correspondent writing tothe•New'
York Tinfrom *London, givea his
opiaiori as to the cheap Of sentiment
towards_ the Free Trade policy in 14n1. 'L "R was only two or three
years ago," says theyriter, "that it was
hard to filed a man in Great Britain,
who wag not a professed free,trader."
This is evident from the fact th& . the
majority of the people hail been taught
that their '"vell-bog depended upor.
the acceptance of this policy and that
it was foolishness to suppose that any
other trade policy would be of any ser-
vice to the weary whateverFor the
past few moths• however, the people
are beginning to.think for themselves, '.
and • it has now become apparent, that
the people who.were so attached to free
trade are changing- in •thoin.opiuious
and are 110wa clivussing the advisability
of levying duties en imported articles
or ef forming reciprocal treaties with
other coatitries. No doubt England
had many good reasons for adopting
the 'principle of free trade at' the Ulna
it was accepted as the country's policy.

We are told by the reporters of the
St, John Telegraph that Mr limiting -

with Lord 9arnarvon to ,build tie 11

Columbia, In 1876 he advertised for
a company to build the railway under
termsof the Lot of 1874,. repeating
the advertisement in 1878: Just before
the election, he invite& tandem for the
construction ofthe Yale-Xamloeps sec-
tion, the building of which was after-
wards so bitterly denounced by Mr.
Blake. And in his despatch. to Lord
Carnarvon th stated that the Goverue
went bad increasedthe taxation by
three millions of dollars annually,. in
order to enablethem to build the railway,
that sum being at least three hundred
thouiand per annum more)ba the pres-
ent contract involves. Thea6 facts are
simply a brief summary of the policy
of. Mr; Mackenzie on the Pacific Rail-
way, andrit‘ must have been charming
to bear Mr. Huntington explaining and
defending it as a complement to Mr,
illake's attack upon that of the present
,
Gov =neat. Those who know Mr.
Han ington best, however, have grave
doubt about his having explained the
policy of Mr. Mackenzie, for the best of
alt reasons, that, °Armagh a, member of
the Government, be knew uothiegaand
cared less about what the policy was.—
