stout-hearted, patriotic men, determined to will and to do are to be found, but, unfortunately, there are also to be found a too numerous class who retard and discourage a spirit of enterprise in others.Let all euch, at least, keep silence ; if they can do no good, let them at any rate do no harm.For many years the business of this country has been most depressed, and the outlook gloomy ; but the dawn of brighter days seems at hand, The great hope of the country is now in the building up of à foreign trade, and in ordez to accomplish this we must attract to it vessels of every nation.Though ou: seaports wav be closed five months out of twelve, the remaining seven can be made fivefold greater in volume of imports and exports than at present.Montreal is, and always will be, the great commercial centre of this country, if her people will only be true to her interests, and it is a duty that we owe, not to ourselves alone, by any means, but to the whole country.The people of the West demand it of us, occupying, as we do, a position at the head of sea navigation, and we are bound to provide for the shipping facilities required, \u2018While our Western friends demand this of us,gthey freely and generously on the other hand insist that we shall be relieved of the River and Lake St.Peter debt, a tax which should never have been imposed upon us.Relieved of that Montreal can be declared a free port at once for all ves- gels, The next thing required is that the city assume the debt of the harbour ; this would prove the best investment it ever made, But another matter of no less importance demands prompt action.The item of towage is the most serious of all the obstacles in the way of shipping.The Harbour Commissioners must grapple with this evil, and mot content themselves with exhibiting a private company\u2019s tariff of towage ; they most do something in the public interest themszlves, Although the tariff referred to is 50 per cent, lower than the old Quebec one of 1872 or 1874, it is still much too high to give satisfaction to ship-owners ; better even r.tain the tonnage dues on sailing vessels, if by that means alone we can secure for them a tow- age rate that cannot be complained of.The charges for towage and pilotage tre the great drawback to trade, reduce these to & minimum, remove tonnage dues on vessels, and Montreal, as well as the whole country, will at once experience a commercial impetus never before known in her bistory.Montreal is now at the most interesting period of her existence ; her sons must be up and doing: Those occupying public positions of trust within her limits, especially, are called upon to move; and those of them who cannot or will net perceive the necessities of the times must give way to others who can.The pbople of the whole country from the Rocky Mountains to the sea are Icoking to Montreal, and demand of her citizens that, with the key of the position in their hands, they shall unlock and set free the shippin g interest of the country.A CANADIAN.M ontreal, April 17, 1880.tt tm INSOLVENT NOLICKS.QUEBEC.AssIGNEEs APPOINTED = T Girouard, Montreal, to Kehoe & Co;

personally comfortable to grow wool every day of its life.Three hundred and sixty-five days make a year.If from any cause a sheep is uncomfortable a gin- glo day, he will grow wool only 364 days in a year.If for four months at a time from ill health or lack of food or water it produces Wool only eight months ina year, there is a loes of one-third ofthe profits he would have given his owner.: À sleep out of condition is subjected to ailments that in good condition would not have affected him.Sheep fat ia the fall will go through the winter and the ordeal of lambing with safety and success.If in thin, weak condition, the relaxing of the system in spring and the extra demands of the ewe at lambing time, bring a series of diseases quite disgusting to the flock- master.No animal rewards its owner so for liberal feeding and painstaking care as does the sheep.The idea has so often been expressed that a sheep can do without food and water, that many have concluded it was true.It may live on less food (and do well) than any other animal in proportion te its live weight, but that they live by eating is sure, and the more they eat and the better bygienic treatment, the better results they give in fleece and lamb, and vigorous, long-lived usefulness.BOGUS AND COUNTERFEIT.There is no genuine Hop Bitters made or sold in Canada, except by Hop Bitters M\u2019f\u2019g Co., of Toronto, Out.,

the strong reasons which exist for making the River St.Lawrence free from excessive tolls are now fully appreciated by the best business men of Western Canada The recent deputation to Ottawa 1s the best proof of this fact.Some objec:ion has, we see, been made in Quebec, from a feeling which we do not careto characterize and do not wish to discuss,because it is useless to foment jealonsies between sister cities.We, therefore, content ourselves with remarking, that both by the guarantee of her Harbour bonds and the expenditure on the fortifications, gates, &c., which are now useless for military purposes, and only available as promoting the amenities of the city, the Government is doing so much for Quebec as to mike it very ill manners for her to object to aasistance to an arrangement which, though nominally connected with this city, is really of vital importance to every part of the country.Up to this time no assistance has ever been given by the Government to the work done in and for the harbour proper ; but, on the contrary, as was shown a few days ago by Mr, Cramp, there are several items of account amounting to large sums, which the Government still owes to the corporation charged with the joint surveillance of the harbour and of the improvement of the river.If any of these items may be objected to by cavillers, it is certain that the Harbour Trust ought to be recouped for the very large expenditure on the wharf near the Canal Basin, which has been destroyed to make room for the outlet to the Lachine Canal.If the local interest of tue harbour is to be separated from that of the river, in which the country at large has so great a concern, assuredly the Government is bound to make good the damage done .0 the harbour, even if it does not go as far as it has done for Quebec, by guaranteeing the debt.But we take a wider view than that.We say that leaving out of consideration any charges which properly fall upon the Harbour of Montreal, the cost of deepening the river is saddled on the trade of this city merely by accident.Look at the history of this great work.It was in the first instance undertaken by the Government, a few years after the union of Upper and Lower Cunads.The fact of this undertaking stamped upon the work its national character.It wae an enterprise in which the whole country felt an interest,and in which, through its agent,the Government, it took part \u2014wisely and rightfully took part.Had the scheme then adopted been successful, the deepening of Lake St.Peter and the rest of the river would no more have scemed to devolve, especial'y on the trade of Montreal, than the cost of the Welland Canal is devolved upon that of St.Catharines.The one thing is, in principle, indeed, just about as reasonable as the other.Proximity in either case woula bes the sole ground for any such charge, and it would be as applic- ablein one case as in the other but that is, not at all.Montreal becagne especially connected with the work ard the charges upon it, simply because it was thought convenient to give the control of the undertaking, after it was determined to try the new and successful scheme, to | an existing corporation, the Harbour Board of the city.But that changed nothing of the nature of the enterprise, and made it mo less than before a great national work.Indeed, in some sense of the word, that has always been recogn:zed, for the Harbour dues have been levied on all goods coming to the port as well as on those required for local consamp- tion.But this is now felt to be a very inconvenient way of procuring a revenue, and one that checks to a considerable extent the good which the country ought to derive from the river artificially mada so much more useful than it was by nature.The policy which has dictated the freeing of the New York Canal from oppressive tolls, and has at once wonderfully augmented their usefulness, commends itself not merely to Montreal men, but fortunately, some have said, to able men in all parts.The city owes much to their wise liberality.It is also greatly indebted to the late and present Presidents of the Harbour Board, to their colleagues, and to the gentlemen of the Board of Trade for their earnest and patriotic eftorts in this behalf, which wo trust are destined to be speedily fruitful, THE LENGTH OF THE SESSION.Those who predicted a short session of Parliament a few weeks ago are already shown by the fact te have been astray in the reckoning.The present sitting of Parliament cannot well be concluded till sometime in May.It is, per- Japs, useless to expect the House in fu~ ture to complete its labours much under Senor Rados, in the name of the Commit.\" MONTREAL HERArw AND DAITY COMMERC three months.À shorter session would | be desirable, if for no other reason than on account of the expense, but the tendency is towards increasing rather than limiting the volume of debate.We would not say one word to discourage questions which may come up for consideration, but at the same time we must recognize the fact that a great many speeches are made which, for all the good they accomplish in Parliament or out of it, might better never have found utterance.It is perfectly natural for members to desire to cut a good figure before their constituents, and we are unable to be anything but lenient and charitable towards them, even when it is apparent they are talking for the ear of their electors.We do object, however, to the Statement which has been going the rounds of the Ministerial newspapers to the effect that the Opposition is largely regponsible for ths length of the session.It is possible for an Opposition to be factious and unreasonable, but the conduct of the Liberal Opposition at Ottawa has been the reverse of any such attitude.Nothing could be more fair and courteous, or further from any desire to obstruct, than the manner of the Opposition in the House.The Tariff debate has been longer, perhaps, than there was any necessity of ifs being\u2014but it is very far from the truth to charge the length of the discussion upon the Opposition.Though we do say it, the debate on the Liberal side was confined more strictly to the point-\u2014was less rambling and irrelevant\u2014than that of the Ministerialists, who attempted to cover too much ground, and make out à better Government policy than the actual facts would admit of.But*considerable time was wasted before the Tariff debate began in waiting upon the Government to mature its measures, and bring down the work of the session.This fact scems to have been lost sight of by the Conservative journalists, who see so much to find fault in the conduct of the Opposition.If we are to have short sessions, it devolves upon the Ministers to be prepared to submit their returns at an early day after the assembling of Parliament, and dpon the Finance Minister to bring down his Budget sooner than Sir Leonard Tilly did this year.We by no means counsel hasty legislation.Time should be taken for the discussion and consideration of important public matters.It is, therefore, all the more incumbent upon the Government, not to keep back measures till the last days of the session, when members are restless to be relieved of their legislative duties, and disposed to pass them without giving them much attention.THECRA TEAUGUAY ELECTION

impossible to follow all the difficult phases of the candidate-prospecting which is going on among our American neighbours, in view of the appreaching Presidential election.Tilden, not without good reason, has all along been regarded as most likely to obtain the Democratic nomination, but latterly his chances have been retrograding.It is now stated in some of the leading journals that he has written a letter which is to be read before the Cincinnatti Uonvention positively declining the nomination.The opposivion of Kelly and the Tammany Ring of the New York Democratics to Mr.Tilden, while that State is regarded as the keystone ef the situa~ tion, must be perplexing to those who avour his candidature, and may be the secret of his alleged determination to retire from the field.The Republicans profess to favour Tilden because they think he would prove a weak opponent.THE LATesT CABLE News.Cables received yesterday via New York, from London, inform us that \u201cQueen Victoria

contemporary on Saturday that the Corperation should utilisethe small piece of spare land which adjoins the wheelhouse at the village of St.Gabriel for abattoirs has caused great indignation among the people of the village.J key claim that, besides polluting the water, the slaughtering house that would be erected by the butchers would be of such a rature as to tend to make an otherwise healthy place not fit to live in.They hold that the piece of land is too small for any ex- teneive buildings to be erected upen, with necessary drains, &c., for a public abattoir.Proprietors of property in the village have also something to say in the matter, and will, it is said, strenuously resist any attempt on the part of the city Corporation to depreciate their property in the neighbourhood.The idea of having it at the East End of the city seems to be in favour with the majority.THE HUDON COTTON COMPANY EMPLOYES, A question of wages has, during tho lgst few days, affected the people of the

IN THE HOUSE.THE PREMIER COMPELLED TO GIVE WAY.THE SONG OF THE N.P.From our Special Correspondent.Ottawa, April 17.Mr.DeCosmos took the floor about one ¢\u2019clock this (Saturday) morning, after Sir John Macdcnald bad announced his intention of forcing a division, and proceeded to address the House, as he said, for ome hour, two hours, three hours, four hours, any number of hours in fact.Sir John Macdonald left the Chamber at this stage, as did also many of the other members, and the general opinion was that the House was about entering upon another such extraordinary sitting as was witneased on the occa sion uf the Latellier Cebate in 1878.It wag not long ere the Commons restaurant was thronged with members engaged in fortifying themselves for the long siege in store for them, while others clustered about the smoking room, where later on one of the pages sang the solo parts, and many of the members joined in the chorus of well- known French Canadian songs.The galleries, which early in the evening had been well filled, had by this time been pretty thoroughly cleared.The ladies\u2019 gallery was entirely empty; the Senators\u2019 gallery was occupied by two dignified- looking Hansard repor ers; three sleepy- looking males took the place of the brilliant throng of the fair sex, which usually occupies the Speakers gallery, while the general gallery bad but three occupants.Tbe reporcers, always the last to desert the ship of S:ate, were nearly all absent from their posts, and merety put in a semi-occasional appearance for the purpose of wituessing the progress of events.On the floor of the Chamber general demoralization was the order of the day.Comparatively few of the members were in their seats, and most of these were nodding away.The only real live man appeared to be Mr.Landry, who never loses an opportunity of\u201d lustily crying out ¢ Hear, Hear\u201d on his fellow- mombers.Two o'clock found the House still in this disorganized condition.The M.'s P.in the chamber were sprawling about the chairs in all sorts of uu- gainly attitudes, a few ware listening with amusen ent to the somewhat disarranged remarks of the gentleman addressing the House.Ia one or two places couversational groups bad gathered.The Finance Minister was leading the House, and looked as sleepy as the other members.Mr.De- Cosmos looked compassionately upon him at times and suggested an adjournment.There was no sign of yielding, and the orator went at it again, evidently determined to fight it out on this line if it took all summer.Finally, at 2.45, Sir John Macdonaid entered the chamber, and a moment later the Minister of Justice was observed to give some word to Mr.DeCosmos, who at once moved the adjournment of the debate.Sir John cried * Carried,\u201d threw up the sponge, and thus was concluded, in a semi-respectabls manner, what bad promised to be a most disgraceful episode.The conduct of the First Minister in trying to force a decision cannot be too severely condemned, and it is ali the more discreditable from the fact that he was willing to allow the debate to close without seeking to vin- dieate the correctness of his statements as to the expected resources for the building of the road, which had been so severely criticized by Mr.Blake.The Free Press contains a parody on Tom Hood\u2019s \u2018Song of the Shirt,\u201d headed \u201c Song of the N.P.,\u201d and signed Thomas Hood, Jr.It ig said to be the work of a Liberal M.P.The following verses will serve as specimens :\u2014 With feelings declining and sad, With heart all-aching and

Liberals here over the election of Mr.Holton for Chateauguay County.GLADSTONE MUST BE PREMIER WHAT THE PRESS SAYS.BEACONSFIELD GIVES NO SIGN.CABINET PROGNOSTICATIONS.EARL DUFFERIN VICEROY OF

hgs gathered force bourly during the week.The Queen is publicly entreated by the Liberal joarn- als not to allow parsonal antipathies to oppose the national wish.Private despatches from Hawarden, Walmer and Newmarket say that a perfect understanding exists between Mr.Gladstone and Lords Granville and Har:ington respecting the leadership, all tending to over-poweriag evidence that iv is necessary for Mr, Gladstone to resume power, Itis doubtful if this is true of Earl Granville, but the Whig section of the party, Earls Hartington and perhaps Granville excepted, are obstinately pessimist in opposition to Mr.Gladstone.Sir William Harcourt\u2019s long known dislike to Mr.Gladstone will not prevent his accepting that statesman as his leader, though on being asked to name the Premier, he desired to be oracularly announced as ignorant.Everything points to the discomfiture of this section.The Standard declares that Mr.@lad- stone has been indicated for the Premiership by an informal plebicitum.The Times, after an unavailing straggle, has confessed the necessity for his presence in the Cabinet.Itis thought, is hopes, Le may hold a subordinate place.Yesterday it likened Mr.Gladstone to a professional cardsharper, unable to quit the gaming table.The Pall Mall Gazette, while bitterly detesting Mr.Gladstone, announces sorrowfully that only bis own refusal can interpose between him and the headship of the Government, Mr.Gladstone now allows his intimates to understand that he considers himself obliged to sacrifice personal preferences and accept the Premiership if offered.Ho arrives in London on Monday, and unless unforeseen complications occur, he will be Prime Minister \u2014\u2014 before the end of the week.Conj-ctures regarding the subordinate offices partly depend on the settlement of the Premiership.It is considered cer:ain that Earl Granville, Lord Hartington, Hon.Mr.Forster, Lord Selborne, the Duke of Argyll, Lord Kimberley, Sir Charles W.Diike, Professor Fawcett, Sir William Harcourt, Lord Northbrook, Lord Roseberry, and Mr.Bright, may, if willing, be members of the new Cabinet.The probab'lities include Lord Ripon, Lord Lansdowne, Mr.Childers, Mr.Goshen, if he waves his objections to the county franchise, and perhaps Mesers.Stansfield, Chamberlin, or Mundells, with probably two or three ornamental Whigs holding dignified sinecures.The moderate Home Rulers rejoice at Mr.Shaw\u2019s election for county Cork by a great majority, notwithstanding the desperate efforts to defeat him.The Parnellite members number 24, Mr.Shaw\u2019s followers 36.The strength of Parncll\u2019s band exceeds the calculations, but the Tories show little inclination to accapt his proffered alliance.It will be ampossible for him to find support for his agrarian schemes in the House, and b's avowed intention to resume ebstruc- tion is likely to meet with sterner resistance than Sir Stafford Northeote offered.The Liberals exprees their intention to consider all constitutional Irish demands and concede everything reasonable, They wiil mark their sympathy by acceptable appointments, and will probably make Mv.Forster Irish Secretary aud Lord Dufferin Lord «Lieutenani.A recent conversation with Dean Stanley regarding the Napoleon memorial indicates that the Dean only desires a sufficient - excuse to exclude the memorial from Westminster Abbey.It is reported that M.Leon Say, the new French Ambassador, among his first diplomatic duties, intends to sub- mi a remonstrance against the meino- rial, Mr.Irving decides to abandon his intended visit to America this year owing to the extraordiaary success of the \u201c Merchant of Venice,\u201d which continues to draw overflowing honses.He hopes to go to America the following autumn.Negotiations are still proceeding between him and a New York manager.Powis, April 18.M.Da Lesseps thinks the cutting of the Panama Canal would not be nearly so difficult as that of the Suez, and 1s 1ejulved to demonstrate.thig in every great town in the world.If The United States Government then stands in ths way of the canal it will bave the uni: verse acainst it, including all intelligent Americans.Ia conversation with a group of friends at Madame Adams\u2019 salon M.De L:sseps intimated in effect that he will carry on his enterprise in concert with the United, Stares if possible, but if not with the rest of the world.In Bonapartist circles a stir has been caused by a letter from Princess Clothilde to her son Victor, warning him not to follow Prince Napoleon\u2019s impions example.The expediency is deb.ted of declaring Victor the Bonapartist heir as he is approaching his eighteenth year.If he breaks with Prince Napoleon the Empress Eugenie will provide the funds necess:ry for an independent establishment.The Princess Clothilde was moved to interfere by her husband's letter in the French journals taking -part with the Government against the Jesuits.AMUSEMENTS.\u2014 0 Academy of Music.5 WELLINGTON DR BOOTS.\u201d The Felix Morris Company gave their final performance on Saturday night to a rather slim heuse, caused, no doubt, by the hard

