Its a result of the South African
Wai, there is an enormous deficit in
the English treasury, apd a slight
system ot duties are prcposed .n order
to meet I he same. They are not in
the nature of protective duties,' but
affect only sugar and coal,_ The new
sugar. duty., which the British con -
sonnets will have to pay. amounts to
about l cent per. pound, which Is equal
to half the rate levied in the United
States. The worst feature about it is
that the British importers haye laid in
enough sugar to supply the country
for many months,thus rutting intopri-
vate pockets a large amount of money
that ought to go into the public trea-
sury. The export duty of I shilling per

the import duty on sugar. It is

conditional five Year contract to take
$0,.000 tem of steel rails a year, the
.price this year being $82.50 per ton.abd
subsequent year's supplies to be "at
current English prices." It was con-
tended that the contrace was made in
a falling Market. but. seeing that the
firm of Mackenzie & Mann are now
paying $35 per ton for their rails, the
price paid by the government does not ,
give evidence of any impropriety,

in their mother Longue. There's `no,
thing improper in the circniar; it
singles out no nationality, but Mt Cote

the Opposition grasped this fact as an
evidence that he wanted to swell. the

. The discussion on immigration'par
ticipated in chiefly by members from
the Northwest, brought out several in-
teresting facts, in refutation of un- ,
founded stories_which had been circu-
lated, chiefly concerning the Dukhor
bore. ...Mr McCreary, formerly irami-
'gration commissioner at Winnipeg.
and a man of wide experience, pointed
out that they were a most desirable
eless of settlers; clean in their methods
of living, moral in habits, religious in
character, industrious iri their work,
and very desirous of acquiring English
Methods and language. One of the
charges made against them was their
unwillingness to take up arms and -go
to war, but in view of the fact that
this is it recognized principle among
the Society of Friends (or Quakers)
there is .practically no force in this.
Another was that theydid not observe
the marriage bond, and thie, as the
other charges against them, Mr Mc-
Creary proyed to be incorrect. The
debate showed that while only a few
immigrants had come from some indi,
vidualcountrierethe total was consider-
ably more than in other years. and all
were brought in at much smaller met
per bead thaa at any previous time.
One feature of the trend of iramigrte,
tion is the large number of settlers
who are doming in from the Western
States, it being necessary to run -spe-
cial trains to accomodate them,
Nicholas Flood Davin is writing his-
torical and parliamentary sketches for
the Toronto News, and no one will
charge him with undue friendliness to
the Liberal party, But in one of his
letters he "gives,away" the late Sir
John A. Macdonald. Liberate have al-
ways contended that Sir John was not
it protectionist at heart, but that he
adopted the principle ablely as an ex-
pedient by which he might get back
Into towel. The Conservatives have
resented this view of their old leader's
principles. Well, if they want to be
convinced that the Liberals wereright,
they will find the proof in one of
Davin% letters last week. He states
PPenly that Sir John WWI not it pro-
tectionist; that he adopted it simply as
&rallying ery.hut finding that it"eaught

and became a protectionist solely on
the ground of expediency.
