THE TWO REASONS, Mr. Labouchore says:--"T.'xn no fanat- ical free trader ; r am one geogrephically. If I heti been an American I should have been a protectionist. Being an English- man 1 am a free trader. The mistake of political economy is to suppose that it is based on principles of universal application. When President Cleveland in his My reason, as an Englishman, for being a late message stated that the surplus sus free trader is not anytheoietical admirat- o ion of free trade, but because we should revenue question in the United .lose more than we should gain by protect States demanded the attention of i:0n," Congress and the Senate, and him- It would be well if such a spirit self advocated such a reduction of the tariff; as would yield less yearly revenue to the extent of eighty or a hundred million dollars, both the Globe and the Mail praised the Presidential speech, and accredited his excellency with possessing great wisdom, sound sense and moral heroism. Other free trade journals on this continent and in Europe, did; likewise. ` But there soon came cabled across the Atlantic d trench- ant answer from James G. Blaine, which put a quietus on many of those who had been disposed to fol- low President Cleveland in calling for an enormous reduction of United in enlightened selfishness prevailed elsewhere, • England is for free trade because of her food necessities Food, and still more food, is the daily, hourly cry. Any policy with which to purchase enough to fill eighteen nullions of hungering mouths day by day, for which •Eu glish agriculture makes no provision -that is the foundation of England's' policy, -because it is the necessity of her position. In Canada add Amer- ica it is not so: We have food in abundance for ourselyes and plenty to spare for 'others: 'Hence it does not follow that though .'free trade" is a good thing for England it would be also a good thing for us- The 1 At the concluding sessions of the Prince Edward county election trial held last week at which Dr, Platt, (Reform) the sitting member, was tinsel ted and the election voided, tree of the witnesses in behalf of the doctor were heavily .fined and imprisoned. This degradation of the franchise is being properly and 'deservidly sat upon. Though China is far away from us, it is impossible to read without a thrill of sympathy the accounts of the terrible flood which recently swept suddenly out of existence three --quarters of a million human beings, equal to one-sixth the popu- latiou of Canada, and spread deso lotion and fanzine throughout one of the fairest and most fertile provin- ces of China, Tele Globe lately referred to "some cranknan'ied Hartleyfrom Bluevaie thus designating him because he asked if champagne had 'flowed at the recent timber .limitssale, It turned out that Hartley was a high ly respected Presbyterians minister, An amused contemporary suggests that the organ nowweeps'three days St ter rotective tariff rr.. n1a;,— 's Canadian policy seeks, rather,` to a week.

And it 1s are strong, and, as far as we know, having ` great effect. Some years. AT Osgoodela11 Judge: Rose In the case of Queen vs. Cameron, re, fused to quash a conviction against the defendent 'under the Canada Temcerance Act who was fined $6o for file first offence. It was con- tended that for the first offence :the Act provided a penalty of not less than $5o His Lordship held; that "not less than $50" not limit the penalty to that sum, but that it was in the discretion, of the ; Magistrate to increase that amount, which discretion, so long, at all events, as it was reasonable, would not be interfered with by the court,` A couple of weeks since the Lon- don Advertiser contained' an Edi- torial squib stating there had been $45,000 worth of dressed fowl shipped from Canada into the Uni- ted States, and that the duty on the same was $4.5,0oo. The statement that the duty was $45,000 is absurd, but when it is known there is not anent of duty collected on dressed fowl going into the United States, the assertion may be taken as cal culated%a to deceive the farming commur-ity, as it is contended by many Reform papers that the Cana diaii farmers are losers to the ex- tent of thousands of dollars. ` by have never yet been fairly answer- ed. But another combatant for pro- tection to native industries ,has ap- peat ed in the person of ex -Governor Long, of Massachusetts, who ap- pears to be a mighty man of war in the discussion of political and econ omit questions. Without further premise, we quote of what the dis- tiuguished ex -Governer has said re- levant to the matter that formed cite chief part of the Presideut's latest address: "With over $300,000,000 revenue, of which over,$200,000,000 is from customs, and over $100,000,000 from internal tax- es on tobacco and spirits, and with about $100,000,000 of this gross revenue not needed, and therefore to be cut off, from what items shall itbe cut? The president says by` no, means .from the internal taxes of $100,000,000. on tobacco and spirits, 'possible, then, for a man to be an Passing then to the $200,000,000 customs P revenue, more than $50,000,000 of than', eager free trader in England and sum is the tariff on imported sugar, so prominent an item that the refusal of the president to even allude to it as a source of reduction must be taken as a recom- mendation by him to have that also as, it is Of the remaining $150,000,000 at least $50,000,000 is the ariff on imported luxuries, such as wine, champagne, cigars silks, laces. kid gloves, fruits, jewelry, etc. It goes without say ;nig that these foreignl uxuries are the last things in the world to be relieved. What remains?' The inexorable logic' of the president's message is that the $100,000,000 reduction must be the remaining $100,000,000 of the.crproms ,revenue. 'What are the icenii of this amount ? First are what are ailed, not ,accurately, the free raw ni^ erials. But unfortunately these aunt to only some $12,000,000 and are a drop in the bucket. There are seven- teen items of this sort, more or less,' which, for 1887, I find stated herein Mr. Chas,'HeberSmith's adlnirable pamphlets as follows: Coal -tar dyes..,.. - $ 522,60 Potash 104,710 Soda 1418,209 Coal .'.•. • 581,008 Copper ore...... 108,090 Hemp... ..6,19426,,895186 Drauitia.._ . 896,788 diel1 •- 08,751 Sisal }rase 184,351 $aY 525 Iron ore necessarily elapsed after its intro- duction before its 5enefits were fully understood.
