MONDAY, J UN i 3, 1878, NO, 312.
TeaatA \ ge 43 Tae witt incidence of the Tariff.
The Halifax Reporter remarks upon the fact that the Toronto Glote recently put the issue as being between those who desire that the present tariff should be ‘* main- tained “— with such changes as would cause industries now assisted by legislation to be ‘* taxed ”’—and those who desire that there should be a re-adjustment of the tariff, so as tu reduce the importations, and thus re- duce the balance of trade. It says :—‘** In the min, we accepted the issue so put by the Globe as the exponent of the Govern- meni’s policy, and at once showed that the words of the Gevernment, translated by their acts, meant that there should be no revision of the Tariff. This cansed the public attention to be directed to the injus- tice of the present tariff, and the consequent necessity for what Sir John calls scientific ‘e-adjustment,
“in the session of 1877 the subject was somewhat fully discussed. Hon. Mr. Pope, for instance, said :
‘* * He felt bound to vote against the in crease of duties, proposed by the Goyern- ment, as bearing particularly hard upon the working and poor man, more particularly at a time of great depression, when he felt that the Government should do all in its power to relieve the working classes, instead of putting increased burdens upon them.’
o Pope referred to the fact that the finance Minister had said that the Govern- ment must have $760,000 a year inore to meet the deticit, and then ‘to raise that amount he, Mr. Cartwright, proposed to double the tax on malt, and to add two cents 2 pound on tea, when the poor man already found it hard to get even the neces- ae The result of the tax upon malt would be that it would affect the price of barley to the farmer. Ht would drive many of the brewers to make an in- ferior class of ale, and would increase the
=} a0 + ws oy +} : price so as to drive the laboring classes,

who were the principal consumers of beer, to drink more of deleterious whiskey. . * * As regards the tea question it was well known that the more wealthy classes took collee for breakfast, dined late, and perhaps took anether cup of coffee ; whereas the labormg and middle classes had tea three times a day ; consequently the great- er portion of the increased tax would fall upon those least able to bear it. If a larger revenue were wanted, why not put the ad- ditional duty on brandy, spirits of all sorts, high-priced wines, broadcloths, silks, satins, velvets and ribbons, feathers, ete., so that it should be paid by those who could best afford to pay it.”
In the same debate Sir John A. MeDon- ald moved in a nendment to the motion of concurrence :
“That the said resolution be not now concurred in, but it be referred back to the Committe on Ways and Means, with instruc- tions that they shall have power to sub- stitute for the said duties on tea some other tax, that while bringing to the Treasury an equivalent amount of Revenue, will, at the same time, aid the varioits in- dustries of the country.”
Both he and Dr. Tupper spoke upon the amendment, and the gist of their remarks may be found in Dr. 'Tupper’s sumoning wp, viz : *‘He believed, as he had stated, that the result (of the tax on tea) would be to raise an unjust and unfair proport'on of the tax from those who were least able to bear it.”
Mr. Palmer said, ‘‘ If any principle of taxation were correct it was that Capital should bear its fair proportion of the bur- dens ; but if Capital were not to pay the whole of the burdens, the whole tax should not be placed upon the energies of the men without capital. But under the system which had been inaugurated the laboring men would pay more than the rich men into the Public Treasury. In view of the depressed circumstances of the country, and his policy (which the Globe says is to be maintained”) of the Government instead of encouraging the industries and giving employment to the idle population would have the effect of driving them out of the country.”
To conclude, not because the proof is ex- hausted, but less the editorial should grow too lengthy, we may cite Sir A. T. Galt, who in his letter to Mr. Mills, a member of the Grit Government, said :—
‘* The real question at issue is whether the present tariff is the best possible for the present circumstances of Canada. You, by your inaction, assume the affirmative and must consequently be held to the position that when unexampled commercial suffering exists in the country, you can, as a Govern- ment, do nothing whatever to relieve it. You allege that the causes are beyond your control, and that nature must supply the remedy. I take the contrary position and aflirm that the present tariff is eminently artificial, and therefore open, at all times to beneficial changes, and that in a period of severe distress the duty of the Govern- ment is to try the effect of changes. It has amost gloomy and depressing influence upon the mind of the country for the Par- liament to assume the attitude of admitted incapacity to afford relief for two successive years.
Now in all these quotations, we have the necessity for a revision of the tariff clearly set forth. We have the injustice *v the tariff pointed out, and a re-adjustwént of
the tariff urged as Sir A. T. Galt said, on the ground that such re-adjustment ‘‘would greatly tend to the amelioration of the pres- ent distress, and certainly place our suffer- ing industries ina better position to take early advantage of the recurrence of more | prosperous days.”
eo
_ Yet the Globe saya the issue is whether the present iariff shall be ‘ maintained,” or a re-adjustment effected. Nothing has roused Sir John A. to greater indignation than the determined efforts of the Grit party to place more and more the burden of taxa- tion upon those least able to bear it. In this respect the whole Liberal-Conservative party have sprung to the assistance of the inasses with a spirit and energy that has shown more than anything else that they ave the real friends of the people. The Government have acted throughout upon the principle attributed to Charles James Fox, who asked a friend upon what he should put a tax so that he (Mr. Fox) should not feel it?) The witty answer was: “ Put a tax upon receipts for money paid, and, as you hever pay your bills, you won’t be af- fected.” The suggestion was acted upon, and the tax on receipts made the law. The Government of Canada seem to study the tariff, so as to secure exemption for them- selves and men with accumulated wealth; and to do this they impose the additional taxation upon the middle and poorer classes —-an aristocratic Finance Minister thus fol- lowing the bent of a selfish nature.
POLITICAL NOTHS.
Sir Joun McDonatp at Buanrrorp.— Sir John and Lady McDonald, and the Hon. M. C. Cameron met with an enthusi- astie reception at Brantford on the 24th ult. Addresses were presented by the Con- servatives of the Riding, to which responses were made by Sir John and Mr. Cameron, and a speech was made by Mr. J. J. Hawk. ins. Lady McDonald was presented with a handsome escritoire, accompanied by an address, to whieh: she responded in a few words. in the evening a banquet was held at the Kerby House, Brantford, which was numerously attended.
Le Canadien notes the progress of M. Joly’s desperate eiforts to secure a majority on the 4th June. The Lientenant Governor is at the head of the intrigue. The Federal Ministers are in the swim. Messrs. Laurier and Pelletier put in an appearance at Quebec, dangling before the eyes of this and that member contracts, offices, honors, money! But Le Canadien is of the belief that the Conservative majority is proof against the corrupting influences which are all around them, and that the thirty-four members elected in opposition to the Govy- ernment will be found united on the da the House meets. A few days’ time wi tell.
Sir John A. McDonald gave capital advice to his party, a few days ago, at an opposi- tion demonstration. He said :—
‘*It was only by the complete abnegation of individual feelings that a party could tri- umph. If Ontario were lost at the next elections it would be through the fault of the Conservatives. Every honest man must vote for his party, and he who, through a petty feeling of disappointment at not ear- rvying out his own object, abstains from so doing, must be both false an weak.”

