Canada will assert itself By claiming the
right to negotiate its own treaties with
the United States as we'll as with
other foreign countries. The abolition

Gated, also OF the vctOing power of the
Federal Government over provincial le%-
lSlative acts. A liberal measure of re-
ciprocity with the United States will be
demanded and the proposed federation of
the British Empire, as far as including
the Dominion of Canada, will be strongly
condemned. But the main plank in the
Young Mems Liberal platform for the
coming federal elections will be the in
dependence of Canada. The French
Liberal party in the province of Quebec,
supported by large section of
the Conservatives and of the Eli
disappearing population, have already
pronounced for independence. Az strong
National party, IavOrinG independence, is
sending delegates 10 Montreal to join
hands with the French Nationalist. In
Nova Scotia, the Prime Minister, Mr..
Fielding, who has just carried the prov
ince by majority of five to one, is strong
for independence and in New Brunswick
and Prince Edwards Island the leading
men advocate independence and full
measure of reciprocity with the great
American republic.

statements in bis irtus OF to,day. Here
Are,his complaints to Mr.. Powderly;
The action Of the tail end OF the Rich-
moad convention In altering the laws In
any form should be repudlated by every
local and District Assembly In the land.
The whole proceedings were contrary To
law, which provides 10 no alteration or
amendment to the constitution shall be
made without first submitting the pro-
posed alterations or amendments 10 the
local assemblies for their instruction and
approval, Every dollar that Powderly
draws over and above the 81, 500 fixed by
the law Ia illegally drawn, Every dollar
drawn by Charles II. Litchman, as Gem
eral Secretary, Is 80 much money stolen,
because taken from the treasury Illegally.
A future General Assembly may make
things warm for somebody.
Previous to the r Chmond session Pow
derly' 3 salary was $l,500. Atth Hamil-
ton session he refused to entertain sug-
gestlon to have 1t raised even dollar.
The salary OF the Secretary Treasurer was
also Sl5O0-the two aggregating 5000.
Litchman and Fred Turner fixed the thing
up go that they both could get snatch az

and the salary for each fxed at 5000.
