will ever again be raised to the ante-con- federation standard. Under the National Policy tariff the staple artictes of import— melasses, the coarser sugars etc. ,—all those goeds for the supply of which we are de- pendent upon foreign countries— are admit- ted upon easier terms as regards duty then they were under the old tariff. And ex- perience, has proved that the duties impesed upon coal, flour, cornmeal! and other necessaries of life, which are produced both in Canada and in foreign countries, have no effect whatever upon the prites. With the burden of the Pacific Railway removed, there will be ne necessity for any increase of the tariff, aud with new factorics, and refineries springing up all over the Dominion, active competition sured, and prices are more likely than to rise.

But while, on financial score, there is no ood for discontent with Canada, which our unpatrictic contem- porayies are striving to eugender, several good grounds of discontent lave been removed by the Union. First, there is the removal of the leasehold tenure. Clearly we owe thatto Confederation. Had the passage of the ‘‘Land Purchase Act’’ been dependent upon Downing Street, and had we not had $-00,000 placed at our coni- mand by the Vominion Gevernment, our farmers wouki almost certainly be still largely subject to absentee landlords. Then there is tie stricter and juster admin- istration of tie Custem House, the vast improvement made in our postal service, with many o*her substantial advantages

We are aware that it is usually net hard to make people discentented; and the editors of tne J/erald and Putriot doubtiess thought they would have ‘‘an easy time cf it.” They will, however, find it somewhat difficult to overceine the logic »f the facts we have adduced. Let them show good and true grounds for discontent, with the same definiteness that we have shown the material advantages obtained by the Island

through the unien, and we shali oppose no further obstacle to their unenviable task,
