Characteristics

The Taillon government works in a difficult economic conjuncture whose it a little too quickly puts the cause on the back of the old Mercier government. Its priority is the assistance with agriculture; it thus grants subsidies to the committees and the agricultural cooperatives like at the new school of milk industry of Saint-Hyacinthe. The negotiation of a French loan puts to him with back part of the anglophone elite of Quebec and involves the resignation of Hall, its provincial treasurer.

The Conservative party of Quebec, like that of federal, is weakened by the death of John A. Macdonald and by the school crisis of Manitoba. Taillon believes to come to him to assistance while passing on the federal scene in spring 1896 but cannot prevent the defeat at the polls of June 23rd and, consequently occasion, the victory of the liberal chief, Wilfrid Laurier.
