Middicton, Archibald Thom, In the Catholic Presbyterian for Februâ€" ary, the Rev. Dr. Lang discusses the quesâ€" tion of Revival and Revivalism. Dr. Lang, is a gentleman of some note in the church, and as the suecessor of Dr. Norman Mcâ€" Leod as pastor of the Barouy Church in the eity of Glasgow, is entitled to be heard on any subject bearing upon the work of the Christian church. _ Morsover, Dr. Lang has great sympathy with the Revival movement as manifested in our day. 1t is mot only that he has been a sympathetic vnlooker, but while many others stood nloof, he threw himself into the current of revivalism, took an activs part in revival meetings, avd defended the revival moyeâ€" ment from the platform and in the pross. ltis very difficult to form a correct jadgâ€" ment on the good and evil in any public agitation while events are in progress, but now that several years have elapsed, since the . wave of revivalism in which Mr. Moodie played so prominent a part, and in whuicsh Dr. Lang took a very lively intesest, â€"The Legislative Council of Nova Seotia has decided, by a vote of thirteen to seven nguinst the Bill to abolish the council.

Mowever, on account of the ice jam at Detroit the oats were not sent over before Friday week the day on which the new tariff carmme iuto foree, and in counsequence Mr. Elliott countermanded the order. On being asked by Mr. Rymal, the witty member for Wentworth, why he did so, he readily roplied, "I _ was not going to pay the increased duty." "What duty" nsked Mr. Rymal, "you maintain that the producer and not the consumer pays the duty." Mr. Elliott‘s confusion may be more readily imagined than described. way. â€" Last fall he sold himself to Sir Joln A. Macdonald, the guid pro gwo being a heavy duty on imported furniture and no duty on woods used by Mr. Hay in the manufacture of furniture. â€"An examination of the tarriff shows that while pine lumber and timber used in the construction of dwellings, &c., are Charged twenty per cont a¢ velorem, lumâ€" ber of boxwood, cherry, waluat, chestnut, makhogany, pitch pine, rosewood, sandal weod, Spanish cedar, oak, hickory, &c., not 'minghcturod are admitted free.

The hardwouds mentioned nre ‘grown in Canada, and if the readjustâ€" meut of the tarriff had been equitable, a duty should have been placed upon them, so as to shut out American woods, and thereby increase the profits of the Canadian farmer.

LeaÂ¥, a utronslrindolmuh.hlmg. a" siderable experionce aud several we* fAcction upen the subject. ~Indeed, it is difficult to conceive bow a different opinion The more the Policy of the Government is examined the more disappointing and vexatious it will appear to be. Instead of being protective, in the sense of protecting everything and everybody, it is a most cunningly devised scheme for the enrichâ€" ment of a very few avd the impoverishment of the many. But of all classes of the comunity, there is none npon whom the vnew tariff will tell, first and last, with more oppressive force than iarmers and labourers â€" the bone and sinvew of the country. â€" It is an old adage that the farâ€" mer was an ass who carried most of the burden and ate least of the hay, and verily the Government of Sir John A. Macâ€" l donald has estimated the patient endurance of the farmer to be very great indeed when it set about the construction ot the National Policy. It is not only that the duties on those articles which are necessities in every household are very much increased, but this increase of duty raises the price from ten to twentyâ€"five per cent to the consumer over and above the amount of duty. Thus as Mr. Charlton stated in the House of Commons if a duty of 20 per cent. was imâ€" posed on an ariicle, the wholesale merchant who purchased it, put on his profit of say 10 per cent on the original cost and the duty, and the retailer of it imposed his duty of say 25 per cent on the original cost, including the duty. It will then be found that upon articles carrying a duty of 25 per cent the actua‘ rise to the consumer will be 34 per cent. if the duty is 40 per cent, the rise will be 55 per cent ; if the duty is 50 p.câ€" the actual rise will be 68 p.c. ; if 75 p.c., 100 p.c., and so on. Thus crockery, which bears a duty of 25 per cent, will be charged at least 34 p.c. over cost to the consumer. Woollen eloths, tweeds, shawls, &c., which pay a duty of 40 per cent, will be charged at least 55 p.c. over cost, and cotton goods, flannels, | blankets, &c., which pay 50 p.c. duty will eost the consumer nearly 70 per cent over the original price of the goods. It will thus be seen what a gross blunder was committed by the clectors in allowing themâ€" seives to be deluded as they have been, and all for what purpose? To evrich a few manutacturers at the expense of the whole community. â€" But says. Mr. Tilley, we want reciprocal trade, and will compel the Americaus to come to terms by enacting against them a reciprocal tariff. _ Nothing could be more fallacions. It is not by a policy of retaliation that wrong can righted, any more between governments than beâ€" | tweenu individuals. Aud in a country like ' ours with a population of four millions nnd1 a frontier of over three thousand miles, to )nttvmpt a war of tariffs with the United States is as absurd as Mr. Partington‘s mop and pail attempts against the Atlanâ€" te. The probability is that the feeble atâ€" tempts at retaliation on the part of the Government, will have the effect of exasâ€" perating the Amerisan people, and that within a very short time such a tariff will be enaeted by Congress as wiil effectually exelude the products of our farms and for ests from the American markets. Such a course has already been indicated by the American press, and should it be carried into execution our people will have one more illustration of the blessings of the National Policy. can be formed by any candid observer. Every one will admit the necessity of orâ€" ganization and a central authority in carryâ€" ing forward any work, secular or religious. And it is to be regretted that the spirit of modern revivalism would seem to impel the leaders of the movement, not only to place therselves outside of church organâ€" ization, but above it, as we have withes sed in this town and neighborhood ; and theroby,not only frustrating the cause which they profess to serve, but as Dr. Lang says, "with infinite harm to themselves, and the risk of doing hurt to religion by crude and often foolish expositions of Divine thines," On Dit.â€"Lord Mitchellson, and suite, who are at present making a tour of Canâ€" ada, have arrived in town, and aro putting up at the International. _ We understand that in the course of their ramables im the neighborhood, they visited Mr. Christopher Firth of Glenelg.

