Mr. Tilley’s Position.

‘“That”—said Mr. Tilley, referring to the burst of applause with which he was greeted on his return to public life—‘‘has an old- fashioned ring about it. I heard that same ring here nearly thirty years ago. It then angured success; and as such I welcome it now. For the past five years, as Gov- ernor of the Province, it was my duty to be guarded in my public utterances, but to- night,” sail he, “‘fam free again, and I ain’ rejoiced once more to meet with my fellow-citizeus and commune with them on the great public questions of the day.” Mr. Tilley has accepted of a requisition, signed by over a thousand of the citizens of St. John, to become a candidate at the ap- proaching Dominion Election. His con- duct had been commented upon by the pub- lic press from one end of the Dominion to the other; and it is gratifying to know that he now again appears before the people of Canada with the endorsement of his po- litical opponents, an honest pubjic man. It must certainly also be gratifying for him to know that, after thirty years of public ser- vice, Mr. Tilley stands-—his enemies being his judges—acquitted of having done any- thing discreditable or of having sacrificed the public interest to advance his own. The charge made against him by the Hon. A. McKenzie, at a public picnic, that he sat and voted in the House, with his com- mission as Governor in his pocket, he clearly disproves. Mr. Tilley has not been, until now, in a position to deny that false charge. Strong inducements were held out to Mr. Tilley by the Grits to accept re-appointment to the honorable position of Lieutenant- Governor. This is also most gratifying. But Mr. Tilley, very properly, refused to place himself in a position that would give any one the chance to say that he had been bought.

Mr. Tilley says that had he been in Par- liament, he would take exception to almost every one of the changes made by Cart- wright in the tariff. First, the duty on ship materials, which were, in old times, all free; Mr. Cartwright changed this at the very time the shipping interest most needed fostering. That was an injurious change which will not,Mr. Tilley thinks,be approved of by the people. Second, Mr. Cartwright’s tea duty is obnoxious to the country. The removal of 10 per cent. on tea coming from the United States had destroyed our direct tea trade; and give the Americans a mono- poly. The conseqnence is that the Domin- 1on is overrun with tea peddlers from the States; taking from our traders the busi- ness that legitimately belonged to them. Third, the sugar duties. Their effect has been to close the sugar refineries of Canada —to drive away from the Dominion 300 or 400 workmen engaged in sugar refining, and to change the whole current of our West India trade. With proper Tariff re- gulations, Halifax, St. John, Montreal and Quebec, :aight do a flourishing business in that branch of industry. Fourth; the duty imposed on raw material. The policy of the Liberal-Conservative Government was to enable raw material, which entered into manufactures here, to come in free. The late Government went even further; and permitted machinery that could not be manufactured in Canada, and which was to be used in manufacturing, to enter duty free! The McKenzieadministration changed all this by imposing duties on raw material and by imposing a duty of 10 per cent. on machinery. The duty on tobacco was also changed by the present Government, as was also the duty on spirits, imposing a very much larger burden on the articles used by the poor man than on those consumed by the rich. Mr. Tilley says—-as every one knows—that it is utterly false that Sir John and his party are going to increase the taxes of the country. It has been falsely stated that Sir John ever named the rate at which he proposed to _ increase the tariff to thirty-five per cent. No such idea, Mr. Tilley says, ever enter- ed Sir John’s head or that of any of his followers. Mr. Tilley is in favor of a read- justment of the tariff, which would render the tax equitable to all classes of the people throughout the Dominion. The word ‘re- adjustment” does not suit ovr opponents. But we want no increase of taxation. We do want the tax properly imposed. Our manufacturing industries, which gives em- ployment to so many of our people should, in Mr. Tilley’s opinion, be fostered and not crushed out. The half-fed and half em- ployed mechanics and laborers of our com- mon country call upon every representative man in the Dominion to apply the proper remedy, or otherwise prove recreant to

duty. The future prosperity of the Do-

-minion, Mr. Tilley thinks, largely depends on the vote that will be cast at the coming

v lection.

Mr. Cartwright Dissected.

