“tn 1874, _ facture: CANADA REVOLUTION ‘Astonishing Victory of the Conservatives. MACKENZIE ROUTED, Sir John A. Macdonald the Future Premier. CABINET RESIGNATIONS. "Protection Against the United States !” the Election Cry, MISGUIDED POLITICIANS. [Bx TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Moxtreat, Sept. 18, 1878, Not only nas the result of tho elections taken the friends of the Mackenzie government entirely by sur- prise, but it has astonished beyond meosure its ®pponents, who, whatever may have beon Abeir expectations, certainly dia mot anticipate 80 extraordinary a revulson of public sentiment in “their favor. So overwhelming is the dofeat of the Mberal party found to be in alinost every province, us more complote returns are received, that nothing has ever been seen like it in Canada except the sweep- ing condemnation pronounced by the country against Sir John Macdonald and his Cabinet immediately atter the disclosures of the PaciOe scandal. In the present contest the issue has been free trade versus protection and a retalia- tory tarrif against the United States, It is nckaowl- edged by the beaten purty that the elections have “been carried on fairly though there is o® Tamer that Mr. Gault, the Conservative candidate in Montreal west, epent $30,000 im thedivision, and the money was employed lavishiy in some other constituencies, A fow candidates are also believed to have carried their elections through local influences, but these isolated cases cannot be held'to nave affected the gencral result to any great extent, WHY THE LIBERALS WERE BMATEY.

Toronto, Sept. 16, 1878, The culminating battle of the political campaign bas been looked forward to with interest by both of the olf political partios, and im view of the certain defeat of one of these it may not be uninteresting to pass in review the platform upon whien each has basbd its demand tor the confidence of the electorate The ts:ue now before the country differs absolutely from avy other divergence of opinion upou which the people have here- tofore been asked to pronounce. Hitherto such questions as the secutarizition of tbe clergy reserves, responsible government and other matters inci- dental to our political machinery, have been the boucs of contention ; but upon this occasion the parties bi taken u new departuro and made the issue one of fiscal poney, 1t is many years since the system of commercial restriction, now advocated by the con- servatives, rst made its appearance upon adian soll; but it 1s only within the Inst few months, it may be said, that it has been dignified by the title of a policy, For years it was the “ugly duckiing”’ of the brood of polittoal nostrums; it was encouraged by the Canada First perty, ni: Politically hybor- Dating, and was soceunted an unciean thing by the senior party. Now that once more the two old onemies are free to oppose each’ other this line of the protectton poliey bas tor the con- rvative mind nothing repulsive or venal. On tho contrary, in it 1s seen the rainbow of a never taitiog commercial prosperity in tho tuture. For what reason, then, bas this somersault been thrown? From neces- sity, For there remains not ono purely legisiative issue to pinee betore the clestors, The government machire ts porfoct in all its leading features. Thrown back upon their invention, the conservatives, recog- nizing in the molehill of a few manufacturers’ clamor the future of a possible mountain, set themselves to test tho feeling prevalent in the country upon the bard timos. BIR JON MACDOXALD’S POLICY. Sir Joho A, Macdonald then iramed his cele- brated natioval policy in the form of an amend- Ment to the motion to go into committee of sup- ply and placed it before the House of Commons. The attention paid by the press and the people to this locler Wes satisiactory and Party adopted protcc- Mon as tho leading plank 10 their piasform ; indeod, it may bo said they tonk tt as the piatiorm, soak, lock and berrel & Proisifelzus, lawsve could no} fiud anything committal in {| Jameus policy, butas tt is understood from a periectly indepen 4 staud- point, it 18 held to be a policy which will shield every provincial taterest by 4 sarift probibitery of impor- tation, That isto say, that in Ontario a protection will be thrown round the farmer, the Mmenafacturer the salt interest sam. cient to prevent the intrusion of stmilar American Products at rates profiiable to the foreign producer. Again, io Nova Scotia the trop, coal and sugar in- terests aro to be protected. The iden is tnat the elec~ tors will believ: at tho protection offorded in On- arto will enable ber to pay, and leave a margin, the tncreased prices demanded by Nova Ncotia aed vico Versa, So wii the other interprovincial trades. American and British competition 1s to be smothered and im the smothering procoss Canada 18 to artse with w strength in her loins. How thisis to be accom- plished is mot very clearly stated, but tho abiluy of tho party todoit, if only faith ve placed in them, Is asserted, The con mm forces iteelf on an un- biassed mind that if there be avy virtue in the pro- posed policy it must bo retaliatory and probibitory. Ana just here is where Sir Jobn will not declare bimselt closrly, On one eccasion he says that pro- hibition of imports will be granted, and where it suits better to promi: oly Imited protection he promises it, In ite present shape tho national policy is ‘all things to all mon,” but still it is not without cial poticy based upon 4 the United states. The application of y would of pecessity ve vadual, jor Canada is Ot prepared ior a commorcial revulution, Sir John, however, dues not allow bimeecli to let avy such Wea get abroad; but men of nis own party have deciared that they would not hi upon th wenger y Seventeen anda balf per centum tariff, which, eightage aad imeidental charges, he considers affords a tweuty-Ave per contum protection to industry. He hoids that it this be pot suifict develop native prige the native onterprise 18 misdirected, The country, he waintutos, did well an- ger « (lteen per centam tariff when the w prosperous, and wold have don tarif’ had not the pall of Canada in common with all cou: | Bot such non-progressive being? Rmith, What Is the reply? & ie his lips the Kearneyites, or beth pai bave there coats off and are pouring out sireums of talk that would make Kearney atrab‘lious. What do mea who can afford to rise superior to party considerations think of tbe leaders of the pat> Mes? By such men it is conceded that Sir John Mac- dovald is the nearest approarh to a statesman in euher ranks, Like Disraclt in features bis mental Characteristics are Somewhat similar, No matter in what corner ie finds bimselt he has maryollo terity im gettting out of it, He prising bis party by the brill ments, which, lowever, io Sull he has on mapy ) and would give them exp: motley foliowing of imme ors, Unlike Disraeli, be is essential world, hail tellow with every one be turbable in temper, charming in ada: Presence in which every one fecis at ease. His sociat Qualities are such that the most severe incline to pir- don his erratic conduct at times when no plays courtier to Bacchus. Onayoto on purely personal grounds Sir Joa would get tive supporters for nis op- ponent's one, Alexander Mackenzie, on tho other hand, is a man who has risen from the ranks by sheer force of churacter, He 1s a hard headed Scoichman, and as such cannot sbide to be trifled with or bear with polished graco the thoutand and one annoyances thrust upon a premier. He canuot retuse a favor aud 1 flatiered by the retu: He be, and 1s entirely incapable maby subierfuges by which his rival retained and sought to retain power. But then bis qualities as & Slatesmean a mediocre, He can ftoilow when tho way is shown, and that wun dogged per- severunoe, but he lacks in ability to devise moans to to meet an emergency. ‘Thriity and ceonomical, ne Saves tho pennies, but in doing #0 he losos the pounds that with more brilaancy ef resource he might no- quire. In aaversity be t6 a steady man to bave at the Wheel, und hw sieers the ship ou her course, but she inight reach tho haven of prosperity sooner were her course laid better to the wind. Yo summarizo briefly, Sir Joho ts the better states- mav, Mackenzie the better map. THE GRIT PAKTY.
