RAILWAYS AND RAILWAYS, We suppose that the country is com- enitted to the piece of railway starting, a8 it is said, from \u201c no where, to reach \u201c\u20ac no place,\u201d serving a population of two or three thousand people, out of the ten or twelve thousands, which make up the whole number of whites in British Columbia.We say this because it would probably be too much to expect, from such human nature as we meet with in members of Parliament, to suppose it possible for them to be for once pa\" triotic enough to condemn an act of the Ministry, however palpably absurd.Sir Charles Tupper and Co.took Parliament by the throat a few days before the session began, and, notwithstanding the hatred felt by the Ministry for all things Yankee, signed a contract with Oaderdonk & Co.for this bit of ra\u2018lway on the Lower Fraser River.Why the N.P.should not apply to the Government as well as to the poor Paterfamilias» who spts a piano in order that his danghter may fit herself to earn her living by teaching music is what does not seem very clear, Sir \u2018Charles Tupper, however, will not pre- send that, stern patriot as he is, he was meved as the French say by the beaux yeux of the Onderdonks.Accustomed as he is, in his own experience, to all the wiles, strategies, and macceavres of | oraiory, we can suppose still less that \u201c\u2018 soft eawder \u201d was the engine by which the Messrs.Onderdonks \u201c\u2018fetched him.\u201d Yet here is the grand supporter of the rule of Canada for the Canadians who deliberately signs away some millions of public mouey to people of that nation, with whom, in our individual and personal transactions, we are told that it is a loss, a scandal, and a sin for us to have any dealings.If we compare the millions going directly to this firm of California contractors with any profits which can be supposed to be cut off from the exporters of American goods, who have been stopped on their road to Canada, we rather think the Yankees will, after all, have shown themselves a gr:at deal too clever for Sir Charles, unless his views of our international relations are wholly unlike those of the other Knight, Sir Leonard Tilley.This is, however, a digression.It is certainly a wonderful illustration of the N.P.in action, bat whether the contract had gone to Canadians or Americans, æ very large aum of money would have been expended on a railway of less importancs, measured by any criteria than à drain of a quarter of a mile iong iu any considerable city.Inthe meantime, nothing is done to promote à work which would at oncs add to the prosperity of every one of the three millions and-:-half of people who reside in the older Provinces, with the exception, possibly, if there be an exception, of Prince Edward Island, Every one will understand at once that we refer to the connection between tbe Canadian systems of railways and the Sault Ste.Marie.We are not disposed to blame Sir Charles Tupper for what he has done, with the means at his disposal, arising from previous votes fur the coustruction of the Georgian Bay branch.If he do wha.we understand he professes to intend to do, he will carry out Mr.Mackenzie's intentions, in spirit, if not in letter, and, making allowances for the stress upon \u2018party Governments to overturn the plana of their predecessors, we do not feel called on to discuss the difference in \u2018value between one plan and another, But when all is done, wbich can be accomplished with this money, there will still be a laige gap between the terminus and the Sault, which might be filled with the money destined to this useless road in British Columbiaa somewhat singularfact that all parts of the country, but especially the two great Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, have expressed themselves with almost perfect unanimity, on the importance of this connection with the Sault.There can be no doubt that, for the first time in our railway history, it will place that territory, which will soon be the wheat field of the world, in connection with all Qanadian ports on shorter lines oË travel than will be re= quired te reach American ports.Can any sane man doubt where oar money should be put, if itis to be put where \u201cit will do most good ?\u201d Are three millions or three millions and-a-hal£ of people in the old Provinces, not only to spend vast sums for the sake of the three gr four thousand people at present residing on the Lower Fraser, but to do this at the expense of the grandest improvement of their own railway connections, which has ever yet been proposed ?We fear that this is the case and, in default of any power to help it, we suppose that we must pul it down as another illustration of the truth of the great Dane\u2019s ejaculation\u2014\u201c Oh, my son, \u201c\u2018 you see with how little wisdom the \u201c world is governed.\u201d NESTLE'S FOOD It has been said in praise of the wonderful mechanism of an elephants trunk that, while it can pull down a house, it can pick up a needle.Tha N.P.appears to possess some of this comprehensiveness.Ia the lagt little supplement we perceive that Nestle\u2019s foud is to pay thirty par cent.of duty.That means, of course, an addition ef about one-third to the necessary price.We wonder whether the great Sir Leonard, ex-apothecary as he is, is aware of the true bearing of this imposition P Nestle\u2019s food is a Swiss preparation of goat's milk.It is not like the brandies and champagnes from which he cuts off his revenue with the utmost complacency, as if Le were by so doing augmenting temperance, when in truth he is only driving drinkers to mischievous adul- terations.It is the food of children, and moreover of children who, unhappy enoagh to be deprived of natural nurture, must procure a substitute or perish Itis known very extensively that Neutle\u2019s food is for many young children the only substitute fur the natural nourishment, which they can eafely take.Wo believe there are hundreds of families in this and every other large city, who are able to testify to this fact \u2014who can speak of the lives of children saved by the use of this preparation, when there seemed no probability of their being saved otherwise.Now, it may be thought that, on such a material as this, the addition of a third, is a matter of small consequence.In some families, that is quite true; but all writers on economical suhjects have noted the cruelty of protection.What is a trifle in one family, hardiy worthy of notice, 13 iz another a most distressing tax, when laid upon an article of indispensable necessity.The time of bringing up a sick child is usually cne of manifold, though, for the wealthy, small, expenses, following upon other wnusual charges incident to its entrance on the world.Now, ws balieve, that the cost of this food, when first introduced, came to something like thirty cents a day, when fully - administered, or two dollars and ten cents a week, for it must be borns in mind that withoat great care there can be no keeping of the food once prepared for use, and the least souring couverts it from a wholesome diet into a deleterious poiscn.It mus! be admitted that an outlay of this extent for an infant is in many families a serious tax, seeing that babies are by no means allotted only to the well-to-do.There was always, we suppose, some duty on the food, but the additien of a third to its natural and necessary price is certainly a barbarous stroke of policy.If children born in Canada are not to be considered of less value than those emigrants for whem we pay so much, it seems hard to understand upon what principle any duty should be imposed on this first necessity in many infant lives.Such a duty is like that on quinine, which a few years ago prevailed in the United States.Quinine, as we all know, is the great remedy for fever and ague which prevails over vast tracts of the Southern States.But what did it matter to the three or four millionaires in Philadelphis, who had bought out all the other makers, that settlers in the west had to expend all their means in medicine, because the tariff shut out quinine at the natural price of the world?The tax on Nestle\u2019s food is just of a piece with the tax on quinine, and unless goats become much more numerous in Canada, we hardly think that the proper article can be supplied here, It is THE SITUATION.When Mr, Tilley made what is comm nly called his Budget speech be made No special reference to the \u2018\u201c hum.\u201d In a quarter of a century no man in the position of Finance Minister, in this country, ever offered such a miserable exhibit as that made by the hero of the National Policy.He did not dare to advance a single word calculated to show that any improvement had taken place in the commerce of the country, though be might have ventured to refer to two or three monopolies which the tariff of 1879 created, and where are tke believers in this n:w policy which was to make eyery man rich by buying everything cheaper and selling everythirg dearer?There are not half-a-dozen members in the House of Commons today not interested in the few monopolies, coining money at the expense of the people, who would dare assert that Sir John A.Macdonald\u2019s Government had restored the country to a condition of sommercial prosperity.From the very day that Mr.Mackenzie relinquished office the trada of the entire Bominion bas gradually become worse, and though we do not charge the party now in power directly with all theills we have anffered since that date, they, at least, should be held\u2019 responsible for the outrageous their power to ameiiorate a distress which we believed no G>vernment could control.What we are suffering from now is à thousand times worse\u2018than at any period during tbe darkest days of the Mackenzie Administration, and even with the \u201cboom\u201d in the United States, which has saved us from being just so mueb worse, the general aitua- tion is mot to be compared with the years 1878 and 1877.In fact, many of our ablest and most active commercial men have been legislated¥ out ef business, and if there are a few who can aay honestly that they are doing a fair trade, it simply arises ont of the cireumstanse\u201c that they are not subjected to the competition which had to be faced years ago.But wby should not the remaining commercial houses in thg leading ports of the country do more business, since so many have been obliged to retire?This is a question which we would like t he member for Montreal-Weat to answer in the House.To indulge in the generalism that every concern, which he (Mr, Gault) had stock in, had prospered, was not certainly saying much, though, in fact, there were no ground for the statement easily proved, because there are many Joint Stock Companies, in which our representative is a shareholder, in anything but a flattering position, and which nzed not be named here; let it bz understood, we have no reference to tke Banking Institution of which the honourable gentleman is President, If unbiased readers will take the market value of Bank shares on the.18th September, 1878, and that of any date this year, they will, find that the capital has been written down about $9,000,000, and that the discounts, which may always be accepted as a fair indication of the movements of commerce, have fallen in the twelve months past about $20,000,000.If Mr.Tilley dare, in his place in Parliament, de:lare, with these facts before him, that his policy is keeping trade and restoring confidence, he is a bolder quack than we have hitherto taken him for.{Tne following statement, which we give respecting notes and bills discounted by the banks doing business ia the Provinces of Qntario and Quebec, speaks volumes against the ill-advised policy of the present Government ;\u2014 1878.1879.January.«.$106,511,432 $106,501,591 February.107,232 758 107.563,717

to assist the Coalition, at least a fair measure may be ac.copted as trne.When all the circumstances are known-one would have supposed that having sold the gentlemen with whom he was acting in the late Provincial Administration, and having received the requisite number of pieces of silver, Mr.Chauveau would bave abstained from operating in the interest of any political party.The latest effort, however, on the part of the \u201c patriot \u201d Chauvean, was to induce Mr- Parent, the recently elecied member for Rimouski, to meet the leader of the Govérnmentand Mr.Cimon,another bird of the Chauveau stripe, with, of course, the object of making à political pirate of one who has been elected to oppose the present Administration.Whether the ex.Provincial Secretary succeeds in conducting this new profession may be questioned, but no doubt can be entertained that Mr.Chauveau would be better employed as a detective than a Police Magistrate, Mr.Parent\u2019s reputation is too good to be influenced by political traitors, and no matter what course he may take in the politics of the Province of Quebec, something more important than dining with Ministers will influence his votes in the Legistive Assembly.SUGAR AND MONTREAL, When the Hon.Mr.Mackenzie, in his place in Parliament, exposed the effect of the change in the sugar duties, the whole story was not told, if the late Premier was correctly.reported.It is true that the imports at Montreal wera larger in quantity, because they were composed mostly of raw for refining purposes\u2014the entire Dominion being now served from the refineries here.Under the Mackenzie Administration the general grocery and wine merchants could deal in sugars as in any other commodity, and the tariff was s> framed that refiners and importers had a fair field, and the not least interested party, the consumer, was affirded any benefit arising out of legitimate competition.Now the general merchant dare not Venture to bring a cargo of refined from Greenock or elsewhere, or a choice parcel of raw, suitable for our trade.Therefore, while the figures quoted by Mr.Mackenzie represented an | apparently larger business in Montreal, about 100 merchants have been, by the policy of Sir Samuel, saved the trouble and anxiety of handling sugar.It would statements that were made in regard to | these big questions from a wrong stand- voint, to hear from Ontario and the Lower Provinces.We are mostanxious to feel the wave of prosperity, and can stand a good deal cf it, but wbile every \u2018 Province in the \u2018Dominion is suffering, and that suffering is intensified by bad legislation, thers can be no harm in exposing the fraud of September, 1878.ADJOURNMENT OF TRE Housm or Commons\u2014The House of Commons having been adjourned over

Labarian of the Parliament of Ontaric.treats oh à very important constitutional question, and treats it ably and exhaustively.\u2018The respective powers of the Dominion and Local Parliaments ; the similarities and dissimilarities betwe:n them ; the distinctive features of each, and the points wherein they differ from the Imperial Parliament, are all carefully discussed ; and the history cf the subject accurately traced.Whatever opinions the author may hold, he supports by liberal quotations from royal Dr:clamatioas, minules of Privy Councils, enactments of Parliaments, and decisions of Courts.If anyone bas the idea that a Local Legislature is little more than a big Muncipal Council, he will fiad his mistake by read- Ing this work.Mr Watson is a firm believer in the importance and dignity of Local Parliaments, and he shows how they are the real possessors of all rights and privileges pertaining to any Colonial Legislature under the British Government.The Provinces are not carved out of the Dominion, but the Dominion is made up of the union of the Provinces of their own free will.The doctrine of \u2018 State rights\u201d across the lines would, we are inclined to think, have found a strong advocate in Mr.Watson had he be- le:sged to the Republic.The clamour for a strong centralzed Government, some- says \u201c Itis only weak minds, and men cast in a servile mould, who cry out for strong Governments.The political or social sybarite, shrinking from the performance of the enobling duties of free citizenship, and afraid of its manly struggles, longs for the dishonourable ease and personal irresponsiblity cf a despotism.Such a despotism can be found in a Federal Government as well as in the rule of an autocrat.Under whatever form or name it may be exercised, the power which is unquestioted and unchallenged is but anothér name for tyranny.\u201d\u2019\u2014London Advertiser, Feb.20, 1880.OTTAWA CORRESPOADENGE TEACHING THE INDIANS

