Tie DaILy EX MINER,

JUNE 12, 1875.

The Dead-Lock in Quebec.

Jory has experienced one fall; and he is

now battling Wil

his Government aml the’

ent for the itie ol m2

triumph of Constitutional outrage. He can

only be vV! i we hope the Cnrebee Legislature des not contain another Tur(n)cotte.

It is now evident that the reports of our Montreal. Telegraphic Correspondent re- specting the result of the elections in Que- bec were quite correct; and it has been demonstrated that the claims of the Patriot to a majority five or six for the Rouges were—false.

“+o.

Incidence of the Tari.

Peruars the best answer to the never- . gtk) pig] ceasing iiisrepresentation of the Pat iff sion by the Petriot is the Resolution vestion Dy tie submitted by Sir John McDonald during the recent session of Parliament; for Sir John Melonald’s Policy is embodied in 1b. Sir John moved,

“That this Horse is of opinion that the wel- fare of Canada requires the adoption of a Na- tional Policy, which, by @ judicious re -adjust- ment of the tariff, will benefit and foster the Agricultural, the Muning, the Manuiacturing and other iuterests ef the Dominion; that such: a policy will retain in Canada thousands of our fellow-countrymen, now obliged to expatriate themselves in search of the employment denied them at home; will restore prosperity to onr

straggling industries. now so sadly depressed;

will prevent Canada from being made a sacri fice market; will encourage and develop au active inter-pro\ incial trade, and moving (as it ought to do) in the direction of a reciprocity ot tariffs with our neighbors, so faras the vari interests of Canada may demand, will qreathy tend to procure for this country, eventually, a reciprociy of trade.”

The italics are ovr.

It suits the Petriet to declare that in this resolution “ a policy of Protection for Pro- tection sake” is laid down; and it does so,

On the other hand, it suits the Toronto Globe to maintain that ‘*‘ Mr. Pope, the champion Free Trader, might safely vote for it, and boast himself, with perfect consistency, the ‘‘ Champion Free Trade,

still.” And it does so.

But to honest, intelligent men who know that a very large measure of ‘ encourage- ment” may be given to a!l National Indus- tries, through the Incidence of the Tariff, without taxing the people any more heavily than the carrying on of the Public Service makes absolutely necessary Sir John’s reso- lution is perfectly intelligible and clear. Sir Jghn wants to make the “judicious re- adjustment” of the tariff which everyone not blinded by party prejudice sees is neces saty—if the country is to prosper.

THe Monetary Times is read in the Premier’s speech at Toronto “that Canada imports no more goods than shecan pay for.” The Monetary Times re- marks that “‘the bankruptcies certainly tell a very different story.” Mr. John McDon- ald; the Ministerial candidate for Toronto Centre, also ‘‘tells a different story.” Mr. McDonald holds that ‘over-importation ” is the cause of the failure of Canadians to pay their debts—is the cause of the hard

Let those who think it aclever trick to run 2 torpedo boat towards a British iron- clad take care that they themselves are not in the boat when she takes her dangerous journey. Case-shot is now being prepared for the express purpose of welcoming torpe- do boats, and its description is thus given : Each case is three feet in length, and con- tains 840 balls of 8 ounces each. ‘The case being of thin sheet iron is broken up by the shock of discharge, and the eight hundred odd balls come like a shower on the target aimed at. This is for use on board the heavier iron-clads; for the protection of smaller vessels, lighter charges are deemed gufticient.

A Frenchman was in Ottawa, the other day having with him a quantity of gold in nuggets which he was eudeavoring to sell. When questioned as to where he got it, he said in the Gatineau district, above the Vic- toria farm. ‘The exact locality he refused to tell. It was evident that most of the gold had been washed down some stream, although one piece appeared as though it had been broken from the rock. Gold has several times before been found in the same vicinity.

No Administrator ever left Canada with such kindly associations as Lord Dufferin, and his name will ever remain associated in our history with those brilliant and happy traits of public and social life which popularly and justly gather about the name Oi a

TRUE IRISH GENTLEMAN,

The arrangements made for the accom wiodation and comfort of his distinguished guests aboard the Peerless were of the most complete character and left nothing to be desired. The experience, forethought and vood taste displayed by Captain Bowie in these matters are worthy of particular men- tion, and we are sure that, under his com- mand, the Peerless made their Excellencies’ departure from the Capital as pleasant as such a regretable event could be. We wish them a happy future, and hope whoever may succeed will emulate the Ulustrious ex- ample set by Lord Duferin as a constitu- tional and social representative of royalty.

Election Probabilities.

The Halifax Reporter, some time ago, very properly remarked that, one thing ,is clear: the more the Grit chieftains study the situation, the less they like it. The more they leap into the current of publie sentiment, the colder it seems to them.

A few weeks ago, in the first flush of a mistaken announcement, they were ready t> plunge in at once. Now they. stand shivering on the brink—afraid to jump. The Governmeng hesitate to trust the peo- ple. They put contidence in their old friend —Time. . They see an angry people suiti- eiently educated to know the between a provincial and a goneral govern- ment quite well able to deal with corrap- tion, whether it develop itselé in .a De- Boucherville ministry ruling over a_pvro- vince, or ina ie Government ruin- ing a whole Dominion. They see a popuia- tion exasperated with the way in which all departments of the public service have been successively ov sitaultaneously seized upon ler” hon-

ing in corruption, and dancing and piping while distress covers the land, and the na- tion becomes a nation of bankrupts.

To the gloomy outlook, to make thein de- sirous of putting off the evil day, is added the fact that they love the “flesh pots of Egypt—the fat salaries, the opportunities for Governcrships. Judgeships, and a‘l the other good things which the Grit heart springeth to appropriate, as Brown did a Senatorship, as Dorion did'a Chief Justice- ship, as Cauchon and Leteilier and McDon- ald and Laird did Governorships. it ‘s an object with these men to hafig on to power. No wonder then that looking ont on an angry sea before them, and reflecting upon the good things they now enjoy—-no wonder then that they hesitate, are afraid, an? no longer clamor hypocritically for an immedi- ate dissolution. ‘‘ Mum’s the word” ‘now. It is better to hold what we have while we ean than run the great risk of losing every- thing—salaries and all. That is the decision of the party, and therefore no more about the elections at present.

night. These facts that a change adverse to Mr. Joly’s hopes had taken place in the voting force on his side—that is, in fact, that Price, the Con- servative, had resolved to vote with the Conservatives in the next trial of strength. Meanwhile, the storm of obloquy direct- ed against Speaker Turcotte rages with un- bated violence, The letter addressed to him by nearly eight hundred electors, more than one-half the whole number or his con- stituents entitled to vote, is going the ‘round of the French papers. [It was wvit- ten. because it was rumored that the Speak- ership had been offered to Mr, ‘Turcotte, and after setting forth that he was elected because by public speech and published let- ter he had placed himself in opposition to the Joly Government, that nothing had since occurred to change the attitude of parties, that the fact of the offer was proof that the Government had not a majority, that the offer was muimoral; that no Conser- vative could properly recognize the legi- timacy of the Government until, in’ the regular course of things, a majority pro- nounced upon the constitutional question in the Assembly, that the opinion of the country could only be given by such a ma- jority, that in becoming the Government candidate and voting in its favor he would misrepresent the views of his coustituents. and, that, therefore, if inclined to accept the offer tendered, they ask him to resign his seat. The situation is a perpiexing one. The proper remedy would seem to be an honestly formed Colition Government.
