our columns and was considered vile and calnmnions by rei spectable men ofboth parties; but it * also had itshumorous side. The vic- ,‘ ious boy in our cartoon, who savagely assaults a monstrous guy of his own i‘ making, is a perfect parallel for tne'} mad partizan who disgraced journalâ€" ism bv this bit of impotent and un’ cleanly fury. ML Blake can Well afford to smile at it. Grip does not by any means pose asa Blakeite, but lieâ€"in common with the writer ofthe Mail’s articleâ€"knows Mr. Blake to he a man of sterling honor, clean hands and high ability. He may be fairly open to attack on the political side othis character, but the pen that would try to filch from him his good name deserves the contempt and scorn ofevery decent man. 1v considered in the construction-of" the tariff. At the close ofhis address ML \Vallace was asked a question by Mr. Legge, which completely floored him. The question was to this effect: If importations were less, and things generally cheaper. where does the increased revenue and large» surplus come from? The only an:- swer Mn \V’allace attempted give,- was, never mind where it comes from: we have got itand that is enoughmA/Ir~ W’nllace’s address throughout wa: one fabrication of inconsistencies, â€"-sufficient to furnish matter for cri- ticisms otan indefinite length, though we have no doubt he went to a vast amount of trouble to gather this speech and write it out carefully but it will require a good deal of; borling down to free it ot all its inâ€"H congruities. In fact we fear it would all evaporate. is too preposterous to bear any weight. In the first place, England will appoint a Canadian as Gover- nor General, only when she is pre- paired to say, “Canada we don’t want you any longer." In the sec- and place, in would be absurd, and an insult to a large: portion of the populace, to appoint to that position a man who has always been such a bitter partisn In politics and so un- scrupulous and immoral in charac- ter. ‘ The Ontario Goverment hasdecid- ed to issue licenses again inLambton on the strength ofjudgze Armor’s de- cision quashing the Scot Act in that County. \Ve adjudge the Govern- ment to be a little fast in this matter, as that decision will, in all probabil- ity, be appealed against. Twice the people of Lamhton have pronounced emphatically against the iniquitous traffic, and is it to be forced on them by such men as judge Armour? “7e trust the Ontario Government Will not be a party to this injustice. It is most assuredly the duty of the Government to interfere in this matter and assist in carrying out the Wishes oi the people, iii which ifit fails, it will be justly open to cen- sure, as it is manifestly the duty of a Government to assist in carrying out the wishes Of the people. A’New ARGUMENT has been given to the defenders of Christianity against atheism bv the death of M. Littre, one of France’s most celebrateb sav ant and free-thinkers, In his youth he became a convert to positiv1sm in its most destructive forms, and ass. contributor fo the Revue Positiviste, formulated veiws on religion and morals exetremely hostile to the gen- erally accepted creeds of Christen- dom. Just before his death three weeks ago, like Voltaireâ€"so the \Vith regard to Mt. Boultbee’s address the electors of York. know who and what Alfred Boultbee is too well to require a word of comment. His utterances are taken for what they are worth, viz, 100 per cent. discount. Although a fortnight has elapsed Since the Mail. so far forgot itself as to give publicity to that discredit- able tirade against the leader of the Opposition, the adverse criticims of the Canadian press are not yet all spoken,and it is not too late for Grip to touch the subject with his pencil. The article in question has been attributed to Mr. Plumb‘ and that gentleman has not, so far as we are aware, denied the soft impeachment. EDJTORIA L NOTES. ‘ RICHMOND BULK our.