following are additional speeches delivered on the occasion of the motion to adjourn out of respect to Mr.Holton :\u2014 Hon.Mr.LanGevim\u2014Sir, I cannot allow this occasion to pass without raising my voice, in the language which the lamented member for Chateauguay spoke so Well, to give expression to the deep regret and sorrow which are felt by the French Canadians of Quebec at the death of our regretted confrere.Mr.Holton was for ever a quarter of a century a member of Parliament, and during that period I hal the satisfaction of occupying a seat in Parliament with him.Throughout his political career, though at times party strife prevailed to an intense degree, the hon.member never treated questions in euch a manner as to be unable to meet his adversaries the next moment and give them a cordial grasp of the hand.Not only is his death a great loss to the House and to his party, bus it is also a considerable loss to the Province of Quebec.Altheugh the hon.gentleman did not belong to our \u201cpolitical party, we, the French-Canadian Conservatives, claimed him in & great measure as one of ourselves, as a man who did honour to the Province of Quebec.For my part! cannot but concur in all that the hon.deader of the Government has so well expressed, We feelnot oniy great pain in for Chateauguay, but also that while the blow was a terrible one, both in its suddenness and Lhe great void it has created, it ought to be a warning to those among us who have passed 50 years of age, that our turn will soon come, and it will be well for us if we merit the general testimony.of esteem and regard which encircles the memory of our regretted friend, , Mr.BECHARD said he could not allow the motion to pass before paying personally a last tribute to the memory of the most distinguished man of the Dominion.Strongly attached to his political principles, the regretted member for Chateauguay was zealous in their exposition and in endeavouring to secure their acceptano®; yet, although indefatigable in the interests of his party, his course was never marked by acerbity, but his urbanity, winning frankness and whole.souled- ness endeared him to his adversaries, while they caused him to be fairly loved by his friends.After twenty-six years of a public career, be had not a single enemy.The country had lost a distinguished patriot, and oue who, as an authority on the rules of our Constitution, and as a member ever ready and able by his interposition to prevent unnecessary debating, and soften the aeperity of heated argument, was unequalled in both branches of the Legislature.Mr.PLums\u2014I feel that every private member of this House has sustained a great loss, a calamity which is sufficient excuse for one to join in the expression of mourning and eulogium™ upon him who has departed.It seems to me but à few hours ago since the gentleman'to whose death we are now referring was in possession of his full vigour and attending to his parliamentary duties, in which he displayed a strictness and an exceptional fidelity which are an example to every hon.member ; it is but a fow hours ago since I sat with him upon the Committee of Banking and Commerce, where he brought as he always did the resources of a wellstraived mind and a judgment which was eminently Conservative.I had a very long conversation with him just previous to the meeting of the Committee, in which he referred to Sir Geo.Cartier and to some of the passages of their public life together.I saw him in the full possession of his health and no one could have told at that moment that he would not long remain an honour to this House \u2018and to the country, and one of the most useful :nembers who ever sat on any public deliberative body in Canada.When he parted with bis friends op Saturday night, no epe knew that the impending shadew was upon him, and that in an hour or two he would go over to that great majority to which we are all sooner or later to be joined, I have lost in him a kind apd generous friend, one with whom I have enjoyed most intimate social relations ever singe I have occupied a seat in Parliament, one from whom I have received kindly advice, great information and instruction, and in whose society I always found enjoyment and pleasure.He had on account of his extensive reading à wide knowledge of literature, particularly of that period which je most interesting to us who are forming our constitution\u2014l mean the period during which took place the struggle for parliamentary government during the reign of Charles I, culminating in the great events which brought about eventually parliamentary liberty.In that respect hehad a special knowledge, in that he had, by the great ability with which he grasped public subjects, been able to form opinions Wbich were always vyaluable, and which will constantly be quoted in this House and elsewhere, He had also a knowledge of parliamentary practice, his tory and preeedent, and he had a mind which, by means of his retentive memory, was capable of subordinating principles to circumstances, and forming, through his clear, impartial judgment, an eminently just conclusion.I met him late in his parliamentary life, and whatever may have been hjs previous habits, he had sunk very much the controyersial feeling in the judicig) feeling.What he did here was eminently ip that direction.We on wie aide of the House feel what we have lost in him\u2014one who can scarcely be replaced, from the large, broad and accomplished manger ip which he has dealt with the subjects conetantly coming pp.We know that in certain lines of legislation there was not a man to whem we could more safely appeal, and we feel that in every way Canada has sustained a Joss which is irreparable.To his friends on the opposite side of this Houce I may say this ie à time when we all can meet together in common sympathy.We fully appreciate the feeling with which they must have taken their seats to-day, and have seen that vagant chair.To the country we may say, from this place where we knew bim best and could best appreciate him,.a loss has fallen that is almost incalculable, But there is a deeper aflegtion still, and one which I will not venture fo touch upon, for I will not pass the sacred threshold where private griefs are hidden from the public eye, but T may say this, that no man within my knowledge so wore \u2018\u2018the white flower of a blameless life,\u201d ard perhaps tnere is scarcely any man among 4s who might be suddenly called to make up the great record, who will find so few pages he would have to blot out as L.H.Holton.Mr, Tasse desired to add his humble tribute of respect to that which had been so eloquently tendered by the hon.gentleman who had preceded him tothe memory of their late and lamented colleague.If there was -one quality which formed a trait in the deceased gentleman\u2019s character more than another, which was especially the attribute of a lovable disposition, it was affection for youth, Towards younger members of the House he always manifested a kind interest, irrespective of litical opinions.It was in obedience to the sentiment of personal gratitude that he (Mr, Tasse) added his tribute to the memory of the member for Chateauguay in that language which was not Without its charm to the regretied geutleman.The spectacle we bad witnessed, though a painful and touching one, was not the less admirable.Into the tomb which opened for the late Mr.Holton fell the tears, mot only of those whose lives had throughout mingled in harmony with his, but also of those who had been his political adversaries for over twenty-five years.In his death the Liberal party suffered a great loss, and the House begame deprived of one of its most useful members, THE LATE MR, HOLTON.THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS \u2014V(TE§ OF CINDOLENCE.The arrangements for thé funeral of the late Hon.Mr.Holton are now completed.It was intended that the funeral services should have taken place ia the Church of the Messiah, but, in cousequence ef the numberof visitors expected from outside laces, and the great interest taken in the Foneyal by the citizens, it has been determined that the peremony shall be held in the American Presbyterian Church, Last evening a large number of friends came down from Ottawa,

and La BANQUE NATIONALE (plaintiffs below), re- spondents\u2014The appellants raised the question that a promissory note for $2,000, made by them in their corporate capacity, and signed by the President and Secretary Treasurer, was illegal, Cross, J., was of opinion that the appellants had been rightly condemned to pay the amount of the note.This Court had already held, in the case of Cerporation of Grantham and Couture, that a Corporation will be held liable in an action on such note, where it is not alleged that the note was given fraudulently, or with- outany legal consideration.The motion made to be allowed to affix double stamps would be granted, the failureto cancel the stamps on the note being a mere error, and the reveaue not being injured in any way.Judgment confirmed.UNITED PROTESTANT WORKINGMEN'S BENEFIT SOCIETY.FOURTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING.The fourteenth annual meeting of the above Society was held last evening in Perry\u2019s Union Hall, Craig street, the President, Mr.John Doyle, in the chair, supported on his right and left by the Vice-Presidents, Messrs.Christopher Sonne aud Joshua Ward, together with the Medical Officer of the Society, Dr.John T.Finnie.The RECORDING SECRETARY read the minutes of last annual meeting, which were coufirmed, MEDIGAL OFFICER\u2019S REPORT.Dr.JouN T, FINNIE read his eighth annual report as follows :\u2014 To the President, Officers and Members of the United Protestant Workingmen's Benefit Society.GENTLEMEN,\u2014With this meeting to-night will close another year of the Society\u2019s career, being the fourteenth since it was instituted ; and although the sick list and death-rate have not been as fow as might be wished for, yet it is my pleasing \u2018duty to have to report a very considerable reduction 1a both during the past year.Five last anaual meeting.The causes of death being as follows : Ulcer of the stomach, 1; consumption, 1; apeplexy, 1; traumatic apoplexy, 1; inflammation of lungs, 1; all the deaths occurring among members who had been connected with the Society almost since its formation.In comparing the number of deaths with preceding.years, I find that it is less than we have had since 1875.Last year we lost eight members by death, and the year before eleven.Durivg the year four members\u2019 wives died, the causes of death being as follows :\u2014Consumption, 3; cancer of liver, 1; being one in excess of last year, and the same number the year preceding.Twenty-eigh! candidates passed the necessary medical examination to become members of the Society, being an increase of five on last year, but very much less than preceding years.No doubt this dearth in the number of members is largely due to the continued depression in business, and to the increase, of late years, of Benefit Societies having much the same objects in view as our own.During the year ninety-four members were attended at their homes for periods less than a week, and consequently were not recipients of benefits other than my services and medicines.The average number of week\u2019s benefit granted to members during the year was twenty-six weeks, bein} a-decrease on last year of twenty- five per cent., and on the preceding year of fifty per cent.Of those who were on the sick list during the year a large number were disabled through accidents of various kinds consequent upon the various trades, Of the numerous diseases from which the members have suffered, bronchitis, diarrhœa, rheumatism and dyspepsia, have been the principal causes of disability.During the year some hundreds received advice and medicines at my office.While it is gratifying to know that there has been a very considerable decrease in the amount of sickness, and aleo in the number of deaths, yet I look forward to à still lower amount of sickness, as I believe, causes and influences have been at work for & year or two past that are not likely to continue.I regret the falling ott of new members, as I look upon the continued addition of young members as the hope and mainstay of our future ; and would urge ugon each of you to do your utmost towards bringing candidates in, using discretion always in urging any ome to join, The members were removed by death since our.of the city.On motion the amended by-law of last year was continued for another year, namely fifty cents per month.The following officers were elected for next year :\u2014President, Mr.John Doyle, re-elected ; Vice-Presidents,Mr.Christopher Sonne and Mr.Ward; Physician, Dr.Jobn T.Finnie, re-elected ; Treasurer, Mr.Richard Seale, re-elected ; Rec.Secretary, Mr.W.J.Butterworth ; Fin.Secretary, Mr.Samuel Gray, re-elected ; Trustees, Messrs.Francis McCulloch, William Cowie, Thomas Imrie, R.H.Brown, and John Cunningham.The election of Stewards for the various wards was left over.THE BUDGET.CONCLUSION OF MR.MACKENZIE'S CRITICISM.Mr.MACKENZIE\u2014The bon.gertle- man opposite was obliged to send Sir Alexander Galt to Belfast to apologize for his policy, and to make a speech there which the bon.gentieman didn\u2019t feel capable, or willing, to make himself.Sir L.TILLEY\u2014I was on the Atlantic.Mr.MACKENZIE -Yes, but you were there before you went on the Atlantic, and knew that these people wished to see you.{Hear, bear.) Admitting, however, that tne hou.gentleman did right under the circumstances, I oan only say it is an exceedingly inconvenient arramgement to have a Financ> Minister who doesn\u2019t occupy a seat\u2019in either bench of the Logislature.(Hear, hear.) How did the hon.gentlemau manage to make up his calcu lat.ons a3 to the revenue for the year is something I am now unable to perceive.He admits that while the revenue from July, 1877, to the first of Marc-, 1878, was $15 032,742, that for the same period in 1879-80 was only $14,083,534.Yet he ex: pects to bring up the revenue to the figure he mentions, If we apply the same principles of calculation that are applied elsewhere as to the remaining part of the year we would only have reason to expect an additional revenue of something over six millione.And eupposing we add a million to that for the purpose of making up for what .EXTRAORDINARY IMPORTATIONS might take place under the peculiar circumstances, and we would have a total revenue, calculated by the hon.gentleman\u2019s own figures, of a little over twenty-one millions.The member for Cumberland laid great stress upon the fact that there had been geveral deficits, and he lectured my hon.friend beside me (Sir Richard Cartwright) as being a king of deficits.He disoussed that subject as though there was something disreputable in having a deficit.Now, sir, if there was a deficit, it was simply because the Government wereunwilling to impose additional taxation, during a time of deep depression of trade.But notwithatanding that depression, had values not fallen as they did there would have been no deficite.(Hear, bear.) It was therefore clearly right that we should calculate to some exten\u2019 upon the reanimation of trade, upon realizing better prices in future, and upon the natural rebound of the revenue.Under these circumstances it was right that we should not look upon a deficit as an insurmountable evil, Because, sir, the money has to be provided in some way, and the only question that can pessibly arise is this :\u2014 Is it better for the Government to impose additional taxation than to leave that amount to be an additional charge against the country in another shape?The country bas to pay it in either case, and while I agree as a general principle that in the normal state of trade THERE 8HOULD BE NO DEFICIT, but a superabundant revenue, I can only say that under the circumstances we adopted the bast course bat could be adopted.But the hon.gentleman was not content with denouncing the general existence of the deficit, although there was a gentle~ man sitting not far from him who had deficits amounting to twice the ameunt of our deficits during the few Years he was in power before 1862.He ought, therefore, to have been more moderate in his denunciations of my friend.\u201d They instituted the policy of allowing deficits to occur when there was no depression of trade and no prospect of meeting them.We pursued the contrary policy, and if any Government was justified in allowing deficits to exist for a few years we were.But the hon.gentleman was not content with denouncing the existence of deficits as a political, if not a moral, wrong.He also grossly overstated the amount.I quite admit-that it was not more overstated than things usually are by the, mem! er for Cumberland.(Hear, hear, and laughter.) We look for such overstatements from the hon.gentleman.He is always in excese of his figures.For instance, he stated the other night that 1 eame into office with a majority of ninety at my back, which the hon.gentleman must have known was not the case.Now the bon.gentleman states that our deficits reached from eight tonine millions.Now, I will read to the House the exact statement of THE DEFICITS AS THEY OCCURRED.In 1875 there was a surplus of $976,644 ; in 1875-76 a deficit of $1,900,795; in 1876- 77 a deficit of $1,450,027; in 1877-78 a deficit of $1,128,147 ; and in 1878-79a deficit of $1,937,999.Although I include this last year, because we prepared the estimates for that year, hon.gentlemen opposite introduced a very large expenditure, for which we were not at all responsible.But even if we assume the responsibility for all that expenditure our entire deficits amounted to $6,426,968.But we have to deduct the surplus of 1874-75, which leaves a net deficit of $5,491,324.From this again we have to deduct the amount which, during that time, we paid _for the extinction of ihe debt, although 1t is invested otherwise at present.In other words, we paid into the sinking fund $4,- 090,064, which left our entire deficit for the period that we were in office, including the first half of the last year, $1,401,260, while the hon.gentleman made it out in his extraordinary speech to be between eight and nine millions.