_-——_-
Tux Mayor of Sheffield recently spoke out boldly on this subject. He disputed the correctness of the statements that the worst of the depression was over and that the silver lining to the cloud of depression had already appeared, quoting statistics of bankruptcies to show that English com- merce was in anything but a healthy con dition. He claimed to be a free trader in the highest sense of the term ; but he found France, Russia, Germany and America closing their doors against the impertations of British goods, and could not believe in any free trade that did not mean a fair system of commercial interchange. He did not recegnize that as free trade which kept England open to foreign goods, and yet de- barred her productions by prohibitive duties. He continued as follows :—
‘*Admission of goods on fair terms all round was the soundest free trading. (Hear, hear.) It was said by several friends: ‘But you would not for a moment think of imposing a tax upon the productions of foreign countries.’ Well, that was exactly what he would do. Supposing that America, which seemed to be the chief party at fault in this matter, con- tinued to be so determined to resist the im- portation of our goods, it was high time for us to foster our colonial possessions. He would like to have colonial produce imported into this country to a s2uch greater extent than at present. It could be done by imposing a tax upon ‘American merchandize, doing at the same time a vast amount of good to our Colonial possess- ions and bettering ourselves.
This utterance shows that the influential | _
men of England are waking up to the fact that, rich as they are, the English people cannot go on forever importing if their ex- port trade continues to be hampered by foreign nations whese products they admit duty free. It shows, further. that the idea of acommercial union, in which England and her colonies sha!l have free trade among themselves, while they combine te protect themselves by hampering the trade of nations whose unfair policy is inimical to free trade, is taking root among the Eng- lish people. ‘It is high time,” said the Mayor of Sheffield, in concluding his re- marks, ‘‘that thoughtful men, concerned for the national welfare, looked well into this important question, and he thought if they did so they would come to see that if the produce of labor in foreign lands was imported into this country duty free, the produce of labor in this country should be exported into foreign lands also duty free. (Cheers.) If we continued to accept the produce of foreign countries as at present, we should only continue the suicidal sys tem of finding employment for peopleabroad by exporting our gold and impoverishing ourselves.”
Result of the Conference Between
Bismarck and Andrassy.
Apvicrs from Vienna state that the Con- ference between Bismarck and An has resulted in an agreement that the Ger- man and Austrian interests in all European questions are identical and that the condi- tien of Europe is such as will leave no doubt that the two Empires will be able to assert those interests peaceably. It is asserted that Bismarck, by showing that he is prepared for war, has taken the most effectual means to secure peace with Russia.

Trade Prospects.
——
English
ACCORDING to a prominent English news- paper, British trade will improve because the home demand of the United States will prevent United States manufacturers from | exporting goods te points where they now compete with the products of English looms. Upon which the New York ‘‘Herald” re- marks: ‘‘If the time evercomes when Ameri- can manufacturers will not have goods to spare,there wil! be an extraordinary surprise on this side of the water.”

The Canadian Indians,
THE IRJBES IN THE SASKATCHBWAN REG ION SUFFERING FROM HUNGER. Hvumeonpt, N. W. T., via Winnipeg, 21st Sept.—Col. Osborne Smith’s party passed here, 140 miles from Battleford and 80 miles from Fort Carlton, to-day, en route for Battleford. The destitution among the Indians is very great. Several slight breaches of the peace have occurred, but nothing very serious as yet. The buffalo are not coming in, and it is feared the winter will be a hard one among the tribes. Colonel Smith is pushing on to Battleford with all possible haste, in order to equip companies of infantry at that point. rhe traders throughout the Saskatchewan val- ley report that the Indians are suffering terribly from want of food, but so far they have not made any hostile movements. ——__<+2-e- -—_

Toronto, "Sept. 25.—Hanlau left in good
e ae in for Chatanqua eee oy Sia ee 2," J_F. McKAY, Watchmaker and Jewel-
Lake, taking with him the ‘‘ Louise,’ ‘‘Toronto,” aud ‘‘Dufferin” shells. He was accompanied by Mr. Coulson, of Montreal, who will advise him in his business, and Adair, a boat builder and sculler of local repute, who will accompany tne champion ashore and afloat and attend to his equipment. Hanlan’s request that%the race be postponed a week has been granted.
Ture Marevuis or Lorne has mace an ac- quaintance with Hanlan, the champion, who says His Excellency knows more about the rig of a shell and the various styles of rowing than many professionals. At His Lordship’s re- quest Hanlan, tackled the four-oared crew in a local regatta the other day, and beat them handily, and then made a stiff race with the Marquis’ steam tug.
THE WALKING MATCH,
It looks as though the Astley belt will again be carried to England by Rowell, who 1s eon- siderably ahead of the other competiters. Rowell has proved himself a ‘‘stayer” 1m pre- vious contests, and it is expected he will be able to keep his piace at the front. Weston, who won the belt in the last contest im Agri- cultural Hall, London, in June, is in the back- ground.
THE CHECKER.
Mr. Forsyth of Halifax, N. S. who is ona visit to this city, is a well-known checker- player. He came here without any intention of playing match games with any one, but has had several friendly contests. He beat Dykes, of Wardvillc, and also Weafer, of Point Edward, both prominent checkerists.— London (Ontario) Advertiser.
