The Exeter Advocate, 1894-4-26, Page 4ei.er Aboortatc SANi]BR5 a DYER, Prep. THURSDAY,; APRIL 26th, 1894 , E 1 ' 'TARIFF 1RJGUL.ATIONS,. Warner were wanting to proem re to Canadians that our present o"vern;6aent • ar e not " flies on the evlieetsi"it is the introduction of a re- visedl tante :moulded to suit the ,changing circumstances of this coun- try. So much has the policy of the present' Cabinet recommended it- self to the public that the Mil, and esthete Opposition journals, that for Years past have been bitterly oppgsed tethe Conservative rule, are now coin- ing round and have had to acknow)- 'edgy that "important reductions in td'uty had bees made" by the revised riff—and that"from a business point ef''Kew it was to be commended." And ft /here is one class in the community what will be materially benefitted by the new fiscal arrangements, it will be the farmers, Our readers are aware that the one chief cry of certain lead - :Mtge politicians—such as Cartwright, Laurier, Dalton McCarthy and Charl- ton—was that the present Government was the slave of the manufacturers who in the euphonious language of :Sae Richard were nothing bat "bloated robbers." The aim of our Government zeas never been to favor one class at the expense or sacrifice of other classes —their aim as public servants has rather been to promote the general in- terests of the whole Canadian people, tt speaking more particularly of the revised tariff,—while the past policy of tine present Administration has aimed all along to preserve the home market for our own producers, as . well as to lbwer or admit free the chief articles that farmers and operatives consume, the beauty of the revised tariff consists in making it largely a farmers' rariff. That class has been consulted with by the present Cabinet al] oyer the Do_ minion. Dirties on necessary articles of daily consumptiou have beeu either largely reduced or admitted free, while protection has beeu extended to all sorts of farm produce to meet the de wands of the agricultural classes. In addition to this, with a view to Freer th°ade relations as between Canada and the United States, a provision has been Inserted in the new tariff Act for inter - 'national reciprocity—to this extent that the United States, or any other eountry that wishes to reciprocate, is allowed to send free corn into Canada on their admitting Canadian barley free. So much indeed have our Gov ernmeut evinced a desire to meet all reasonable demands, that now the cry € the Opposition is " they have , stolen cur clothes." What more could be asked or expected of the Government than has already been conceded—our tea, coffee, sugar, are admitted free; natty on cottons and woollens material- gy reduced; agricultural implements will only bear about one half the duty Haat they did before; wire for fencing purposes greatly lessened; and, goner ally speaking, while the free list has been largely extended, an important change for the better (which the To- ronto Mttil is now compelled to admit) has been to substitute ad valnrerra for sgccific duties. This, of course, will cause a considerable reduction in the revenue—which, according to the Nail's il's admission, will probably reach somewhere about four million dollars --]rut now that our chief public works ;.,renearly completed, and with the proposed reduction on public expendi- ture, it may safely be affirmed that we ehall still hare a surplus of revenue ivistead of deficits as formerly under the Liberal regime. '7zice more is the Government to the fore as a farmer's Government. When the tariff was first brought down pork was, put upon the list art an ad valorem aate. It was pointed out by Conserva- tive members that this would be less eproteetive to the farmers and hog rats- - else: The consequence has been that the specific duties havenow been re- turned by Mr 'Foster upon pork and lard. This will have a good effect all the time but a specially good effect whenthe prices: of then products are very ]ow in the United States, TIP. 0 VIEWS, A year ago Mr. ]bi'cCarthy moved chat the Government of Canada be con- elenmed for not at once, without a nio- htfiientl's delay of ins; airy, setting 'Gout the work of tariff revision, This may be seen in his 'resolution Auk Ite presented to the hoose during That session, This year Mr: McCarthy rigid not 'hove a resolution, but he made at.lerig speech,bur readers will be eterprised 'le know that he, in that ,lieeeeh condemned the Goverlirnent for touching the tariff before the people of of the Country had had an opportunity of voting upon the question at ,a. get oral election. He offered no explana- tion whatever aa to bis change of opiuiou; indeed, he had no explanation to offer. Tris desire was under any and every circumstance to find fault with the party inpower, and it didn't make any difereuce to him whether he made himself ridiculous or not. Since Mr. McCarthy joined the Grit party he has travelled a tortuous road. POSTAL STATISTICS.

