Tue Patriot asks:

What Free Trader, for imstance, could find fault with a declaration of this sort :—

‘As I have said, all parties in this country have accepted the doctrine I lay down, that our revenue must be obtained by means of duties upon imported goods, and the distribu- tion of these dutigs should always be in such a way as to confer the greatest amount of benefit upom our people,”

But Mr. Cartwright says that duties are ‘fan evil per se”!

[r gratifies us to learn, says the ‘“‘ Mone- tary ‘limes,” that the subject of butter an- alysis, to which we devoted some space in eur last issue, has been taken up by several produce firms in Montreal, who recognize the importance of the matter, and acknow- a that we have rendered a service to the

e in explaining the awkward-looking re- sults of the Montreal examination. The attention of the Commissioner of Inland Revenue at Ottawa has been called to the subject; and the request is made that the samples of butter hereafter submitted to the Montreal analyst shall be taken from the atocks of the heavy dealers and exporters. instead of from the stalls of vendors on the the Bonsecours Market only. We have no doubt that Mr. Brunel, perceiving the reasonableness of this request, will give in- structions in accordance with it.

SO ee

Imprisonment for Debt.

Iv was not long ago that in Maryland a man was hung for highway robbery. That was bad enough but the Chinese have gone further and created a criminal precedent, which is not likely to be adoped by our higher civiliza- tion. They held a secret council, condemned a man to death for not paying his debts, and then deliberately carried out the sentence. Such a course if rigidly pursued in New York,

would reduce the city to the rank of a country | -

village. We have reached such an attitude of thin moral air that we are compelled every few months to put new hoops round every saying | institution to keep it from bursting, and a glad surprise overtakes us when we see the cashier sitting at his desk with that calmness of countenance which says that nothing has happened as yet—American Paper.

The people of Prince Edward Island have not adopted the Chinese plan referred to above but a system amounting to the same. They have an Act providing for imprisonment for debt and compelling the debtor to sustain himself in jail. The result is that any penni- less individual who is friendless stands a good chance of dying of slow starvation. There is at the present time in Charlottetown jail,a poor debtor who, but for the kindness of his fellow prisoners would die of want. And this in a christian country and in the nineteenth | cevtury !—Moncton Times.

A Reformer’s Appeal.

This is the Paris Star's appeal to its old-| time Reform friends :-

‘*No wonder that during the past summer) Sir John McDonald was greeted throughout Canada asa deliverer. No wonder that the farmers, mechanics, and the business men of this country look to him as the only statesman who can restore prosperity to depressed and almost ruined Canada. We say to Reformers ! that if ever there was a time when the interests | of the country were jeopardized that time is. now. If ever there was need of unswerving | loyalty, steadfast patriotism, and able states. manship at the helm of state it is now. We golemnly declare our unalterable conviction | that Sir John McDonald and the Opposition / deserve the confidence of Reformers and Con. | servatives alike, and that we believe they will receive that confidence.”
