FIFTH SESSION --- SEVENTH EARL.
IAMENT.
MANFAOTURERS PRICES.
Sir Richard Cartwright °ailed the atten-
tion of the Government to egret he termed,
an abuse suffered by hardware importers
in Toronto and Montreal for some time
past in getting goods purchased in the
United States through the Customs. It
was complained by the importers, he said,
• that when goods wore passed they received
an amended invoice adding upwards of 80
per cent. to the original duty. Similar
•practices, he said, had prevailed in the de -
pertinent with regard to other classes of
goods.
• Mr. Wallace said, that the duty of the
Govermnent was to protect the revenue of
tho country. In accordance with the law,
he had sent special trained officers to the
United States to ascertain the prices of
articles. Tbis has been done in the case
of bicycles, agricultural implement, and
°thee goods. .
Mr. Charlton said it was indecent for
the Government to select as judge and
jury a man who was interested in exerad-
ing American invoices and Importations
fete im Canada. It NV4S uonsonse for the
hon. gentleman to talk about laving re-
duced the duty as long as they pursued
Buell a coarse.
Mr. Foster saki his hon. friend might
quarrel with the system of protection if he
pleased, but so long as that system was
the law of the country, and so long as the
Coeservative Government was in power
it was the duty of the Govermnent to have
the system carried out in its entirety, and
not as a sham. his friend the Controller
of Customs had taken the method that
co:imam-idea itself to him, and not an
hon. gem:Woman had impugned- the vera-
city of the information. As long as no
greater charge could be brought against
the Customs Department than that it lived
up to the law, he thought such a charge
wonld have no more weight in the country
than it had in the House.
Mr, Mills asserted that the agents sent
to the American snanufacterers obtained
their information under false pretences.
Mr, Wallace explained that such was not
the case. He had instructed them in each
case to go to the numnfactuars direct,
and state their business, and ask for the
prices, so as to enable them to judge of the
value of the importations.
Mr.Prioraala the Controller ot Customs
hacl done nothing wrong, but hadadmin-
istered his department in the way he was
expected to do by the country. His own
experioace as an imnpoeter enabled him to
state that American manufacturers had
one list of prices for the United States and
another for Canada.
Maeacietullen ctharged the Controller of
Customs with prostituting the Customs
law in the interest of the manufacturers:
Ho had stated last year that the duty was
imposed npon American manufactures
coming into this county according to the
wholesale prices, but the deity was actual-
ly based on the retail price.
BEHRING SEA CONFERENCE.
'Via Davies asked whether there was any
• truth in. the report that the Canadian
Government had been asked to send dele-
gates to the proposed conference at Wash-
ington in Ootober about the Behring Sea
fishing matter.
Mr. Foster—We have intimated our
willingness, andl think the negotiations
have gone so fax that it is pretty well
understood that conference will be held,
but as to the exact date I cannot say. The
conference is to take in consideration seine
nieans of arriving at the amounts that are
to be paid. It arises out of the failure of
the United States Congress to carry out
the recominendation made by the Presi-
dent for the payment of the sum of $425,-
000 as reparation.
THE BUDGET.
Mr. Edwaxds emphatically denied that
• labourers were well off in this comary, Or
in any protected country. On the con-
trary, therawas no class injured by pro-
tection as much as the labourinat= class.
Two of the gmatest enemies oflabour
were protection and the standing armies
of Europa It was ridiculous to assert that
the farmers of the county were protected,
except possibly in the article of pork, and
then the protection. was snore foe the pack-
• ers than the fanners. He predicted evil
days to come on account of the policy of
the Administration. The Liberal party
was not opposed to the manufacturers, but
opposed that class of them that had to be
• assisted at the expense of the community
in general.
Mr. Wallace showed that it coast $1.50
to collect every dollar of revenue from the
pulbio serices in 1877-8. Respecting the
financial standing of the country, he said
that all Liberal critics had to admit that
the credit of the countryhad increased,
and that Canada had made an excellent
• loan the other clay,but they qualified it by
saying that the rate of interest of allother
mu/dries had gone down also. The facts
dicl not show that to be the case. Coin-
pariag Jauuary, 1879, with January,
1895, they would, find that Canadian four
per cents, wore worth then from 89 to 91
per cent., and were weed] now from. 110
to 312 per cent. That was an increase of
21 points.
Mr. Wallace said 11 110(1 been oharged
that the Conservatives had increased the
expenditure unduly. He asked the House
to contrast the increase of expenditure at
Ottawa under Conservative rule and the
increases of =pandit -tam in the provinces
under Liberal inde: The actual Federal,
inereflee In five years had been two per
cent., whereas the provincial increases
during that period had aggregated e2 per
coat. While the Liberals were in power
they increased the public debt by $8,000,-
000 per annum. The record of the last
five yeaes showed that yielder Conservative
rule the debt had increasea by loss than
• $2,000,00e a year. Contrasting the Calle-
d/an with the British system of raising
revexatio, he said hon. gentlemen opposite
wished to create a general impression that
there Were xio taxes in England. The
taxes last year amounted to $285,000,000
or $7.88 per head, which was $2 snore
than the taxes in Canada, and this, nob.
withstanding that many great pittilic
• works had been constructed in Canada.
But hon, • gentlemen were hedging how,
and Wanted a tariff for revenue. What
right had they to say that it was Unpossi-
ible for them to get bettor prices for wheat

