Tan debate on the 'Budget,. and_par-,
ticularly the, Tariff and the prosperitlx.
of the country in ounswiluence of it
working, will, no doubt, have ,been
read with interest by most of o•ur
rea:ders. ,Next, to the Syndicate 'bar-
gain, this has been the most important
0 -discussion of the Session. The debate
on both sides was animated, .aid in
some cases bitter and • hostileleelings
were shown, 'Sir R. J. Cartwright, in Ids
speech, seemed not to be in the interest;r
of the people, but for the purpose of
showing himself hostile to the Govern,
ment. Mr. Charlton, of Norfolk, in
his address, assumed a very altered
tone from previous occaaions.. .No
•
,man could use worse language against
the N. P. than did Mr. Charlton, but
this gentleman very midestly intimates
now, that should the Grit Party head the
•
polls, the National Policy will be in
no danger, as they will 'submit to the.
National will and protect vested
rights. fl'n fact, in reading all ,the,
Oppositionllebates, no mistake can lie -
made in arriving at their conclusion.
Straws show which way the wind
blows.
ther, I venture the assertion that you
*111 find more of the sons and daughters
of our farmers in highergradea of schools
and collegiate institutions, mere eftlyem
the advanced classes sat these institu-
tione, than at any other ,perical of our
history1 am not a fmancier, Mr.Edit
or, but if Iread the figures of the dif-
ferent Loansnatettee aright, I think
ifeelear Matt the farm property of the
Dominion not only did not go into debt
last year as is usual, but aomucli greater
amotutt of indebtedness waspaid off
than for some years past. Sir Richard'
bas a perfect right to his opinion, but
until he learns to appreciate facts
greatly fear that statements made by
him will not much influence public
opinion, save in the direction of making,
thiuking people look upon him as a mere
anisantliropical theorist or dreamy sleep-
eer. Everybody knows, sees, and feels
that times are better aince the National
Policy Was inaugurated, The most ex -
promo free-traders admit it, but they
contend that the change in the tariff has
nothing to do with it, In common
with. most people, I say under the .elti
tariff the country pined and suffereat
under the new it prospers.. If the tariff
has nothing to do with it, it is passing
..strange that the cluieqe .of times should
occur at tia same peraod as the (lenge
of tariff. •

the Orange Bills wereugaln introduced,.

last year; the rices of butter and
cheese had alse'been increased, and the
'farmers were, indeed making money,
They were able to get luxuries now;
they were able to- educate their children
and to send them to the High Schools.
In a few years, if th�. present state of
things continued, the majority of the
reresentatives in this House, instead of
being lawyers—of whom there were
too many in Parliament at present—
would be honest, sturdy, well-educated
yeomen, '(Applause.) To -day the
people could' tind employment. A. lum-
berman told me the other day that he
could not get al 4 the men he wanted,
Then there were fewer bankrupts, and,
fewer bankrupt stocks now, He -would
like in view ,of this improvement in
business, to ask if we were payiug too
dearly for it. Were the farmers pay-
ing more for their tea, sugar and
clothing' than befdre7 He had been a
close observer of these things, and lie
had found that grocery sugar was a
shade Cheaper than it was before, and
that in other lineEi, there had been • no
increase. The farmers were thoroughly
satisfied with the prices; and Buyer in
the entire history of Canada, had better
value been given for the metier. An
evidenUe of the general improvement
in trade was tobe found in the circular
of a Toronto wholesale firin—and by
n� means a conservative .firm. either-
- whieb stated that to -day money was in
free circulation, that business was good,
that the prospect was most encouraging,
and that the insolvencies during the
past year had been only 907, with loss-
es to the'amount. of -eight millions, as
against 1,892 in 1877, with losses runn-
ing up to. twenty-five millions, He,
would be a bold man, who would tell.
him that 143000 extra .workinell, repro.-
smiting- 42,000 months, were tot a
benefit to the -country. • ' (Hear, hear.)
It were as reasonable to say that• the
sunsbine was not.beneficial; and that
the rain -drops were of nO • use. .(flear,
hear.) Thesepeople purchased cabbages,
:onions, and a hundred other valuable
*diets of our. farms; and ;played a.
great part ,in bringing about thtil pro-
ent happy state of things. (Applause.)

not • better after the good .crnp' f .187.7.
