DOMINION PARLIAMEN',

(From our Special Parliamentary Corres- pondent. ) Orrawa, March 2. DEBATE ON THE BUDGET.

The debate on the Budget was resumed yesterday afternoon. Mr, Wallace and Mr. Vliver (not of Neebing Hotel notoriety) ad- dressed the House. Both gentlemen devoted much attention to the Trade Question. The former may be classed as a Free Trade Protec- tionist, the latter as a Protectionist Faee Trader. Neither of them understood the first principles by which trade is governed ; and their efforts to elucidate the question were as awkward, as they were vigorous, as ridiculous as they were earnest, and as effectual as the efforts of a man who has never learned the multiplication table to solve a difficult problem in arithmetic, These men represent a very large proportion of both sides of the Ho se. They are good men in their way. They sincerely desire to do right. They are clear when they under- stand. But they fave never learned the abc of political economy ; and when they talk about the difficult question with which the people of Canada are called upon by the Do- minion Government to grapple at the next el- ection, they appear to the same advantage as the Dutchman who tried to read an English newspaper before he learned the English Al- phabet.

Of a very different, though iufinitely smal- ler class of men was the next speaker—Mr John gMacdonald, of East Toronto. Your readers will remember Mr. McDonald as the supporter of the Government, whose sense of justice is so farsuperior to his party preju- dices, that he could admit that Sir John Me- Donald had been guilty of no wrong in the mat- ter of the ‘‘Northern Railway” oii in the mat- ter of the Secret Service money; and whose manhood is so far superior to that of his political leaders, that he dared, in their despite, to stand up in Parliament and main- tain Sir John MeDonald’s innocence. Such a man usually understands what he talks about ; and it is not surprising that, from a Free Trade standpoint, he made the best speech that has been delivered this session. He showed, from the Trade and Navigation Re- turns, that during the four years from 1870 to 1874 the merchants of the Dominion had im- ported goods to the value of $91,508,000 more than they could sell—more than the people could pay for. To this fact he attributed all the wuhealthy competition, the «anghtering | commercial depression and disaster. This debt. still weighs upon the country. All classes--every man, woman and child in the community—are, through the blind rage of business men te be suddenly rich—burdened with a debt, the interest of which, amounting in the aggregate to $14,354,000, has yearly to be paid. The banks are also blameable. Their large discounts have much to do with the depression. The English merchants are also blameable for selling on long credit. _ But, in McDonald’s. opinion, the United States’ merchants are not blameable because they col- lected promptly, and closed their accounts with a }-defaulters. To the question, would Protection have saved the country? he an- ewered ‘‘No.” If Protection had been inaugu- rated, the only difference would have been that the loss—part of which has fallen upoii the English merchants—-would all have fallen upon Canadians. When the seventeen anda half per cent. duties were levied, with the freight, insurance and other costs added, the Canadian manufacturer has now an advantage over the importer of thirty per cent. of the value of his goods; and if that was not sufficient he did not deserve to continue in business. With prudencé, energy and self reliance, there is not the slightest doubt, Mr. McDonald thinks, that Canadian manufacturers may prosper under existing conditions, He wou!d not, however,

retend to deny that a beneficial change might be made in the present tariff. The lessons of the “Crisis” are, Mr. McDonald thinks, that a large volume of business does not prove that the country is prosperous ; and that we want character among our merchants. Mr. McDon- ald eloquently pointed out that it was Eng- land’s great commercial and manufacturing men who made England a great commercial and manufacturing wountry. With respect to the deficit, Mr. McDonald would have been glad had it been greater, for that would have shown that our importers are bracing them selves up manfully to meet the consequences of their previous folly. He questioned very much whether the hopes of the Financial Min- ster that this deficit would be covered by the surplus of the current year, would be realized.

Mr. Haggart followed. He touehed several very weak points in Mr. Cartwright’s two- faced shield. He avowed himself a Protec- tionist who did not wish to see the tariff raised above its present average. He main- tained that it made no difference to the people at large whether the revenue was raised by a duty of two per cent, on some articles and twenty-five per cent. on others, or by mo gh of seventeen and a half per cent. all round. but to the manufacturers who are depressed, and to those immediately dependent upon them who are starving—it made a very material difference. He would not favor the slightest additional burden upon the people.

THE GODERICH HARBOR JOB.

Dr. Tupper’s ‘disturbing speech” upon this and other **jobs” has raised the angry passions of the Premier. He is very cross; and another scene is anticipated when the debate is re- newed.,

POLITICAL NOTES.

Sir John returned from Toronto yesterday and Dr. Tupper went thither to-day. There is much speculation as to ‘‘what’s in the wind now.”

Mr. Bourassa’s bill to amend the Insolvent Act of 1875, proposes to discriminate between traders and non-traders, creditors of an estate in the winding up of’the affairs of such insol- vent estate, ‘It provides that after due notili-

shall not be bound to accept a composition or sign the discharge of any insolvent trader. Nevertheless, such non-trader having ranked upon the estate for the amount of dividend de- clared shall be empowered™to recover the bal- ance so due him, as if no proceedings in insolv

ency had been entered into. oo ~

Our Washington Letter.

