and, what adds to the discouraging features of the situation, there is no evidence that any ordinar shading would help matters materially, The home wants are certainly light, and while it is not uncommon to find shippers suddenly changing their opinion when terms became more attractive, they nearly all now claim to feel very indifferent and without encouraging advices to induce ;

and, indeed, may say the previous session.I then, sir, contrasted the position I occupied with the position I was placed in as Finance Minister when submitting my statement in 1873.1 called the attention of the House at that time to the {act that in 1873 I could point toa full Treasury, to a prosperous condition of the country, and to a hopeful state of things for the future.In 1879 matters had materially changed.I had to point out to the House the fact that for three or four years there had been a deficiency ; that the trade of the country was very much depressed ; that our manfacturing and other industries were very nearly crushed out, and that it became an important and serious duty for the Government then to inquire what steps should be taken, or could be, for the purpose of remedying the existing evil.At that time the Government submitted propositions to the House which they considered were calculated to remedy this difficulty, and last session I was in the happy position of being able to say that, to a very great extent, the result of the measures that had been submitted and carried through Parliament had been to restore confidence [hear, hear]; of restoring the the revenus, and of giving an impetus to our manufacturing and other industries.Though we were not, from circumstances over which we had no control, at that time in a position to state that the receipts of the year would equal the expenditures, still we expressed the hope and the conviction that when Parliament next met we would be in a position to assure the House and the country that, as far as the financial operations of the tariff were concerned, it would be found to be ample for all the purposes of the country.I am, sir, in the happy period in to-day being able to affirm, to confidently affirm, that THE MOST SANGUINE EXPECTATIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT and of our friends behind us, the most sanguine expectations of our supporters on the country have been within two hours fully realized.[Applause].I had, sir, at the last session to state that, owing to circumstances over which we had to a great extent no control, we were compelled to come down to the House and ask, over and above the Estimates of the year previous, $200,000 for PHE RELIEF OF INDIANS in the North-West.We came to the House and asked, and it was cheerfully granted, for $100,000 for the relief of our suffering countrymen in Jreland.We also asked for sums to meet engagements nat anticipated the year previous.We were, therefore, compelled to admit that, upon the basis of calculation made in 1879 and 1880, there would be a deficiency of $300,000 between rec-ipts and expenditure last year.Sir, I am happy to say that, upon the calculations that were made, that, so far from the deficiency being half a million, it was reduced to $243,288.But I think I hear some hon.gentleman opposite say the Public Accounts show that the difference between receipts and the expenditure was something like $1,500,000.Well, sir, that is quite true, but let me call the attention of the House to the fact that in 1879 and 1880 I submitted for their consideration a Tariff, the revenue.producing power of which I stated was estimated at $2,600,000 per annum more than the existing Tariff; or, in other words, that the revenue during the next year would, under the new Tariff, be $2,600,600 more than under the old Tariff, and, deducting sums paid as drawbacks, there would be an increased revenue upon goods consumed during the fiscal year of 1879 and 1880 of $2,500,000.Well, sir, I said at that time that in that estimate there would be $700,- 000 customs that would be in the year previous, but, to use the language of my predecessor, which would be borrowed from the following year.(Hear, hear) I also stated that from the excise dues collected in the previous year there would be $600,090 borrowed from the next year, and that from the enormous withdrawal from bond the imports and excisable goods within the first three months of January, February, and March would exceed in customs by a million and three or four hundred thousand dollars, and excise $1,100,000, the figures tor the corresponding three months of the year previous.My calculations were based upon THE PRODUCING POWER of the tariff, because it will be quite apparent to the House that no matter when the propositions or changes are made, whether it be in 1874 or 1878, there always will be anticipations of imports and withdrawals from bond of a lacge amount of goods that must take necessarily from the following year revenue that properly belongs to that year.If my calculations had been based on the revenue simply to be received the following year, it would be quite apparent to the House that we would have an increase in reveaue, in order to make up the actual receipts of that year, $1,300,000 more than was necessary for subsequent actual receipts in 1873 were in excess of the expenditure between $800,000 and $900,060.I am sure no -member on this side of the House ever claimed that the sum collected in that year should be placed to our credit on the basis of the estimates we had previovsly made.The hon.member opposite, .my predecessor, I think, estimated that he received that year, as borrowed, to yse his terms, from the following year, something like $1,500,000.fAt all events, there was very little discussion There was some discussion as to thc amount that properly belonged to that year; certainly it was mever claimed by.tue present Minister of Rail- Ways, or by the hon.member for Niagara, who took up this subject, and it was never claimed by myself last year or before, that we had a right to that $1,500,000 taken into account as received the year following.Wa now claim that the $1,303,060 received on gopds consumed in 1879 and 1880 could be fairly taken into account as establishing the producing power of the new tariff.Well, sir, on that basis, gs | say, the estimated revenye for that year wag\u2019 $24,450,000, Total cash receipts, $23,307,406; borrowed from the year 1878-79, $1,300,000.The producing power of the revenue roceived upon the goods consumed during the year, then; would be $24,607,406, as against the estimated revenue of $24,450,000.THE ESTIMATED EXPENDITURE of 1879-80 was $24,978,000, and the actual cxpenditure wae $24,850,634, showing an increase of receipts over the estimated expenditure and a decrease in the expenditure under the estimate, making, instead of a dficiency, as we estimated last year, of half a million, an excess of $243,228.As I nary grant\u2014to the Indians of $200,000, and if it bad nat been for the grant of $100,000 Ireland, there woyld Lave been a halançe to our credit rather than à defioit, and this fact I shows that the Estimates were as accurate as they could poss\u2018bly be, I think, under the circumstances.Now, then, sir, with reference to the present year, it will Le remem- | for the relief of our fellow-countrymen in { 1 years, because that, sir, would have been anticipated in the year previous.It is well-known, sir, that the made at the time as to the basis on which I made that calculation.I estimated that there would be during last year received in cash for Customs $14,000,000, which, with $700,000 added, made $14,700,- 000, and for excise $5.213,000.I estimated that the CUSTOMS REVENUE WOULD BE INCREASED by five per cent, or at least that there would be an increase of five per cent.in the imports, which would give an additional S800,000 of revenue from this source, making iu all $15,300,000.Taking all the revenue together, then, our income was estimated at $25,517,00u.I am now, sir, in a seven months and a-half, with reference to the income of the current year, that I think that our income will be at least $27,586,000, against the estimate of $23,517,000 for last year.(Cheers.) It is quite clear, from the information which we have, that the Customs receipts for the present year will amount to $17,000,000, compared with last year's estimate of $15,300,000 ; that the revenue from Excise will be $5,600,000, compared with the last year's estimate of $5,213,000; that the revenue from the Post-office will be about what we estimated it at last year, $1,210,000; that the revenue from Public Works will be $2,286,000, as we estimated last year; that Biil Stamps will yield $190,- 000; that the interest from investments will be $696,000, and that the revenue from all other sources will be $700,000.THE ESTIMATED EXPENDITURE made in March last, including the supplementary estimates, amounted to $25,315,- 786.The supplementary estimates which were submitted to the House a few days since amounted to $457,608.This includes, I am sorry to say, for we were compelled to ask Parliament for another similar vote, a grant of $200,000, to meet the demands made this year for Indians, being the sgme amount which was required for this purpose for the year previous.But, sir, the sum total amounted to $25,773,394\u2014less the vote, which will not be expended, and which will be dropped at the close of the fiscal year, although a small proportion of it may be cartied over for expenditures next year.I estimate this amount at $200,000, and I think I may safely say that the expenditure for this year will not exceed $25,573,394.IF QUR ESTIMATES ARE CORRECT in this respect, Mr.Speaker, the surplus for the current yur will be $2,011,000 or $2,- 0C0,000 in round numbers.I know that there are hon members in the House who, not looking, perhaps, into this matter, may have supposed from the statements which were made from month to month, and from seeing the increase in the revenue as compared with the corresponding months of the previous year, that the revenue would have been larger and that the surplus might have been larger ; but when I call their attention to the fact that during the first six months of the fiscal year previous $1,300,- 000 was lost to that year, it having been borrowed from the year previous, and that, therefore, in making a comparison, you have to add to the six months previous $1,300,000, they will see at at once that the apparent difference between the receipts for the first six months of the year would be materiaily affected.But I think that it will be considered satisfactory to the House and to the country that, under existing circumstances, we have every prospect of having, at least $2,000,000 as the surplus for the current year.