On the face of this return the average
quantity of goods admitted free of duty during these five years was about $39,500- 000, while the decline between the first year and the last was $20,000,000, or near- ly 40 per cent! If the figures were correct- ed by shipped and not really imported for con-
the elimination of goods trans-
sumption, it would be found that the goods admitted for consumption free of duty in
1874 were valned at $43,000,000 in r vand
figures, while in LR78 the value of such
roxds would be $22,000,000, or a frac-

VISIT OF THE MINISTERS.
We learn that Hon. George E. Foster and Hon. A. A. Angers will arrive here on Thursday next. The prime object of their visit is to obtain information concerning the interests of this Province in respect to the tariff But they have address a public meeting to be held in the Market Hall on the evening of Friday next, and to attend a political picnic at Tracadie Beach on Saturday. Our people will thus have an opportunity to hear twoof the best public speakers in Canada, one a Finance Minister, the
most successful
other distinguished as the man who rid |
Quebec of the Mercier conspiracy.
The ministers will meet delegations, and all persons having information to communi- cate respecting the working of the tariff in this Province, at the Legislative Library,
begianing at half past ten o’clock.

It guards the vast meannetis commerce of the British Empire, amounting all told to $6,000- 000,000 in value every year. Its ves- sela have cost over $300,000,000. It protects half the merchant tonnage of the world.

—It is pieasing to have the letter of “Justice,” even though the denial that
there was drinking “unprecedented” at the |
Belfast tea is accompanied by a gentle re- buke of Tae Examines for daring to pub- lish “Inquirer’s” letter. In respect to “Inquirer's” letter we came froma respectable source in the neighborhood, that it referred to a matter of public importance to the neighborhood, and that, as we read it, it contained no re- flection or implication of any kind upon
the ladies of Belfast. Our last correspond- |
ent is really more severe upou the ladies of Belfast than the first, for he assumes that they were referred to as having “ swayed to and
fro.” ete., under the influence of ale and |
whiskey. A dozen women might easily
have been}drunk at the tea, and not one of | them a resident of Belfast,—certainly not |
one of them could possibly be a lady. What we are concerned to know is that the law of the land is upheld in Belfast and elsewhere in this Province, and we
| have great pleasure in giving publicity to | | the assurance of a correspondent whose
veracity is undoubted, that the “damag-
ing reporte” to which “Inquirer” refers
are “absolute falsehoods.”

If “Inquirer” saw any lady “sway to and fro” it must have been because his optical | organs were incapable of @ proper con- | ception of the perpendicular, a condition probably brought abovt by a too liberal | helping of something stronger than wa- retailed by the saloons.
