liensive and statesmanlike, indicating
ti thorough knowledge and grasp of
the principles of political economy
Ile claimed that the loud and continued
protestations of loyalty made by sup-
porters of the Government in dis-
cussing this. question were utterly
selfish, being glade by men whose
supreme motive in politics was
enjoyment of the flesh -pots of office.
Whilst enjoying greater prosperity
than many other nations, Canada was
not retaining her proper share of
population, because she had no cutlet
for her surplus prodnutions. The
foolish charge that the Opposition
were decrying the country was cleverly
Met, Sir John. and his followers never
r:eased to decry Canada and its indus-
tries from 1876 till '78•, incessantly
repeating the statement that 500,000
Canadians were compelled by the
Government's policy to go to the
States. They claim great proeperity
for Canada to -day with over a million
of our people across the lines. Dis-
content existed in Canada, for eco-
nomic and political reasons. Some of
the Provinces never took kindly to
Confederation. Economically the
Consuming power of Canada was not
equal to its productive capacity. She
must have more extended markets for
her products. The Reciprocity Treaty
of 1854 was in the direction of sup-
plying this, and was largely successful.
The protective policy. adopted in 1878
lost sight of the fact that modern
industry could not thrive in a limited
market. Ten years' experience has
fully demonstrated that fact. The
Government has. admitted it by en-
deavoring to open trade with Austra-
lia, Spain and the Argentine Republic.
The policy that now commends itself
is to. open trade with our neighbors to
tlie. South. It was admitted that it
would benefit farmers and they con-
stitute 70 per cent. of our population.
Fishermen and lumbermen wanted it,
find not a few manufacturers. The
revenue of the country would not
suffer, and expenditures could and
engirt to be greatly reduced. It in-
dicated neither statesmanship nor
political wisdom to take more money
out of the people's, pockets than was
needed to carry on the country's
business.
English statesmen realized that
Canada had interests of her own, and
gxpeatedher yet to move for endeavor-
ing to extend leer trade and increase
her prosperity. To say that this was
disloyal was pure flunkeyism. To say
our Colonial connection- demanded
this was a slander to. England. So
long as Canada remained prosperoue
we need fear no organic change. This
was a question of 'duty, not one of
sentiment, and•ifiie (lir. Laurier) had
to ohoose between` duty to England
. and Canada„ he would stand by his
native land. England's history has
been one of transformation. Ib was
characteristic of the Tory party from
time immemorial to raise the disloyalty
bov,'1 when great changes were agitated.
His loyalty to England Mrs Laurier.
thin expressed : " Let my tongne
cleave to my mouth if ever I speak
an unkind word of England," Mr.
Laurier exclaimed, "ancl let my, richt
hand wittier if it participates in any-
thing unfair to England.'
which ought to have a good insight
into its aims and modes of attaining
them, denounces the organization in
very strong language, contending that
the object is to keep down prices by
preventing competition. Tlie essential
idea in "combines" is self -gain at the
public expense. But it is perfectly
legitimate for egg dealers to meet and
discuss matters relating to their in•
dustry, the same as any other class.
Among those present were : Messrs.

AGAINST THE PETITION
The anti -Scott Aot people tell na
that the Act is nob enforced and that

•Matthew Arnold has a paper in the
Nineteenth Century, strongly reflecting
on many features of American civiliza-

Victoria, • daughter of the German
Emperor, Frederick. Bismark thinks
this incompatible with the peace of
Europe and threatens to resign unless
the suit is broken off. European

•It will be interesting to watch the
progress of events.
Statieties show that high lioeneo is
no effective means of lessening liquor
drinking ; nor even diminishing the
number of li;senses or saloons, In
Chicago in 1882 when license was
$52 there were 3,849 saloons which.
sold 872,228 barrels of beer, and there
were 19,045 persons committed for
drunkenness. For the lust four years
license has been $500. Tho last year
there were 4,192 saloons, 1,974,146
barrels of liquor drank and 27,622
commitments for drunkenness.

Truth: " We are with the Prohibi•

credit the common sense of the masses

Government delay in purchasing sup,

tales are true, the Indian Department
must stand convicted of culpable

heartless neglect or ' cruelty. The
stories are a sad reproach to Canada
and throw a heavy responsibility on
those whose want of foresight • or