(Cheers.) Now, sir, when I am on the subject of finance let me deal with another subject.In the earlier part of my remarks I said that while we were able to keep our expenditure during our term of office down to a point very little higher than the amount of the last year for which the hon, gentlemen opposite tovk the estimates, that is 1878-4, there were other expenditures forced upen us by no policy cf our own which we were entitled to deduct, and I may say generally that WE KEPT WITHIN THE ESTIMATE of the Finance Minister of 1873-4 in our expenditure for that year.(Hear, hear.) We spent $560,000, if I recollect rightly, less than the hon.gentlemen estimated for.(Hear, hear.) But, sir, in the last year for which we took estimates, 1878.9, when we were in office three and-a-half months, they not osly did not keep within the limits of our estimates, but they expended a little over half a million more than our estimates covered.(Hear, hear.) And yet we are charged with that half million, as well as some other payments for which we kave no responsibility whatever.(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Now | propose to giÿe come exact figures of certain services which were performed by us which the Government preceding us did net pertorm, and which we reasonably must deduct from our total expenditure when comparing it with the expenditure of hon.gentlemen opposite in the years 1873-4.We paid in 1874-5 in increases over the previous years in interest on the death and subsidies to the Provinces $868,- 938 ; in 1875-6 we paid $866 561 ; in 1876- 7, $1, 223,538 ; in 1877-8, $1,393,725 ; and last year, for which I do mot assume responsibility or take any credit, $1,696,843.Under the Weight and Measures Act, under which gentlemen opposite prior to 1874 paid nothing, ve paid in 1874-5, $69,- 969 ; in 1875 6 $96,785, in 1876-7, $111,- 085, and in 1877-8, $95,484.For the NORTH-WEST MOUNTED POLICE, a gervieo prov.ded for and party organized by the previous Administration, we had to expend in excess of their expenditure in 1874-5, $138,984; in 1875-6, $169,919; in 1876-7, $163,140 ; and in 1877-8, $135,149.We had also to pay for the extinguishment of Indian titles in the North-West in excess of the hon.gentlemen opposite ia 1874-5, $49,422 ; in 1876.6, $180,307; in these « xpenditures for the administration of justice can we be held responsible in any shape, except that for the Supreme Court, and the responsibility for that is shared by hon.gentlemen opposite.Then, sir, no paymentsÿwere made by hon.gentlemen opposite before we came into office on aceount of Prince Edward Island.We knew from the official statement that the expendi*ures connected with that Province amount to about $800,000 a year.Of that about $370,000 composes the subsidy to the Proviuce, and the interest upon the amount of debt allotted under the terms of the union to the Dominion.I therefore calculate half, or $400,000, as the amount which it was imposed upon us to provide in addition to the subsidy and debt.Then we had additional expenditure upon the Intercolonial Railway over the last year of hon.gentlemen opposite, in 1876-7, wben the main line was completed, of $360,124, and in 1877-8 of $509,724.Wall, sir, the net resultis this, that we paid of such items a8 were never paid by hon.gentlemen opposite at all in 1874-5, $1,620 843 ; in 1875-6 $1 811,322; in 1876-7, $2,571,044, and in 1877.8, $2,977,622.(Hear, hear, and cheers.) I omic from this altogether some special itema for which WE MIGHT FAIRLY TAKE CREDIT, We had to meet the entire expenditure of the liabilities at Philadelphia, we had to meet the entire expenditure at Sidney, and we had to meet a very large portion of the ex.enditure of the Exhibition at Paris.We had also to meet a very large expenditure connected with the Boundary survey in the West.Besides all these there is a sum of $13,000 for the organization cf the North-West Territories, which I have not included.I have in fact omitted a very large number of items which I fairly might include, and which would swell the total amount by two or three humired thousand dollurs.(Hear, hear.) But wishing, sir, contrary to the practice of the hon, member for Cumberland, to speak with such accuracy as cannot be impugned, I have made up the statement as I have now read it to the House.Now, sir, what would be the net result of those figures?They show that we spent, as I have said, $563,- 000 less than the estimates of the Finance Minister in 1873.The estimates on that occasion amounted to $28,816,316.That included one considerable item of expenditure on the Intercolonial Railway which the hon.member for Cumberland will remember he condemned us for charging to revenue instead of to capital account.Had we 50 charged it our expenditure would have been something like A MILLION UNDER THE ESTIMATES.Making deductions which faust be made if a fair comparison wae to be made, the expenditure in 1874-56 was $22,092,228; in 1875-6, $22,677,050; ia 1876-7, $20,948,257; in 1877-8, $20,625 530; in 1878-9, $20,898,- 470.This last was based, on the supposi- 4 tion that we were reaponsible for the Estimates for that year, a responsibility which I admit so far as the first Estimates were concerned, but no: with regard to the supplementary Estimates last year.I think I can fairly appeal tc the House if I have not sbown most conclusively that our Administration, initead of being charged, as they have been, with exirava- gauce, were entitled to the praise and confidence of the House ani country for the economy they exercised in the discharge of their public duties.I have said nothing about the unavoidable increases, such as the Civil Service extension, made neces sary by the addition of another Province to the Dominion, the sulary of the Lieu.tenant-Governor of the North-West, payments to his Council, ard expenditures of a public character in the territory of Keewatin.I have not taken notice of many things I might fairly have mentioned, because I desire only to refer to such matters as are indisputable.While speaking on the tariff I omitted to mention one point, and though it is somewhat out of my line of argument, with the permission of the House I will deal with it now.ONE OF THE PRETENCES of hon.gentlemen opposite in advocating the National Policy was that it would benefit the farmer.It was alleged that because the Uuited States imposed certain duties upon our grain we should meet them with a counter duty, or, as the hon.member for Cumberland said, we should adopt the sincerest form of fluitery by following their example.(Hear.) That the Government did so we know.Except under urgent circumstances or for particular reasons, no grain coming into this country paid duty on account of the tariff.This measure, of course, had not the effect of increasing prices, for we know that the prico of wheat was relatively higher in Chicago and other western cities under the regime of hon.gentlemen opposite since the introduction of the tariff than before we had any duty upon foreign wheat.Bat while they were willing 0 make pretences to farmers of assisting them and meeting their views, hon.gentlemen opposite decided that it was neeessary to impose a duty on some articles that might put money into their pockets, They have im~ posed the heaviest duties upon the poorest articles of woollen cloth, that made the poor man pay ten timé& as much as the rich man, inasmuch as the sçpeeific duty upon the finest cloths was the same as upon the poorest.They endeavoured in that way to give protection to the woollen manufacturers, ard the decrease in the quantity of woollen goods brought into the country since then shows how effectually that protection has been used.But now, driven by the complaints of hundreds of thousands of the honest yeomanry, who feel they have been SOLD AND IMPOSED UPON BY SPECIOUS PROMISES \u2014 (cheers)\u2014hon.gentlemen opposite have decided that something must be done, and they have imposed a duty of three cents per pound on wool of Cotawold, Leicester and Lincoln sheep.I can hardly believe that the hon.Finance Minister does not know there is not a pound of these wools imported into Canada.(Cheers and laughter.) In order that there may be no mistake abous it, I will read extracts from some letters I bave received.One gentleman, who is probably the largest dealer in wool in the Dominion, says : \u2014 \u2018I see by this merning\u2019s Glebe that Sir Leonard, in his Budget Speech, proposes to put a duty on wool of 3c per pound on combing wools of Leicester, Cotswold and Lincoinshire sheep.Mr.Filley wiil not get one dollar of revenue from this source, as we do not impor.one pound of this class of combing wool into this country, and we are not likely to do so, a> we have no machinery to manufacture the class of goods this type of wool is most suitable for, and we can buy wools {rom other countries at a great deal less, and more sulted to onr trade.This isa transparent frayd on farmers, and will be of no benelüt to them or injury to our woollen manufacturers.The price of thls ciass of wool is determined in England, which 1s our on y competitor, for she produces over 1vv,0 u,00u 1bs., and we produce about 8,un 00 19s.I have been in the usiness for twenty years, and have only been able to ship this type of wool to England tliere tmos.Our market has always been the United States.I bought and sold 1,307,000 1bs.of wool in 1879, of which 900,0 0 1bs, went to the States, and tne balance was used in Canada.I will be glad to hear [rom you on this wool question, because I am interested.\u201d Another letter from a manufacturer is as follows :\u2014 ¢1 see in the Montreal HERAID this day that the Government intend putiing a duty of three cents per pound on Leicester, Lincoln and Cotswold Wools by way of p.easing the farmers ; but it will not benefit them one cent., as this class of wi asa rule, are worth more generally than Canadian wools are here, and consequently are not likeiy to be largely imported.But there are woolsimported of the long sample coarse hair which do not compete wiih Canadian in the mauufacture of carpets, blankets, flannels, ana coarse tweeds, and grey cloths, knitting yarns, &.The wools I refer ts are East India, China, Egyptian, Russian, Italian, Turkey, and in any other kinds of coarse German and other continental woois which are now used ln Canada .n the manufacture of blanket: and other heavy wools.If1it 1s really 1 ecessury for us to be protected, the farm.r should have a share of it, and not such an imaginary portiun as the proposed duty will be.\u201d These letters go to show tha: the Finance Minister does not know precisely what he ie talking about.(Cheers and lgughter.) I was surprised\u2014well, no,1 was not surprised\u2014 (renewed laughter)\u2014I was somewhat interested to bear the hon.member for Cumberland denounce the efforts made by the late Administration in 1874 TO OBTAIN RECIPROGAL TRADE with the United States.He represented the plenipotentiary accredited by Her, Majesty's Government at our instance as going down on his kaces to the Yankees und telling them that we had nothing more we could give thew, ag all hud been given away.No doubt be had a feeling rec lection of what was given away in 1871 by his present leader.(Cheers.) He was right is saying that nearly all we had had been given away, but not by us.We million dollars spent 1a defending this country from marauders from the United States.(Cheers.) No country ever was 80 humiliated as Canada was by the hon.gentleman\u2019s leader unless it was E gland in concurring in the decisions of the Convention.The hon.gentleman was right in saying that everything was given away.(Renewed cheering.) We gave away the free navigation of the St.Lawrence for ever in return for the right to navigate the Yuean and Stickeen rivers, at Alaska, thcugh the hon.gentleman was probably not before aware that wealready possessed this right.We secured permission also to navigate a canal in our own territory at St.Clair Flats.(Laughter.) If there had been anything else to give away it would bave been given away by the craven abject policy pursued in Washington in 1871.(Loud cheering.) Ths hon.gentleman sneered at our plenipotentiary, and spoke of the expense of the negotiations.Our plenipotentiary NEVER CHARGED THE GOVERNMENT ONE CENT for his services ; yet under the hon.gentleman opposite an abortive mission to France and Spain has already cost the country $12,000, without one iota of result, good, bad, or indifferent.The hon.gentlemen opposite have bought up a Senator who charged his political views and went over to the other side of the Atlantic, Leing paid $1,500 to do something in Parie, while $12,- 000 was being paid to Sir Alexander Galt for the saine purpose.These figures appear in the Pablic Accounts, and show as transparent a bribe as was ever offered to a public man.Yet we are lectured on this side of the House becauss we did not suc- ce:d in & praisewerthy effort at Washington to obtain the saws terms of equality in our trade with the United States.Hongentlemen opposite 8sem to think it is a grand thing to revile us\u2014that is a grand priuciple of political action to appiy the lex tationis.We know that it is inevitable that this country should associate with the United States in trade relations, and we cannot avoid it.We are side by side with them for thousands of miles.They are the same people as ourselves.\u2018they are a British country.Although they have a different system of Government that is no reason why we should not cultivate the closest trade relations with poem.(Hear, hear.) We expect them to 9 OUR MOST PROFITABLE CUST)MERS next to Great Britain, and anything that tends to injare the prospects of our trade with that country is a fatal stab at our own prosperity.(Hear, hear.) But we find that during the recess Ministers were guilty of the indiscretion of boasting of what they were doing against that country, and the other night the member for Cumberland boasted in his own pecaliar style that we now had the United S:ates at our feet, that now four millions of people could dictate terms to fifty millions, that now we were taking matters into our own hands, that tke United States would see that we were bound to have a policy of protection, that we determined to keep Canada for the Canadians, that the United States could come to us and solicit at our hands a portion of the good things wa have to offer, Nothing could be more ridiculous, nothing more absurd.We can discuss these mote ters with the peeple of the United States in a reasonable, sensible way.I hope we nizy be able to see again, as we have in the past, that the prosperity of both countries can be considerad together, and that while we are -regolved to retain our own political system and relations, we may still be desirous to maintain friendly trade ie~ lations with that great country.(Hear, hear.) By following such a course as that, we may be ably to achieve something with them, bat if we persist In maintaining a defiant and offensive position towards them, we shall only * LEND ADDITIONAL §TRENGTH to the arms of those in the United States who are opposed to our (x'stence bere as a separate nauonality.We are only doirg an injury to our own country in attempiæ ing to retaliate against a people twelve tims ag strong as we are.(Hear, hear.) When we were in office we found \u201chat the malt-trade between Canada and the United States was a profi'able one, and we found that the nominal duty under the old tariff \u2014for it was never realized\u2014was looked upon by the p:ople of the United States as intended to exclude their products from this country.Hor.gentlemen oppcsite took off the excise duty we had on malt, and reimposed two cents .per pound on malt coming from abroad.The result of that is this, that in the United States Legislature at present they have taken up the challenge to retaliate, and have imposed such .a duty on malt going into that country as will ranke it impossible for Canadiau maltsters long to continue that trade, and this actiom is caused by the mischieyous meddling of hon.gentlemen opposite with matters which they de not understand.(Hear, hear.) They pretend to have AN UNLIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRADE, but, sir, the very tariff resolations which they introduced last year were borrowed, with everything attached to them, from the United States tariff.