Orator and statesman of the . first rauk though he is, Canada‘s Prime Minister lives close to the hearts of his people and in millions of homes throughout the broad Dominion his name is known, revered and respectâ€" ed. By the vast multitude . that thronged the route of the procession yesterday to see him and cheer hun as well as the great concourse . of nearly fifteen thousand people who went to Victoria Park to hear him .’ul. the day will long be rememberâ€" "ed, and generations hence when time has made its changes the story _ of the great gathcring on this memorâ€" able day will be handed down by the boys and girls who then attended, to their children aua grand children. Sir Wilfrid, aithough looking _ conâ€" siderably older than he did on the ocâ€" casion of his visit to Berlin twelve years ago, has lo&t none of his oldâ€" time charm, while his speaking . has, if anything, gained in that vigor and intengity which carry conviction to the hearer. Hon. Mr. Lemfieux, Postmasterâ€"Genâ€", eral, who spoke at Berlin Thursday in company with his chief, the Prime Minister, has the_proud distinction ol‘ being the head of a department that during his administration has shown the largest surplus in the history of .__the country, amounting to over one million dollarts last year. This is a proud record in view of the fact that revious to the accession of Sir Wil #id" Laurier to power in 1896, the y of the post office department been a story of deficits. The outstanding feature of the meetâ€" _ ing was the splendid tribute paid by the premier and his colleagues to the A great ability, high ideals and valuable public service of the former Deputy â€" Minister of Labor, W. L~â€"Mackenzic . King, who has resigned his position in order to enter the larger sphere bf politics as candidate for the House of Commons in North Waterloo., In this connection the very important announcement was made by Sit Wilâ€" frid Laurier that the work of _ the Department of Labor _ has assumed such proportions and ‘was . of . such great importance that he had decided to create a new Government _ portâ€" folioâ€"that of Laborâ€"leaving the apâ€" pointment of Mr. Mackenzie King as minister to beâ€"inferred. This is a signal horor to a young Canadian who has spent his life in the soluâ€" tion of the great problem of _ indusâ€" trial peace, and who has, we believe, by the broad and sympathetic policy he has pursued, accomplished more towards this end than any other Caâ€" nadian. ‘The appointment of a _ man pf Mr. King'§ type, who stands _ for the highest ideals both in private and public life, will be but another _ eviâ€" dence of the Primp Minister‘s ;g)l'icy of always utilizing the best brains and ability. that are available, wherâ€" The great Laurier ‘demonstration in eriin on Thursday | was a magnifâ€" evertlounti, in carrying on the great work of the government of this counâ€" try. . The speech of Mr. Mackenzie King, the Liberal candidate of the riding, was an eloquent and earnest plea for loftier ideals in public life and _ a higher and better citizenship. _ Than him the workingman can have no truâ€" er nor better friend, nor more able or earnest advocate on the floor of Patliament. That Mr. King‘s great worth is1 appreciated by the intelligent elecâ€" tors of North Waterloo the splendid: reception accorded him on Thursday afforded abundant evidence, and may be regarded as a precursor of _ vicâ€" tory on the 26th of October. * _ THE POSTMASTERâ€" m * The change may, wo sC_2CTC, 280 20 most wholly muM for by _ the, application of businesg methods . to, this great public utility, In the hea‘ of large annual deficits his predecesâ€" sor Sir William Mulock took the bold step of reducing the postage rates with a view to so popularizing . the service as to ultimately increase the revenue. The result was as anticipaâ€" ted and ‘the revonue of this great deâ€" ~|z'h- been steadily growing ever with the result that means have been available for large extonâ€" DEMONSTRATION her annum in 24 GENERAL and : . As Bir Wiltrid "fl' the quesâ€" tion turns upon the of tarifi comâ€" mission that is required. Isâ€" it to make the tarif, or to interpret . the tariff and produce uniformity in the decisions of appraisers and other ¢usâ€" toms officials? A commission of ~the latter kind might do useful work, But it must be an impartial court, which would have no bias in {ayor either of the importer or of theâ€"protected manâ€" ufacturer, a body to which anyone who complained of the working of any part of the tariff would appeal with absolute confidence. i by it is meant thatweareâ€"vo nave a permanent ‘commission such as they have in the United States, to .W the working of the tarift every . day, to follow its incidence and its> effect, sian â€"hut upon® and the consumerâ€" 1um-hr such . @. commission should not be appointed." Government‘s responsibility, | It says ‘The making of the tarif, as distinâ€" guished from its interpretation, ought not to be relegated to any tariff comâ€" mission. It must remain under the contror of the House of Commons, and of Ministers responsible to _ Parliaâ€" ment. For the amount of duty to be levied, the free list, specific duties as against ad valorem duties, are not matters of detail, to be decided by exâ€" perts,, but matters of principle and public policy to be decided by the Government, to be decided by Parliaâ€" ment, and above all, to be decided by the people, who pay the taxes, and by whose consent alone taxes ought to be levied. It would not be right to allow a commissgion even to make a report as to the advisability of levyâ€" ing taxes, for the making of a report by a body of experts