“The policy of the Government is deter- |

In other words, the policy of the Gov- ernment is to slander their opponents and do nothing for the good of the country.

THE OPPOSITION PLATFORM.

A RE-ADJUSTMENT OF THE TARIFF.

To make the duties fall more equitably.

To make it the interest of the United States to accord Reciprocity.

To revive the languishing West India Trade.

To remove the present barriers to the de- velopment of our Agricultural, Mining and other Natural resources ; and gen- erally

To encourage Home Industries with Home Markets for Home Produce.

To promote our Fishing interests and pro- tect the rights of our Fishermen.

McDONALD STANDS. ‘* NeITHER AT LONDON OR RLSEWHERE

HAVE I GOME BEYOND MY MOTION IN Par-

LIAMENT, AND HAVE NEVER PROPOSED AN INCREASE, EUT ONLY A RE-ADJUSTMENT OF TARIFE.

‘* Jonn A. McDonatp.”

‘* We can well understand that we may raise the duty on woollen, cotton and other goods, but lower the duty on articles of general consumption which we cannot pro- duce, and the volume of taxation may be LESS IN FACT, although it may be raised, at any given time, higher than it was before. If a man were obliged to pay a cent more for his cotton, and had a cent taken off his tea, it would be found, by calculation, that he was a gainer by the operation.” —Sir John in Parliament.

MR. TILLEY’S PLANK.

Mr. Tittex then took up the public ex- penditure, showing that an average expen- diture of $22,500,009 was ail that was necessary, and the expenditure ought ‘to have been kept within that, instead of an average, as it has been, of $24,000,000. The policy of the Opposition was No? IN- CREASED TAXATION, as it had been stated by their opponents, but a readjustment of the tariff and REDUCED EXPENDI- TURES. These were the planks in their platform, together with encouragement to our manufacturing industries; ship’s ma- terials, raw materials, machinery not made in the country, free; 15 PER CENT. on non-enumerated articles; and an increase of the tariff on such articles as we can pro- duce in the country, giving employment to our people and a HOME MARKET FOR OUR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE.

Dit. TUPPER’S PLANK.

‘*T trust I have satisfied the House that IT IS NOT a question of high or low iaxa- tion, any further than this, that, inasmuch as we governed the country with a small taxation, and inasmuch as we ere prepared to govern the country again without those extravagant expenditures made by the pres- ent Government since they have been en- trusted with power, all we ask is, Nor THAT THE TAXATION OF THE PEOPLE SHALL BE INCREASED, becanse we do not require so much money as the hon. gentlemen oppo- site, as we have shown by our economy in the past, and which we are prepared to practice in the future, but that the money shall be levied in such a way as to FURNISH EMPLOYMENT FOR THE PEOPLE AND PROVIDE THE MEANS OF PAYING THE TAXATION THAT IS LEVIED UPON THEM. ”

And after he obtained power, he was kind enough to observe :—

‘*T assert, in the first place, that since the inauguration of the present Governiyent, the most scrupulous care has been taken to

| have the contract system so administered | that it would be difficult, re Nor mpossrBxe, for the public contractors who are friends | of the Government to obtain any advantage, or that public contractors, who are op- ponents of the Government, should suffer any wrong in the administration of that De- partment.”

Then he undertook to eall for new ten- ders for certain sections of the Welland Canal, with the following result :—

This difference is just 14 per cent. in ex- cess of the offers to the late Government. But Grit contractors got the money, and who’s to blame ?

A Grit Candidate’s Ideas on Trade Policy.

The following is an extract from the speech of F. X. Archambault, Q. C., the

** Reform” candidate in Montreal East.

It shows how the feeling of Montreal runs on the Trade question :—

‘** There were complaints about the tariff, and he was of opinion that the tariff was in- complete —that it was defective in some re- spects. If they seut him to Ottawa, he should endeavor to obtain a remedy and a readjustment in order to protect our manu- factures without injuring our commerce, which is a principle resource of a portion of the population of this city. ‘ The Americans, who are suffering from the crisis, sent some of their manufactured goods to Le sold here at any price, and this was one of the causes that tended to injure our industries. He thought the tariff should be re-adjusted, and was a Protee- tionist in this sense. (Cheers.) He was in favor of protection to our industries, and if sent to Ottawa he should strongly advyo- cate this. He sympathised with the Mac- Kenzie Government, but if their policy placed the interest of his constituency in danger, he should vote against them, or against any Government that might succeed them.

~<a -— The Americanizing Policy.

The Americanizing policy is doing its work in every branch of trade. Here, for instance, are the tea imports :-—

1874. 1877. Great Britain...... $1,418,267 $1,440,622 United States...... 12 1,712,028 MN us iw vases 834,290 72,772 WO st a5 kc soa ss. 212,587 210,448

Thus while our tea trade with the Mother Country is at a standstill, the import trade with the United States is rising to gigantic proportions, while direct Canadian trade with China is practically killed. One-sided Free Trade, which the Huntington-Mills Jones party loves so well, is destroying both Canadian and British trade.

