POLICY OF THE MINISTRY’

‘We have in this country at the present mo- moment NO 1DEA of having a system of Free Trade.”—Hon, A. McKenzie at Toronto.

‘The policy of the Government is deter- mined opposition to the Opposition”.--Pre- mier’s Speech at the Drill Shed.

In other words, the policy of the Gov- ernment is to slander their opponents and

do nothing for the good of the country.

THE OPPOSITION PLATFORM.

A RE-ADJUSTMENT OF THE TARIFF.

To make the duties fall more equitably.

To make it the interest of the United States to accord Reciprocity.

To revive the languishing West Trade.

To remove the present barriers to the de- velopment of our Agricultural, Mining and other Natural resources ; and gen- erally

To encourage Home Industries with Home Markets for Home Produce.

To promote our Fishing interests and pro- tect the rights of our Fishermen.

‘* NerrHeER at LONDON OR FLSEWHERE

HaVE I GOME BEYOND MY MOTION IN Park-

LIAMENT, AND HAVE NEVER PROPOSED AN INCREASE, BUT ONLY A RE-ADJUSTMENT OF TARIFF.

‘ Jonn A. McDonap.”

‘*We can well understand that we may raise the duty on woollen, cotton and other goods, but lower the duty on articles of general consumption which we cannot pro- duce, and the volume of taxation may be LESS IN FACT, although it may be raised, at any given time, higher than it was before. If a man were obliged to pay a cent more for his cotton, and had a cent taken off his tea, it would be found, by calculation, that he was a gainer by the operation.” —Sir John in Parliament.

MR. TILLEY’S PLANK.

Mr. Tittey then took up the public ex- penditure, showing that an average expen- diture of $22,500,000 was all that was necessary, and the expenditure ought to have been kept within that, instead of an average, as it has been, of $24,000,000. The policy of the Opposition was Nor IN- CREASED TAXATION, as it had been stated by their opponents, but a readjustment of the tariff and REDUCED EXPENDI- TURES. These were the planks in their platform, together with encouragement to our manufacturing industries; ship’s ma- terials, raw materials, machinery not made in the country, free; 15 PER CENT. on non-enumerated articles ; and an increase of the tariff on such articles as we can pro- duce in the country, giving employment to our people and a HOME MARKET FOR OUR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE.

DR. TUPPER’S PLANK.

‘* | trust [ have satisfied the House tha IT Is NOT a question of high or low taxa- tion, any further than this, that, inasmuch as we governed the country with a small taxation, and inasmuch as we 2re prepared | to govern the country again without those extravagant expenditures made by the pres- ent Government since they have been en- trusted with power, all we ask is, Nor THAT THE TAXATION OF THE PEOPLE SHALL BE INCREASED, because we do not require so much money as the hon. gentlemen oppo- site, as we have shown by our economy in

the past, and which we are prepared to | practice in the future, but that the money , shall be levied in such a way as to FURNISH | EMPLOYMENT FOR THE PEOPLE AND PROVIDE | THE MEANS OF PAYING THE TAXATION THAT IS LEVIED UPON THEM.”

The Methodists in Conference. LARGE ATTENDANCE OF MINISTERS AND DELE- CATES—INTERESTING PROCEEDINGS,

MONTREAL, Sept. 4.

The second General Conference of the Meth- odist Church in Canada commenced its session in Dorchester Street Church here this morn- ing About 200 delegates, ministers and lay- men, were present.

The roll being called, the responses were very general, only one delegate being absent. The President, Mr. Ryerson, read the follow- ing statistics: At the union of the Wesleyan and New Connexion Methodist Conferences in Canada with the East British America Confer- ence in 1874, there were 695 Wesleyan Min- isters, 113 New Counexion, and 223 of the East British America Conference, making in all 1,031. Now there are in the London Confer- ence 330 ministers, in the Toronto Conference 365, and in the Montreal Conference 220, a total of 915, or an increase of 108 over the United Wesleyan and New Connexion Confer- ences in 1874. The Nova Scotia Conference numbers 106, New Brunswick 95 and New- foundland 49, a total of 250, an increase of 27, making the grand total in 1878 of 1,265 minis- ters, a total increase of 134 in the last four years. The membership in connexion with the church was stated to be at present 122,605, a grand increase of 20,659 in four years. The church property amounts to the grand total of $4,855,997.

The Conference then proceeded to the elec- tion of officers by ballot. For president, Rev. George Douglas, D. D., Montreal Conference, received 119 votes; Rev. S. D. Rice, D. D.,

London Conference, received 59 votes, Dr. Douglas was declared elected. tev. Alex.

Sutherland was elected secretary with 102 votes. DPD. Allison, Esq., L. L. D., Superin- tendant of Education of the Province of Nova Seotia, was elect Ist assistant-secretary with 113 votes, and Judge Judge Jones was elected 2nd assistant-secretary.

