[" taw COMMERCIAL AND SHIPPING GAZETTE \u2014 \" VOL.XXXIII.QUEBEC.FRIDAY.MARCH ZL 1879 No.12,164 18 The Hew TerllT and what thought aoout It.Tho New York Tiauâ »%ya the only In.telifgible foatore of the protectlonlet policy of Canada la its unfriendly aplilt towaid the Untied States.Mr.niley explain) that the general purpose Is to discriminate against Americans in favor of Qreat Britain.All the time, of coarse, friendly w'rds are employed, and Mr.Tilley declares the Qovernment believe in a reciprocity of tariffs.Now.measured by population, the Timet continu- s, the markets of this country are as nine or ten to one of Canada ; as applied to sgricoltnrri products reciprocity Is not worth talking about ; as applied to manufacturée the difference in the consuming capacity of the two count tea is so great that rccip'^cri freedom of trade would simply be a trifling benefit for us, and enormous benefit for The Boston «/««mal says:\u2014'The tariff bill g-oposed by the Dominion Ministry of the ouse of Commons has already been enacted by that body.The tariff cannot bo regarded M retaliatory, since the Increase of duties operates against all countries, including Great Britain.With few exceptions in the eziktlng tariff, the duty Is 17} per cent, ad valorem.t he bill proposed increases the tariff so that it will average ab^ut 25 pjr omt.on most manufactur- d articles Whether the increase is sufficient to ec< courage manufacturing enterprise at home remains to be seen.The conditions are not ao favorable for engaging in enterprises of that character as they were at the time when the United States adopted the protective policy.At that time mannfactnring w is monopolised by a few nations.Since that date manufacturing enterprise has apparently outgrown the demand for it* products.Another unfavorable condition may be fonnd in the fact that the people of Canada, always schooled In free trade theories, cannot be relied upon to sn?-taln the practical working of a tariff based upon the idea of protection Canada has few manufacturing enterprises to foster, and its largely agricul\u2019arat population, which secures BO corresponding benefit from the free trade standpoint, will not relish such an increase of prices on mansfactnrcd goods as the measure proposed will bring abou\\ for a number of yean at least.\" The Chicago Tribwu says Though the tariff applies equally to imports from all nation* io the selection of articles to be taxed and In fixing the rates, the purpose Is apparent, even if K were not avowed, to bear upon those articles most likely to be import-1 link of Grand Trunk Railway'would involve ed from the United States.The Canadian I a iargS outlay.Respccilng the recent loan market 1* \u2022* practically closed In these par- | England, he said the Finance Minister The Budget.MB.CARTWRIGHT\u2019S CRITICISMS.At the close of Mr.Tilley\u2019s financial statement on last Friday night, the ex-Finance Minister,.Mr.Cartwright, addressed the douse as follows:\u2014 Mr.Cartwright said bon.gentlemen would not to surprise 1 If he suggested that though we had the budget speech, we might yet have to get the budget Itself.In 1873 the statement which the boo.gentleman (Mr.Tilley) made was not a fall one, for the hoa.gentleman in saying that io that year he was complimented by the House, forgot to say that be was complimented under false pretences, as although he then brought down a budget in which he said there would be a surplus of $800,000, he bad to bring down supplementary estimates to the extent of about $3,000,000, which changed his surplus of $800,000 Into a deficit of $1,884,000.If the present speech was anything like the speech of 1873, then the statements be had made were not very likely to be borne ont by the results.In discussing the proposals of the Government, it was necessary to think what were the causes of oar present financial difficulty.These difficulties were bronght abcut by the manner In which the hon.gentleman, when he was in office before, complicated matters and allowed himself to be induced to assnme the Provincial debts, to take in Prince Edward Island on the terms proposed, and to largely increase the salaries.Thu led to an Increase of expenditure by two millions a year.If there had been no sush increase, then there would bave been no deficits ; and these increases were entered into by tho honorable gentleman at a time when the session was drawing to a close and when many members had lett the capital.He did not attribute much importance to the question of the balance ot trade, bat if there was any importance ia it be woatd call the attention of the House to this, that in 1873 when the honor-ab'e gentlemen opposite were in power tUe adverse ba\u2019aace was $38,000,000, while In 1879, alter five years oi Reform rale, it was only $13,658,000.He fetred that the estimates coold not be relied on until 4he supplementary estimates came down ; and as to some of the reductions, be was of opioiou that they were brought about by the malice of some honorable gentlemen opposite against Mr.Brydges.\u2022 He contended that the amonut saved by the fact that no grants were ma le for exhibitions and minor matters, accounted for a vast proportion of the saving claimed to bave been effected.The increase of the mounted police and the aciuisition of the tlculars to American goods as has the American market been closed by onr tariff to foreign goods.The action of the Canadian Government will have the effect of establishing a sort of reciprocal prohibition of trade, which is not really what that Government noc our own desire.