- PECTS Sr------ Booth Gntavio Fhserher ONLY ONE DOLLAR A YEAR = « Editor. JAMES BAIRD, TORT PERRY, APRIL 3, 1879. That Tariff. That the new Canadian tariff should form a theme of much dis- cussion and universal comment is only what was to be expected, what was to be desired and courted. Any ublic measure which cannot bear investigation or would go to pieces under discussion, has no claim to' public confidence or support. The| new tariff is decidedly a bold, we| had almost said daring, measure, | but severe diseases require powerful remedies, and if the dose be not equal to the emergency it better not be administered at all. Canada, possessed of everything which Hea von could bestow on the most favor- od lands, a healthful, salubrious climate, an almost unbounded (aq- main of fertile land, stored with vegetable and mineral treasures, inhabited by a vigorous, active, in- telligent population, was, notwith- standing all theso advantages, almost at a standstill on the march of progress. Our manufactures were paralyzed, our mercantile and com mercial intdrests were languishing, and our agricultural interests had to contend against odds, our people were becoming disheartened, skilled and unskilled labor was at a dis- count and hundreds of our young men were seeking in a foreign land those fields for their energy and en- terprise which were denied them at home. The then rulers clothed themselves their relations and favor. ites in purple and fine linen and tared sumpluously every day at the country's expense, but did not so much as raise a finger to rotard our downward course or introduce a bet tor state of things. The Americans were only mocking us, thuy forbade the products of our fields or factor ies to cross their borders without Passing over a high protective wall, ut they brought into our country whatever they pleased without pay- ing equivolent duty ; the result was that their workmen did the work that our own should have done, and they got the pay while ours had to go without. Tired of the do-no- thing, waste and blundering of the Mauckenzie Government, the people determined to have a change, aud by their ballots said that they would no longer tolerate a pack of worthless oxtravagant rulers, and wore deter- mined toenforce the introduction of a vigorous policy in place of the imbecility of the then Government. The new rulers were elected on the distinct understanding that rigid economy would be practiced in every department and a vigorous turiff in- troduced. The incoming Govern- ment had promised these things and the public will demand the firlfil- ment of these promises. In the matter of tariff they have fulfilled their promise like heroes, but their doing so has brought upon them and their taritf the most unscrupulous and vindictive opposition of those who advocated the stupid plunder: ing-do-nothing policy of the late rulers. Did the Opposition confine themselves to honorable criticism bowever sharp it might bo they were only doing their duty and de- served the thanks of the community, for a vigorous, honorable opposition is of little less importance to the weal of the country than the Gov- ernment itself. But when opposi. tion degenerates into wretched quibbling, obstructive tricks and cowardly misrepresentations, it be- comes absolutely ruinvus in ils effents ; and such is the character of the opposition offered by the Globe and its silly echoes to the new tariff. Nothing could be more unjust than the strictures of the Globe and its sattelites when dealing with this tariff question, * They knew that the Mackenzie Government had ran the best interests of the Dominion right into the ground and left' mat- ters so that whoever held the rein: of Government a much larger revenue--for the present at least-- must be raisel. But when the new rulers braved the the disappointment and displeasure of outsiders by introducing such a tariff as would liberate the country from the agricaltaral, manutactur- ing and commercial thraldom of our southren neighbors, in time revive the drooping industries of the country, give employment to our workmen and secure lo the people the full advantage of these invalu- able treasures of climate, soil, forest and mine which the God of nature has so lavishly bestowed upon us, and for the proper development of which we are responsible to poster- ity, they'had accomplished part of i was expected: ' Bat truo to its inscincts, the Globe asserted and reite the assertion that the new government had no in. tention to introduce a protective policy, that they had only used the ery 10 secure power and that the o was a false pretence. But the moment the tariff saw the light of day the Globe followed by its vietims entered upon a crusade ¢ ptible with us Jn 7 o higbest priced: teas coming CH into those markets the di The Tariff and its Detractors. It must be interesting outsiders; especially to tho of Canada, to read from day to day in the colamns of the Globe, the fl g anathemas hurled against the new tariff. But unforturately for the Opposition they allow their zeal to gec the better of their judg- ment aud in their anxiety to pre- |judice the public mind they go into jsuch extravaganges as render them and their criticisms alike ridical- ous. The Globe in seeking the opposia tion of farmers to the tariff offers such trash as the following : «1 is true that some farmers who live near the railway may gain a few cents by reason of the ceasing of American oats to compete with them, But - there is no scarcity of land fitted to grow oats, and if the price should raise at all, the market will be prom- ptly broken down by the increase of the local supply." Again the following is a sample of the stuff with which be seeks to feed those who have oats to buy. "A cabman, with four horses, says that he uses about 600 bushels of oats ytarly.