Francisco to fill asix weeks\u2019 engagement there at Baldwin\u2019s Opera House.It is unnecessary for us to speak in words of praise of the scholarly attainments and genuine abilities as a Shakespearian interpreter of Mr.Bandmann.He has for years held the premier place on the stage as a conscientious delineatorof character,both in tragedy and comedy.Correct and instructive in his reading, he has won the respect and esteem of all those who feel that the stage, when legitimately worked, can be of the greatest servige in upholding morality in all phases of society.His many friends in Montreal, and they can be counted by hundreds, could not see him go away from the city and the Dominion without, in some slight way, showing the respect in which he is held by the community.A benefit night was offered to him and accepte, and we are glad to state that so heartily was the matter taken up by his friends that on Saturday evening there was hardly an orchestra chair to be had for love or money.The \u2018¢ Stranger\u201d and \u201cDon Cesar de Bazan\u201d are the pieces chosen for presentation, and from all we know of Mr.Bandmann and the artists, both ladies and gentlemen who support him, a performance way be looked for to-night that has not been seen.in Montreal for years.Mrs.Bandmann, Miss Aicken and Miss, Amelia Herbert stand in the front rank of their profession as genuine artists, while Messrs.Wilmot Eyre, Percy Lyndal and Gofton take no second place in their several roles, Let there be a bumper house to-night, one that will show that Montrealers can appreciate true and Lonest merit.A \u201c BILLY\u201d FLORENCE AND TRE ¢* MIGHTY DOLLAR.\u201d Next Wednesday Mr.and Mrs.Florence, with their excellent company, opers for a short season at the above house in B.E.Wolf*s comedy of \u2018 The Mighty Dollar,\u201d a work which has won a national popularity second to few American plays, a framework for a vein of the keenest satire in the characters of the Hon.Bardwell Slote, a type of a certain phase of political life, and (Mrs.Gen.Gilflory, a woman whose identity can at once be recognized by any one at all familiar with some of the female fruit of the American colony in Paris.The Chicago Tribune speaks of the performance in the following terms : \u2014\u201c Mr.Florence pictures with admirable force, in Bardwell Slote, the vulgar, overreaching trickster, the link in rings, and a leader in steals, who infests political life, and while the actor makes us laugh, he gives us something for reflection.\u2018The humour that lurks in a word, or a phrase, or à movement is keenly relished by this actor.What he thus appreciates he hap~ pily conveys, and he never overstrains to do so, and, therefore, never oversteps ihe boundaries ot satire and stumbles into burlesque.The latter remark may be truthfully applied to Mrs.Florence in her assumption of Mrs.Gilflory, the type of feminine shoddyism who has \u201clived so long abroad \u201d that hef speech has become inoculated with bad French, and her figure has become a peg upon which to hang dresses cut in extravagant styles, and made out of flaming colours, ln the hands ot this actress the personation is a subtle de- rotemen: of character and satire.Her affection, her grand air, is very jocose, her eternal * Libby dear \u201d isamusing, and her absurd mixture of ioreign places, names, and dates, all given with an absolutely, straight face, is exceedingly rich.\u201d Mrs.W.J.Florence, voige by.the Al bany Mirror, states wh 8 about good clothes.She says thai ladies while being fitted by their dressmaker should stand perfectly erect, and not permit their shoulders to drop when tired.This prevents bagging in seams below the waistline.The corset should be good, light, pliable and well.fitting.French modistes, she says, swindle American womed, especial.y those who do not spegk French and have no decision.She says that in packing costly clothing®ne trunk should be used for dresses alone, each dress having its particular tray, and having the skirts, each puff and fold being kept out by wads ot soft, yellow tissue paper, with every button and piece of fringe covered or un- derlaid, and the top tray covered with fine cotton batting aud oiled silk.Seats for for the ¢ Mighty Dollar\u201d can now be secured for each evening and matinee on Saturday at De Zouche\u2019s music store, NORDHEIMER'S HALLE.HERRMANN Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather on Saturday, Nordheimer\u2019s Hall was well filled to witness the performances of Professor Herrmann, and it is safe to say that not an individual in the vast assemblage regretted having been present, Herrmann as & necromancer is certainty without a peer.He performs his tricks with lightning rapidity and with a finish that almost stamps them as realities.The tricks were so @umerous that it is im possible to give even an rdea of the way in which they were présented.The ventriloquist, Val Vose, is also à great novelty, and an artist of & peculiar kind, The city has seen nothing like him before, and will not do so again for many years.The Lorellos are too well-known in this city to need mention here, for their approximation to the Majilton\u2019s is surprising.Thisevening an addition will be made to the pro- grainme, when Mlle.Addie will make her first appearance in this city.There will doubt be a crowded house, as there should be.1HE LIEUT-GOVERNOR.His Honour Lieut.-Governor Robitaille, on Saturday afternoon.gave a levee at the Windsor Hotel.Capt, Shephard and Majo: Hatton acted as Aides de-camp, but their duties were not onerous, for owing, no doubt, to the unpleasant state of the weather, the visitors were not 80 numerous as might have been expected.ANOTHER LUGAN INCENDIARISM AN UNSUCCESSFUL ENDEAVOUR.Lucan, April 18.The livery stable belonging to Mr, Jas, Creighton, Main street, wag nearly being the scene of a serious covflagration under the following circuinstances :\u2014The building is a frame one, and contained five horses, begides the usual outfit of carriages, &:.In one corner of the building # room was partitioned off which was used as harness room and bedroom for the stable boy.The stable was carefully locked last evening, and two boys, Simon Howe and Willis Atkinson, retired about 10 o\u2019clock.They had also as companion a large mastiff.About three o\u2019clock this morning Atkinson was seized with a violent cramp, and in order to get rid of this, he jumped out of bed, opened the door and went out into the statle part, and immediately he discovered a light overhead where several tons of hay were stored.He rushed back and awoke his companion.The boys were somewhat afraid to venture up stairs, but called the occupant of the next houee, Mr.James Watts.On his arrival they went up and found a wax candle three inches long sticking in the hay-pile aod burned down to within one half inch of the hay.Five minutes more and it would be impossible to tell where the conflagration would have ended.The en] trance was effected through a side window in the lower storey under which a large packing box was placed.The most mysterious part of the affair is that a large black bottle which, the boys are potitive, stood behind their bedroom door when they went to bed was found on the hay up stairs about three feet from where the candle was.The theory afloat respecting the bottle is that it was taken as a test to ascertain whether the boys were sound a leep or not, and that such a precedure would not have been attempted by any stranger.The owner of the premises, Mr.James Creighton, says, to his knowledge, he has not an-enemy in the world, without the fact of his being one of the jurors empanelled to enquire into the cause of the late fire in the O'Connor residence, would be the cause of any person entertaining an ill-feeling against him.DEATHS.On the 16th inst., of consumption, Alzira Dean, beloved wife

to the jury in the caee of the Hamilton Powder Company on Saturday morning upon the opening of the Court.He denied that 70,000 pounds of explosives had been stored in the magazine at Belœ:l, and ridiculed the idea that an explosion, in any case, would cause the wide-spread devastation predicted by some of the witnesses for the prosecution.He classed the evidenca acder threo heads\u2014that of the neighbours, the prosecution, and the opinions of learned professors who had been brought forward.The first two classer, he felt, had been fully dispused of.That of the skilled chemists consisted simply of theories of their own, whiclr were borao out by the fact that they all differed in their opinions, as did also lawyers and juries, doctors and homeepa- thists.He contended that the defence bad been proved satisfactorily by no less than five witnesses that dua- line was safer than gunpowder and of far greater utility, He reviewed the evidence minutely, and concluded an elcquent appeal to the jury by expressing the confidence he fels in their recdering an impartial verdict.Mr.Macrar, Q C., for the Crown, claimed that the case was one of life and death to many pecple who might be passing on the line of railway when an explo-~ sion tcok place.The evidemce of the Americab professors of chemistry to the effect that not the elightest danger of an explosion nced be apprehended at Beleil, was of no moment.\u2018I'hey spoke flippantly, as if dualine was a harmless liquid, while he contended the defence ignorea the really pertinent evidence given by several distinguished Canadian professers.Among other things hoe exhibited to the jury the way-bills of the Hamilton Powder Company, showing that the dualine had been shipped to Stratford under the name of blasting powder.Mr.W.H.Kerr, Q.C, followed.After referring to the importance of the case he went on to say that all the witnesses on both sides had admitted the danger of tho manufacture of the compound called dualine.They had been told that there was danger in the mixing, danger in the washing of the nitro-glycerise, while con- cuasion of the compound was sure to cause an explosion.In regard to the scientific evidence, all the witnesses had admitted that nitro-glycerine and its compounds were highly explosive.The learned counsel then referred thelCourt to the statutes \u2018concerning the storage of gunpowder in magezines, showing that they must be constructed in a certain way and located at a distance of five miles from apy city or town, and at least fifteen acres from any puklic thoroughfare.His Honour then addressed the jury a some length.He reminded them tiat, after due cunsideration, they had nothing to consider, except the first and fifth counts inthe indictment,giz., tbe manufacture and storage of the substanee called dua- lige.He would express no opinion, but leave it to them to decide whether such a large quantity of explosive mate;ial was dangerous to the ps:ople living in the vicinity of the worke.The jury ratired at 420 p.m., and aîter some hours of consultation, came into Court acd stated that they could not agree, thereupon His Honour discharged them.It is understood that the jury were almost unapimoeus for acquittal, standing eleven for to one againat.INSOLVENT COURT.In this Court, on Saturday morning, Mr.Justice Torrance rendered a very long and claborate judgment in the Bell case.His Honour sustained the pretentions of Mr.Keller, holding that all the writs of attachment issued, under the late Insolvent Act on the first ot April were worthless.No part ef a day was known under our law, consequently the Act, though receiving the Royal sanction only at three o\u2019clock in the afternoon, nevertheless took effect in the morning.\u2018I'he writ of attachment against Mr.Bell way therefore quashed with costs.WEATHER REPORT.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Montreal, April 17.TEMPERATURE\u2014In the shade by Standard

the Waichman :\u2014 The Rev.William N.Clarke, D.D,, who has been pastor of the church at New- ton Centr: since 1869, hes resigoed that impor:ant charge and accepted the call of the Olivet Baptist Church, in Montreal, Canada.It isa loss not only to.Massachusetts, but to the United States.But in this case we shail hope that before long there will be unmistakable \u2018 1-adings of Providence\u201d to bring Dr.Clarke buck to his native land.Meanwhile the church to which he goes is to be congiatulated on the acquisition of such a preacher as is not to be had every day.In another sense Dr.Clarke's removal is a national loss.For his pen has for four years enriched the columns of the Waichman with the larger part of its notices of new books, and with some other comtributicns.Whatever he has done was done well, We are happy to say, however, that Dr.Clarke will still be a contributor, we trust a frequent gun- tributor, to the Watchman.Me.Hammond's MerTING.Last night the Firs: Baptist Church was crowded to its utmost capacity by an audience who listened with solemn attention to Mr.Hammond\u2019s discourse, several parts of which caused a very deep

of poor people which was about to be heid.She expressed her desire 10 see them and went on her way.The lady asked ker if she would like to speak to them ?The Princess said: « Yes, but do not tell t&m who Lam.\u201d he lady, during the conversation, said: * Would your Royal Highness excuse me if I asked when you first felt that you were sav.d ?\u201d ¢ Well,\u201d said the Princess, \u201c À poor

