calls free trade, but that ‘the prospects of the British farmer wane yearly,’ and that landlords are advertising for tenants, with thousands of acres of land going begging. But he appears to forget that most a our great authorities have frequently and distinctly stated that every great interest in England is in the same lamentable condition. ‘This fearful position he conceives to result from the introduction of ‘rails, steam and telegraphs.’ These extra- ordinary and distressing revelations oblige me to say that lam old enough to recollect the general prosperity of this country before rail- ways and steam had injured the nation, and before what Mr. Sidney Smith calls free trade had ruined the farmers; let me request Mr. Smith in hss future letters to correct the mis- nomer, and call the modern com

mercial policy free importations, and not free trade. If we had made_ reciprocal treaties, and taken the production of other countries in exchange for our own, our rail and steam ships would have been the makers and protectors of our hardworking people. ‘Twenty years ago I had the honour ot being vice presi- “dent of the National Association tor the Pro- tection of Native Industry, and the folly of free importations was placed before the indus-

trial classes by numerous meetings in every Ai [pert of England; but Mr. Cobden’s big loaf, Apvices from Ottawa state that the Gov-) that our workmen have no longer the money

ernment has been in communication with |

Mr. Tilley. It is said that Dr. Tupper, on being interviewed, declined to make parti- culars public, but stated that when negotia- tions were completed it would be found that Mr. Tilley had secured a most favor- able loan. The balance of the $3,000,000 will be obtained on terms quite as favor- able as the £1,619,000 already «lisposed of at £96 13s. 6d. The loan was not taken very readily. This is in part owing to the distracted state of the money market and in part to the muddling of Mr. Cartwright. The deficits which characterized his official career and his dishonesty in the matter of the two-faced shield have, to a certain ex- tent, been the means of undermining Can- adian credit in England. The Halifax

Herald remarks :-—

“In the first place, the time was unfavor- able, from an [inglish stand point. Aside from the local causes, spoken of in our des- patch, which operated particularly against the loan at the present time, there has never been a time for the past five years, when money was more in demand, and commanded higher prices than within the last few months. his was known before Mr. Tilley left Canada, and led to a good many expressions of doubt as to his success. A good many men, with con- siderable financial experience, were of opinion that at least ahigher rate of interest would require to be paid, than we had of late years been offering. The circumstances were, how- ever, pressing. A heavy amount in Canadian bonds was maturing in January next, and the credit of the country required that the money should be raised to meet them. Mr. Tilley was accordingly forced into the market at a time when that market was certainly most un- propitious. In addition to this, Mr. Tilley was compelled to present to the English money lenders a shield that had no silver side to it. For the past five years the history of Canadian revenue and expenditure has been anything but reassuring. Deficit after deficit, without any curtailment in the extravagance of the Government, was all that Mr. ‘Tilley could show as the character of the Borrowing Coun- try. In spite of these very great obstacles, however, he has succeeded in placing one of the largest loans we ever seid for, upon the London market atthe lowest rate of interest ever offered by us, and upon terms equal to the most sanguine expectations.

**Our morning contemporary yesterday spoke of the difference between this loan, and and the loan negotiated by Mr. Cartwright in 1875. It must be remembered, however, that at that time money was a drug in the London market. Mr. Cartwright was able too, to show such a record as no borrowing country couli surpass. Upto that time Canada had been well geverned, and we had surpluses to show for every year, and the most careful management of our national finances. Unfor- tunately, however, Mr. Cartwright and his friends placed it beyond the power of his suc- cessor to urge such well grounded claims to commercial confidence. Five years of very bad government, with $3,500,000 increased taxation, and deficits aggregating some $5,- 000,000, was avery different picture for the English capitalists to look at, from seven years of good government, with $2,000,000 of taxes remitted, and surpluses aggregating over $10,- 000,000. ;

If, as reported, Mr. Tilley has, notwith- standing all this, succeeded in selling Cana- dian bonds to the amount of three million

pounds sterling, at 96 58 he has done well.

Trade Relations.