-- Ten cents a bushel just takes sixty square dollars out of that man's pocket." {Could it be believed that a journal like the Globe would offer such rubbish to an intelligent people. If one statement were true it would prove the falsity the other, but it so happens that they are both false.-- Whole columns of similarly absurd quotations might be taken fiow Opposition organs, they would serve little puryose ; after the above tke: from their leader, nothing further need bo given to show the unscrup- ulous nature of their criticisms which can serve no other purpose than create bickerings at home, jealousies abroad and retard the natural development of the new policy. But the trouble with the Globeand kindred shcets is not so much the tariff as the loss of Government patronage, they would be well pleased with the tariffif they could unseat the present government.-- But it is carrying matters too far when parties who ought to know better seek for party purposes to create a false alarm by dinning in- to the ears even of ladies when go- ing to make their purchases that the new tariff has caused an envrmous rise in the price of teas, sugars, &c. Now what are the facts of the case ? In the matter of sugar the old tariff had a duty of 1 centperlb and 25 per cent ad valorem while the new charges 1 cent per pound, like the old, and 35 per cent. ad valorem. So that the only differ- enco between the old and new tariit in the matter of sugar is that while the old charges 25 per cent. ad val- orem, the new charges 35,0r, in other words, while the old tariff added one-fourth to the wholesale buying price the new tur ffadds a little over one-tuird to the whdlésale buying price. Suppose, for jnstance, that the wholesale price of such sugar on the market in which it is purchased is 6 cents por pound, the cost to the merchant by the old tariff would be six cents for the murket price, one and one-half cents for the ad valorem and one cent for the specific duty, making in all eight and one-half cents, and by the new tariff it would be six cents for the market price, two and one-tenth cents for the ad valorem and one cent for the specific duty, making in all nine and one- tenth cents. Then taking eight and one: half cents from nine and one-tenth cents, shows a difference of three fifths of a cent; that is, such sugar will cost about one-half cent ser pound more by the new than by the old tariff. So that by the old tariff 1131hs. of such sugar could be bought for a dollar, while by the new only 11ibs. can be bought for the dollar. Hence all the differ ence between the old and new tariff is three quarters of a pound on a dollar's worth. ~~ But this is on the the best quality of sugar, on other nalities the difference is still less. he specific duties by the old tariff and the new are exactly alike on all qualities of sugar. The ad valorem duty by the old tariff was 25 per cert. on all sugars, by the new tariff it is 35 per cent. on the best, and 30 on the other qualities, or in other words the old tariff added a duty of five-twentieths to the wholesale price, while the new adds six.twen- tieths, so that ono twentieth of a cent per pound is all the increase by the new tariff, so that parties who try to frighten ladies and children by. the bug bear of the great increase in the price of sugar in consequence of the new tariff ure playing a dis- honest part whether for personal gain or party purposes. On an average the new turiff wont make a difference of half a pound in a dollar's worth. : Again in the matter of tea, the duty by the old tariff was 5 ceuts per pound for black and 6 conts per pound for green or japan tea; by the new tariff the specific duty is 2 cts. per pound for black, and 3 cents for green or japan with 10 per cent ad valorem on all kinds. Good black tea may be purchared'in the who'e- sale murket of New York at 30 cts. per pound, 10 per cent of 30 is cents. This added 'to the 2 cents specific duty will make 5 cents to be added by way of daty, but that is exactly the same as the old tariff, reading to | so that the difference in the price of tea by the old tariff and the new "be 'very:small. Xven in rence made by the new tariff wont exceed | other cent or it may be a cent and a are) tariff will cost about five-sixths of a cent more per yard than by the old so that the price of bleached or unbleached cottons will pot be raised one cent per yard by the new tarift, Were it necessary the whole tariff might be gone over in a similar manner and show that very much of the alarm is uncalled for and only the result of misrepresentation and exaggeration with a view to make political capital out of the alarm, The introduction of the Canadian policy is a bold dash at, securing for Canada the full advantage of the many