The ‘ ‘Westminster Gazette’ ’ says that there are many grounds for encouragement and consolation in the result of the Canadian elections. It does not consider that reciprocity conflicts with the Imperial connection, but would rather see Canada reject it than support reciprocity with the intention of weakening the Imperial tie. The “Pall Mall Gazette” says that Canada’s vengeance lias fallen with terrific weight on fatuous politicians who lent themselves to a policy of subdivision. “We can afford to thank Sir Wilfrid Laurier for his past work as an Imperialist, hut since his last desperate throw for office he has failed to star.” The Pall Mall Gazette further states that the Borden-Bourassa. alliance is purely an opportunist one, and Canadian protectionists are ready to sell anybody or anything in order to secure votes. Mr Joseph Chamberlain, in a message to the newspapers, congratulates Canadians on the repudiation of the reciprocity agreement, and adds: “The victory in favor of preference to England is most satisfactory.” “FOR OLD IMPERIALISM.” A GERMAN PRESS’ VIEW. .(Received Sept. 24, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Sept. 23. The “Times” states that victory is one for Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s opponents far more than a victory of a party. It is reasserting in Canada the established faith from which they and we, their kindred, mean never to depart. , The “Daily Telegraph” states that the electors declared for the old Imperialism and rejected the lure set here re them. (Received Sept. 24, 5.5 p.m.) BERLIN, Sept. 23. The German press regard the Canadian election as a victory for economic Imperialism.