A Surecut Conrrast.—Mr. Brydges re- ceives $8,000 per year as Superintendent of Government railways, (the arduous duties of the position requiring his presence in the Maritime Provinces as often as once in sev- eral weeks), and $4,000 per year as I. vu. R. Construction Commissioner: or $38 per day. Besides this hehas a Palace car costing $20, 000, with a special conductor and other ** luxuries.” Presto! The Moncton work- ingman, who is paid none too well at best, is put on an eight-hour “ eighty-eight cent” system in the middle of the hardest winter Canada has ever seen, hundreds are discharged, and the trackmen are also ‘‘re- formed” out of 10 cents per day—all for the purpose of making up that $38 per day with ‘‘ extras” for Mr. Brydges. ‘The Ot- tawa Citizen, in pointing out the extrava-

_gance of the Grits, says ‘‘ Hurrah for Re-

form economy !” We can go one better; we say ‘* Hurrah for Sinclair and McGill, Perry and Yeo, McIntyre and McFayden ! Hurrah for each and all supporters of the

“ Organized Hypocrisy.”

GENERAL NEWS. i __e OC There is no Grit candidate at ail in Carle- ton, Ontario, but still the Grit prospects are very encouraging.

OvrT of six constituencies in British Cal- umbia, all but one return Conservative members by acclamation.

The European Commissioners to reorgan- ize Eastern Roumelia and Bulgaria meet at Constantinople on the 15th prox.

The Grits have not got a candidate in Toronto West yet. But then, you know, the party prospects are splendid !

Embarkation of the Russian troops has begun, and orders have been issued for the immediate withdrawal of the British fleet.

A Sworp Fisa.—An immense sword fish was captused in Bedford Basin on Thurs- day evening, and is now on exhibition in

Halifax.

Mr. Laurier is again in doubt as to a con- stituency. Three Rivers, Queb, is now said to have been the object of his latest fascina- tions. But Mr. McDougall still holds the fort.

For two days the streets have been full of the rumor that Mr. John Macdonald has withdrawn his consent to run as a Minis- terial candidate for Centre Toronto. —Tor- onto Mail.

In Richmond and Wolfe, Quebec, one Grit candidate has retired, leaving his OUp- position rival in possession of the field. Still, the party prospects are awfully en- couraging.

Mr. Stoner has finished his canvass here for the birdseye view of Charlottetown, and has requested us to tender his thanks to the subscribers, and to inform them that he will endeavor to give them a picture that will be satisfactory.

Norapitta. —The wife of Charles Cushing, of Caledonia, a short time ago presented her husband with a daughter. There is nothing unusual about this: what we con- sider worth recording is that the child has a father and mother, grandfather and grandmother, great-grandfather and great- grandmother, all living in one house, and is net likely to lack petting. —Li verpool (N. S.) Times.

MAacKEREL.—Reports are current this week that the mackerel have again struck in St. Mary’s Bay. It is said that on Sun- day last such a large and powerful school passed through Petit Passage that it was densely packed, and that the noise made by the rush was plainly heard at a distance of two miles. One of our captains states that just outside the Gut there were “‘ acres of em.” —Digby Courier.

After three failures in Cumberland, a candidate has been selected to oppose Dr. Tupper. It will dé the young gentleman who has been selected a deal of good in in- troducing him to the county generally, and Dr. Tupper’s chances of election will not be less. So there’s no harm done. Dr. Tup- per will be elected. Mr. Pipes will get some valuable experience, and there’s an end on’t.

The Journal of Commerce of Montreal, after consideration, comes to the following conclusion: ‘‘Even at the risk of some loss, owing to increased price, we would fa- vor a policy which would give Canadian markets to our Canadian industries, and we believe that the result of such a policy would not be an increase of price- Our ob- ject, of course, would not be to obtain revy- enue from such duties, but to exclude for- eign competition.”

‘* Who’s dead!” ‘‘ Who’s dead!” was the general inquiry as the cortege contain- ing the Premier, the Finance Minister, and Messrs. Davies, Stewart and others, moved through our streets on Tuesday afternoon. The Gand played the ‘‘ Death March of Gritism,” and the absence of the hearse, was the only mark of distinction between the procession and an ordinary funeral. The mourners consisted of a few officials, in four carriages. It isa poor funeral that has not a larger procession than this.—Proyress,

Bismarck did not make so great a mis- take after all in dissolving Parliament and having a newelection. The latest estimates by foreign mail of the strength of the three political groups in the German Reichstag give 113 seats to the Conservatives, 153 tu the Liberals, and 100 to the Ultramontane or Catholic party. The Liberal party, com- posed as it will be of National Liberals, the Lowe group and Progressists, will yet lack over forty to obtain a majority ; but there are at least one-third of the National Lib- erals who on all serious questions will vote with the Conservatives.

Mr. McKenzie last night seemed deter- mined to complete the injury done to his party by Mr. Cartwright. There was no necessity whatever for him to go out of his way to denounce Sir John, and to do so by declaring that Sir John’s Government was held together by the “‘shillaly.” When Mr. McKenzie referred to ‘‘shillaly” everybody understood that it was a gratuitous and wanton attack upon the Irishmen of Can- ada, for, according to Sir John, in common with other nationalities, a warm and gen- erous support. Common decency should have prevented Mr. McKenzie from making this attack. The storm of hisses which fol. lowed showed the disapproval of the au- dience.—Hz, Reporter. .
