SPECIAL DESPATCHES TO THE EXAMINER.
THE BUDGET SPEECH,
Fielding Trims Hig Sails to the Protectionist Breeze.
_——
THE OLD PROTECTIVE TARIFF WITH A FEW CHANGES.
A Million Dollars Added to Taxation.
Oveivi: April 23.—Old free traders | were delighted with Hon. budget speech down to recess, For nearly | an honr after closing his fipancial state- ment Mr. Fielding denounced the National Policy and condemned the principle of protection. When he satdown he had prepared the House fora tariff sweepiog away every vestige of protection.
After recess, Mr. Fielding continued bis
‘depunciation of protection, arguing that |
the National Policy had created an artifi- cial condition injurious to manufacturers. He remarked that the Government had been importuned to bring their Liberal principles into operaton atonce. But no reasonable man expected the Govern-
ment to introduce Free Trade at one stroke. The Finance Minister pro- tested against tbe manufacturers’ claim of vested rights. They had
invested money, knowing that one party was opposed tc protection. They took their risk and should now expect to pay upand look pleasant. But while this would be siern justice, the Government had no disposition to treat the manufac-
turers in that spirit (cheers and laughter from Opposition.) We must consider the interests of labor, the interests of the country, and the interests of banking. No member of the Liberal party understood that protection to industries would be de- stroyed and it was not tne intention of the Government to destroy them. (Appiause.)
Mr. Fielding then, amid great opposition laughter, proceeded to explain how the conditions had changed since the Liberal
latform was adopted. At that time, the Liberal party had reason to believe the United States would adopt a taritf of reform, and obandou protection. This proved to be a mistaken view. There might well be grounds for hoping that the United States would agree to reciprocity. But under the present conditions it would pever do to reduce our tariff so that we would have nothing to offer them. (Trem- endous cheers from opposition bepches.) It was a good! policy to hoid our hands and not extend to that country concersions that we weuld otherwise be willing to give. (Cheers on the opposition side.)
Still we are bound to give tariff reform. (Laughter.)
The Dingley bill, eaid Mr. Fieldiog, was no reason why we should not frame our
policy in the interest of free trade with those countries which wart to trade with us. So we shail have one taritf for those countries which are disposed to trade with us, and another for those which are pot. We propose to have a general tariff, ‘and that tariff will be mach the tariff of today. (The Finance Minister was here inter- rupted by cheers and wild outburats of laughter from the Opposition side.) There would be some reforms? But the princi- ple would be the same. Mr. Fielding, then, amid the cheers of his supporters, declared that he proposed to establiao a preferential tariff with favored. countries, especially with Great Britain.
The duty on spirits bas been adyanced an additional 20 cents a proof gallon. The old duty was $1.71 to $1.73 per gallon.
On cigarettes the duty has been placed at $8 a thousand, regardless of weight. On cigarettes the duty hitherto imposed has been on less than three pounds a thousand, $1.50, and when more than three pounds, $6.
On foreign raw leaf tobacco,unstemmed, a duty of 10 cents a pound has been im- posed and on stemmed the duty is 14 esnts. This is a new duty.
The duty on vinegar has been fixed at 4 cents a proof gallon, and on ascetic acid, 4 cents a gallon,
From the tariff changes now to be made Mr. Fielding estimated the follow- ing effects: On revenue, he expects the revenue to lose $217,900 on iron; $275,000 on woolen goods; $66,000 on cottons; $147,000 on corr ;—total, about $700,000.

mates, are: from excise on spirits $509,008; from cigarettes $100,000; from customs duty on tobacco $170,000; and from exci-e duties on tobacco leaf, manufactured $1,000,000. The toral gain over the losses will, he thinks, be $1,000,000, which wil! wipe out the deticit. He proposes to com- pensate the iron manufactures by increas- ing the bounty on steel ingots, puddled bars and pig iron from $2 to $3.
The chief tariff features, on the general list, are flour, reduced from 75 cents to 60 cents; oil from 6 cents to 5 cents per gallon; soft coal is unchanged; cornmeal is reduced from 40 cents to 25 cents. There is a ;scnera! reduction in scrap, pig and bar iron,

LATEST FROM THE FRONT,
Varying Successes and Little Victories.