is a long step in the directiqn of allowing the experts to make the law. After pointing out that the tariff cannot be regarded as an issue . in Canadian politics toâ€"day, and â€" that the growing strength of the vote in Western Canada has had the effect of moderating the protectionist policy of the Conservative leader, the Brantâ€" ford Expositor says:â€" ~ " After all, it is strange that almost all manufacturers, and notably the makers of agricultural implements, achieved their greatest prosperity unâ€" der a tarif for revenue only, O It is strange, that under this style of tariff our exports of manufactured goods to foreign countries have _ inâ€" creased enormously." â€" It is strange that a tariff for revâ€" enue only has given to the artisan more employment and higher wages than he ever had before. It is strange that if high protection is a panacea for all industrial ills that it has failed to protect the United States against industrial depresston, the like of which Canada has not known. It is strange that both the Demoâ€" cratic and Republican parties, in their presidential campaign, are secking to outvie each other in pledges of tariff reform. «1t is strange that Greagp Britain, free trader though she is, with the ‘‘balance of tradg"" always _ against her, manages to thrive without . the ‘"fair grade" policy whigh _ certain cnlonial wiseacres are seeking . everâ€" lastingly to thrust uppn her, In short, this whole tariff question is full of perplexities and Reeming conâ€" tradictions and everlastingly we find conditions throwing theories out of joint. It is just possible that Canada needs neither protection as it is in the Unitâ€" ed States nor free trade as It is in England, but a modification of the two suited to her own peculiar needs. This at least is what Mr. Fielding has been trying to give her, and he seems to have satisfied the great majority of the people that the path he has chosen is the path of wisdom. TARIFEF NOT AN ISSUE ‘The following tribute from the pen of Dr. Goldwin Smith, appears in the last issue of the Weekly Sun:â€" _ _ "THE ENTRANCE OF MR. W. L.

The wise Solomon editor of our evening contemporary, whether intenâ€" tionally or not, is again wrong in bis facts. Mr. Mackenzie King, who is proud to own Waterloo as _ his native county, has publicly announced his decision to make his future home among the scenes.and associations of the first eighteen years of his life. He is thus a home man, different from the average home man in this regardâ€"be has won honor and _ disâ€" tinction abroad. after . twelve years of _ pracâ€" tically nonâ€"representation in the parliament of Canada, the elecâ€" tors of the riding will welcome the opportunity to cast their ballots for brilliant young candidate of the Libâ€" erals of North Waterloo and _ thus secure not only an able and fearless champion of their rights on the floor of the House, but also representation in the cabinet of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. NMr. Borden has issued a challenge to the Liberal leaders to deny the grait charges preferred by Conservaâ€" tive speakers. This is amusing, yet thoroughly: characteristic, says the Sentinelâ€"Reâ€" view. It represents Mr. Borden‘s noâ€" tion of fair play. According to the British notion it is the duty of the man who makes the charges to prove them, or at least to produce the eviâ€" dence on which they are based. Under the British system an accused person is regarded as innocent until his guilt is established. â€"Mr. Borden would â€"rcâ€" verse the procedure. The trouble with Mr. Borden‘s notion is that if it came jo prevail it would make public life infolerable. NOT A NOTABLE As a majter of fact the Liberal leaders have denied every charge that has been seriously preferred. And they bave not rested satisfied with mere denial, they have gupported the denjal by proof wherever the charge was sufficiently specific to permit of guch treatment. They did this not because they were required as a matâ€" ter of strict justice to do so; but as a matter of fairness to the public. The Liberals have gone farther. ‘They have challenged their accusers again and again to make their charges~specific and bring on their proofs. W('Pnhave the assurance of the Premier hifmself that if any definite charge is preferred against a member of the cabinet, either the minister will go or the slanderers will apoloâ€" gize. It would be a very simple matter to put the Premier‘s assurance . to the test. _ Instead of issuing â€"chal lenges phrased in such terms . that nobody in particulr is challenged, let Mr. Borden, if he has any confidâ€" ence in the campaign he is conducting, prefer a definite charge against a minâ€" ister, something that can be investiâ€" gated, against somebody who _ can be held responsible. It is easy enough to throw . mud from behind a hedge. If the mudâ€" thrower is not particulat about soilâ€" ing his hands he may enjoy | himself in comparative safety. If he is not particular where the mud {alls, he may gratify â€" himself by _ annoying somebody. But, after all, it is not a vory notable pastime, nor is it a very suitable one for a man who is looking forward to becoming the Preâ€" mier of a great country.

The part played by William Lyon Mackenzie and by Robert Baldwin and ethers in winning responsible government for Canada ought never to be forgotten. But Liberalism cannot afford to rest upor the achiecvements of the past. Those achievements ought to be, not reasons for inaction, but sources of inspirationâ€"for earnest endeavor, for new deeds of courage and sacrifice in the neverâ€"ending battle for the rights of the people.