SPEECH.HOUSE OF COMMONS.- Ottawa, April 16.Hon.Mr.BLAKE went on to say it will be found that the map which the hon.gentleman brought down last year is not at all \u201c brown\" enough with reference to the North-West.It does net, by any means, accurately represent the extent of bad and inferior lands in the North-West.The kcu.gentleman stated that he estimated there were 160,000,000 acres cf available land, but be did not state all that was arable or wheat land.It will be found that tie number of acres of wheat land are not :o be measured by anything like those figures.It will be found, also, that other circumstances coucur to prevent 1i8 being possible that the high-priced lands clcse to the railway belt should be taken up.There ia Bad land close to the rail- rcad, in many places swamp and inferior land.Thesa and other considerations show that, both with reference to the suggested average, obtainable as it is only by assuming that the lands near the railway are all good lands, and the general rate of prices obtainable, only by an exaggerated view as to the quantity of first-class land, the expectation of the hon.gentleman is likely to be realized at all.Now it is obvious, that if there be bad lands close to the railway, the settlers will not pay $5 an acre for them.There is no objection to being near the railway.If you can raise nothing which yon can send away, you would rather be 50 miles away aud raiso 8 crop than close to the line and raise nothing.Auother circumstance which vitiates this estimate is that the settlers will not buy railway lands as long as free grants are obtainable.I spesk in the large.Of course there will be instances in which a man will buy railroad lands, and the capitalist who wants more than 300 acres will, doubtless, buy railroad lands.But, speaking generally, you will fiad few purchasers of railway lands, so long as free gratis are obtainable.Thera is a reason why they should not.They get 160 acres free, and the remainder on mors favourable terms than the purchaser of railway lands, and, therefore, there will be in those earlier years fewer purebasers, of railway lands than the hon.gentleman calculates.Another reason why there will be fewer purchases by settlers of railway lands is that the hon.gentleman has placed a barrier to such purposes by opening the railway lands to epeculators.Speculators are following, day by day, and hour by hour, in the track of the surveyors, finding out where are the best sections, and their entries are in the Land Office when the Department comes in, not with a view of settloment, but with the view of taking, what people on the English Stock market call *\u201c a long shot,\u201d with the view of investing 10 cents an acre in dollar lands, or 20 cents nn acre in $2 lands, in the expectation that, sa a few years, the development of the country will enable them to exact higher terms from the settlers who come in.The hon.gentleman may delude this House, by a return this year or the next, into the notion that he is going to make a great deal of money by selling the railway lande, because he is selling a large quantity of lands in which the purchazers are paying only 10 cents an acre, but the returns from railway lands will be what settlers will pay ; those from settlers will be but insignificant ; what the settlers will pay is the measure of the true value of those lands to us, and you are deliberately marring the chances of settling that country when yon place in the hands of speculators, upon the payment of 10 cents an acre, the choicest part cË the railway lands, leaving it to them to de- t&rmine how soon and at what price the intending immigrant gets them, and begins to make them valuable and productive to himself and the country.Then it is pretended that the pre-emptors will, at the end of three years, pay in bulk four- tenths of their pre-emption with the interest.The hon.gentleman seriously suggests that, from this source, he will receive ab the end of three years, for the firs: iustalment only, $30,000.Men who go in in 1880 will in 1883 pay in $928,000, the next lot will pay $928,000, the third $1,160,000, and so oa until 1890, when the sum to be paid in will be $1,567,000.I quite agreo with the hon.gentleman that the free grant settlers will take up their pre-cmptions.- No doubt they will enter fer them and proceed to improve them in part, but there is equally little doubt that when the end of the three years comos rouud the hon.gentleman\u2019s coffers will not be much fuiler by reuson of these pre-emp- tions becoming due.I do not mean tosay he may not ultimately realize it, but I am talking of his calculations, that he will build this railway in 10 years by receipts from these lands, I say, that all the exporieuce of all Governments, with re- forence to sales of public lapds is that the settler is slow to pay\u2014is the hon.gentleman going to tell these men who have been doing «ll they can to cultivate these lands during three years that unless they pay up their pre-emption money they will forfeit their pre-emption ?Is he going to use the landlord policy with reference to thosa settlers?Is he going to evict them?No he hos no intention of doing thst, ke will not even threaten them.Judgipg from all experience the result will be that the settler will fael secure, will feel that it is not necessary for him to pay promptly, consequently the calculations based upon the revenue from these lands wiil be wholly falsified; The hon.gentleman expects to receive in the fourth year $1,820,000, in the following year $2,622,000, in the next year $3,230,- 000, in the next year $4,042,000, in the next year $5,058,000, in the next year $6,833,000, in the next $6,877,000, while the last year of this series of arithmetical progression will yield about $7,600,000, to be received in cash from the sales of the North-West lauds, an aggregate of $3&,593,000.Now I venture to say if every one of these calculations be realized, if the hon.gentleman gets into the country the amount of emigration he expects, and at the time he expects, if he makes sales to the number and at the prices he expects, these calcu~ lations will under no circumstances be realized, under no circumatances will he receive these sums, or anything like them.\u2018The receipts frcm sottiera in earlier years will be relatively small sums, and not before the settlers acuieve prosperity and become able to pay will you find these lands becoming a source of revenue to this country.Even according to my calculationshe would be receiving in tiæ fourth year but $1,- 221,000 rusnivg up to nearly $5,000,000 in the last year, su that these corrected caleu- lations are as prepostercus as the original.Then the hop.geatleman takes up the question of the expenses of management and surveys which he estimates at $2,400,~ 000.Now, judging by the resulta in tbe United States, that also ia quite too low.You will remember that there was an enormous acreage to be surveyed.lf all landswere fairly good, lands and survey should be conducted only abreast of the settlement you would require to survey 49,300,000 acres to effect the settlement hon, gentlemen expect, not that that much will be taken up by that number of persons, but to enable the free-granters to taks up the grants he expects to be taken up, but that is on the assumption that all the land to be surveyed is good land and will be taker up.I say tbat is an asscmption we can reasonably act upon, and that it is more correct, perhaps, to conjecture, as we are now in the region of conjecture that 80,000 000 will be the amount of acres required to be surveyed, than the conjecture that the number.I do not know what the emigration policy.of Government is to be, whether they intend largely to increase expenses for that purpose or not ; but it is obvious that if these lands aro to be productive, the cost of rendering them 80 by inducing emigration into that country must become the first charge upoa the lands that, with the cost of surveys and management, should reasonably be deducted from net procceds of lands before you can ascertain what will be the sum you can depend upon.I maintain the whole thing is visionary.When the hon.gentleman opened his remarks he de- pied a certain postulate to be granted to him hy declaring that he would prove his figures to a demonstration, and then at the end he cfered us to abate one half; if you will not, says he, take the whole of my \u2018estimate, take one half.A calculation commencing so pretentiously, and terminating in so humiliating a manner, was hardly, perhaps, worthy the serious attention 1 bave been compelled to ask the House to give it.Now with referenca to the application ot this money.In the announco- wentof the First Minister he took $38,6:0,- 000.That wasto be rec:ived in the 11 years, and deducted at the close of the period $2,400,000, the ne: cash coming in being $36,200,000.UCU to be epent on the Pacific Railway, and there is a small balance due ot $24,000,000, and yet the hon.gentleman tells us that the cust of the road is to be repaid out of the land sales; but that is not the true state of the account, even the $18,000,000 the Hon.Finance Minister was wiiling to deduct does not represent the true state of the case.As I said the other evening, we shall have epent up to the 30th of June $15,000,000, in round numbers, on the Pacific Bailway, and the interest on which, at 4 per cent., would amount to about $1,272,000 up to that period, but taking the figures of the Minister as given the other night, namely, an expenditure of $10,000,000 a year for the fires two years and $5,000,000 a year for each of the following years, and taking the 1eccipts from Jthe lands as the Minister future of our Set this against the $60,600,- estimated, the result would bea yearly deficiency for interest so large as to run up into the sixth year to $698,000, before the account got te the credit side at all.The account getsthe creditiside in 1887and | from that time the intcrest is paid, and something goes towards principal, but the practical result would be a éredit according to that calculation, at the close of the term, of $12,631,000 to the ocapi- tal account of the Pacific Railway.But, according to the true calculations to which, I have refcired,tterewould have been a deficit on interest swelling each year unt:1 it reached asum of over five millions, and that would have gone duwn till it reached it reached $1,478,000, the practical result being that at the close of the term there would be nothing done except to pay the interest on the cost of construction and the whole capital account with a portion of interest would remuin due.When.it is remembered that this calculation was based upon visionary estimates, 1 think.as business men, honeurable gentlemen can mot build largely on the taxes of this country being redeemed on the construction of this railway within the next few ycars, my conclusion is this that, although these might be received, and he hoped they would reccive in the time to ,come a considerable revenue from our lands in the North-West, yet they could not, as prudent men, expect that we should receive such a considerable sum or anything approaching that sum, or anything approaching one-half that sum which \u2018tho Honourable Minister had brought before the Xouse.\u2018They could not expect with an immediate charge and strain\u2019 upon the resources of the country involved in the Ministerial programme which would be presently borne cut of the receipts from lands, that they must look, therefore, to our other resourced for the present bearing of that strain, and that when these receipts did comé in, they would come in to recoup us for long years of arrears of interest and would not do much towards the liquide- tion of the public debt, I have no wish to restrict any expenditure which is essential to us for the settlement of the country.I wish the House to understand that that is, at any rate, no part of my policy.If the House believed that we have a prospect there, I wanted us all to unite in the effort to realize that prospect.I wish us to direct qQur exertions to every step that will be calculated to make the best of the country; to settle it atthe earliest diy ; to give it as soon as possible a productive populaticn and make it an influential portion of the Dominion.It is becausa I want the experiment to hava a fair chance of success, because I beli-va that, commit:ed as-we are to the view that it is our duty and our interest, I implore the House to direct its undivided attention to applying the resources of this country exclusive to that bone cf the whole enterprise, without the success of which there cannot bu a Pacific R-ul vay from sea to sea, without tha success of which it and per haps wo must fall to the wind.Prudence in our expenditure is essential to the exclusiveness of settlement.Do hon.gentlemen suppose that those intelligent persons who were about to emigrate to this couatry would be attracted, ot the reverse, by the proposal to expend thirty millions in the gorges of British Columbia ?Do they sup- puse that the suggestion that we can afford to increas: the burdens of the country by this large sum presently because these people would pay it in taxes and land is en- couragiag them to gointo that country?Do they suppose that these people reading tho principles and programms of the Administration upon this subject, and understanding that this expenditure is to be presently incurred because they wiil all pay for it, are not likely to say : * Perhaps we had batter not come.Perhaps wo had beiter not ba the partakers in this gigantic undertaking, if we are also to be the dis- bureers.\u201d\u201d Prudence in the limitation of our burdens with reference to the increasa of the national debt, with reference to the very enterprise we are undertaking at the pamo time that we are undertaking the gettiement of this country, is an essential condition to the success of our enterprise in colonization.Our position is critical and we must husband our resources for what that critical position may demand.The Hon.Miuister stated last night that Canada stood in a critical pssition.I agreed with him, and standing lu that position, more critical in my view, perhaps, than in the hon.gentioman\u201ds, it is doubly necessary that we should take care not to undertake more than is deemed by both sides essential to the success of the future of our country.If the expectations of the Government are realized, if they reccive this large sum within the short period they bave predicted, if within four or five these sums were paid into the Treasury, then it will Rp time enough to bslieve that there is a practical basis upon whica buei- ness men can Act.'I'ime enough there is then to believe that we have a basis upon which we can proceed to build in British Columbia.Then kon.gentlemen can honestly tell their constituents that there is money to be got from the lands out of which the railway can be buils withoat further adding to the burdens of the country.But.in the meantime, hon.gentlemen caumot honestly say this, they cannof show that the resources of this country, without further adding to its burdens, without using our other taxes for the purpose, are sufficient to build the railway to British Columbia, and I for one stand opp.sed to the expenditure of our public money in any such away.In order properly to understand what our coadition is, irrespective of this question of resources and of land, it is neccesary to look into the condition of the country.There exists à state of things of which it is extremely difficult to form an estimate.Fortunately hon.gentlemen ars called upon to form an estimate now, not for one or two years, but for a sories of years.They have a policy before them,änd they are, therefore, called upon to measure the future of this country for a long term.The best plan is to look back a little and understand if, from the lessons of the past, we can derive any light to be shed upon our future progress.I.is extremely difficult, as I have said, to deal even in a series of gears with the question of the progress of this eountry and the vicissitudes of the seasors upon which depend our main iedosiry and source of wealth.Tne changes in tho market of the world, of the price of grain, the changes in the price of lumber, our principal articles of export, the changes in the world\u2019s trade, depressious end infl :tions, which result in alterations in the profits of our shipping businese, aro all cireum- stances that render 1t an extremely difficult task for a Finance Minister, frm time to time, to learn to forecast tue future of Canada, even for a short 18 monthe.It is, then, with unfeigned diffidence that I ven'ure to offer some general observations with reference to the past as throwing some light on the country.For three years after Confederation the amount of our imports was almost stationary.'L'he tiuies were hard.That period was followed by three or four years of tremendous inflation, The hon.member for Gloucesier (Mr.Anglin) has referred to one circam- stance which, no doubt, reduc:s to some extent the apparent amount of our importe, namely, our illicit trade with the United States.There ie, also, the excessive values of commodities.These circumstavces uo doubt ure to be considered with reference to our apparent inflation, bus apart from the question of that elicit trade, and notwithstanding these icflated values, they proved that we have got less for our money.They did not prove that we paid less money.After this period of four years there followed four years «f widening and deepening depression, and the first question he put was how far tax-paying powers had increased since 1871, when 1t was resolved that we should not increase the existing rate of taxation in order to complete the Pacific Railway.Two factors which had to be considered in order to solve his question were: lst, the increase of our population ; secondly, the increase of cur resources.\u2018The increase of population did not necessarily mean an increase of tax-paving power.I believe that relatively the people of Canada are not able to pay more taxes than in 1871.Thera has been enormous shrinkage in the lumber trade from $20,000,000 to $13,000,030 ; there have been many bad crops, there have been shrinkage in bank stocks, a pumber of these institutions having been sWept away altogether ; there have been depreciations in real estate, not so much as compared with 1871, but sufficient to be destructive of any increase between 1871 and 1879.There have been general and long- prevailing states of depression, besides this there have been lavge increases in public, provincial municipal, corporaticn and private indebtedness.Any one who listened to tke debate oa the Bill to regulate interest could not but be appalled with the ecmount loaned on mortgage in the Province jof Outario.Added to all this there bas been an upward turn in the price of gold, which is unfavouruble to all borrowing communities.Against these have to be set the expenditures which have taken the form of assets, but these are represented 10 pari by premature or misdirected applications of capital.No one will preteud that the Intercoionial Railway, built a8 it has been, is a good commercial speculation, and several railroads in Ontario have been constructed at a time when they coula not be made to benefit the public.Mary of these public works will in future be very valuable, but at present they do not form auy present addition to our resources.The tax-paying power cf tha people of Canada, man for may, is no greater than in 1871.\u2018The proof of that is that we aro actually paying less ; for four years our imports have been diminishing.Last year they reached the lowest point for nine years.It is true our people are buying less nomival value because gocds are cheaper and they get mor@for their money ; but that observation does not hold good, for the values in 1871 reached their maximum and are not go far above those for 1879 as to account for this difference in the amcunt of importations.Speaking generally and in view of the histcry of the last decade, Canada cannot expect a rapid ipcreass of her resources.I hope for progress, though it will be burdened by cur Tariff loaws.The bor.gentleman opposite have hoped for progress on account of Tariff loans.Both agreed in hoping for progress.That there will be pregress I have no doubt, bat I think it will not be such as to interfere with the correctness of the calonlations I am making.I believe that hard work, gradual accumulation and rigid economy is the fate of this country as a whole, au\u201c,individually, I regard it as not an unhappy fate at all, as it has its compensating advantages.From our climate and resources and other circumstances we learn, from the necessities of our situation, virtues which go far to compsensate\u2014I will not say they bave compcusated\u2014for the prospects of greater material prosperity which existed in other landes ; but we must learn theso virtnes and practice them, too, and when you find apparent progress by leaps and bounds, you may eonclude that that progress is more fictitious than real, and will be followed by digaster.We may, as Lho bon.gentlaman stated the other night, nuæbar our population at four millions or, at the rate of census, four and-a- millions, that is including all the new Provinces.I have an interesting table for the first tun years after Confedaration, and which will answer the hon.gentleman's query the other day in reference to the tax paying powsr of Manitoba and Fritih Columbia, when he asked why it should not equal the expenditure, assigning to each Province its local expenditure, iss share of, the Federal expenses assigned to each Province, and its share of the same expenses not assigued ?The results are these : The expenditure for Manitoba was $1,699,000 ; the revenue was $877,000; deficit, $722,000; or very early two dollars expended for one dollar of revenue.For Prince Edward\u2019s Isiaud the receipts were $1,596,600.while the expenditure amounts to $2,624,000, deficit $1,027,000.For British Columbia the receipts amount to $2,558,000, while the cxpenditure wus $3,441,600, defizin $883,- 000.Nova Scotia expenditure waa $21,- 175,000, and its reveuus was $19,115,000, leaving a detiots of $2,060,000.Then there are the joint and Norih-Weat Estimates, the joint including =\u2014 Confederation charges, Civil Goverament and legislation, other.sources no: assigned to the different Provinces, interest on bonds of public debt, and all expenditure in the acquisition of the North- West and other North-West services, and including interest on the public debt ir- curred for the Pacific Railway.The receipts were $7,600,000.The exponditure wag $30,581,000, lsaving a deficit on this point of $42,982,000.Add to this deficis the total deficits of tho several Provinces which I have just gone over, end we have a grand total of deficits amounting to $49,667,000.Now we come to the surpluses.The revenue of the Province f Now Brunswick waa $7,705,600, expenditure, $7,640,800, leaving a surplus of $508,000.Tho revenues for Oatario and Quebec amount to $49,160,000, expendi tures $94 340,080, a surplus of $55,820,000, thus making, with the New Brunswick surplus, a total surplus for these three Provinces of Quobec, Oatario and New Branswick of $56,328,000 to ba applied to the deficits before enumerated, and amouating in the total of $47,674,000, and leaving a net balance of $8,654,000.We fiud, therefore, that Oataris and Quebse have to provide and have provided for tha bulk of this vast exçonditnre resulting from the confederation of tho various Provinces comprising the Dominion, New runswick having supplied æ very small amount.I have not divided Ontario and Quebec, but, taking n few of the great heads or ilems, à c:mparison may ba made thus: \u2018Lhe exciss duties of Oatario amounted to $26,723,000.Thos of Quebec $136,276,000.The Customs duties for Ontario, including those on dutiahle goods going into Ontario, though passed through Montreal, amounted to $60,725,003.The Customs duties for Quebec amounted to $11,966,000.I know that thess figures may be disputed in some respects by the people of the Maritime Provinces as 10 the particular items which have referagce to expenditure on the Intercolonial Railway.I know it is contended, whether rightly or wrongly, that this expenditure should be entered as a general charge against the whole Dominion and not charged separately against the Provinces, I stato this in order that the Ilouge may understand these figures may be somewhat affected in that re- spact, al:hough the result will not be materially altered on that account.It will be seen from these statistics that the new Provinces are not very large contributors to the net revenue of this Dominion, and it will be further seen that the bulk of the expenditure is contributed by the Province trom which I havethe honour to come.The figures I have given show our tax-paying power has increased sinca 1871 at the rate of 16 per cent, but while cour taxpaying power has only increased according to the population at the rate of 16 per cent per head, eur expenditures have propor-\u2018 tionately inercased during the samo period noarly 56 per cent per head.\u2018This includes charges on revenus and ail other expenditure whatever, The Pust-office Department shows an increased deficit of 200 per cent, aud the Public Works of 42 peur cent as against the 16 per cent per head of tax-paying power.Now on your public debt you have an annual interest to pay o' $7,000,000, and we have to borrow in England, it will tot be, as pretended, to pay for our rai.way construction, but the loan will have to ba applied to the payment of this enormous interest.You will go on borrowing until you have borrowed enough to pay your annual interest, but we cannot go on this way for ever, and the Hon.the Finance Minister, who says hs ia going to get what ke wants in this country in the future wiil find himself mistaken.I thisk, sir, when we consider, in contras:ing our tax-payicg power with our expenditure, and when we find that t+x-payiag power has only increased 16 per cent per head, while our expenditure has increaszd more than 50 per cent per head, the situation of this country is very critical.We have run ahead of our resources, we hava run abexd of our tux-payer, we have imitated and far exceeded ths European system.The European nations from 1864 to 1879 increased their national dabts 63 per cent, but we have doubled ours in nine years.The budgets of the whole serics of years mentioced wera iucreaséd 40 per cent, ?cent, but we have gone far beyond them ia nine years in our budget.It is quite true that our expenditure is more productive than theirs, we have not been éngaged in wars, We have expended these heavy suma by improvements, but, for all that, we have been far too immoderate in our expenditure, wa have goue far beyond our taxpaying power, and we bave surpassed the European system in the increase of our annual charge.I say we should not present such a contrast as this to immigration, there is one country which presents a contrast to the European system.While Cahada increases her national debt, while: you find Canada far surpassing the European system of increasing their national debt, the United States has presented to the pweple of Earope the unique example of an enormous reduction in its national debt, and it is to that fact that I attribute to a very great extent one of our greatest difficulties mn competing with that country for immif grante.I dare say hon.gentlemen will accuse me of baing unpatriotic, but it ia no use blinking at the facts, it is not unpatriotic to slate what is true.Sir CHARLES TUPPER.The hon.gentleman mistakes if he thinks I object to his stating the fact.Hon.Mr.BLAKE.Not only has the increased expenditure in this country been applied to improvements, but the increase also bas been applied in Europe to similar objects ; much ot it bas been expended in the construetion of the railways there, I want to know why theemigrant flying from burdens in his own country, flyimg from an enormous national debt, wnether it is not prudent for him to endeavour to locate himself in a country which- presents a coa- trast,which shows a continually decreasing debt, and which, thercfore, promisas to lighten the burdens ¢f tazation.We do mot present tnia contrast ; the United States do present that contrast.I want to know why we should uut enulate their plan in placicg this contrast before immigrants, instead of following the example in vefer- ence to high taxation ee: by the o:d countries from which we expect them to come.Before the war, the expenditure of the United States, which bad thea 27 and-a- half milliors, showed a proportion oË $2 a head.It is porfectly true that the comparison would be found with a very large reduction on that accoun! ; but, making that large reduction ; 1t is equally trae thac our system ia becoming extravagant ani onerous, and has gone beyond the increase of the tax-paying powers of the country, and itis time to call a halt.In this ex.peaditure ; there 1s included $1,272,000 for interess on the Pacific Railway.How are wo to mee: all this while our tax-paying powers hava been increasing 80 moderately, and while our expenditure has been in- creaging so rapidly, how are we to make both ends meet?Partly by loaus, and partly by: adding to the burdens of the country.You cannot make a power -to psy by adding to the taxation, of tho people.The Hon.the First Minie- A SA MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, MONDAY APRIL 19 te: showed that the difference between the | condition of thinge, the Union being Customs duty of 1868 aud 1879 was a dolla: per head, and that the increase it added Was four millions to our tax.He gave ustue figures by a rough caloulation.According to my view the figures for that period ought to be $4,500,000, and I hold tbat the way he bas computed is not a fair way of determining what the increase of the burdens to the people have been, that they have been toa much larger extent.There are three rates of tax; there is the taxation of bills, which I need refer to as & very material consideration.The excise and other items I will not refer tc, for tbe large increase in the duly on malt has qean taken off.I will take up the txcise cn spirits, and compare tho duiy on the sum of 1879 with the rates of 1880.Hon.gentlemen may say that the consumption of 1879 is tco large, that it was an abnor:nal consumption iu consequence of the rate of duty, and, thercfore, the gross tax is largér and ought to be cou- sidered in regard to this question, tut I dispute the siatewment, for it will be found that the correct average of the whole nina.years since 1871, corrected by the increaso of population,would give a consumption of 3,800,000 gallons, and thattheineor:ect average would be almost equal to the amouut ex-warehouse.I will admit the hon.gentleman does not expect to get that consumption this year, but ia my opinion the tux has gone beyozd the point at which he can ruise a revenue from it.I hope his views with reference to the more moderate use of liquor may affect the consumption, Lut I main\u2018ain that a fair estimation of this ability is the consumption of 1879, becinuze it is largely below the correct and hardly higher than tho incorrect average for ihe nine years.Then we take the duiy on tobacco in 1879 and compare it with the rates of 1880.The consumption is below the increased averag: for nina yewrs, and the incorrect average would be 8,000,000 lbs, whica s far in ejcess of the swmoun*, ex-warehouse, in 1879.Therefore, I find in exezss un increased taxation of $1,034 000 on the two aviicles of spirits and tobacco.Ihave endeavoured to ascertain what the coa- sumption is in respect to Customs, but it does not do to make the amount of gooda imported for obvious reasons.It does n t do, either for actual or comparative pur.posea,to take the amount entered in thoCu:- tom-house ; but taking the amount entered for consump: ion,the foreign grain imported, was practically in transitu.On replaciog an equivalent amount of domestic grain, you cau asceriain as neariy as the publie re- CoxC8 will permit what the c:naumption of free und dutiable articles imported was for that year.Activg on this principle, andal- ewiag for the temporary duties imposed in 1870, 2nd taken off in 1871, by a resolution which took effect prior to the resolution of 1lta April of that year, the rate of ourduty upon the amount of consumption on an average for the four years was $13.90 per cent, These I tcok to be a fair eati- mate of the incidence and burdens of our taxation upon our importations dutiable and free, during that period.If yeu make no allowance at all for these temporary dutiee, the average would give $14.21, which is an increase hardly worth speaking of.During; th: subsequent three years, the average was $12.33 of goods entered for consumption.The firat complated year, under to tariff of 1874, viz., 1875, showed a duty of $13.42, an increase of 2 per cast.for that which immediatsly preceded the rato for\u2019sx months of the current year is $19.62 as compared with $13.90, compared with the early period of which 1 have spoken.The Hon.Minister of Finance admitted that those were very large importz- tions in anticipation of the Tariff, and thu the rates were very considerably reduced owing to that fact, but tsking the increase of $5.72 p.c.or $5 34 p.c.of taxation on everything dutiable and free, not on an increase oË 5 per cent., or a 15 or 17} per cont.Tariff, but a new Tariff of 5$ per cent, ou everything you import dutiablo and free It would bs quite enough to say that the statment of sre Hon Fiuarce Minister was correct, that in 1879 more than $4,003,000 was taken out of the pockets of the peoplo than was taken during the former year; but I think that à much larger sum has b:2n added to our burdens.Well, with good times and high prices, we ought to have a revenue, when a fifth part of everything that comes into tae country, great or small, cheap or dear, free or dutiable, raw material or manufactured articles, necessary of life or luxury, is taxed to make up the average.lt should be tolerably cleur that if there is any importation at all that 1-5 should come inte the coffers oË the coun- t-7, but no considoration has been taken of any important item.We have been considering pnly the amounts that enter into the Cus\u2018oins, but the uncounted mil- lioas tbat go into the pockets of toousands of priva'e persons, that are to add to tho legitimate profits of some trades, that aro to be compeusated for tha misdirected and unprofiable application of capital, of Jabor by the mass of consumers, we aro unable to ascertain or to take into account.But this we know, that anything of this kind does not swell the public trezavry, it nfay be accepted as a fact that we have in many Cases passcd the limit of effeetive taxation.Cest .in it is that unlese the hon.gentleman has wholly misvaleulated His object, unless he bas wholly bungled in thé exercizs of the great weapcn he has used, he will have stimulated home manufactures in respect to soma of the best articles of importation.It is certain that he will have deprived the coffers of the country of the duties to be derived from these articles.Sir S.L.TILLEY\u2014As in the Uaited Siates for instance.Hon.Mr.BLAKE\u2014I do not propose to enter in\u2018o a discussion of fres-trade, nor to analyse the conditien of the Uniied States, or bow far they can play tricks with political economy.I think the distinctiors ave obviously new, I say the effect will be produced, and if there be good crops and high prices there is no doubt the Customs revenue will be increased, but ttere is no doubt also that a very large sum cf it has been diverted from tha Custom House to the pockets of individuals.It appears by the admission of the hon.gentleman, Ly the figures I have stated, that we bave largely 1ncreased the burden of our taxation, and that every dollar of interest that we are paying, and ave to pay, for the construction of the Pacifia Railway must come out of these increased taxations, or from fresh means.Is was demonstrated by the admission of the hon.gentleman and more fuliy by the arguments I have advanced, we have iucreased the burden of our taxarion largely, and it is obvious that you cannot place theadditioaal interest this outlay will inflict on us for the constrne- tion of the Pacifie Railway.I'he payment of that interest, if it were only fair and reasonable, would by the additional taxation, even apart from tue Pacific Railway, and furtber expenditure on it, be very heavy.We are still in a critical coaditior ; we are still trying our great experiment, still engaged in the effort of making bo:h ends meet ; we have not yet accomplished that feat.Tho hon.gentlewan said a mouth or six weeks ago that the reveane would be within half & million of the public requirements.I wonder \u2018whether he will say 89 when he moves the second reacing of the Supply Bill?We believe it will be a great deal more; we are not yet in a state of equili.brinin as to reczipts and expenditure ; we are epgaged in a great trade experiment.Js one great experiment not enough at à time; wonld it not ba better not to plough too deeply into experiments, speculations ard conjectures, and would it not be better, as we are engaged in this great experiment, financially, commercially and fiscally, not to enter into fresh financial engagements of an enormous character, based upon speculation and conjecture ?Are re now finally to submit the policy of Parliament, and enacted, as I have pointed ou!, four or five or several times, agreed to unanimously in 1876, that this road should be so constructed as not to increase the burden of our taxation, | because \u2018f you agree to the scheme of the Gayernment and go on with the construction of the road in British Columbia, you do finally subvert and abandon that policy, and you cannot ever recur to it, and you commit yourselves to\u2019 the construction of that z0ad irrespective to tho rate of taxation and the burdens to be imposed on the country.I ask the House not to begin that now, but, in preference, to say they will complete tho road between Fort William and Seikirk, and go on with the prairie sections and see the result of the settlement and colonization of the country particularly, and then when they have seen the result aud ascertain that there is a substantial basis on wiich, without drawing on this country the grinding taxation which is now being levied on us for the purpose, without tuis fresh taxation that the railway ba built in Columbia, then to commence its construction and not before.Consider this Confederation remember of what it is composed, how it was formed, It was formed, asa cynic has said, and may say again, as, indeed, was practically admitted by hoa.gentli- wen opposite, when they told us in 1869 that the Union was only a union on paper, and that it was the subzequent Ac a of this Union that would come into à real and permanent Union, based on ita elements on which alone a real Ucion caû be affected; it was formed as between Ontario and Quebec, rather asa divorce.Ag to Nova Scotia, she wag coerced into it and afterwards compensated for tbe logs of her honour.As to New Brunswick, sha was frightened into it and afterwards compensated, As to Mauiioba, she was hurried and coerced, as well a8 Prince Elward Island and British Columbia.Shall [ say they were seducsd juto it by pledges and promises\u2014by.at any rate, à most expensive settlement.That being the originai a union of paper as it was.I want to know what has been dome to cement it, how it now stands after all your political meagur>8 ?A Province where almost everyone ie insisting at your doors for aid in mecting ourexiravacance ; they bave come to look at us princips'ly in the cbaracter of the tax-gatherers of the Provinces, and they believe they may come as far as they please, and thet the Dominion Exchequer must fi! tha void from the collections from lavger Provinces desiroaa of paying their 8 are of throwing upon the other Prov nces, or on of tham, the balance of the liabilities.The largest of the Provinces a-ks no special advantages.She is ready to see the revenues, froma whatever quarter they come, oxpended im the best way for the general interest of the Domipicn, but she asks, and is entitled to ask for a proper economical expenditure of the r venues.All the public works of the old Prozinces are at & stand-atill ; ou\u201d shipping are depressed, and are asking for rome relief, The vast expenditure of Quebec to reach the great West is abortive for a time ; thare is no money for the ex- tezsion to the East\u2014no money for it.It cannot be done.\u2018The money must be spent in the gorges of the Frassr in British Columbia.How much less interest have we in opening up the canons and gorges of Brit\u2018sh Columbia if it be true, as your Commissioner said, that it is impossible for us with our limited means to undertake the getilement of the North\u2014West ourselves, ag wo bave neither sufficient population or money for the work?How much less are we able to add to this heavy task?The cosstruction of the Columbia section cf the Canada Pacific Railway is the true way of developing, in a poor and attenuated measure, that natioval spirit which may be looked te to support the country by-aud-by whenever it may care to take its legitimate share in the concerns of the great family of nations.This is the true wayto deve- lope the spirit of brotherly love acd unity; to consolidate the Union and give us tbe elomentg of a successful Union and make us ona people.Satisfying for a time Brit'sh Columbia ; but only as a pledge, only \u2018as its people know that when the Pacific Railway is commenced we are bound to complete it through the whole of their province to satisfy those 12,030 people at the risk of the ruining the whole Dominion\u2014this is not the way to cement the Univn or make it lasting.It is not by the restriction of trade, compelling one pers\u201d to trade with some other to his own loss.Itis not by an enormous and crushing national debt, by additional taxation raising the prices of our necessariss and diminishing the com-~ forts of our lives.It is not by flinging with livisn hand into the gorges and canons of British Columbia all you can borrow or vaise, while all the interests in older Proviuces are reported at a stand a:ill, that yon wiil cemeat and make prosperous this Union.You are making our load heivier than that of the Unitel Stites, you ars making our debt intolerabie to the poer, you are running that risk, you who so deprecate ana.xition, by the csuvse into which you have plunged tha country; you are paviag {pe way to that annexation by rendering it the only possible escape from the serious dangers with which we are meusc d.You tell us we are injuring