** Current Events,” in Rose- Belford Cana- dian Monthly for August, has the following on the Finance Minister :—

‘* Perhaps the recent political history of Canada has never been so boldly travestied before an intilligent audience as the Finance Minister attempted to travesty it at Stra- throy. His facts are almost invariably wrong, and his figures—well, his figures are plastic and accommodating. No public man, eu Confederation, has less right than Mr, Cartwright to attempt a:

‘show of consistency. Whether the soupcon of personal pique against the Conservative leader, on the ground that his claims as a financier were contemptuously set aside, be true or not, there is certainly a verismili- ‘tude about it, read in the light of the min. | ister’s vindicative speeches against his for mer chief, which cannot be blinked. The attempt to play upon popular ignorance, or rather popular indifference, not merely to him and his antecedents, but to any party politics more than a year old, is futile. He is now responsible for the financial status and credit of the Dominion, and we have no hesitation in saying—although there is not a sign of a. suitable successor en the other side—that he is not the man to play ducks and drakes with the futureof the Do- minion. His policy has been all wreng from the first to last; he has borrowed money at ruinous rates, when he should have imposed taxes; he blames his predeces- sors for not imposing taxes when they were not wanted; his forecast of the future has egregiously failed in every year of his tenure of office; and, in addition to all his other deficiencies, he has the foulest tongue, save, perhaps, Mr. Francis Jones inthe Dominion. Incompetency is stamped upon the whole course of his administration, and if posterity will not say of him what Sir Francis Dashwood éxpected contemporaries to remark, ‘“There goes the worst Chancel- lor of the Exchequer that ever lived,” it will ” because they have forgotten all about

im.

Mr. Cartwright is so caten wp of personal antipathies that le could net do any good as a Minister if he would. In his Strathroy speech, for instance, on another point of attack, he began the old story about the Washington Treaty. He knows what every one else knows, that whatever Sir John Macdonald’s faults may be, he is not likely, if only from the self-regarding instincts of the politician, to betray his country. The Fiance Minister is not ignorant that Imperial considerations were supreme at Washington, and that, in fact, Sir John was an Imperial representative ; and he knows right well that by no possible construction of the Geneva referenze could the Fenian claims have been brought within the purview of the Commission. And yet he has the meanness to cast it up as a re- proach that the ex-Premier did not effect what he is quite aware was absolutely im- possible.» Mr. Cartwright is not the only party leader who offends every principle of sound morality and good taste in party warfare, only he occupies. a conspicuous station and has made hiuself peculiarly vul- nerable by his flippant and unscrupulous language when dealing with opponents.”

[Our readers will be glad to learn that we have private advice which gives assurance of the defeat of Mr. Cartwright. }

Suicide on Exhibition.

A LECTURER ANNOUNCES HIS INTENTION to

SHOOT HIMSELF AFTER THE DELIVEEY

OF HIS LECTURE AS A PART OF THE

PERFORMANCE—HE KEEPS HIS PROMISR, Cuicaco, July 25, 1878.

A special despatch to the Times, from Capron, IIL, says: ‘‘A dramatic snicide oe- curred here on Tuesday night. Karly in May last George W. Burleigh, who was an old resident of Ohio, came to this town os- tensibly to start a tonsorial establishment. Burleigh was a man of varied accomplish- ments. He had a fine education, and was versatile in conversation. While at Capron he was often in depressed spirits. Last Sunday he published a card informing the citizens that, in order te gratify an often expressed curiosity on the part of his towns- men to witness some such tragedy as the hanging of Sherry and Connolly, in Chi- cago, he would on the evening of the 23rd inst., deliver a lecture in Thorn- ton Hall, and at its conclusion gratify his hearers by shooting himself through ‘the forehead. The price of admission would be $1, and the amount realized should. be used in his funeral expenses, and the re- mainder be invested in the works of Hux- ley, Tyndall and Darwin for the town li- brary. His idea in ending his life was to secure eternal peace by annihilation. At the appointed time the hall was crowded, and after the delivery of an infidel lecture of wonderful power, in a manner and tone which marked him as an adept, he sudden- ly drew a Derringer, placed it to his fore- head, and, despite attempts to prevent the rash deed, fired and fell into the arms of two friends who were on the wings of the stage for the purpose of hindering the ex- ecution of the design. The large sized bul- let literally tore his brain to pieces. He left a request that his body be forwarded to Cincinnati friends.

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American peo- ple are to-day dying from the effects of | Dyspepsia or disordered liver.. The result of these diseases upon the masses of in- _telligent and valuable people is most alarm. ‘ing, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and ‘usefulness as it ought tobe. There ig no good reason for this, if you will only throw ‘aside prejudice and skepticism, take the ad. vice of druggists and your friends, and try one bottle uf Green’s August Flower. Your spoedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, with satisfactory results in every case. You can buy asample bottle for 19 cents to try. Three will re- lieve the worst case. Positively sold by al}