Free Trape between the different col

ito pay for, swamped all reflection; and Mr, Smith points out that native industry 1s now ‘supplanted by foreign labour, and that our ships and rails have increased the facilities of importation, and that our exports are con- stantly diminishing and our imports increa- sing. For many years after we gave Up our > national patent right and our patriotism, the enormous capital accumulated in this country under the influence of Conservative and patrictic laws, ‘all went merrily as a marriage bell,” and ovr idle annuitants, with fixed incomes, gloried in cheap prices. The enormous stimulus given to foreign productions, by opening the richest market in the world to their comparatively untaxed produce, has now glutted the world with goods, lower wages has been the constant cry. Strike has followed strike, and it will be well if the injured operatives do not at last strike in earnest. Land is Jneglected, houses remain unlet, mills are closed, iron and coal unworked, and our old ships are found idle in every port in Europe. And if it had not been for the resolution, courage, and national feel- ing of our great statesmen, we should have been degraded as well as pauperised before the nations of Europe. Mr. Disraeli saw and opposed the suicidal policy of free im- portations, and Lord Bevconstield saw and exposed the policy of Russia, and it will be for Mr. Sidney Smith to enlighten our political economists, and save us from further Liberal folly. The capital accountof our great rail- ways tepresents upwards of £40,000 per mile ; dividends are falling off, land is thrown to grass, and agricultural labor reduced; rents are diminished and taxes increased, and yet we havea party that glory ina policy that has caused the ruin of elie and, if not wholly rejected, will utterly ruin the country. We are met by hostile tariffs and absolute ex- clusion for our products, and the only con- solation to thinking men is, our Brights, and Lowes and Gladstones have already dropped out of political existence. Having taken the liberty of doubting the merits of free im- portation, I shall be glad, with many others, to hear what Mr. Smith proposes for amelior- ating our miserable position. I propose for his consideration strict and just reciprocal treaties. “Tam, sir, your obedient servant, “F, Caytey Worsiry.”

A “ Real Grievance.”

_ Tue Patriot has woke up to the fact that our Provincial Railroad is badly managed. He hasdiscovered the capacity of Mr. William McKechnie, even in the small matter of preparing a Time Table. We directed at- tention to this bungling a few days after the ‘“‘ Winter Arrangement” was publish- ed; but the superintendent will have his own way, regardless of the consequences to the public. The Patriot thinks “‘ that the inconvenience need only be pointed out to Mr. McKechnie to be remedied.” We shall Bee.

Low Necked Dresses.

Tit Monetary Times concludes an article on Col. Littleton’s order concerning low- necked dresses, as follows : —

‘‘This fol-der-rol and tomfoolery may as well stop at once, when the sum of the mis- chief it has done can nearly be measured in the smile it has called up on the lips of sen- sible people. The habits, the customs and the manner of our people are, we trust, neither boorish or rude; but such as they are, they are their own, and are quite com- patible with the allegiance Canada owes and is willing to pay; any attempt, suddenly and violently made, to change them must fail, and for such an attempt, folly would

pire, and with the Mother Country, isa policy which finds an ardent advocate in the Peterboro’ Review. For example, it says: ‘‘ Canadian wheat, cattle and lumber might be admitted into Britain free, while duties were imposed on the American pro- ducts and those coming from other coun- tries. Reciprocity in natural products might also take place between the Dominion and the West Indies.” Such a policy, the Review holds, would be real Free Trade, and an improvement on the present jig- handled one from which every part of the Empire is more or less suffering.

On the other hand, the public mind of the Mother Country is deeply moved by the distress which prevails and the evident impossibility of making headway against the hostile tariffs of other nations. From among many contributions to the English Press upon the subject, we select the fol- lowing by Mr. F. Cayley Worsley, Vice- President of the National Association. In a letter to the London Standard he says :—

including furniture, etc., of Mr. John Biggar, of Springfield, Lot 67, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday night. ‘The fire was only discovered in time for the family to escape, and some of them were obliged to get out of the windows. The cause, as yet, has not been ascertained fully, but it is supposed to have originated in one of the flues. At this season of the year the loss is a very serious one to Mr. Bigger, more especially as the house was a large one and well finished.

