THE ISSUE OF THE DAY.

THE ISSUE OF THE DAY.
| 1t seems impossible that any one can
/ still think that anything but the finan-
cial question is the issue of the day.
And yet there are poor deluded people
who think that protection is to be the
issue of the campaign. If such persons
would but read the leading papers of
/ the country they would very soon have
their minds disabused of such ideas
! We have gone through our exchanges
| for one day to ascertain what, if any,
attention they are paying to the finan-
cial question, and we find that the
leading papers of the country are pay
ing a very great deal of attention to it.
Below we give the number of leaders
/ devoted to this question on the dates
named. 1t does not pretend to be
complete list of our exchanges but the
leading ones only.
