OUR NEW STUDIO,

we would inform them that we have now increas: d facilities for the production of drst-class work, and are prepared to make PHoToGraPHs of @ Style and Quatily that has never been before altempled in this City.

We have on exhibition, at our Rooms, a large number of Photograps of every variety, including the

BEAUTIFUL PHOTO- ENAMEL

he most beautiful style of Photograph known, possessing a sofiness and delicacy of coloring that has never been equalled. Chis elegant picture has become deservedly popu ar elsewhere, and cannot fail to be- ccrme so here.

Though the finish of our Photographs canuot be excelled, we would direct alter- tion to the beautiful

Glace Pictures

which we make. They possess a highly enamelled surface, and are practically indes- tructible, und will retain their freshness ind beauty for any length of time. If they necome soiled they can easily be cleaned, is they will not lose any of their beauty by being wet, ‘This valuable quality, com- bined with their remarkable elegance, make them very saitable for presents; while the difficulty of their production will prevent them ever becoming so common as to lessen their value. Our patrons can have one or all of their Photos finished In this style—an advantage which cannot be obtained elsewhere.

We give special attention to muking Groups of Fam lies, Societies, Schools, &c

Our pictures of children are sufticient evidence of our success in this difficult branch of our art.

Our tNLARGEMENTS, finished in India Ink, Pastel, Crayon, Oil and Water Colors, have made a tavorable reputation for them selves throughout the Lower Provinces.

Parties intending to have Photographs made will find it to their advantage to sit early, 48 the number of our cu ‘tomers makes some delay in the delivery of the Photos unavoidable. We prefer to have our sitters come by appointment,

Photographs can be obtained for less money elsewhere ; but in this case we ask that quality be given the preference; as- suring tne public that they will flad our eharges very moderate.

THE TRADE ISSUPF.

Some great writer-—-Hallam | think—has suid that it always seemed to him as if History was like a child’s box of letters with which we can spell any word we pleased; and from which we have only to pick out such letters as we want, arrange them as we like, and say nothing about those which do not snit our pur- pose. It seems that Party representatives and Party editors, in many cases, treat facts and opinions regardiug political questions in this wey. When mmor matters only are involved, such action, though not right, may perhaps be jut when a great issue is involved, a more satisfactory as well as more honest course to pursue, is to present the facts and allow the electors—the judges of the issue - to draw their own conclusions. 1 shall endeavor, in laying before your intelligent readers the opinions of our public men at Ottawa respect- ing the question of the tariff, to follow this course as closely as possible.

And fiast, as regards the opinions of Sir John McDonald. ‘These are expressed in the speech he delivered when submitting the following resolution —

‘*That this House is of opinion that the welfare of Canada requires the adoption of the National policy which, by a judicious re- adjustment ef the tariff, will foster the Do- minion; that such a policy will retain in Canada those of our fellow countrymen who are now obliged to expatriate themselves in search of employment which is denied at home, and will restore prosperity to our struggling industries, now so sadly depressed ; will en- courage an active inter-provincial trade that its motive as such, ought to be in the direction of a reciprocity of tarifis with our neighbors, so far as the varied interests of Canada are con- cerned ; and will greatly tend to procure for this country eventually a reciprocity of trade.”

He says—I quote his words as reported in the Maii:—‘*Lhe resolution speaks not only of a reasonable read,ustment of the tariff, but of the encouragement and development of inter- provincial trade. ‘That is one of the great ob- jects we should seek to attain. Formerly we were a number of Provinees which had very little trade with each other, and very little connection, except a common allegiance to a common sovereign, and it is-of the greatest importance that we should be allied together. I believe that by a fair read,ustment of the tarif we can increase the various industries which we can interchange one with another, and make this union a union in interest, a union in trade, anda union in feeling. Then shall grow up rapidly a_ good, steady and mature trade between the Provinces, render- ing us independent of foreign trade, and not, as New Brunswick and Nova Scotia formerly did, look to the United States, or to England, for trade, but look to Ontario and Quebec, sending their produets west, and receiving the products of Quebec and Ontario in exchange. Thus, the great policy, the national policy, which we on this side are advocating, would be attained. Hon. gentlemen opposite laughed very much when they heard tuat part of the resolution relating to reciprocity of tariffs and reciprocity of trade, but, 1 will tell them, that if there is one thing more than another in the minds of the people at the present time, it is this very subject. There 1s no mistake about it, for during the summer I had the opportu- nity of visiting all parts of the country, and

‘| have met many who profess themselves to be

Reformers, Grits, or Liberals, upon whose minds the idea has been impressed. It has taken fast hold of the people of Ontario. Hon. gentlemen may depend upon it that the coun- try will have it. The country will not have the present unjust policy. The country will have fair play, and will not allow our mar- kets to be made use of by the manu- facturerere of a neighboring country, when they can find no better market else- where, and at the same time have no ac- cess to their market. What was the conse- quence of this jug handel policy? Theslaugh- ter was being made, and goods were being dis- posed of ata ruinous price. Our manufacturers are brought down, and next year when the United States manufacturers might find a bet- ter market, there would be no manufacturers of our own tosupply the gap, and then up go the prices. In one yeara man purchases at slaughter prices, and the next year, wheh he is obliged to buy in his own market, having no foreign goods coming in, he will have the prices putup on him, and will find that in the long run he will lose, hecause then all our manufactories will be swept away. I find that the farmers of West Canada and East Canada could not understand there was anything in their barley, for instance, being obliged to pay a duty of 15 per cent. upon going into the United States. Whereas the produce of the Amerlcan farmers was allowed to be brought into this country free. It is said the consu- mer pays the duty—(hear, hear, from the Min- isterial side)—and that the farmer does not suffer anything. Thatis the statement, but

