oA EY ue.\\ 2720 EM in.* - « THE HERALD MONDAY, REPT 17, 1800.THE SOHMER PARK MEETING.Preparations are being made by all the Liberal isations in the distriet to ensure for Sir Wilfrid Laurier when he arrives in Montreal on Thursday such a reception as no other public man in the Dominion could count upon receiving in any part of Canada.Judging by pest experience, the meeting at Sohmer Park on Thurçday will be of such dimensions as will farnish a striking testimony to the popularity of the Premier in the commer cial capital of the Dominion.It may be expected that, as nearly always happens when Sir Wilfrid is the leading speaker.Conservatives will be present in almost equal numbers with Liberals.This in itself, however, constitutes so excellent a testimony to the reasonableness and fair- mindedness.of the Premier, as well as to his attractiveness as a speaker, that Liberals anxious to hear their honored leader may welcome as many thousands of the other side as choose to attend, without in the least grudging them their places.- rt THE POLICY OF CONTRADICTIONS.Conservatives must sometimes stop to wonder whether Sir Charles Tupper is really in earnest in his talk about mutual trade preferences when they remark that it is held to be compatible with protection.They have before them the known fact that for fifty years Great Britain has adhered to the policy of free imports, a policy adopted, as Lord Salisbury has well said, \u201cafter a controversy unexampled in its length, in Mts earnestness, and in the decision with which the.ultimate issuc was arrived at.\u201d That controversy was forced upon the country by the fact, which could not any longer be obscured, that the agricultural resources of Great Britain were insufficient for the maintenance of its population, and could not be depended upon to maintain in comfort a larger population, such as has since appearcd.The question that had to be settled once for all was whether the manufacturing industries would be sacrificed for the sake of the | waning agricultural interest, or whether England's growing interests as a manufacturing nation should be given first consideration, and the agricultural interest be left to shift for itself.- All know how long this controversy raged, and all understand that there was a practical unanimity of opinion\u2019 by the time it ended.Britain was to be'a pation of manufacturers, and it was agreed that the welfare of the manufacturers, and therefore of Great Britain, depended upon the working classes being able to get abun- | dant food at the lowest price, and the manufacturers themselves being able to get their materials also at the lowest price.After thirty years of trial Mr.Gladstone conduct, there is nothing that can be re garded with approval by an independent and intelligent electorate.WHAT OF SIR ADOLPHE?No explanation has yet been given of Sir Adolphe Caron\u2019s relations to the party.While Sir Charles Tupper Was here, there seems to have occurred a definite breach between Sir Adolphe and the other Conservative leaders in this Province.Sir Adolphe insisted that steps be taken to prevent his being opposed by a local man for the nomination at Three Rivers.This assurance not being given, Sir Adolphe proclaimed his intention of being a candidate at Three Rivers in any circumstances, with the further observation that he would be elected against any gpposition.Sir Adolphe was present at a meeting'at Windsor Hall on Monday night; and it-was but reasonable to suppose that he would take his place with the other leaders from Quebec at the Monument National meeting on Tuesday night; but something scems to have happened in the next twenty-four hours.He was not there.Instead he remained at his hotel smoking his cigar.What makes this little dispute the more interesting is the fact that Sir Adolphe has the approval of La Presse.The support of this powerful organ \u2018of opinion has never been very strong for Sir Charles Tup- per, and, according to present appearances, Ekely to be driven to depend more and | more upon the English and French editions of the Montreal Star for his journalistic support, a condition which Liberals can regard without heartburnings.rt NOTE AND COMMENT.Chnada is well satisfied with Laurier, Mr.Talllon agalu attempted to resurrect the school question yesterday.And again it rained.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The comic opera troupe which formed a combination with -Sir Charles Tupper in Sydney, Cape Breton, was not mentioned in the Star's despatches.This is not fair.The latest theory ls that Sir Adolphe Caron broke \u2018from\u2019 the party because his exquisite taste could not tolerate Nuke Dalby\u2019s negro minstrel and comic opera combinations.Conservative papers are proving to thelr affirmed that the new system should never be departed from, as it would mean revolution, both economic and political.Later, Lord Salisbury said that \u2018to return to the old system would be to introduce a state of division among the classes of the country.which would differ very little from civil war.\u201d Sir Michaet Hicks-Beach, the : present Chancellor of the Exchequer, warn: ed the people that \u201cto resort to the nos trums of fair trade and protection would only obstruct the process of relief by restricting our intercourse with the markets of the world.\u201d Mr.Goschen, Mr.Chap- - lain, Lord Ripon, and other leaders of both parties have opposed every suggestion to deviate from the present system of free imports.Lord Roscbery, who has been looked upon as one of the leaders of the new imperialism, said, only three years ago, that \u201cof all the maddest things we .have heard in our days, the re-cractment of the corn laws is the maddest that we could possibly canceive;\u201d adding, \u201cFree Trade has preserved the Empire.\u201d Mr.Chamberlain himself has not been behind others in recognizing the danger to the : foreign trade of Great Britain involved in any proposal to tax food and raw materials, and in hinting that a preference might be accorded to colonial produots in the British market in return for the free entry of British goods to colonial markets Mr.Chamberlain went much farther than any other British\u2019 statesman has ventured to follow him.The president of the British Board of Trade, a position once held by Mr.Chamberlain himself, lately assured the delegates from the Chambers of Commerce of the Empire, that a preference of five per cent.on colonial grain \u201cwould be the last thing he would be prepared to advocate.\u201d Yet, in face of all this, we have S Charles Tupper deliberately assuring th people of Canada that he can get this pre\u201d ference, and not only that he can get it, but that it can be got without departing from that system of tariff protection far Canadian industries which Mr.Hugh John Macdonald is taken along to preach, which system necessarily d unavoidably nailer lyfe tariff duties on Brit manufactures.How Sir.Charles Tupper can reconcile the two positions is something no mind but his own is capable of understanding.It requires more faith in him than is commonly given to any man, and certainly more than he has done anything to warrant, to believe him sincere in his talk sbout the probability of obtaining a reai- procal arrangement with Britain without * departing from the principle of protection in the Canadian tariff.Those familiar with recent Canadian his tory will readily believe the whole scheme to have been concocted with the object of destroying the Fielding tariff, including the Canadian preference for British goods.Neither Sir Charles Tupper nor any of his friends would venture to attack this -Bri- tish preference openly, but if they could |.place Great Britain in the \u2018position of re fusing to grant a quid pro quo, they might have an excuse which would be satisfactory to themeelves and which could at least be debated before the country, for abolishing _ the British preference and returning to the old system of high duties on British goods, which was rapidly making an end of our import trade with Great Britain with: out improving the conditions of life in Canada.One hesitates to impute motives to bud.ness men who are apparently mot actively eagaged in politics.but it does look as though Bir Charles Tupper\u2019s political 4 they are not contributing 1bls year the pros.| mance heré probably had the advantage /siving up a safe seat in Kent 10 enter the Policy ts still doing business nt the old