The Eastern Question.
To Prince Bismarck is attributed the present peaceful aspect of affairs, he, it is said, suggesting the proposed form of invi- tation. But for him, a Vienna correspond- ent states, Congress might have bean con- vened at one time without England. At to-day’s Cabinet Council at London, the in- structions, so the “$Daily Telegraph ” says, to be given to the British representative at Congress will be decided upon. According to the understanding with Count Schouva- loff, Bulgaria has been reduced to less than half the size at first proposed, and large limitations have been admitted in Asia. Arrangements are also in view for getting rid of the indemnity altogether. A Berlin despatch states that in the recent negotia- tion, Austria’s interests have been practi- cally ignored. Count Andrassy yesterday explained to the Austro-Hungarian delega- tions the uses to which it was proposed to put tne sixty million florin credit vote. If Congress were successful, he declared great frontier changes would have to be made, and fresh complications might arise. It was, therefore, necessary to take precau- tionary measures. The *‘ Times” argues in favor of a British protectorate over Asiatic Turkey.

The exports of the United States during the nine months ended April 1, 1878, exceeded their imports by $203,229,501. During the same period, exports of specie and bullion were $5,316,243 in excess of the imports of the same.
When the celebrated Beau Nash was ill Dr. Cheyne wrote a prescription for him. The next day the doctor, coming to see his patient, enquired if he had followed his prescription. ‘‘No, truly, doctor,” said Nash ; ‘if I had, I should have broken my neck, for I threw it owt of a two-pair-of- stairs window’’
A soldier was sentenced, for deserting, to have his ears cut off. After undergoing the brutal ordeal, he was escorted out of the courtyard to the tune of the ‘“‘Rogue’s March.” He then turned, and in mock dignity, thus addressed the musicians:— “Gentlemen, I thank you ; but I have no ear for music.
A gentleman lying on his death-bed called to his coachman, who had been an old servant, and said, ‘‘ Ah! Tom, I am going a long and rngged journey, worse than ever you drove me.” ‘GO, dear sir,” replied the fellow (he having been an indif-
| ferent master), “‘ never let that discourage
you, for it is all down hill.”
