At a secret sitting of thé Chamber to-day, M. Ghilla and M. Staurdza reported the re sult of their recent mission to Lon- don and Vienna, respectively.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Str,—The New York //eraid, iv a late issue, contained an article on Dominion trade. It bespattered Premier McKenzie freely with soft soap; and of course the Patriot gave his read- ers the benetit of some choice extracts of praise frem the Herald. The American people and their newspapers have good reason for praising Mr. MeKenzie and his trade policy, for he has done more since he came into power to benefit the Yankees than all their own statesmen could do in the same time. He has managed the trade of the Dominion in such a way that we have every year to pay the cute Yankee mil- lions of dollars in cash to square accounts with them. Under Sir John A. McDonald’s Gov- ernment the trade regulations were such that the enlightened American people took as much of our produce as paid for what we received from them. But the New York //eral/ does not like Sir John A. or his trade policy; and it does like Mr. McKenzie and his policy. And no wonder, for the returns from .American Consuls in the Dominion show that if the pres- ent trade policy is pursued the almighty Yan- kee will monopolize the whole trade of the Dominion in a few years, without allowmg us any privilege in return. The //erald’s article is tull of advice to us, and the Puiriot en- dorses all he says. The Aerald says the proper way for such ignorant peo- ple, as we are, 18 to allow them to send what goods they please into country free of duty. And, if we have such trash as oats, potatoes or — to sell, we must not grumble if they do nof allow them into their country without paying a high duty, But go to some other country and_ sell them, and then hand the money over to them in pay- ment for their goods or trash. The Herald says that Sir Jobn A. is opposed to that one- sided policy, and it warns the people of the Dominion not to elect him at the next election. McKenzie is a statesman after the wily New Yorkers own heart, and he hopes that Me- Kenzie will continue for years to rule the Do- miniong One would suppose that if the New Yorker was in favour of Free Trade, he would first use his influence at home, and advise those who he had influence with to grant Re- ciprocity. The people of this Dominion have, for the last ten years, been trying to coax the Yankees to grant a Reciprocity Treaty. We represented the injustice of allowing their goods to come into our country free of duty, while they charged an exhorbitant duty oh what we had to sell; but the answer was to ** grin and bear it.” And now the Americans, emboldened by their domineering policy, ac- tually have the assucance to advise us, through their press, who to elect to govern the country in accordance with Yankee ideas, and to suit a vicious American policy. It is hard enough to bear a trade policy that is carried out in favor of a foreign people by the present Gov- ernment, But when we are asked to elect men

Twenty samples of sweets were found to be all pure, also two samples each of cocoa and chocolate. But condiments and spices make a very unsatisfactory showing, only cassia and some minor spices being found without admix- ture. Indeed it is an open secret that ground ginger and pepper, cloves, allspice and mustard contain ground rice, wheat flour, and the refuse of flour mills. The Halifax analyst found the milk there genuine, and the ground spices sub- mitted all pure, but the mustard was mixed with lime and tiour.

One-fourth of the teas examined were found to be adulterated, Prussian blue entering into the coloring of Young Hyson. Of ene sample the Montreal analyst says ‘“‘it consists of de- CREEN GRAPES cayed and broken leaves and stalks of tea y VOK ED Hf i/ IRUT plant and other foreign leaves.

CODFISH, for human food.” It is a little remarkable that | 799 BOXES DIGBY HERRING. the Quebec analyst finds no tea adulterated, and he examined fourteen samples. Of ‘‘cof- fees,” three-fourths were made up ¢in part of chicory, roasted beans, peas, corn, and even wheat. We know that the public taste is pe- culiar in the matter of coffee, many people pre- ferring the addition of chicory to the pure aerate bean; but probably the average purchaser DONALD NICHOLSON woul! prefer his peas and corn in the shape of P brose or Johnny cake, to paying 25 cents per Jan. 16, 1878—y. lb. for it under the guise of ground coffee. | - : :

For our own part we should, if pure coffee could not be had, choose rather the dandelion e coffee, which Mrs. Moody recommended so highly whilst roughing it in the bush. But twelve per cent. of the sugars analyzed were found other than pure. Some muscovado was found to contain a little salt, and the crushed as much as ten per cent.; some of the samples contained four to seven per cent. of glucose. j Wedonot hear of the customary ‘‘sand,” which, we presume, is in this case spelled salt, nor of the iron and sugar of lead, which has been found, we believe, in samples of sugar in |} ————— a = Britain. yaw Sk ace
