The Mennonites.

The Berlin ‘‘ News” says of the Menonite immigrants who passed west last Friday week on their way to Manitoba :—Mr. Otto J. Klotz is with them as as interpreter Mr. Jacob Y. Shantz also met them in ‘’or- onto, and accompanied them from Toronto to Sarnia, where he saw them safe on board the steamer. This is the first company this season, though they are of the impres- sion that two more batches will be here yet before the season closes. Owing to the great difliculty of selling their property in Russia, and the very great discount on the money when they do sell, it is found a very trying undertaking to emigrate at present. Still there is a fair prospect that large num- bers will come the next and following year. The accounts sent home by those already in the land of promise are evidently very en-

couraging, and therefore it may be fairly |.

expected that all those in the Czar’s do- minions will, within the next two years,

| find their way to the land of freedom—

where the gentle sway of Victoria allows every man to serve God accordng to the dic- tates of his conscience. The present com- pany, numbering 272 souls, was composed of 48 families--averaging nearly six to the family. They had in their possession $29,- 000 which will help pretty considerably to get them started in their new homes.

TILLEY AGAIN TO THE FRONT

“ His Speech in Mechanics’ Insti- tute.”

The Mechanics’ Institute, St. John, was crowded on Tuesday night to greet the Hon. S. L. Tilley, and welcome him back to public life. The attendance was esti- mated at 1,200, and the sea of friendly faces ‘‘ inspired the speaker, as for three hours he arraigned the Government for its mal-administration and impolicy, in an un- answerable speech of great power and elo- quence.” Hon. J. C. Pope was one of the audience.

Mr. Tilley was received with long and loud applause, and the enthusiasm found frequent expression during the speech as he touched upon various matters of special in- terest or made tellirg points in his argu- ment. He first stated the facts in connec- tion with his acceptance of the office of Lieutenant-Governor, and then proceeded. We quote the report of the St. John Tele- graph :—

ALTERATIONS IN THE TARIFF.

Having disposed of this private and personal matter, I will now proceed to speak of these questions of a public charac- ter in which all are interested. I do not desire to speak to you of ‘hem as a party man ; I wish to appeal to your judgment and reason with respect to them. i wish to show you that my views on these public ques- tions are right and in your interest. I will speak first of the financial policy of the present Government, and the alterations which they made in the tariff in 1874. Had I been in Parliament when these alterations in the tariff were made I would have taken exception to almost every change made by Mr. Cartwright. First, Mr. Cartwright proposed to place a duty on ship’s material of 2} per cent., the railway import. After the Union the duty on this class of goods was struck off. This was done because we thought that the shipping interest was one that required all the assistance which could be given to it. We all agreed that articles which entered into the construction of ships should be as free as possible. Mr. Cartwright proposed to change all that in 1874, but the shipping interest at that time was not in as good a condition to bear ad- ditional taxation as it was in 1867. It was in fact the very worst time that could have been chosen to impose such duties, Mr. Cartwright justified the imposition of such duties on the ground that light houses had to be kept up, but new vessels receive no more freight from light houses than old ones and foreign vessels as much benefit as Canadian vessels. By imposing such a duty the price of ships would be in and our vessels rendered less able to compete for freight in the markets of the world.

RESULT OF CARTWRIGHT MEDDLING WITH TEA DUTIES,

The nextitem of duty Ishall touch upon ie that on tea. Prior to 1874 there was no duty on tea except an impost of ten cent. on tea from the United States. What was the result of imposing that 10 per cent? It enabled us to establish a tea trade direct with China, and its removal enabled the Americans to come in and destroy our direct trade, so that now the establishments that did the trade in Canada have removed to the United States. Mr. Cartwright im- posed a specific duty of 6 cents per pound on black tea and 6 on green—irrespective of its cost. The effect of that impost duty was to cause the Maritime Provinces to pay a larger proportion of the tea duties than they did under the old advalorem arrange- ment immediately after Confederation. Under the present specific duty, the tea of the poor man, which costs say 17 cents, pays 30 per cent. duty. The tea of the next class pays about 20 per cent., while the high priced teas, only used by the rich, pay but 10 per cent. This is the practical operation of Mr. Cartwright’s tariff. Cheers. So now we see, as another result of the tariff, that the tea trade is driven from us to the United States, and that the people of this Dominion are thus deprived of a busi- ness that belengs to them.

HOW THE SUGAR-REFINING RUINED.

I shall next refer to the sugar duties, and see what has been the effect of their operation, taken in connection with the bounty system of the United States. Its effect has been to close the refineries of Cenada, to drive away from the Dominion 300 or 400 workmen engaged in sugar re- fining, and to change the whole current of West India trade. The sugar refineries of Canada, if properly protected, might do a flourishing business in such centres as Hal- ifax, St. John, Quebec and Montreal. Our duties now operate against the refiner ; the United States now practically give a bounty to ‘their refiners on exported sugar, 80 that unless some step is taken by Par- liament we cannot establish sugar re- fineries in Canada. Recently a confer- ence on the sugar question was held in England to consider the operation of the French sugar bounties on British trade. It was said that, as it is said here, that if a foreign grvercement — 2 te og bounties to give the people of c sugar, oi rae not have the benefit of it # But what did Mr. Gladstone, free trader as he is, say when he was written to on the subject. He said that he would like to sea free sugar, but that when it became a ques- tion of a foreign government trying to de- stroy a British industry by bounties, he would impose a duty equal to the bowsty- (Cheers.) Some steps would have to taken to foster the sugar trade of Canada by
