ARGUMENT AGAINST QUAY.
MAltTIAI. SPIRIT OK CANADA.
iill.ert Parker' Kxplanatiou oT the Do
minion's I.oyut Action.
London, April . The Morning Post
publishes au interview with Gilbert
Parker on Canada's martial spirit In
reference to South Africa. Parker
argues that the recent display of
loyalty in Canada was not au "out
burst" as it is generally called, but the
' Inevitable result of Canada's growth
into a nation. Her
position has compelled her to
provide for the defense of her
own border, because iu tlie event of
war it would be impossible for Croat
Britain to help her, at least in the in
tkal stages, and the Canadians have al
ways anticipated a war, either for the
defense of their owu shores and bor
ders or for the defense of the empire.
"The development of the federation
which culminated in the election of Sir
"Wilfrid Laurior has been, therefore,
synchronous with military develop
ment, until Canada now possesses a
sound militia establishment of 3o,000.
Canadians are askhiir. if it has lipen
practicable to fuse English and French
Canadians under a French premier,
why it is not possible to amalgamate
the British and Dutch in South Africa
iu the same way, the I'.ritish and
Dutch temperaments being closer and
there being no religious bar.
"I feel sure that something more in
the direction of a federation of the em
pire will come out of the present situa
tion than the mere hoisting of the
union Jack at Pretoria. What direc
tion the union will take is a matter of
serious speculation, but - some such
eloper union, I believe. Is In the mind
of every Canadian and every Austra
lian. I have a feeling that three years
bene the minister of war, sitting in
Pall Mall, will be able to put his fin
ger on Toronto, Vancouver. Halifax,
Sydney. Melbourne, Brisbane and Ade
laide with as full knowledge of their
military possibilities as he is now able
to do with Newcastle or Manchester."

Demands Revision of the Tariff.
The platfrom begins with a demand
for a careful and thorogh revision of
tlie tariff and declares in favor of
such duties only as are necessary for
an economical administration of public
affairs. Democratic congressmen are
urged to secure the enactment of a law
making it obligatory upon the secre
tary of the treasury to place on the
free list every article of raw material
and maufactured product now used
and nianfactnred by any trust, mo
nopoly or combine. There is a strong
anti-trust plank. Home rule for the
Filipinos under the protection of the
United States is favored. It is de
manded that the army be withdrawn
from Cuba and that congress observe
the pledge made to that people.

Strangei and mysterious things are

connected with our lake shore bills

an Irving will grow up amongst us, and

present crisis the Democratic party
needs a leader of positive convictions.
The Democratic candidate must not
only stand firmly upon the Democratic
platform, but must be a platform in
himself. Mere personal popularity is
never sufficient to win, and especially
at a time when voters are studying as
now. The Democratic party Is strong
est when fightiugaggressively for prin
ciple, and weakest when supporting
mere popular heroes. Proud as Demo
crats may be that Dewey is among
those who desire the downfall of Im
