THE CONDITIONS OF TRADE.

Tus present conditions of our interna- tional trade are remarkable, On the part |

of the United States, a dixcriminating duty often per cent. has teen placed upon | goods imported in vessels which fly a|

foreign flag. This duty, if exacted, must greatly bamper the British and Canadian carrying trade. It ie held by some auth- orities that the British Atlantic steamers will not, so long as the Jaw remains unre- pealed, be able to carry goods of Conti- nental origin to any United States port. The discriminating duties will, if applied, affect Canadian shipping inthis way: a Canadian vessel carrying fish ur potatoes, ear, to the West Indies will not be ina position to bring back a cargo for Boston or New York.

On the other hand, the trade conditions made by the present Parliament and Gov. ernment of Canada are altogether extraor- dinary. In the first place the Government came down and carried with a flourish of trumpets a measure which they declared apd maintained would afford a preference to British goods. But this contention was speedily upset by the Crown Law officers of Great Britain, and the Government of Canada is now, by order in Council, giving a like “preference” to upwards of twenty countries, including several of the great nations of the world,—Great Britain’a strongest competitors. At the same time the discrimination of 12} per cent. is put into operation against the products of our fellow British colonists. The people of Newfoundland, for instance, are compelled to pay the maximum duty upon their pre- ducts sent to Canada, while those of Germany, Russia, France, Belgium, Tur- key, etc., are enabled to enter their goods atareduction of 124 per cent. Then there is another Canadian condition, imposed by order in Council, which is, if possible, more remarkable than any of the others. Under it, goods purchased in Germany or any Other foreign country and brought isto Canada by way of New York, Boston or Portland are admitted at the Jower rate of duty. But if such goods are sent to Liverpool and shipped thence to Canada they are taxed at the higher rate!

These new and extraordinary conditions of trade are, it will readily be seen, alto- gether and decidedly unfavorable to both Great Britain and Canada. It is possible thai, in the “ better times ” that are to be, they may be overcome or their pressure somewhat mitigated. But this result will not be due in any degree tothe Govern-

ment of either the United States or Canada. ——— ee

—The Guardian this morning says that it “was regrettably misinformed in regard to the petition alleged tohave been laid against the sberiff of Kings County for his

official conduct in the late election. No snch petition has been filled”. If the

Guardian had taken the trouble to have gone to the clerk’s office, it would there have learned that a petition such as THE ExamiNeR announced on Tuesday had been duly presented againet the Sheriff of King’s County and it would have been un- pecessary for it this morning to retract a truthful statement made the day before. A petition is on file against Sheriff McDonald ayd Mr. Aitken.

Beg: are Leo’s latest werds On eduation: We entreat you, our beloved brethern to watch attentively to maintain your echools in the fullness of the Faith, or «ven if necessary, to restore the Faith and give all vour care as wel! to the schools found- ed by past generations as those established more receut'y, not only children’s schools properly speaking, but as well to those of

‘ ) ‘ 1} higher grades and academies. As to other

| Cathelics in your country they must, at the greatest cost, if necessary, see to it

thatin the education of the young the rights of parents, as well as those of the church, restored and upheld. Ia = such matters the principal rules to Observe are as follows: Iu the first instance, Catholics must not, especially for children, adopt mixed schools, but have achools of their own, aod they must select good and tried teachers. It is adangerous education that in which religion is altered or ignored.

We see that in so-called mixed schools, if these cases occur. Acd you must not yourselfto be persuaded that

education and piety can be separated with

impunity. If it be true that no portion of life, either private or public, can be exempt from reiigious duty, there is nu age where | this duty can bé less put aside than in | early youth, when the mind is ardent and | the heart is exposed to so many attractive causes of corruption. To organize edu- cation with a view of removing from it #]l points of contact with religion ig to c rrupt in the soul the very germs of the beautiful aod honesty; it 1s to prepare, not defenders of the fatherland, but a plague and a curse to humanity. What consideration—God beicg suppressed— could hold the young men to duty or to recall them if they had wandered from the straight peths of virtue and are going to- wards the depths of vice?

In the second place, not only must edu- cation be taught to children at certain hours, but the whole ofthe education must be surrounded by a halo of Christian piety. If this is not done, if this sacred aroma does not penetrate into and revive the minds of the teachers and pupils, educa- tion, DO matter what it may be, wil! bear but little fruit, but, on the contrary, wiil have the gravest inconvenience.

Nearly all science bears with it its own dangers, and young people cannot escape from them unless divine links guide their intelligence and their hearts. You therefore be careful, must careful, to see that the practice of justice and piety are essential and be not relegated to the sec- ond rank; that youth is impressed only by what it sees,and not weaken in it the mainsprings of virtue, that while the teacher's laboriou-ly impart to them the word for word of some tedious science, the youths de not conceive any doubt of the true wisdom, of which the beginning is the fear of ths Lord and to the precepts of which they must confirm all the moments of their lives. Let, therefore, the trans- mission of the many human sciences remain joined to the culture of the soul. Let all kinds of teaching no matter what it may be, be permeated and dominated by religion and that the latter, by its majesty and its kindness, leave in the hearts of the young beneficial incentives.

Moreover, since it has at all times been the intention of the Church that all kinds of studies serve principally for the relig- ious formation of youth, it is necessary not ouly that this branch of teaching be tle principal one, but that none may exerci e such responsible functions without having been declared fit by the judgment of the Church and coafirmed in that occupation by religious authority.

It is no unusual thing for the Minister of Marine to speak with confidence. Only three month3 ago he deciared not even a second class lawver wonld hold that the German treaties apnlied tothe tariff resolutions then before the hon-e. Sir Louia has since found that the Canadian lawyers whom he placed in the third class were of the same mind as the law officers of the British crown. He has not fonod even a Jawyer of the third class on either side of the water to support the abeurd arzument which be himself made in the honse of commons. Today he is as far astray in his facts as he was then in his law. There are adozenaid more foreign countries whose tariff is ‘ower thav the Canadian minimum. tariff.
