By the letter of ‘A Tenant of Lot 48” it appears that there are farmers yet remain- ing who are suffering from the evils of the leasehold system—aggravated by direct taxes, bad markets and hard times.

Specie Payments in the United Statos.

Secretary SHERMAN has decided to an- nounce the resumption of specie payments in advance of the Ist of January next, the time fixed by law. He says, however, that resumption may come before that time by natural causes, or when the premium on specie shall disappear.

The coin balance in the United States treasury is now about $200,000,000, which may be considered certainly available for the resumption of specie payments at the date fixed. That balance has been steadily increasing, and as there is no idea that it will fall below its present figure, the fact taken in connection with the present low premium on gold forms the basis of the general anticipation here that resumption will occur even before the Ist January.

Fair and Unfair Play. .

TRE Patriot publishes the “‘ cooked ” re- port of Mr. Perry’s paritizan secretary, and remarks :—

‘* After reading the Secretary’s report of the Tignish meeting, the public will know

what faith to put in the Lxaminer’s reports of public meetings.”

Now, we assert that the report of Tur EXAMINER is as nearly correct as ‘it was possible for anyone to make it. And we assert that the secretary’s report is as wide of the truth as it could be made. The secretary's report has not a word about either of the verbal motions made, or either of the written resolutions submitted. It has not one word to say about the division on those resolutions, after the chairman told those in favor of Howatt and Hackett to go to the left and those in favor of Yeo and Perry to go to the right. It has not one word about the enthusiastic mass of electors who went to the left, or the one or two dozen chopfallen Grits who shuffled to the right-hand corner of the spacious hall. These important omissions indicate what a rage of defamation and audacity of falsehood possessed the partizan secretary when he wrote his report.

Incidental Protection— Gladstone's Opinion.

AppraL. after appeal has been made to the present Grit Administration to devise some means of meeting the United States’ system of drawbacks on refined sugars which has ruined the refinery industry in Montreal and elsewhere, threwing hundreds of men out of employment and ‘diverting the West India trade of Halifax and Mon- treal to New York. Instead of taking action to meet the case, the Government have practiced a masterly inactivity, per- fectly content to draw their salaries while the whole manufacturing industries of the country go to ruin around them.

The same difiiculty respecting sugar bounties exists at the present time in Eng- land; and the refiners there are calling the attention of the Government to their case. The following letter from Hon. W. E. Gladstone endorses fully the position taken by the Liberal-Conservative party, that ex- ceptional legislation by a country to des- troy Canadian trade, will warrant excep- tional legislation in its defence :—

“Foreign Sucar Bounries.—A deputation is to wait upon the Chancellor of the Exche- quer on TLarsday next, on the subject of the foreign bounty system. The secretary of the committee has received the following from Mr. Gladstone: ‘‘Sir,—I write a line, under great pressure, to acknowledge your commu- nication.

lf, as I understand, the the circum | stances of the case continue unaltered, I taink | : that both the trader and the workman en- to make times better.

the British consumer should have sugar and every other commodity at the lowest price at which it can be produced without arbitrary favor to any of those engaged i the competi- tion. But I cannot regard with favor any cheapness which is produced by means of the concealed subsidies of a foreign State to a particular industry, ancl with the effect of crippling and distressing capitalists and work- men engaged in a lawtul branch of British trade.—Your faithful servant, W. E. Giap- sronr.”---London Times. -<4p>°?*

“The Twelfth.”

In St. Patrick’s Church, Montreal, the Rev. Father Dowd made the following al- lusion to the twelfth of July :—

‘My brethren, you are no doubt preoc- cupied with the anxities that unhappily attach to the 12th, which is now near at hand. As the regularly constituted autho- rities of the city have taken action, and have fully assumed the responsibility of preserving peace in our midst, 1 have, as your pastor, but one word of earnest ad- vice to give you. Offer your fervent pray- ers each day to the God of peace, that He

charity in our city, and banish from it for ever the demon of discord, of strife, and of hatred. Let each one be an upholder of the law, and a defender of holy peace ; and for that purpose, if called upon be ready to place yourselves at the disposal of the city authorities, who are thenatural and duly constituted guardians of the interests of our city. One word more: I ask you, in the name of God, not to taste one drop of any kind of intoxicating drink on the 12th, and I venture to request those who sell drink to keep their houses closed on that occasion.”,

Ye understand that similar remarks

were made in all the Roman Catholic Churches. — ¢Ge ie

Unfair Tariff.

A An

We find the following letter from Mr. Lithgow in the Hamilton “@imes—a journal supporting the present iniquitous tariff :— T'o the Editor of the Hamilton Times :—

Srr—!I happened to see ‘Momus’ ” note in your issue of the 7th ult, asking, ‘‘Upon what class of goods do they (the National Policyists) propose toa decrease of tariff?’ In reply 1 say that, judging from the utterances of National Policy Senators and M. P.s on the floors of Parliament, a decrease of duties on articles largely used by the poor and middle classes is proposed. ‘he duty on spirits is enormous: say on West India rum about 350 per ewt. ad val. On American tobacco it is also entirely too high, say 263c. on a pound of tobacco costing 12e., equal to 214 per cent. On West India grocery sugar it is equal to 55 per cent., on first cost aud dutiable charges, besides 25 per cent. on the package, which costs very high, say $5 for a Cuba hogshead, thus taxing a packago $2 that is worth- less. On rice the duty is 1 cent per lb, equal to 40 per cent. on the cost in England. On common black tea it is about