visionary pr.spects, risk the ruin of Jour country.) i Nr.LUNSTER took the floor and spoke up to six o'clock.AFTER RECESS.Several private Bills were advanced a stage.Tne Credit Valley Bill received its third resdiag.Mr.BUNSTER continued Lis speech, defending British Coluwbia from the as persicns cast upon it, and expressing the belief that, notwithstanding the position taken by the mewber for West Durham, tue road would be completed.Bon.H.L.LANGEVIN followed, and argaed that the members ef the present Opposi' ion hed committed themselves to the building of the entive road.Ths hon.member for West Durham had endeavour- cd to secure the support of the Irish people by pr:dic:ing tuat,with the advent to power of a Liberal Government in England, teers would dawn a brighter day for that country.Ha (Mr.Blake) hod even gone sn far as to state that he was in favour of Home Role.He (Mr.Langevin) hoped that there would be many bricht days, and many brignt years, in store for Ireland ; but be believed that the British Government, no matter what party might hold the reins of power, would do justice to that country.It required time to remedy the evils.The hon.gentleman had also sought to secure the support of the members from the Province of Quebec by complaining of the imposition of the work in the eastern section ; but his amendment had offered them no relief.Is simply said that it was not desiratle to proceed with the construe- tion of th® work in British Columbia.The Government intended to complete the entire road ; but a great work of this kind could not be built in a day.the Goverament estimates as to the cost of ths road and their policy generally.\u2018The hon.member for West Durham was responsible for tbe calling for tenders for the Yale-Kamloops section by the late Government.Ion, Mr.BLAKE\u2014How ?Hon, Mr.LANGEVIN said that the hon.genileman had continued his support to the Government of the member for Lambton and had never repudiated it.Hou.Mr.BLAKE said he bad referred to this question in his speech last night, and then stat :d that had he been in the couatry he would have opposed this action, He was out oË the couniry at the time, and, as a matter of fact, did not know until November last that tenders had been calied for.Hon.MY.LANGEVIN, continuing, charged the Opposition with pursuing an unpatriotie policy, and criticised the speech of the member for West Durham at some length.\u2019 Mr.CASGRAIN considered that the building of the Western section of the rood at the present time was too much for the resources of the country.He said that it was only by the strongest pressure that \u2018he Quebec Conservatives had been induced to support the Govarnment policy, aud said that \u2018f the carrying of the amend- meat did not involve defeat of the Government, they would voto for it en masse.He ridiculed the calculations of the Goverument as to theamouatoË revenue which they could expect to derive from the lands in the North-\\West.Mr.McINNES opposed the amendment, ad said its adoption would be a step towards the dismemberment of the Confederation, and would be a violation of faith with that Provizce.He believed that British Columbia was destined to bea great Provines, and said that inatead of , hav:n3 a population of only 12,000 it had From 25,000 to 30,000.Mr, CHAKLLON moved the adjourn- rent of the debate.(Cries of \u201c

