“any local man was good enough to beat Sifton.” Of course this fooled nobody, the fact was too patent; that the. job was bigger than Tupper cared to tackle. and now absolute proof of the funk the Tories are in is to hand in the official announcement made by the leader, Sir Charles Tu ; )er himself. and heralded in scare hea hues in the Tory press that, no less a person than Hugh John Mucdnnald. the six months' Premier of Manitoba, is to tnr‘kle the juh. Hugh John is admittedly the stronger mun [0â€"day in the Tory ug- glv 1ration, he is to he the next. leader of t re party. for Sir Charles will dro out after the electorate have repeated the verdict of 1896 (and no posted pol» iticiun on either side honestly expects anything else). Hugh John has all the prestige of his recent success in 'the local elections to aid him, and he has not. been in power long enough to do any mischief or lose strength. Of course its a desperate chance, but gwrntviou, 11‘ (If t 9 party, out after the Untario: and the quality is annually improving as the growers gain ex- perience in the art of curing the leaf. A PURITY CANDIDATE. The Tories in South Ontario have ‘tmanimously chosen Mr. William Smith as their candidate for the Comâ€" mons in the approaching elections and it is generally understood that in the ‘im robable event of his election, and of is party’s return to power, he will be the next Minister of Agliculture. ’1‘his is the same Mr. “7illiam Smith who, upon his own admission under oath in the recent local election trial, paid out hundreds of dollars for the avowed purpose of buying votes. alâ€" though he had previouely upon oath denied the charge. So particularly outrageous and contemptible was his conductin the matter. that the pre- siding judge (Mr. Justice Ferguson) indignantly declared: “I look upon the evidence of Mr. Smith as being a brazen, distinct, strong denial. a. de- uial that I do not believe, I think Mr. Smith’s evidence cannot be too strong- ly condemned. As it bears on the question it is discredited by his ad- mission that he was guilty of this gi- gantic corruption." Subsequently the same judge added : “ I have some re- grets that this large ofi’ender, Mr. Smith, is not before us. I have noth- ing to say to him but that hisevidence is the most glaring piece of corruption 1 everheard.” It is with candidates such as these that the Tory ress are going into the election, using the country to believe that they desire purity of elections and the stamping out of political corruption. BIFTON HAS GOT THEM BADLY SCARED. A few Weeks ago it: leaked Gumthuti the Tory managers Were trying to in- duce Sir Hibbcrb Tuppez- to oppose Hon. ()lilford Siftou ll) Brandon, but ‘Sir Hibbm-L was not prepared to com- mit. political suicide, and give up a fairly safe seat) for the fun of being snowed under by the popular Minister of the Interior. It, was therefore an- nounced that there was no necessity to put up u stro “ any local man w been; Sifton.” 0f It was stated in the House and has been repeated in the Tory press that, the Government had put $1,000,000 ‘extrzt duty on the poor man’s tobacco, "Whereas the fuctis that the price of domestic tobacco has been reduced 50 per centâ€"that is to say a niuucan now buy a pound and a half of tobacco for the price he paid fora pound under Tory management. The increased tax is derived from foreign imported goods, and the excise duty has been jcut down on domestic tobacco to about the sumo. amount; or in other words the $1,000,000 has been taken of the goods that the poor mun buys, and put on the luxuries of the wealthy. Tory critics, regardless of the slur cast upon their own country, have de- clared that‘it is impossible to produue a. first-class Canadian tobacco which could compete with the foreign leaf, but the testimony of the leading to- tabbo experts of the continent is al. together to the contrary, and a first- class smoking and chewing tobacco. as well as an excellent‘fill-ing foreigars, is now being produced in Western _0ntario: and the quality is annually Among the various Canadian in- flustries which have materially benc- fitted by the improved condition of the past four years under Liberal ad- ministration, none have developed to a. greater extent than the cultivation of tobacco. In the fiscal year ending 'June, 1896, there were ten factories iising Canadian tobacco and twenty- seven using foreign tobacco. To-day there are twenty-five, Canadian and seventeen foreign. The cigar factories using Canadian tobacco in 1896 were two only ; to-day they are twelve; or in other woids twenty~five new factor- ies en aged in this one industry alone, have geen called into existence by the change of policy. The amount of Canadian tobacco produced in 1896 was only 474,205 lbs. ; in the yea r cod- ing 1898 it was 1,989,429 lbs. ; and last year it had increased to 2,575,955 lbs. ; that is to say, the production of Can- Kilian grown tobacco has increased in three years under the. Liberal policy 540 per cent. ; or in other words five and two-fifths pounds are now grown tor every pound previously produced. ‘ InleQlJé the percentage of Canadian ‘ ‘leaf was only 5.8 per cent. of the total amount used; this year it IS 45.2 per cent.
