injuriouely affect the firm. Moreover thefirtn
were not the amused ones. Ile snbmitted
that he had cOmplied with the terms of the
subprena as far as any court of justice
weueldemaud that he should not be required
to give up the custody of the books and that
be should be diecbarged from custedy. Mr.
Ferguson added that, notwithstraiding the
reasons given for refusing to produce the
hooks, Mr. Connolly was prepared to give
them up if ordered by the House to do so,
Sir John Thompson moved that Mr. Connolly
withdraw from the House, as he had some
remarksto make. Mike withdrew but imme-
diately went up to the Speaker's Gallery,
whencelie heard his positon discussed by the
Afinister of Justice. Sir John gavo a recital
to the House of the events leading up to Con-
nolly's refusal. Ile said that if Connolly
kept the books in his own band and refused
toallowany one of the committee to see theui
be was complete master . of tho situation.
The witnees had not complied with the rules
of a court of justice at all. The books
were sealed books to the committee.
Sir John, therefore, moved that Mr. Con-
nolly be ordered to produce the books and
deliver them over to tha custody of the
Clerk of the House. He added that he had
intended to move that M..r. Connolly be
placed in the custody of the sergeant -at -arms
Instil the books were produced, but in view of
the statement that the books would be pro-
duced if the House so ordered he struck that
clause out of the resolution. The resolution
was adopted without discussion and the inci-
dent ended. In reply to Sir Richard Cart-
wright; Sir John Thompson said that assent
had been given to the production of more of
the papers connected with the trade nego-
tiations at Washington. He vvould make a
fuller statement on the point to -morrow, in-
dicating what the papers were and when
they would be produced. The House then
went into Committee of Supply. The House
passed the items $148,588 for Kingston peni-
tentiary and $53,803 for the Manitoba peni-
tentiary. Before adjourning Mr. Foster said
that if no extraordinary event occurred the