A scene of confusion ensued, amid which the Speaker declared the motion for adjourning the debate lost.: Mr.DECOSMOS said thatif the Goverr§ ment persisted in their intention be woula talk the time out.Hathen took out of kis deck an immense pile cf documents, and ranounced his intention of proceeding wita his speech.At 240 Mr.Decoemos movel the ad- which was oar\u2019 j t of the debate, journment o \"od the ried with Sir John\u2019s consent, House # 1journed.pr MARRYING BISHOPS.Bishop Fraser \u2014\u201c Baby \u201d Fraser, as ke used to be called at the University and as he continued to be called all through his life\u2014is the third Bishop who has takea a wife within the past few years, and thus exposed himself to all the second-hand satire of Syduey Smith:\u2014\u201c How can a Bishop marry P How can he flirt P The most he can say is, \u2018 I will see you in the vestry after s-rvice\u201d\u201d\u2019 The Bishop of Kxter wes the first to break the ice and to plung into matrimony, and etill more recently the Bishop of Lickfield has been married during the occupancy of his See.But these cases are very rare, aud when a few years ago one of the most distinguish ed bishops in East Anglis, eminent for his learning, made up kiz mind to take a wife de resigned kis See and quietly retired toa cottage at Clapham, wlere be spent the rest of his days with bis books and his wife, and spent them apparently very pleusantiy.The Episcopal Beneh now numbers oaly twe bachelors, the Bishop of Durham (De.Lightfoot) and the Bishop of Bly (Dr.Woodman);

stout-hearted, patriotic men, determined to will and to do are to be found, but, unfortunately, there are also to be found a too numerous class who retard and discourage a spirit of enterprise in others.Let all euch, at least, keep silence ; if they can do no good, let them at any rate do no harm.For many years the business of this country has been most depressed, and the outlook gloomy ; but the dawn of brighter days seems at hand, The great hope of the country is now in the building up of à foreign trade, and in ordez to accomplish this we must attract to it vessels of every nation.Though ou: seaports wav be closed five months out of twelve, the remaining seven can be made fivefold greater in volume of imports and exports than at present.Montreal is, and always will be, the great commercial centre of this country, if her people will only be true to her interests, and it is a duty that we owe, not to ourselves alone, by any means, but to the whole country.The people of the West demand it of us, occupying, as we do, a position at the head of sea navigation, and we are bound to provide for the shipping facilities required, \u2018While our Western friends demand this of us,gthey freely and generously on the other hand insist that we shall be relieved of the River and Lake St.Peter debt, a tax which should never have been imposed upon us.Relieved of that Montreal can be declared a free port at once for all ves- gels, The next thing required is that the city assume the debt of the harbour ; this would prove the best investment it ever made, But another matter of no less importance demands prompt action.The item of towage is the most serious of all the obstacles in the way of shipping.The Harbour Commissioners must grapple with this evil, and mot content themselves with exhibiting a private company\u2019s tariff of towage ; they most do something in the public interest themszlves, Although the tariff referred to is 50 per cent, lower than the old Quebec one of 1872 or 1874, it is still much too high to give satisfaction to ship-owners ; better even r.tain the tonnage dues on sailing vessels, if by that means alone we can secure for them a tow- age rate that cannot be complained of.The charges for towage and pilotage tre the great drawback to trade, reduce these to & minimum, remove tonnage dues on vessels, and Montreal, as well as the whole country, will at once experience a commercial impetus never before known in her bistory.Montreal is now at the most interesting period of her existence ; her sons must be up and doing: Those occupying public positions of trust within her limits, especially, are called upon to move; and those of them who cannot or will net perceive the necessities of the times must give way to others who can.The pbople of the whole country from the Rocky Mountains to the sea are Icoking to Montreal, and demand of her citizens that, with the key of the position in their hands, they shall unlock and set free the shippin g interest of the country.A CANADIAN.M ontreal, April 17, 1880.tt tm INSOLVENT NOLICKS.QUEBEC.AssIGNEEs APPOINTED = T Girouard, Montreal, to Kehoe & Co;

personally comfortable to grow wool every day of its life.Three hundred and sixty-five days make a year.If from any cause a sheep is uncomfortable a gin- glo day, he will grow wool only 364 days in a year.If for four months at a time from ill health or lack of food or water it produces Wool only eight months ina year, there is a loes of one-third ofthe profits he would have given his owner.: À sleep out of condition is subjected to ailments that in good condition would not have affected him.Sheep fat ia the fall will go through the winter and the ordeal of lambing with safety and success.If in thin, weak condition, the relaxing of the system in spring and the extra demands of the ewe at lambing time, bring a series of diseases quite disgusting to the flock- master.No animal rewards its owner so for liberal feeding and painstaking care as does the sheep.The idea has so often been expressed that a sheep can do without food and water, that many have concluded it was true.It may live on less food (and do well) than any other animal in proportion te its live weight, but that they live by eating is sure, and the more they eat and the better bygienic treatment, the better results they give in fleece and lamb, and vigorous, long-lived usefulness.BOGUS AND COUNTERFEIT.There is no genuine Hop Bitters made or sold in Canada, except by Hop Bitters M\u2019f\u2019g Co., of Toronto, Out.,

the strong reasons which exist for making the River St.Lawrence free from excessive tolls are now fully appreciated by the best business men of Western Canada The recent deputation to Ottawa 1s the best proof of this fact.Some objec:ion has, we see, been made in Quebec, from a feeling which we do not careto characterize and do not wish to discuss,because it is useless to foment jealonsies between sister cities.We, therefore, content ourselves with remarking, that both by the guarantee of her Harbour bonds and the expenditure on the fortifications, gates, &c., which are now useless for military purposes, and only available as promoting the amenities of the city, the Government is doing so much for Quebec as to mike it very ill manners for her to object to aasistance to an arrangement which, though nominally connected with this city, is really of vital importance to every part of the country.Up to this time no assistance has ever been given by the Government to the work done in and for the harbour proper ; but, on the contrary, as was shown a few days ago by Mr, Cramp, there are several items of account amounting to large sums, which the Government still owes to the corporation charged with the joint surveillance of the harbour and of the improvement of the river.If any of these items may be objected to by cavillers, it is certain that the Harbour Trust ought to be recouped for the very large expenditure on the wharf near the Canal Basin, which has been destroyed to make room for the outlet to the Lachine Canal.If the local interest of tue harbour is to be separated from that of the river, in which the country at large has so great a concern, assuredly the Government is bound to make good the damage done .0 the harbour, even if it does not go as far as it has done for Quebec, by guaranteeing the debt.But we take a wider view than that.We say that leaving out of consideration any charges which properly fall upon the Harbour of Montreal, the cost of deepening the river is saddled on the trade of this city merely by accident.Look at the history of this great work.It was in the first instance undertaken by the Government, a few years after the union of Upper and Lower Cunads.The fact of this undertaking stamped upon the work its national character.It wae an enterprise in which the whole country felt an interest,and in which, through its agent,the Government, it took part \u2014wisely and rightfully took part.Had the scheme then adopted been successful, the deepening of Lake St.Peter and the rest of the river would no more have scemed to devolve, especial'y on the trade of Montreal, than the cost of the Welland Canal is devolved upon that of St.Catharines.The one thing is, in principle, indeed, just about as reasonable as the other.Proximity in either case woula bes the sole ground for any such charge, and it would be as applic- ablein one case as in the other but that is, not at all.Montreal becagne especially connected with the work ard the charges upon it, simply because it was thought convenient to give the control of the undertaking, after it was determined to try the new and successful scheme, to | an existing corporation, the Harbour Board of the city.But that changed nothing of the nature of the enterprise, and made it mo less than before a great national work.Indeed, in some sense of the word, that has always been recogn:zed, for the Harbour dues have been levied on all goods coming to the port as well as on those required for local consamp- tion.But this is now felt to be a very inconvenient way of procuring a revenue, and one that checks to a considerable extent the good which the country ought to derive from the river artificially mada so much more useful than it was by nature.The policy which has dictated the freeing of the New York Canal from oppressive tolls, and has at once wonderfully augmented their usefulness, commends itself not merely to Montreal men, but fortunately, some have said, to able men in all parts.The city owes much to their wise liberality.It is also greatly indebted to the late and present Presidents of the Harbour Board, to their colleagues, and to the gentlemen of the Board of Trade for their earnest and patriotic eftorts in this behalf, which wo trust are destined to be speedily fruitful, THE LENGTH OF THE SESSION.Those who predicted a short session of Parliament a few weeks ago are already shown by the fact te have been astray in the reckoning.The present sitting of Parliament cannot well be concluded till sometime in May.It is, per- Japs, useless to expect the House in fu~ ture to complete its labours much under Senor Rados, in the name of the Commit.\" MONTREAL HERArw AND DAITY COMMERC three months.À shorter session would | be desirable, if for no other reason than on account of the expense, but the tendency is towards increasing rather than limiting the volume of debate.We would not say one word to discourage questions which may come up for consideration, but at the same time we must recognize the fact that a great many speeches are made which, for all the good they accomplish in Parliament or out of it, might better never have found utterance.It is perfectly natural for members to desire to cut a good figure before their constituents, and we are unable to be anything but lenient and charitable towards them, even when it is apparent they are talking for the ear of their electors.We do object, however, to the Statement which has been going the rounds of the Ministerial newspapers to the effect that the Opposition is largely regponsible for ths length of the session.It is possible for an Opposition to be factious and unreasonable, but the conduct of the Liberal Opposition at Ottawa has been the reverse of any such attitude.Nothing could be more fair and courteous, or further from any desire to obstruct, than the manner of the Opposition in the House.The Tariff debate has been longer, perhaps, than there was any necessity of ifs being\u2014but it is very far from the truth to charge the length of the discussion upon the Opposition.Though we do say it, the debate on the Liberal side was confined more strictly to the point-\u2014was less rambling and irrelevant\u2014than that of the Ministerialists, who attempted to cover too much ground, and make out à better Government policy than the actual facts would admit of.But*considerable time was wasted before the Tariff debate began in waiting upon the Government to mature its measures, and bring down the work of the session.This fact scems to have been lost sight of by the Conservative journalists, who see so much to find fault in the conduct of the Opposition.If we are to have short sessions, it devolves upon the Ministers to be prepared to submit their returns at an early day after the assembling of Parliament, and dpon the Finance Minister to bring down his Budget sooner than Sir Leonard Tilly did this year.We by no means counsel hasty legislation.Time should be taken for the discussion and consideration of important public matters.It is, therefore, all the more incumbent upon the Government, not to keep back measures till the last days of the session, when members are restless to be relieved of their legislative duties, and disposed to pass them without giving them much attention.THECRA TEAUGUAY ELECTION

impossible to follow all the difficult phases of the candidate-prospecting which is going on among our American neighbours, in view of the appreaching Presidential election.Tilden, not without good reason, has all along been regarded as most likely to obtain the Democratic nomination, but latterly his chances have been retrograding.It is now stated in some of the leading journals that he has written a letter which is to be read before the Cincinnatti Uonvention positively declining the nomination.The opposivion of Kelly and the Tammany Ring of the New York Democratics to Mr.Tilden, while that State is regarded as the keystone ef the situa~ tion, must be perplexing to those who avour his candidature, and may be the secret of his alleged determination to retire from the field.The Republicans profess to favour Tilden because they think he would prove a weak opponent.THE LATesT CABLE News.Cables received yesterday via New York, from London, inform us that \u201cQueen Victoria

contemporary on Saturday that the Corperation should utilisethe small piece of spare land which adjoins the wheelhouse at the village of St.Gabriel for abattoirs has caused great indignation among the people of the village.J key claim that, besides polluting the water, the slaughtering house that would be erected by the butchers would be of such a rature as to tend to make an otherwise healthy place not fit to live in.They hold that the piece of land is too small for any ex- teneive buildings to be erected upen, with necessary drains, &c., for a public abattoir.Proprietors of property in the village have also something to say in the matter, and will, it is said, strenuously resist any attempt on the part of the city Corporation to depreciate their property in the neighbourhood.The idea of having it at the East End of the city seems to be in favour with the majority.THE HUDON COTTON COMPANY EMPLOYES, A question of wages has, during tho lgst few days, affected the people of the

IN THE HOUSE.THE PREMIER COMPELLED TO GIVE WAY.THE SONG OF THE N.P.From our Special Correspondent.Ottawa, April 17.Mr.DeCosmos took the floor about one ¢\u2019clock this (Saturday) morning, after Sir John Macdcnald bad announced his intention of forcing a division, and proceeded to address the House, as he said, for ome hour, two hours, three hours, four hours, any number of hours in fact.Sir John Macdonald left the Chamber at this stage, as did also many of the other members, and the general opinion was that the House was about entering upon another such extraordinary sitting as was witneased on the occa sion uf the Latellier Cebate in 1878.It wag not long ere the Commons restaurant was thronged with members engaged in fortifying themselves for the long siege in store for them, while others clustered about the smoking room, where later on one of the pages sang the solo parts, and many of the members joined in the chorus of well- known French Canadian songs.The galleries, which early in the evening had been well filled, had by this time been pretty thoroughly cleared.The ladies\u2019 gallery was entirely empty; the Senators\u2019 gallery was occupied by two dignified- looking Hansard repor ers; three sleepy- looking males took the place of the brilliant throng of the fair sex, which usually occupies the Speakers gallery, while the general gallery bad but three occupants.Tbe reporcers, always the last to desert the ship of S:ate, were nearly all absent from their posts, and merety put in a semi-occasional appearance for the purpose of wituessing the progress of events.On the floor of the Chamber general demoralization was the order of the day.Comparatively few of the members were in their seats, and most of these were nodding away.The only real live man appeared to be Mr.Landry, who never loses an opportunity of\u201d lustily crying out ¢ Hear, Hear\u201d on his fellow- mombers.Two o'clock found the House still in this disorganized condition.The M.'s P.in the chamber were sprawling about the chairs in all sorts of uu- gainly attitudes, a few ware listening with amusen ent to the somewhat disarranged remarks of the gentleman addressing the House.Ia one or two places couversational groups bad gathered.The Finance Minister was leading the House, and looked as sleepy as the other members.Mr.De- Cosmos looked compassionately upon him at times and suggested an adjournment.There was no sign of yielding, and the orator went at it again, evidently determined to fight it out on this line if it took all summer.Finally, at 2.45, Sir John Macdonaid entered the chamber, and a moment later the Minister of Justice was observed to give some word to Mr.DeCosmos, who at once moved the adjournment of the debate.Sir John cried * Carried,\u201d threw up the sponge, and thus was concluded, in a semi-respectabls manner, what bad promised to be a most disgraceful episode.The conduct of the First Minister in trying to force a decision cannot be too severely condemned, and it is ali the more discreditable from the fact that he was willing to allow the debate to close without seeking to vin- dieate the correctness of his statements as to the expected resources for the building of the road, which had been so severely criticized by Mr.Blake.The Free Press contains a parody on Tom Hood\u2019s \u2018Song of the Shirt,\u201d headed \u201c Song

