When the issue was raised in the House the Minister of Customs at once made the defence that the deâ€" cision was the work of the Boards of Customs, of which Mr. MeDouâ€" gald was head. It was, he argued. merely a simple interpretation of the letter of the statute: and as evidence of its good faith he cited the approval of John MeDougald. who had been Commissioner and A n th tat n John _ McBDougald Interprets the Customs Tariff, Tariff making is of immense imâ€" portance to the industries of the country ; but only less so is tariff interpretation.

The verses selected as the basis for our temperance lesson toâ€"day are a part only of a longer passage (Rom. 14. 1 to 15. 6) in which the apostle Paul discusses the broader theme of Christian toleration, or the relationship beâ€" tween the strong and the weak in faith. In preceding chapters he has spoken of Christian sacrifice, of the relation of the Christian disâ€" ciple to others not of the faith; he has discussed such subjects as Christian vengeance, the relation between the church and the state, the one great obligation of every Christian disciple, and the law of love. In this chapter he proceeds to exhort those who have grasped the fuller meaning of the Christian faith that they condemn not their fellow Christians who are still bound by detailed rules relating to food and drink and the observance of certain days. He has urged upâ€" on his readers the necessity of each one becoming established in his own mind with regard to essentials and nonessentials of daily conduct. He points out that it is to Christ alone that each will be responsible, and proceeds in the verses of our lesson passage to exhort once more against censoriousness, adding also an exhortation to those strong in faith that they place no obstacles in the way of their weaker fellowâ€" Christians.

His father was Dougald McDougald, and his mother Elizaâ€" beth Fraser, and he was born in Blue Mountain, Pictou county, sixtyâ€"five years ago last March. Before he enterf-g the public serâ€" vice he was a merchant in Westâ€" ville and had been a county counâ€" cillor for a term before entering ceived the confidence of the people. |Paterson and McDougald were soon ’wnrking together as fast friends. land their mutual confidence ‘was \never shaken to the end. _ Once \ more the commissioner has now |seen a change of Ministry; and once more the confidence of Minisâ€" ter and of commissioner is mutual. This time the Minister is & political friend of Mr. McDougald‘s old poliâ€" tical allies; but that makes no difâ€" ference to this faithful public offiâ€" [cer. He was loyal to the Liberals,. he is loyal to the Conservatives, but |he is no more. 1 An Exeellent Servant. !_ There is a good deal of criticism heard of the appointment of poliâ€" ticians to Government posts, and no doubt the general objection is well taken. Neverthcless, it must be admitted that the bad princivle }}ms given the Dominion a number of excellent public servants. John McDougald is one of these. In the early days the miners of Picton county sent two members to Parliaâ€" ment, and he was the colleague of Sir Charles Tupper in representing the constituency from 1881 to 1896. There must have been some great political battles in Pictou in those days with the dour McDougald and the impetuous Tupper fighting side by side. At all events, Sir Charles did the Dominion a good turn when he made his running mate Commisâ€" sioner of Customs. Mr. MeDougald is Seotch of the it t He was appointed in May and Sir Wilfrid Laurier came into office in July. Hon. William Paterson was given control of the Customs and he left Mr. McDougald at his post. In its result the commissioner, alâ€" though appointed by a moribund and unfriendly administration, was true to the new men who had reâ€" appointed by the Tupper adminisâ€" tration just before it went out of office after its short tenure in 1896. [T'nead of the Customs Board throughout the Liberal regime. In the end, it will be remembered, the case was taken to the courts and the new interpretation was set aside. The point I wish to make here is that Mr. McDougald is the man who had to bear the responsiâ€" bility for the interpretation. Of course, that made no illâ€"feeling beâ€" tween him and his old Liberal friends, because they know that the real responsibility rested on the Minister of Customs himself. Discreetly Silent. Through it all the dour commisâ€" sioner kept a discreet and unvaryâ€" ing silence. That was his duty, but that is also the type of man he is. He is one of the most silent men in the service of the Government. He gathers his officials around him for conferences on different points that crop up, and he asks their opinion and listens carefully. He speaks just enough to make his meaning clear and not one word more. He is as economical in his employment of words as the tradiâ€" tional Scot is of pennies.