The mill site known as the Haslam mill

American company for manufucturing pur- poses. It is one of the best streams on the Island, and well located ; it will no doubt be turned to good account to the neighbo-r hood of County Line. The farmers in that place and surrounding country have under- taken to give two hundred days’ work to- wards the erection of the dam and other buildings, gratis; and also to pay the yearly taxes for ten years. And why shouldn’t they, as they will even then gain largely— with a starch or sugar factory in owr midst.

The Wealth of England.

Some idea of the wealth and lending power of England, as well as of her ability to sustain heavy losses, may be gas}ieved from the following statistics : Since 1828 no less a sum than $3,070,000,000, or $61,- 400,000 a year, has been raised in London for foreign States. Of this, $785,000,000, or 26 per ceut., is in entire default. The bankrupt States are Turkey, Peru, Mexico, Venezuela, Honduras, Costa Rica, Para- guay, the Confederate States, Uruguey, Greece, Bolivia, Ecuador, San Domingo, Guatemala, Poyais and Liberia. The loans in partial default amount to $875 ,000,000, or shirty per cent. Spain owes $545 ,008,- 000, and the chances of her paying are con- sidered about on a par with Turkey. Cal- culating that the Khedive of Egypt will keep his engagements, there are thus loans in entire or partial default amounting to $1, 660,000,000, or fifty-five per cent. of the whole.

The Eastern Trouble.

M. Vambery, the distinguished traveller, ina communication to a German journal, expresses his cenvinction that Shere Ali having entered upon the mad enterprise of a war with Great Britain, will soon see his country overrun by Turcomans. These warlike horsemen frequently commit raids in Persia, and even threaten the integrity of that kingdom. According to M. Vam- bery, they will effectually prevent an ad. vance of the Russians to Merv, which the northern powers seeks to secure for strate- getic and political purposes. The advance of the Russians to Khiva is treated as a promenade among comparatively peaceful tribes; and this high authority, who has travelled extensively in the region of which he speaks, shows that the conquest of 100,- 000 Turcoman and Tekke cavalry must be accomplished by the Czar’s troops before they can advance further in the direction of India. When England has secured com- mand of the passes through Afghanistan our Indian Empire will be impregnable.

The Next Royal Marriage.

The marriage of His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught with Princess Louise of Prussia is to be solemnized at St. George’s Chapel, Windsor, on the 7th of February. The ceremony will be performed with much state and with great festivities. The Queen will take a prominent part in all the festi- vities. The royal bride is to be attended to the altar by eight bridesmaids, the daughters of two English, of two Irish mar- quises and of four earls—two being Scotch and two English. The Dukes are Bedford and Marlborough, the Marquises Hes dfort and Conyngham, the Earls Errol and Elgin, Bradford and Mount Edgecombe. ‘The household of the future Duchess of Con- naught, as was the case with that of the Duchess of Edinburgh, is to be composed exclusively of English ladies. It is report- ed that the Prime Minister intends, at the first opportunity, to arrange for the Duke of Connaught and his bride to reside a great part of the year in Ireland.

The Duke ef Connaught is about to visit Berlin for the last time previous to his mar- riage. His Royal Highness will reside at the Royal Palace, where the Princess Fred- erick Charles and her daughter are at pres- ent staying. During the Duke of Con- naught’s stay in Berlin the final arrange- ments respecting the marriage will be made. Angeli, the Viennese painter, is now en- gaged upon a portrait of the Princess Louise Margaretha, at Potsdam. A speech is re- ported of Pismarck apropos of this picture, “They contentedly resign the real—they covet the ideal.” —N, Y. World. ‘

There is no medicine prescribed by physi cians, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of its success and superior virtues as BoscHEE’S GERMAN Syrup for severe Coughs, Colds settled on the breast, Consumption, or any disease of the Throat and Lungs. A proof of that fact is that any person afflicted, can get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents and _ try its superior effect before buying the regular size at 75 cents.
