pat at a standstill. There is mush clic.
e cession of the prospects of legislation in
favor of new slates. It is far from cer-
tain that the majority will not yet split
on the question. The policy pressed by
Mr. Springer is for the admission of as
e many territories as possible, and, doubt-
less, the frionds•of the omnibus bill will
resit the acimisoiou. of Dakota if New
Mexico ie not admitted also. Tho°lianame
of New Mexico being admitted do not
appear great, and an agreement is doubt-
ful. Enough Democrats, however, have
made op their minds that South Dakota,
Montana, and Washington territory
should be admitted to assist the Repub.
limns in the admission of all or any one
of them. Mr. Cox is the champion in
the Demooratie party of rho territories,
regardless of politics, and will do all he
can in the interest of each of them iu-
dependently of the rest. Ile is receiving
letter's constantly from the people in th0
territories, placing their 0x00 in hie
hands, and praying him to 0e0 that none
of them suffer horn partism0hip in tate
House. If the omnibus bill passes the
House, is amended in the Stuuta and
gets iota e ,uf'relu)', Air, Cox fee,' smo
that mane of the territories will be ad-

will move for a new conference and do

of it.
When the eon b ,ration of the tariff
was resumed in the Senate it was evident
that the Domoctatio Senators had not
devoted tho holidays entirely to ream
ation, and Heat the liepnblican Senators
will object to any anendlneuts which
they do not themselves submit or 311111011
are not striotly in a000rd with the theory
upon which their bill is based. The
neee0:eity for oenciliating every Senator
on the Republican side of the Chamber
will compel the managers of the bill to
submit a number of amerndmouts insist-
ed upon by their Repnbliaan colleagues,
but they do not caro to make known in
advance what these atnendmonts are, be.
eanss that would be to amuse a demand
for hearings by representatives of special
interests.
Wednesday three pages and a half of
the bill were disposed of. The Demo-
crats continued to offer amendments
lowering the rate of duties on different
articles and ohangiug the charges from
specific to alvalor0m, bet were defeated
in every ease by a strict party vote.
Senator McPherson made a very earnest
plea in favor of lowering the duty on

Senator Pugh, of Alabama, in dieouss-

Srn. Natwithstr.nding the little emus
of my friend Mr. llouald about my little

failed to 0.111iweO toy latter, Sneers are
not arguments, and 1 do not intend to re.
sort to them. Protection never hag, nor
never can make any country rich all
prosperous. It is one part of the popula.
tion subsisting upon the industry of the
other and tho chief cause of disoontent
and unrest now existing in Canadian
polities; as well might the village of
Brussels hope to be enriched and become
Ia great city by producing everything
within themselves at whatever cost to its
inhabitants. I am proud, however, to
bo in mord with tho greatest, most lib-
eral, progressive and on:ightened states -
owe and nation on the fano of this earth.
The policy whi0h has made Britain great
and powerful, were the people of this
country sufficiently enlightened to adopt
it, would do the same for us. There 14 a
prevalent idea that the restrictive polioy
of Gm oo0ntry is aimed chiefly to exclude
American goods from our markets. The
Canadian and Amerioangovernmsnts are
protootive. Their great end is to exolude
the exports of Greet 33aitatn, but the
chief burden the farmer and working
man has to boar 1n taxation Is the ammo.
ons duties levied upon British geode.

everything imported into this country
from the States, the Yankees pay the
dutyand
could
they not resist the n
tet ..
Witte of go ting 9400 or 9500 out of
Unall Sam, and putting it into the Do-
minion treasury. In 1887 there were
Tiro liogines imported into this country
6 from Britain and 2 from the United
States. Cu the 6 from Britain, valued at
$10,561, there was a duty pairs of 42,010 ;
the two Amerioon eugiues were valued
at $2,500, on which a duty was paid of
9800, or a -total of $3,400. That was
under a clary of 25 par cent., s1n00 the
15t11 of May hast the duty was raised to
35ler oent. This is what Mr. Rouald
oats a step in rho right direotioo but bo
thiuks 100 per cent. about perfect, but
what of the poor struggling ratepayer:
who is compelled to pay the increased
price he is enabled to put upon his on-
gm00 by protection ?
The proto0tiouist0 of this country, and
of the United States with their respective
901100 neente, are using every vile meansto exclude the produce of Britain from
both countries. Tho ono by cultivating
hatred to Britain, the other by hatred
to Americana through their organs, with
no nobler purpose than to extract by a
high tariff a higher prime for their pro.
dna, from the pookets of their deluded
victims. Tho iroteativo tariff of Bri-
tain 50 or 70 years ago did not make her
great in toed° or commerce. In 1815
nutter Protection Briti01, exports wore
540,000,000. In 3.810, still muter Pro-
bation, they were exactly the sane. Ito
the next 40 years muter Free Trade they
amonni,ed up to 10212,000,000. I advaoate
Free Trade for this country because it is
based upon moral principal, protection is
based upon iniquity. Take away the
support they receive through the advan-
tages proteotioniste obtain from a high
tariff and they would not continuo a any.
This is no more sentiment for British
0onn80ti011, numb es I value it and dearly
as 1 bye my native oonntry, :Clove Can-
