More Beneficial Effects of the National Policy.

‘* One fact is worth a hundred assertions.”

Speetater :-—** Messrs. Semmens Bros., of Hamilton, are building another addition to their already extensive premises, which will be two stories in height and 10x35 feet in size. They are making preparations for the carrying on of a largely increased business.

Spectator :—** Messrs. Copp Bros. & Co., of Hamilton, arenow having new brick build-. ings constructed within the square of their ex tensive premises on York and Bay Streets, for the turning out of the metal work in connec- tion with their manufacture of ploughs. The work is carried on under the supervision of Mr. John Lane, of Chicago, who is said to be one of the most proficient men in the manu facture of ploughs that is to be found in the United States. He is introducing special machinery and&furnaces so that the facilities for production will be greatly increased and the cost considerably lassened. A special plough for use in Manitoba will be one of the new features. When the new machinery is in operation American ploughs will have to remain over the lines, as the same patterns will be produced within the Dominion.”

A number of men are now basily engaged at Hamilton, in fitting the nail and spike factory connected with the rolling mills with machin- ery. ‘Thirty-three nail machines will be em- ployed when the works are completed. At present, $50,000 worth of machinery has ar- rived for this enterprise.

Messrs. Duncan, Fuller & Co., the cele- brated boot and shoe manufacturers of Detroit. sooner than be done out of their Canadian trade under the National Policy, have estab- lished a large factory in Toronto.

The ‘‘Canada Publishing Company’ has been incorporated ; place of business, Toronto; capital, $150,000; object, to manufacture, publish and sell books and school requisites.

A large cabinet factory is about being erected by Mr. Zingsheim, Kirg street, Ham- ilton, for the manufacture of all kinds of fur- niture.

Journal of Commerce -—‘* New boiler works are in the course of construction at Windsor by a Detroit firm.”

‘he pioreer shipment of fruit and orna- mental trees hitherto supplied from the United States is announced from Windsor to the Kastern Provinces.

The Stormont Cotton Manufacturing Com- pany, of which Messrs. Gault Bros. & Co., of Montreal, are the principal promoteis, are about to begin the erection of suitable build- ings in Cornwall, the people of that town having voted them a bonus of $10,000 and a remission of taxes for twenty years.

Monetary Times :—“‘ The mill and elevator to be erected at Point Edward, near Sarnia, has got as far already as a test pile, which was driven last week.”

The new kiln for the St. Jéhn, Que., glass factory building, of German clay, is to cost

$1,000.

Brantford Courier :—‘‘ Mr, James Coleman, the business agent of the Hamilton Forging Company, while in conversation with ono of our business men, this morning, stated that the business of the Company was increasing so rapidly that they would be compelled to con- tinue work in the shops night and day ; that they had orders at the present time for over two thousand axles, which was being largely supplemented each day. He attributes the success of the industry to the readjustment of the tariff, and is ,confident that ere long Can- ada will be the most successful country under the sun.”

Mai! :—‘‘The Galt Reformer very properly condemns certain confreres who circulated a story to the effect thatthe Ay: Agricultural Works were about to close owing to the N. P. Its Ayr correspondent says the proprietor has shipped! since Jan Ist over 1,275 machines and has at present more unfilled orders than ever before, no less than eighty-two of them being received in one day last week. He found it necessary to telegraph his agents to stop sell- ing hay rakeson Monday last, as he found that orders were coming in for them much faster than he could manufacture in time. More men are employed and more machines are being made and sold than ever before.”

Montreal Gazette :--We learn that Messrs. Fisher, Son & Co. have acquired a fine mill property at St. Gabriel Locks, fer the purpose of manufacturing heavy woollen goods. New machinery has been placed in the building, about 50 pair of broad looms being now ready for eperation, and it is the intention of the

rietors to at once engage in the manufac- ture of Union Bevers, President Cloths, and, in fact, every class of cheap overcoatings, ‘There will be employed at once about 100 men in connection with the mill, and the staff will be increased as the market enlarges. No mill in Canada has hitherto been engaged ‘in the manufacture of these goods, Gay bane all im- ported, but the new tariff having afforded an opportunity for the manufacture of heavy overcoatings in Canada, Messrs. Fisher, Sons & Co. have determined to enter upon the en- terprise, and will shortly begin operations,