The president introduced to the conference the Rev. Samuel Coley, the delegate to the British conference, who is well known as the biographer of the Rev. Thos, Collins. The tev. Mr. Coley then presented his personal credentials to the president, and in a few words expressed his pleasure at meeting with the Canadian Conference, and his high appre- ciation of what he had already seen in Canada,

Rey. Samuel D. Rye, D. D., of the London Conference, was elected vice-president.

tev. J. Bredin was elected journal secre- tary.

Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world we live in. Nature gives us grandeur of mountains glens and oceans, and thousands of means for enjoyment. We can desire no better when in perfect health ; but how often do the majority of people feel like giving it up disheartened, discouraged and worried out with disease, when there is no occasion for this feeling, as every sufferer can easily ob- tain satisfactory proof that Green’s August Flower will make them as free from disease as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver Com- plaint are the direct cause of seventy-five of such maladies as Biliousness,

Palpitation of the Heart, and other distress- ing symptoms. Three doses of August Flower will prove its wonderful effect Sample bottles, 10 cents. Try it.

| “The Practical Man.”

HE LOCKS UP CAPITAL AND NECESSI-

TATES INCREASED TAXATION,

For a ‘‘ practical” Minister of Public Works, Mr. McKenzie has committed the gravest errors of judgment. The money spent or to be spent on the Pacific Railway within the current fiscal year amounts to nearly $14,000,000, as follows :—

Total amount voted by Parlia-

WO... os serena ot ce ce $13,563,178 What shall we have for this vast outlay ¢ Two sections of the main road are being built, one of 114 miles from Lake Superior westward to English River, and the other of 114 miles from the Red River eastward to Rat Portage. But Rat Portage is 180 miles distant .from English River, and this intermediate section has not been placed under contract, nor does the Premier propose to take it up for five years yet. Hence when the $13,563,000 shall have been spent, we shall be prae- tically as far from having all-rail communi- cation with Manitoba as we are to-day. The Pembina branch will be open, but our Canadian road will still be ‘‘among the clouds.” Moreover, the sections from Su- perior to English River and from Red River to Rat Portage will be decaying and going to wreck while the gap of 180 miles is being built. The cost of these two sec- tions is estimated at $5,750,000. In other words this money on which we pay Lom- bard street nearly $300,000 interest a year will lie sunk in the unconnected links for five years. The Premier has a faculty for locking money up. Three millions have been invested in steel rail piles since 1874, and the rails are not needed yet.

Betting on Elections.

Mr. Blake’s ‘‘Act for the Repression of Betting {and Pool-Selling, assented to on the 28th April, 1877, provides as follows : (1) In case any person who uses or know- ingly allows any part of any premises under his control to be used for the purpose of recording or registering any bet or wager, or selling any pool, or (2) keeps, exhibits, or employs, or knowingly allows to be kept, exhibited, or employed, in any part of any premises under his control, any device or apparatus for the purpose of recording or registering any bet or wager, or selling any pool, or (3) becomes the custodian or de- positary of any money, property, or valua- ble things staked, waged or pledged, or (4) records or registers any bet or wager, or sells any pool ; upon the result (a) of any political or municipal election, or (4) of any race, or (c) or of any contest or trial of skill of endurance of man or best—such person is guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall be liable to be imprisoned in any common jail for any term less than one year, with or without hard labor, and to a fine not ex- ceeding one thousand dollars.”

Sec. 2 says:—‘‘ Provided always, that this Act shall not come into operation until the tirst day of May, A. D. 1878, and shall not extend, &c., to bets between individuals.

A small sea-serpent was killed in the Car- digan River, opposite the wharf, on Thurs- day last. It was noticed swimming with its head about one foot over water, and continued its course quite heedless of the ferry boat, which was crossing at the time, and passed close by the stern of the boat, without showing any signs of fear. The ferrymen knowing that his boat was too clumsy to make an attack, hailed too men who happened to be out in a small boat,and they at once pursued the daring stranger. One of the men struck it a blow witha short pole which they carried in the boat, and killed it. They raised it a sufficient distance over the water to examine their victim. It proved to be a serpent about four feet in length, and six inches in think- ness, and of a green color. It is something seldom met with around this coast.—K,. Advertiser.

A Ruryep Counrry.—The Milwaulkie Sentinel says : ‘‘ From what we can gather from a perusal of the Canadian papers, one of the two political parties there is trying to prove that Uncle Sam has ruined him- selt by protecting his industries, and that we are forty-five millions of tramps. This is news up here. By the way, why have ten thousand Canadians settled in Wincon- sin within three years? Got tired of get- ting fat on one-sided Free Trade, we sup- pose.”

Politics are getting hot in P. E. Island. Our despatches indicate that four Liberal- Conservative members of the Local Govern- ment have resigned on political grounds, It is quite unlikely that Mr. Davies will be able to recognize his Cabinet; and the re- sult of Mr. McKenzie’s visit to the Island will be the gain of the Local Gov- ernment by the Liberal-Conservative Party.