facilities she enjoys of becoming great, prospérons and happy, and every patriot will be willing to give it an honest and faithful trial before condemn. ingit. Never mind the croakers who for sin. | ister motives distort it in every possible way. ------ The Question of the* Hour. Hon. D. L. Macpherson has given notice ofa motion in the Senate, calling attention to the increasing annual e¢penditure. in the Depari- ment of the Public Service, and en- quiring if the Government bas under consideration a scheme ot substantial retronchment. This is as it ought to be and it is to be hoped thst the Hon. Senator | will press this matter to success- | ful issue tor of all other questions | oven the tarift itself is secondary to | the great subject of retrench- ment. It matters little what measures may be introduced if the taxes of the toiling ones are to continue to be swallowed up in the vortex-ot universal waste and plan- der uy thépchave for yeurs past, and no governmeut--it matters not by what name it may be known--is eithicr worthy of or can maintain the confidence of the people unless it introduces at 'once and promptly carries through a decisive and sub swntial scheme of retronchment by which the many bundreds of thou- sands of dollars which are needless ly expended every yeur may be saved to the country and the tuxes of the people reduced to the lowest possible cent. The issue of the contest of the 17th of September last may well prove a | salutary lesson to all tuture govern. | ments in this country, what has been done once can easily be repeat-- ed and from that time forward no government will be atle to retain the confidence of the people unless by vigorous legislation aud the ex- ercise of the most rigid economy in every department. The cunning ones would fuin have it believed that the fall of the Mackenzie Govern- ment was entirely attributable to the National Policy ery, such, how- ever, was by no means the fact, and they know it, the shameful wv and extravagance of the Mack Government combined with imbecile. legislation alienated people and caused them to seek a a change But a change of rulers was not all that the electorate de- manded they wanted a change of moasures, active legislation and the utmost economy substituted for the imbecility and waste of the Macken- zie regime--the people want these and they will take no less. Two hundred and six fuil grown men crowding into the legislative bulls at Ottawa appears to be too mach ot a-good thing, and each member gett- ing $1000 for the few weeks he at- tends looks as if the taxpayers had got more money than they know what to do with. Why could not 100 men perform-the duties at least as well as 206; this would be the sav ing of 106 members at $1000 cach and would amount to $106,000 of saving every year. This is only a portion, and a small portion, of the saving which can and must be made in the cost of our legislation, A retrench- ment crusade must be entered on and thoroughly prosccuted until the extravagant expenditure in our Dominion and Local governments is reduced to the very lowest cent compatable with the efficient man- agement of the public affairs. TItis little wonder that the N. Y. World treats us to the following deserta- tion. There was a time when (Canadiafis could afford to look with holy horror upon their American neighbors and rebuke them for expensive administration of public affairs and a monstrous accumnlation of debt,-- That time, if we may judge from the public accounts of the Dominion of Canada brought i their the ® poor and unfortunate, dry the widow's tears, feed and protect the orphan, and gencrally stretch a helping band to aid a brother strug- gling against the storms and breakers of life's rough sea. The 1.0.0 F. occupies a distinguished place amongst the many glor- ious institutions of civilized and enlightened society, -------- Live Stock. The market for live stock during the past week has been lively and encouraging, buyers were active, sellers were willing to meet them and the result was that large numbers of live stock changed hands at such prices as were satisfactory to all, On Sat urday last American buyers were at the Walker House here picking up heavy horses | as fast as they came torward if they were satisfied with the horses and the owners were willing to accept the price offered, The Village had all the appearance of a fair day. A very large number of splendid horses were brought in'and a handsome sum of money realized from sales, The business in the cattle line was still mare active and encouraging. Messrs. Bon- gard & Elliott, one of the most active and liberal stock. buying firms in the Province, | were making things lively in the live stock market--they were not touching horses. They succeeded in getting a couple of car loads of fine animals at prices which the sellers were very willing to accept and at which they could well afford breeders should sirive to raise more good stock cattle, Sheep and swine were picked up as fast as they presented themselves at such prices as show stock raising to be one of the most im. ortant departments of farming pursuits, though it has not been attended to in the past as it ought to have been. Thoro aro tow classes in the community of mcre importance to the prosperity of the agricultural interssts