Canadian Goods.

The St. Croix Courier, published just on | the border, makes the following state- ‘ments in reference to its personal. obser- ‘vations of the working of the new tariff :—

Canadian flour can now be delivered in ‘St. Stephen at one dollar a barrel cheaper than American flour of equal grade can be delivered in Calais.

Our merchants can bring flour here and deliver it in Calais, paying the U. S. duty of one dollar a barrel, as cheaply as the Calais merchants can import it from Boston or New York.

Canadian woolen goods are both better and cheaper than can be imported from the States.

Tweeds, and certain lines of flannel made in Canada are cheaper and better than those manufactured in the United States.

A good article of Canadian woolen yarn can be bought cheaper than in the United States.

Canadians produce better value in ladies’ clouds than Americans.

‘ Gentlemen’s underclothing of Canadian manufacture is as good and 25 per cent. cheaper than American.

Canadian cottons are already very nearly up to the American standard, and are fast approaching American cottons for cheap ness.

Let this enumeration siflice for to-day. There is scarcely any article of manufac- ture we import which cannot as well be produced in Canada, as to price competition will Yegulate that. The National Pelicy cannot possibly, does not actually, increase the cost of living —and that is what troubles the Grits.

Afghan Treasure. The Pall Mall Gazette asserts that the buried treasure of Yakeob Khan, recently recovered at Cabul, was all in Russian gold, and that some of the Afghan regulars were dressed in Russian uniforms, whieh in many eases had the Russian eagle on the buttons. Yakoob pretended that he had plundered seveuty lacs of rupees from the mother of Abdulla Jan, Shere Ali’s favorite son, and offered to surrender them. A party of sol- diers were accordingly seut to dig them up, Right locks of treasure were found in gold, There was also a mine of gold coin in bags and bexes, with rich silks, brocades and precious stones. Experts asserted that the value of all this property could npt be less than eighty lacs. Many other boxes were left unopened and put in charge of Major Moriarty, the officer in charge of the treas- ure-chest, and of Lieutenant Neville Cham- berlain, Assistant Political Officer, and by them transferred to General Roberts. It was one of the richest prizes ever found by a Victorious army in India. It was also the more acceptable to the British, as their
