FRIDAY, JAN. 26, 1$67,
THE DUTY OF THE 13OU1t.
;,The Dominion Parliament has been dis-
'solved, and a new election will be held on
the 22ad of February next. There never
was a time in the history of Canada more
important to the taxpayers elan the pre-
sent, and their decision on the acts of the
overnme'nt will be for weal or woe to the
°minion.
The present election will be the most
momentous one in the history of Canada,
because it will be• either an approval of a
system of corruption and a record of miss
government never before known, or itjwill
be a condemnation ofi the same. flow
professedly honest and intelligent men
can continue to support a, government
which has shown itself se _entirely uu•
worthy of public confidence, is Inoreathan
. we can understant. There is hardly a
single act of the Government's Test re-
cord, upon which it is fairly entitled to
support, and the more th r'Stecord is in-
vestigated the less worthy of favorable
consideration does it appear. We know
there are honest men in the Conservative
party who do not approve of the actions
of the Dominion Government, and it be-
oomes their duty, as it is the duty of every
one who has the interests of the country
truly at heart, to unite in supporting only
those then who will honestly administer
6omo Wise Oaring* i f the Celestials That
Apply .rho World Over.
There seem tole very few European
proverbs which have not been parallelled
in the Flowery Kingdom, and indeed
it makes the world appear smaller than
ever when ono finds that the Chines°, a
couple or ten thousand years ago, thought
and saiki the same things that our antes-'
tors crystallized into proverbs uuder such
differing conditions. Mr. Giles says of
the Chinese -proverbial philosophy:
" Moat Western pro verbs, unaxinis,house-
hold words, eft°., are to be found em-
bedded therein; sometimes expressed in
strictly identical terms, at other times
differing only in poiut of local color.

"PROTECTION" TO THE FARMERS.
The Munti'cal Witness has the repute-
- tion Of being the most liberally couducted
paper in Canada, and its views on " Pro-
tectien to the Farmer," in the following
-article are worthy of consideration : •
Says the Witness :—" The protection
given to the farmers Might become a curse,
instead of a blessing," is what the Gazette
thinks. Yes, it'" might." . There is, in-
deed, no doubt whatever about it,although
the Gazette is so dubious about it. When
the farmer's agricultural implements,
, waggons, and other farm machinery are
taxed thirty -live per cent, when his cloth•
in and that of his stock- is taxed from
thirty to sixty per cent, when land plaster
is taxed thirty per cent, and his furniture
thirty per cent, and his sugar two cents a
• pound, and his cottons two or three cents
a yard ; when in return for all this he is•
protected by 'a duty of fifteen cents a bush-
. el on wheat, and ten cents en peas, and
• twenty per cent on. animals, and by half
a dozen other similar duties, all levied
with great care, on articles exported by
k, him in large quantities', and which there -
foredo not bring a cent more for all the
protection, it is certainly not only possible
but something more for a national policy
_ to be a curre•to the farmer, and a curse
that makes his pockets annually lighter
by a good ninny dollars.
Fon the Dominion elections men may
vote in as'i i;wy different ridings as they
like, provided they have property there.
The principle of " one man one vote" only
'applies 1s•the Local election,.

There is abundance of shrewdness and
homely wisdom in these and scores more
of Chinese proverbs and sayings given
by Mr. Giles, and in many of the speci-
mens of literary style there is an elegance
and evidence of ripe culture which in-
dicate that fully a thousand years ,ago
China had attained a placein literature
such as no Western nation attained until