[vbeers.] So1 think that, beyond doubt, sir, the REVENUE PRODUCING POWER of the present Tariff, and, as I will show by-and-by, also the power of the Tarif to stimulate the industries of the country [cheers] is clearly established [Applause.] 1 now come to the estimates for the next fiscal year.It is estimated that the receipts will be as follows; Customs, $17,000,000; Excise, $5,400,000; Post-office, $1,300,000; Bill stamps, $190,000; Public works, including Railways, $2,360,000, and in- terost on investments, $650,000; making, with the revenue accruing from all other sources, $27,800,000.[Cheers,] The ostimates of expenditure submitted to the House, amount to $26,- 189,896.I do no not know at the present moment what the supplementary estimates may be, but they vary in different years.I trust that they will not be large, Lecause we were exceedingly anxious to obtain all that it was possible to submit, as the main estimate for the year i but I will add $200,- 000, for T find that there are two or three items omitted cither by the Clerk or by the printer, and probably this occurted during the checking off by the Clerk.But taking this estimate at $200,000, the estimated expenditure for next year will amount to $26,389,896, leaving AN ESTIMATED SURPLUS of $1,410,104.Now, sir, I beg to call the attention of the House to a few of the items that are in the present estimate with an increased expenditure for the next year.The House will not be surprised, sir, considering that the estimates contain an expenditure, under the head of capital, of something like $14,000,000 for the Pacific Railway, for Canals, and for other public works that am increase in the interest of the dent will Le necessary during the next year.Therefore, the sum of $319,605.37 has been added to the interest on the debt and sirking fund for next year.The SUBSIDIES TO PROVINCES show an increased estimate of $33,919.78.This has been used in order to make an even amount in the Estimates.It becomes necessary, owing to the census which is to be taken this year, and, under the Union Act, we are required to pay 80 cents a head to all the Provinces which have not a population of 400,000, and in the negotiations which are at present going on with Manitoba, it is probable that there will be an increase given to that Province, especially if the boundaries are extended, and it is estimated, in round numbers, that $34,000 will have to be added to the item of subsidies to Provinces owing to these two causes.\"I'he charges for management are increased by $1,043,868.That arises from the fact $13,000 will have to be paid to the agents during the next year, as one per cent.on the redemption ot a much larger portion of the debt than it was necessary to redeem during the current year.THE ESTIMATES FOR PUBLIC WORKS and buildings are increased by $127,772.Hon.members recollect very woll that during the last two years, while a surplus was not accrued, and while, on the contrary, we had to admit at the last session that there would probably be a deficit of half a million, the Minister of Public Works and his colleagues had to resist many applications in respect of works, recognized as having .great~ merit, because we did not wish to increase the expenditure beyond the income.Many of these claims which we had to 10ject, when we folt that we had not the means to provide for them, we fuel that we are now bound to recognize, since we show a surplus of two millions in the Treasury.In consideration of that, and looking to the improvement of our harbours, our navigation and our public buildings\u2014 Can Ce Sir A, J.SMITH\u2014Hear, hear, Sir 8.L.TIULEY\u201c-My hon.friend opposite says « Hear, hear.\u201d I know he is hoping that his own logality will be considered.I am \u201cglad tg\u201d know that he approves of the improvement of ese great pullic works.Under these circumstances, I say the House will not be surprised, but, on the contrary, will be gratified to know that the Government feels itself jn a position to increase the expenditure on the Public Works, on the great national objects, to the extent of $128,000.Then there is an increased expenditure of $51,300 FOR THE MILITIA.During the past two years we have not been able, and we did not feel ourselves called upon, to add to our debt by devoting a larger sum than was absolutely.necéssary.for that important service.It is well-known that during last year and the year previous the volunteers received only, think, four days\u2019 drill per annum.Hon.A.P.CARON\u2014Six, Sir 8.L.TILLEY\u2014Six, was it.I knew stated before, if it had not been for the grant rn and it wag an extraprdi- | it was about half what they were in the habit of getting.Jt has been considered desirable, in th¢ interests of the country, that the sum for drill should be increased, and that the drill, this year specially, shall be greater than it has been for the last year or two.The sum to be expended on OCEAN AND RIVER SRRVICR is increased $56,140.\u2018This arises from the faot that communications have taken place between parties in France and parties in Canada relative to the importance of estab.bered that the estimate of receipts, made in | lishing a line of steamers to ply between ; March last, for the current year, was $5,- | ports in the St.Lawrence, the ci y of Qusbec.517,000.mated at $15,200,000.Hon.members will possibly recollect the statement which I The Customs revenue was esti- \u2018and France.It would be has been \u2018asserted that the French Governposition to state, after an experience of ment will contribute $100,000 towards the undertaking, it was considered desirable to ask Parliament to place at the disposal of the Government $50,000 for the purpose of securing the establishment of that line between Quebec and France.(Cheers.It may be said that under the present Tariff in force in France the amount of business that may be transacted between the two countries will not be so extensive as it would be if more favourable trade relations existed between us, but the very fact that the French Government giants $100,000 to this line will be a declaration on its part that it is prepared to extend its trade relations to Canada : and Canada, therefore, will not be in a position to resist for a moment an application for a grant also.We have, therefore, asked $50,000 for the purpose.Then, sir, there has been a growing difi- culty IN THE MARITIME PROVINCES with reference to the communication between those Provinces and Great Britain.At one time we had steamers calling once a month at the Port of St.John, and they were well patronized, but, sir, at the present day a new state of things has risen.The people of the Maritime Provinces for the past year.or two have been turning their attention to the export of cattle and agricultural products and fruit to Great Britain, and from the fact that there was no line of steamers from the Maritime Provinces except from Halifax\u2014and the steamers from that port were not exactly the kind to do the bysiness we required them to do\u2014we were compelled to come to the city of Quebec largely and take the steamers there, which, adding greatly to the expense of transport, resulted greatly to \u2018the loss of the people of the Maritime Provinces who were engaged in shipping.Under these circumstances, and considering the importance of the matter, the Government decided to ask Parliament to place at its disposal, for a fortnightly steamer running alternately from Halifax and St, John, and leaving Prince Edward Island also, the sum of $235,000.I feel, sir, that this increase of $75,000 [it is an increase of $75,000, but there has been a reduction in some other expenditures which makes the actual increase $56,140] will be sustained by the House and by the country, [Applause.} ON RAILWAYS AND OANALS the increase is $76,268.This is for repairs, which in many cases will be somewhat extensive during the approaching year, and enlargements.There may be a question whether a portion of this sum should not be added to capital, but it was considered hest, under all the circumstances, to ask Parliament for that sum, to be charged against income.The estimated Post-office expenditure is increased by $91,500.As will be scen by last year's Estimates, we asked for an increase then, but I am happy to be able to say that, while in 1879-80 there was a considerable increase in the expenditure on the Postal service,/there was also an increase in the re- venye; although not a corresponding increase to the expenditure.During the present year there is, an increascd income expected from that source, and You will observe that the estimate of income, mentioned by me a few minutes ago, was $1,300,- 000, which is a sum considerably in excess of any amount we have yet received from that source.However, these items ] have named make altogether $77G,944 ; as against © A TOTAL INCREASE, including the Supplementary Estimates, of $884,000.When we come to these items, sir, and ask the House to vote them, we will be in a position to state, more fully than I have stated just now, our reasons for asking Parliament for them.Now, sir, I have Lefore me the income and expenditure of 1879-8¢C ; the expocted income and expenditure for 1880-81, and the cstimated expenditure and income for 1881-82.Hon.gentlemen may ask if, with the