MODERATE PROTECTION WINS.
LONDON, December 8. The Canadian election results are now practically complete. They confirm the astonishing triumph obtained by the Liberals who with 122`scats have a clear working majority over the Conservatives with 51, the Progressives with 59 and the Labour Party with two.
The main difference in the policy of the three parties concerns the tariff question. The Conservatives, who are supported by the capitalistic interests espouse high protection. The Progressives, whose difficulty is to square the views of its supporters among the East Canadian industrial workers who fear American com petition with the divergent views of the West Canadian workers, favour free trade, while the Liberals steer a middle course in favour of moderate protection.