of a counfry than the cattle buyers, and few perform their duties with so little display, But the occupation is no sinecure, itis very laborious, requires good judgment, is attended with con<ider able expense, pretty heavy investments with no small risk, Without the liberal, active buyer aoything worth the name of stock raising could not be followed and thus one of our most valuable departments of agricul ture would of necessity die, and raising stock with no prospect of getting it market- ed is something in which no one would like to indulge, But muchas is being done and well done in the stock department much more might be done with largely increased profits both to toe breeder and to the buyer; a larger o tlay and a little more attention to the quality of the stock would be well re: paid and largely increase this important and profitable branch of trade. It is to the energy and liberality of our stock dealers, whether breeders or buyers, that the country is indebted for the somewhat daring attempt but now firmly established aud highly pro. fitable trade of carrying our live stock into European markets and not only competing with the stock breeders of those lands but actually driving them out of their own mar: kets Our cattle first found their way into the British markets, Up till then Fiance, Holland, Germony and other Continental countries supplied Britain with beef cattle, but our cattle made short work with them and soon controled the British marke But not satisfied with driving these Corti- nentals home, American cattle are now fol lowing them into their own markets and threatening to drive them out of these also For one thing our breeders pay more atten. tion to the quality of their stock, and arc willing to invest more liberally in securing the right kind of stock. What is true of our cattle is no less true of our sheep. Fir. Cattle as They Should Be.--Mr. J. Don- gard, one of our most liberal and pgpular cattle buyers is to-day shipping for Montreal acarload of some of the finest cattle ever shi ped from this station and we think there isdittle donbt but that they will take the first prize in the Montreal Easter beefshow and they deserve it. Mr. Bongard never hesitates to give a handsome price for choice cattle. Dominion Parliament. Our readers ave doubtless deeply interested in the proceedings of the Dominion Parlia ment, but so far it has been the tariff, the whole tariff, and nothing but the tariff We have lately had an infliction of the walking craze in many of our large cities, but the City of Ottawa has caught the talking, craze the very worst way. The walkists bave lately adopted the phrase ¢' go as you please" which means that the partivs may go as they best can, running. walking or on all fours, and not a few of our talkists appear to have adopted the phrase talk as you please, for day after day we have hon. members occu- pying the floor two, three and more hours voing over and over again press discussions and platform speeches which have _been dinned through the country for the past couple of years, such speeches, in fact, as parties might be excusible in reading if their ives were of antedeluvian duration, but no mau who is circumscribed to the paltry three score and ten dare read such speeches and be guiltless, When the tariff gets through we shall have a variety, ---- Europe. European news has little that is new and less that is interesting to Canadians. Queen V ctoria is now on a visit to the continent, she is now in Itlay. European nations plod along in their usual course. France has a calm and placid surface with several rapid under currents. Protec- tion and Free Trade appear to be the question of the hour with a strong leaning towards the jormer. down last week, is past. The population of Canada in 1871 was 3,485,761 ; at present 1t | way be called 4,000,000, while a fair estim- ate of our own population is 44,000,000. It is not easy to make an exaet comparison of debts, for the Canadians deduct $34 595.199 from their liabilities as the value of their assets ; this, however, leaves a net debt of $140,364,070 due at the close of the last fiseal year, ad increase of $7,000,000 during the year. As compared with the United States, Canada's debt on the 30th of June last was nearly $35;20 for each head of the population, ours being over $46.25. The Canadians had a deficit in ordinary transac- tions last year of $1 128,146, as against $1- 460,027 the year before, while the total ex- penditure was $11,041 919. If Canada had our population and conducted her operations on this scale, the expenditure for the gov. ernment of 41,000,000 people would be $451 461,109, whereas the total expenditure of the United States during the last fiscal year, in- cluding the interest on debt, was $236,964, 327. Or, deducting $8,000,000 for the public debt items in Canada und leaving out the charges to capital account, we have the net ordinary expenditure of Canada $15,500- 000, or $3.87} a head, as compared with our $134,500,000, or $3.57 a head, And we spend about $76,500,000 on our army and pavy and in payment of pensions. Of a verity it is time for our.Canadian neighbors to take in sail. ---- Annual Abstract. An abstract of theannual returns of the Grand Lodge of the 1.0.0.F., for the province of Ontario for 1878.