Mr. Plaggert, replying to alr, Forbes,
fetid that the Governinent entered into a
centred relating to the coustauctien of
the eailroad along the south shore ot Nos a
Sootia on February 281h, 1895, with the

• FLEOTORAL DIVISIONS.
Mr, Moutague, 'ila answer to Mr. Oharl•
ton, said that the Queens printer is repair-
ing a book of maps showing the bound-
aries of time electoral divisions and the
volume will be issued before the end of
the session.

THE BUDGET. •
Mr, Cockburn, said ' that the meta
"Hope springs etoreal in the henna
breest" was never better illastrated tha
In the cheerfulness with whicatheLibera
platy came again to time front with a fre
tracle policy, But he would Auggeet t
them that they hail better oast off thei
old. love before they took on the new. H
hacl expeeted great timings from the policy
of unrestricted reciprocity when the hen
inembea for South Oxford had submittec
that banting to the House The hon. gen
tieman had promised that if the Haus
and country exempted that policy every
caltivated wire in Ontario would. bo in
oreased $10 in value. .The hon. gentlemai
had promised to pay off all the old debt
of the country and leave several hundred
millions to the good. They had now to
cleat with a new policy evolve I by the hon.
gentlemen. They wishea free trade as i
was praotesed in Great Britain. He dit
not say that free tattle in itself WEIS bad,
but it should be adapted to the cirouin-
stances of the country, and free trade in-
troduced into Canada now Woulct be a
very bad thing. He wished the House to
bear in mind the different conditions
under svhich Canada existed now from
that of England years ago, when free trade
was inaugurated. Was it to be expected
that Canada would adopt a policy of free
trade without preparation such as Great
Britain had, and especially when every
other country in Europe found it neces-
sary to operate a protective policy?
Mr. Devlin, said hon. gentlemen oppo-
site prided themselves on never having
changed their policy but last session they
had 0 reduced tariff, and had the Minister
of Finance telling them about, remitted
ditties. Was not his a change in policy?
Could hon, gentlemen point to a single
year in which expenditure had beim re-
duced? The average taxes during the
Mackenzie regime ever° $18,900,000, and
during the last five years was $30,000,000.
If hon. gmitlemen wanted to know their
policy let them read the resolutions adopt-
ed at t.he Ottawa conference two years ago.
That policy was freedom as far as possible
for the people of Canada against those
who tyrannized over them for the special
benefit of the few who sent them there.
Mr. Devlin, said the only classes bene-
fited by the National Policy were the
manufacturers and the Governnaent, by
taxes wrung from the farmers and work-
ingmen. Hon. gentlemen opposite follow-
ed. the United States policy, and called
themselves loyal. The members of the
Opposition sought to follow the policy of
Great Britain, and were called disloyal.
Mr. Craig, said the critical word in the
amendment offerecl by the hon. member
for South Oxford was "only" in the
phrase "tariff" for revenue only, because
he himself believed in a tariff for revenue,
• Mb he took the amendment to mean that
protection must be abolished. The result
of taking the duty off beef, pork, and
other articles of daily conatunption would
be that hotels would import all their beef
from Chicago, or buy an occasional load
from the Canadian farmer at a very low
price. "Where would the market for
Canadians be? Canada would be but a
slaughter market for English and Ameri-
can goods. Next to the wages of work-
men, farm products were protected by the
N. P. He found that farmers never ob-
jected to the protection afforded to them -
staves, though they might object to protec-
tion of manufacturers. Another class
that \received benefit from the N. P. was
the employer of labour. Laying aside
prejudiees, there was scarcely a man any-
wlaere bat would acbnit that the manufac-
turers weite a credit to the country. He
contended 'e that it was unfaix to place
snanufacturbrs living in Canada on the
same basis 4 manufacturers living out-
side of Canadleaud who contributed noth-
ing ing to he suppo. a of the country. Farm-
ers, he thought, would prefer to pay . a
trifle more for thsir goods, and be able to
dispose of their pr duce without the me-
diation of micldleMen, • as would be the
case if there were 'lie manufacturers in
the country. Protection did not increase
prices, because there was competition
among the home inanufacturers. The
character Of the Liberal policy might be
fairly characterized as indefinite and un-
settled. • He had not heard two members
of the Opposition agree exactly in their
definition. He held that it was the duty
ofthe Government to fame a policy for
Canada, and not for the United States or
other foreign countries.
CANADTAN TROOPS.
• Mr. Dickey, in reply to Mr. Rider, said
the Government did on one occasion offer
to the Iinperial authorities a portion of
the permanent corps for garrison duty.
GOVERNMENT BUTTER SA.LES.
Mr, Charlton, resuming the debate on
the buclget, said he had been charged with
running tap on Sunday. That °barge lie
would pass over without eommentz inaka
much as it wtes ma pertinent to the dis-
cussion. Dealing •with the fiscal policy,
he Coaled. that the farmers had received
tiny protectioa from the Coneertativ0e.
Tee farina; depended not upon the tariff,