\u2022\t\u2022\t\u2022\t\u2022\t\u2022 The only permanent, and indeed satisfactory arrangement that can ever be hop^-d for in the war of reciprocal trade with Canada is a commercial nnion, with one tariff for both countries, and the division of the duties collected under It proportionately to the population.Then the army of Custom Honses on both sides of the line from Fort Garry to Ijatne may be abolished, and the exchange of commodities between Canada and the United States be as free as between New York and Pennsylvania.Such a anion as that will b » moat beneficial to both countries ; will nnite them as against ail other coontrles ; give to each all; the advantages enjoyed by both ; will secure as much revenue for each as can be raised in any other mode, pot an end to smuggling, reduce the cost of the revenue service to both Gcrern'sents, and lay the JbundUioo for a strong and permanent friendship between both peoples and/ Governments.it would be a mutually advantageous union and consolidation of these two North American States commer-etally as against all rivals and competitors in all other lands.It the new Canadian tariff leads np to snch a anion, both c antries will have reason to rejoice in its enactment.In the meantime the people of Canada will hare to enbdÉI to a sacrifice.For the time there will be a liberal increase in the cost to conanmers ofail manofectored goods, whether imported or of home make, without aoy ad vauce In the prices of agricultural products The latter will continue to be soid at the world\u2019s prices, while \"protected\" goods will cost more.It will take just a) many more bushels of grain to purchase a given quantity of protected cloth as will be represented by the additional bounty given by the new tariff to the manufacturer of the clotb.It will, perhaps, take some time for the Canadian fermera to understand the operation of this arbitrary change of prlcea of one class of goods, bat they will discover in time to be prepared to make a new and satisfactory commercial union with their neighbors on this side of the line.\" The London Times considers the new Ca oadian Customs tariff as very reactionary and says tJ will eventually prove a severe additional strain on Canadian energies.The Montreal ffttasssesys that the Nation al Policy has created very little confidence here so far, and the only change noticeable is one of increased dullness in real business and increaaed dieensaion upon the tariff, which is anything hut satisfactory.A good deal of uncertainty is still felt with regard to the doty on wheat.If it has really been reduced to 10 cents per bushel the change renders it just equitable with that placed on floor, but the miller has no advantage.Business is very dull, and the feeling la extremely gloomy, now that the first feelings Induced by the novelty, and also of the ludicrously inequitable duties first proposed, bave passed.Dealers feel that they have sacrificed much with no advantage in return.The Montreal Star says \u201cBut as to Mr.Tilley's tariff, which, whatever sensation It may create at home, is sure to excite opposition in the United States, and at the same time stimulate a feeling of hopefulness among uux own people, there are a number of items with respect to which it must undergo modification.We have already mentioned a number of these, some ot which, in the estimation of those who are the best informed, are absolutely essential to hare any effect in the promotion of onr industries.There Is floor, lor Instance, upon which the duty was proportionately left than upon imported wheat This, however, we learn has been modified, though we are still of the opinion which we previously expressed, that there should be no duty on breads!offs.Then, as to coal, we conceived, and there are many who think like us, that to be of any benefit whatever the tax upon bituminous coal ought to be more than fifty cents a ton, while no doty a', all was advisable upon anthracite.However, Mr.TUIey has placed both claaeee of coal upon the same footing, possibly that the latter might be made to contribute to the revenue, since U would require a very heavy duty to induce consumers to substitute to a considerable extent bituminous for anthracite coal.\u2019* to confide, for a great many statements bad got cut that had been made to-night.The tariff as It was proposed to be arranged, was calculated to enconrage pauperism, socialism and downright legalised robbery.It wa) also designed to injure British interests and British trade, as was evinced by tbs satisfaction with which the opponents of Great Britain received the return to power of the bon.gentlemen opposite.So disloyal was the proposal, that when the illustrions lady who was with ns at present returned to England, she would tn obliged to tell her mother ibat the outcome of all the loyalty expressed ou her arrivai in the country was a policy in opposition to Great Britain.(Laughter.) Besides that, the policy would endanger onr constitution and the contlnnance of the Federal system, and while the Finance Minister, pernaps, had no desire to inflict snch an injury on onr country, there were some connected with him whose gnllt in this respect, merely for the sake of a few short years of power, was greater than the guilt for which they were hnrle 1 from power six years ago.The Ministers bad done wrong in pandering to a popular delusion ; but both Ministry and the people would suffer for it.(Opposition cheers.)

