THE CANADIAN ELECTION.

The Dominion OF Canada has also
passed through the excitement OF an
election, with the result that the lib
eral administration OF Sir Wilfrld Lau-
rier has been sustained by large ma
jorlty. Canada, too has enjoyed a
period Of prosperity. and the people,
presumably. were satisfied with the OK
listing order Of things and We're willing
10 entrust the party in power with the
direction Of affairs for another five
years.
The chief contention In Canada. be-
tween the liberals and the tory party, Is
regarding the tariff. Sir Charles Tup-
per and his followers do not favor the
so-called preferential tariff; they ad-
vocate an imperial system Of protection
which it Is thought to be the aim Of
Chamberlain TO establish throughout
the empire. The election results may
therefore be OF Importance TO Great
Britain, as delaying the carrying out
Of any plan Ia that direction which
