Or. Foster. Daily edition. Freedom la Trade. Liberty in Bell la civil tuesday. Feb. 24, 1891. How or. Martin comes to be a candidate. Those liberals of Selkirk who have been Given to believe that or. Martin s candid a Ture is a generous sacrifice on she part of the Mani Toba government and its following in the House will be the bettor of in vips their minds disabused on that Point. There wan to sacrifice. Those members of the Legisla Ture who were present at the convention and Urc Rod Ilia acceptance of the nomination did not do to berm be of a belief that he was the Tope of the country or of a feeling that they were serving the interests of the Liberal party of Selkirk. The reason for or. Martin s change from the local to the Domin Ion Arena is within the knowledge of the free press and it will a Yeeu to be less patriotic than is claimed for it. Stated very briefly it was because the supporters of the government in the legislature were determined to ret rid of him and they thought they saw their Opportunity in the Dominion elections. It was to lint proposed to make a Trade with or. Watson. That gentlemen was approached with a proposition that he should five up Marquette for Selkirk and allow or. For 12 years i have been 011 the Liberal Side. The issues connected the Canadian Pacific railway and of that Between Revenue Tariff policy and Protection Are no longer before us. Since the last general election the Liberal party has formulated a policy of unrestricted reciprocity. On that platform i cannot stand. I regard unrestricted reciprocity As impracticable and have the courage of nay . P. St. John n. J3. What it Means Tho one Point the people of Canada should have Pat fairly and honestly before them is that unrestricted Cip Rocity with the United states or Continental free Means that flip american protective to Refl must be enforced in adj Stinst great Britain and the world. Soon to Knock. With unrestricted reciprocity Here is what the Buffalo n. Y. News says result should the liberals Triumph All doubts will be set at rest As to what is Canada s destiny. It will not be so very Many years before she will be knocking no the door of dear Uncle Sam. Unrestricted reciprocity Ianuly possible with a distinct understanding that the Tariff duties of Cho two countries shall be identical.1 what do free traders think of being under Protection if unrestricted reciprocity a carried Henr what e. Thomson for Merly editorial writer of the Globe an ardent free trader and Liberal but who is now opposing sir Richard Cartwright s fad queries if radicals and free traders Don t wish to to landed in a Region of perpetual Protection How will they vote on the 5th of March Erastus Wiman says this Tariff around the continent should be administered by a joint commission of which the majority i hould of course rest with the United states. Or. Friends claim that unrestricted Viluci probity does not mean a common Tariff Between the two countries. Hear what the Ohi Cago times says if the Dominion will take our Tariff jews As they Are and As Congress May choose to mod Ify them and As oar Treasury depart Guiont and courts May construe them Well and vote Lor Mac clonal and against ultimate annexation. Advt. Martin to run in his constituency. Those who made this offer were members of the legislature and supporters of the government who frankly admitted that if was impossible any longer to carry besmirched attorney general. He must to Fiot rid of and if Way were made for him in Marquette his ambition would indies him to accept a nomination and thus he would disappear out of local politics or. Watson listened to their overtures but refused to agree to them he wan not called upon by any Senna of Public or party duty to give up what he considered a eafe constituency to a Man so tainted that his supporters could no longer endure him and run the Ris k of defeat in a constituency in which he was not known. It then became to press or. Martin s candidature in Selkirk. When the nomination was offered to him in open convention he declined it. The convention wrangled on and at a late hour dispersed. But a committee was appointed consisting almost wholly of Tho members who were in the plot to get rid of him and Between two and three o Olock in the morning or. Martin was prevailed upon to forego his objections and accept the nomination. This Story will probably to contradicted. We would not put i t past those who Wero engaged in the plot to deny All knowledge of it should or. Martin ask them to do to fur use during the remainder of the Campaign. But Tho free press knows id to be True. It is quite certain that or. Martin would Nover Onva been to pressed to accept the nomination if it had riot been for the Strong do re of those members to get him out of the local government and out of the legislature. Tha 3tree press can and to this that there Are scores of liberals i Selkirk without know ing of this plot on the part of the who have up their minds to vote for him. For no other reason than to get him out of local politics. Or. Martin is boxed upon As an unscrupulous and dangerous Man who is wrecking every Hope of the Liberal party in the province by a conduct and character that Are alike iut Amous. It is Felt Attiat if Soni to Ottawa his Power for Ruis Chiei would be gone and his election is regarded As the easiest Way of ridding the local situation of a presence that has become not los f embarrassing thin disgraceful. For that reason As to Hava said so leu of liberals have made up their minds to vote for him. In this however they Are clearly wrong in principle. It in not always True that the end justifies Tho Means. If unfit to to in. The pub Lic life of Tho province or. Martin is also unfit to be in the Public life of the Dominion. He n so dishonest and altogether Aoun worthy that a vote for him cannot be justified on any ground. But aside from the ethical View of it do not those liberals see that to get rid of him it is not necessary to elect him to Ottawa before he the 2cth he must resign