tariff jeoanges, be denied that it was the duty of tne Government to enable certain classes to tax the rest of the community for their private gains, and asserted that this embodied a principle to which a free people sbonld not submit.He condemned the interierenca of the Govern, ment with the trade of the country and the shotting oat of foreign competition, and recommended the Minister of Filuu!., if he was determined to take a leaf oat of the books of our ancestors, to interfere with all the minor affaire of life.Tbe change in the tariff woold stimulate smuggling and alter tbe distribution of wealth in tbis oouu try.It was very like, though not so good as, the tariff of the United States prior to the war, and it might be called the \"tariff of corners.\" It was constructed

would like to know whether the Minister of Finance ex pected mat sugar woold be refined here.Hr.Tilley\u2014Yes.Mr.Cartwright said that if sugar was refined here we would only get a revenue of $1,900,000 from it instead ot $2,900,000 as now.In other words, if we refined our sugar, or rather washed it\u2014because that was all (bat refining amonuted to\u2014we should pay a million dollars

which would not help Nova Beotia, one which would do great injury to Western Canada, and one which woold also be very much felt by the poor.In a like manner would tbe duty on woollen goods tall heavily on the poor ; but in this cmo it would tall more heavily 00 tbe poor tbau on the rich, m It was higher on the lower qnaiities of goods than on the better classes ot goods Another result of the

a Special Oorretpondent.) PARIS, (Fbancx).One of the most useful, If not the mnet briltlsnt of the « many inventions\u201d which tbe Ingenuity of mankind has contributed to tbe great show of tbe present year, Is, an-doabtodly, tbe «'Univerta'.Varnish\u201d (Enduit Universel), exhibited by Messrs.Bontl'.les A Oo.of B tdcaatre, in the notek rta of Bon-logse- 'ur-Mer.This varnish\u2014wb'.cb has already received the rffloial approbation or tbe Ministries of War and of Marine, In this country, and wblcb nas Just recsived a similar i-eilmony from tbs English Admira'-ty to Its superiority over ail otber prodneta of similar nature\u2014Is equally applicable to tbe nreaervatlon o( wood, Iron, steal, brae », copper, sine and tin ; to gl us, atone, plas'.er, paper, cardboard, straw, linen and ieatber.A thin coating of tbis anbs'anee renders tbe sarface to which it la applied absolutely impervlona to damp, to tbe action of water (sea or fresh,) to fire, and to the oorroelve action of tb« air.It is oensequ.ntlf la valu able for tbe preservation of railway sleepsrs, poets, keels of sbtps, lad-ie-e, scaffolding, vehicles, fl ora, roofs, walaacotlugs, fishing-nets, cordage, ropss, submarine cades, tents\u2014In fact to almost every object of 00 nmon nçe In all the rongber branches of the everyday work of tbe world.This varnlflb, while rendering the objects to which it Is applied.INSENSIBLE TO TflE ACTION O* AIR, WATER AND FIRE, leaves the flexibility cf ropes, ne'e, canvas and linen cnioupaired.A sheet of the Ihln-uoat paper waste J over with 1», will keep out tbe ra'.n as long as It is uot torn.Large, band-some buildings have be i n erected with no otber roof tbau paatebord coated with this varnish, and laid upon lath*, Instead of tiles or mine.These roois have a.ready stood the storms, rain and snow, of two or three win.ten without showing any sign of oelerloratlon, and without having allowed a particle of moisture to filter through.Being in ombustlble, n coating of ibis varnish on roofs, no matter of what material, effectually : reserves It from tbe danger of taking fire from tbe falling of sparks lu the neighborhood of a oatualiy of that nature.It la very easily applied, usually cold, bat sometimes warm, la laid on with a brush, and dries no rapidly toat tbe workman's hand rarely shows any force of contact with it.On small Objects of dry mater al 11 dries np instantly ; the ball of a ship, coated with this varnish (which preserves from marine vegetation and from barnacles) is thoroughly dry In twelve hoars.No Insect will approach an object coated with this varnish, which is perfectly inoffeasive to hnman beings; and no acid hM yet been foutd to corrode a BU'face eo