HANLAN’S ARRIVAL IN BOAT ORDERED FOR ROSS NOT

;

st. JoOHN—

EDWARD THE ENGLISH YET HERE. Fully two thousand persens were gathered |

together on Reed’s Point wharf and vicinity | when the International steamer, with Edward | Hanlan and party on board, steamed up ts the } harbor shortly after five o'clock yesterday afternoon. Before the boat had been made fast Hanlan, who stood on the deck, clad in brown waterproof overcoat and Derby hat, was recognized by some acquaintances and pointed out to the crowd. As he stepped down the gangway, in response to their cheers, Hanlan removed his hat and bowed gracefully to the assemblage ; then moving quickly forward, he with some little difliculty was shown into the carriage in waiting and,was driven off almost before it became generally known that he was ashore. He was taken to the Hotel Dufferin, in front of which a crowd gathered and re- mained for two hours or more. About half- past seven the Toronto oarsman and _ his friends took carriages and drove out the road a short distance. On their return they visited the Mechanics Institute. As they passed down to their seats there was an outburst of applause from the audience, which was so loud and prolonged as to cause a momentary check to the play. After remaining a short time they took their departure. It is expected that Hanlan will go into quarters at once and begin practice, as his boats are here. His appearance on the streets created an impression that was at once favorable to him. He is of medium height, the picture of health, and of prepossessing appearance. Those who have not had an opportunity of seeing him in the past were surprised to see so young a mau, who would hardly be taken for an oarsman as he has very fair features, but that he is a scul- ler has been fully demonstrated. Several of our boating men, including representatives of toss, paid a visit to him on his arrival.

The St. John oarsman has been for weeks in training, and for the past month has had the assistance of his brother Edward at his quar- ters. There isno word yet of his English boat, and fears are now entertained that it will not arrive in time for the contest. Should this prove true, in all likelihood an attempt will be made to secure one from Warren Smith of Halifax, for the race.

Preparations have already commenced in the way of providing facilities to witness the match. The steamer May Queen has been chartered, and is to leave Indiantown on the morning of the race. She will proceed to the course, and there remain until the struggle is over. Should there be a postponement the same ticket will be good by the steamer /awn. There will probably be a judge’s steamer as in the past, but this has not yet been decided upon,—St. Join Telegraph.

GREAT INDIAN BATTLE.

The United States Troops Defeated —Gen Sperry’s Command of 500 Annihilated, and the Cenera! him- self Killed.

PortLannd, Oregon, July 8—p. m. The following has been received from N, B. Sinnot, dated the 9th :—‘‘ Stages from

3) per cent., say five cents on what costs about seventeen cents. On petroleum six cents per wine gallon is equal to 40 to 50 per cent., ac cording to quality. On molasses, largely used in the Lower Provinces, the duty is equal to about 35 per cent., being 25 per cent. on mo- lasses, charges and package ; the latter cost- ing about 5} cents per gallon, gross guage. All these articles are disproportionately taxed, compared with the luxuries of the rich. Look at the following list: Rum, 359 p. c. ad. val. (1.40 per wine galion on liquor 40 p. c. over proof costing 40 cents); tobacco, 214 p. ¢. ; West India grocery sugar, 55 p. c.; crushed sugar, 40 p. ¢.; rice, 40 p. c.; tea, no matter how low its cost, 5 cents per lb.; petroleum, say 40 p. c.; molasses, 35 p.c. (20 p. c. on she molasses, and about 14 cent per gal. on the package) ; silks, satins, velvets, jewelry, orna- ments, millinery, chinaand hundreds of rich peo- ples luxuries pay only 174 p. ec. Hven choice wines, which cost $3.50 to $5 per gal. pay only 60 cents per gal., equal to 12 to 174 p.c.— not one quarter the average duty on the poor man’s beer, sugar, rice, petroleum, molasses and tea. Then, again, his tobacco pays about five times as much duty as good cigars. All this is the fruit of specific duties and the ig- norance of the working and middle classes, who know little or nothing of the tariff, and have no one to look after their rights. A judicious and just readjustment of the present tariff—protective to the rich—but op- pressive to the poor—would raise the 174 per cent., and decrease the duties 1 have referred to. My idea is to equalize the duties on im- ports so that all classes would be treated alike. Abolish all excise duties and so give the country a square revenue tariff, with true incidental protection. ‘So I interpret the Na- tional Policy. Yours respectfully,

J. R. Lrrucow.

The style of defence of the Times may be judged from one sentence—‘‘ The duty on tea, is of course, justifiable only on revenue grounds; as is also the duty on sugar and molasses.”

That is, says the Halifax Reporter, it is perfectly right, according to the opponents of Protection to Canadian industry, to make the ‘‘bone and sinew” pay 30 cents duty on every dollar’s worth of tea they use, while those who can afford to buy the choicest kinds of tea have to pay only 10 cents. It is _per- | fectly right to make the consumer of kero- sene pay 40 cents duty on a dollar’s worth, while those who use velvets and such like

An Umatlla courier from Pendleton, on the 7th, brings the following to Goy. Chad- wick :—We arein great danger here from the Indians. Our troops that went to the front from here, 500 strong, were attacked to-day at Willard Springs, and from those who got in, they must be over half if not two-thirds killed. Of those who are in, three are wounded, and they report several others wounded before they got out. We have about three hundred men here,and not one-half armed.

Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world we live in Nature gives us grandeur of mountains, glens and oceans, and thousands of means for enjoyment. We can desire no better when in perfect health ; but how often do the majority of people feel like giving it up disheartened, discouraged and worried out with disease, when there is no occasion for this feeling, as every sufferer can easily ob- tain satisfactory proof that Green’s August Flower will make them as free from disease as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver Com- plaint are the direct cause of seventy-five per cent. of such maladies as Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nervous Prostration, Dizziness of the Head, Palpitation of the Heart, and other distress- ing symptoms.
