Low Prices.

In our judgment it is an error to suppose
that low prices are conducive to the general
prosperity Of the country. We are aware
that some Of the republican journals in this
country, majority of them perhaps, insist
on this being the correct doctrine, aud con.
gratulate the people that the election of a
republican president will have the effect to
cheaper living. The position is doubtless
true as applicable to men who have fixed
salaries and especially so where incomes are
derived from money loaned; but for the
merchant and the day labOrer whose living
depends on the business done, times such as
we have had for the last six years are much
more favorable to their prosperity than those
for which many good republicans are pray.

A REPUBLICAN PAPER ADVOCATING

The Geneseo Republic has an editorial

TELEGRAPH TRIBUNE
LONDON, March 13-Midnight.-In the House of
Commons this evening motion was made that the
Government lay before the House the papers In the
Springbok case.
In reply TO an inquiry regarding the circumstances
OF the imprisonment Of Mr. w. johnson, the Orange
Secretary in the County Down, Ireland, Lord Mayo
said that the prisoner was detained in Jail because
he refused to express regret for his action in heading
an illegal procession.
The House then went into Committee OF the Whole,
and resumed the debate on the State of Ireland.
Dir. Chichester Fortiscue member for Loutb, look
the floor in support Of the motion of Mr. Mcguire He
thought satisfactory reform Ireland was possible
without disturbing the tenure of lands but argued
that Church reform needed the same frank dealing
as emancipation in 1921

part of the Government TO treat the religious secta in
Ireland on footing of equality.
Mr.. O,Donoghue member for Tralee said the dis
affection among the Irish people was widespread,
and reached all classes of society," parayzing trade
with the constant fear of its consequences The
Church and land questions were leading causes
Of discomfort, but the principal cause Of
all the refusal Of independence in legislation.
Ireland was now volceless and helpless. The hrst
remedies 10 be applied should be to deprive the Irish
Church Establishment of its endowments and grant
to tenants leases of not less duration than 81 years
Mr. Hamilton charged Mr.. O'Donoghue with being
an organizer Of mock funerals in honor of assassns
and said he was unfit to act as an adviser
Mr.. John Bright said no question approached this
in magnitude or gravity. The evil of absenteeism
and the injustice of the Church Establishment
were not the only faults. The tenants required
proprietary rights The scheme proposing that the
Government advance money for their relief was
impractcabe. Ownership in the soil could only make
a people steadily loyal The Government should ne
gotiate with the landholders and make the land the
peoples. The proposition made by the ministers for
the creation of a great Savings Bank was made

Sir Stafford Northcote followed with lengthy
speech in defense of the Government.
Without taking action the House adjourned.
