THE PREFERENTIAL CLAUSE.
Wuen the Liberals were coquetting with
Mr. Blaine and agitating the country by wild demands for, “Commercial Uuion’ and “Unrestricted Reciprocity” with the
United States, the Conservatives were cor- a dering the idea of preferential trade with
Great Britain. But the Conservatives discovered that the Most Favored Nations clause in the British Treaties with Ger- many, Belgium and other countries pre- vented Canada from giving Great Britain apy preference over them. In the Ger- man treaty it is plainly set forth that “In the colonies and foreign possessions of Her Britannic Majesty the produce of the states of the zollverein shall not be subject to any higher or other import duties than the produce of the United Kingdom, or of any other country of the like kind ;” and inthe treaty, with Belgium the clause reads : ‘‘Articles, the produce or manu- facture of Belgium shall not be subject in the British colonies to others or higher duties than those which are or may be im- posed upon similar articles of British origin
In view of these s:ipulations, it follows that if Canada should ecact a preferentia! tariff favouring Great Britain, the invports from each of these countries must be preferred to the same extent; and in view of this fact, it follows that, so long as these stipulations are in force, a preferen- ‘ial duty cannot be applied exclusively to goods imported into Canada from Great Britain. Conscanently the application of sach a duty must resa!t in a very consider- able reduct’on of revenue, while the pro- tection afforded Canadiau industries must incidentally be reduced or rendered nuga- tory, in respect esp2cially to sugar upon the export of Germ3ny pays a bounty. Underthese circumstances Sir Charles Tupper and other Conservative leaders {proposed the abrogation of the most favored nations clause. They did this in order that Canada might be enabied to offer a real and valuable preference which would not apply to other nations
but only to Great Britain and our sister colonies. This proposition was under consideration in Great Britain when, a3 a result of the agitation covcerning the Manitoba School Question, the Conserva- tives were driven from power. When
stealing the lateGovernment’s N.P. clothes, the Liberal Government which came instole also the idea of a preferential tariff. But the theft was committed regardless alike of the circumstances and the results, and the idea is to be applied in its crudest form
Blind to the Most Favored Nations clause’ and careless of the protection of our young industries, the new tariff provides a pre- ference applicable to Great Britain and also to all those countries which enjoy the advantages of the Most Favored Nations clause. Judging by their statements in Parliament, the Ministers seem not to have comprehended or even considered carefully the peculiar conditions under which their preferentia' clause is to be applied. But they, as well as Parliament and the public, see the point now. They caunot, of course, retreat. They must go on and take their chances of reduced revenue and rnioed industries, while afford- ing practically po preference to British goods in competition with German and Belgian goods.
As showing that they are disposed to be griendly with Great Britain. —now that they cannot obtain Unrestricted Reciprocity the United States involying a
discrimination against Great Britain—the preferential clause has been a success. At first blush it was received with joy and acclamation by the press and people of the Mother Country. But when it is discovered that it is accompanied by a considerable in- crease of the duties from which merely an eighth and eventually a quarter is to be deducted, and when it is discovered that it affords no preference at all over German acd Belgian goods, as well as the goods of many other countries, their admiration will probably subside a# suddenly as it was raised. Already the sober second

THE ARBITRATION

The regret, we fee] sure,will be keenest of all among the more intelligent, enlightened oni Chr'stian classes of the people of the Great Repnbiic.
Merely as showing that “good- vill towards
man” 18 @ jlving principle of action in the |
United States, as well as in Great Britain,
the acceptance of the arbitration treaty would have been a subject of rej icing and congratulation throughout Christerdom. But we can now only rejoice in the fact that the United States Senate does not, io respect to this matter, represent the public opinion of the majerity in the United States.

—Colonel Hay, United States Minister in Great Brita has gone to England in an animated mood. Upon landing at South- hampton he was met by the Mayor who presented an address. In reply he ex- preseed himeelf a; being “gratified, pleased and tonched” at the kind and unmerited compliment. He came to them, he said, entirely unknown, and he could only re- gard it as a manifestation of kindly feeling from t! ia country towards the country he represented, and he was more infinitely pleased with it than he should have been by any personal civility. He had come to work in the interests and welfare of his own country, and it was the convictiou of the President and people of the United States that these interests and that welfare could be beat served by the promotion of the most cordial and friendly understand- ing between. England and the United States. There were many things in which he should not make any attenipt to com- pete with his distinguished predecessor and those who bad been before him; but he dared challenge comparison with them in the hearty good will that he should bring into the work. He was no stranger to English hospitality, as on former visits to this country, when in an _ unofficial capacity, he had learned to appreciate \heir warm hearts and liberal hands, and he could not be assured of a weleome any less warm. He brought, he concluded. the affectionate greetings of millions of their fellow kindred across the sea,

—The Montrea\ Gazette remarks thet one after effect of the Fieldiny changes is likely to be that it will be hara- er to get capital for investment in Cana- dian enterprise than has hitherto been the rule. This will apply to both bome and foreign money. and mostly to the latter, perhaps. In almost every large Canadian industry there has been considerable of British or foreign capital invested, the profit-earning power cf which has in almost every case been reduced, and in some altogether wiped eut. That fact is not encouraging, and the case is not made better by the declarations of friends of the Government, in press and eleéwhere, that the process of skinning bas only begur. The country is likely to pay for the mis- take it made in putting theorists in a place where practical business «en should be.

SUPREME COURT,
Nicholson, appellent, and Fennell, res pondend. Nicholson, appellant, and Riley, respondent. These weretwo appeal- from the County Court, Queen’s County, and were heard together as the facts were the same in both case. I'he appellant wae atraier at Dundas and after being in business two years or so failed with large J liabilities. He made a preferential assign- ment for the benefit of creditors. He was indebted to both respondents, who were both informed that the appellant intended leaving this Island, and they thereupon issued Capaises under the County Court act uncer which the appellant was arrested The cases were tried before Judge Alley, and on the trials there was ro dispute as to the amount of the claims against the appellant, or of the bona fide action of the } respondents in arresting ihe appellant} but it was contended that as a fact appellant did not intend leaving tbe Island, and therefore he was entitled to his discharge from arrest. Judge Alley, atter hesring evidence, refused his discharge, holding first that the defendant was properly ar- rested in the first place,on proper grounds and reasonable cause, and that even if appellant’s contention was correct that he did not intend to leave the Island, that he had failed to es- tablish that fact, as the evidence adduced by him was not satisfactory. From these decisions appeals were taken to the Supreme Court, and were yesterday heard before the Chief Justice and Justices Hodgson and Fitzgerald, who unanimously
grounds, and dismissed the appeals with costs. The Court stated that Judge Alley could not-have arrived at any other con- clusion, and that his decisions were not Oven to any objection. There was an objec- tion raised that there was no appeal from ; such a decision of the County Court, not being a judgment or order for payment of naoney; but this point was not decided, the Judges preterring to rest their decision on the merite.
