EXAMINER.

THe Datty EXAMINER.

A YEAR and a half have roiled away ; and the Datry Examiner still lives.

Indeed it may now be truly said that the Dairy ExaMINeER is one of the ‘ institu- tions” of the Province.

An appetite for a daily paper has been formed; and, judging by the increasing sales of the Dairy Examiner in the city, along | the line of railway, aud in the various towns | throughout the Province, it is doubtful if , the people could live without their daily paper.

Hard though the times and dark the pros- pect of the coming winter, it 1s our inten- |tion to continue the publication of the Datry Examiner, so that the popular de- mand may be supplied.

Throughout the winter we intend to sup- ply to the public, by means of the Datiy EXAMINER, a daily telegra:n containing news of all the notable events which shall tran- spire throughout the world in_ this great crisis of its history.

Through the Dairy Examiner the people of the Island shall—-from day to day—and, independently of the Northern Light or Muttart and Irving—be informed of what is transpiring in Afghanistan, in Russia, in Germany, in the neighboring Republic, and most important of all—in the mother country.

We shall, if possible, send a special cor- respondent to report for the Datty Examt- NER the Parliamentary proceedings at Ottawa, with special reference to those which most directly and most deeply inter- est the people of this Island.

The local news shall be given through the DarLty ExaMINeR promptly,‘truly and as full as possible.

For the large means required to carry out this work we look to the people whose wants the Dartry Examrver will supply, and whose varied interests we shall assidu- ously endeavor to promote.

The original subscribers of the Datry EXAMINER will, in the course of a few days, be called upon for a renewal of their favors.

The beginning of another term is a good time to subscribe ; and persons who have not hitherto taken the Damy ExaminEr would do well to subscribe now.

In connection with the Dairy ExaMIyER. the Werxty Examiner will be issued, at | the unprecedentedly low subscription price of ONE DOLLAR a year—payment to be made in advance.

Proposed U. 8S. Tariff Changes.

- It is stated that the Secretary of the

_| requiring the ainount, date and nationality | Treasury, in his forthcoming annual report pred of the coins in the custody of all the Ex- will recomniend that changes be made in

the existing tariff to the following extent : First, complete abolition of the present

’ »! method of testing sugar, and the setting up and the results appear in the Bulletin de | instead of only two grades, to be determin-

| Stattisgre. They are very interesting, and ;ed by a combined color «and polariscope

by the people of France must be considered iserviceable, otherwise so much trouble would not be taken in the matter. The following indicates what was effected by the count :— : ‘There were 2,222,955 coins counted. | Of them, 678,000 were 20f. pieces, 331,000 were 10f. pieces, and 1,215,000 were 5f. silver pieces. Many foreign 10f. pieces do not appear to find their way imte France, for of them there were only 2 per cent. Of the foreign 20. pieces, 65.7 per cent. were Belyian, 29.4 per cent. were Italian, 4 per cent. were Austro-Hungarian, 8 per cent. were Greek, and 1 per cent. were Swiss. Oi the 5f. pieces, 49.4 per cent. were Ital- ian, and 48 per cent. were Belgian. Thus, there is a much larger proportion of 5f. pieces than of 20f. pieces in France bearing the Italian stamp. Throughout the south- eastern quarter of France there were over 20 per cent. Italian coins counted, and throughout the north-east there was about the same proportion of Belgian coins. There are several departments in which the foreign exceed the French, such as Alpes- Maritimes, Doubs, Isere, Jura, Rhone and Haute-Savoie. In the department of the Seine, against 27,000 French 5f. pieces, there were 14,500 foreign. Of the latter, 8,700 were Belgian and 5,400 were Italian. Again, of the 388,000 foreign 5f. pieces counted in all, there wore 185,000 Belgian and 191,990 Italian. Thus it positively seems as if the process of trade between countries adinitting each other’s coin as legal medium tends to their wandering abroad, and mutually displacing each other. There may, howaver, be cther reasona for the curious state of things in some of the departinents above mentioned.

The Balance of Trade in British Commerce.

The British people do not easily take fright or the balance of trade question. They understand that in certain cases a bal- ance of trade against them may indicate a prosperous condition, and in others furnish no cause for alarm. But just now the heary balance against them creates uneasi- ness. It appears that the British exports for ten months recently ended amounted to £162,182,009, showing a decrease of £3,- 856,000 on the corresponding ten months of last year. The imports for the same period footed up £315,293,000, proving a decrease on the imports of the corresponding months of last year £15,897,010. The net differ- ence between the exports and imports for the recent period referred to, after allowing for re-exports, shows that the balance of trade against England at the close was about £100,000,000. This balance will, to a large extent, be met by the interest ac- cruing on British investments abroad.. But as those investments are not as large as they were and less productive than they used to be, it is feared that a portion of the balance will have to be covered by exports of gold, the sending abroad of which will injurionsly affect trade at home by making money scarce and dearer. It thus seems that it has become a matter of serious importance to the British people that the disturbed bal- ance should be redressed either by a dim- inution of imports or an increase of exports or both. —St. John Sun.

A Railroad Temperance Lecture.

