THE MODERATE PARTY.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —I must respectfully decline to be drawn into a straw-splitting discussion as to what constitutes a “party,” numerical strength, or policy. This, and Parliament’s action towards the Trade, may bo camouflage, but does not answer the question of your alleged neutrality. The only precedent I can find to excuse your failure to follow' my reasoning is in the old saying “ There is none so blind,” etc. Am I to take it that your slightly sarcastic congratulations, though superfluous, are in admission of defeat? Would it not 'lave been more courageous of you to have admitted you left an opening which vour opponent took full advantage of? Having, through your courtesy, for which I thank yon, fully ventilated this subject, might I suggest wo now leave it to the public to judge?— I am, etc., J.M, June 8. [ls courage the precise quality required to_ invent that which one has not experienced?—Ed.E.S.]