Wassuixoton, D. C., Feb. 26, 1878.

Among the receptions given by Senators families here this winter, perhaps noné are more largely attended than Mrs. Senator Blaine’s. This is due partly to the fame of the Maine Statesman and partly to the fact that Miss Abagail Hamilton Dodge (Gail Hamilton) is a member of his family thisseason. Various opinions are entertained towards and concern- ing this well-known writer. She is apparently just as well received in society as if the pen lashings she has been giving the country’s highest officials for the past year had not been administered nor received. She meets and talks with the very men she has abused most roundly through the press, with a genial pleasantry and composure that is astenishing. At first sight her personal appearance is very unprepossessing; eyebrows lowering over twist- ed eyes (not quite crossed but aki to that), and projecting mouth full of uneven teeth, which have to show continualiy, for the whole face talks when the lips speak. She is affable, though, and jolly, but.never stale or uninter esting. It is often said that she is not as pleasant with ladies as with gentlemen, and that she much prefers the society of the stern er sex; but at Mrs. Blaine’s last reception she was constantly surrounded by ladies with whom she laughed and chatted most agreeably, although some gentlemen were present. She was becomingly dressed in lightest and darkest brown silk, fitted close to her very trim figure, and cut with pampadour neck, filled with white blond lace and edged with valencienes. She wore no jewelry save a jet cross set with porns suspended by a narrow black velvet rib yon. Her hair, which is light brown, was quite elaborately dressed—puffed, frizzed and curled. Mr. Blaine’s house is his own, ar- ranged according to his individual taste, and is right pleasant though by no means perfect in its appointments. Turkish rugs and car- pets cover the floors, and the walls are almost hidden by pictures, among which are many Japanese productions. In one parlor is a life- size bust of Senator Blaine, which is a most perens likeness. It could never be mistaken, ‘he door-ways, as well as the windows, are heavily draped with dark, figured damask, which gives the whole place a gloomy atmos- phere that requires all the personal wit and Penns? possible, to enliven, suppose the time will never come when office-seeking will be unknown here. Govern- ment clerkships are the goal aimed at as the highest ambition of many a young man and young woman. tf they could but obtain a po- sition, they think they would be well satisfied. They get it and they ave satisfied, and that is just the misery of it, and that is why I feel that too much cannot be said against such po sitions. The cecupants settle down into the narrow ruts that these clerkships lead to, and lose all ambition for any higher life. It isa life of monotony, a life that transforms people into nonenties. Their work is almost entirely routinous and mechanical, ane tends to nothing that is ennobling. This is what some aptly say of them: ‘*‘When they once take the sal- ary of a Government clerk, get comfortably seated in the splendid palace of the nation, breathe the intoxicating atmosphere of politics and public life, the chances are their lives will prove bitter failures ; and nothing but the rude hand of power, as it drives them out at last to taste want and loneliness, unfitted for any useful calling, will ever awaken them from their dreams until too late to recall the fact of a wasted life.” I give an instance cor roborative of the above, which is but one among scores and scores. Some years ago an ambitiousand enthusiastic young man left a decent and growing business in the country for a Government clerkship. He married a sweet young girl who was a school teacher in the same country village he came from. Hie family increased but his salary did not (govern. ment salaries rarely do), his wife grew sick and every energy was taxed to the utmost to meet life’s neccessities. Finally he lost his place (clerks almost always lose their places after a term of years) and the old story of want and wretchedness followed. To-day he

mops Government floors "and cleans Govern- °

ment spittoons, and is thankful for the chance to do it in these hard times—as he was for the first appointment he obtained.

Pastorial on Irish Education.

A pastorial from Cardinal Cullen and the Bishops of the Province of Dublin, read on Sunday last inall the Roman Catholic churches of the archbishopric, does not promise well for the settlement of the Irish education question which the Government has announced its in- tention to take in hand during the present session. The Prelates say that Ministers have not undertaken to redress the grievances in primary, intermediate, and University educa. tion, At the same time they express a hope that the Government will bring forward some substantial measure, capable of restoring in no small degree the rights they have been unjustly

deprived of, and of giving equality in educa-" tional matters with their non-Catholic fellow- ' subjects, which they complin has been system

atically refused. ry a> A cABue dispatch from Paris announces the

death of Godefroy Brossais St. Marc, Cardinal’

Archbishop of Rennes, France. He was born at Rennes in February, 1803. Cardinal St, Mare was distinguished through life by great prudence and astuteness, and though regarded

to keep on fair terms with the various govern. ments which have ruled France during the last thirty years. At the time of his first promo- tion to the Episcopacy Rennes was a simple Bishopric, but in a few years after it was raised to the dignity of an Archiepiscopal See, and its