Though there was so much cutting jin the "campaign" no blood was to be seen, that was no doubt due to a covering of a peculiar yellow metal of a compound nature with which the member is at all times protected.

The debate was continued for some time afterwards, and it was remarkable that the members who spoke on the Government side availed themselves of the opportunity to press on the consideration of the Government their claims for the dismissal otf certain officials in their respective localities. The charges made agninst the officials ‘were of the most vague and general character, and were indeed ouly so many hints to the Government for their dismissal. It is, however, remarkable that Mr. Tilley replied that when he found that this recommendation was made he had informed the Governorâ€"General that he had no intention of accepting the apâ€" pointment, and called upon the Premier to state that when the Order in Council was passed he know nothing about it, and was out of the country, as he wished this matter settled. Mr. MeDonald (Picton) had the bad judgement at eleven o‘clock, after the disâ€" cussion had dragged through two days, to make a violent and general attack on the late Government.

Orrawa, Mar. 19. A nuraber of returns were laid on the table by the Ministers of Public Works and €ustoms. A debate rose on a motion by Mr. Huntâ€" ington asking for papers, &c., respecting the dismissal of Mr. Regis Cardinal, hereâ€" tofore an employee of the Iniand Revenue Department, in which, while the Opposiâ€" tion denounced the introduction of the American system of dismissals in the Civil Service, several members of the Ministerial supporters boldly announced themselvos as advocates of the doctrine that to the victors belong the spoils, The dobate was adjourned at six o‘clock. March 20. After routine the debate was resumed on Mr, Huntington‘s motion with reference to the dismissal of Regis Cardinal. Charges and counter charges were freely made with referonce to dismissals from office for poâ€" litical reasons. ‘The most important cirâ€" cumstance consisted in the vigorous general reply of Mr. Huntington with reference to such accusations, as related to his adminisâ€" tration of the Postâ€"office Departmont. He declared that the charges were false and defied the Ministerialists to appoint a Cormâ€" mittee and prove that their allegations were well grounded. Mr. Mills made an effective reply, in the course of which he brought the Minister of Finance to his feet to deny that he had ever sat in the House and voted with the commissioh as Lieutenantâ€"Governor of New Brunswick in his pocket. _ Mr. Mills pointed to the date ot the Order in Counâ€" cil appointing the hon. gentleman as Ocâ€" tober 27. The Premier, in roply to the same member, said that the Government did not intend at present abolishing the postage on newspapers in the county or city of publication, Mr. Huntington and the Premier both contended, on information supplied by the Department, that mo such letter as that described was ever on file.