estimated surplus for the present ycar of $2,000,000, and the estimated surplus next year of $1,500, 000, we propose, in the resolutions Wu gro about to lay on the table, any great reduction in the Tariff?My answer, Mr.Speaker, is that the propositions that we are now about te submit for the consideration of the House, with reference to the, amendment of the Tarift, are mainly for the purpose ef placing a number of articles thut are now subject to a 20 per cent, duty and are considered, and are indeed to certain manufacturers, raw material, on the freo list.The resolutious also provide for the | INCREASE OF THE DUTY on some manufactured articles, where the Government feel that it is desirable that additional protection or support should be given to those particular industries.There is also a reduction of duty on two or three articles, that are considered Ly the manufacturer raw material, in order to place them in a better position than they were before.There are resolutions for the purpose of smoothing\u2014if I may use the term\u2014the working of the Act, or of the Tariff, as far as our Customs officers are concerned.To remove the difficulties which have been tound to exist in working out this Tariff, and in fixing a specifie rate of duty by all the officials throughout the Dominion, we have found that varied rates have been fixed by different officials on the same article, and\u2019 it became the duty of the Government to sce if, by changing the wording or classifying the goods under a different head, they could not remove what I admit to have been an irritation and annoyance to importers.I know that\u2019 last session we removed a great many of these, and I trust the resolutions now about to be: submitted will remove mauy'mére, i£ not the whole of them.\u2018But these Tesolutions will not materially affect the tariff, except, perhaps, in reducing thie amount to bo received, but immatefially.The Government considered the question whether it was desirable in the present state of things to ask Parliament to take the duty off certain goods, or reduce the duty on others, and so materially reduce our receipts.After giving that matter full consideration we considers ed it desirable, in view of the \u2018fact that even at present en THE EFFECT OF THIS TARIFF, or National Policy, as it is termed, has not been fully developed, and we do not know, as these manufactures increase and grow in the country, whether they will give brek, through their employes, an equitalent for what we impose \u201cof similar products.As we do dot know what will be the effect of the rapid extension, because it is very rapid indeed, of the manufacturing industries of the country, we thought it desirable on this ground alone to make no proposition for a large reduction of the tarif during the present session.Morethan that; when the tariff was brought down \u2018in 18794 it was stated distinctly that the Govern: ment was excebdingly anxious, if possible, to.renew : THE RECIPROCITY TREATY of 1854, and, as an expression of the feeling of this House, they gave the Government power to reduce to pro rata the duty that we now collect upon the raw material, such as coal; lumber dnd grain, and \u201ceverything of that kind, in precisely the same proportion that the Government \u2018of the United States or Cot sess\u2019 would think proper to feduce heir duties, and even, if necessary, : to remove them uitogether, Well, sir, we know that even in the last session of Congress, and it is renewed this session, there were petitions sent to Congress looking at the change this tariff is producing on our imports from the United States, and there is a pressure on Congress to-day to appoint a Commission to confer with the Janadian Government in reference to this matter.We do not know whether anything will grow out of that or not.It may result in an approach being made to our Government on the part of the United States authorities, but the carrying out cf such à Policy would naturally result in the reduction of the revenue we now receive from coal and otierthings of that nature ; and as dug as there is a possibility of that taking place, it would be impolitic for us to ask the House fu reduce the tariff on one, two or three articles which would affect the result of that policy.We thought it would not be injurious for us to be able to show in two or three yeas that we had a surplus of two and a-half or three million dollars.It would not affect our credit abroad, certainly.These ave the reasons which decided us at present not to come to Parliament and ask for a reduction in the Tariff.It there is no chance for these articles being made free ; if there is no chance of our natural products having a market ; if we find that, in addition to $3,000,000 required for interest on our expenditure on the construction of the Pacific Railway, we have a handsome surplus, I need not tell hon.gentlemen around and behind me that we shall Le only too glad to be in a \u2018position to \u2018 an advantage if | \u2014whether to the extent of half.i-million or such a line could be established, and \u2018as it\u2019 a million dollars\u2014but ât \u2018presént we feel .A \u2018RELIEVE.THE PEOPLE OF TAXATION able to do so.I think from the facts I have submitted with reference to the state of the revenue up to the present time\u2014facts shown by the paper laid upon the table an hour since\u2014that there can be no question as to the revenue power of the present Tariff and its ability to pay all the requirements of the country.That being established, then comes a very serious question\u2014whether, as it is proved to be a revenue-producing Tariff, it is also a protective Tariff?Our friends opposite, as is well known in this House, discussed for some six weeks the tariff submitted in 1879.They took many and serious ob- Jections to many of its provisions.They met us with a statement, and u natural one, too, that the tariff must prove a failure in one or the other respects, either as a pro- aucing terifi or as giving protection to the manufacturers ot the countrv.I desire to ask the attention of the House for a few moments to consider, from the evidence-we lave all had from our every-day observations, as we must necessarily from day to day, and week to week, be brought into contact with the manufacturing industries of the country, without producing a figure or anything beyond the observation of every hon.member in this House, whether this tariff HAS GIVEN A GREAT IMPETUS and stimulus to the manufacturing industries of the country?This Tariff has now been in operation since March, 1879, and I'have given its operation careful personal considesation.I have done more.I have endeavoured to obtain reliable information from every part of the Dominion as to its working, and as to the effect it is producing upon certain industries, as to the new industries which are created, and the old ones which are revived, and as to the general impetus it has given to the manufacturing industries of the Dominion.Ido not hesitate to say that those inquiries have resulted in the most favourable returns and cess.[Cheers] 1 know that there are hon.gentlemen in this House who will say that Tand my friends aro too sanguine upon this subject.I have desired to bring a few facts to present for their considra- tion.I would ask them how it is possible that the trade returns and other evidence presonted to us could show such largely increased importation ofraw material if our manufacturers had not largely Lnefited ?Let me, sir, in the first place, call the attention of the House ta what, in my judgment, is one of the strongest evidences possible of increase in the manufacturing industries in this Dominion.We know there are certain industries where we do not require fuel to carry them on, as steam-power is not used.But in a large portion of them steam-power is required.I wish, therefore, to compare THE CONSUMPTION OF COAL in 1878-79 and the same in 1879-80.In 1878-79 we imported of cnel 889,740 tous, and of Nova Scotia coal we consumed 554,- 603.[ascertain this by taking the whole number of tons of Nova Scotin coal consumed, and deduct from it the number of tons exported, tho balance being the amount consumed in the Dominion.This makes a total.ot 1,444,343 tons altogether consumed in Canada in 1878-79.This importaijon of coal was one of the elements that, I did not calculate upon.I was not sanguine enough when I made my statement in 1878-79.I supposed that the consumption ot Nova Scotia coal would so increase that there would be less importation, and consequently less revenue upon this article.But 1 find that in 1879-80 we imported 973,778 tons, and of Nova Scotia coal we consnmed 811,719 tons, making the increased consumption of coal in that year over the one preceding, 341,- 134 tons\u2014-the increase in Nova Sootia coal being 257,116 tons.That bears very strongly and clearly to my mind upon the very subject we are discussing as to the effect of this tariff upon the manufacturing interests of this Dominion.I desire to give a little further information, because I consider this pretty strong evidence.I may say with reference to THE COTTON FACTORIES, that they have very largely increased.We have several new factories started, and many of the old ones have been enlarged.The returns submitted to me show that we are employing to-day in the cotton factories 1,850 hands more than we were when the tariff was changed.(Cheers.) The best evidence we lave outside the evicence now before me is that, as I learn, the products of the cotton mills have been increased about one and three.quarter millions a year, and it is said that the enterprise has not been ruinous to those engaged in it.