The resignation of Mr. Louut in Centre Toronto lias cieatcd n largf amount of passing wonder. It was almost impossible for tlio ordinary poliMcinn to uuderBtiind tliat such a move could be made from disioterest- ed motives only, and a jndgsbip was 'â- (lip smallest prize at wliicii lie was aiming. But not so. Mr. Lornit ex- plained Ills motive iu plaiu English when he said ho was not wealthy and vonld not atTord to be a politician. The indeniniity offered by parliament, thouf,'h so large, was insufiBcicnt to JniJuce iiim to iiegleot his bu»inc«8 for ilio business of the couutry, aud lliis was his sole motive fur resigniug. It is iut«reptiug to note that lliisistho first instauoe on record of a perfectly lioneet resignation of a scat in the (Canadian Parliament. All others that have gone before were for the putposo of crawling' into a softer b«rtli. Was it in all sincerity, or was its ns a hyocritical weapon used to obtaui power thai the Liberal paiy have for years pasi advocated free trade as the chief item in tht'ir political coufcBsion of fdiih ? 1 hia is the pertinent qius- lion now being askrd by thousands oi electors who have always cousidertd themsclvcE orthodox Liberals. The change was raado. Tiio Liberal lead- ers were given a chaiioo to fullil their pledges. Ilavo they done, or tven attenipttd to do it ? In Centre Toronto the Liberal cnndidato is an out and out protectionist. In this conueotion the Farmers' Sun, which is strong in rditoral la'unt, says : 'â-  Ithau long bcci) SDRpi'ctcd that the Libcralti hud tipped the wink to the luannfacturcrf . Mr. Geo. Bertram, u accoptii.g tie Libd'ul noniitiation for Centre loronlo, declared thai the luiiff Ehould be taken out o |.ohtics,aud that llio present tariff sliould Stand unchanged for 10 years bt least. From Mr. IScrtram's posi- tion in tlie party, it is ju.st to aiaiuDO' tl'.at ho has not made tliis declaration viiliout the approval of his superiors, 'ihc Liberal surrender to prote oliou is thvrc'foie, con<plfcte. The Idachiug of \ib years, and the lolemn pledges fjiron prior to the general election, are (iii'.iiictly rcliuquiilied. It isaaid that the ConscrTatives heiitatfl loop- pose M"'. Bertram, bccauso the pro- luclod interests are now in the Lib- eral camp. The farmers who fought fjr trade reform under the Liberal flag have beon betrayed," I he County Kates ami 1897 I »n""'d certainly knuw the inciHot the CHso. I would say at the (^urset (lint uU the reeves and deputy reovus wlio Bat in the council of 1890 could hiivu plainly explained the matter to the riitepnyurs of the municipalities if tliey hud taken the tniulde to do bo, hb thoy knew j)fcrfoctly well M the Doctm- bur st'S»iou of 18!)B that there was a de- ficit of ^900, mid in the face of thin tlie Council voted an additioual liability of a graiit 10 tlio volunteers of ttie 31st bat- tiilion of 8999, making a total of lt!5!)59, which deficit wa." left as a louHcy f'lr the present Council, and for which every memtier of the previous council was re sponsible. And to make the evidence of my statements indiHputalitc I will publish herewith a lutti-r fr 'in 8. .J Piirkor,EH(j , County Treasurer, which was hainlod to the Wiii'den and was read in open council during the Dfceiuher session rf 1890. I trust this Ntnteineut of facts will ennble to place the bluiue fur ioci easing the cniinty tate where it belougs and ii';t charce the present Council will putting the burdeu upon tjKm aij an act of their own.

Today w-e have in the l)iiukH and on hitiid $1105, and expect iu n few d.iys SH40 from the Ontario giiveru- nient on account of criminal justice ex- penditure for 3rd iiuai tor of 1890.
