The Election in Canada.

The quite general idea that a change
ion of Canada was impending has been
proved to have had good foundation.
The Liberals went into the previous
general election, that of 1891, hopeful
of success but met defeat. The Con-
sentative leader at that time, was
Sir John Macdonald, that consum-
mate master of political leadership,
to whose efforts more than to those of
any other man, or considerable num-

it is doubtful if now that they have

carry their theory into practice to the
fullest extent. The arguments upon
that question have resembled those
employed in this country in 1892 when
the voters were swept from their be-
lief in protectionism. Whether we
may look for a similar reaction in
Canada as has taken place in this
country is an open question; but II

=
issues or issue of this campaign APP
pears to exist. Some say the money
question will be the ISSUE others the
tariff; by this we presume they mean
will be the predominant issue. Both
issues are indissolubly connected in
the campaign and will remain so UNI
less the convention at Chicago achieves
the impossible by declaring for the
gold basis and for protective tariff in
contradistinction from a tariff for rev
enue only.
The currency issue may overshadow
the tariff in the minds of some people
but the latter will be- we believe. the
major consideration with the majority.
With all Republicans, howeyeT, the in
fiuenee of both will be inevitably felt,
though to allow the handful of free
silver men in the Republican, party,
and the vote at st. Louis convention
showed them to be in insignificant
be folly. 1t is noticeable that the bolt
of the few rabid free silvertes from
the convention is not meeting with the
favor in those Western states that was
expected by it's promoters. The people
of the mining states want protection
for their lead, and in all branches of
business the blight of Democratic
tariff fallacy is felt and appreciated.
In the state of Colorado the amount Of
capital invested in the sheep raising
industry in 1894 was nearly two and q
half millions; in Idaho. $1,753.9S1; in
Montana, 81. S91 1916; in Mexico, $685.
1863: in Utah, $3,000,o00 in Wyoming
S.. SOC, 2Si: in Arizona. 81 900, 900; in Cali
fornia, $7,O74 ,625; in Nevada, $1,164, 1852;
in Oregon, 81 49,. 403 indeed through
out the silver mining region the wool
industry is large and influential and
has suffered terribly from the Deeo
cratic free trade in that article and
has before it bright prospect in the
success of the Republican party.
The silver mine owners are fewer in
number and immensely wealthy and
are better in position than represen-
tatives of any other industry for affec-
tive organization. while the enormous
profits sure to accrue to them should
they secure free coinage on a fifty
cent basis are incentive to extraordin-
airy exertions in attempting to control
political action. The other interests
may not make such a show of strength
nor expend so much money in the
and will play an important part in the
campaign. Every voter, who believes
in a wise protective tariff, knows that
it can be obtained only through the
Republican party. There are many
such, indeed, we believe there are COM
paratively few among the laboring
people and the capitalists but favor a
Republican to a Democratic admins
tration Of the tariff. This view of the
campaign will affect free silver men as
we'll as others: it will bind to the Re
publican party very many who have
unsound ideas of the currency. They
cannot forget that under Republican
1ule there were good times, that under
the Democratic party there are bad
times. and they will long hesitate to
return the party of incompetency to
power The tariff question must be
fought out