‘shen [ put a simple case, which [ have done

.cequently, I ean getnoanswer. [ puta case in the Eastern townships of a man upon the imaginary line, which was hetween this country and the United States, Suppose a man has 100 acres on the Canadian side of the line, and 100 acres of land on the American sideof the line, Suppose he grows 1,000 bushels of barley on each of his farms. He takes his 1,000 American bushels to the Ameri can market, and gets one dollar a bushel tor it. He takes his 1,000 bushels of Canadian barley to the American market and gets but 85 cents per bushel, because he has to pay 15 per cent, duty for taking it across the imaginary line. How could it, in this case, be said that

the consumer pays the duty? It comes out of*

the pocket of the Canadian farmers. They were told that it would be a t injustice to put 2 duty upon Indian corn, se We grow

NO, 258

| very little Indian corn, and we might as well leave our markets opeu. The Indian corn is brought for the most part inte this country for distillation into whiskey. I do not know what my hon. friend for West Middlesex will say, but I say that if we areto have rye in any form, it should come frem our own corn. | will give you another illustration of the im. policy of the present system, by which we al- low the agricultural prodncts of other countries to be brought into this country free, while there is a cluty placed upon our products going into the States, Take the case of a miller. It is at the present moment actually to the in- terest of the miller to build his mill in the United States. If the mil'er builds his mill, say at Windsor, he can not send his flour into the States, but if he establishes his mill across the river, at Detroit, he has the whole market of forty millions of people and he can supply Canada ss well. Our people understand that ; they say they do not believe in it. They believe that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, and that you cannot have a reciprocity in trade without a recipro- city m taritl. There is no wrong in a recipro- city of tariff, if itis to our interest, but Iam confident that one great object in having some- thing like a retaliatory policy will be that if you are to have reciprocity in trade you will only get it in that way. Yon have tried the policy~ of conciliation and humiliation long enough. The same policy is being carried out as before, and it is found to be of no good. We can get nothing by trying to induce them to alter their plans. They have laid downa rule, and it will be carried out. They will not have anything like reciprocity of trade with us, unless we show them that it will be to their advantage. Why should they give us reciprocity when they have our markets open to them now? They can send to our markets everything they produce agriculturally, at nominal prices, free of duty, and then manu- facture at such a reduced rate as to make our system practically no protection whatever. As long as that exists, we cannot expect to have anything approaching reciprocity of trade, or ir.aty. It is only by closing our doors, and by cutting them out of our markets, that they will open theirs to us. (Cheers.) If they would take the same steps as Eugland had done with France, and say, we will lower the duties on your winesif you will lower the duties on our cotton goods, for instance, some- thing might be done. But it is only by clos ing thexloor that wecan get anything. All the Browns im Canada sent to Washington will be of no avail unless we have something to give in return, The Americans have a very just idea of the value of our trade, and they are looking forward to get the trade of that magnificent North West of ours, which will be peopled by millions at no distant date. They believed they could get control of that trade, but if they were now told “vou cannot come in unless you give us reciprocity,” that would be found with them a powerful argu- ment. If you say, ‘“‘we will cripple your trade, and shut you out, but at the same time we will give you every opportunity of fairly entering into a reciprocity of trade with us, af not we will keep our markets to ourselves,” it would have a great effect.”

This quotation contains, I think, the gist of Sir John’s opinions. He said that in carry- ing them out it would not be necessary to in- crease the present volume of taxation. A judicious re-adjustment is, he says, all that is required.

FUBLIC ACCOUNTS.

At this day’s meeting of the Public Accounts Committee it was demonstrated that Cart- wright’s statement respecting the rate of in- terest on the public debt is very misleadi He deliberately took more credit to himself than was his due.

it was also shown that the account for stor- ing those precious steel rails was placed under the heading of and included in ‘*Pacific Rail way Surveys,” with the evident intention of deceiving the public as to their cost. W.L.C.

The Redemptorist Fathers inaugerated a mission in Montreal, on the 9th, in Notre Dame Church. Over 10,000 people attended each service.

The colony of New South Wales is sufferi severely from a prolenged drought. The an- nual crop of wool is inferior in quality and de- ficient in quantity and a very large portion goes to England in the grease trom the want of butter to keep it. The loss of caprtal by di- minished income caused by this drought is be- ginning to be felt severely in mercantile circles, ete i ee

Navigation is already open on the Hudson river, another indication of the remarkable mildness, of the season. It is said that the ice men there have secured about two thirds of am average crop. A _ leading steamboat owner says that with a state appropriation for two powerful ice boats, it would be an easy matter to keep the navigation open every winter; but. the railway interest is too powertul at Albany to permit this to be done.

ameenerne An Insang Man’s Fatr.—A young mam named Andre Ouillet had been working at Edwards & Co’s shanty, above the Six Port- ages on the (tatineau River. He became par- tially deranged, and waa sent home in charge of his brother. They stayed over night at the Six Portgages, but on the following morning, Feb. 7th, he was missing, while an open win- dow showed the way he got out of the house. He was tracked from the window to an open place in the river, where all further traces ceased, leaving no doubt as iv the fate of the poor fellow.