Ottawa Free Press :—‘*One good result is likely to spring from the N. P. Legislation. The doubling of the duty on imported animals will, it is said, keep out of Canada the Ameri- can circus shows, which, in the spring and early summer, used to invade the country and carry away hundreds of thousands of dollars ot hardly-earned money. People who never subscribed te a newspaper, or read a book of natural history in their lives, hesi- tated not to invest ten or fifteen dollars and drive twenty or thirty miles to see a show,— the horse meding and the lewd jokes cf the clown proving the great attractions. We are not sorry to see a stop put to exhibitions of this character, and only regret the ‘ Minstrel’ nuisance: cannot be as easily extinguished.”

Mone(ary Tones: ‘There are four factories being built in the Madawaska, New Bruns- wick, to make starch from potatoes.” The Globe some time ago complained that the N. P. did not increase the pretection to starch refiners while it taxed the raw material (corn. )

Now the beneticial effect shows itself, we are }

goimg to make starch from something our tarmers can profitably produce.”’

Ottaw: Telegram to Globe: “It is stated on reliable authority that Mr. P. T. Barnum paid $4,000 duty on bringing his show into Canada.”’ So much gained by the N. P. at all events, according to the Glole’s own admission,

A vinegar factory has been started in Lon- don, Ont , capacity 60,000 gallons per anni. The capital come from the States.

London Advertiser: ‘*The shipments of flour froma this city to Glasgow last week equalled 2,900 barrels.” The milling interest 1s not qnite dead yet, seemingly, 48 large shipments of flour to Glasgow are being inmade weekly and new mills are being erected.

Napanee Standard :—‘* The cari iage manu- facturing business was one which was singled out by the Opposition for destruction by the N. P. Tho result in Napanee is, that all the factories heretofore existing are in a prosper- ous conditien. And Mr. Hi. Lanxon has opened a new one in the large building on the east corner of Dundas and Adelphi streets. The farmers will benefit by the increased competition.” ‘This does not confirm the Qlobe’s dolorous statement in regard to this industry.

The Napanee Standard chronicles the open- ing of a new hydraulic cement manufactory in that town—a direct result of the National Policy. A cooperage has been established in connection with the works, w hich will also turn out land plaster ina short time. For- merly, American cement Was imported and the entire cost was money sent out ol the country.

Notice is given of the incorporation of ‘the St. Lawrence Sugar Refinery Company, Lim- ited,’ with capital of $400,000, for the purpose of refining sugar and the manufacture of syrups.

Letters of incorporation have been granted to the Tilsonburg Beet Root Sugar Company, who propose to carry on the manufacture of the saccharine article from the sugar beet, with a capital of $50,000 in shares of $50 each.

The new tariff has had a highly beneficial effect on trade between British Columbia and the other Provinces. A telegram says that the last steamer to Victoria had its cargo made up chiefly of Canadian goods, whereas the bulk ef it formerly was of United States manufacture.

Methodist Conference.

tev. H. Pickard, D. D., Treasurer of the Supernumery Fund, presented his re- port which showed the Fund to be in a very flourishing condition. Income from the three Eastern Conferences had been $7,822, expenditure $6,3253—leaving nearly $1,500 to be added to the capital stock, which now amounts to $65,000. During the last eight years ever $14,000 had been added to the capital stock. A resolution expressing pleasure at the satisfactory state of the Fund was most unanimously passed.

ORDINATION SERVICES.

The church was crowded. For two hours and a half the interest was kept up. Eight ministers, whose names we have al-

ready published, were set apart by the imposition of hands. Revs. H. McKeown, President, F. W. Harrison,

Secretary , H. P. Cewperwaithe, A. M., Journal Secretary, Dr. Pickard, Dr. Stew- art, J. Hart, ex-President, 8. T. Teed, R. Duncan and others, taking part in the laying on of hands. Dr. Sutherland de- livered the charge, which was a masterly defence of Methodism, both of its policy and doctrines. All pronounced it unique in its excellences. We are sure that it will not soon be fergutten. Every public ap- pearance by the the Doctor seems to have raised him in the esteem of the brethern, until they begin to think that there are no offices in the Church which he could not ‘fill with the utmost dignity and satisfaction to all concerned.

ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN,

This was quite spirited, but almost unani- mous in every case. The President is ex officio Chairman of the St. Jehn District. He nominated, as the Secretary, R. W. Weddall, A. B., which the Conference readily endorsed. Out of 55 votes cast for Chairman of the Fredericton District, Rev. E. Evans obtained 55. The Conference accepted, on his nominatien, the Rev. W. W. Colpitts, B. S., as Financial Secretary. For Sackville District, Rev. D. Chapman was elected, but, when he declined, Rev. R. Duncan was elected almost unanimously. He neminated Rev. F. Marshall for Secre- |

tary, which the Conference accepted. Rey. |

S. T. Teed received 51 votes for Miramichi District—the next highest receiving 7. Rey. J. N. Parker-was elected Secretary. Three names—Fred. W. Harrison, H. Sprague and Geo. Harrisen—received, at the first vote, a considerable following for the Chairmanship of the St. Stephen Dis- trict. A second vote placed Rev. Fred. W. Harrison in the chair by a geod majer- ity. His nomination of Rey. C. W. Dutcher, as Secretary, was readily accepted by the Conference. A large majority placed the Rev. H. P. Cowperthwaite, A.M., in the chair for the P. E. Island District. He nominated Rev. F. J. Dein- stadt as Secretary, of which the Conference approved. THANKS.

Dr. Sutherland and Rey. J. Shaw were thanked for their presence and help at the Conference sessions. A unanimous vote of confidence was passed inthe Missionary Secretary. Ex-President Hart was heartily accorded a well earned vote of thanks for the ability and fidelity which had charac- terized his year of oftice. Mayor Dawson and his lady’s kindness in inviting the Con-

invitation was accepted by nearly all the members of the Conference, and several of their wives—was acknowledged by a hearty voteofthanks. Several ministers spoke of the pleasure such a reunion had afforded. Six- teen years ago the Conference accepted a similar invitation from Mr. Dawson. On both occasions most of the Ministers in- scribed their names in an autograph album. Charlottetown friends were thanked for their kindness in so comfertably and hospitably entertaining the Conference during its sittings, as well as the ministers of the circuit for making such admirable arrangements. Rey. C. H. Paisley, A. M., late Secretary, was thanked fcr his efficient services. The Assistant Secretaries—- Messrs. T. Marshall, R. W. Weddall, and H. R.

Baker—-were thanked for the manner in

which they had discharged their dutics. The Journal Secretary--Rev. H. P. Cow- perthwaite, A. M., was thanked fcr the efficient way in which he had performed his duties.

SACKVILLE INSTITUTIONS.

President Inch spoke of the crowded state of the College, and the necessity for a new College building. Last year a larger class were graduated than in any former year. It was a class of which they were preud. Seventy-five students had been in attendance.

Dr. Kennedy, Principal of the Ladies Academy, said that the attendance had been 76. The musical department was im avery high state of efficiency.

Rev. C. H. Paisely, A. M., Principal- elect of the Boys Academy, claimed the sympathy and suppert of the preachers for himself, and on behalf of the department over which he was called te preside.

Dr. Stewart, Theological Professor, said that the Institutions did not belong to the Professors, but to the ministers and people generally. He had been highly pleased with the yeung men under his charge.

SPIRITUAL CONDITION.

The greater part of one evening was de- voted te the consideration of the state of the work of God. A profitable discussion followed, participated in by Messrs. Dr. Pickard, Smallwood, Colpitts and Johnson.

ELECTIONS. :

Rev. R. Duncan was elected to the Cen- tral Missionary Board. Rey. Robert Wilson was elected te be corresponding Secretary of the Sabbath School Committee. Rey. E. Evans was elected Financial Sec- retary of the Cenference. Rev. H. Daniel, the oldest and one of the most dilligent members of the Conference, was elected to to the Transfer Committee.

CLOSING “OF THE_CONFERENCE,

The Conference has been long but very harmonious. Ifthe reins had- been held sometimes with a firmer grasp, business might oftenhave,been expedited. President McKeewn is stronger in the pulpit than in the Presidential Chair. Before the close, he addressed some timely remarks to the brethren, urging theni to renewed fidelity to God, and increased zeal in their work. A hymn was sung and prayer effered by Revs. H. Daniel and F. Smallwood. Con- ference adjourned till the fourth Wednes- day in June, 1880 to meet in the ‘city of St. John.
