the Speaker had wrongly calied Mr. Masson to order when he was rebuking My: Cartwright for giving an answer which ought to have heen given by Mr. Laurer. He says that Mr. Laurier had not given a frank explanation. The measure was really a Protective measure, and the Government ought to have frankly confessed the fact. Here we had a case in which Protection was given and sought by means of lowering as well as increasing a duty. The policy of last year was not the policy of this year. It was a reversal of an important point of Government policy. The Opposition had repeatedly urged the Government to con- sider the fact the legislation of this country vas closely watched by the United States, and that theirlegislation would be affected by ours. The reasons given for this change by the Gov- ernnient were not sufficient for the measures. Mr. Young, of Waterloo, who had brought this matter to the notice of the House, had been more frank, and had really confessed that the change was demanded by the conduct of the American Government. This episode showed us that we could always depend on the United States watching our legislation with a eritical eye. The public of Canada would no. tice the episode and give it its true weight, as an evidence of the wisdom of nrotective

measure.

‘The Duty on Mait—Pclicy of tho Opposition.

| (Correspondence of the Montreal Star.)

| Orrawa, March 23.—The formal step of pro- | posing to go into cominittee of the whole on the resolution providing for the repeal of the | duty of Customs imposed on malt imported in- to Canada, led to a lively debate yesterday, The duty on malt, as will be remembered, was increased by the Government not later than last session, and the proposal now to take it off absolutely necessarily called for /some explanation. The fact seems to be that ‘the maltsters in Canada, having opened up ' quite a trade with the States, the malisters of i that country have been prompting the Govern- | ment at Washington to increase the duty there, | which is now only 15 cents per bushel, point- ing tothe apparently high duty imposed in Canada as a reason fora retaliatory measure The Goverment maintain that as little or no malt | is imported into Canada, and their fiscal policy ‘is jurely and simply one of revenue, it is use- 'Jegs to continue an imposition which produces ao revenue, and which was established only ‘or the convenience of the Excise Department. The Opposition, on the other hand, regard this action as inconsistent with the professed policy of the Government, inasmuch as it is unmistakably taken to meet the wishes and serve the interests of the maltsters, and is forced wpon ‘them by their supporters. Dr. Tupper and Sir John McDonald put the matter correctly beforé’the House, when they described it as an eminently pratective measure, which command the United support of the Opposition. They argue, and very logically, that protection does not necessarily involve increased taxation, but really and truly consists in such an adjust- ment of the tariff as will foster and promote

THE Kingston News says that fifty-two ‘immigrants’ recently landed at Halifax by Ailan sieamer, who were booked to Hamil. ; ton, ‘Phe full fare from Liverpool to Hamil- |ton is £7 8s., but the Government. paid

£2 12s. on each “‘immigrant’s” ticket, leav- ing hin or her to pay £4 15s. only. Of the fifty-two, but fifteen remained in Canada, thirty-seven going on to the Western States; and of the fifteen, four were Americans, who, having been on a trip to “‘Yurrup,” accepted the Canadian Government’s open- handed hospitality and got the reduced

passage. Net loss to Canada £108 13s., or 40. it is beginning te be easy to under-

stand how $350,000 was spent last year in catching 7,700 immigrants, though in 1873 37,000 were secured for $138,000.

THe St. John News has an editorial om the objection of P. E. Island to Unite with New Brunswick and Nova Scetia. Atter describing the impression of the As- sembly regarding the Union, it says :— “It is true that the establishment of safe, easy, frequent, regular communication between the {sland and the mainland during the winter season, might have a favorable effect on the Island from a Maritime Union point of view. Such establishmedt must,’for the | present, be regarded as as a possibility,

And if be a possibility, some happy dis covery, some clever adaption, some cunning ‘device, thus far unthought of, may at any | time lead to its realization. At the present | writing, however, the establishment of a desired winter communication seems ag far off as the conversion of the Islanders to the Maritime Union faith.”

Tun Monrrean True Witness has an edi- torial on the late disturbance in Toronto, in which it says: ‘‘If there are Irishmen in Canada who have any sympathy with O'Donovan Rossa’s skirmishing idea, then let them and them alone be held responsi- ble for their actions. If there are any, we believe they must be very few. For our own part, we think the less we are visited by extremists such as O’Donovan Rossa the better for us all. They are not nenes. sary for our welfare. We can get on mach better without them than with. They do far more harm than good. At the. same time, if there are societies who choose to bring them on, no one can deny their right to do so, but to them alone will belong the responsibility.”

THE officers of the Western railways temporarily stopping in New York report that agents of the British Government are actively engaged throughout the West and spans in buying up for export horses or cavalry services. € prices, pai from S150 to $200 ao a purchases, made in Kentucky and Llinois’ are reported at 48,000. The horses are tc be purchased altogether and shipments made by Canada. As fast as the horses are bought and accepted each is branded with