(Laughter.), I know there was some fear expressed that so rapidly was this industry being developed that by and by cottons would be so cheap that the men who had capital invested in the factories would be ruined.Well, my outside inquiry leads me to the facts, I have stated that the products of the factories Lave increased a million and three-quarters a year, and we are now employing 1,850 hands more than last year, and that is evidence of prosperity that cannot well be gainsaid.Hou.gentlemen may say, but your returns are not right.You have been in communication with parties interested in this enterprise, and they have given you large figures, or, if you visited the factories yourself, as 1 heard it said\u2019 in the case of some places I vient \u2018to, the men were takeu from the lower floor to the uppe floor to make an exhibition.[sus iter.] \u201cHowever, I am pretty confident that there was no ground for that \u2018statement.It might Le said, however, that my calculations were wrong.But take the trade returns, and what do we find?We find that in the last 18 months THE IMPORTS OF NEW COTTONS (this is raw material, and we have none in the country, and the amount imported ives a fair guage of the extent of Manufacture) increased $871,478.Now, sir, the inoreased value oi this material, when manufactured, is admitted ta he from $1,450,000 to $1,525,000; thai is, that this raw material, with the labour of manufacture added, is in value $2,396,564, representing the increased value of the products of this industry in eighteen months, {hat bears out the statement of inerease furnished me from other sources.Well, sir, a word with reference to this cotton.It may be said that the country pays very heavily for these.It may be said that it increases the taxation, direct and indirect, of the people of Canada, I stated here in my place in March last that I held in my hand y list of prices at that time of cévtain descriptions of cottons made in the Dominion of Canada, and those prices showed that they were sold in Canada as cheap as they weve sold in the manufactories in Massachusetts at that time.1 believe there is a difference now, but it does not equal, upon this class of $ ods, the tariff or revenue formerly collected upon it.I have received a list of prices of.A NEW.BRANCH OF THAT INDUSTRY, that of knitting cotton, ostablished in my own city.The factory is supplying, and will supply, every part of the Dominion, and its prices compare, pound for pound, cent for cent, with those of the New Haxapshire manufactories.Well, six, the next article we come to is the article of wool.Now, sir, the result of my inquiry with reference to this matter is that the products of wool during the last year in Canada increased two million dollars, an®I am authorized to state here that the great bulk of the woolen goods manufactured, in the Dominion of Canadh in the last Year, are selling to-day cheaper than \u2018ever before, taking into account the price of the wool.Now, sir, if my statement be correct, the Trade Returns will show something like the same result.It is not as pertect or as telinble ag in the case ot cotton.Of course, cotton ts not produced in the country, but wool is, and we, consequently, see that the result of the operation of this \"tariff is not only to increase the irgportation of the latter article, but to in ;lease the demand for what we produce in our own country.The increase in THR MANUFACTURE OF WOOL, 1 during 18 months, amounted to $1,153,587 and the increase in the value of that produced in the country was $2,500,000, leaving an amount equal to $1,346,413 to represent the increase in labour, capital, &e., expended and invested in the industry.This result corresponds, as nearly as possible, with the Estimates, from $18,000,000 in the Province of Ontario, $20,000,000 in the Province, of Quebec and some in the Maritime Proin all of about $2,000,000.We now come to.another raw material which forms an illustration of the increase which has taken place under the Tariff in the.value of the articles manufactured in the country, 1 refer to PU TIE ARTICLR OF HIDES, that it would Ye unwise as vell as undesir- The increased value of the imports for 18 months was $807,297, and in the value of the manufacture of $1,614,000, leaving for in the strongest possible evidence of suc- | À { taken to for the vinces, showing an increase in the products § labour, bark (which is practically labour) and capit:l, a sum of $806,703.The result of my inquiries, inse far as I have been able to obtain information from the leading industries, was all in this direction, and showed in eflect what I have stated.The increased value ot iron entered for consumption during the 18 months was $303,189.Now, sir, this is only an approximate estimate.It is, moreover, a low estimate, and when we take into consideration the quantity which enters into the manufacture of stoves, sewing machines, etc, the value ot which is $1,000,000, we find the difference Letween the value of the raw material and the manufactured article to be nearly $700,- 000, all of which goes to pay for labour and capital invested.Now, sir, we come to a question which has, perhaps, received more attention than any other arising out of the present tariff \u2014an industry which is spoken of by our friends opposite as ONE OF THE PET INDUSTRIES of the Dominion of Canada.The tariff largely increases the consumption of the article produced by this industry, and so, it is alleged, reduces materially the revenue to be derived from it.I refer to the article of Sugar.Sir, I wish to make some statements 1o the House on the subject of this so-called favoured industry, in the course of which I think I shall be able to show that it, above all others, is deserving of our support not only ag affecting the industry itself, but as affecting the general interests of the Dominion of Canada.I have seen it stated, since the trade returns were laid on the table of the House, that it is quite clear from the statements contained therein, that this isa losing industry for the country, because it is shows that in 1878-79 TRE VALUE OF THE SUGAR IMPORTS was $5,650,000, and the duty derived from it $2,554,000 ; while the value of the imports of 1879-80 was $3,094,000, and the duty collected $2,036,000.The question is asked, how can you explain the decrease of\u2019 the imports and the decrease of the revenue unless the money goes into the pockets of the refiners ?I will endeavour to explain, and I will leave it t» the hon.gentlemen opposite to show if I am wrong.If there is any fallacy in my statement I would like to bave it exposed.We find that the values of the imports of 1878-79, and the duties collected were increased from the very cause I referred to, that is to say from the large importations and a withdrawal of an enormous quantity of sugar, which took place during the period immediately before the new Tariff came into operation.We find, on looking over the imports of January, February and March, 1878, that we imported a little less than $1,000,000 worth of sugar, while in 1878-79, during the same period, we IMPORTED A MILLION DOLLARS WORTH more, and the result was that we paid $225,- 000\u2014that is, the half of $450,000 collected upon impottations of 1878-79, which belong- ed-to the next year ; and we paid $500,000 for sugar that was consumed in the next\u2019 year.If, therefore, you will take half of the extra $1,000,000 during these three months, and add it to the value of the imports of the following year, we have 52,251, 692, as against $2,329,582 of the previous year.Then, so far as the revenue of the year is concerned, if you carry forward this particular item you find that it makes a net amount of $77,800.Now, sir, the difference of the value of the article, as: shown in this statement, would be $746,3900 It may be said that this amount is in THE POCKETS OF THE REFINERS, 1 will endeavour to show where it bas gone.I want the House to understand that the difference is this: that the value of the imports in one year would be $5,150,000, and the next year $4,404,000, making a difference of $746,000 in the value and $77,000 in the revenue for the year.I want to explain where the amount has gone.\u201d There Were 48 tons of sugar from the West Indies, on which freight had to he paid.Now, you will recollect that the duties collected in 1878-79 were upon refined sugar, manufactured to a large extent in the United States, and imported from there ; and, therefore, we paid duty upon the labour of the refiner of the sugar, upon which freight was paid, and upon other chargea and expeudi- tures in the same connection, which swelled the value under that operation $146,000, Where did it ga?Did it go to freight on 38,000 tons of sugar at $6.50 per ton that came to Canada?That we receive no portion of, that was of course paid by the refiners in the United States, where it was purpose of being yefined and where they paid it.That $247,000.was paid last year to the vessels that brought that sugar mainly to the PORTS OF MONTREAL AND HALIFAX.There were 24,000 tons of coal used in refining sugar in Canada last year.That at $4 per ton delivered at the refineries amounts to $96,000.We manufactured in Canada last year 200,000 empty barrels, which formerly were manufactured in the United States, at 36 cents per bare, amounting to $96,000; wages of 400 hand employed in refining that sugar, $160,000 ; wharfage that went into the revenue of the \u2018Commissioners at the pert of Montreal, and cartage, mainly paid to the people of Montigal, $27,000 ; annual charcoal and other F expenditures for refining material, depreciation of stock, ete, $40,000 ; interest on investments on the two establishments then in existence, $19,000; insurance on the build ings, $12,000; 13 per cent, premium on the sugar that was imported, $67,500.You wilk find that these added to the cost of 4,404, 000 pounda of raw material make a total of $794,500, as against the 746,390 stated.bere.lt will be difficult until the trade- and navigation returns for this year are before Parliament to compare the figures of last year with those of preceding years, but.for the six months of last ycar, for which.we have yeturns, what do we find?Wefind | UNDER THE EXISTING TARIFF that the quantity imported during the first half of this year was 2,915,000 pounds.against 2,061,344 pounds for the last half of the preceding year, and that the duties collected for the first half of this year amount- cd to $1,398,000, against 31,101,000, showing an increase of $297,000 during the first half of this year, and if we have but two- thirds of this during the balance of the year, we shall have more revenue out of sugar this year than during any previous year since the Confederation of the Provinces.Now, here we have $749,500 distributed amongst the owners of our vessels.Sir ALBERT SMITH\u2014Oh, no ; vessels.Sir LEONARD TILLEY \u2014I am reminded that there were some foreign vessels, but a considerable portion went to our own.