Mr his prosperity, but upon the bleSsia"
of a kind Providence The condition of t
laraters was not ono of prosperity, for be'
velltured to say now that not one farmer
am Canada made 5 per, cent on his capi-
tal, The Lamers were prospetous under
Liberal rule. Indeed the muntry could not
offer up 0 prayer that was better calculat-
e ed to bring blessings upon it than that tl
le
eondition of things that existed under the
o Liberal Administrations would return.
It was folly to say that the duty on pork
raised the price of that article. He admit -
tad that the price ef wheat was higher ia
Canada than in the, United States, but
contended that was due to tho fact ,,that
these bad been over -exportation. He con-
• tended that $13,900,000 of a reduction could
1. be made . in the annuale expenditure, and
•showed by comparison of expenditures for
1878 and 1891 Where be thought xecluc-
• tons could beet be made.
Mr. Ainyot, metanclect that the present
1 tariff Was a tariff for revenue, ' but was
• something more also. He would like to
ask the Liberals if they proposed to tax
the int‘V matea•ial. At Mentreal Mr.
Laurier had said they would not. Would
they then tax the precluets of the farm?
Ho had taken the trouble to compile sta-
tistios regarding the opinions of manufac-
turers in theconetithency of the hon.
leader of the Opposition as to the (mese,-
tion of the National Policy, and most of .
them bad acknowledged that the abolition
of the protootive duties would be ruinous
• to them. Many of them had refused to
answer, saying that it was only an at-
tempt to strike a blow at the loader. Re -
°roams wore made to the condition of the
'United States at various periods since the
introcleution of protection in 1824, and it
was shown that those periods wben a pro-
tective Administratioil had been in power
were marked by prosperity and rapid de-
velopment as against retrogression daring
reveaue tariff policy. It had been said
by the hon. member far North Norfolk
(itfr. Charlton) that proteetiois was no
good to fanners and was not wanted by
them; but he could not accept that state-
rnentan view of the deoision of the farmers
themselves whenever they had a chance to
vote on it.
Mr. Smith, an impartial observer of the
debate, he said, must have been convicted
there was a very great difference in the
sentiments of the two political parties with
respect to the future. In one ease the feel-
ing was one of hope, bile in the other it
was gloomy and dark. The effect of a pro-
tective policy iii this counaw had been to
give Canadians the control of their own
market, and to enable thorn in s'ome lines
to compete against the world. At the pres-
ent time wheat was worth 71 cents in
Detroit and 86 cents in Toronto. Would
anyone pretend fol, a moment that the
farmers did not realize more for their oats
than if there was ne duty? Tho duties
on beef and pork had also seemed to our
farmers th Canadian market for those
products. We were not dependent upon
the United States for a marketfor our
products, and this country had gone as far
as it could decently go in endeavouring to
,get better trdae relations.
Mr. Flint said no persons had more faith
in the resomaes of the country than the
Liberal party The Government had done
nothing to increase the substantial pro-
sperity of the people, and any prosperity
that was achieved had resulted from pro-
fits upon the export trade. The country
was under the most abject slavery by rea-
son of an organization which Axed prices
and would not allow goods manufactured
in Canada to be sold for less. The mem-
bers of the Liberal party had often been
asked what tariff for revenue only was.
He would tell them. It meant a just and
honest tariff. It implied reduced rate of
expenditure and a fair and equitable ad-
justment of the burdens which must be
borne by the people.
Mr. Macdonald (Xing's) contended that
the National Policy had created a home
market for the products of the Mem. In
1878 their total import of farm products
amounted to $13,901,114, whilst in 1892
the amount was only $2,776,742, so that
these imports under the National Policy
were $11,124,872 less than under the taxiff
for revenue only of the Liberal Adminis-
tration. He could' therefore claim that
the present Government's policy had been
in the interest of the farmer. The Na-
tional Policy had not.inereased the price
of manufactured goods. These were never
as cheap as now. Canadian °redid stood
high on the markets of the world, and our
mechanics and artizans were in the enjoy-
ment of good wages.
REV. L. W. SHOWERS
Mr. Montague, in answer to Mr. Bider,
said 915 packages of butter wore shipped
from Montreal to Great Britain for sale
on the Government account during the
present year. Particulars of the two small
shipments from Pri./1C0 Edward Island
had not yet been received.
DOMINION LOAN.
Mr. Foster.in answer to Mr. Rider, said
the financial agents of the Government
Were tho Bank of Montreal, through
Whom the Dominion loan of Ocotber,
1894, was negotiated. • The total amount
of bonds issued was A2,250,000, and 1 he
not amount received was 4:2,192, 85e. The
total expense 'incurred in its negotiations
was A835,983.
NEWFOUNDLAND MATTERS.
Mr. Davies wished to rem ind the hot,
gentleman of a promise that he would lay
on the Miele of the House the terms of the
proposed tiniest with Nevsfeendland as
soo21 as the repot was laid on the table of
the Newfoundland Legislatute. He saw

