The negotiations were duall‘iconcluded by the transfer of the boat wi all her unconsum- able stores on board to the Canadian Govern- ment. and on investigation it was discovered that there were no stores of any descrip- tion to be found. On examination of the correspondence it would be found that the vessel was described as an old type of corvette that had served seven and a half nan in the Chinese sees: that she was entyJears old; had neither provisions nor co on board; and that it was neces- sary to purchase a heavy anchor to keep her steady in port. The speed of the ves- sel was stated to be seven knots per hour. and the number of men required to work her was placed at 180. An inspection of the engines revealed the fact that they were much worse than was expected. and considerable trepidation was felt in attemptingtocross the ocean in winter weather. or in fact in any weather. The inspectors reported that the con- dition of her boilers at that time ren- dered an attempt to cross the sea almost certain to be attended with the loss of the vessel and all on board.

Coal. instead of being ncreaeed in price, had actually been decreased. The ulk of coal from the United States was fixed and governed by competition. The‘ moment duty was imposed on coal going‘ into Ontario it became a competitive point and the United States were threat- ened to have their Ontano mar- ket displaced by Nova Bcotia coal, In 1881 there were 341.289 tons of coal sent out from the Nova Scotia mines more than 1878. The number of men employed was increased by 465. The number of da s worked was increased by 184,918. In liKe manner the import of coal at Montreal and Quebec and the tonnage of shipping from Sydne had largely increased.

He opened by saying that he did not discuss the question of protection and free trade as an abstract question. Although the free trade policy adopted by England was ' considered the best for that country. it would not affect the issue between parties here. He maintained, how- ever, that as a practical matter the tariff of Canada must: be to a large extent charged to bear a proper rela- tion-to that of the great repubhctothe south of us. He would be able toshow ' that the low tarifi of 186? was sufii- ‘ cient protection for Canada under the ciro; cumstanoes of that time. The great war had so demoralized the labor market of the United States that Canada was enabled to compete against her neighbors to advan- tage. At the time there was little machinery manufactured in Canada. and the Govern- ment allowed all except that of the class manufactured here to enter tree, so as to encourage the establishment of factories. In the great fishing industry also a pohcy of protection had been pursued. All would remember the taunts thrown across the House and pro heoies that nothing would ever be receiv , yet as a result of that they had received 84,500,000. and today the Min- ister of Finance came down and demanded, and justly demanded, that no less than $150,000 should be voted as a bonus to the fishermen whose fishing grounds were to a certain extent given overto the fishermen of other countries. This would show that the same policy of 1867 was now being carried outâ€"a policy of protection. They would remember also that the first Conservative Government had endeavored to have a tax imposed on coal and on agri- cultural products. He (BirCharles Tupper) had, from the first moment he enteredthe House. advocated a duty on coal. for, as a pure matter of revenue. he could see no reason why it should be exempt from duty any more than an other article. The ex~ Finance Minister ad denounced the taxon goal as an Odie? tax, and the leader t?! tl‘ale posi 'on s e against it as sec on . They arguetfothat it wasa tax ona necessary of life. Yet this same gen~ tleman put a tax on clothing, which was in this country more a noessary oflife than coal. Coal oil was alsoa necessary of life, and et tor two years a strugglehad been carri on against the late Governmentto reduce the tax on coal oil, andwas not this asectional tax ?

The hon. gentle. man in his remarks had given utterance to a deliberate insult upon the Minister of Finance. a gentleman who, from a oom- paratively humble sphere in life. had risen to occupy one of the highest positions that itwas in the gift of the people to‘ bestow. At the end of three years and four months the Government had 90 of a majority at their back. strengthened by the free will of the sovereign independent people OI the oountr , and the blight that existed under the ministration of hen. gentlemen opposite had been removed. and they recognized that the true interests of every class of the p_op‘ulation__wa_s to maintain and take courage while the present Finance Minister had charge of affairs. He would find that public works could be carried on without increased taxation. and without making the interest on the debt greater. The surplus was not. as was claimed, taken out of the pockets of the people. At least $760,000 ct it came out of money saved on the Intercolonial that would otherwise have been spent. Although the expenditure in some branches of the public service was larger than before, the revenue was alsol er. After the cost of ‘ construction of the acific Railway. every dollar of which expenditure was provided for. the Finance Minister ha been able to show that the ublic debt would only be ”03.000000. e would draw attention to the statement made by that hon. gentlemen ‘ that if all the fertile lend of the Northwest were disposed of at 81 per acre. and the hon. gentleman opposite could not question that calculation. it would reduce the debt of Canada to $100,000,000.

When arrested the woman was ‘living with her mother at No. 4 Gregson street. Liverpool. and dressed in feminine attire. She is of very slender build, and of extremely masculine appearance. Dur- ing the journey she several times ocm-‘ plaiaed of illness and wanted the detective to alight, but no notice was taken of the request. which was believed to be only a ruse to attempt to escape. When in the dock she might easily have been mistaken for a man.wearlng as she did a Newmarket overcoat and her hair being out quite short.

The inance Minister had claimed that the National Policy benefitted the rich]- turai implement makers in giving t em a home market, and enabling them to extend trade in the Northwest. but manufac- turers in this line had a market before. and even had they been given no advan- tage exce t an ass means of access to the count t ey woul have held the market in the orthwest also. Carriages had also been referred to, but all they could be shown was that while the duty on the material for carriages was increased. the rice had gone down. If the Finance 'nister expected to at much support from the carriage man acturers he would find himself mistaken. In calculating the increase of the number of operatives in the factories the Finance Minister counted even little children, and then calculated each hand as a head of a family of four, :thus arriving at. his extraordinary, state- ment. that the encouragement given had resulted in giving sustenance to 100.000‘ lextra people.