OTTAWA, June 17.—Mr, Abbott made the
official announcement to the Senate to -night
of the circumstances which led to the Gov-
ernor-General summoning him to form a
Cabinet. The statement was almost literally
the same as that which Sir Hector Laiagevin
read to the Commons yesterday.
In the Commons the ,Speaker took the
It '
chair at 3 o'clock. er. Laurier said he wished
to draw the attention of the leader of the
Government to the fact that no announce-
ment of the new Government's policy was yet
made. After a brief consultation with Sir
John Thompson Sir Hector clearly asstuned
the leadership by stating he would make
some' announcement on the point to-niorrosv.
Mr. Cockburn asked: (1) Have any contracts
been awarded in commotion with the erec-
tion of tlae drill shed in the city of Toronto t
If so, for what parts of the work and who
are the Contractors, (2) If any contracits
have been, awarded when lithe work to pro-
ceed? (8) Piave tenders been asked for the
other parts of the work yet? If ' not, when
will the Government advertise for tenders?
Sir Hector Laugevin said the contract for ex-
cavation has been awarded to Messrs. Davis
& Sons arid would be completed Aug. 1. No
tendershave been asked for the other parts
of the work yet but the Government would
advertise for tenders within eight or th n
days. . Mr. Macdonald (Huron) asked wheth-
er the attention of the Government had
been drawn to an order issued by the United
States Departmentof Agriculture, dated
May 10, 1801, quarantine; for 15 days lambs
and swine imported from Canada, the
reason assigned being the absepee of
quarantine by the Government of Canada
against the importation of sheep and swine
from Great Britain. Mr. Haggart said the
Government passed an order in -council on'
June 10 Po: f obis. I. .1 •
can be carried on. A intiv weeks ago
one hundred lambs which had beet fad
on the farm were shipped to England
and landed at Birkenhead. 02 this
shipment the Liverpool correspondent
of The Manchester Meat Trade Journal
says that a finer selection has seldom
been seen, while Aid. Frankland de-
clares that the condition of the lainbs
and the price at which they sold, viz :
17 acute per pound, will certainly give
an impetus to the lamb trade with Great
Britain. Should it be found that lambs
can be profitably exported to England,
our farmers will be in a position to snap
their fingere at Uncle Sam and his ab
surd regulation, recently imposed, of re -
!riving that Canadian lambs imported
into the United States shall remain in
quarantine at the border fifteen days
before bottle forwarded to their destinn-
time Lambs which will dress 75 pounds
each when one year old (and this can
easily be done) will find a ready market
in England. As to the breeds use the
Shropshire and Hampshire' and next to
these the Oxforddown andthe South-
down. The Canadian hen hes survived
the attacks made upon her life and use-
fulness and the prospect is that the
Canadian lamb will share equally well.
Our neighbors will probably learn by
and by that we are not absolutely de-
pendent upon them for life and being
and that while we would be pleased to
trade with them on honorable terms we
will neither beg nor truckle,
t t t
er, disconnected front each other and
cherishing rather the memory of early
trials than the hope of any assured
fortune; to -day this string has widened
out into a splentid zone of prosperous
provinces, which are steadily increasing
in wealth, in population, in power of
intercommunication, and in the develop-
ment of undreamed-of mineral and agri-
cultural vealth. Twenty-five years ago
Canada was largely depeadent upon the
• United States and England for her
manufactured goods; today her factories
are found in all her cities and towns,and
from being a mere consumer of the goods
which other countries produce, she is
every year taking a more prominent part
in helping to supply the world's needs.
The wisdom of the policy under -which
this development has taken place is vin-
dicated by the results. Whatever may
be said concerning the abstract principles
of protection and free trade, or however
philosophers may view them, it is evi-
dent that a young country which has
great natural wealth to safe -guard and
exploit for her own people must adopt a
protective tariff if she is even to become
more then a hewer of wood and drawer
of water for other natione, Those who
point to Ettgland as an instance of what
free trade can accomplish overlook the
fact thee free trade England is only of
yesterday and that many of her indus-
tries were born and nursed into strength
under very different conditions from
tho' e which prevail to -day. It is certain
that were England placed in the same
circumstances as Canada she would do
precisely the same as Capada has done.
In view of the great development that
has taken place and of the vast natural
resources of the country, it is not with-
out reason that Canadians should cherish
the belief that along these grand parallels
of latitude can 'he built up a nation

Hon.. G. E. Foster delivered his bud-

Tuesday, which was thorough in its con-
tents and gratifying to the country. A
clean sweep has been m ide of the duty
on raw Sieger, thus striking out $,3000,-
000 of revenue at one swoop. This had
become expedient in consequence of the
tariff changes in the -United States in
reference to sugar. The duty on raw
sugar was abolished by the McKinley
Bill in April last, since which time the
price of granulated has ranged at Boston
and New York about two cents a pound
below that of Montreal. A considerable
portion of the revenue derived by. the
Government on raw sugar can • be dis-
pensed with by the course of economy
in the public service that has been resole
ed upon. That which is requieed to be
made up has been apportioned chiefly
upon xnalt, spirits and tobacco. The
new duty of one cent per lb, on malt is
expected to yield 8500,000; the excise
on spirits of 20c cents per gallon, will
return $600,000 ; and 50 per lb. extra
on tobacco $400,000, making, $1,500,000
of the revenue on sugar winch has been.
sacrificed. The Prohibition party will
regard the additional tax on beer and
spirits as a concession to • their cause
which will not be without iufidence in
restraint of drinking, though for a time
trade calculations may go somewhat
awry. Tea and coffee are to remain free
of duty. It is the policy of the Adminis-
tration to maintain the breakfast table
exempt from the imports whioh had been
put on by the Liberals, but which was
stricken off in 1882. Yet there is harclly
any article of common use which, by
reason of the great reductioe in price of
late years, could stand a tax better than
tea. One source of complete general
satiefaction will be found in the deter-
minetion of the Government to enfo. c a
rigid economy in the conduct of affairs,
by which it may be contrived to Maine