[ vessels, and there will be more this year- for we are establishing a refinery in Halifax, and I am happy to say there is one already at Moncton.Here I nay say, with reference to the Maritime Provinces, that having no refinery there in the past the only direct trade with the West Indies has been the sugar brought to Halifax and sent by trains, but now, with the refinery im Halifax and the other in New Brunswick there will be a change.We paid foreign TO VESSELS COMING TO CANADA $247,000 ; to our coal industries for this interest along, $24,000; labour of handling, $96,000; 300,000: barrels manufactured, 1 996,000; wages of 400 hands, $160,000.: What does 400 hands mean?It means i 200 tenements occupicd in the city of Montreal that would have been vacant ; and not only that, you have these men who.are customers for every branch of trade and industry in that city, and now I am happy to say it extends beyond Montreal to the Lower Provinces.In addition to these we have other expenditures amounting in all to $794,500.The hon.gentlemen opposite may say, \u201cSupposing all that to be true, the people of the Dominion pay more for their sugar than they did under the old Taiiff\u201d That, sir, is greatly exaggerated.I hold in my hand.what I believe to bea veliable statement with regerence to granulated sugar during: the past year.I have here the prices dur-\u2014 [ing every month of 1880 in the United States and in Montreal.The prices in the United States aveiared $6 52.And the ol& duty, because I am making the statement under the estimato of the old duty, 25 per \u201ccent, $1.63, ans cent per 1b, $1, and all \u2018other expenses of every kind 35c.That brings \u2014 THE PRICR OF GRANULATED SUGAR to $9.50, ag against an average price during the past 12 months o* $9.75, or am increased cost of 25c.per hundred, as, between the present price and what it, would have cost to import it under the Tarift of 1878.Now 1 am also informed, ox what I consider reliable authority, that the yellow refined Sugar is put on the market to-day by the refiners and sold at from 14c.to 190.per 100 lbs, less than it could be imported from the.ae cm FC - © ev Ter United States for under the Tariff of 1878.I may go further and say that grocery sugar, which cust- beiween 130.and lde.per hundred Ie: now paved Tov tb.und 30 per cent duty only.+hen, Under the Tarif of 1873, it puid le à pound and 25 per vent duty.Sir RICHARD CARTWRIGHT\u2014No.Sir LEONARD TILLEY\u2014I speak of that class of sugar of which I had a sample a year ago.A very fair grocery sugar.That sugar is imported to-day at a quarter of a cent per lb less than it was in 1878, with five per cent.ad valorem less duty and the packages containing it being free of duty when brought directly from the West Indies.Therefore, that class of sugar is nearly quarter of cent per lb.less to the consumer to-day than it was in 1878.It is quite true that the ad valorem duty on raw sugars used by the refiners was increased from 25 to 30 per cent.in the Tariff of 1879, but there should be no complaint IF THE REFINERS HAVE TO PAY THAT.& does not amount to that, because the practical effect is, asthere is no duty on the packages us there was in 1878, that it does not cost a great deal more than under the Tarif of that year.Therefore, looking at it from this standpoint, if the refined sugar under this statement cost an average of 25 cents a hundred more, and if yellow sugar of average quality is sold to-day 70 cents per hundred less than under the old \u2018Fariffand can be had a quarter of a cent less per pound, then the people who consume sugar in Canada cannot be paying a very large sum over and above what they paid\u201d before.Bnt we have, in addition to that, an industry created which represented $750,000 last year, which is increasing and growing, and will increase and grow, amounting during the current year probably to $1,000,800, and, what is more, the vessels which brought that sugar into the port of Montreal (because it was confined to Montreal during the last year), and brought the coal there necessary to refine it,amounted to 62,000 tons.\u2018What effect had that upon ihe general industries of the country ?It had this effect, that while it gave a large increase of revenue to the port of Montreal, it gave a laigely-increased business to that district of country.But it did mère.The fact that those 62,000 tons of shipping wore at that port led to the shipment from it of a larger quantity of marine and foreign products from the United States, because there was the tonnage and ficight at a reduced rate.The competition of these 62,000 tons did diminish very materially FREIGHTS AT MONTREAL last summer, and in August and September every 10 cents paid on a barrel of flour was 80 much more of the products of Canada left in the producer's pockets, and every half- cent reduction in the freight of a bushel of wheat went into the farmer's pockets, as did also every 10 cents saved in the carriage of a box of cheese, and so, with all similar reduction in freights of bacon, pork and other products.By the operation o1 this tariff, we attracted last year to that port 62,000 tons of shipping that otherwise would not have been seen withou $ it.1 believe that, indirectly, the whole Dominion, and especially the West, experienced from it a great and decided advantage but during the present year this advantage will be extended to the Lower Provinces and with our sugar refineries in operation in Halifax and Moncton, what will be the result?'I'here will be a LARGE INCREASE OF TRADE between those Provinces and the Dominion generally and the West Indies.When our vessels going te the West Indies have a return cargo of sugar and other articles they will be able to carry away from our ports fish and other products at lower rates, which will give us the benefit of greater employment for our own vessels besides.If then we should pay 25 cents per cwt.more on our sugar the agriculturists of the West and lumber and fish merchants of the Lower Provinces will have an advantage equivalent or even greater in, that increased trade with the West Indies, reduction of freights and larger exports from the Lower l\u2019rovinces and the Province of Quebec.The next point to which I shall call attention is the increase of our manufactures throughout the country.We sce new furniture factories and new establishments for the manufacture of locomotives and rolling stock, which I had the pleasure of visiting.This shows the increase of enterprise in the country.With reference to one new industry, the manufacture of beetroot sugar, my colleague beside me (Mr.Moussean) has just handed me a cablegram from Paris which he has received today.Isce my hon, friend opposite (Sir Richard Cartwright) smiling, as much as to say these telegrams are very convenient.No doubt they are very convenient, sometimes, but pretence is not necessary in this matter, for it is an established fact that the beetroot sugar factories are exempt from payment of duty for ten years.Now only two ycars have to run, and the intention is to extend the period eight years from July next.The machinery for the factory referred to in the telegram has been purchased in Paris.I come now to THE FURNITURE FACTORIES, in regard to which I find a considerable increase, though not so large ag in some of our other industrics.With regard to locomotives and other rolling stock, the amount required by one Railroad Company, and largely by the Government, has been ordered, and is being manufactured in the Dominion.Look, for instance, at the Grand Trunk Railway Company alone.You need only enter their workshops at Montreal to sce what a wonderful impetus bas been given to that particular industry, and in every city you will find similar evidence of the beneficial operation of the N.P.You will sec, moreover, one factory for locomotives at Cobourg, another at London, and more in other localitics; but under the old tariff, they.were imported from the United States.In the production of agricultural implements, and so forth, the last year or two has witnessed a large increase.The makers complain that they make no more profits than before,but we find the quantity largely increased.The returns for Manitoba show a great increase in the purchase of Canadian manufactures and products since 1872 \u2014an increase that is marvellous.In that year their value reached $390,000, and last year $3,600,000 worth cf manufactures and products of Canada were imported into Manitoba and the North-West\u2014a large portion being AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS, and a new market has been opened for our wares in that country, from which those of Americans have been shut out.In the language of a gentleman 1 met at Kingston in April last, and who formerly lived ON : > $ 7 ,000.NO.25 ST.DENIS STREET.That Viger Square.:

on some forty different game dealers, many of whom were fined for having game in their pussession last year out of season.Many of them must have held it ignorantly, as is proved by the fact that this year not one of them have been tound with unscasornable game.On the other hand, they seem to try and assist the Game Club to have the existing law carried out.They no doubt see that this course will ultimately be for their best interest, as otherwise there would be no game left in the country in five or ten years.One of the Packing Companies\u2019 Managers states that, ignorantly, hie bought venison out of season last year, and mixed it with other meat, probably thinking it might improve the blood, but the reverse was the cuse, and the small proportion of game spoiled the whole packing.He is now a strong supporter of the game laws and the Game Club in doing good work in carrying out, as far as possible, the existing game laws, which, though very defective, are better than none, and the Club is alive to the necessity of having the law changed with the view of giving many kinds of game a better chance for breeding.THE CHURCHES TO-MORROW.Sr.PauL\u2019s Cuvrcu.\u2014 Morning service,

studies.When Willie was a small child he had a severe attack ot sickness, which left him deaf.He has for the last two years been attending the Mackay Deaf-Mute Institute in Montreal.The last letter written by him to his parents brought tears of joy to their eyes.Others were affected the same way who were acquainted with his serious yet pleasant face.He has made great progress while at the Institute, and can read and write with accuracy, add and substract numbers, multiply and divide, with an ease superior to many of his own age who have been sent to our common schools and are blessed with their entire intellect.This institution cannot be too highly spoken of.The principal is himself a deaf-mute, and is making the school a great success.There are now in attendance twenty-four boys and eleven girls, The main building is a fine stone structure with outbuildings for recreation in wet weather, work-shops, &c.The work-shops, a new enterprise, only need motive power\u2014which will be put in easy in the spring\u2014to make them complete.With this advantage the students \u2018can learn a trade if they desire, and enter upon business life with activity and success before them.\u2014 Coaticook Observer, Feb.12.THE SUPREME COURT AND MR.GIROUARD\u2019S BILL BEFORE THE BAR OF MONTREAL.Yestorday a meeting of the members of the Bar took place at the Court House, Montreal, to take into consideration the Bill of Mr.Girouard, M.P., for limiting the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court to Federal matters.On motion of Mr.W.H.KERR, Q.C., seconded by Mr.JOSEPH DOUTRE, Q.C., it was resolved, after discussion, and on a divison of 42 against 24, that the jurisdiction of the Court be left as it stands.With few exceptions, the leading members of the Bar voted with the majority.In seconding the motion of Mr.Kerr, Mr.DGUTRE made the following remarks :\u2014 The complaints from the Province of Quebec concerning the Supreme Court cannot.have any foundation, except on the extraordinary assumption that our system of laws is so much at vdriance with the judicial institutions of our sister Provinces that no man, however bright his intellect, however deep and varied are his studies and experience, can understand our Jaws, unless he has spent hig life in Lower Canada.Delusion is too mild a term to characterize such an opinivn.T would cail it a libel on ourlaws.Lawyers of some practice have almost every day to learn some parts of arts or sciences of which they have made no previous study.They have to digest and explain cither to the Court or a jury intricate téchricalities concerning the \u2018building of a bridge, case in surgery, of chemical affinities or come positions of certain articles\u2014of the management of a farm\u2014matters connected with sylvicullure, pisciculturn and all the un- aginable branches of manufdecture and industry.Lawyers must learn still more of the intricacies of banking and book-keeping.Did we ever hear that a painter, a plastercr or a manufacturer had been called upon to digest the evidence on his Ait ?Lawyers are not for doing so, obliged to know how to makea cornice or a sewing machine.They know what they are called upon to explain, and the judge or jury, geting on the same principle, decide what has heen explained to them, with a precision which astonishes the man of one Art or of que Science.How unreasonable it is, theu, to say that a Judge more familiar with a system of laws is unfit to understand a point, \u2018under another system of laws, fully \"explained to him.Itisa great mistake to imagine that there exist vast and innumerable differences between the English and French laws, in fact betzycen the judicial institutions of all countries in the world, When we read the decisions of tlie Privy Council in cases coming from India and \u2018governed by local laws, we find that, after all, the human head reasons pretty much the same way all over the , worl and has recourse to almost similar remedies for all grievances.Fhe experience we have had of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Coyneil shows that Judges, whose training has connected them with different systems of lays, nay safely be entrusted with the most complicated questions arising under any kind of judicial institutions.The more they have compared differences, the better fittéd they have become to apply, the results of experience.The Supreme Court has hardly been five years in existence.During that period, 46 cases of the Province of Quebec have been decided by that Court.Seventeen judgments appealed from have been reversed or allowed.Let any one test the fitness of its Judges by pointiug out one of these decisions as heing open to serious eritleism, To ; We could not work the political institutions, issued from the Confederation of the Provinces, without sich a Court If the necessity of such a tribunal could at any time be questioned, recent legislation in England has rendered that Court indispensable.The Appellate Jurisdiction Act of 1876 (39 and 40 V.,C.5) provides, Section 14, that whenever any two of the paid Judges of the udicial Committee of the Privy Council have died or resigned, they will be replaced by Lords of Appeal in Ordinary.One of head Jud es, Sir Jumes Colville, died on ccember lust.The Law Times of of a house, | of a railway, of a new invented machine, of a the 11th December, commenting on that event and on the Statute referred to, says i \u2014 * The effect of this Act, when\u2019it has come fally in operation will be most beneffria| for Fngland, may be), We shall then huve , S'r-t tame ia our history.what wiil be ; cally ihe same Court oi Appesi, foi {ite United Kingdom and that for India and the Colonies will be, for the most part, at all events, composed of the same persons, tnoush sitting under different names.\u201d The same journal lavours the new system, because It wil! bring uniformity throughout the whole Empire.For the same reason, we must have here a Court which will, on (questions of common interest in the Domihing, create uniformity of jurisprudence.Tibre is no doubt that the new English Ap- ] pelate Court, so composed, will be as strong, and probably stronger, than the present Judicial Committee.But when Canadian appeals will be mixed with a long list of English and other colonial vases, it will in all probability be impossible for Canadian suitors to protect their interests through their Colonial Counsel.I have not only confidence but admiration tor the high and perfect training of English barristers ; but close attention and care are not necessarily embodied with talent and learning.I would not advise an appeal to England, unless it should Le looked after on the spot, by a Canadian Counsel, familiar with the case,\u2014even if he should be in Court a silent bystander.The business before the Privy Council is now so regulated that, in most cases, Counsel from Canada, may arrive in London a day or two betore the hearing and return promptly.When Canadian cases will form part of a long list of appeals, it will perhaps require several months of attendance in ndon to obtain \u2018a hearing.For these reasons our supreme Court is more indispensable than ever, with its present jurisdiction.Now 1 may suggest to the modest Quebec inwyers, who think they could not understand an English Case, & 1nodifica- tion in the Constitution of that Court, us regards Quebec appeñls, which would require no increase in the number of Judges.Our appeals are limited to cases involving 32,000 and upwards.Let such appeals go direct to the Supreme Court from the Superior or Ree vision Courts, and let three Judges of our Queen\u2019s Bench, or five, if you like, go to Ottawa and sit in those Quebec cases, with the Judges or a bare quorum of the Supreme Court.The 27th section of the Supreme and and Exchequer Court Act of 1875, provides that an appeal shall lie directly to the Supreme Court from the judgment of the Court of original jurisdiction, by consent of parties.Let us make the rule of the exception.It would he a blessing for suitors to be suved a costly intermediate appeal, and such Court would have for us all the undisputed moral authority which it commands already in the other Provinces, On the other hand, it would bring in contact the leading lawyers of the whole Province and would tend to foster a spirit of common feelings on subjects which are now viewed from points of sectionalism.In the meantime we cannot hesitate for one moment in supporting the continuance of the Court as it is\u2014ieaving to the Provincial and Dominion Legislatures the duty of harmonizing it gradually with the varied requirements of the country.; SANITATION AND VENTILATION, To the Editor of the MONTREAL HERALD.Si1r,\u2014Experience proves that the present sanitary system, as applied to dwellings and buildings of all sorts, does not attain the desired object.Traps of every kind, instead of preventing the entrance of sewer gas, retain it, and become highly dangerous.; The important system now submitted by me does away with all traps within the building, because the closets, sinks and baths discharge direct into the soil pipe.Between the building and the sewer is placed a \u201c Patent TRAP,\u201d which effectually pre- venst the inlet of sewer gas, it is of sufficient size not to be fouled, and is provided with a check valve on the dip-plate to prevent its being unsyphoned by the suckage in the sewer, caused by the discharge from a neighbouring building ; on the right side of the trap is a grating for the tree admission of air into the soil pipe.Sewer gas as a rule will not escape from a confined sewer until it is saturated with the gas, as is always the case in ordinary trapped sewers; and since a free use of air is the best disinfectant for the ditfu- sion of such gases, the soil pipe is continued to the top of the building, and 1s fitted with one of the patent \u2018 Exhaust Terminals or Cowls.