A Very Small Bird.
The vervain humming -bird is the small -
'est bird in existence. It is very little
larger than our familiar Munlbe-bee. Its
plumage is very brilliant in coloring. Two
specimens are on exhibition in. the Nation-
al Museum at Washington, and the tiny
balls of bright -colored feathers average
about two and one-third inches in length.
The nest is a frail and almost perfect
piece of bird architecture. It is composed
of mosses, vegetable fibre and wild cotton
with a delicate lining of spider's webs. In
gathering the latter material it is no un-
common occurrence for the little birds to
become ensnaxed in the webs of the laxger
spiders, by which they are killed.
The size of the vervain's nest is three-
fourths of an inch in diameter across the
cavity and sligbtly snore than an inch in
total diameter. The eggs, always two in
number, aro pure white. They never mea-
sure more than ono -third of an inch in
length by one-fifth of an inch in width.
These diminuive birds are found only in
the Islands of Jamaica.
• A. New Use for Milk.
"Laoteopathy" is a new curative treat-
ment which a Transvaal doctor has dis-
covered and writes of in the English Me-
chanic. Having noted the fact that milk
absorbs poisonous germs from a bucket,
he decided that it might be possible to
turn this germ -absorbing power to a ther-
apeutic account. He put his ideas to the
test, and now asserts that he has cured
persons of smallpox, fevers, diphtheria,
and other maladies by simply wrapping
them in milk sheets,
The patient is laid on a mattress cover-
ed with blankets, and. is packed in a sheet
just large enough to envelope the body.
This shoat has first been saturated in a
pint and a half of warm milk and is ap-
plied without wringing. After the pack,
svhich lasts about half anhoms the patient
is sponged with hot water or is put into a
warm bath. A case of small -pox was, ac-
cording to this lacteopathist promptly
relieved by this tmatment. After the
eruption was well out, the milk sheet so
quickly drew the poison from tho skin as
to effect linneediate convalescence.
Every One Ms Own Illuminator.
At present Col.Necl. Maltby is busy with
the experiments some scientific men are
carrying on with the ftreefly. These, if
they WO See( es 401, Colonel Ned is confid-
ent will reduce the eost of living, of pub-
lic expenditures and make notable changes
in domestic life. Everyone knows diet
food taken into the body after supplying
nourishment is converted into heat. In
the electrical °el this process is so varied
that instead of heat electricity its produc-
ed. • In the fire -fly, on the contrary, the
result, again varied, is light. Thus it ap-
pears that these various energies—heat,
light, electricity—aro but different mani-
festations of the one cause, and conse-
quently ought to be readily transformed
the one into the other.
Now how is this to be done is what the
scientific gentlemen aro trying to find
out, The fire -fly has, of course, a special
organ for its electrio light, as the eel has
for its electric action, But chemists 'lave
discovered that certain fats containing sul-
phur and phosphorus, burned at a low
temperature will produce light. This
necessary dew combustion the human
body furnishes. The inference Seen18 clear
that the only thing remaining is to flue
Mal the human with the phosphoric and
sulphretted fat in some form that °Aube
utilized.
When this is done, says Colonel Ned,
every man may be his own lantern. It is
not probable, ho continues, that the form.
ula of this light -making food vvill be given
to the public when it is discovered, but he
forsees that it will be put bite Mlle easily
portable from. Lozenges or pills he
thinks most probable, which, if they are
distasteful, can be sagar-coated. Most
probably the formula will be secured by a
company of scientific men and capiatlists,
However, the cost of the lozenges or pills
will be ;light, as the gentlenson admit
that "nature produces this chertpest light ,