(Hoar hear.) And all will remember thai some of the rags of the United States bung around them after they were brought :n.Words which were only applicable to Washington we found printed in the resolutions which were placed on our desks\u2014 (Hear, hear, and laughter)\u2014showing that the hon.gentleman, while he was determined to have a protective tariff, did not know exactly what he meant, and so had to \u201c look to Washington\u201d for a model.(Hear, hear, ard laughter.) he Minister of Railways said the other evening that such was the brilliancy of our prospects as Canadians, such wus the prosperity which had dawned on tuis country, that-\u2014and 1 am quoting the hon.genileman\u2019s own words\u2014 \u2018\u2018 people were ever since rushing into Canada to partake of the benefits of this policy.\u201d (Laughter) * Rushing into the country !\u201d Why, sir, there bas been a steady rush out of Canada ever sinc@ their National Policy went into operation.(Hear, hear) The Minister of Finance acknowledged honestly in the House the other night that thousands of people have left St.John for the United States, and the only excuse the hon gentic- man gave was that they cime into New Bruaswick because there was employment to be had in 1876-77, and they lett in 1880 because No EMPLOYMENT WAS TO BH HAD.That is precisely what we say ; that is exactly the ground we take.(Hea¥, hear) Under the late Government work was, generally speaking, never in the dark period so scarce as now.Lut the moment the stamp of the wicked policy of hom, gentlemen opposite was set on the ccun- try-\u2014the mask of the beast, some one near me suggests\u2014(laughter)\u2014the moment the trail of the serpent was seen on the land, that moment the peopls began to move.I mentioned in the House the official statement made by the Uuited S:ates Consul at Sarnia that during this last season no fewer than 23,000 Canadians croased the river at that point to settle in the United States, and 1 Lave no doubt but there has been a similar exodus from New Byunewick and Nova Scotia.Sir L.TILLEY \u2014The Americans should not be annoyed at our policy in that case.Mr.MACKENZIE\u2014So far as acquiring a desirable \u2018population they should not, Let they cam afford to take the population and retaliatory policy of the Government.But, sir, the hon.gentleman opposite let us into a secret the other night.Hoa told us that the leader of the Government had approached Earl Beaconsfield and had ge- cured the services of that distinguished gentleman as a Canadian immigration agent.There was to be seen on that occasion .ONB ON THE MOST PITIABLE EXHIBITING that ever was taken part in by a British Premier.[ was sorry that any demented Canadian should have had an epportuaity of reaching his ear and thus making bim responsiole for the preposterous s'atsment which be made in a speech shortly afte:- wards, I bad been under the impression that it was some vagrant Canadian who bad thus imposed upon the credulity of the Premier of Great Britain; but when I came to know the other night that it was the Prime Minister of Canada who had in- atilled such nonsense into his mind I was more than astonished, and I trust that no Canadian, whether Prime Minister or com _ moner, or & private citizen, will eve and at the same tima resent the intolerant | shall pever consent to a policy which, while raising some revenue for the State, imposes eight or ten times that amount in tuxes wbion are to be paid over.to a few favoured individaale.(Hear, hear.) It is said we are hostile to t.e manufacturers.How are we hostile to that class?We believe that the revenue tariff which was in (xistenca in our time gave very consi- durable protection to the manufacturers.It was caly an incidenial protection, and whatever may be in a name it was à protection neverthe'ess, because it gava every manufacturer in the country 17} cents on the dollar more than he would be entitled to were there trade free between this und foreign conntrice.We took steps at the various Exhibitions in the South Saas, in Europe, and in the Uni'ed States to have OUR MANUFACTVRERZ PRGPERLY REPRE~ SENTED.We took every step to advertise in a legitimate way the products of our maau- facturers, and the natural result was that these efforts were beginning te produce fruit.A very considerable amount of our manufactured goods were sect to Germany shd France, some to the Cape of Good Hope, 8 me to Australian colonies, and some to New Zealand \u2014and all by the eff r s of the Administration te make our manufactures known.It is said that hon.gentlemen opposite were peculisrly kind In uffording protection to abip-buildere, and two Ministere, the member for Cumberland and the member for St.John, are taking special credit to themselves in this matter.The former attacked the late Administration in 1874 because we were imposing unusual burdens on the shipbuilders.And what has happened vader the new system ?The ship-building interest was never so depre.sed.The shipyards of Quebec are quiet, and there are thousands of idle men in that city who formerly found considerable employment.I saw two ship-builders from that city today, who told me that the city was never in such a state, partly from the failure of the ship-buiiding, from tbe tanff, and partly from tha failure of workingmen to obtain the labour which had been promised them by the present Ministry.The Minister of Finance said, in reply to some remarks of mine with regard to his own Province, that I was mistaken, that there was A LARGE AMOUNT OF MANUFACTURING DONE THERE.I have no special intimacy with that Province, and I shall leave some of the mem- bere from New Brunswick to deal with that question ; but what I said was this, that the Finance Minister in endeavouring to account for the probable danger to his Province of the legislation here pointed out to them over and over again that they would become a great manufacturing centre and senl their goods to the far West.What I said was that, while there was no doubt of the in:elligence and enterprise of the people of New Brunswick, I danied that they bad any special facilities which would enable them to cope with a people a thousand miles away.What I said then, and what I say now, is that there are no such special advantages to be obtained in New Brunswick, and the hon.gentleman failed to wake the peeple of his Province believe that he could effect an impossibility.Indeed.the hou, geatle- man admitted that there was less working- people now in his constituency than there were some years ago.(Hear, hear.) His manner of accounting for the fact I leave to the dispogal of hon.gentlemen from hia own Province.Qur policy as a party towards the manufacturers there and elsewhere was simply that no oliss of the community should ke placed upon a foot- iug inferior to thut possessed by any cther class, and if manufacturers obtaiced undue preponderance in the way of protection we thought that the result would be INJURIOUÉ TO ALL OTHER CLASSES, that it would esp-cially be injurious to farmers and mechanics, and, in a minor degree, to labourers; that the money which went to make millionaires of a fow would have to be extorted from the people who earn the resl wealth of the country by their hard labour.(Hear, bear.) The bon.member for Cumberland stated, sir, in the most pronounced man~ ner, that in 1876 my hon.friend (Sir Richard Cartwright) and the late Government had determined upon the introduction of a higher tariff, and that they were deterred from doing #0 by & deputation headed by Mr.Jones, who represented to the Government bis determination to oppose the Government if such an increase wag effected.I have to tell the hon.gentleman that bis story is wholly imaginary- (Hear, hear.) The Government never determined upon any such policy.(Hamar, hear.) The Government were never visited by Mr.Jones with any such message, (Hea, hear.) There was a question Ab the time as to the policy of obtaining additional revenue or allowing the past deficit to accrue, sadasa matter of course, there were discussions aniongst thoss who might anticipate the purpose of the Government to impose a higher rate on imports.I hope the hon.gentleman will not in future repeat that statement, (Hear, hear, and laughter.) My hon, friend be= bind me says his whole speech was only a tories of repetitions, and it will be repeated again.(Hear, hear.) I would suggest then that the hon.gentieman should GET THIS SPEECH PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED, as thas would save nia going over a great deal of the ground.I have very little further to say at the present time, though there are many things I would like to discuss.There are, however, one or two other things to which I desire briefly to refer.The hon.member for Cumberiand said that we gained office in 1873 by un.boly means.(Laughter.) Well, sir, what were the unholy means?Hon.gentlemen had a vote of want of confidence, which L moved, as leader of the Opposition in this House, pending against them.They discussed it for days and day, and they at last went sneaking out of the House one night, the Minister of Finance with a commission of Lieutenaut-Governor awaiting him, another member ôf the Government with the commission of Judge awaiting him, aud the hon.gentleman got up and stated, in his place in the House, that they iniended to resume the debate on the following day, and asked us to agree to an adjournment, which they knew,in the state of the House, they could not carry.(Cheers.) The majority assented to adjaurn on this represeutation, aud befora the House again met Licutenant-Governor Tilley and Judge MacHougall were off for their respective positions.(Cheara and laughter.) Well, sir, the Government failed to test their position by a vote of the House,and they went out by the back door, endeavouring to get away | .UNDER COVER AND HIDING THEM3ELVRS a3 they best could.(Cneers and laughter.) Under these circumstances we were callod by the Gorvernor-General to assume office, and yet the hon.gentleman says we ob= tained office by unholy means.(Renewed chee:s.) Why, sir, if our means of obtaining office were unholy, I look in vain to the vocabulary of the hon.member for Cumberland for words expressive of the condition to which hon.gentlemen opposite were reduced at that moment.(Hear, bear, and cheers.) To be sure, sir, the member for Cumberland took good care shortly afterwards to wask his hands of the transaction.(Hu.ar, hear.) He 8il that he, at any rate, was not to blame, shat be bad no hand in the pie ; but after he and the whole of thosa who took part in that transaction have come hack to be leäders in the House he defends it almost and flings taunts across the House against those who were called on to admisister the affaira of the country when they were no longer able to do so.I would just say sir, that when gentlemen on this side of the House are disposed to let thig matter sleep, gentlemen oppusite had better do so.(Hear, dear.) But if they persist in discussing these things, it may be necsesary for us to discuss what was the condition of the country at the time, what have been the results since, and what ia to ba expected from the continuance of puch gen- emen in office in the cheers.) fatare.(Lond \u2014\u2014 MAINE NEWS, \u2014_\u2014 Hop Bitters, which are advert i CO:UIBNS, Ars à sure cure For aan Samos ness and kidney complaints, Those who u.e them gay they cannot be too highly recommended.\u2018Those sfllcted should give them a fair trial, and wii] become thereby enthusiastic 1n th i : ) ualities, Portland dd, © 0 HOI curative | victed in the North- District of Keewatip, Sop ON MACDONALD moved that Government business shail have pros: dence immediately after routine process\u201d ings on l'huredays during tho remal ion.\u2014Carried.0 ir.BABY moved the House into Commi: tes of the Whole to consider certain resolutions relating to the inspeciio > i as follows :\u2014 or ah box of smoked herriogs, two o.nts;

_.After further discussion, the Commit tee raported.Ia resuming the adjourned dsbate on the proposed motion for the second reading of the resolutions reported from the Cemmittee of Ways and Means, Mr.McCALLUM said that the House and the countiy would feel grateful to the Policy that was inaugurated last session.It being six o'clock, the Speaker left the Chair.AFTER RECESS.Mr.OLIVER raid ib was his duty and privilege to say something on that question to the House and the country.It bad been claimed by the member for Monck that the National Policy would bring about reciprocity, but he found that such a high authority as Mr.John Bright had said that the Canadian policy would bo more likelv to result in the Dominion becom~ ing connected with tbe United States.He had found by examination of statistical returns that the balance of trads argument of the hon.gentlemen \u2018opposite was a delusion of the worst description.He read from returns to show that the balance of trade was not an iadis cation of a country\u2019s prosperity or otherwise, The mos: prosperous years that Cangla had had since Confederation were from 1870 to 1874, when the balance of trade againat; t:e country was one hundred and five million dollars.The Finance Minister of 1873 (Mr.Tilley) had stated thut the excess of imports over exports in that year was proof of the prosperity of the Dominion, but in 1879 he (Mr.Tilley) took the opposite ground.In regard to publie expenditure the Minister of Railways bad stated that the Governmens had a lags number ef unfinished works handed down to them by their predecesiors.He read from the Budget speech of Mr, Tilley, in 1873, to prove that all the works that were car ried on by the Mackenzie Government bad been handed down by a legacy from the Macdonald Government to their successor.The whole incteuse in thé ordinary expenditure of tho Government of his hon.friend for Lambton had been increased only $200,000 in the five years in which they bad been in power.During the years 1876 to 1877 the inereass in the Dominion Savings Department had been $1,700,000, and in the year in which the hon.gvntieman took office this hud been decreased by roma $500,000.Ia all parts of the gouatry real estate had decreased very Considerably during the last year and-a - hall.Speaking of the decline in rents he ssid that in some sections tenants ware occupying rouses free of rent.There bad been a general decline in the value of stoeksPand there had been a large increase in the number of bankruptcies.Ia 1877 21,474 persons had left the Dominion and settled in the United States, while for ths six months of 1879, 15,146 persons had left the country.They wonid now come to the city of Hamilton.If there was a city in the Do:ninion which ought to have benefited by the Tariff it was this manufacturing centze of the Dominion, yet they found that while in that city in 1878 there were 877 vYacant houses, she number had increased in 1879 to 528.Ia the city of Ottawa there were upwards of 1,700 vacant housee, He quoted from the now defunct Halifex Reporter a gloomy picture of the state of affairs in that city.It had been stated before the last election that the workingmen of the country were to be benefited by the N.P., were to bave more work and higher pay.the promises made by the Cunservatité leaders to the workingmen been fulfilled ?\u2018Phis he de- pied and said that so far from there having been an increase in tho \u2018Tate of wages there had been a reduction.The representatives from Prince Edward Issänd had also borne testimony to the injurious reaults of the operation of the Tariff in that Provinca.As an offset to this the people of that Province demanded a portion of the Fishery Award, and, failing to secure this, talked of secession.In Nova Scotia he found that a similar move was being made.148 another evidence of the de- pressior, they had a falling of in the revenue ot the Intercolonial Railwa while they also had a petition from torn 3,000 residents of St.John, N.B » against the tariff, He protested againat the high duties On tea and sugar, because tha Treasury did not receive the benefi', but the moneyjwent into the pockets of the import ers and manufacturers.Another objection to the sugar duties was, that they head diverted the wholesale trade from the Pro- Yince oË Oatario to the Province of Quebec In 1878 che importations of sugar into the Provines of Ontario amounted to 32,000 000 pounda, while in 1879 they only amounted to 9,000,000 pounds.- The importation of sugar into the Province of Quebec in 1878 amounted te 19,000,000 pounds while i 1879 it amounted to 43 000,000 ou de.The principal reason why he Pobiested 8.this discussion wag that one fires rea 2 the benefit.By one rise in sugar oy Bedpath Company cleared $800,000 © r.GAULT \u2014 The hon.gentleman ought to know that there were two manufacturers in the city of Montreal com eti pretty hard against each other.Peting Mr.OLIVER \u2014Not very hard, I guess (Laughter) Le next alluded to the cot~ ton monopoly, aud afterwards touched upon the increase of émuggling.The mamber for Monck (Mr.McCallum) had claimed that the tariff had given the farmers a home market; not the only article of farm produce for which increased price had been secured wag wheat, This increase bad been brought about by circu stances abroad, while the pricas pr other grains bad decreased, The Fiaane Minister had alse tried to delude the tar.mer by imposing a duty of three cents or pound en wool, of which we did not im .* one pound inte the Country.Wp Fe the long wool which we did nos A re facture protected, while the short wool which we did not manufacture was not As tected ?The preparation of this scie vie tariff, frem W.H.Frazer to Senator Fab ;