prepared.Tbe varnish, In fact, entera Inlo the poise of the substance submit, ted to its actiop, and from which, when applied, it can never be separated, the varnish oeoomlng, to to say, an integral portion oi tbe object to which It bas been app ied.Very beanumi carved farnitnre bas been made to repretent ebony by being coated with this varnLb, which will never rob off, and which effectually preserves the wood f cm damp, irom Insects ard from fire.The sarface thus treated shows a flue, fall, black oo or, and may be made, oy rnboLng, to preseut a brilliant palish.Casks ot all kindt a whooped, Well eoraped and cleaned, covered with a thin coat of tbe varnish, and re-hooped, become In-, destructible, and casks contalniLg wine, beer, etc , are preserved, as no otber moaeof treatment b*s ever sneoeeded In doing.Old wood, rusty metals, at d so on, must be thoroughly scraped and cleaned before applying the varnish.When this has been properly done, the old and deteriorated substances thus treated take on a new lease of ueeluluess.Tbe \"Universal Varnish\u201d baa a special affinity for metallic powders, consequently the operatious of gild log, silvering aad brouslog are greatly tacllit-aied by the employment of ibis extraonil nary eobetanoe.It sntQoes to apply tbe var nltb, andM rapidly as possible, shower the metallic powder thereupon, smoothing and equalising the latter who the aid of a brush or badger\u2019s hair.At the office oi the company, 10 rue Joubort, in this city, may be seen, in a WINTER ARRANGEMENTS.Express passsnger trains run DAILY (except Sundays) m follows:\u2014 Leave Point Levi.8.00 A.M, « River dn Loop.2.00 P.M.Arrive Trois Pistoles (Dinner),».8.20 « *\u2022 Rlmonskl,.4.49 ?« Oam pbellton (Supper).».10 00 \" ttesee\u2022\u2022\u2022»#*###« Dalhouale Bathurst.Newcastle.Moncton.».»., St.John.Halifax.10.26 \u2022\u2022 .12.28 A.M .2.10 « .6.00 .\u2022< .9,15 *« .1.80 P.M.Pullman Oars on Express Trains.These Traîna connect at Point Levi with the Grand Trunk Traluu leaving Montreal nt t.46 o\u2019clock P.M.Pullman Oar leaving Point Levi on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, runs through to Halifax, aud on Monday, Wednesday and Friday to St.John.For information In regard to passenger fires, tickets, ratas of freight, train arrangements, Ac., apply to G.W.ROBINSON, Agent, 177, St.James Street, Montreal, O.J.BRYDGSS, General supt.ot Gov\u2019t R\u2019ys, Montreal, 18th Nov., 1878.November 20, 1873.DEIaA-WARE \u2014AND\u2014 Hudson Canal Co\u2019s THE DELAWARE A HUDSON CANAL Company\u2019s Railroads NOW RUN A DAY TRIP TO NEW Y0RKr Leaving Montreal at 7 A.M., and arriving at New York at 9 P.M, O.O.MoFALL, Gen\u2019l Agent, Montreal.inly 8,1878 O dominion Steamship WINTER ARRANGEMENTS CABIN OCEANJÂTE REDUCED.FORTH IQHTLY FROM PORTLAND.THE STEAMERS OF THIS LINE ARE appointed to sail from PORTLAND, for LIVERPOOL, as follows :\u2014 Q,u kb so.25th Jar.Dominion.8th Feb.Ortabio.»».22nd « Qobbbo.8lb\tMarch Dominion.22nd « Ontario.6th April Cabin\u2014Montreal to Liverpool, $50 and $60 Return, $90 and $110 No Steerage taken.Through Ticket* can be bad at all tbe prln-o\u2019.pal Grand Trunk Railway Offices lu Canada, and throdgh Bills of Lading are granted to and from all parts of Canada.For Freight or Passage, apply, In London, o Bowring, Jamelaon A Co, 17 East India Avenue ;

this place w is provided for him as a reward for past service, and in o der that he should have plenty of time (or p litical laterfereico in the foture.Mr.HOLTON asked wbat was the name of tho man who was discharged ?Mr.WHITE replied that the old man\u2019s name was Ricine ; then in order to provide him with a belter position and one in which be wou d be sble to devote more time to politic*, he was appointed to a place on ihe Lacbine Canal vice Mr.Clark, who was removed, h>s only offence being that be was a Conservative.Hu was sheared tbit there was no one io tbe city of Montreal acquainted with tho fa.is of the case who would deny that tbe principle laid down by ihe honorable g^ntiem-m oppzsite in this débité bai been violat'd by tbe dismissal of Regis Cardinal.This man exerted trims ilf and took an active part in the late elections, and be was foremost in organising that system of personation which had brought so much