"Oh, clear oh, dear!" groaned young
Mrs. Lambkib
n as she returned from hex
first outing after they had moved. "Why
do they make all the houses M a row ex•
actly alike? Algy is so afraid that I will
blunder into somebody else's house by
mistake. Of course when we lived in a
flat it was a different matter—you had
only to climb the stairs until they stopped
and there you were. Let me see now, did
Algy say it was the third from the one

Sho glanced cautiously about her to see
if anyone was aware of her dilemma, but
no one was in sight.
"Why didn't I remember to look at the
number before I started? And, oh, if I
had only •staid at home to -day and put up
my parlor cartans I'd . have had a land -
merle to guide nsel To think that I don't
know which house I live in! What will
Algy say to me!"
Trying to look unconscious she walked
to tbe other end of the block and. back
again, seeking for some sign of personal
belongings, but in vain.
"Whatever shall I do?" she groaned.
"Oh, my goodness, there's somebody
peeping from behind that curtain!" and
she nervously walked on. "I can't very
well ring the bells at all of the 'mouses in
the row and ask if I live there. Se o: Pll

with any sense could possibly snake a

said that a Air. Johnson lived two doors
away; I can tell by that
"Officer can you.
tell me which house Mr. Johnson lives
in?"
"Two Mr. Johnsons live in this yere
block; which wan d'ye SVedip"
"I—I don't know."
"Well, Watl of 'em lives at 90 and wan
at 108," and he passed on.
"Ob, dear, I'm as badly off as ever,"
she groaned, "I shall nester hear the last
of this from Algy. Why didn't I ask the
policeman where the La,mbkins live? I
forgot that he wouldn't know I am Mrs.
Lambkin."
Several window curtains were flutter-
ing by this time as she again walked to
the end of the block, and she was aware
that each one partially concealed a new
neignoor. As sho turned to go back, she
eaught sight of her husband running up
the steps of ono of the houses; she ran
frantically toward him, calling loudly,but
in vain, for he disappeared. without hear-
ing her.
"Which ome did he go into?" she moan-

• one next to it? If I go into the wrong one
now, he'll be sure to see ano, and I shall
never hear the last of it. -Well, there's no
help for it; I can't stay out here all night,
so I'll try this one."
As she ascended the front steps she was
met by her husband coming down with a
very red face.
"Why, Algy," slso oried "I'm glad you
are at home, but are you going out again

"No, I'm not," grosyled Algy, "I'm go-

Hoe ticultural Notes.
Flavor and taste are not the same. You.
taste the flavor but do not flavor the taste.
Level culture is best for almost every
crop. •Haling up is often disastrous in a
dry season, wheredevel culture would have
succeeded.
Intelligence is a requisite of no less im-
portance in handling and nutrlseting our
soil products than in growing the same,
and yet a fact that has been- too slightly
considered, indeed quite generally ignored.
by Canadian fruit -growers.
California grades her apples, peaches,
plmus and pears designed for shipment
to certain fixed sizes, and upon this system
bus acquired here reputation for the fine
productions that are found on every fruit
stand in the East. Why not by the same
methods save the markets for our own
selected fruits possessed of a quality that
Ivo know would be far superior.
Wellselected, evenly -graded, well -color-
ed, carefully packed -fruits axe only want-
ed by the vendors and purchasers wherever
marketed, and only `such will sell ata
profit, especially in markets overstocked,
and in periods of business depression.
Hence, we cannot too strongly urge upon
the fruit -growers of Canada greater care
and continued improvement in selecting
and handling evelything produced, or the
time will certainly come when they will
regret the pronounced neglect which is
a subject of general criticism at the pres-
ent time in all the great markets.