(From the Burlington Hawkeye.

‘* Twenty years ago,” said the passenger with the red ribbon in his buttonhole, ‘* I knew that man whom you saw get off at the last station. He was a young man of rare promise, a college graduate, a man of brilliant intellect and shrewd mercantile ability. Life dawned before him im all the glowing colours of fair promise. He had some money when he left college. He invested it in business and his business prospered. He married a beautiful young lady who bore him three lovely chil- dren--”

he sad looking passenger sitting on the wood box : ** All at one time ?”

The red ribbon passenger: ‘* No, in bi- ennial installments of one. No ane dream- ed that the poorhouse would ever be their home. But in an evil hour the young man yielded to the tempter. He began to drink beer. He liked it and drank more. He drank and encouraged others to drink. That was only 14 years ago, and he wasa prosperous, wealthy man. To-day where is he #”

The clergymen in the front seat solemnly: ** A sot and a beggar.”

The red ribben man, disconsolately : ‘Oh, no; he is a member of Congress and owns a brewery worth $50,000.”

Sometimes it will happen that way.

RerprRtne to the loan negotiated by Mr. Tilley, the Monetary Times says: ‘‘ The actual loan shows that Canadian credit stands high, as half the amount rests on the unbacked responsibility of thiscountry. The times were not favorable for floating a new loan, as further financial difficulties were at the moment ap-

rehended, and an instalment on an Egyptian oan which had been paid caused some pressure

on the money market.”’

test. With only two grades, however, wide apart from another, and therefore com- pletely differentiated in themselves, the ne- cessity for a polariscope test is scarcely ap parent. Second, to allow no fares for dam- aged goods. This will work well and pre- vent frauds, except in the single case of foreign fruits, where the damage cannot be estimated in advance, nor insured against with any certainity. Third, to tax dress silk according to weight, in order to force French manufacturers to send more silk and less guin in their exports of this article to us. Fourth, to dispense with ad-valorem duties on gloves, and to fix specific duties corresponding to the material, size, num- ber of buttons, and so forth. The last proposed amendment is undoubtedly sug- gested by the experience of the Govern- ment in the long contest with firms in try- ing to establish by appraisement a diflerent value for kid gloves from that at which they were invoiced. It is virtually a confession on the part of the treasury department of the insecurity and inadequacy of ad-valorem duties-—a confession which was made a year or two ago in the matter of still wines.— N.Y.

We learn from a Western exchange that Mr. Bunting, M. P. for Weiland, the prop- rietor of the Afail, has announced his in- tention of meving, at the next session of Parliament, for the appointment of a Com- mission to enquire into the alleged inter- ferences by public officers in the late elec- tions. We should judge that there would be abundant work fer such a Commission to attend to, and a little healthy exposure of what the Libera!-Conservative party had to contend with, in the way of official interfer- ence at the last election, would be a fitting reply to the Opposition howl about Ameri canizing our institutions. We hope Mr. Bunting will proceed in the matter, and we trust that several Maritime Province cases will receive due attention.

Estate or Napo.ron Ili.—The Civil Tri- bunal of the Seine commenced recently the hearing of the suit for some time past pending, brought by the heirs of Napoleon III. against the Government to recover property belong- ing to the private domain of the late Em- peror. After the revolution of September, 1870, the Provisional Government seques- trated the private property of the Emperor, and charged a commission with the liquida- tion of the old civil list. M. Rouher repre sentedfthe Imperial family, and in 1873 a con- vention was dfawn up, and was ratified by a decree of the President of the Republic and the Ministers. It was, however, mever car- ried out, and this arrangement it is that forme the ground of the present action. The con- cerns principally the collection known as the Chinese Museum, now atthe Palace of Fon-

tainbleau, and which is claimed by the Em: °

press as her personal property; the Emperor's cabinet of arms, formerly at Pierrefonds, and now in the Louvre; articles manufactured at Sevres, the Gobelins, and at Beauvais, estab lishments supported by the civil list; and furniture belonging to the private domain valued at $2,300,000, subject to certain deduc- tions. The convention accepted by the Gov- ernment was subsequently repudiated by the Assembly, and in 1875 the Minister of Puk? lic Works offered in place of the first settle? ment a sum of $895,000. The representatives of the Imperial family refused to suomit to that arbitrary estimate, and brought the pres. ent action to enforce the execution of the original arrangement. M, Grandperret now opens the case on behalf of the Empress Eugenie and the Imperial Prince.

Tue latest rumor afloat is that Mr. Lewis Carvell is to be superannuated, and that he will receive superannuation allowance com- mencing back at the date of bis resignation— in 1874. The statement appears incredible, however. —Globe,

Why incredible? Mr. Carvell was clearly entitled to the superannuation allowance from the date of his resignation, and it was a gross wrong to keep it from him. Does the Globe deem it incredible that the present Govern- ment will deal justly with those who were wronged and defrauded by their predecessors? It is scarcely likely that Mr. Carvell will be superannuated and Icft unemployed, but it is pretty certain that in some way he will be ac corded the necessary justice that Mr. Mc- Kenzie denied him.— Moncton Times.