Both Fighting Hard and Hopefully.
ConsraxtinoeLe, April 3.—The Tur- kish Government denies thatthe Greeks have captured the Islands of Mityleve and Zio, off the west coast of Asia Minor.
Larissa, headquarters of the Greek army, April 23.— the latest advices as to the situation at Damasi shows that on Sunday the Turks made a sortie from the town and attacked the Greek ypositions at Bonghasi Pass, and Sideropoluki, After vevere fighting, the Greeks drove the Turks across the frontier with a loss of five guus.
The Turks have descended from Milout a Pass to Kurtriovali, yet known here.
Atuens, April 28.—The eastern equad- ron has bomtarded Katrina and destroyed the Custom house and other punlic buildings.
The western seqnajron has bombarded Maurto, north of Prevosa, and captured a Turkish steamer.
Aruens, April 23.—A despatch from Larissa says that the Greek artillery at Reveni were reinforced, and have reduced Vigla to silence. This will evatle the tr gades of Colonel Smo entz and Colonei Dimopoulas to unite in a movement toward Darnzi. A eevere struggle continues at Boughazi, where Colonel Dimopoulas is, and the Jatest news from Marti confirms

TELEGRAPHIC NOTES.
Arnexs, April 21.—The news of the capture of Damasi puts a new complexicn upon the situatio»nfon the frontier. Itiea great encouragement to the governu ent aod is likely to have the most exhilarating etfect upon the spirits of the Greeks, who had been greatly depressed by the reverses of their troops at Milouna Pass. This success and the fact that the fall of Prevosa seems imminent, virtually offsets the calamity at Milouaa. If the Greek divisions effect a union at Damasi, as is expected, there is almost nothing inthe way of their prompt advance to Massona. If they fall into the hands of Edhem Pasha, tie Turkish troops if they sweep down upon the place and advance to Larissa to meet the force concentrated there undiy the crown prince, will be between two grand divisions of the Greek army. This seems to have been the object of Greek strategy. Should the Greeks succeed in reducivg the forts at Prevo-a, as now seems. probable, and in occupying the town with the large land farce c - perating with the bombarding warships, the road to Yanina would be open and the Turkish troops in Epirius placed at a mos: serious disadvantage.
Should the Greek troops advance from Damasi to Elassona, the line of Turkish supplies could be out at that point ard render the naval movement unuecessary. And it is possible that te brilliant succes at Damas: will cause a mcdification in the sea programme of the Greeks.
Taking a general survey of the fisid this morning the fortunes of war, thus tar, are pretty evenly divided, but the chances for the immediaie future are decidedly in favor of the Greeks, Tue Greeks are aggre-sive,
New York, April 21.—The Sun’s cor- respondent telegraphs: During the past three days Ethem Pasha has demonstrated all the qualities of a great genera!, and those correspondents who has watched his masterful control of every feature of the situation, declared their belief that he will speedily march his army to Athens. There is no great commander on the Greek side. Two or three sad mistakes have alreadv been made by Greek officers. It it astonisbing that these errors have not damped the ardor of the Greek troops, but their conduct bas been magnificent on every occasion,
Oid war correspondents telegraph that they never saw such fighting. The men on either side seem to know not what fear is. Turkish fatalism and Greek fury Jed the opening ranks several times on Sunday and Monday to stand face to face with each other until both were mowed down by the merciles+mutual slaughter.
“One hill side in Milloura Pass. was literally covered with dead aad dying Greeks before possession was yielded to the Turks.
“The bloody war of Sunday and Monday in Thessaly was so terrible that one or two correspondents estimate the killed and wounded on both sides at 20,000. This is entirely beyond belief, considering the number of men engaged, but it indicates the character of the fighting.
It tends also to justify the opinion ex- pressed in last nigut’s despatches, that the war would be terrific but brief. This