there is a fair amount of business in commercial paper, which is discounted by the Banks from 6@8 per cent.as to name and date, the bulk of the transactions being at 7 per cent.; on call money loans at 5 per cent.and on time at about 6.Sterling Exchange is quiet at 94 @ 93 for 60.dey bills;

RAILWAYS AND RAILWAYS, We suppose that the country is com- enitted to the piece of railway starting, a8 it is said, from \u201c no where, to reach \u201c\u20ac no place,\u201d serving a population of two or three thousand people, out of the ten or twelve thousands, which make up the whole number of whites in British Columbia.We say this because it would probably be too much to expect, from such human nature as we meet with in members of Parliament, to suppose it possible for them to be for once pa\" triotic enough to condemn an act of the Ministry, however palpably absurd.Sir Charles Tupper and Co.took Parliament by the throat a few days before the session began, and, notwithstanding the hatred felt by the Ministry for all things Yankee, signed a contract with Oaderdonk & Co.for this bit of ra\u2018lway on the Lower Fraser River.Why the N.P.should not apply to the Government as well as to the poor Paterfamilias» who spts a piano in order that his danghter may fit herself to earn her living by teaching music is what does not seem very clear, Sir \u2018Charles Tupper, however, will not pre- send that, stern patriot as he is, he was meved as the French say by the beaux yeux of the Onderdonks.Accustomed as he is, in his own experience, to all the wiles, strategies, and macceavres of | oraiory, we can suppose still less that \u201c\u2018 soft eawder \u201d was the engine by which the Messrs.Onderdonks \u201c\u2018fetched him.\u201d Yet here is the grand supporter of the rule of Canada for the Canadians who deliberately signs away some millions of public mouey to people of that nation, with whom, in our individual and personal transactions, we are told that it is a loss, a scandal, and a sin for us to have any dealings.If we compare the millions going directly to this firm of California contractors with any profits which can be supposed to be cut off from the exporters of American goods, who have been stopped on their road to Canada, we rather think the Yankees will, after all, have shown themselves a gr:at deal too clever for Sir Charles, unless his views of our international relations are wholly unlike those of the other Knight, Sir Leonard Tilley.This is, however, a digression.It is certainly a wonderful illustration of the N.P.in action, bat whether the contract had gone to Canadians or Americans, æ very large aum of money would have been expended on a railway of less importancs, measured by any criteria than à drain of a quarter of a mile iong iu any considerable city.Inthe meantime, nothing is done to promote à work which would at oncs add to the prosperity of every one of the three millions and-:-half of people who reside in the older Provinces, with the exception, possibly, if there be an exception, of Prince Edward Island, Every one will understand at once that we refer to the connection between tbe Canadian systems of railways and the Sault Ste.Marie.We are not disposed to blame Sir Charles Tupper for what he has done, with the means at his disposal, arising from previous votes fur the coustruction of the Georgian Bay branch.If he do wha.we understand he professes to intend to do, he will carry out Mr.Mackenzie's intentions, in spirit, if not in letter, and, making allowances for the stress upon \u2018party Governments to overturn the plana of their predecessors, we do not feel called on to discuss the difference in \u2018value between one plan and another, But when all is done, wbich can be accomplished with this money, there will still be a laige gap between the terminus and the Sault, which might be filled with the money destined to this useless road in British Columbiaa somewhat singularfact that all parts of the country, but especially the two great Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, have expressed themselves with almost perfect unanimity, on the importance of this connection with the Sault.There can be no doubt that, for the first time in our railway history, it will place that territory, which will soon be the wheat field of the world, in connection with all Qanadian ports on shorter lines oË travel than will be re= quired te reach American ports.Can any sane man doubt where oar money should be put, if itis to be put where \u201cit will do most good ?\u201d Are three millions or three millions and-a-hal£ of people in the old Provinces, not only to spend vast sums for the sake of the three gr four thousand people at present residing on the Lower Fraser, but to do this at the expense of the grandest improvement of their own railway connections, which has ever yet been proposed ?We fear that this is the case and, in default of any power to help it, we suppose that we must pul it down as another illustration of the truth of the great Dane\u2019s ejaculation\u2014\u201c Oh, my son, \u201c\u2018 you see with how little wisdom the \u201c world is governed.\u201d NESTLE'S FOOD It has been said in praise of the wonderful mechanism of an elephants trunk that, while it can pull down a house, it can pick up a needle.Tha N.P.appears to possess some of this comprehensiveness.Ia the lagt little supplement we perceive that Nestle\u2019s foud is to pay thirty par cent.of duty.That means, of course, an addition ef about one-third to the necessary price.We wonder whether the great Sir Leonard, ex-apothecary as he is, is aware of the true bearing of this imposition P Nestle\u2019s food is a Swiss preparation of goat's milk.It is not like the brandies and champagnes from which he cuts off his revenue with the utmost complacency, as if Le were by so doing augmenting temperance, when in truth he is only driving drinkers to mischievous adul- terations.It is the food of children, and moreover of children who, unhappy enoagh to be deprived of natural nurture, must procure a substitute or perish Itis known very extensively that Neutle\u2019s food is for many young children the only substitute fur the natural nourishment, which they can eafely take.Wo believe there are hundreds of families in this and every other large city, who are able to testify to this fact \u2014who can speak of the lives of children saved by the use of this preparation, when there seemed no probability of their being saved otherwise.Now, it may be thought that, on such a material as this, the addition of a third, is a matter of small consequence.In some families, that is quite true; but all writers on economical suhjects have noted the cruelty of protection.What is a trifle in one family, hardiy worthy of notice, 13 iz another a most distressing tax, when laid upon an article of indispensable necessity.The time of bringing up a sick child is usually cne of manifold, though, for the wealthy, small, expenses, following upon other wnusual charges incident to its entrance on the world.Now, ws balieve, that the cost of this food, when first introduced, came to something like thirty cents a day, when fully - administered, or two dollars and ten cents a week, for it must be borns in mind that withoat great care there can be no keeping of the food once prepared for use, and the least souring couverts it from a wholesome diet into a deleterious poiscn.It mus! be admitted that an outlay of this extent for an infant is in many families a serious tax, seeing that babies are by no means allotted only to the well-to-do.There was always, we suppose, some duty on the food, but the additien of a third to its natural and necessary price is certainly a barbarous stroke of policy.If children born in Canada are not to be considered of less value than those emigrants for whem we pay so much, it seems hard to understand upon what principle any duty should be imposed on this first necessity in many infant lives.Such a duty is like that on quinine, which a few years ago prevailed in the United States.Quinine, as we all know, is the great remedy for fever and ague which prevails over vast tracts of the Southern States.But what did it matter to the three or four millionaires in Philadelphis, who had bought out all the other makers, that settlers in the west had to expend all their means in medicine, because the tariff shut out quinine at the natural price of the world?The tax on Nestle\u2019s food is just of a piece with the tax on quinine, and unless goats become much more numerous in Canada, we hardly think that the proper article can be supplied here, It is THE SITUATION.When Mr, Tilley made what is comm nly called his Budget speech be made No special reference to the \u2018\u201c hum.\u201d In a quarter of a century no man in the position of Finance Minister, in this country, ever offered such a miserable exhibit as that made by the hero of the National Policy.He did not dare to advance a single word calculated to show that any improvement had taken place in the commerce of the country, though be might have ventured to refer to two or three monopolies which the tariff of 1879 created, and where are tke believers in this n:w policy which was to make eyery man rich by buying everything cheaper and selling everythirg dearer?There are not half-a-dozen members in the House of Commons today not interested in the few monopolies, coining money at the expense of the people, who would dare assert that Sir John A.Macdonald\u2019s Government had restored the country to a condition of sommercial prosperity.From the very day that Mr.Mackenzie relinquished office the trada of the entire Bominion bas gradually become worse, and though we do not charge the party now in power directly with all theills we have anffered since that date, they, at least, should be held\u2019 responsible for the outrageous their power to ameiiorate a distress which we believed no G>vernment could control.What we are suffering from now is à thousand times worse\u2018than at any period during tbe darkest days of the Mackenzie Administration, and even with the \u201cboom\u201d in the United States, which has saved us from being just so mueb worse, the general aitua- tion is mot to be compared with the years 1878 and 1877.In fact, many of our ablest and most active commercial men have been legislated¥ out ef business, and if there are a few who can aay honestly that they are doing a fair trade, it simply arises ont of the cireumstanse\u201c that they are not subjected to the competition which had to be faced years ago.But wby should not the remaining commercial houses in thg leading ports of the country do more business, since so many have been obliged to retire?This is a question which we would like t he member for Montreal-Weat to answer in the House.To indulge in the generalism that every concern, which he (Mr, Gault) had stock in, had prospered, was not certainly saying much, though, in fact, there were no ground for the statement easily proved, because there are many Joint Stock Companies, in which our representative is a shareholder, in anything but a flattering position, and which nzed not be named here; let it bz understood, we have no reference to tke Banking Institution of which the honourable gentleman is President, If unbiased readers will take the market value of Bank shares on the.18th September, 1878, and that of any date this year, they will, find that the capital has been written down about $9,000,000, and that the discounts, which may always be accepted as a fair indication of the movements of commerce, have fallen in the twelve months past about $20,000,000.If Mr.Tilley dare, in his place in Parliament, de:lare, with these facts before him, that his policy is keeping trade and restoring confidence, he is a bolder quack than we have hitherto taken him for.{Tne following statement, which we give respecting notes and bills discounted by the banks doing business ia the Provinces of Qntario and Quebec, speaks volumes against the ill-advised policy of the present Government ;\u2014 1878.1879.January.«.$106,511,432 $106,501,591 February.107,232 758 107.563,717

to assist the Coalition, at least a fair measure may be ac.copted as trne.When all the circumstances are known-one would have supposed that having sold the gentlemen with whom he was acting in the late Provincial Administration, and having received the requisite number of pieces of silver, Mr.Chauveau would bave abstained from operating in the interest of any political party.The latest effort, however, on the part of the \u201c patriot \u201d Chauvean, was to induce Mr- Parent, the recently elecied member for Rimouski, to meet the leader of the Govérnmentand Mr.Cimon,another bird of the Chauveau stripe, with, of course, the object of making à political pirate of one who has been elected to oppose the present Administration.Whether the ex.Provincial Secretary succeeds in conducting this new profession may be questioned, but no doubt can be entertained that Mr.Chauveau would be better employed as a detective than a Police Magistrate, Mr.Parent\u2019s reputation is too good to be influenced by political traitors, and no matter what course he may take in the politics of the Province of Quebec, something more important than dining with Ministers will influence his votes in the Legistive Assembly.SUGAR AND MONTREAL, When the Hon.Mr.Mackenzie, in his place in Parliament, exposed the effect of the change in the sugar duties, the whole story was not told, if the late Premier was correctly.reported.It is true that the imports at Montreal wera larger in quantity, because they were composed mostly of raw for refining purposes\u2014the entire Dominion being now served from the refineries here.Under the Mackenzie Administration the general grocery and wine merchants could deal in sugars as in any other commodity, and the tariff was s> framed that refiners and importers had a fair field, and the not least interested party, the consumer, was affirded any benefit arising out of legitimate competition.Now the general merchant dare not Venture to bring a cargo of refined from Greenock or elsewhere, or a choice parcel of raw, suitable for our trade.Therefore, while the figures quoted by Mr.Mackenzie represented an | apparently larger business in Montreal, about 100 merchants have been, by the policy of Sir Samuel, saved the trouble and anxiety of handling sugar.It would statements that were made in regard to | these big questions from a wrong stand- voint, to hear from Ontario and the Lower Provinces.We are mostanxious to feel the wave of prosperity, and can stand a good deal cf it, but wbile every \u2018 Province in the \u2018Dominion is suffering, and that suffering is intensified by bad legislation, thers can be no harm in exposing the fraud of September, 1878.ADJOURNMENT OF TRE Housm or Commons\u2014The House of Commons having been adjourned over

Labarian of the Parliament of Ontaric.treats oh à very important constitutional question, and treats it ably and exhaustively.\u2018The respective powers of the Dominion and Local Parliaments ; the similarities and dissimilarities betwe:n them ; the distinctive features of each, and the points wherein they differ from the Imperial Parliament, are all carefully discussed ; and the history cf the subject accurately traced.Whatever opinions the author may hold, he supports by liberal quotations from royal Dr:clamatioas, minules of Privy Councils, enactments of Parliaments, and decisions of Courts.If anyone bas the idea that a Local Legislature is little more than a big Muncipal Council, he will fiad his mistake by read- Ing this work.Mr Watson is a firm believer in the importance and dignity of Local Parliaments, and he shows how they are the real possessors of all rights and privileges pertaining to any Colonial Legislature under the British Government.The Provinces are not carved out of the Dominion, but the Dominion is made up of the union of the Provinces of their own free will.The doctrine of \u2018 State rights\u201d across the lines would, we are inclined to think, have found a strong advocate in Mr.Watson had he be- le:sged to the Republic.The clamour for a strong centralzed Government, some- says \u201c Itis only weak minds, and men cast in a servile mould, who cry out for strong Governments.The political or social sybarite, shrinking from the performance of the enobling duties of free citizenship, and afraid of its manly struggles, longs for the dishonourable ease and personal irresponsiblity cf a despotism.Such a despotism can be found in a Federal Government as well as in the rule of an autocrat.Under whatever form or name it may be exercised, the power which is unquestioted and unchallenged is but anothér name for tyranny.\u201d\u2019\u2014London Advertiser, Feb.20, 1880.OTTAWA CORRESPOADENGE TEACHING THE INDIANS

