be counted as CLEVELAND State by those
Mugwumps who believe that the fondcst
hope of a PALMER Democrat is to vote for
the Claimant. Self-delusion is carried to an
extreme point by the Auswumps. but some
things are so evident that even Mug

CLEVELAND delegates spring up in tho
most unexpected places, and that taffied
resolutions are not so valuable to candi-
date as are delegates. A resolution. how

A Double-faced Government.

Two incidents which have recently oc-
Cured in the Dominion Parliament, bring
out in the strongest light the duplcty
characteristic of the Canadian Tories in
their dealings with this country. On tho
one hand. the Conservative majority tabled
n motion made by the Liberal leader. Mr.
WILFRID LAURIER. that the Ministers
should be censurcd for transmitting to
England report of the sham negotiations
for reciprocity Mt Washington before the
same had been laid before the Dominion
House OF Commons. On the other hand.
tho same majority passed resolution Of
fcring reciprocity to Great Britain. propos-
ing. that Is to say. to admit British manufac-
lures duty free. while re claiming the present
duties on imports from the United States.
provided England would impose duties on
American food products. willie admitting
free similar staples from the Dominion.
In the course OF the debate on tho first
mentioned motion, Premier ABBOTT and his
colleagues heard some unpleasant truths
from the spokesman Of tho Liberal party.
Sir RICHARD CARTWRIGHT told Sir JOHN
THOMPSON to his rnce that he and his asso-
ciatc Ministers had gone to Washington
with no other purpose but to influence Ca
madam by-clections. and without any ex-
pcctation or intention of concluding auy
trade arrangement with the United States.
They knew. he said, that unless they threw
open the CANADIAN market to American
manufactures. the United States would not
have the slightest inducemcnt to remove
the tariff barrier against the inflow OF the
products Of Canadian grain fields. forests,
mines. and fisheries. Yet. without meaning
to offer the semblance OF a Quid pro quo,
they had gulled the Canadian people into
thinking that the Washington authorities
could be persuaded to give something for
nothing. 1t was understood from the out
set. and pointed out betimes on this side Of
the border. that the visit OF the Canadian
Commissioners to our Federal capital was
simply an electioneering trick: but it is a
different thing for them TO be tainted with
deliberate deceit In their own Parliament.
The notion that the leaders OF either of
the great political parties In the United
Kingdom would think OF accepting the one
sided reciprocity proposed by Canada Is
prepOsterous, So long rs American food
products are admitted to the British mar
ket free of duty. the competition OF the
corresponding Canadian staples Of export
has tho effect of lowering the price which
the British operative. miner, artisan. and
unskilled laborcr must pay for grain and
meat. But the moment the American pro-
Queer is cut of from sending food TO Eng
land by virtually pr0hibitive duties. and
only such duties would answer the purpose
conceived at Ottawa. the Canadian farmer
would have virtual MONOPOLY Of