disgrace upon the city.Gontiieriog tho circumstances ot the case, he thought they might as well dismiss this man from tbeir attention as an object unworthy of tbe slightest commiseration or cucsideration at (heir bands.Mr.HOUOE advocated the establishment of a Commission, who should be sole power to make or dismiss civil servants.Mr.ROBERTSON (Shelburne) said it would appear that do Conservative had ever been assisted by pu rile officials lu elections, but tbe same grievance bad been brought up against Conservatives after tbe election of 1872, as was complaiued of against the late Government and tbeir supporteia.He knew that public officials had openly used tbeir influence against Mr.Jonra in tbe rate election at Halifax, and tbit prominent railway and inland revenu-) t fficer bad worked against Liberal oxodidates.He knew sever(to tbe victors belong tbe spoils \u201d He stated that wh-n tho honorable member for Centre Huron (Mr.Cartwright), and tbe honorable member tor Lambton (Mr.Mackenale) delivered addresses at Bt.John, some numbers of the Government service created so much disturbance that the last named gentleman was unable to finish his sp -ecb.He denied that any of tbe officials ip New Brunswick had been asked either by himself or bis colleagues to nse their in-tlueoBo in tbe elections, nor was he aware th*t any official had been dismissed for voting for tbe present.After some iurtber discussion the House rose ior recess Government.AFrBB BIOSSS.Mr.BURPEE resumed bis remark, referring to tbe dismissal of the Collector at New Glasgow, who was not dUmissed, bet who, finding that the duties interfered with bis other business, raigned bis position.He (Mr.Burpee) bad always told officials in bis department that It was unwise for them to meddle in politics in favor of ?.ny party either one way or tbe other.Mr.B1CHEY did not question the right of a Government official to exercise the Iran-cbise, but when they became members cf Election Committees, end spent their office boors in addressing meetings and denouncing one party or the other, be thought they ex-ceeded their privileges, and it was time for the Government to express tbeir disapproval of their servants mingling in public afiairs.Mr.BRECJkEN said in the county he represented tho officiai» in the oanal service distinguished themselves to tho electoral campaign hy working against him, though more by tbeir rowdyism than by their tnteili gence : it was high rime they wero taught a lesson.Mr.HACKETT Slid as a supporter of tbe Government, he thought tbe Government was adhering too stric.iy to the B Itisb system.He thought all i fi.ials guilty of io-compttdiicy iu soboidmatlon or poli ical partisanship should be dismissed.In Prince Edward Island, tbt-Lte Govcrnmen on entering into power mude a dean sweep of tbe officials there, and substituted men of tbeir own, known for tbeir violent and uoecrupnlcus opposlt.on to Conservative candidates.He trusted the Government would take thu matter up aud have a Commission appointed before which evidence would be taken and all those officials convicted of active partiaan-ship weeded oat of the Service.He çould quote instance* oi official ihterfsrence, especially a station-master who had been actively engaged last election in distributing political pamphlets.Mr.TROW saiJ in his couutiy Government officials atteeded to tbeir business aud did not interfere in tbe elections.He deprecated the idea of dismissing any official f ¦ mnch In the same lime.THE EQUITABLE offers to Canadians a Policy ncaffested by war between United Stales and.Canada or Great fir.taln, and very liberal as to its stber provisions.Examina the war cUu*6.THE EQUITABLE Divides all Us profits amongst Us PoHcy-hcldure.It has no pilviUged class, who TOQsnme from 10 to 25 per cent THE EQUITABLE shows co tinnally Increasing vigor, having Increased Its Asteta to 486,000,000, Dec, 31,-1878, and its surplus to over $6,200,000.Quebec Awncy : 56.St.ft*eter Street, Union Bank RniUlIng.JAS.F.BELX.EAU, March 4, 1879.BKMKKAL IK&UilASfjK AU KYI'.MORGAN & Co.Have just received an exten- rive assortment ot all the New Pates of Man Iwdsi WHICH WILL BE RETAILED BY THE YARD, OR- MADE IN SUITS.February 2i, 1879.mRr21-Lm FYFE & WRIGHT.Fabrique Street.March 19, 1879.FURS !

