THE WAR.

THE RUSSIAN ULTIMATUM AUSTRIA'S DISPOSITION.

[From the Patriot. | CONSTANTINOPLE, April 3.

Russia’s demands on Turkey, which may be regarded as an ultimatum, are the aban- donment to the Russians of fortifications on both sides of the Upper Bosphorus, as well as Gallipoli and Boulan on the Darda- nelles.

The Turks are also to evacuate Makreke- ni and Ninluki, and are to place some bar- racks and hospitals at the disposal of the Russians.

It is reported that the Servians, by the command of Russia, will shortly occupy Widdin and Adakalich.

Austria is considered likely to protest against the occupation of Lettur.

The feeling in Servian Government circles inclines to Austria rather than to Russia, and they have even gone so far as to express their willingness #0 make military connec- tion with the former.

The demands will be submitted to the Council, and it is said that the Sultan and Vejik Pasha will oppose them.

Vienna, April 3.

A despateh from the Austrian Ambas- sador at London says that Lord Beacons- field and the Earl of Salisbury earnestly de- sire the maintenance of peace, but if the at- titude of Russia should render a war neces- sary, it would be carried on until resistance was crushed.

News from St. Petersburg as to the result of Ignatieff’s mission here, which will, to a great extent, settle the question of peace or war, is hourly expected.

The Earl of Salisbury’s circular has in- creased the friendly disposition here to- wards England.

House of Assembly.

Wepnespay, April 3. Several Pills vassed a thd and the House resolved itself into Com- mittee of Supply. A vigorous effort was made by the Oppositien and Independents to reduce the salaries of some of the officials. But as the salaries are fixed by Statute, and as the Statute had not been amended be- fore going into Supply, the efforts were, of course, useless. Progress was reperted, and the House adjourned at six o’clock.

- 4p —- i The Issue Between the two Parties.

7 tal . A ie Las ;

(From the Monetary Times. )

The question of policy would have arisen, if a revision of the tariff had been under- taken, and it is now obvious to every one it gught to have been. And even then, revenue should have been the first eonsid- eration. But that would not necessarily have precluded the further consideration whether there were not reasons for giving the tariff a national complexion. The issue between the two political parties, to which this question gives rise, is narrowed down to a very small point. During the debate, Dr. Tupper said : ‘‘What we ask is not in- crease of taxation, but a readjustment of taxation.” That is, they do not seek taxa- tion for any other purpose than to meet the requirements of the revenue ; but in any case, they would readjust the tariff. The importance of this averment would be greatly increased, if we could be certain that Dr. Tupper had here given an autho- rized interpretation of the resolutions re- cently passed at the Conservative conven- tion and quoted by Mr. Cartwright in his budget speech. On his part, Mr. Cart- wright undertook to define the position of the Government; a position, in which, he said they were prepared *‘ to fight to the death.” Here is his formula: ‘* That all taxation, disguised, is a loss per se; that it is the duty, the sacred duty of the Government to take from the peeple only what is necessary to the proper discharge (maintenance) of the public service, and taxation in any other mode is simply, in one shape or other, legalized robbery.” This is a plain declaration that, in forming a tariff, revenue ought to be the sole con- sideration, and that no other element is to be brought into the account. Neither party, according to these declarations, is pro- tectionist; buth would in England be called Free Traders, but free traders with a dif- ference. It is surprising how the nomencla- ture was confused during the debate. The removal of duties from raw material is call- ed free trade, in England, where the term protectionist long since became odious ; here Dr. Tupper calls the same operation protection of the manufacturer.