OTTAWA LETTER.
Racy Description of the Recent Debate
of the Tory following. The Tory
members laolced as if they had lost
their best friend. Their varied conn
tenanees would be a puzzle to a scienti-
fta physiognomist. Sir John looked
mad, Thompson was dumb. Vie wind
had been taken out of their suds by
Sir Charles Tupper, by his free trade
announcement. Sir Charles `.l'upper's
statement was received by uproarious
upplause fr m the Liberal side. Some
of the Liberal leaders took advantage
of the occasion to Ii .rub in " the Con.
servative inconsistencies awl congra-
tulated the country upon the humil-
iating back .down. Sir Chas. Tupper
endeavoured to shield file oolleague4 by
assuming the blame for himself. This
made matters worse, aS it .was not
his duty, to have brought the matter
before the Government ; it came more
directly under the Department of Cus-
toms. This announcement of the in-
tention of the Government tq recipro-
cate in placing upon the free list
natural products, spoiled a good many
spoeehes;'Bich lied not been delivered
and placed in a very ludicrous light
nearly all the speeches which the Tory
orators had delivered. The great uta-
jority of Conservative speakers main
tailed that even reciprocity in natural
products would be injurious to Cana-
dian farmers, and when Sir Charles
Tupper stated that if the American
Government would liberate more of
the natural products from the opera-
tion o2 the tariff„ the Canadian Gov-
ernment would reciprocate, the Tory
orators learned for the first time that
their policy and speeches slid not run
along the same line as did the views
of the Finance 'Minister. They no
doubt wished the "Hansards" was
burned, so that their„ inconsistencies
may not trouble them in future. The
debate became tiresome as each speak-
er 'towards the close only repeated
what hadoitlready been. said. Laurier,
however, gave new zest to the debate
by his eloquence. He delivered a very
able , and spirited speech. He was
followed by Chapleau, the Secretary
of State. Reis a very eloquent speak-
er. His remarks are delivered with
spirit and great enthusiasm. Ho com-
mands good attention. His vivacity,
his clear silvery voice and enthusiastic
gestures would command the attention,
respect and applause" even of those
opposed to his opinions. There were
many good speeches upon both sides,
but 1 think 1 can say without preju-
dice that the Liberals have the, beet
debating talent in their ranks. The
Liberal cause in this debate =doubt
gave the Reform sneakers an advan-
tage. Daniel Webster said that " Eld-
!pence consists in the man, the sub-
ject and die occasion:' If this be so,
the Liberals had the vantage ground
The division took place at 4:4.5. thi
morning and resulted in a majority o
57 for the Government: For Si
Richard's resolution, 67, fon the Hon.
G. E. Foster's ainendment,.112,
The resolution., was,. therefore defeat
ed by a majority,, of 55. Twelve Lib
erals were absent and nine Conserva-
tives. Turn constituencies are vacan
-Russel and Kent. These will n
doubt, return the Liberals returns

belle,of Kent, and Edwards, of Russel.
The elections in these constituenoie
will take place in a few days and th
Liberal ranks strengthened thereby
am confident that the country wit
sustain' the Liberal and free tract
policy of the .Reform party and the
after the next general election th
Liberal party will have a majority i.
the House. We must work for thi
end in. the interest of the country
The Fishery question will come up fo
discussion on ,Tuesday next. Sir Chas
Tupper will make a great speech.
Ottawa, April 7th, 1888.
Mr. R. Chambers, head of the firm
of W. & R. Chambers, •publishers,
Edinburgh,died in•that city on the 23rd
ult. He was a son of Robert and
nephew of William Chambers, the fa-
mous orginators of the firm, and was
born in 1882. Front the age or 22
years lie was connected with the firm,
and took an active part in its literary
and c'omm'ercial management. From
1874 he undertook the editorship of
Chambers' Journal,. and revived the
popularity of that periodical. In golf.
,ing and out -door sports Mr. Chambers
was an adept, and his genial nature
. (Written for TRETmEs.)
There were several interesting inci-
dents in the House this week. Sir.
Chas. Tupper put in an appearance for
the first time since the trade debate be-
gan. It is well understood here that he
holds more liberal views upon the
trade relations with the U. S. than
any of his colleagues. or their support-
ers in the House. It was even sup-
posed that his views on this question
would not be expressed during the dis-
mission. The attention of the Govern-
ment was drawnthe other day to the
fact that it did not place upon the
free list fruits, shrubs, trees. and vines,
according to the statutory offer made
in 1879, although the 1' 7. S. Govern-
ment placed the 'above articles upon
the free list on,lst July, 1883. Sir
John and tine Minister of Justice took
the position,that the Governihent was
nob imperatively bound to reciprocate
and that the clause in the Act was
merely permissive and discretionary.
The U. S. executive drew the attention
of Sir L. S. S. West, British Consul
a Washington, to the nonfulfilment
of, the promise of the Canadian GeV -
eminent. The Government here was
reminded a few days ago of its breach
of faith by Lord Salisbury, This re-
minder brought the Government to its
senses, and paused a change of front
which placed the Government in a
humiliating position. Sir Chas. Tup-
per announced from his place in par-
liament that the Government had
passed an Order in Council placing the
articles heretofore mentioned upon the
free list anis had notified the C. S.
Government to that effect. Ho read
the message that had been sent which
eot cleded by saying that the Canadian
Government waited further action by
the U. S. Government in the same
