'E120TECTION IN E14 4N11.
few foolish. and discontented people
in England are striving to raise a cry for
protection, but as yet have not pointed
out the way it is to be carried. out. A
speaker at one gathering did advise the
imposition of one shilling a quarter on all.

i The idea of imposing a duty on food is
just as foolish as it would be for Parlia-
ment to snake coal dearer if it had the
power, for one is as necessary as the other
to enable the country to manufacture so
eheDply as to succesfully 'compete with
other nations. In the British House of
Commons on Friday last, Mr. 'Ritchie, a
conservative, introduced a resolution with
reference to this question, and in the
course of his remarks admitted that pro-
tection would be of no benefit whatever
to the manufacturers. Au idea is prevalent
to some extent, in Canada, .thet United
States manufacturers send:artieles, espe
cially cutlery,to. Englandriatmitris entirely
erroneous. There Has been it few attempts

Much has already been said by 11Xinis-
terialists as to the intended liberality of
the Syndicate in nettling ,with the interests
of the northwest but every movement that
has been made by them since they entered'
into possession of that ]nagnifieent
country, very plainly indicates their de-
$erminati4li to rule with an iron hand, and
allow no opportunity whereby a pecuniary,
advantage may be secured, to slip by un
improved,. The latest 'transaction of this
haraeter-is-their decisionia_reference to' g
the selling of land wherein. they announce
that they will:reserve for the • present all
seceniis immediately on.th`canaiu line or

of laid -but towns or possible junctions, and
any lands that may be required for railway
purposes,. as well mineral, wood and
coal lands, and sectionawith water -power
thereon, '
TJnder these 'regulations if a settler
wishes to purchase land, he cannot get it,
though willing to .pay for it, immedi-
ately on the line of railway, but must
go back intb the country where his.
facilities for communicatign with the
business world will be very small,
and his prospectsef getting land then are
exceedingly. slim, because of the many
" reserves" he has to pass over. Tbatthe
Syndicate have the biggest kind of a ,mo-
nopoly
nopoly in the northwest is becoming more
apparent every day;'hind the people of the
northwest are getting their .eyes open to
the fact, • and Ivo ezpeot they, will sooner
later rise in their might in the endeavor
to•throw off the, terrible burden thai op
presses them_; but such • a. firm: hotel s ill

that countenances this ignorant demand

readers see how independent " and non-

A unvention of the'banlicre of the United

another petiod of patio and depression. Tuck

Finance Minister of Canada snakes his servile'

The. Globe is displaying 1e commendable and
Unusual amount of enterprise just now, in the
attention and epee Has devoting to Canadian
epecialties, but the addresses presented to
Lord Lorne, in his tour through the north.
west, should be struck out of the report. The
"address" busitiesa has been sadly overdone,
and an address ie nearly the same the .world
tion of the. Upperilouse, aed'if the pride
of the latter should urge it ofi toga. contest
with the foiiner,,there wonldbe the most
lively political strogggle that England has
seen for niany.'c,day'.' Gladstone will, no
doubt, try to carry his Land Bill through,.
without resorting to any extreme mea-
sures,'but it he does not succeod he will
either create a sufficient number of peers
of hisownviews in politics to carry it
through the Honse' of Lords, or he will
dissolve the House and have a new. elec-
tion, making the abolition' of the heredi-•
-tary'house a prominent plank in his Plat -
form, As the population oftheeitiesarid

ly. enable Gladstone to carry the measure.
For the neat three or four months -politi-
cal 'events .in England will bo ofa very
interesting character, and will be watched
very closely by the reading public of this
'country.
Since the above was written, the posi—
tion of affairs has been somewhat improv-
ed.:. ' On Tuesday, ;in the House of. Lords,
,'alisbury stated that the: Opposition
would not' take anyaction which would
send 'the Land Bill back to the Commons,:
-whish had removed its dangerous excre-
scences. He ekRtressed the hope that the
Bill would be a great benefit. to the ten-
ants and not much harm to the landlords'.
The �Lords .then agreed to the amendments
Of the Commons. ' ,