and 8t.Stephen\u2019s, or Hackington, to which be has just presented Bishop Oxunden, is tbe most valuable of the ten.\u2014/.onion Standard, 15lA March, 187 9.Comobrt 11 mi Mstbodist Chdroh Ibotubb Room \u2014There «as again quite a large attendance last night at the entertainment provided by tbe Ladies\u2019 Aid Society of the Methodist Cbnrcb.The lecture room was tastefully decorated with flags, Ao, Rev.LeBoy Hooker, pastor oi the Cburcn,.occupying the chair.Alter the opening chorus, a dialogue by Mrs.Dalkln and Miss Barker, was given with exquisite taste sod feeling.Miss Nor.ris gave a song, wnicb was so well rendered that it was enthusiastically applauded and loudly onojred, as was also Mr.Treffry\u2019s recitation.i\u2019be execution of a brilliant fantasia, founded upon a popular Scotch air, bv Miss Renfrew, was market* with that delicacy of toneb which indicated a thorough coucep-tion of the compoeer\u2019s idea on tbe part of tbe fair, young pianist.The next item, and a very pleasant one it proved, was the \u201cRed, White and Bine,\u201d sung as a chozus by a number of young children, Miss Hardman playing the accompaniment.After a short interim.-sion, a pianoforte duet was ably ren-diced by the Misses Henderson, the vocal s do which it introdneed, aflording Mr.J.B.McKee an opportunity of displaying his fine bass voice.Miss Maggie UarUman\u2019s song was very prettily given, and gained for this yonthinl performer very hearty applause.Tbe recitation by Mrs.Cox was probably the gem of the evening.Rarely indeed has it been our lot to listen to an amateur gifted with such powers of elocution.Her performance was of course loudly encored.An iestrumental quartette followed, by the Messrs.Boomer, Kubrlng aud Bignell.Miss Eva Jones .recited a poem with wonderful abiiity for so young a child.A song by Mr.John 8.McKee, \u201c Wnat Jack will say\u201d followed This pleasing Item was so well rendered, that an encore was enthusiastically demanded, and good natnredly given.Tbe accampanlmeata to Mr.McKee\u2019s songs were skllialiy played by Mrs.R.McLeod, to wbos?untiring efforts is so largely due tbe success oi these plesslng socials.Mr.Holt gave an amnslng reading entitled \u201cA night of Terror,\u201d and the evening\u2019s entertainment was brought to a close by the singing of a chorus written for ladies\u2019 voices, and the National Anthem.Phillips\u2019 palatable Ood Liver Oil with Pbos-pbo-Nutrltlue will be found entirely different to any and all of the Ood Liver Oil preparations.Its combination with Phospho-Nutii-tine (or phosphates as fonnd In wheat) rend, ere it limpid and easy of assimilation, obviât.Ingall seaso ofnanssaand unlike any other oil, is miscible with and can be taken In water.When we consider that Fellows\u2019 Compound Syrup of HypophAspbltss supplies tbe deficiency to nnbaalthy nlood, restores tbe nervous element, and produces healthy action to t he varions organs and forces of tha body necessary to sound mind, we wonder at the imbecility every «here apparent.« Frost Bites » are ngly thing# ;
