severe ;

Grit Party perpetrated, would, certainly, shrink from no iniquity in the way of ma- king good their designs. On the struggle | of yesterday, McKenzie and his associates must have cast anxious glances. The weak Party Governor Letellier did as he was bidden ; and trampled under foot the very tirst principles of Constitutional Govern- ment, in order to hold in power men who have lost the confidence of the people. For weeks back the conduct of the Grits has been of the most despicable character. Slander, abuse, lies, and every iniquity have come readily to their hands, and have been used as weapons to further theirpurpose. More depended on thiselection than McKenzie will ever choose to confess ; and from the news that has so far come to hand, every hope that McKenzie attached to success must droop and wither.

Our telegrams show that, although An- vers and Baker are the victims of atrocious slanders, the Constitutional Party has been returned to power, Responsible Government has been vindicated, and the miserable in- irigue of the moribund Government of the Dominion has been of no avail. Thus this the first open attempt of McKenzie to

subvert the Constitution to his ambi- tion has met in the Province of Quebec with such a reception as will deter

George Brown and his Premier henchman from ever again attempting to tamper with the people's liberties.

American Privateers.

A Correspondent of the London Times says :——‘** The letter of Sir Samuel Baker, suggesting ‘admonition’ to the United States Government, overlooks the existence ef the treaty made between the United States and Great Britain in 1871, when tieveral Grant was at the head of the one Cabinet and Mr. Gladstone at the head of the other. This treaty covers the very point now causing anxiety to your corres pondents, whether in the event of a war between Great Britain and a maritime Pow- er like Russia the United States might not be made the base for a naval war upon English commeree as destructive asthe war made (by the Alabama upon American commerce. Before that treaty it would have been possible for Americans to sail with impunity from American ports and destroy English merchant ships, and the

ish fleet would have had the difficult task of watehing the long lines of the At- lantic and Pacitic coasts to prevent it. The inqst attractive argument against the ac- ceptance of the Treaty of Washington was’ that, in the event of just such a case as is now threatened, America would lose her ‘revenge. By that treaty the two coun- tries made themselves responsible for the escape of any unfriendly armed vessel and for all the consequences of the escape. As it now stands, no American can sail from an American pert as a Russian privateer with- out being regarded as a pirate. If your correspondents will study the terms of the Washington Treaty, they will find that the contingency they fear—-the contingency of American built Alabamas destroying Eng- lish ships—has been provided against by rules as stringent as it is possible for dip- lomacy to make them. The value of that much-censured treaty will be seen, should there, unhappily, be wav between Great Britain and Russia. All Englishmen and cept anthracite) but our mines were idie,the millions of capftal invested ia them unem- ) ployed, and miners in some parts of Nova! Scotia actually starving,andonly saved from death, by starvation, through supplies of food furnished them at the expense of the Local Government of that Province.

Mr. Bright, whatever his faults, has never been a flatterer, and his courage is such as would not ooze out in the presence of Princes. This aneedote, which we give for what it is worth as illustrative of Mr. Bright’s sturdy character, is worthy of him. Not long ago he was in company with a Royal Princess and other great people, and during the course of conversation many hard things were said of Mr. Gladstone, who, never a fayorite with the aristocracy, is now not unnaturally the subject of the bitterest language amongst them._ ‘* Do you think,” said Mr. Bright, turning to one of the most vehement of the ladies, ‘*that your. ehildren have ever seen Mr. Glad-

times when the very large sum of $2,400,- 000 has been paid out in a short time to a foreign country for the machinery necessary to enlarge Canadian canals ! This, how- ever, isa small amount compared with the total of importations of articles which should be raised or produced in Canada, A few facts from the Trade and Navigation Re- turns for 1877 will interest such of our readers as would like to see the drain of money from ow country stopped. The following articles were imported into Ca nada last year (for Home Consumption) of

| Natural Products, all of which can be pro- ‘duced in Canada :

Wheat Flour : 549,053 bbls.; value $2,-

964,273. Nearly three millions of Dollars sent to the United States for flour. Rye Flour : 1,969 bbls. ; value $9,616. Indian Meal : 294,342 bbls. ; value $878,- 477. All of this was from the United States. Oatmeal : 4,007 bbls.; value $27,243 ; of which $20,290 worth came from the States. All other Meal: 4,260 bbls.; value $11,- 925—nearly all from the States. Barley ; 369,801 bushels ; value $187,-

144. All but $1,864 worth came from the States. Oats : 1,697,968 bushels. These all came

from the States (except 262 bushels), and were entered at the Custom House value— $610,682, or at 36 cents per bushel—but as a matter of fact were sold far below that figure, as Ontario oats were reduced in price in consequence of their importation, though not so much so as was subsequently caused by the excessive importations of the fall of 1877, when Ontario oats were in con- sequence reduced in value by ten cents per bushel. As these were free entries, it is not probable that either the quantity or the value has been over stated.

Peas and Beans : 8,669 bushels ; $15,670——-nearly all from the States.

Rye : 65,414 bushels ; value $43,632-—all from the States.

Indian Corn : 8,260,059 bushels ; $4,259,496—all from the States.

Wheat : 4,589,056 bush. ; value $4,846,- 824—all from the States.

Other Grains : 635 bushels ; value, S850— from the States.

