Hon. Mr. Mowat has expressed his intention of giving manhood suff- rage to Ontario. The bill will doubtless be framed with that as. tuteness and liberalicy that charac- terize all of Mr. Mowat's measures. It is likely that the only qualificat- ion made will be that of residence. Whether manhood suflragze is the It was well known that as soon as the Dominion Parliament was tairly opened, it was the intention of sev- eral members to bring before the House the present and growing evil ot combines. Accordingly no sur- pn'se was telt when Mr. Wallace, of West York, moved the following resolution :-â€""‘ That a select com- mittee be appointed to examine into the nature, extent and eflect of cer- tain combinations said to exist with reference to the purchase and sale in Canada of any foreign or Cana- dian products, with power to send ‘for persons, papers and records, and further with power to examine w't- nesses on oath." The committee is composed of ten Conservatives and six Reformers, We shall not spec- ulate on the probable results of this resolution. We content ourselves now With pointing out that to a very great extent the authors of these “certain combinations' are not only friends of the government, but are actually its makers. Given a limit- ed market and an N. P., the com- bines follow as a natural conse- quence. Sickly industries are torc- ed into existence by a restricted tar- iii; then ensues deadly competition. and then loom up loss and failure. Now it goes Without saying that the manufacturers are not going to be the victims. so long as they have a patient and capable substitute. Thus it is that in order to give man- ufacturers large profits lrom indust- ries that have no ground for being, Canada is rapidly becoming the most expensive country in the world to live in. \\'e await with curiosity the result of Mr. \V'allace's resolution. Every one knows that a short time ago Mr. Meredith's whole soul Was bent to the task of robbing his native provmce of all and every- thing that by hook or by crook could be taken irom it. Every one also kDOWS that this course Mr. Meredith pursued at the bidding of his master. Sir John Macdonald. whose pet ambition was, is, and will be to har- ass Mr. Mowat, even if Ontario should go to the dogs. But Mr. Mowat. backed by the common sense and confidence of the people of Ontario, brought the schemes oi both Macdonald and Meredith to naught. So far so good. Forget and forgive is the motto. But it is rather irritating to Liberals to find Mr. Meredith posing as the cham- pion of Ontario's interests as against Mr. Mowat. The mines and timber limits that Mr. Meredith did his best to give to political sharpers, friendly to Sir John, and of course to himself â€"~these mines and timber limits Mr. Meredith insists on now being at once developed and worked to their utmost capacity. So they will be worked, Mr. Meredith, but neither by you nor at your instigation. All in good time measures will be in- troduced by Ontario‘s friends to call forth the riches of our province- Better that those riches did not exist than that Mr. Meredith should have part or parcel in their management.

Manhood suffrage will remove allcause of demur exoept from those that think that perhaps other qualifications than having liv- ed for twenty-one years are needed in a voter. HARD TIME S best sort of lranchise for our or for any orher country is not now a question of much importance to Canada. What is of the greatest importance is that we should be freed from those highly complex and expensive schemes that perplex the voter and enrich the under- strapper. Mr. Mowat does well, therelore, to protest thus practically against that monstrous pzrversion of political ingenuity, the Dominion Franchise Act. That act was plan- ned to deprive Liberals of the lran- chise. It'the storm ot indignation which it raised kept the Revising Barrister somewhere near the bounds of decency, no thanks to his creator. quuite secondary inter- est yet of considerable moment to a people whose national debt is rapid- ” increasing while its trade is be- ing systematically crippled. is the item of expense. Under this head, the Dominion Franchise Act is a perfect leviathan in making the money spout. Never was an act equal in dishonesty and in Cost Of administration. 011 Richmond Street, Richmond Hm.