following are additional speeches delivered on the occasion of the motion to adjourn out of respect to Mr.Holton :\u2014 Hon.Mr.LanGevim\u2014Sir, I cannot allow this occasion to pass without raising my voice, in the language which the lamented member for Chateauguay spoke so Well, to give expression to the deep regret and sorrow which are felt by the French Canadians of Quebec at the death of our regretted confrere.Mr.Holton was for ever a quarter of a century a member of Parliament, and during that period I hal the satisfaction of occupying a seat in Parliament with him.Throughout his political career, though at times party strife prevailed to an intense degree, the hon.member never treated questions in euch a manner as to be unable to meet his adversaries the next moment and give them a cordial grasp of the hand.Not only is his death a great loss to the House and to his party, bus it is also a considerable loss to the Province of Quebec.Altheugh the hon.gentleman did not belong to our \u201cpolitical party, we, the French-Canadian Conservatives, claimed him in & great measure as one of ourselves, as a man who did honour to the Province of Quebec.For my part! cannot but concur in all that the hon.deader of the Government has so well expressed, We feelnot oniy great pain in for Chateauguay, but also that while the blow was a terrible one, both in its suddenness and Lhe great void it has created, it ought to be a warning to those among us who have passed 50 years of age, that our turn will soon come, and it will be well for us if we merit the general testimony.of esteem and regard which encircles the memory of our regretted friend, , Mr.BECHARD said he could not allow the motion to pass before paying personally a last tribute to the memory of the most distinguished man of the Dominion.Strongly attached to his political principles, the regretted member for Chateauguay was zealous in their exposition and in endeavouring to secure their acceptano®; yet, although indefatigable in the interests of his party, his course was never marked by acerbity, but his urbanity, winning frankness and whole.souled- ness endeared him to his adversaries, while they caused him to be fairly loved by his friends.After twenty-six years of a public career, be had not a single enemy.The country had lost a distinguished patriot, and oue who, as an authority on the rules of our Constitution, and as a member ever ready and able by his interposition to prevent unnecessary debating, and soften the aeperity of heated argument, was unequalled in both branches of the Legislature.Mr.PLums\u2014I feel that every private member of this House has sustained a great loss, a calamity which is sufficient excuse for one to join in the expression of mourning and eulogium™ upon him who has departed.It seems to me but à few hours ago since the gentleman'to whose death we are now referring was in possession of his full vigour and attending to his parliamentary duties, in which he displayed a strictness and an exceptional fidelity which are an example to every hon.member ; it is but a fow hours ago since I sat with him upon the Committee of Banking and Commerce, where he brought as he always did the resources of a wellstraived mind and a judgment which was eminently Conservative.I had a very long conversation with him just previous to the meeting of the Committee, in which he referred to Sir Geo.Cartier and to some of the passages of their public life together.I saw him in the full possession of his health and no one could have told at that moment that he would not long remain an honour to this House \u2018and to the country, and one of the most useful :nembers who ever sat on any public deliberative body in Canada.When he parted with bis friends op Saturday night, no epe knew that the impending shadew was upon him, and that in an hour or two he would go over to that great majority to which we are all sooner or later to be joined, I have lost in him a kind apd generous friend, one with whom I have enjoyed most intimate social relations ever singe I have occupied a seat in Parliament, one from whom I have received kindly advice, great information and instruction, and in whose society I always found enjoyment and pleasure.He had on account of his extensive reading à wide knowledge of literature, particularly of that period which je most interesting to us who are forming our constitution\u2014l mean the period during which took place the struggle for parliamentary government during the reign of Charles I, culminating in the great events which brought about eventually parliamentary liberty.In that respect hehad a special knowledge, in that he had, by the great ability with which he grasped public subjects, been able to form opinions Wbich were always vyaluable, and which will constantly be quoted in this House and elsewhere, He had also a knowledge of parliamentary practice, his tory and preeedent, and he had a mind which, by means of his retentive memory, was capable of subordinating principles to circumstances, and forming, through his clear, impartial judgment, an eminently just conclusion.I met him late in his parliamentary life, and whatever may have been hjs previous habits, he had sunk very much the controyersial feeling in the judicig) feeling.What he did here was eminently ip that direction.We on wie aide of the House feel what we have lost in him\u2014one who can scarcely be replaced, from the large, broad and accomplished manger ip which he has dealt with the subjects conetantly coming pp.We know that in certain lines of legislation there was not a man to whem we could more safely appeal, and we feel that in every way Canada has sustained a Joss which is irreparable.To his friends on the opposite side of this Houce I may say this ie à time when we all can meet together in common sympathy.We fully appreciate the feeling with which they must have taken their seats to-day, and have seen that vagant chair.To the country we may say, from this place where we knew bim best and could best appreciate him,.a loss has fallen that is almost incalculable, But there is a deeper aflegtion still, and one which I will not venture fo touch upon, for I will not pass the sacred threshold where private griefs are hidden from the public eye, but T may say this, that no man within my knowledge so wore \u2018\u2018the white flower of a blameless life,\u201d ard perhaps tnere is scarcely any man among 4s who might be suddenly called to make up the great record, who will find so few pages he would have to blot out as L.H.Holton.Mr, Tasse desired to add his humble tribute of respect to that which had been so eloquently tendered by the hon.gentleman who had preceded him tothe memory of their late and lamented colleague.If there was -one quality which formed a trait in the deceased gentleman\u2019s character more than another, which was especially the attribute of a lovable disposition, it was affection for youth, Towards younger members of the House he always manifested a kind interest, irrespective of litical opinions.It was in obedience to the sentiment of personal gratitude that he (Mr, Tasse) added his tribute to the memory of the member for Chateauguay in that language which was not Without its charm to the regretied geutleman.The spectacle we bad witnessed, though a painful and touching one, was not the less admirable.Into the tomb which opened for the late Mr.Holton fell the tears, mot only of those whose lives had throughout mingled in harmony with his, but also of those who had been his political adversaries for over twenty-five years.In his death the Liberal party suffered a great loss, and the House begame deprived of one of its most useful members, THE LATE MR, HOLTON.THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS \u2014V(TE§ OF CINDOLENCE.The arrangements for thé funeral of the late Hon.Mr.Holton are now completed.It was intended that the funeral services should have taken place ia the Church of the Messiah, but, in cousequence ef the numberof visitors expected from outside laces, and the great interest taken in the Foneyal by the citizens, it has been determined that the peremony shall be held in the American Presbyterian Church, Last evening a large number of friends came down from Ottawa, and this morning a special train will be despatched from hearing of the death of the hon.member / there by tbe Q.M., O.& O.line, and favcurable arrangements have been made for the convenienc » of

and La BANQUE NATIONALE (plaintiffs below), re- spondents\u2014The appellants raised the question that a promissory note for $2,000, made by them in their corporate capacity, and signed by the President and Secretary Treasurer, was illegal, Cross, J., was of opinion that the appellants had been rightly condemned to pay the amount of the note.This Court had already held, in the case of Cerporation of Grantham and Couture, that a Corporation will be held liable in an action on such note, where it is not alleged that the note was given fraudulently, or with- outany legal consideration.The motion made to be allowed to affix double stamps would be granted, the failureto cancel the stamps on the note being a mere error, and the reveaue not being injured in any way.Judgment confirmed.UNITED PROTESTANT WORKINGMEN'S BENEFIT SOCIETY.FOURTEENTH ANNUAL MEETING.The fourteenth annual meeting of the above Society was held last evening in Perry\u2019s Union Hall, Craig street, the President, Mr.John Doyle, in the chair, supported on his right and left by the Vice-Presidents, Messrs.Christopher Sonne aud Joshua Ward, together with the Medical Officer of the Society, Dr.John T.Finnie.The RECORDING SECRETARY read the minutes of last annual meeting, which were coufirmed, MEDIGAL OFFICER\u2019S REPORT.Dr.JouN T, FINNIE read his eighth annual report as follows :\u2014 To the President, Officers and Members of the United Protestant Workingmen's Benefit Society.GENTLEMEN,\u2014With this meeting to-night will close another year of the Society\u2019s career, being the fourteenth since it was instituted ; and although the sick list and death-rate have not been as fow as might be wished for, yet it is my pleasing \u2018duty to have to report a very considerable reduction 1a both during the past year.Five last anaual meeting.The causes of death being as follows : Ulcer of the stomach, 1; consumption, 1; apeplexy, 1; traumatic apoplexy, 1; inflammation of lungs, 1; all the deaths occurring among members who had been connected with the Society almost since its formation.In comparing the number of deaths with preceding.years, I find that it is less than we have had since 1875.Last year we lost eight members by death, and the year before eleven.Durivg the year four members\u2019 wives died, the causes of death being as follows :\u2014Consumption, 3; cancer of liver, 1; being one in excess of last year, and the same number the year preceding.Twenty-eigh! candidates passed the necessary medical examination to become members of the Society, being an increase of five on last year, but very much less than preceding years.No doubt this dearth in the number of members is largely due to the continued depression in business, and to the increase, of late years, of Benefit Societies having much the same objects in view as our own.During the year ninety-four members were attended at their homes for periods less than a week, and consequently were not recipients of benefits other than my services and medicines.The average number of week\u2019s benefit granted to members during the year was twenty-six weeks, bein} a-decrease on last year of twenty- five per cent., and on the preceding year of fifty per cent.Of those who were on the sick list during the year a large number were disabled through accidents of various kinds consequent upon the various trades, Of the numerous diseases from which the members have suffered, bronchitis, diarrhœa, rheumatism and dyspepsia, have been the principal causes of disability.During the year some hundreds received advice and medicines at my office.While it is gratifying to know that there has been a very considerable decrease in the amount of sickness, and aleo in the number of deaths, yet I look forward to à still lower amount of sickness, as I believe, causes and influences have been at work for & year or two past that are not likely to continue.I regret the falling ott of new members, as I look upon the continued addition of young members as the hope and mainstay of our future ; and would urge ugon each of you to do your utmost towards bringing candidates in, using discretion always in urging any ome to join, The members were removed by death since our.of the city.On motion the amended by-law of last year was continued for another year, namely fifty cents per month.The following officers were elected for next year :\u2014President, Mr.John Doyle, re-elected ; Vice-Presidents,Mr.Christopher Sonne and Mr.Ward; Physician, Dr.Jobn T.Finnie, re-elected ; Treasurer, Mr.Richard Seale, re-elected ; Rec.Secretary, Mr.W.J.Butterworth ; Fin.Secretary, Mr.Samuel Gray, re-elected ; Trustees, Messrs.Francis McCulloch, William Cowie, Thomas Imrie, R.H.Brown, and John Cunningham.The election of Stewards for the various wards was left over.THE BUDGET.CONCLUSION OF MR.MACKENZIE'S CRITICISM.Mr.MACKENZIE\u2014The bon.gertle- man opposite was obliged to send Sir Alexander Galt to Belfast to apologize for his policy, and to make a speech there which the bon.gentieman didn\u2019t feel capable, or willing, to make himself.Sir L.TILLEY\u2014I was on the Atlantic.Mr.MACKENZIE -Yes, but you were there before you went on the Atlantic, and knew that these people wished to see you.{Hear, bear.) Admitting, however, that tne hou.gentleman did right under the circumstances, I oan only say it is an exceedingly inconvenient arramgement to have a Financ> Minister who doesn\u2019t occupy a seat\u2019in either bench of the Logislature.(Hear, hear.) How did the hon.gentlemau manage to make up his calcu lat.ons a3 to the revenue for the year is something I am now unable to perceive.He admits that while the revenue from July, 1877, to the first of Marc-, 1878, was $15 032,742, that for the same period in 1879-80 was only $14,083,534.Yet he ex: pects to bring up the revenue to the figure he mentions, If we apply the same principles of calculation that are applied elsewhere as to the remaining part of the year we would only have reason to expect an additional revenue of something over six millione.And eupposing we add a million to that for the purpose of making up for what .EXTRAORDINARY IMPORTATIONS might take place under the peculiar circumstances, and we would have a total revenue, calculated by the hon.gentleman\u2019s own figures, of a little over twenty-one millions.The member for Cumberland laid great stress upon the fact that there had been geveral deficits, and he lectured my hon.friend beside me (Sir Richard Cartwright) as being a king of deficits.He disoussed that subject as though there was something disreputable in having a deficit.Now, sir, if there was a deficit, it was simply because the Government wereunwilling to impose additional taxation, during a time of deep depression of trade.But notwithatanding that depression, had values not fallen as they did there would have been no deficite.(Hear, bear.) It was therefore clearly right that we should calculate to some exten\u2019 upon the reanimation of trade, upon realizing better prices in future, and upon the natural rebound of the revenue.Under these circumstances it was right that we should not look upon a deficit as an insurmountable evil, Because, sir, the money has to be provided in some way, and the only question that can pessibly arise is this :\u2014 Is it better for the Government to impose additional taxation than to leave that amount to be an additional charge against the country in another shape?The country bas to pay it in either case, and while I agree as a general principle that in the normal state of trade THERE 8HOULD BE NO DEFICIT, but a superabundant revenue, I can only say that under the circumstances we adopted the bast course bat could be adopted.But the hon.gentleman was not content with denouncing the general existence of the deficit, although there was a gentle~ man sitting not far from him who had deficits amounting to twice the ameunt of our deficits during the few Years he was in power before 1862.He ought, therefore, to have been more moderate in his denunciations of my friend.\u201d They instituted the policy of allowing deficits to occur when there was no depression of trade and no prospect of meeting them.We pursued the contrary policy, and if any Government was justified in allowing deficits to exist for a few years we were.But the hon.gentleman was not content with denouncing the existence of deficits as a political, if not a moral, wrong.He also grossly overstated the amount.I quite admit-that it was not more overstated than things usually are by the, mem! er for Cumberland.