what decision was taken on Wedncsnay.The \u2018Sphynx\u2019 affects mystery to the last, pleadiag that constitutional obliguwions compel him to acquaint the Qazen with his determination before the public, thus leaving the most favoured party journals ignorant of his intertions since the Council.The Queen has hastened her departure from Baden, and arrives at Windsor to-night.It is reported Earl Beaconsfield asks for an audience tomorrow, but more probably for one-on Monday.Whether the Queen will summon Earl Granville or Mr.Gladstone is still unknown.\u2018ithe popular demand for Mr.Gladstone hgs gathered force bourly during the week.The Queen is publicly entreated by the Liberal joarn- als not to allow parsonal antipathies to oppose the national wish.Private despatches from Hawarden, Walmer and Newmarket say that a perfect understanding exists between Mr.Gladstone and Lords Granville and Har:ington respecting the leadership, all tending to over-poweriag evidence that iv is necessary for Mr, Gladstone to resume power, Itis doubtful if this is true of Earl Granville, but the Whig section of the party, Earls Hartington and perhaps Granville excepted, are obstinately pessimist in opposition to Mr.Gladstone.Sir William Harcourt\u2019s long known dislike to Mr.Gladstone will not prevent his accepting that statesman as his leader, though on being asked to name the Premier, he desired to be oracularly announced as ignorant.Everything points to the discomfiture of this section.The Standard declares that Mr.@lad- stone has been indicated for the Premiership by an informal plebicitum.The Times, after an unavailing straggle, has confessed the necessity for his presence in the Cabinet.Itis thought, is hopes, Le may hold a subordinate place.Yesterday it likened Mr.Gladstone to a professional cardsharper, unable to quit the gaming table.The Pall Mall Gazette, while bitterly detesting Mr.Gladstone, announces sorrowfully that only bis own refusal can interpose between him and the headship of the Government, Mr.Gladstone now allows his intimates to understand that he considers himself obliged to sacrifice personal preferences and accept the Premiership if offered.Ho arrives in London on Monday, and unless unforeseen complications occur, he will be Prime Minister \u2014\u2014 before the end of the week.Conj-ctures regarding the subordinate offices partly depend on the settlement of the Premiership.It is considered cer:ain that Earl Granville, Lord Hartington, Hon.Mr.Forster, Lord Selborne, the Duke of Argyll, Lord Kimberley, Sir Charles W.Diike, Professor Fawcett, Sir William Harcourt, Lord Northbrook, Lord Roseberry, and Mr.Bright, may, if willing, be members of the new Cabinet.The probab'lities include Lord Ripon, Lord Lansdowne, Mr.Childers, Mr.Goshen, if he waves his objections to the county franchise, and perhaps Mesers.Stansfield, Chamberlin, or Mundells, with probably two or three ornamental Whigs holding dignified sinecures.The moderate Home Rulers rejoice at Mr.Shaw\u2019s election for county Cork by a great majority, notwithstanding the desperate efforts to defeat him.The Parnellite members number 24, Mr.Shaw\u2019s followers 36.The strength of Parncll\u2019s band exceeds the calculations, but the Tories show little inclination to accapt his proffered alliance.It will be ampossible for him to find support for his agrarian schemes in the House, and b's avowed intention to resume ebstruc- tion is likely to meet with sterner resistance than Sir Stafford Northeote offered.The Liberals exprees their intention to consider all constitutional Irish demands and concede everything reasonable, They wiil mark their sympathy by acceptable appointments, and will probably make Mv.Forster Irish Secretary aud Lord Dufferin Lord «Lieutenani.A recent conversation with Dean Stanley regarding the Napoleon memorial indicates that the Dean only desires a sufficient - excuse to exclude the memorial from Westminster Abbey.It is reported that M.Leon Say, the new French Ambassador, among his first diplomatic duties, intends to sub- mi a remonstrance against the meino- rial, Mr.Irving decides to abandon his intended visit to America this year owing to the extraordiaary success of the \u201c Merchant of Venice,\u201d which continues to draw overflowing honses.He hopes to go to America the following autumn.Negotiations are still proceeding between him and a New York manager.Powis, April 18.M.Da Lesseps thinks the cutting of the Panama Canal would not be nearly so difficult as that of the Suez, and 1s 1ejulved to demonstrate.thig in every great town in the world.If The United States Government then stands in ths way of the canal it will bave the uni: verse acainst it, including all intelligent Americans.Ia conversation with a group of friends at Madame Adams\u2019 salon M.De L:sseps intimated in effect that he will carry on his enterprise in concert with the United, Stares if possible, but if not with the rest of the world.In Bonapartist circles a stir has been caused by a letter from Princess Clothilde to her son Victor, warning him not to follow Prince Napoleon\u2019s impions example.The expediency is deb.ted of declaring Victor the Bonapartist heir as he is approaching his eighteenth year.If he breaks with Prince Napoleon the Empress Eugenie will provide the funds necess:ry for an independent establishment.The Princess Clothilde was moved to interfere by her husband's letter in the French journals taking -part with the Government against the Jesuits.AMUSEMENTS.\u2014 0 Academy of Music.5 WELLINGTON DR BOOTS.\u201d The Felix Morris Company gave their final performance on Saturday night to a rather slim heuse, caused, no doubt, by the hard state of the weather.The Company leave this morning for Ottawa, where they play for three nights.BANDMANN, This great tragedian takes his farewell benefit to night previous to starting to San Francisco to fill asix weeks\u2019 engagement there at Baldwin\u2019s Opera House.It is unnecessary for us to speak in words of praise of the scholarly attainments and genuine abilities as a Shakespearian interpreter of Mr.Bandmann.He has for years held the premier place on the stage as a conscientious delineatorof character,both in tragedy and comedy.Correct and instructive in his reading, he has won the respect and esteem of all those who feel that the stage, when legitimately worked, can be of the greatest servige in upholding morality in all phases of society.His many friends in Montreal, and they can be counted by hundreds, could not see him go away from the city and the Dominion without, in some slight way, showing the respect in which he is held by the community.A benefit night was offered to him and accepte, and we are glad to state that so heartily was the matter taken up by his friends that on Saturday evening there was hardly an orchestra chair to be had for love or money.The \u2018¢ Stranger\u201d and \u201cDon Cesar de Bazan\u201d are the pieces chosen for presentation, and from all we know of Mr.Bandmann and the artists, both ladies and gentlemen who support him, a performance way be looked for to-night that has not been seen.in Montreal for years.Mrs.Bandmann, Miss Aicken and Miss, Amelia Herbert stand in the front rank of their profession as genuine artists, while Messrs.Wilmot Eyre, Percy Lyndal and Gofton take no second place in their several roles, Let there be a bumper house to-night, one that will show that Montrealers can appreciate true and Lonest merit.A \u201c BILLY\u201d FLORENCE AND TRE ¢* MIGHTY DOLLAR.\u201d Next Wednesday Mr.and Mrs.Florence, with their excellent company, opers for a short season at the above house in B.E.Wolf*s comedy of \u2018 The Mighty Dollar,\u201d a work which has won a national popularity second to few American plays, a framework for a vein of the keenest satire in the characters of the Hon.Bardwell Slote, a type of a certain phase of political life, and (Mrs.Gen.Gilflory, a woman whose identity can at once be recognized by any one at all familiar with some of the female fruit of the American colony in Paris.The Chicago Tribune speaks of the performance in the following terms : \u2014\u201c Mr.Florence pictures with admirable force, in Bardwell Slote, the vulgar, overreaching trickster, the link in rings, and a leader in steals, who infests political life, and while the actor makes us laugh, he gives us something for reflection.\u2018The humour that lurks in a word, or a phrase, or à movement is keenly relished by this actor.What he thus appreciates he hap~ pily conveys, and he never overstrains to do so, and, therefore, never oversteps ihe boundaries ot satire and stumbles into burlesque.The latter remark may be truthfully applied to Mrs.Florence in her assumption of Mrs.Gilflory, the type of feminine shoddyism who has \u201clived so long abroad \u201d that hef speech has become inoculated with bad French, and her figure has become a peg upon which to hang dresses cut in extravagant styles, and made out of flaming colours, ln the hands ot this actress the personation is a subtle de- rotemen: of character and satire.Her affection, her grand air, is very jocose, her eternal * Libby dear \u201d isamusing, and her absurd mixture of ioreign places, names, and dates, all given with an absolutely, straight face, is exceedingly rich.\u201d Mrs.W.J.Florence, voige by.the Al bany Mirror, states wh 8 about good clothes.She says thai ladies while being fitted by their dressmaker should stand perfectly erect, and not permit their shoulders to drop when tired.This prevents bagging in seams below the waistline.The corset should be good, light, pliable and well.fitting.French modistes, she says, swindle American womed, especial.y those who do not spegk French and have no decision.She says that in packing costly clothing®ne trunk should be used for dresses alone, each dress having its particular tray, and having the skirts, each puff and fold being kept out by wads ot soft, yellow tissue paper, with every button and piece of fringe covered or un- derlaid, and the top tray covered with fine cotton batting aud oiled silk.Seats for for the ¢ Mighty Dollar\u201d can now be secured for each evening and matinee on Saturday at De Zouche\u2019s music store, NORDHEIMER'S HALLE.HERRMANN Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather on Saturday, Nordheimer\u2019s Hall was well filled to witness the performances of Professor Herrmann, and it is safe to say that not an individual in the vast assemblage regretted having been present, Herrmann as & necromancer is certainty without a peer.He performs his tricks with lightning rapidity and with a finish that almost stamps them as realities.The tricks were so @umerous that it is im possible to give even an rdea of the way in which they were présented.The ventriloquist, Val Vose, is also à great novelty, and an artist of & peculiar kind, The city has seen nothing like him before, and will not do so again for many years.The Lorellos are too well-known in this city to need mention here, for their approximation to the Majilton\u2019s is surprising.Thisevening an addition will be made to the pro- grainme, when Mlle.Addie will make her first appearance in this city.There will doubt be a crowded house, as there should be.1HE LIEUT-GOVERNOR.His Honour Lieut.-Governor Robitaille, on Saturday afternoon.gave a levee at the Windsor Hotel.Capt, Shephard and Majo: Hatton acted as Aides de-camp, but their duties were not onerous, for owing, no doubt, to the unpleasant state of the weather, the visitors were not 80 numerous as might have been expected.ANOTHER LUGAN INCENDIARISM AN UNSUCCESSFUL ENDEAVOUR.Lucan, April 18.The livery stable belonging to Mr, Jas, Creighton, Main street, wag nearly being the scene of a serious covflagration under the following circuinstances :\u2014The building is a frame one, and contained five horses, begides the usual outfit of carriages, &:.In one corner of the building # room was partitioned off which was used as harness room and bedroom for the stable boy.The stable was carefully locked last evening, and two boys, Simon Howe and Willis Atkinson, retired about 10 o\u2019clock.They had also as companion a large mastiff.About three o\u2019clock this morning Atkinson was seized with a violent cramp, and in order to get rid of this, he jumped out of bed, opened the door and went out into the statle part, and immediately he discovered a light overhead where several tons of hay were stored.He rushed back and awoke his companion.The boys were somewhat afraid to venture up stairs, but called the occupant of the next houee, Mr.James Watts.On his arrival they went up and found a wax candle three inches long sticking in the hay-pile aod burned down to within one half inch of the hay.Five minutes more and it would be impossible to tell where the conflagration would have ended.The en] trance was effected through a side window in the lower storey under which a large packing box was placed.The most mysterious part of the affair is that a large black bottle which, the boys are potitive, stood behind their bedroom door when they went to bed was found on the hay up stairs about three feet from where the candle was.The theory afloat respecting the bottle is that it was taken as a test to ascertain whether the boys were sound a leep or not, and that such a precedure would not have been attempted by any stranger.The owner of the premises, Mr.James Creighton, says, to his knowledge, he has not an-enemy in the world, without the fact of his being one of the jurors empanelled to enquire into the cause of the late fire in the O'Connor residence, would be the cause of any person entertaining an ill-feeling against him.DEATHS.On the 16th inst., of consumption, Alzira Dean, beloved wife

to the jury in the caee of the Hamilton Powder Company on Saturday morning upon the opening of the Court.He denied that 70,000 pounds of explosives had been stored in the magazine at Belœ:l, and ridiculed the idea that an explosion, in any case, would cause the wide-spread devastation predicted by some of the witnesses for the prosecution.He classed the evidenca acder threo heads\u2014that of the neighbours, the prosecution, and the opinions of learned professors who had been brought forward.The first two classer, he felt, had been fully dispused of.That of the skilled chemists consisted simply of theories of their own, whiclr were borao out by the fact that they all differed in their opinions, as did also lawyers and juries, doctors and homeepa- thists.He contended that the defence bad been proved satisfactorily by no less than five witnesses that dua- line was safer than gunpowder and of far greater utility, He reviewed the evidence minutely, and concluded an elcquent appeal to the jury by expressing the confidence he fels in their recdering an impartial verdict.Mr.Macrar, Q C., for the Crown, claimed that the case was one of life and death to many pecple who might be passing on the line of railway when an explo-~ sion tcok place.The evidemce of the Americab professors of chemistry to the effect that not the elightest danger of an explosion nced be apprehended at Beleil, was of no moment.\u2018I'hey spoke flippantly, as if dualine was a harmless liquid, while he contended the defence ignorea the really pertinent evidence given by several distinguished Canadian professers.Among other things hoe exhibited to the jury the way-bills of the Hamilton Powder Company, showing that the dualine had been shipped to Stratford under the name of blasting powder.Mr.W.H.Kerr, Q.C, followed.After referring to the importance of the case he went on to say that all the witnesses on both sides had admitted the danger of tho manufacture of the compound called dualine.They had been told that there was danger in the mixing, danger in the washing of the nitro-glycerise, while con- cuasion of the compound was sure to cause an explosion.In regard to the scientific evidence, all the witnesses had admitted that nitro-glycerine and its compounds were highly explosive.The learned counsel then referred thelCourt to the statutes \u2018concerning the storage of gunpowder in magezines, showing that they must be constructed in a certain way and located at a distance of five miles from apy city or town, and at least fifteen acres from any puklic thoroughfare.His Honour then addressed the jury a some length.He reminded them tiat, after due cunsideration, they had nothing to consider, except the first and fifth counts inthe indictment,giz., tbe manufacture and storage of the substanee called dua- lige.He would express no opinion, but leave it to them to decide whether such a large quantity of explosive mate;ial was dangerous to the ps:ople living in the vicinity of the worke.The jury ratired at 420 p.m., and aîter some hours of consultation, came into Court acd stated that they could not agree, thereupon His Honour discharged them.It is understood that the jury were almost unapimoeus for acquittal, standing eleven for to one againat.INSOLVENT COURT.In this Court, on Saturday morning, Mr.Justice Torrance rendered a very long and claborate judgment in the Bell case.His Honour sustained the pretentions of Mr.Keller, holding that all the writs of attachment issued, under the late Insolvent Act on the first ot April were worthless.No part ef a day was known under our law, consequently the Act, though receiving the Royal sanction only at three o\u2019clock in the afternoon, nevertheless took effect in the morning.\u2018I'he writ of attachment against Mr.Bell way therefore quashed with costs.WEATHER REPORT.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Montreal, April 17.TEMPERATURE\u2014In the shade by Standard

the Waichman :\u2014 The Rev.William N.Clarke, D.D,, who has been pastor of the church at New- ton Centr: since 1869, hes resigoed that impor:ant charge and accepted the call of the Olivet Baptist Church, in Montreal, Canada.It isa loss not only to.Massachusetts, but to the United States.But in this case we shail hope that before long there will be unmistakable \u2018 1-adings of Providence\u201d to bring Dr.Clarke buck to his native land.Meanwhile the church to which he goes is to be congiatulated on the acquisition of such a preacher as is not to be had every day.In another sense Dr.Clarke's removal is a national loss.For his pen has for four years enriched the columns of the Waichman with the larger part of its notices of new books, and with some other comtributicns.Whatever he has done was done well, We are happy to say, however, that Dr.Clarke will still be a contributor, we trust a frequent gun- tributor, to the Watchman.Me.Hammond's MerTING.Last night the Firs: Baptist Church was crowded to its utmost capacity by an audience who listened with solemn attention to Mr.Hammond\u2019s discourse, several parts of which caused a very deep

of poor people which was about to be heid.She expressed her desire 10 see them and went on her way.The lady asked ker if she would like to speak to them ?The Princess said: « Yes, but do not tell t&m who Lam.\u201d he lady, during the conversation, said: * Would your Royal Highness excuse me if I asked when you first felt that you were sav.d ?\u201d ¢ Well,\u201d said the Princess, \u201c À poor

