If the taxpayers did not provide an ample mileage allowance the acceptâ€" ance of passes might be excused if not justified. But while the people pay the fares there is no excuse for mem:â€" bers putting themselves officially unâ€" der an obligation to railway corperaâ€" tions.. It is by no means an admirable thing for members of the Legislature ’ to draw a mileage allowance and travel at the expense of the railway companâ€" ies. But the strongest objection to the pass arises from the obvious purâ€" pose of the companies in granting such favors. The Legislature is composed of mena of unquestionable «publicâ€"moralâ€" ity. No one suspectgy that a single member could be successfully approachâ€" ed by any corporation desiring to inâ€" fluenge his course on a specific vote, and the idea that the pass partakes of the nature of a corrupt payment must be dismissed. But the railway manaâ€" gers who distribute these favors among members whom they have never seen, thereby relinquishing fares which might be collected with absolute cerâ€" tainty, are uneither deluded by false hopes nor lacking in business instincts. They know human nature from a long contact with the commercial and politiâ€" cal institutions of the country, and they know that any man called upon to adjudicate between the people and a great corporation cannot fail to be inâ€" fluenced, though perhaps unconsciousâ€" (Toronto Glope, April 5th, 1805.) The position taken by‘ the Provincial Legislature on the subject of railway passes will be questioned by the elecâ€" tors. ‘The pass is in itself ‘a small affair, so small that the members canâ€" not afford to retain it now that it has been attacked, and the most they can hope to do is to prolong its existence a few years. The bistory of the pass and similar equivocal institutions proves that, while they may endure for years unnoticed, they can never long survive an attack, and it would have %een the The Miristry has proven its inability to punish boodlers, its lack of purpose in dealingwith the tariff and its inâ€"apaâ€" city to deal properly with the; Manitoâ€" ba school question. ‘The people should, therefore, be given an immediate opâ€" portunity of returning a new Parliaâ€" ment which will producefa Government that will prove capable of dealing with all these matters So urgent is th» necessity for this course that the Governorâ€"General would be justified in exercising his prerogaâ€" tive if need be in order to compel the Ministry to carry it out. It is time to end this uncertainty, time the country was given a stable Government and one possessing the confidence of the people. This can only be done in one wayâ€"by ordering & general election just as soon as the three partiesâ€"Conservative , Liberals and _ McCartbyitesâ€"have _ formally placed their views regardinog the Maniâ€" toba school and the tariff questions beâ€" fore the electorate by formal resolution in the House. There should be no legislation at the session to open on the 18th prox., merely a declaration , of views, and on the declarations made the electors ought to have the earliest possible opportunity otf passing judgâ€" ment in a general election. __And, to cap all, the Ministry has for months wavered between session and dissolution, interference and nonâ€"interâ€" ference, until the whole country is in a turmoil, a turmoil that will be enorâ€" mously increased by the resignation of two. Ministers and the threatened retirement of the Controller of Cusâ€" toms. Tt is daily. becoming more apparent that the present Ottawa Government is utterly incapable of giving strength aud consistency to the administration of public affairs. * â€" After the business interests of the country had been unsettled by a proâ€" mise of a sweeping measure of tariff reâ€" form all that this promise resulted in was a host of changes that caused disâ€" turbance, but lâ€"ft the burden of taxaâ€" tioun as great as before. $ Weakness and incapacity sare shown in every act. _ _ _ A pledge that corruptionists would be punished wherever found has been violated by the retention of Caron in the Cabinet, the release of McGreevy and Connelly from jail and a halting prosecution of Curran bridge robbers. THE MEMBERS‘ PASSES. (Toronto Mews, March 28th, 1895,) market in anotber vu*. The farmers who relish the presentstate of things can show their satisfaction‘ by voting for Tory candidates in the coming elecâ€" tions, Workingmenvbobelhvoinw cents a day for themselves and $4,500,â€" 000 for their bosses can do the same.â€"â€" Canadian manufactiurers of agriculâ€" tural implements do not need any proâ€" tection against foreighers. They have plenty of capital, plt:rty of skill, and labor which works forl something very close tosubsistence wages. The Wilâ€" son Bill abolished United States duties on implements, except on those coming from countries which jmpose duties on implements from the States. This imâ€" plies that that the ys could send implements . from | Canada _ inâ€" to the States, free duty, if they would consent to the &bolition of the Canadian duty on implements. They prefer to keep their Capadian preserve, while The increase of the tariff on impleâ€" ments from 17 1â€"2 per cent. to 35 per cent. accounts for the Masseys having $4,500,000 toâ€"day. They took it from the farmers by charging higher prices for implements than they would have been able to charge with the lower duty in force. They did not sbare their extra profits with their workmen. Onâ€" ly the other day we read in a Toronto .paper that some of the Massey employâ€" ers were only getti:fle 80 cents a day, and a farther cut in wages was proposâ€" ed, the injustice of which was so apâ€" parent that a fore resigned his posiâ€" tion rather than annbunce the cut to the men under him, who bhad not been receiving enough to feéed their families. Now some of the money filched from the Canadian farmer by fim agency of the N. P. is to go out of the country to employ labor in the United States. What a grand institution is the N. P. â€"for the Masseys. â€" Have you evet noticed kow vour pems to crave special assistance in the The offer of the Masseyâ€"Harris Comâ€" pany to remove its Brantford factory to Niagara Falls, N. Y., in consideraâ€" tion of the bonus of $25,000 (sufficient to pay the sost of removal) introduces & new phase of National Policy effects. Long before the N. P, was introduced, the Masseys were doing well as impleâ€" ment manufacturers at Newcastle. So also were the Harrises at Brantford. Bo were Frost & Wood, Sawyer, Patâ€" terson, Watson, Elliott and many other enterprising Canadians, located in various towns and villages. Then came the era of bigh protection, and the big fish began to swallow the litt‘e ones. Factory after factory was closed. The Masseys removed to Toronto and reachâ€" ed out after the factories in Brantford, Hamilton and Woodstock. Smaller concerns were driven to the wall, Now the Masseys write to Niagara Falls that their company is capitalized at $5,â€" 000,000,of which $4,500,000 is paid in, and they are ready (for a bonus) to put up a $200,000 shop in New York State, in which 400 men will be employed.. tage to railway companies, for the favors it secures arg in a measure neuâ€" tralized by the need of giving favors to others in positionk of influence. The Controller of Customs recently issued an order that no official sbhould apply for a pass except through the head of the department, arld, whether for the purpose of protecting railway companâ€" ies or centralizing patvronage, this shows that the pass system is growing into an abuse. But while it exists the companies will give their favors where they will produce the greatest returns. As & part of a system of rate discrimâ€" ination the granting of passes is a maniâ€" fest unfairness. From the standpoint of the public interest a strong case can be made out against the acceptance of passes of members, and the debate in the Legislature showed that the defendâ€" ers of the system had no pass. By a constitutional amendment New York State has made it illegal for officials or elected representatives to accept railâ€" way passes, amd, although the vote in the Legislature assembled only the fatal number 13 in condemnation, the abolition of the members‘ free passes is now only a question of time. make it a point to be specially generâ€" ous in the matter of passes to wembers and other people of influence; and exâ€" perience has taught; them that it is a profitable speculatian.