(Hear, hear, and laughter.) We look for such overstatements from the hon.gentleman.He is always in excese of his figures.For instance, he stated the other night that 1 eame into office with a majority of ninety at my back, which the hon.gentleman must have known was not the case.Now the bon.gentleman states that our deficits reached from eight tonine millions.Now, I will read to the House the exact statement of THE DEFICITS AS THEY OCCURRED.In 1875 there was a surplus of $976,644 ; in 1875-76 a deficit of $1,900,795; in 1876- 77 a deficit of $1,450,027; in 1877-78 a deficit of $1,128,147 ; and in 1878-79a deficit of $1,937,999.Although I include this last year, because we prepared the estimates for that year, hon.gentlemen opposite introduced a very large expenditure, for which we were not at all responsible.But even if we assume the responsibility for all that expenditure our entire deficits amounted to $6,426,968.But we have to deduct the surplus of 1874-75, which leaves a net deficit of $5,491,324.From this again we have to deduct the amount which, during that time, we paid _for the extinction of ihe debt, although 1t is invested otherwise at present.In other words, we paid into the sinking fund $4,- 090,064, which left our entire deficit for the period that we were in office, including the first half of the last year, $1,401,260, while the hon.gentleman made it out in his extraordinary speech to be between eight and nine millions.(Cheers.) Now, sir, when I am on the subject of finance let me deal with another subject.In the earlier part of my remarks I said that while we were able to keep our expenditure during our term of office down to a point very little higher than the amount of the last year for which the hon, gentlemen opposite tovk the estimates, that is 1878-4, there were other expenditures forced upen us by no policy cf our own which we were entitled to deduct, and I may say generally that WE KEPT WITHIN THE ESTIMATE of the Finance Minister of 1873-4 in our expenditure for that year.(Hear, hear.) We spent $560,000, if I recollect rightly, less than the hon.gentlemen estimated for.(Hear, hear.) But, sir, in the last year for which we took estimates, 1878.9, when we were in office three and-a-half months, they not osly did not keep within the limits of our estimates, but they expended a little over half a million more than our estimates covered.(Hear, hear.) And yet we are charged with that half million, as well as some other payments for which we kave no responsibility whatever.(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Now | propose to giÿe come exact figures of certain services which were performed by us which the Government preceding us did net pertorm, and which we reasonably must deduct from our total expenditure when comparing it with the expenditure of hon.gentlemen opposite in the years 1873-4.We paid in 1874-5 in increases over the previous years in interest on the death and subsidies to the Provinces $868,- 938 ; in 1875-6 we paid $866 561 ; in 1876- 7, $1, 223,538 ; in 1877-8, $1,393,725 ; and last year, for which I do mot assume responsibility or take any credit, $1,696,843.Under the Weight and Measures Act, under which gentlemen opposite prior to 1874 paid nothing, ve paid in 1874-5, $69,- 969 ; in 1875 6 $96,785, in 1876-7, $111,- 085, and in 1877-8, $95,484.For the NORTH-WEST MOUNTED POLICE, a gervieo prov.ded for and party organized by the previous Administration, we had to expend in excess of their expenditure in 1874-5, $138,984; in 1875-6, $169,919; in 1876-7, $163,140 ; and in 1877-8, $135,149.We had also to pay for the extinguishment of Indian titles in the North-West in excess of the hon.gentlemen opposite ia 1874-5, $49,422 ; in 1876.6, $180,307; in these « xpenditures for the administration of justice can we be held responsible in any shape, except that for the Supreme Court, and the responsibility for that is shared by hon.gentlemen opposite.Then, sir, no paymentsÿwere made by hon.gentlemen opposite before we came into office on aceount of Prince Edward Island.We knew from the official statement that the expendi*ures connected with that Province amount to about $800,000 a year.Of that about $370,000 composes the subsidy to the Proviuce, and the interest upon the amount of debt allotted under the terms of the union to the Dominion.I therefore calculate half, or $400,000, as the amount which it was imposed upon us to provide in addition to the subsidy and debt.Then we had additional expenditure upon the Intercolonial Railway over the last year of hon.gentlemen opposite, in 1876-7, wben the main line was completed, of $360,124, and in 1877-8 of $509,724.Wall, sir, the net resultis this, that we paid of such items a8 were never paid by hon.gentlemen opposite at all in 1874-5, $1,620 843 ; in 1875-6 $1 811,322; in 1876-7, $2,571,044, and in 1877.8, $2,977,622.(Hear, hear, and cheers.) I omic from this altogether some special itema for which WE MIGHT FAIRLY TAKE CREDIT, We had to meet the entire expenditure of the liabilities at Philadelphia, we had to meet the entire expenditure at Sidney, and we had to meet a very large portion of the ex.enditure of the Exhibition at Paris.We had also to meet a very large expenditure connected with the Boundary survey in the West.Besides all these there is a sum of $13,000 for the organization cf the North-West Territories, which I have not included.I have in fact omitted a very large number of items which I fairly might include, and which would swell the total amount by two or three humired thousand dollurs.(Hear, hear.) But wishing, sir, contrary to the practice of the hon, member for Cumberland, to speak with such accuracy as cannot be impugned, I have made up the statement as I have now read it to the House.Now, sir, what would be the net result of those figures?They show that we spent, as I have said, $563,- 000 less than the estimates of the Finance Minister in 1873.The estimates on that occasion amounted to $28,816,316.That included one considerable item of expenditure on the Intercolonial Railway which the hon.member for Cumberland will remember he condemned us for charging to revenue instead of to capital account.Had we 50 charged it our expenditure would have been something like A MILLION UNDER THE ESTIMATES.Making deductions which faust be made if a fair comparison wae to be made, the expenditure in 1874-56 was $22,092,228; in 1875-6, $22,677,050; ia 1876-7, $20,948,257; in 1877-8, $20,625 530; in 1878-9, $20,898,- 470.This last was based, on the supposi- 4 tion that we were reaponsible for the Estimates for that year, a responsibility which I admit so far as the first Estimates were concerned, but no: with regard to the supplementary Estimates last year.I think I can fairly appeal tc the House if I have not sbown most conclusively that our Administration, initead of being charged, as they have been, with exirava- gauce, were entitled to the praise and confidence of the House ani country for the economy they exercised in the discharge of their public duties.I have said nothing about the unavoidable increases, such as the Civil Service extension, made neces sary by the addition of another Province to the Dominion, the sulary of the Lieu.tenant-Governor of the North-West, payments to his Council, ard expenditures of a public character in the territory of Keewatin.I have not taken notice of many things I might fairly have mentioned, because I desire only to refer to such matters as are indisputable.While speaking on the tariff I omitted to mention one point, and though it is somewhat out of my line of argument, with the permission of the House I will deal with it now.ONE OF THE PRETENCES of hon.gentlemen opposite in advocating the National Policy was that it would benefit the farmer.It was alleged that because the Uuited States imposed certain duties upon our grain we should meet them with a counter duty, or, as the hon.member for Cumberland said, we should adopt the sincerest form of fluitery by following their example.(Hear.) That the Government did so we know.Except under urgent circumstances or for particular reasons, no grain coming into this country paid duty on account of the tariff.This measure, of course, had not the effect of increasing prices, for we know that the prico of wheat was relatively higher in Chicago and other western cities under the regime of hon.gentlemen opposite since the introduction of the tariff than before we had any duty upon foreign wheat.Bat while they were willing 0 make pretences to farmers of assisting them and meeting their views, hon.gentlemen opposite decided that it was neeessary to impose a duty on some articles that might put money into their pockets, They have im~ posed the heaviest duties upon the poorest articles of woollen cloth, that made the poor man pay ten timé& as much as the rich man, inasmuch as the sçpeeific duty upon the finest cloths was the same as upon the poorest.They endeavoured in that way to give protection to the woollen manufacturers, ard the decrease in the quantity of woollen goods brought into the country since then shows how effectually that protection has been used.But now, driven by the complaints of hundreds of thousands of the honest yeomanry, who feel they have been SOLD AND IMPOSED UPON BY SPECIOUS PROMISES \u2014 (cheers)\u2014hon.gentlemen opposite have decided that something must be done, and they have imposed a duty of three cents per pound on wool of Cotawold, Leicester and Lincoln sheep.I can hardly believe that the hon.Finance Minister does not know there is not a pound of these wools imported into Canada.(Cheers and laughter.) In order that there may be no mistake abous it, I will read extracts from some letters I bave received.One gentleman, who is probably the largest dealer in wool in the Dominion, says : \u2014 \u2018I see by this merning\u2019s Glebe that Sir Leonard, in his Budget Speech, proposes to put a duty on wool of 3c per pound on combing wools of Leicester, Cotswold and Lincoinshire sheep.Mr.Filley wiil not get one dollar of revenue from this source, as we do not impor.one pound of this class of combing wool into this country, and we are not likely to do so, a> we have no machinery to manufacture the class of goods this type of wool is most suitable for, and we can buy wools {rom other countries at a great deal less, and more sulted to onr trade.This isa transparent frayd on farmers, and will be of no benelüt to them or injury to our woollen manufacturers.The price of thls ciass of wool is determined in England, which 1s our on y competitor, for she produces over 1vv,0 u,00u 1bs., and we produce about 8,un 00 19s.I have been in the usiness for twenty years, and have only been able to ship this type of wool to England tliere tmos.Our market has always been the United States.I bought and sold 1,307,000 1bs.of wool in 1879, of which 900,0 0 1bs, went to the States, and tne balance was used in Canada.I will be glad to hear [rom you on this wool question, because I am interested.\u201d Another letter from a manufacturer is as follows :\u2014 ¢1 see in the Montreal HERAID this day that the Government intend putiing a duty of three cents per pound on Leicester, Lincoln and Cotswold Wools by way of p.easing the farmers ; but it will not benefit them one cent., as this class of wi asa rule, are worth more generally than Canadian wools are here, and consequently are not likeiy to be largely imported.But there are woolsimported of the long sample coarse hair which do not compete wiih Canadian in the mauufacture of carpets, blankets, flannels, ana coarse tweeds, and grey cloths, knitting yarns, &.The wools I refer ts are East India, China, Egyptian, Russian, Italian, Turkey, and in any other kinds of coarse German and other continental woois which are now used ln Canada .n the manufacture of blanket: and other heavy wools.If1it 1s really 1 ecessury for us to be protected, the farm.r should have a share of it, and not such an imaginary portiun as the proposed duty will be.\u201d These letters go to show tha: the Finance Minister does not know precisely what he ie talking about.(Cheers and lgughter.) I was surprised\u2014well, no,1 was not surprised\u2014 (renewed laughter)\u2014I was somewhat interested to bear the hon.member for Cumberland denounce the efforts made by the late Administration in 1874 TO OBTAIN RECIPROGAL TRADE with the United States.He represented the plenipotentiary accredited by Her, Majesty's Government at our instance as going down on his kaces to the Yankees und telling them that we had nothing more we could give thew, ag all hud been given away.No doubt be had a feeling rec lection of what was given away in 1871 by his present leader.(Cheers.) He was right is saying that nearly all we had had been given away, but not by us.We million dollars spent 1a defending this country from marauders from the United States.(Cheers.) No country ever was 80 humiliated as Canada was by the hon.gentleman\u2019s leader unless it was E gland in concurring in the decisions of the Convention.The hon.gentleman was right in saying that everything was given away.(Renewed cheering.) We gave away the free navigation of the St.Lawrence for ever in return for the right to navigate the Yuean and Stickeen rivers, at Alaska, thcugh the hon.gentleman was probably not before aware that wealready possessed this right.We secured permission also to navigate a canal in our own territory at St.Clair Flats.(Laughter.) If there had been anything else to give away it would bave been given away by the craven abject policy pursued in Washington in 1871.(Loud cheering.) Ths hon.gentleman sneered at our plenipotentiary, and spoke of the expense of the negotiations.Our plenipotentiary NEVER CHARGED THE GOVERNMENT ONE CENT for his services ; yet under the hon.gentleman opposite an abortive mission to France and Spain has already cost the country $12,000, without one iota of result, good, bad, or indifferent.The hon.gentlemen opposite have bought up a Senator who charged his political views and went over to the other side of the Atlantic, Leing paid $1,500 to do something in Parie, while $12,- 000 was being paid to Sir Alexander Galt for the saine purpose.These figures appear in the Pablic Accounts, and show as transparent a bribe as was ever offered to a public man.Yet we are lectured on this side of the House becauss we did not suc- ce:d in & praisewerthy effort at Washington to obtain the saws terms of equality in our trade with the United States.Hongentlemen opposite 8sem to think it is a grand thing to revile us\u2014that is a grand priuciple of political action to appiy the lex tationis.We know that it is inevitable that this country should associate with the United States in trade relations, and we cannot avoid it.We are side by side with them for thousands of miles.They are the same people as ourselves.\u2018they are a British country.Although they have a different system of Government that is no reason why we should not cultivate the closest trade relations with poem.(Hear, hear.) We expect them to 9 OUR MOST PROFITABLE CUST)MERS next to Great Britain, and anything that tends to injare the prospects of our trade with that country is a fatal stab at our own prosperity.(Hear, hear.) But we find that during the recess Ministers were guilty of the indiscretion of boasting of what they were doing against that country, and the other night the member for Cumberland boasted in his own pecaliar style that we now had the United S:ates at our feet, that now four millions of people could dictate terms to fifty millions, that now we were taking matters into our own hands, that tke United States would see that we were bound to have a policy of protection, that we determined to keep Canada for the Canadians, that the United States could come to us and solicit at our hands a portion of the good things wa have to offer, Nothing could be more ridiculous, nothing more absurd.We can discuss these mote ters with the peeple of the United States in a reasonable, sensible way.I hope we nizy be able to see again, as we have in the past, that the prosperity of both countries can be considerad together, and that while we are -regolved to retain our own political system and relations, we may still be desirous to maintain friendly trade ie~ lations with that great country.(Hear, hear.) By following such a course as that, we may be ably to achieve something with them, bat if we persist In maintaining a defiant and offensive position towards them, we shall only * LEND ADDITIONAL §TRENGTH to the arms of those in the United States who are opposed to our (x'stence bere as a separate nauonality.We are only doirg an injury to our own country in attempiæ ing to retaliate against a people twelve tims ag strong as we are.(Hear, hear.) When we were in office we found \u201chat the malt-trade between Canada and the United States was a profi'able one, and we found that the nominal duty under the old tariff \u2014for it was never realized\u2014was looked upon by the p:ople of the United States as intended to exclude their products from this country.Hor.gentlemen oppcsite took off the excise duty we had on malt, and reimposed two cents .per pound on malt coming from abroad.The result of that is this, that in the United States Legislature at present they have taken up the challenge to retaliate, and have imposed such .a duty on malt going into that country as will ranke it impossible for Canadiau maltsters long to continue that trade, and this actiom is caused by the mischieyous meddling of hon.gentlemen opposite with matters which they de not understand.