Laurier ste pod upon the shores of England on ‘I'iday lust, beau-lug with him the loyalty of the lauadian people without distinction of party. He will lay the tribute of our Canadian feulty at the foot of the throne as the proud repre- sentative not only of the great domi- nant political party in the Dominion, not only as the Premier of the greatest colony Lhat ever existed, with the area of an Empire and the population of a nation, not only 11s Chief of the French nationality in Canada loyal to the British Crown, but as the bend of a. progressive government and party which has signalized its advent to powcr by acting along the line of its professions in declaring that British commcrco may have the preference in our market; over that of all otlicr countries. Prmniucnt. he will stand among the great men of the Empire, on Jubin Day, as leader of the greatest party in Canada, whose governmenthas exhibited the fcalty of that party, not by more lip-loyalty and shallow pretence, which so cm- incntly distinguishes our opponents, but by works, in drawing closer thc ' bonds that unite Canada. to thc Mother Land, in its new comnu-rcinl policy. The declaration of the Conservative party, when last on the opposition benches, for protection principles was made with the ostensible desire of obtaining reciprocity with the Unitcd Statcs only â€"â€" virtually pi'cfci-cmiail trade with the republic to the south. But the true pin-post) of tin‘ then ivory lenders bccamc plain to the undcrâ€" standing VH‘)’ soon aft er thcir accession to power They kcpt up the })l'9ll‘llC(’, however. (luringncm'ly tho whole of tlicix- long form of uiiicc. lf tlu y at the outset udnptcil the theory of I'n'ofvction merely as a tcmpi-rnry cxpcdicnt in order to obtain freer-trade relations with the Unite-(l Mates, they soon hiossomcd out into protectionists of thc first quality and free trade with the Amci-itrau or any other nation, lm-czinu- a fugitin cmii-cly foreign to ihcir political faith. They were out for high pinicciion against the whole world, (in-u: iL-iiaiu included, and thcy maintained that stand until the collapse of their regime. The-i1“ attitude now towards the question of pi-cfcrentizil tariff is a. little pcculinraud, to say the least, incon- sistent with their past actions. The torylcadcrs are now endeavoring to bamboozle the country into the belief that thcy always were ready, nay anxious, to give preference to goods imported from England. But. the voice of the tory Siren has lost its old-time chct scductiveness. and can now no longer lure the electorate by its subtile (leccptions. Viewed in the light of past events the tory policy was rather to seek better trade relations with the United States than with the mother country, that is if a. relaxation of the tariff barriers was ever scriously con- templated which is extremely doubtful. The late tor-y government did make a preferential trade offer once, but to what country ? It was not to England We may at once he assured, but. to the United Status-i. That government placed upon the statute book what. is commonly known as the ‘standing offer-J a statute passed in 1879 and amended in 1883. The provisions of this statute offcrcd to admit certain classes of goods, which embraced a large schedule of the necessaries of life and produced in Canada, from the United States free of duty at such timc as the Americans would recipro- cate. Here was an offer of preferen- tial trade with our neighbor to the south which continued in existence for about sixtccn yours. England was not in it, for tory loyalty did not reach beyond \Vnshington. It stayed on this hemisphere and contented it-sclf with waving the flag. But at the time this statute was promulgated, and during its life, the identical classes of goods contained in the offer were admitted into England free of duty, and no attempt was made to extend the preference to the Mother landâ€"â€" still more fici-ccly tor-y hands waved the flag in patient liberal faces. Here was an opportunity for the flag-flaunt- ing party to prove the sincerity of its pretentious as being the embodiment of true loyalty in Canada. Like many of the other boastful professions of that party, time exploded the beautiâ€" ful bubble and revealed the nothing- ncss of fury wind. VVhere the difference lits between true loyalty and shamclcss pretence can easily be see-n. While: it has been the expressed policy of Conservatives to give tariff preference to the Americans, it ’has always, on the contrary, been the: desire of Liberals to prefer the mother country in such matters. That desire has now been exemplified, to the dis- l comfiturc of the party of pretence. We may rest assured that professions of loyalty coming from that party in the future will be regarded with a deal of suspicion. The assaults of Sir Charles Tupper- and his followers upon the preferential clauses have opean the eyes of English statesmen to the true status of the two political parties of the Dominion as regards their loyalty to the interests of the Empire, and there is no reason why our toI-y friends should longer persist in blind- ing their sight to the false. position they occupy and to which they have been brought by unscrupulous and selfish party leaders in their race for honors and employmcnts of office. They have run this race for personal aggrandizemcut at the expcusc of the. upbuildiug of the country and the honor of the Conscrvativc party. oarâ€"â€" \VANTED.

I York County Council. The June session of the York County Council concluded on Saturday.

A discussion took place regarding the appointment of a County Clerk in the place of Mr. George Eakin, who is too ill to perform the duties, and who is not. likely to improve. Many of the members bore testi mony to Mr. Eakin's faithful scrvicm to the county, but were of opinion that anewa pointment will have 10 be made, as flue business of the county must be properly attended to. The appointment was finally left over until the November session, the County C(mimissionei-s being empowâ€" ered to appoint a clerk temporarily. The Legislative Committee’s report was adopted, which provided for the reintroduction into the Legislature of the bills to give County Comicils power to accept transfers of land from inmates of industrial homes and to give all local municipalities the control of sales of lands for taxes. A committee was a pointed, consist.- iug of Messrs. Ramsllcn, Hall, Baird.