SPEECH.HOUSE OF COMMONS.- Ottawa, April 16.Hon.Mr.BLAKE went on to say it will be found that the map which the hon.gentleman brought down last year is not at all \u201c brown\" enough with reference to the North-West.It does net, by any means, accurately represent the extent of bad and inferior lands in the North-West.The kcu.gentleman stated that he estimated there were 160,000,000 acres cf available land, but be did not state all that was arable or wheat land.It will be found that tie number of acres of wheat land are not :o be measured by anything like those figures.It will be found, also, that other circumstances coucur to prevent 1i8 being possible that the high-priced lands clcse to the railway belt should be taken up.There ia Bad land close to the rail- rcad, in many places swamp and inferior land.Thesa and other considerations show that, both with reference to the suggested average, obtainable as it is only by assuming that the lands near the railway are all good lands, and the general rate of prices obtainable, only by an exaggerated view as to the quantity of first-class land, the expectation of the hon.gentleman is likely to be realized at all.Now it is obvious, that if there be bad lands close to the railway, the settlers will not pay $5 an acre for them.There is no objection to being near the railway.If you can raise nothing which yon can send away, you would rather be 50 miles away aud raiso 8 crop than close to the line and raise nothing.Auother circumstance which vitiates this estimate is that the settlers will not buy railway lands as long as free grants are obtainable.I spesk in the large.Of course there will be instances in which a man will buy railroad lands, and the capitalist who wants more than 300 acres will, doubtless, buy railroad lands.But, speaking generally, you will fiad few purchasers of railway lands, so long as free gratis are obtainable.Thera is a reason why they should not.They get 160 acres free, and the remainder on mors favourable terms than the purchaser of railway lands, and, therefore, there will be in those earlier years fewer purebasers, of railway lands than the hon.gentleman calculates.Another reason why there will be fewer purchases by settlers of railway lands is that the hon.gentleman has placed a barrier to such purposes by opening the railway lands to epeculators.Speculators are following, day by day, and hour by hour, in the track of the surveyors, finding out where are the best sections, and their entries are in the Land Office when the Department comes in, not with a view of settloment, but with the view of taking, what people on the English Stock market call *\u201c a long shot,\u201d with the view of investing 10 cents an acre in dollar lands, or 20 cents nn acre in $2 lands, in the expectation that, sa a few years, the development of the country will enable them to exact higher terms from the settlers who come in.The hon.gentleman may delude this House, by a return this year or the next, into the notion that he is going to make a great deal of money by selling the railway lande, because he is selling a large quantity of lands in which the purchazers are paying only 10 cents an acre, but the returns from railway lands will be what settlers will pay ; those from settlers will be but insignificant ; what the settlers will pay is the measure of the true value of those lands to us, and you are deliberately marring the chances of settling that country when yon place in the hands of speculators, upon the payment of 10 cents an acre, the choicest part cË the railway lands, leaving it to them to de- t&rmine how soon and at what price the intending immigrant gets them, and begins to make them valuable and productive to himself and the country.Then it is pretended that the pre-emptors will, at the end of three years, pay in bulk four- tenths of their pre-emption with the interest.The hon.gentleman seriously suggests that, from this source, he will receive ab the end of three years, for the firs: iustalment only, $30,000.Men who go in in 1880 will in 1883 pay in $928,000, the next lot will pay $928,000, the third $1,160,000, and so oa until 1890, when the sum to be paid in will be $1,567,000.I quite agreo with the hon.gentleman that the free grant settlers will take up their pre-cmptions.- No doubt they will enter fer them and proceed to improve them in part, but there is equally little doubt that when the end of the three years comos rouud the hon.gentleman\u2019s coffers will not be much fuiler by reuson of these pre-emp- tions becoming due.I do not mean tosay he may not ultimately realize it, but I am talking of his calculations, that he will build this railway in 10 years by receipts from these lands, I say, that all the exporieuce of all Governments, with re- forence to sales of public lapds is that the settler is slow to pay\u2014is the hon.gentleman going to tell these men who have been doing «ll they can to cultivate these lands during three years that unless they pay up their pre-emption money they will forfeit their pre-emption ?Is he going to use the landlord policy with reference to thosa settlers?Is he going to evict them?No he hos no intention of doing thst, ke will not even threaten them.Judgipg from all experience the result will be that the settler will fael secure, will feel that it is not necessary for him to pay promptly, consequently the calculations based upon the revenue from these lands wiil be wholly falsified; The hon.gentleman expects to receive in the fourth year $1,820,000, in the following year $2,622,000, in the next year $3,230,- 000, in the next year $4,042,000, in the next year $5,058,000, in the next year $6,833,000, in the next $6,877,000, while the last year of this series of arithmetical progression will yield about $7,600,000, to be received in cash from the sales of the North-West lauds, an aggregate of $3&,593,000.Now I venture to say if every one of these calculations be realized, if the hon.gentleman gets into the country the amount of emigration he expects, and at the time he expects, if he makes sales to the number and at the prices he expects, these calcu~ lations will under no circumstances be realized, under no circumatances will he receive these sums, or anything like them.\u2018The receipts frcm sottiera in earlier years will be relatively small sums, and not before the settlers acuieve prosperity and become able to pay will you find these lands becoming a source of revenue to this country.Even according to my calculationshe would be receiving in tiæ fourth year but $1,- 221,000 rusnivg up to nearly $5,000,000 in the last year, su that these corrected caleu- lations are as prepostercus as the original.Then the hop.geatleman takes up the question of the expenses of management and surveys which he estimates at $2,400,~ 000.Now, judging by the resulta in tbe United States, that also ia quite too low.You will remember that there was an enormous acreage to be surveyed.lf all landswere fairly good, lands and survey should be conducted only abreast of the settlement you would require to survey 49,300,000 acres to effect the settlement hon, gentlemen expect, not that that much will be taken up by that number of persons, but to enable the free-granters to taks up the grants he expects to be taken up, but that is on the assumption that all the land to be surveyed is good land and will be taker up.I say tbat is an asscmption we can reasonably act upon, and that it is more correct, perhaps, to conjecture, as we are now in the region of conjecture that 80,000 000 will be the amount of acres required to be surveyed, than the conjecture that the number.I do not know what the emigration policy.of Government is to be, whether they intend largely to increase expenses for that purpose or not ; but it is obvious that if these lands aro to be productive, the cost of rendering them 80 by inducing emigration into that country must become the first charge upoa the lands that, with the cost of surveys and management, should reasonably be deducted from net procceds of lands before you can ascertain what will be the sum you can depend upon.I maintain the whole thing is visionary.When the hon.gentleman opened his remarks he de- pied a certain postulate to be granted to him hy declaring that he would prove his figures to a demonstration, and then at the end he cfered us to abate one half; if you will not, says he, take the whole of my \u2018estimate, take one half.A calculation commencing so pretentiously, and terminating in so humiliating a manner, was hardly, perhaps, worthy the serious attention 1 bave been compelled to ask the House to give it.Now with referenca to the application ot this money.In the announco- wentof the First Minister he took $38,6:0,- 000.That wasto be rec:ived in the 11 years, and deducted at the close of the period $2,400,000, the ne: cash coming in being $36,200,000.UCU to be epent on the Pacific Railway, and there is a small balance due ot $24,000,000, and yet the hon.gentleman tells us that the cust of the road is to be repaid out of the land sales; but that is not the true state of the account, even the $18,000,000 the Hon.Finance Minister was wiiling to deduct does not represent the true state of the case.As I said the other evening, we shall have epent up to the 30th of June $15,000,000, in round numbers, on the Pacific Bailway, and the interest on which, at 4 per cent., would amount to about $1,272,000 up to that period, but taking the figures of the Minister as given the other night, namely, an expenditure of $10,000,000 a year for the fires two years and $5,000,000 a year for each of the following years, and taking the 1eccipts from Jthe lands as the Minister future of our Set this against the $60,600,- estimated, the result would bea yearly deficiency for interest so large as to run up into the sixth year to $698,000, before the account got te the credit side at all.The account getsthe creditiside in 1887and | from that time the intcrest is paid, and something goes towards principal, but the practical result would be a éredit according to that calculation, at the close of the term, of $12,631,000 to the ocapi- tal account of the Pacific Railway.But, according to the true calculations to which, I have refcired,tterewould have been a deficit on interest swelling each year unt:1 it reached asum of over five millions, and that would have gone duwn till it reached it reached $1,478,000, the practical result being that at the close of the term there would be nothing done except to pay the interest on the cost of construction and the whole capital account with a portion of interest would remuin due.When.it is remembered that this calculation was based upon visionary estimates, 1 think.as business men, honeurable gentlemen can mot build largely on the taxes of this country being redeemed on the construction of this railway within the next few ycars, my conclusion is this that, although these might be received, and he hoped they would reccive in the time to ,come a considerable revenue from our lands in the North-West, yet they could not, as prudent men, expect that we should receive such a considerable sum or anything approaching that sum, or anything approaching one-half that sum which \u2018tho Honourable Minister had brought before the Xouse.\u2018They could not expect with an immediate charge and strain\u2019 upon the resources of the country involved in the Ministerial programme which would be presently borne cut of the receipts from lands, that they must look, therefore, to our other resourced for the present bearing of that strain, and that when these receipts did comé in, they would come in to recoup us for long years of arrears of interest and would not do much towards the liquide- tion of the public debt, I have no wish to restrict any expenditure which is essential to us for the settlement of the country.I wish the House to understand that that is, at any rate, no part of my policy.If the House believed that we have a prospect there, I wanted us all to unite in the effort to realize that prospect.I wish us to direct qQur exertions to every step that will be calculated to make the best of the country; to settle it atthe earliest diy ; to give it as soon as possible a productive populaticn and make it an influential portion of the Dominion.It is becausa I want the experiment to hava a fair chance of success, because I beli-va that, commit:ed as-we are to the view that it is our duty and our interest, I implore the House to direct its undivided attention to applying the resources of this country exclusive to that bone cf the whole enterprise, without the success of which there cannot bu a Pacific R-ul vay from sea to sea, without tha success of which it and per haps wo must fall to the wind.Prudence in our expenditure is essential to the exclusiveness of settlement.Do hon.gentlemen suppose that those intelligent persons who were about to emigrate to this couatry would be attracted, ot the reverse, by the proposal to expend thirty millions in the gorges of British Columbia ?Do they sup- puse that the suggestion that we can afford to increas: the burdens of the country by this large sum presently because these people would pay it in taxes and land is en- couragiag them to gointo that country?Do they suppose that these people reading tho principles and programms of the Administration upon this subject, and understanding that this expenditure is to be presently incurred because they wiil all pay for it, are not likely to say : * Perhaps we had batter not come.Perhaps wo had beiter not ba the partakers in this gigantic undertaking, if we are also to be the dis- bureers.\u201d\u201d Prudence in the limitation of our burdens with reference to the increasa of the national debt, with reference to the very enterprise we are undertaking at the pamo time that we are undertaking the gettiement of this country, is an essential condition to the success of our enterprise in colonization.Our position is critical and we must husband our resources for what that critical position may demand.The Hon.Miuister stated last night that Canada stood in a critical pssition.I agreed with him, and standing lu that position, more critical in my view, perhaps, than in the hon.gentioman\u201ds, it is doubly necessary that we should take care not to undertake more than is deemed by both sides essential to the success of the future of our country.If the expectations of the Government are realized, if they reccive this large sum within the short period they bave predicted, if within four or five these sums were paid into the Treasury, then it will Rp time enough to bslieve that there is a practical basis upon whica buei- ness men can Act.'I'ime enough there is then to believe that we have a basis upon which we can proceed to build in British Columbia.Then kon.gentlemen can honestly tell their constituents that there is money to be got from the lands out of which the railway can be buils withoat further adding to the burdens of the country.But.in the meantime, hon.gentlemen caumot honestly say this, they cannof show that the resources of this country, without further adding to its burdens, without using our other taxes for the purpose, are sufficient to build the railway to British Columbia, and I for one stand opp.sed to the expenditure of our public money in any such away.In order properly to understand what our coadition is, irrespective of this question of resources and of land, it is neccesary to look into the condition of the country.There exists à state of things of which it is extremely difficult to form an estimate.Fortunately hon.gentlemen ars called upon to form an estimate now, not for one or two years, but for a sories of years.They have a policy before them,änd they are, therefore, called upon to measure the future of this country for a long term.The best plan is to look back a little and understand if, from the lessons of the past, we can derive any light to be shed upon our future progress.I.is extremely difficult, as I have said, to deal even in a series of gears with the question of the progress of this eountry and the vicissitudes of the seasors upon which depend our main iedosiry and source of wealth.Tne changes in tho market of the world, of the price of grain, the changes in the price of lumber, our principal articles of export, the changes in the world\u2019s trade, depressious end infl :tions, which result in alterations in the profits of our shipping businese, aro all cireum- stances that render 1t an extremely difficult task for a Finance Minister, frm time to time, to learn to forecast tue future of Canada, even for a short 18 monthe.It is, then, with unfeigned diffidence that I ven'ure to offer some general observations with reference to the past as throwing some light on the country.For three years after Confederation the amount of our imports was almost stationary.'L'he tiuies were hard.That period was followed by three or four years of tremendous inflation, The hon.member for Gloucesier (Mr.Anglin) has referred to one circam- stance which, no doubt, reduc:s to some extent the apparent amount of our importe, namely, our illicit trade with the United States.There ie, also, the excessive values of commodities.These circumstavces uo doubt ure to be considered with reference to our apparent inflation, bus apart from the question of that elicit trade, and notwithstanding these icflated values, they proved that we have got less for our money.They did not prove that we paid less money.After this period of four years there followed four years «f widening and deepening depression, and the first question he put was how far tax-paying powers had increased since 1871, when 1t was resolved that we should not increase the existing rate of taxation in order to complete the Pacific Railway.Two factors which had to be considered in order to solve his question were: lst, the increase of our population ; secondly, the increase of cur resources.\u2018The increase of population did not necessarily mean an increase of tax-paving power.I believe that relatively the people of Canada are not able to pay more taxes than in 1871.Thera has been enormous shrinkage in the lumber trade from $20,000,000 to $13,000,030 ; there have been many bad crops, there have been shrinkage in bank stocks, a pumber of these institutions having been sWept away altogether ; there have been depreciations in real estate, not so much as compared with 1871, but sufficient to be destructive of any increase between 1871 and 1879.There have been general and long- prevailing states of depression, besides this there have been lavge increases in public, provincial municipal, corporaticn and private indebtedness.Any one who listened to tke debate oa the Bill to regulate interest could not but be appalled with the ecmount loaned on mortgage in the Province jof Outario.Added to all this there bas been an upward turn in the price of gold, which is unfavouruble to all borrowing communities.Against these have to be set the expenditures which have taken the form of assets, but these are represented 10 pari by premature or misdirected applications of capital.No one will preteud that the Intercoionial Railway, built a8 it has been, is a good commercial speculation, and several railroads in Ontario have been constructed at a time when they coula not be made to benefit the public.Mary of these public works will in future be very valuable, but at present they do not form auy present addition to our resources.The tax-paying power cf tha people of Canada, man for may, is no greater than in 1871.\u2018The proof of that is that we aro actually paying less ; for four years our imports have been diminishing.Last year they reached the lowest point for nine years.It is true our people are buying less nomival value because gocds are cheaper and they get mor@for their money ; but that observation does not hold good, for the values in 1871 reached their maximum and are not go far above those for 1879 as to account for this difference in the amcunt of importations.Speaking generally and in view of the histcry of the last decade, Canada cannot expect a rapid ipcreass of her resources.I hope for progress, though it will be burdened by cur Tariff loaws.The bor.gentleman opposite have hoped for progress on account of Tariff loans.Both agreed in hoping for progress.That there will be pregress I have no doubt, bat I think it will not be such as to interfere with the correctness of the calonlations I am making.I believe that hard work, gradual accumulation and rigid economy is the fate of this country as a whole, au\u201c,individually, I regard it as not an unhappy fate at all, as it has its compensating advantages.From our climate and resources and other circumstances we learn, from the necessities of our situation, virtues which go far to compsensate\u2014I will not say they bave compcusated\u2014for the prospects of greater material prosperity which existed in other landes ; but we must learn theso virtnes and practice them, too, and when you find apparent progress by leaps and bounds, you may eonclude that that progress is more fictitious than real, and will be followed by digaster.We may, as Lho bon.gentlaman stated the other night, nuæbar our population at four millions or, at the rate of census, four and-a- millions, that is including all the new Provinces.I have an interesting table for the first tun years after Confedaration, and which will answer the hon.gentleman's query the other day in reference to the tax paying powsr of Manitoba and Fritih Columbia, when he asked why it should not equal the expenditure, assigning to each Province its local expenditure, iss share of, the Federal expenses assigned to each Province, and its share of the same expenses not assigued ?The results are these : The expenditure for Manitoba was $1,699,000 ; the revenue was $877,000; deficit, $722,000; or very early two dollars expended for one dollar of revenue.For Prince Edward\u2019s Isiaud the receipts were $1,596,600.while the expenditure amounts to $2,624,000, deficit $1,027,000.For British Columbia the receipts amount to $2,558,000, while the cxpenditure wus $3,441,600, defizin $883,- 000.Nova Scotia expenditure waa $21,- 175,000, and its reveuus was $19,115,000, leaving a detiots of $2,060,000.Then there are the joint and Norih-Weat Estimates, the joint including =\u2014 Confederation charges, Civil Goverament and legislation, other.sources no: assigned to the different Provinces, interest on bonds of public debt, and all expenditure in the acquisition of the North- West and other North-West services, and including interest on the public debt ir- curred for the Pacific Railway.The receipts were $7,600,000.The exponditure wag $30,581,000, lsaving a deficit on this point of $42,982,000.Add to this deficis the total deficits of tho several Provinces which I have just gone over, end we have a grand total of deficits amounting to $49,667,000.Now we come to the surpluses.The revenue of the Province f Now Brunswick waa $7,705,600, expenditure, $7,640,800, leaving a surplus of $508,000.Tho revenues for Oatario and Quebec amount to $49,160,000, expendi tures $94 340,080, a surplus of $55,820,000, thus making, with the New Brunswick surplus, a total surplus for these three Provinces of Quobec, Oatario and New Branswick of $56,328,000 to ba applied to the deficits before enumerated, and amouating in the total of $47,674,000, and leaving a net balance of $8,654,000.We fiud, therefore, that Oataris and Quebse have to provide and have provided for tha bulk of this vast exçonditnre resulting from the confederation of tho various Provinces comprising the Dominion, New runswick having supplied æ very small amount.I have not divided Ontario and Quebec, but, taking n few of the great heads or ilems, à c:mparison may ba made thus: \u2018Lhe exciss duties of Oatario amounted to $26,723,000.Thos of Quebec $136,276,000.The Customs duties for Ontario, including those on dutiahle goods going into Ontario, though passed through Montreal, amounted to $60,725,003.The Customs duties for Quebec amounted to $11,966,000.I know that thess figures may be disputed in some respects by the people of the Maritime Provinces as 10 the particular items which have referagce to expenditure on the Intercolonial Railway.I know it is contended, whether rightly or wrongly, that this expenditure should be entered as a general charge against the whole Dominion and not charged separately against the Provinces, I stato this in order that the Ilouge may understand these figures may be somewhat affected in that re- spact, al:hough the result will not be materially altered on that account.It will be seen from these statistics that the new Provinces are not very large contributors to the net revenue of this Dominion, and it will be further seen that the bulk of the expenditure is contributed by the Province trom which I havethe honour to come.The figures I have given show our tax-paying power has increased sinca 1871 at the rate of 16 per cent, but while cour taxpaying power has only increased according to the population at the rate of 16 per cent per head, eur expenditures have propor-\u2018 tionately inercased during the samo period noarly 56 per cent per head.\u2018This includes charges on revenus and ail other expenditure whatever, The Pust-office Department shows an increased deficit of 200 per cent, aud the Public Works of 42 peur cent as against the 16 per cent per head of tax-paying power.Now on your public debt you have an annual interest to pay o' $7,000,000, and we have to borrow in England, it will tot be, as pretended, to pay for our rai.way construction, but the loan will have to ba applied to the payment of this enormous interest.You will go on borrowing until you have borrowed enough to pay your annual interest, but we cannot go on this way for ever, and the Hon.the Finance Minister, who says hs ia going to get what ke wants in this country in the future wiil find himself mistaken.I thisk, sir, when we consider, in contras:ing our tax-payicg power with our expenditure, and when we find that t+x-payiag power has only increased 16 per cent per head, while our expenditure has increaszd more than 50 per cent per head, the situation of this country is very critical.We have run ahead of our resources, we hava run abexd of our tux-payer, we have imitated and far exceeded ths European system.The European nations from 1864 to 1879 increased their national dabts 63 per cent, but we have doubled ours in nine years.The budgets of the whole serics of years mentioced wera iucreaséd 40 per cent, ?cent, but we have gone far beyond them ia nine years in our budget.It is quite true that our expenditure is more productive than theirs, we have not been éngaged in wars, We have expended these heavy suma by improvements, but, for all that, we have been far too immoderate in our expenditure, wa have goue far beyond our taxpaying power, and we bave surpassed the European system in the increase of our annual charge.I say we should not present such a contrast as this to immigration, there is one country which presents a contrast to the European system.While Cahada increases her national debt, while: you find Canada far surpassing the European system of increasing their national debt, the United States has presented to the pweple of Earope the unique example of an enormous reduction in its national debt, and it is to that fact that I attribute to a very great extent one of our greatest difficulties mn competing with that country for immif grante.I dare say hon.gentlemen will accuse me of baing unpatriotic, but it ia no use blinking at the facts, it is not unpatriotic to slate what is true.Sir CHARLES TUPPER.The hon.gentleman mistakes if he thinks I object to his stating the fact.Hon.Mr.BLAKE.Not only has the increased expenditure in this country been applied to improvements, but the increase also bas been applied in Europe to similar objects ; much ot it bas been expended in the construetion of the railways there, I want to know why theemigrant flying from burdens in his own country, flyimg from an enormous national debt, wnether it is not prudent for him to endeavour to locate himself in a country which- presents a coa- trast,which shows a continually decreasing debt, and which, thercfore, promisas to lighten the burdens ¢f tazation.We do mot present tnia contrast ; the United States do present that contrast.I want to know why we should uut enulate their plan in placicg this contrast before immigrants, instead of following the example in vefer- ence to high taxation ee: by the o:d countries from which we expect them to come.Before the war, the expenditure of the United States, which bad thea 27 and-a- half milliors, showed a proportion oË $2 a head.It is porfectly true that the comparison would be found with a very large reduction on that accoun! ; but, making that large reduction ; 1t is equally trae thac our system ia becoming extravagant ani onerous, and has gone beyond the increase of the tax-paying powers of the country, and itis time to call a halt.In this ex.peaditure ; there 1s included $1,272,000 for interess on the Pacific Railway.How are wo to mee: all this while our tax-paying powers hava been increasing 80 moderately, and while our expenditure has been in- creaging so rapidly, how are we to make both ends meet?Partly by loaus, and partly by: adding to the burdens of the country.You cannot make a power -to psy by adding to the taxation, of tho people.The Hon.the First Minie- A SA MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, MONDAY APRIL 19 te: showed that the difference between the | condition of thinge, the Union being Customs duty of 1868 aud 1879 was a dolla: per head, and that the increase it added Was four millions to our tax.He gave ustue figures by a rough caloulation.According to my view the figures for that period ought to be $4,500,000, and I hold tbat the way he bas computed is not a fair way of determining what the increase of the burdens to the people have been, that they have been toa much larger extent.There are three rates of tax; there is the taxation of bills, which I need refer to as & very material consideration.The excise and other items I will not refer tc, for tbe large increase in the duly on malt has qean taken off.I will take up the txcise cn spirits, and compare tho duiy on the sum of 1879 with the rates of 1880.Hon.gentlemen may say that the consumption of 1879 is tco large, that it was an abnor:nal consumption iu consequence of the rate of duty, and, thercfore, the gross tax is largér and ought to be cou- sidered in regard to this question, tut I dispute the siatewment, for it will be found that the correct average of the whole nina.years since 1871, corrected by the increaso of population,would give a consumption of 3,800,000 gallons, and thattheineor:ect average would be almost equal to the amouut ex-warehouse.I will admit the hon.gentleman does not expect to get that consumption this year, but ia my opinion the tux has gone beyozd the point at which he can ruise a revenue from it.I hope his views with reference to the more moderate use of liquor may affect the consumption, Lut I main\u2018ain that a fair estimation of this ability is the consumption of 1879, becinuze it is largely below the correct and hardly higher than tho incorrect average for ihe nine years.Then we take the duiy on tobacco in 1879 and compare it with the rates of 1880.The consumption is below the increased averag: for nina yewrs, and the incorrect average would be 8,000,000 lbs, whica s far in ejcess of the swmoun*, ex-warehouse, in 1879.Therefore, I find in exezss un increased taxation of $1,034 000 on the two aviicles of spirits and tobacco.Ihave endeavoured to ascertain what the coa- sumption is in respect to Customs, but it does not do to make the amount of gooda imported for obvious reasons.It does n t do, either for actual or comparative pur.posea,to take the amount entered in thoCu:- tom-house ; but taking the amount entered for consump: ion,the foreign grain imported, was practically in transitu.On replaciog an equivalent amount of domestic grain, you cau asceriain as neariy as the publie re- CoxC8 will permit what the c:naumption of free und dutiable articles imported was for that year.Activg on this principle, andal- ewiag for the temporary duties imposed in 1870, 2nd taken off in 1871, by a resolution which took effect prior to the resolution of 1lta April of that year, the rate of ourduty upon the amount of consumption on an average for the four years was $13.90 per cent, These I tcok to be a fair eati- mate of the incidence and burdens of our taxation upon our importations dutiable and free, during that period.If yeu make no allowance at all for these temporary dutiee, the average would give $14.21, which is an increase hardly worth speaking of.During; th: subsequent three years, the average was $12.33 of goods entered for consumption.The firat complated year, under to tariff of 1874, viz., 1875, showed a duty of $13.42, an increase of 2 per cast.for that which immediatsly preceded the rato for\u2019sx months of the current year is $19.62 as compared with $13.90, compared with the early period of which 1 have spoken.The Hon.Minister of Finance admitted that those were very large importz- tions in anticipation of the Tariff, and thu the rates were very considerably reduced owing to that fact, but tsking the increase of $5.72 p.c.or $5 34 p.c.of taxation on everything dutiable and free, not on an increase oË 5 per cent., or a 15 or 17} per cont.Tariff, but a new Tariff of 5$ per cent, ou everything you import dutiablo and free It would bs quite enough to say that the statment of sre Hon Fiuarce Minister was correct, that in 1879 more than $4,003,000 was taken out of the pockets of the peoplo than was taken during the former year; but I think that à much larger sum has b:2n added to our burdens.Well, with good times and high prices, we ought to have a revenue, when a fifth part of everything that comes into tae country, great or small, cheap or dear, free or dutiable, raw material or manufactured articles, necessary of life or luxury, is taxed to make up the average.lt should be tolerably cleur that if there is any importation at all that 1-5 should come inte the coffers oË the coun- t-7, but no considoration has been taken of any important item.We have been considering pnly the amounts that enter into the Cus\u2018oins, but the uncounted mil- lioas tbat go into the pockets of toousands of priva'e persons, that are to add to tho legitimate profits of some trades, that aro to be compeusated for tha misdirected and unprofiable application of capital, of Jabor by the mass of consumers, we aro unable to ascertain or to take into account.But this we know, that anything of this kind does not swell the public trezavry, it nfay be accepted as a fact that we have in many Cases passcd the limit of effeetive taxation.Cest .in it is that unlese the hon.gentleman has wholly misvaleulated His object, unless he bas wholly bungled in thé exercizs of the great weapcn he has used, he will have stimulated home manufactures in respect to soma of the best articles of importation.It is certain that he will have deprived the coffers of the country of the duties to be derived from these articles.Sir S.L.TILLEY\u2014As in the Uaited Siates for instance.Hon.Mr.BLAKE\u2014I do not propose to enter in\u2018o a discussion of fres-trade, nor to analyse the conditien of the Uniied States, or bow far they can play tricks with political economy.I think the distinctiors ave obviously new, I say the effect will be produced, and if there be good crops and high prices there is no doubt the Customs revenue will be increased, but ttere is no doubt also that a very large sum cf it has been diverted from tha Custom House to the pockets of individuals.It appears by the admission of the hon.gentleman, Ly the figures I have stated, that we bave largely 1ncreased the burden of our taxation, and that every dollar of interest that we are paying, and ave to pay, for the construction of the Pacifia Railway must come out of these increased taxations, or from fresh means.Is was demonstrated by the admission of the hon.gentleman and more fuliy by the arguments I have advanced, we have iucreased the burden of our taxarion largely, and it is obvious that you cannot place theadditioaal interest this outlay will inflict on us for the constrne- tion of the Pacifie Railway.I'he payment of that interest, if it were only fair and reasonable, would by the additional taxation, even apart from tue Pacific Railway, and furtber expenditure on it, be very heavy.We are still in a critical coaditior ; we are still trying our great experiment, still engaged in the effort of making bo:h ends meet ; we have not yet accomplished that feat.Tho hon.gentlewan said a mouth or six weeks ago that the reveane would be within half & million of the public requirements.I wonder \u2018whether he will say 89 when he moves the second reacing of the Supply Bill?We believe it will be a great deal more; we are not yet in a state of equili.brinin as to reczipts and expenditure ; we are epgaged in a great trade experiment.Js one great experiment not enough at à time; wonld it not ba better not to plough too deeply into experiments, speculations ard conjectures, and would it not be better, as we are engaged in this great experiment, financially, commercially and fiscally, not to enter into fresh financial engagements of an enormous character, based upon speculation and conjecture ?Are re now finally to submit the policy of Parliament, and enacted, as I have pointed ou!, four or five or several times, agreed to unanimously in 1876, that this road should be so constructed as not to increase the burden of our taxation, | because \u2018f you agree to the scheme of the Gayernment and go on with the construction of the road in British Columbia, you do finally subvert and abandon that policy, and you cannot ever recur to it, and you commit yourselves to\u2019 the construction of that z0ad irrespective to tho rate of taxation and the burdens to be imposed on the country.I ask the House not to begin that now, but, in preference, to say they will complete tho road between Fort William and Seikirk, and go on with the prairie sections and see the result of the settlement and colonization of the country particularly, and then when they have seen the result aud ascertain that there is a substantial basis on wiich, without drawing on this country the grinding taxation which is now being levied on us for the purpose, without tuis fresh taxation that the railway ba built in Columbia, then to commence its construction and not before.Consider this Confederation remember of what it is composed, how it was formed, It was formed, asa cynic has said, and may say again, as, indeed, was practically admitted by hoa.gentli- wen opposite, when they told us in 1869 that the Union was only a union on paper, and that it was the subzequent Ac a of this Union that would come into à real and permanent Union, based on ita elements on which alone a real Ucion caû be affected; it was formed as between Ontario and Quebec, rather asa divorce.Ag to Nova Scotia, she wag coerced into it and afterwards compensated for tbe logs of her honour.As to New Brunswick, sha was frightened into it and afterwards compensated, As to Mauiioba, she was hurried and coerced, as well a8 Prince Elward Island and British Columbia.Shall [ say they were seducsd juto it by pledges and promises\u2014by.at any rate, à most expensive settlement.That being the originai a union of paper as it was.I want to know what has been dome to cement it, how it now stands after all your political meagur>8 ?A Province where almost everyone ie insisting at your doors for aid in mecting ourexiravacance ; they bave come to look at us princips'ly in the cbaracter of the tax-gatherers of the Provinces, and they believe they may come as far as they please, and thet the Dominion Exchequer must fi! tha void from the collections from lavger Provinces desiroaa of paying their 8 are of throwing upon the other Prov nces, or on of tham, the balance of the liabilities.The largest of the Provinces a-ks no special advantages.She is ready to see the revenues, froma whatever quarter they come, oxpended im the best way for the general interest of the Domipicn, but she asks, and is entitled to ask for a proper economical expenditure of the r venues.All the public works of the old Prozinces are at & stand-atill ; ou\u201d shipping are depressed, and are asking for rome relief, The vast expenditure of Quebec to reach the great West is abortive for a time ; thare is no money for the ex- tezsion to the East\u2014no money for it.It cannot be done.\u2018The money must be spent in the gorges of the Frassr in British Columbia.How much less interest have we in opening up the canons and gorges of Brit\u2018sh Columbia if it be true, as your Commissioner said, that it is impossible for us with our limited means to undertake the getilement of the North\u2014West ourselves, ag wo bave neither sufficient population or money for the work?How much less are we able to add to this heavy task?The cosstruction of the Columbia section cf the Canada Pacific Railway is the true way of developing, in a poor and attenuated measure, that natioval spirit which may be looked te to support the country by-aud-by whenever it may care to take its legitimate share in the concerns of the great family of nations.This is the true wayto deve- lope the spirit of brotherly love acd unity; to consolidate the Union and give us tbe elomentg of a successful Union and make us ona people.Satisfying for a time Brit'sh Columbia ; but only as a pledge, only \u2018as its people know that when the Pacific Railway is commenced we are bound to complete it through the whole of their province to satisfy those 12,030 people at the risk of the ruining the whole Dominion\u2014this is not the way to cement the Univn or make it lasting.It is not by the restriction of trade, compelling one pers\u201d to trade with some other to his own loss.Itis not by an enormous and crushing national debt, by additional taxation raising the prices of our necessariss and diminishing the com-~ forts of our lives.It is not by flinging with livisn hand into the gorges and canons of British Columbia all you can borrow or vaise, while all the interests in older Proviuces are reported at a stand a:ill, that yon wiil cemeat and make prosperous this Union.You are making our load heivier than that of the Unitel Stites, you ars making our debt intolerabie to the poer, you are running that risk, you who so deprecate ana.xition, by the csuvse into which you have plunged tha country; you are paviag {pe way to that annexation by rendering it the only possible escape from the serious dangers with which we are meusc d.You tell us we are injuring