(Hear, hear.) They pretend to have AN UNLIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRADE, but, sir, the very tariff resolations which they introduced last year were borrowed, with everything attached to them, from the United States tariff.(Hoar hear.) And all will remember thai some of the rags of the United States bung around them after they were brought :n.Words which were only applicable to Washington we found printed in the resolutions which were placed on our desks\u2014 (Hear, hear, and laughter)\u2014showing that the hon.gentleman, while he was determined to have a protective tariff, did not know exactly what he meant, and so had to \u201c look to Washington\u201d for a model.(Hear, hear, ard laughter.) he Minister of Railways said the other evening that such was the brilliancy of our prospects as Canadians, such wus the prosperity which had dawned on tuis country, that-\u2014and 1 am quoting the hon.genileman\u2019s own words\u2014 \u2018\u2018 people were ever since rushing into Canada to partake of the benefits of this policy.\u201d (Laughter) * Rushing into the country !\u201d Why, sir, there bas been a steady rush out of Canada ever sinc@ their National Policy went into operation.(Hear, hear) The Minister of Finance acknowledged honestly in the House the other night that thousands of people have left St.John for the United States, and the only excuse the hon gentic- man gave was that they cime into New Bruaswick because there was employment to be had in 1876-77, and they lett in 1880 because No EMPLOYMENT WAS TO BH HAD.That is precisely what we say ; that is exactly the ground we take.(Hea¥, hear) Under the late Government work was, generally speaking, never in the dark period so scarce as now.Lut the moment the stamp of the wicked policy of hom, gentlemen opposite was set on the ccun- try-\u2014the mask of the beast, some one near me suggests\u2014(laughter)\u2014the moment the trail of the serpent was seen on the land, that moment the peopls began to move.I mentioned in the House the official statement made by the Uuited S:ates Consul at Sarnia that during this last season no fewer than 23,000 Canadians croased the river at that point to settle in the United States, and 1 Lave no doubt but there has been a similar exodus from New Byunewick and Nova Scotia.Sir L.TILLEY \u2014The Americans should not be annoyed at our policy in that case.Mr.MACKENZIE\u2014So far as acquiring a desirable \u2018population they should not, Let they cam afford to take the population and retaliatory policy of the Government.But, sir, the hon.gentleman opposite let us into a secret the other night.Hoa told us that the leader of the Government had approached Earl Beaconsfield and had ge- cured the services of that distinguished gentleman as a Canadian immigration agent.There was to be seen on that occasion .ONB ON THE MOST PITIABLE EXHIBITING that ever was taken part in by a British Premier.[ was sorry that any demented Canadian should have had an epportuaity of reaching his ear and thus making bim responsiole for the preposterous s'atsment which be made in a speech shortly afte:- wards, I bad been under the impression that it was some vagrant Canadian who bad thus imposed upon the credulity of the Premier of Great Britain; but when I came to know the other night that it was the Prime Minister of Canada who had in- atilled such nonsense into his mind I was more than astonished, and I trust that no Canadian, whether Prime Minister or com _ moner, or & private citizen, will eve and at the same tima resent the intolerant | shall pever consent to a policy which, while raising some revenue for the State, imposes eight or ten times that amount in tuxes wbion are to be paid over.to a few favoured individaale.(Hear, hear.) It is said we are hostile to t.e manufacturers.How are we hostile to that class?We believe that the revenue tariff which was in (xistenca in our time gave very consi- durable protection to the manufacturers.It was caly an incidenial protection, and whatever may be in a name it was à protection neverthe'ess, because it gava every manufacturer in the country 17} cents on the dollar more than he would be entitled to were there trade free between this und foreign conntrice.We took steps at the various Exhibitions in the South Saas, in Europe, and in the Uni'ed States to have OUR MANUFACTVRERZ PRGPERLY REPRE~ SENTED.We took every step to advertise in a legitimate way the products of our maau- facturers, and the natural result was that these efforts were beginning te produce fruit.A very considerable amount of our manufactured goods were sect to Germany shd France, some to the Cape of Good Hope, 8 me to Australian colonies, and some to New Zealand \u2014and all by the eff r s of the Administration te make our manufactures known.It is said that hon.gentlemen opposite were peculisrly kind In uffording protection to abip-buildere, and two Ministere, the member for Cumberland and the member for St.John, are taking special credit to themselves in this matter.The former attacked the late Administration in 1874 because we were imposing unusual burdens on the shipbuilders.And what has happened vader the new system ?The ship-building interest was never so depre.sed.The shipyards of Quebec are quiet, and there are thousands of idle men in that city who formerly found considerable employment.I saw two ship-builders from that city today, who told me that the city was never in such a state, partly from the failure of the ship-buiiding, from tbe tanff, and partly from tha failure of workingmen to obtain the labour which had been promised them by the present Ministry.The Minister of Finance said, in reply to some remarks of mine with regard to his own Province, that I was mistaken, that there was A LARGE AMOUNT OF MANUFACTURING DONE THERE.I have no special intimacy with that Province, and I shall leave some of the mem- bere from New Brunswick to deal with that question ; but what I said was this, that the Finance Minister in endeavouring to account for the probable danger to his Province of the legislation here pointed out to them over and over again that they would become a great manufacturing centre and senl their goods to the far West.What I said was that, while there was no doubt of the in:elligence and enterprise of the people of New Brunswick, I danied that they bad any special facilities which would enable them to cope with a people a thousand miles away.What I said then, and what I say now, is that there are no such special advantages to be obtained in New Brunswick, and the hon.gentleman failed to wake the peeple of his Province believe that he could effect an impossibility.Indeed.the hou, geatle- man admitted that there was less working- people now in his constituency than there were some years ago.(Hear, hear.) His manner of accounting for the fact I leave to the dispogal of hon.gentlemen from hia own Province.Qur policy as a party towards the manufacturers there and elsewhere was simply that no oliss of the community should ke placed upon a foot- iug inferior to thut possessed by any cther class, and if manufacturers obtaiced undue preponderance in the way of protection we thought that the result would be INJURIOUÉ TO ALL OTHER CLASSES, that it would esp-cially be injurious to farmers and mechanics, and, in a minor degree, to labourers; that the money which went to make millionaires of a fow would have to be extorted from the people who earn the resl wealth of the country by their hard labour.(Hear, bear.) The bon.member for Cumberland stated, sir, in the most pronounced man~ ner, that in 1876 my hon.friend (Sir Richard Cartwright) and the late Government had determined upon the introduction of a higher tariff, and that they were deterred from doing #0 by & deputation headed by Mr.Jones, who represented to the Government bis determination to oppose the Government if such an increase wag effected.I have to tell the hon.gentleman that bis story is wholly imaginary- (Hear, hear.) The Government never determined upon any such policy.(Hamar, hear.) The Government were never visited by Mr.Jones with any such message, (Hea, hear.) There was a question Ab the time as to the policy of obtaining additional revenue or allowing the past deficit to accrue, sadasa matter of course, there were discussions aniongst thoss who might anticipate the purpose of the Government to impose a higher rate on imports.I hope the hon.gentleman will not in future repeat that statement, (Hear, hear, and laughter.) My hon, friend be= bind me says his whole speech was only a tories of repetitions, and it will be repeated again.(Hear, hear.) I would suggest then that the hon.gentieman should GET THIS SPEECH PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED, as thas would save nia going over a great deal of the ground.I have very little further to say at the present time, though there are many things I would like to discuss.There are, however, one or two other things to which I desire briefly to refer.The hon.member for Cumberiand said that we gained office in 1873 by un.boly means.(Laughter.) Well, sir, what were the unholy means?Hon.gentlemen had a vote of want of confidence, which L moved, as leader of the Opposition in this House, pending against them.They discussed it for days and day, and they at last went sneaking out of the House one night, the Minister of Finance with a commission of Lieutenaut-Governor awaiting him, another member ôf the Government with the commission of Judge awaiting him, aud the hon.gentleman got up and stated, in his place in the House, that they iniended to resume the debate on the following day, and asked us to agree to an adjournment, which they knew,in the state of the House, they could not carry.(Cheers.) The majority assented to adjaurn on this represeutation, aud befora the House again met Licutenant-Governor Tilley and Judge MacHougall were off for their respective positions.(Cheara and laughter.) Well, sir, the Government failed to test their position by a vote of the House,and they went out by the back door, endeavouring to get away | .UNDER COVER AND HIDING THEM3ELVRS a3 they best could.(Cneers and laughter.) Under these circumstances we were callod by the Gorvernor-General to assume office, and yet the hon.gentleman says we ob= tained office by unholy means.(Renewed chee:s.) Why, sir, if our means of obtaining office were unholy, I look in vain to the vocabulary of the hon.member for Cumberland for words expressive of the condition to which hon.gentlemen opposite were reduced at that moment.(Hear, bear, and cheers.) To be sure, sir, the member for Cumberland took good care shortly afterwards to wask his hands of the transaction.(Hu.ar, hear.) He 8il that he, at any rate, was not to blame, shat be bad no hand in the pie ; but after he and the whole of thosa who took part in that transaction have come hack to be leäders in the House he defends it almost and flings taunts across the House against those who were called on to admisister the affaira of the country when they were no longer able to do so.I would just say sir, that when gentlemen on this side of the House are disposed to let thig matter sleep, gentlemen oppusite had better do so.(Hear, dear.) But if they persist in discussing these things, it may be necsesary for us to discuss what was the condition of the country at the time, what have been the results since, and what ia to ba expected from the continuance of puch gen- emen in office in the cheers.) fatare.(Lond \u2014\u2014 MAINE NEWS, \u2014_\u2014 Hop Bitters, which are advert i CO:UIBNS, Ars à sure cure For aan Samos ness and kidney complaints, Those who u.e them gay they cannot be too highly recommended.\u2018Those sfllcted should give them a fair trial, and wii] become thereby enthusiastic 1n th i : ) ualities, Portland dd, © 0 HOI curative | victed in the North- District of Keewatip, Sop ON MACDONALD moved that Government business shail have pros: dence immediately after routine process\u201d ings on l'huredays during tho remal ion.\u2014Carried.0 ir.BABY moved the House into Commi: tes of the Whole to consider certain resolutions relating to the inspeciio > i as follows :\u2014 or ah box of smoked herriogs, two o.nts;

t:e country was one hundred and five million dollars.The Finance Minister of 1873 (Mr.Tilley) had stated thut the excess of imports over exports in that year was proof of the prosperity of the Dominion, but in 1879 he (Mr.Tilley) took the opposite ground.In regard to publie expenditure the Minister of Railways bad stated that the Governmens had a lags number ef unfinished works handed down to them by their predecesiors.He read from the Budget speech of Mr, Tilley, in 1873, to prove that all the works that were car ried on by the Mackenzie Government bad been handed down by a legacy from the Macdonald Government to their successor.The whole incteuse in thé ordinary expenditure of tho Government of his hon.friend for Lambton had been increased only $200,000 in the five years in which they bad been in power.During the years 1876 to 1877 the inereass in the Dominion Savings Department had been $1,700,000, and in the year in which the hon.gvntieman took office this hud been decreased by roma $500,000.Ia all parts of the gouatry real estate had decreased very Considerably during the last year and-a - hall.Speaking of the decline in rents he ssid that in some sections tenants ware occupying rouses free of rent.There bad been a general decline in the value of stoeksPand there had been a large increase in the number of bankruptcies.Ia 1877 21,474 persons had left the Dominion and settled in the United States, while for ths six months of 1879, 15,146 persons had left the country.They wonid now come to the city of Hamilton.If there was a city in the Do:ninion which ought to have benefited by the Tariff it was this manufacturing centze of the Dominion, yet they found that while in that city in 1878 there were 877 vYacant houses, she number had increased in 1879 to 528.Ia the city of Ottawa there were upwards of 1,700 vacant housee, He quoted from the now defunct Halifex Reporter a gloomy picture of the state of affairs in that city.It had been stated before the last election that the workingmen of the country were to be benefited by the N.P., were to bave more work and higher pay.the promises made by the Cunservatité leaders to the workingmen been fulfilled ?\u2018Phis he de- pied and said that so far from there having been an increase in tho \u2018Tate of wages there had been a reduction.The representatives from Prince Edward Issänd had also borne testimony to the injurious reaults of the operation of the Tariff in that Provinca.As an offset to this the people of that Province demanded a portion of the Fishery Award, and, failing to secure this, talked of secession.In Nova Scotia he found that a similar move was being made.148 another evidence of the de- pressior, they had a falling of in the revenue ot the Intercolonial Railwa while they also had a petition from torn 3,000 residents of St.John, N.B » against the tariff, He protested againat the high duties On tea and sugar, because tha Treasury did not receive the benefi', but the moneyjwent into the pockets of the import ers and manufacturers.Another objection to the sugar duties was, that they head diverted the wholesale trade from the Pro- Yince oË Oatario to the Province of Quebec In 1878 che importations of sugar into the Provines of Ontario amounted to 32,000 000 pounda, while in 1879 they only amounted to 9,000,000 pounds.- The importation of sugar into the Province of Quebec in 1878 amounted te 19,000,000 pounds while i 1879 it amounted to 43 000,000 ou de.The principal reason why he Pobiested 8.this discussion wag that one fires rea 2 the benefit.By one rise in sugar oy Bedpath Company cleared $800,000 © r.GAULT \u2014 The hon.gentleman ought to know that there were two manufacturers in the city of Montreal com eti pretty hard against each other.Peting Mr.OLIVER \u2014Not very hard, I guess (Laughter) Le next alluded to the cot~ ton monopoly, aud afterwards touched upon the increase of émuggling.The mamber for Monck (Mr.McCallum) had claimed that the tariff had given the farmers a home market; not the only article of farm produce for which increased price had been secured wag wheat, This increase bad been brought about by circu stances abroad, while the pricas pr other grains bad decreased, The Fiaane Minister had alse tried to delude the tar.mer by imposing a duty of three cents or pound en wool, of which we did not im .* one pound inte the Country.Wp Fe the long wool which we did nos A re facture protected, while the short wool which we did not manufacture was not As tected ?The preparation of this scie vie tariff, frem W.H.Frazer to Senator Fab ;