It fill Entirely 1Lovolutionize the Stud of metallurgy. lean article on the •'Past and Pres- ent of Aluminium," translated from the Revue dos Deux Mondex, the author, M. J. Fleury, says: The brightest promises for the future of aluminium are offered through the electrical processes. When the flame of the voltaic arc is turned upon a mixture of pulverized mineral and charcoal a fusion takes place, and the metal, re- lieved by dissociation, flows out fluid, limpid and brilliant. So fine a result, however, can be obtained only under the most favorable conditions, to secure which, not always with certainty, great pains are required. An easier- process is to turn the voltaic aro, not upon the pulverized mixture, butupon a bath of mineral substances which have been previously brought to a condition of igneous fusion, as is done in the Cowles electrical process. Complex phenomena are then produced, both calorific and chemical. Important factories have been established for obtaining by the process both pure aluminium and its al- loys and other metals, particularly with iron and copper, By it the company at Pittsburg obtained almost chemically pure aluminium from the crude bauxites and corundums of which considerable quantities have been discovered in the northern United States- The factory. at Neuhausen utilizes a part ° of the falls of the Rhine at Schaffhausen for the propulsion of powerful turbines which directly work the dynamos whence elec. trinity is obtained for the production of aluminium and its alloys. Important manufacturing centres have also been established in England and Germany, and theme are some in France. By these new methods, which are still susceptible of improvement, a consider- able saving over the old purely chemical processes is gained in the treatment of the minerals. In either case the chief effective agent is heat. and it is utilized far more completely in the electrical furnaces than in the older furnaces, which were subject to many cooling in- fluences. Not more than 400 grammes of coal burned in the furnace of esteem engine driving .a dynamo will produce electrical energy sufficient to isolate in a molten electrotype one kilogramme of aluminium. More than 20 times as much would have been required in the old chemical process. By virtue of this better utilization of heat, with greater perfection in the equipment and man agement of the shops, the price of alum- inium has continued to decline, till it is now very near the point when the metal can be profitably applied to the fabrica tion of many articles. The alloys of aluminium now occupy a high position in practical industry. Aluminium bronzes and platings, light- er and more tenacious and more resist- ing than copper, and conducting heat and electricity better, will take its place. The new shops are also working for the production of cast and malleable iron, and they are in request by smiths for refining cast iron and steel. The metallurgy of iron is now an ex- act science as well as an industry. In- formed by analysis of the exact compo. sition of the elements that enter into the fusion -bed, and of thecharacter of the products at each moment of the op- eration, the metallurgist can determine with accuracy what he must eliminate and what add tel give his product the quality required for the use to which it is to be put. A few hundredths of an alloy will decide what: it shall be. A little chromium will render artillery projectiles proof against breaking; nickel increases the resisting power of sheathings. Introduced at the right time into the Bessemer converter or the Martin furnace, a small portion of the alloy of iron and aluminium communi- cates to the melted metal a fluidity which facilitates the disengagement of the gases that would otherwise remain imprisoned in the metallic bath, pro- ducing blow -holes, and destroying hom- ogeneity and resistance in large pieces. Changeable,,(,'tgaring for Bicycles, This invitation relates especially to the driving gear of safety bicycles, af- fording a convenient differential gear mechanism by which the speed and power may be changed at will without dismounting. The construction is sim- ple and substantial, and also provides a positive and easily working arrange- ment for turning one of the sprocket wheels on the pedal shaft faster than the shaft itself. By, the simple move- ment of a lever the gear may be shifted to or from either one of three positions, the first being the normal position, the second one in which the gear works slower and with greater power, and the third position giving greatly increased speed. This device consists of two open links, one split longitudinally to form a pass- ageway for the other, and each of the links having at both ends inwardly ex- tending arms, a pivot connecting- two corresponding arnis, It requires con- siderable skill to open and close the links to insert or remove a key, thus preventing their accidental displace- ment or removal by unauthorized per- sons. A supplementary key adapted for use in connection with i3crew keys, whereby the latter may be more'quickly and con- veniently turned than with the fingers. Instead of the half turn only, at one effort, the screw can, with this improve. ment, be given a complete turn with each twist. lilectro 'Vapor launches. Among the various applications of the modern gas and oil engines is in the pro- pulsion of launches, special nlodifica- tiotis of the machines being made to successfully meet the requirements of the service. Last year a launch con- suming . petroleum Was xiin on the river Thames, London, wlierre it aroused con- siderable interest The boat was' 36 feet long, by 7 feet 8 inches beam, by 4 feet 6 inches deep. A 10 -horse -power engine was 'used, the oil being sprayed. by a jet of compressed air, and after - 'ward heated in a vaporizer kept hot by the exhaust gases. The ignition also was effected electrically, the 1 iatterybe ing used to bird the spark. rt_io norinal number of revolutions was 24.0 per minute, giving the boat a speed of about eine miles an Lauf. About 40 gallons of oil,sufficient for Several days' rim. ing, were canted] 1ti the bow, from `eniel1 the engines Brow their, supply: A Detroiter ownsa launch of somewhat timilar oonstrtiction.