\u201d Tie Cowl is constructed on a principal similar to that of ¢¢ Giftard\u2019s Injector,\u201d and gives the greatest possible discharge at the lowest velocity of the wind.By the above-described arrangement it will be seen there is a constant flow of fresh air through the soil pipe, between the trap and the exhaust cowl; thus, no sewer gas can lodge in the pipe or drain, nor be discharged through the openings connected with the sinks, baths or closets, It 1s, therefore, evident that such an arrangement will add materially to the healthiness of any building, however well eonstructed.The system is peculiarly adapted for hospitals, and in such cases the -trap grating, through which the air is admitted, is fitted with a disinfector with trays for Chloralum, Carbolic acid, or any other disinfectant.The air being drawn by the exhaust cowl through the disinfector and the grating up the soil pipe, all zymotic germs in the sewer gas are destroyed.In houses fitted with the system where the closets are used, there is a down draught with the soil pipe, instead of the usual very disagreeable discharge of sewer gas upwards.By the system there is a regular and uniform supply of fresh air introduced at a proper temperature, whilst at the same time the foul air is being continuously extracted, and in both cases the current is imperceptible to the occupants of a room.To attain this object, a ventilating pipe is carried from top to bottom of the building, and an exhaust cowl is placed on the top.Each room is connected at the tloor and ceiling levels with the pipe, and is provided with openings with suitable regulators.Inlets are provided at the opposite side of the rdom at the ceiling level for the admission of fresh air.The openings being at the highest point in the room, above the heads of the occupants, there cannot possibly be any draught, and as the outlets into the ventilating shaft are at the ceiling and floor levels, the hot air in the former, and the foul air and carbonic acid in the latter case, are completely drawn oft.All the openings are so arranged that the velocity of the air within the room shall not exceed 3 feet per second.Provision can be made to heat the air before it is admitted into the room, thus largely saving fuel.The whole system, it will at once be seen, is of the greatest possible importance to the community at large, especially to those who are confined for a number of hours during the day.No subjects can command graver attention than those of sanitation and ventilation.The difficulties are certainly overcome, a most simple solution of the problem is arrived at, and the adoption of both the Trap and the Exnaust Cowr, in connection therewith, should be seriously considered.I remain, sir,

TICKET-SCALPING.To the Editor of the MONTREAL HERALD.Sir,\u2014Your article in reference to the above would lead one to suppose that I had purchased $2,000 worth of railway tickets for $400, when such is not the case, as the tickets were bought at a great deal higher rate than I could have purchased them since at the different Railway Companies in Chicago.The entire value cf the tickets will not exceed $400, and they cost me $300, and the balance, which was seized in their office on St.James street, was worth about 300.This seizure, to my mind, was only made to annoy and harass me, as they know these tickets were honestly purchased and at à fair price, and that the Company have not a shadow of a claim on them, as they have been fur the last two months in the hands of Mr.Edgar, the General Passenger Agent, and Mr.Simard, the General Travelling Agent of the Great Western Company, and was loaned to oblige them (so as to assist them to try and make a certain party disgorge, as they claim), and when I made a de MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, SATURDAY, mand for there tickets ut their office, I then discovered that they took a mean ihem.This, to my mind, is simply a method adopted to make our business odious and bring us into disrepute.Of course, these gentlemen have not to pay the expenses of a lawsuit out of their private purse, hence they can aflord to take any chance to gain an advantage by the delays and uncertainties ot the law.\u2018 Apologising for the space, I remain, vours truly, I.ABRAHAMS, Montreal, February 17, 1551.ABOUT PIANOS, PIANO

year not one of them have been tound with unscasornable game.On the other hand, they seem to try and assist the Game Club to have the existing law carried out.They no doubt see that this course will ultimately be for their best interest, as otherwise there would be no game left in the country in five or ten years.One of the Packing Companies\u2019 Managers states that, ignorantly, hie bought venison out of season last year, and mixed it with other meat, probably thinking it might improve the blood, but the reverse was the cuse, and the small proportion of game spoiled the whole packing.He is now a strong supporter of the game laws and the Game Club in doing good work in carrying out, as far as possible, the existing game laws, which, though very defective, are better than none, and the Club is alive to the necessity of having the law changed with the view of giving many kinds of game a better chance for breeding.THE CHURCHES TO-MORROW.Sr.PauL\u2019s Cuvrcu.\u2014 Morning service,

studies.When Willie was a small child he had a severe attack ot sickness, which left him deaf.He has for the last two years been attending the Mackay Deaf-Mute Institute in Montreal.The last letter written by him to his parents brought tears of joy to their eyes.Others were affected the same way who were acquainted with his serious yet pleasant face.He has made great progress while at the Institute, and can read and write with accuracy, add and substract numbers, multiply and divide, with an ease superior to many of his own age who have been sent to our common schools and are blessed with their entire intellect.This institution cannot be too highly spoken of.The principal is himself a deaf-mute, and is making the school a great success.There are now in attendance twenty-four boys and eleven girls, The main building is a fine stone structure with outbuildings for recreation in wet weather, work-shops, &c.The work-shops, a new enterprise, only need motive power\u2014which will be put in easy in the spring\u2014to make them complete.With this advantage the students \u2018can learn a trade if they desire, and enter upon business life with activity and success before them.\u2014 Coaticook Observer, Feb.12.THE SUPREME COURT AND MR.GIROUARD\u2019S BILL BEFORE THE BAR OF MONTREAL.Yestorday a meeting of the members of the Bar took place at the Court House, Montreal, to take into consideration the Bill of Mr.Girouard, M.P., for limiting the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court to Federal matters.On motion of Mr.W.H.KERR, Q.C., seconded by Mr.JOSEPH DOUTRE, Q.C., it was resolved, after discussion, and on a divison of 42 against 24, that the jurisdiction of the Court be left as it stands.With few exceptions, the leading members of the Bar voted with the majority.In seconding the motion of Mr.Kerr, Mr.DGUTRE made the following remarks :\u2014 The complaints from the Province of Quebec concerning the Supreme Court cannot.have any foundation, except on the extraordinary assumption that our system of laws is so much at vdriance with the judicial institutions of our sister Provinces that no man, however bright his intellect, however deep and varied are his studies and experience, can understand our Jaws, unless he has spent hig life in Lower Canada.Delusion is too mild a term to characterize such an opinivn.T would cail it a libel on ourlaws.Lawyers of some practice have almost every day to learn some parts of arts or sciences of which they have made no previous study.They have to digest and explain cither to the Court or a jury intricate téchricalities concerning the \u2018building of a bridge, case in surgery, of chemical affinities or come positions of certain articles\u2014of the management of a farm\u2014matters connected with sylvicullure, pisciculturn and all the un- aginable branches of manufdecture and industry.Lawyers must learn still more of the intricacies of banking and book-keeping.Did we ever hear that a painter, a plastercr or a manufacturer had been called upon to digest the evidence on his Ait ?Lawyers are not for doing so, obliged to know how to makea cornice or a sewing machine.They know what they are called upon to explain, and the judge or jury, geting on the same principle, decide what has heen explained to them, with a precision which astonishes the man of one Art or of que Science.How unreasonable it is, theu, to say that a Judge more familiar with a system of laws is unfit to understand a point, \u2018under another system of laws, fully \"explained to him.Itisa great mistake to imagine that there exist vast and innumerable differences between the English and French laws, in fact betzycen the judicial institutions of all countries in the world, When we read the decisions of tlie Privy Council in cases coming from India and \u2018governed by local laws, we find that, after all, the human head reasons pretty much the same way all over the , worl and has recourse to almost similar remedies for all grievances.Fhe experience we have had of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Coyneil shows that Judges, whose training has connected them with different systems of lays, nay safely be entrusted with the most complicated