He exâ€" pressed regret that a member of tie House, who was editor of the Currier du Canada, had so far abused his position as to slander a felâ€" lowâ€"member. A brief discuesion ensued, in which Hon, Mr. Anglin, as a Roman Catholic, said that déuring his whole presence in the House he had not heard a single offensive word against the Roman Catholic religion uttered by the hon. member for Shefford, and the charges against him were vile slanders. The éebate on the tariff was resumed., and Mr. Cartwright requested the Finance Minâ€" ister to complete his financial statement, but that gentlcman deelined to do so till Wodnosâ€" d.;‘ nxfi. _ NMr. Robertson, the junior member for T{amilton, addressed the House in Aavour of the tariff, and he read letters ‘from woolien and tool manufacturers to prove that the tariff gave satisfaction to manufacturers as & whole. It is strange that the hon. gentleman should have selected iron industries, which are enormously protected, amd which bear no relation to the large mass of discontented manufactiirers, _ Judging from his speech, "which was remarkeble for the provalence of the personal pronoun "I" in every sentence, he claims the honour of being father to the muchâ€"fathered National Policy, Mr. Sproule addressed the Hoyse till recess in favour of the tariff, and after recess Dr. Strange continued in the same strain. Mr. G. W. Ross (Middlesex), â€" im ponibly‘ his most brilliant speech, ably criticised the tariff, and demonstrated to the satisfaction of the unprejudiced its oppressive character and anomalies. â€" His argument was clear, forcible, and convincing, and his facts carefully and painstakingly collated, He described thetariff, exposing its anomalies to the scrutiny of the House, and in the concluding portion of his speech condemned the Government‘s class legislation, and foretold the evil consequencer as the result of the system of bribery to the various Proyinces, as well as manufacturing industries, initrated by it. In striking contrast were the spoeches of Meser#. Rannerman and Patterson (Eesex), who followed. The first mentioned member‘s address appeared to mainly consist of a hisâ€" torical disquisition on the protectionmst proâ€" clivities of the ceighteenth century ; while the member for North Essex was much troubled with remembrances of the 17th of September, which remembrance appeared to trouble him mere than it did tha Opposition berches, A most remarkable fact in connection with the Governmeni‘s supporters on the back benches is, that when they eseay to address the House the burden of their song is "‘the 17th of Sepâ€" tember," as if there were no political Waterâ€" | 100 in th« beginning of 1874. byterian Church, Detrvit..

If Canada can shut out British manufactures en the plea of protecting her own industries, we do not see any great distance which she has yet to wake on the road to complete independcnce, The report of Mr. Tilley introducing and reâ€" commending the new concoction named a tariff contains a multitude of confessions that certify to Canada‘s pitiful condition. * * * It 1s a singular condition of affairs, following as it does so close upon the heels of what was represented as a plethora of mosey and a glut of prosperity. ‘The way out of this lamentable: situation, the people of the Dominiay are told * is through a protective tariff alne.

Mr, Cockbu:» (Muskoka) pointed out the depressing influences Which the tariff would have on the already depivsesa summeriog as duatry,and he supported his position by quotâ€" ing a number of valuable statistics relative to its importance. (Buffale Commercial Advertiser, ) We predict that our neighbore will be greatâ€" ly disappointed at the result of this experiâ€" ment, for the reason that Americans forwardâ€" ed enough stuÂ¥ betore the tarift was announcâ€" ed to supply the Canadian market for months, and another year the Macdonald Government will lose the farming element, which holds the balance of power, as their products canâ€" not possibly be benetited by the change. (Boston Advertiser, ) But to make one scale of duties for goods received from European countries, and a higher scale for goods from the United States, for the sake of punishing us for past offences of the kind mentioned, is childish and like such ountbreaks usually, will be found to have a double edge. Within three years the present tariff, if it survives this bold experiment, will be w odified in the interest of Canada herself so as to place the United States at least on an equality with other nations who trade with her.

The Times eannot approve Of the tariff, It thinks it unwise, and is thorougi,. ly convineed that it will disappoint tae Canadians, proving an injury instead of a benefit to thom. ‘The econduct of the Canadian Government is like that of a man who, unable to do all the work he wishes with both hands and legs free, ‘thinks heâ€"can increase the fruits of his labors by fastening up one leg alld tying one hand Lehind his back. But when this is all said, what then ?° We may send Lord Lorno lesture after lecture to be read to his advisers, but wa shall do no more, We cannot reced from the freedom of ac. tion we have conceded to our Canadian fellowâ€"subjects ; but we are not debarred fellowâ€"subjects ; but we are not debarred from the liborty of criticism on their polioy . The tariff is as unwise as possible. Tho ndmission that the Government has ful. filled its pledgo is the amplest condemnaâ€" tion of the trriff. There is no branch of industry that will not be erippled by it. The agriculturists will get a less roturn for the commodities they â€"produce, and will have no recompense for the loss of trade with the United States. The dutics on teas and sugars will imnvolve an enormon« cest in collection, and in the necessity of smuggling along so extonsive a frontier.