Honest Billy. --After recounting Honest Billy's good condact at Orillia, the Globe SAYS 1-- "This makes the sixteenth race in which Houest Billy has contested this winter and heis such a thoroughly good campaigner that he finishes the winter tiotting season a good deal better horse than when he com- menced it, He has never been so badly + off" ar not to be able to give a good ac- count of himself, and he comes out of the campaign without having received a cut or a scratch He has won a very fair share of his races, and has only once been so unfortunate as not to secure some portion of the money offered for the contest. Once he has had to content himself with ¢hird money, but, ex. cepting on this occasion, and on that already mentioned where he won nothing, he has always been either first or second." The above from a competent judge aud one who bas seen a good deal of Billy's work, is highly flattering to Billy and must be encouraging to his ewner. His present wwner, Mr, Kellett, paid a pretty high figure for Billy when he was only a colt, and a good many judged that the price paid was too high ; but time has shown that Mr, Kellett was right and that Billy was cheap even at the high figure paid for him, for good as he is Le has not yet attained his best and in all likelihood will yet add materially to Lis already splendid record.

A policeman named Lesley attempted to arrest a nam named Puncheon for alleged indecency to Lesley's wife. Puncheon re- sisted the arrest, and struck the policeman, who, with assistance, threw him down and handcuffed him, and then charged him, nct only on the original charge, but also with assaulting him in the execution of his duty, on which latter charge the nam was con- victed and sentenced to a month's imprison- ment, with hard labor. He appealed against astices, Mr. McCalmont, on his behalf, con- to arrest bin without a warraut on a charge ofa misdemeanor which he had not himself witnessed, so that the attempt at arrest was unlawful, and was lawfully resisted by the party, who, therefore, could not be convicted of assaulting the policeman " in the execu- tion of his duty," the policeman, so far from being *¢ in the execution of his duty," being engaged in an illegal act, in itself an assault, The Court adopted the view thus submitted them and quashed the conviction, Anyone, they said, had a right to resist un- lawful apprehensions, so that he did not use excessive means or inflict any unnecessary injury. And in this instance it appeared that the arrest was illégal, as the policeman did not witness the alleged misdemeanor and had no warrant He was not, therefore, at the time of the assault © in the execution of his duty," and so the conviction could pot be supported. Conviction accordingly quashed, Good News for Stock Breeders. The Telegram says :--That a company is being formed at Flushing for the impoita- tion. of American cattle into Germany this is a pleasing evidence of tho growing impor- tance of the cattle raising industry of this continent. For many years back England has drawn her supplies of common cattle from France, Belgum, Holland, Germany and Denmark. These countries were necessary to England as cattle producers, and now we see that America can not only supply England, but is about to invade the continential markets, Americrn cattle can be shipped with advantage to the countries we have named ; for though the price of native cattle may be as low, the quality: of the ani- mals to be imported is such as will secure a ready sale, 0 Protection with a Vengeance. ¢ Our British fellow subjects are going into Protection at the point of the bayonet.