its third resdiag.Mr.BUNSTER continued Lis speech, defending British Coluwbia from the as persicns cast upon it, and expressing the belief that, notwithstanding the position taken by the mewber for West Durham, tue road would be completed.Bon.H.L.LANGEVIN followed, and argaed that the members ef the present Opposi' ion hed committed themselves to the building of the entive road.Ths hon.member for West Durham had endeavour- cd to secure the support of the Irish people by pr:dic:ing tuat,with the advent to power of a Liberal Government in England, teers would dawn a brighter day for that country.Ha (Mr.Blake) hod even gone sn far as to state that he was in favour of Home Role.He (Mr.Langevin) hoped that there would be many bricht days, and many brignt years, in store for Ireland ; but be believed that the British Government, no matter what party might hold the reins of power, would do justice to that country.It required time to remedy the evils.The hon.gentleman had also sought to secure the support of the members from the Province of Quebec by complaining of the imposition of the work in the eastern section ; but his amendment had offered them no relief.Is simply said that it was not desiratle to proceed with the construe- tion of th® work in British Columbia.The Government intended to complete the entire road ; but a great work of this kind could not be built in a day.the Goverament estimates as to the cost of ths road and their policy generally.\u2018The hon.member for West Durham was responsible for tbe calling for tenders for the Yale-Kamloops section by the late Government.Ion, Mr.BLAKE\u2014How ?Hon, Mr.LANGEVIN said that the hon.genileman had continued his support to the Government of the member for Lambton and had never repudiated it.Hou.Mr.BLAKE said he bad referred to this question in his speech last night, and then stat :d that had he been in the couatry he would have opposed this action, He was out oË the couniry at the time, and, as a matter of fact, did not know until November last that tenders had been calied for.Hon.MY.LANGEVIN, continuing, charged the Opposition with pursuing an unpatriotie policy, and criticised the speech of the member for West Durham at some length.\u2019 Mr.CASGRAIN considered that the building of the Western section of the rood at the present time was too much for the resources of the country.He said that it was only by the strongest pressure that \u2018he Quebec Conservatives had been induced to support the Govarnment policy, aud said that \u2018f the carrying of the amend- meat did not involve defeat of the Government, they would voto for it en masse.He ridiculed the calculations of the Goverument as to theamouatoË revenue which they could expect to derive from the lands in the North-\\West.Mr.McINNES opposed the amendment, ad said its adoption would be a step towards the dismemberment of the Confederation, and would be a violation of faith with that Provizce.He believed that British Columbia was destined to bea great Provines, and said that inatead of , hav:n3 a population of only 12,000 it had From 25,000 to 30,000.Mr, CHAKLLON moved the adjourn- rent of the debate.(Cries of \u201c

A scene of confusion ensued, amid which the Speaker declared the motion for adjourning the debate lost.: Mr.DECOSMOS said thatif the Goverr§ ment persisted in their intention be woula talk the time out.Hathen took out of kis deck an immense pile cf documents, and ranounced his intention of proceeding wita his speech.At 240 Mr.Decoemos movel the ad- which was oar\u2019 j t of the debate, journment o \"od the ried with Sir John\u2019s consent, House # 1journed.pr MARRYING BISHOPS.Bishop Fraser \u2014\u201c Baby \u201d Fraser, as ke used to be called at the University and as he continued to be called all through his life\u2014is the third Bishop who has takea a wife within the past few years, and thus exposed himself to all the second-hand satire of Syduey Smith:\u2014\u201c How can a Bishop marry P How can he flirt P The most he can say is, \u2018 I will see you in the vestry after s-rvice\u201d\u201d\u2019 The Bishop of Kxter wes the first to break the ice and to plung into matrimony, and etill more recently the Bishop of Lickfield has been married during the occupancy of his See.But these cases are very rare, aud when a few years ago one of the most distinguish ed bishops in East Anglis, eminent for his learning, made up kiz mind to take a wife de resigned kis See and quietly retired toa cottage at Clapham, wlere be spent the rest of his days with bis books and his wife, and spent them apparently very pleusantiy.The Episcopal Beneh now numbers oaly twe bachelors, the Bishop of Durham (De.Lightfoot) and the Bishop of Bly (Dr.Woodman);