Here we are brought face to face with the startling fact that in the last fiscal year —ending June 30, 1877—the people of Canada paid the farmers and millers of the United States, for 853,641 BARRELS OF FLOUR AND MEAL, *NEARLY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS IN GOLD; and for about FIFTEEN MILLIONS OF BUSH- ELS OF GRAIN they paid them TEN

value

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN GOLD— or the enormous sum of FOURTEEN

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN GOLD for BREADSTUFFPS alone.

All this came in Dury Free while the produce of the Canadian farmer (with one or two exceptions), waS ALMOST PRO- HIBITED !

Next take coal, which is also Frer :—

Anthracite Cual : 420,010 tons ; value $1,- 793,467—all, except 411 tons, from the States,

Bituminous Coal; From Great Britain, 160,175 tons ; value, $40],644, From the United States, 353,795 tons; value, $1,-

304,510. Total, 513,970 tons ; value, $1,- 706,154.

Other Coal and Coke : 45,712 tons; value $161,367.

For Coal and Coke, therefore, we paid $3,660,928. That is to say, the importers paid that much, but adding costs and charges and a reasonable profit, we may safely place the cost to the people of Ca- nada at FIVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN GOLD,

Atthe same time we had in Canada abundance of eyery deseription of coal (ex - all Americans who value the development of Anglo-Saxon civilization will regard the Washington ‘Treaty, denounced in the United States with so much vehemence by the opponents of General Grant, and in Great Britain with no less vehemence by the opponents of Mr, Gladstone, as among the noblest contributions of far-seeing statesmanship towards the peage, the honor, and the security of the Anglo-Saxon world.”

‘Heavy Shipments of Cattle and

Horses from Canada.

The shipment of Canadian cattle to Eng- land is being carried on this spring upon a large scale. As soon as the ocean steamers arrive in this port, the long and tedious journey by rail to Portland will be aban- doned, and shippers will ship direct for England from this city. Last week one hun- dred and fifteen first-class steers, having an average weight of twenty-two hundred pounds, left Point St. Charles for Portland, from whence they will start by steamer for England on Saturday. They were fattened at Guelph, Ont., and were purchased by Messrs. Thomson and Flannagan. We learn that Messrs. Price will ship a large consign- ment of cattle for the Engiish market this week.

In consequence of the war preparations now being made by the British Government, it has issued instructions for the purchase of

stone?” The lady was sure they had not. | **I would advise you, then,” said the mem- , ber for Birmingham, ‘‘to take them to see, him, that they may say in their after-lives that they have Nitleed upon one who, taken for all in all, is perhaps the greatest man that this country has produced.” Perhaps they might with more justice be taken to see Lord Beaconsfield.

six thousand horses for army purposes, and naturally trade in horses suitable for artil- lery and cavalry service is brisk. Horse dealers are travelling through Ontaric, and

buying up superior animals for this purpose. i

Six hundred horses left Point St. Charles this morning for Portland, from whence they will be shipped in a few days,

A drever, who has been engaged in the shipment of cattle to England for some time, informed our reporter that horses are the most troublesome and often the least profit- able stock to ship. Occasionally at their journey’s end the finest animai jn the con- signment ig injured, while the oldest and least valuable comes out unscathed. Great

On the voyage across the ocean four men are employed to feed and take care of a consignment of about one hundred head. A butcher is taken also to kill and dress any animals which may be- come injured on the long voyage.—Mon- treal paper.

The Sun Mutual.

Tue Sun Mutual Life and Accident In- surance Company, of Montreal--so well re presented here by Mr. Horace Haszard— shows a gratifying record. From the Annual Report we learn that the distribu- tion of profits last year was an important event in the history of the Company. The results of the quinquennial investigation and division of surplus were very gratifying to the Directors, as proving the exception- ally sound condition of the Company. Many of the Assured have expressed their entire satisfaction with the award made to their policies. The following are cited in

illustration :— No. Sum Bonus Assured. additions. 29, Life Policy, $10,000 $620 4S. v 10,000 588 84. " 10,000 DSI

After setting aside the full rest ascer- tained by applying the severe test of the Government standard of reserves at 45 per cent.——the full amount of paid-up capital— and providing fer all unpaid claims, there remained the very handsome surplus of $55,299.51. Certainly an ample testimony to the sound ani economical management of the Directors, and as amply sustaining the claims of the Company to take first rank among successfu) companies.

The Conservative policy of the Directors was very conspieuous in the manner in which the surplus was disposed of. Instead of following in te lead of some prominent Companies and writing away the whole of the $55,299.51, we divided only $37,586. Nearly $10,000 of the Net Surplus was re- served to act if needed as a guarantee fund against any possible depreciation in the value of securities Invested in, or excess in the death rate. If not so required, it will apply towards increasing the profit rate of surviving insurants in the first quinquen- nium. Besides the entire Bonus which ac- crued to the Shareholders, although largely made up from the Non-Participating busi- ness, was not paid away as Dividend, but applied towards increasing the paid up Ca- pital, which now stands $62,500. These precautionary measures of the Directors it tirmly believed will command the approval of all concerned, while commending the Company to the public as_ thoroughly re- liable and safe. The chief object of the Executive has been, and ever will continue to be, to make the name of the Sun Mutual a synonym for security and honourable dealing.

The investments, asa special and very important department, have been placed under the immediate supervision of a Com- mittee of Directors, whose members have had long and intimate personal experience in such matters. During the yea they in- vested in first mortgages on real estate, $47,826.65, and in other first-class securities $6,762.50, thus making for the year a solid addition to the Company’s assets of $55,589. 15.