questions arising under any kind of judicial institutions.The more they have compared differences, the better fittéd they have become to apply, the results of experience.The Supreme Court has hardly been five years in existence.During that period, 46 cases of the Province of Quebec have been decided by that Court.Seventeen judgments appealed from have been reversed or allowed.Let any one test the fitness of its Judges by pointiug out one of these decisions as heing open to serious eritleism, To ; We could not work the political institutions, issued from the Confederation of the Provinces, without sich a Court If the necessity of such a tribunal could at any time be questioned, recent legislation in England has rendered that Court indispensable.The Appellate Jurisdiction Act of 1876 (39 and 40 V.,C.5) provides, Section 14, that whenever any two of the paid Judges of the udicial Committee of the Privy Council have died or resigned, they will be replaced by Lords of Appeal in Ordinary.One of head Jud es, Sir Jumes Colville, died on ccember lust.The Law Times of of a house, | of a railway, of a new invented machine, of a the 11th December, commenting on that event and on the Statute referred to, says i \u2014 * The effect of this Act, when\u2019it has come fally in operation will be most beneffria| for Fngland, may be), We shall then huve , S'r-t tame ia our history.what wiil be ; cally ihe same Court oi Appesi, foi {ite United Kingdom and that for India and the Colonies will be, for the most part, at all events, composed of the same persons, tnoush sitting under different names.\u201d The same journal lavours the new system, because It wil! bring uniformity throughout the whole Empire.For the same reason, we must have here a Court which will, on (questions of common interest in the Domihing, create uniformity of jurisprudence.Tibre is no doubt that the new English Ap- ] pelate Court, so composed, will be as strong, and probably stronger, than the present Judicial Committee.But when Canadian appeals will be mixed with a long list of English and other colonial vases, it will in all probability be impossible for Canadian suitors to protect their interests through their Colonial Counsel.I have not only confidence but admiration tor the high and perfect training of English barristers ; but close attention and care are not necessarily embodied with talent and learning.I would not advise an appeal to England, unless it should Le looked after on the spot, by a Canadian Counsel, familiar with the case,\u2014even if he should be in Court a silent bystander.The business before the Privy Council is now so regulated that, in most cases, Counsel from Canada, may arrive in London a day or two betore the hearing and return promptly.When Canadian cases will form part of a long list of appeals, it will perhaps require several months of attendance in ndon to obtain \u2018a hearing.For these reasons our supreme Court is more indispensable than ever, with its present jurisdiction.Now 1 may suggest to the modest Quebec inwyers, who think they could not understand an English Case, & 1nodifica- tion in the Constitution of that Court, us regards Quebec appeñls, which would require no increase in the number of Judges.Our appeals are limited to cases involving 32,000 and upwards.Let such appeals go direct to the Supreme Court from the Superior or Ree vision Courts, and let three Judges of our Queen\u2019s Bench, or five, if you like, go to Ottawa and sit in those Quebec cases, with the Judges or a bare quorum of the Supreme Court.The 27th section of the Supreme and and Exchequer Court Act of 1875, provides that an appeal shall lie directly to the Supreme Court from the judgment of the Court of original jurisdiction, by consent of parties.Let us make the rule of the exception.It would he a blessing for suitors to be suved a costly intermediate appeal, and such Court would have for us all the undisputed moral authority which it commands already in the other Provinces, On the other hand, it would bring in contact the leading lawyers of the whole Province and would tend to foster a spirit of common feelings on subjects which are now viewed from points of sectionalism.In the meantime we cannot hesitate for one moment in supporting the continuance of the Court as it is\u2014ieaving to the Provincial and Dominion Legislatures the duty of harmonizing it gradually with the varied requirements of the country.; SANITATION AND VENTILATION, To the Editor of the MONTREAL HERALD.Si1r,\u2014Experience proves that the present sanitary system, as applied to dwellings and buildings of all sorts, does not attain the desired object.Traps of every kind, instead of preventing the entrance of sewer gas, retain it, and become highly dangerous.; The important system now submitted by me does away with all traps within the building, because the closets, sinks and baths discharge direct into the soil pipe.Between the building and the sewer is placed a \u201c Patent TRAP,\u201d which effectually pre- venst the inlet of sewer gas, it is of sufficient size not to be fouled, and is provided with a check valve on the dip-plate to prevent its being unsyphoned by the suckage in the sewer, caused by the discharge from a neighbouring building ; on the right side of the trap is a grating for the tree admission of air into the soil pipe.Sewer gas as a rule will not escape from a confined sewer until it is saturated with the gas, as is always the case in ordinary trapped sewers; and since a free use of air is the best disinfectant for the ditfu- sion of such gases, the soil pipe is continued to the top of the building, and 1s fitted with one of the patent \u2018 Exhaust Terminals or Cowls.\u201d Tie Cowl is constructed on a principal similar to that of ¢¢ Giftard\u2019s Injector,\u201d and gives the greatest possible discharge at the lowest velocity of the wind.By the above-described arrangement it will be seen there is a constant flow of fresh air through the soil pipe, between the trap and the exhaust cowl; thus, no sewer gas can lodge in the pipe or drain, nor be discharged through the openings connected with the sinks, baths or closets, It 1s, therefore, evident that such an arrangement will add materially to the healthiness of any building, however well eonstructed.The system is peculiarly adapted for hospitals, and in such cases the -trap grating, through which the air is admitted, is fitted with a disinfector with trays for Chloralum, Carbolic acid, or any other disinfectant.The air being drawn by the exhaust cowl through the disinfector and the grating up the soil pipe, all zymotic germs in the sewer gas are destroyed.In houses fitted with the system where the closets are used, there is a down draught with the soil pipe, instead of the usual very disagreeable discharge of sewer gas upwards.By the system there is a regular and uniform supply of fresh air introduced at a proper temperature, whilst at the same time the foul air is being continuously extracted, and in both cases the current is imperceptible to the occupants of a room.To attain this object, a ventilating pipe is carried from top to bottom of the building, and an exhaust cowl is placed on the top.Each room is connected at the tloor and ceiling levels with the pipe, and is provided with openings with suitable regulators.Inlets are provided at the opposite side of the rdom at the ceiling level for the admission of fresh air.The openings being at the highest point in the room, above the heads of the occupants, there cannot possibly be any draught, and as the outlets into the ventilating shaft are at the ceiling and floor levels, the hot air in the former, and the foul air and carbonic acid in the latter case, are completely drawn oft.All the openings are so arranged that the velocity of the air within the room shall not exceed 3 feet per second.Provision can be made to heat the air before it is admitted into the room, thus largely saving fuel.The whole system, it will at once be seen, is of the greatest possible importance to the community at large, especially to those who are confined for a number of hours during the day.No subjects can command graver attention than those of sanitation and ventilation.The difficulties are certainly overcome, a most simple solution of the problem is arrived at, and the adoption of both the Trap and the Exnaust Cowr, in connection therewith, should be seriously considered.I remain, sir,

TICKET-SCALPING.To the Editor of the MONTREAL HERALD.Sir,\u2014Your article in reference to the above would lead one to suppose that I had purchased $2,000 worth of railway tickets for $400, when such is not the case, as the tickets were bought at a great deal higher rate than I could have purchased them since at the different Railway Companies in Chicago.The entire value cf the tickets will not exceed $400, and they cost me $300, and the balance, which was seized in their office on St.James street, was worth about 300.This seizure, to my mind, was only made to annoy and harass me, as they know these tickets were honestly purchased and at à fair price, and that the Company have not a shadow of a claim on them, as they have been fur the last two months in the hands of Mr.Edgar, the General Passenger Agent, and Mr.Simard, the General Travelling Agent of the Great Western Company, and was loaned to oblige them (so as to assist them to try and make a certain party disgorge, as they claim), and when I made a de MONTREAL HERALD AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE, SATURDAY, mand for there tickets ut their office, I then discovered that they took a mean ihem.This, to my mind, is simply a method adopted to make our business odious and bring us into disrepute.Of course, these gentlemen have not to pay the expenses of a lawsuit out of their private purse, hence they can aflord to take any chance to gain an advantage by the delays and uncertainties ot the law.\u2018 Apologising for the space, I remain, vours truly, I.ABRAHAMS, Montreal, February 17, 1551.ABOUT PIANOS, PIANO