from the legislature. He h already out and by leaving him alone he will be left out. It in thought that after his defeat in Selkirk he May again offer for Portage la Prairie and that the nomination of Hia Law partner was made with that Pur pose in View. It is doubtful if he can again carry Portage la Prairie but oven should he do so he will not be Token Back into the Cabinet. Tho members of the legislature who plotted to Geh him out have bound themselves Moat solemnly to oppose his return even to the extent of voting want of con fid once in the government. As they arc sufficiently numerous with the opposition to defeat Tho government the province May rest pretty satisfied that it is done with or. Martin As a local minister. But to save themselves from the embarrassment of Hie reappearance As Penny postage. On the strength of a Cable dispatch from Ottawa to the effect that the postmaster general had Felt himself unable at present to recommend the Dominion executive to inti tute a. Penny postage rate for letters to the Mother country the Canadian Gazette Lon Don delivers a Sharp lecture in which or. Is taken to task for his slowness and timidity. By taking the Lead in this Reform the Gazette believes that Canada would have covered a self wit i glory and pecuniary pro tit and As Well have set an example in the most practice form of Imperial unity.1 the London journal is kind enough however to find an excuse for or. Haggart in Tho sup position that to did Nob wish to commit the discourtesy of anticipating the action of the British government to which should be left the Honor of taking the initiative in this movement. But it thinks that this tenderness for British susceptibilities is misplaced As Britain usually does what she regards Best for herself at the time that seems most convenient and Canada ought to have sense enough by this time to do the same. To Gazette proceeds to show wherein the mistake of putting off this Reform consists. It says Whit is the one dominant desire of can Adian life at the Posont moment v in it not above All other things to promote Commer Cial relations with the Mother country canadians believe that in British markets May be found gome recompense for the loss which the Aickin Loy to Milf in Likely to cause in United states markets and they Aie sparing no Effort to pub Abnir belief into pm Tice and yet it is at such a time that Canada deliberately elects to maintain a preference to correspond ence with the United Aad refuses to extend the Sime privilege to correspondence with Bhe Mother country. A Canadian merch ant May now communicate by pout with the United states merchant for three cents per ounce letter bub if he wished to communicate with Bhe British merchant he must pay five cents per half ounce or ten conts per ounce. Surely if Over any body of statesmen should feel called upon to remove such a hindrance to Canadian Intercourse v ibo Britain it a the present administration in the Force of this will be articular by Felt in Canada a the present time when the govern ment is appealing to the country on an Lasua which is to distinguish been con More intimate relations with Britain or with the United states. According the View of it taken by Tho Gazette a Penny postage rate with the Mother county in he essential feature of the government s policy. With the majority in Canada however there will not be much con Cern As to the motive so Long As to get the Jhing itself. A Penny postage rate would be regarded As a first class business stroke and that is reason enough Why our government should take Early action in the matter. The apprehension at the Yosr of Revenue in an Idle one. Expert Una in All countries shows that the increased volume of correspondence following on a decreased rate would soon make Good any loss. We have an example of this in the United states where the Revenue ions owing to Tho reduction from three to two cents on the Domestic rate was More than restored in u Short time by the increased business done. That would doubtless be the experience in this Case. An the Gazette remarks think How Many British settlers there in various sections of Canada who now write Home but once a month or once a Quarter who would gladly write each week were the present rate of 2jd. Reduced to id., and think what an in creased knowledge of Canada among the communications. Or. For South i Teglia. To the editor of the free press. The elections for the local Home in the Northwest Are now close at hand and Are becoming the subject of the attention of Iha electors i would respectfully Auk Liberty to trespass on your space with regard to the Assembly of the territories and the election of a member for South Rogina. The Assem Bly about expiring has certainly not been especially worthy of the Public endorse Tion for any legislation enacted by it nor does it seem to have accomplished a very great Deal towards furthering the interests of the territories. Its time appears chiefly to have been occupied in dissuasion among its members which seem to have Arisen merely out of a spirit of Contrariety. Important and Bene Lical measures have had to remain aside in order that the members might have full Opportunity of displaying themselves in debates which though they May have been upon questions of importance certainly could not justify protracted discussions while matters of More direct importance to the people have demanded attention. The electors should therefore exercise discretion in their Choice of representatives in the Assembly in order that this state of offa Iru May not be repeated in the next House. The electors should not wait for a cauda to to propose himself but should seek out a Man who knows what practical measures Are required by his Community a Man who will devote his time to improving the government of the land so of to be of the greatest Benefit to its people instead of using his office merely As an Opportunity for exercising his oratorical Powers upon questions which to his average constituent Are of lit lie or no importance.
