Panic ancl Its Lieesons for Canada, There can be little doubt that the Panic now prevailing in the United Stetes de due, at least partially, to three causee-1st, the silver law, 2nd, the very heavy tax on American Industry; a 3rd, the fear of capitalists that the Democratic administration under Cleve- land, iv trying to undo what they claim to have been injuries caused by extreme protection, will.go to the other extreme of free trade so suddenly as to jeopard- ize all the financial interests of the country. Under protection the United States prospered as no other country in the world ever did, and an enormous amount of money was ioyested in var- ious enterprises incidentalto the develop- ment of the country and its trade Capital is proverbially timid, and the fear engendered by the election of a free tcade achxdnistration that the con- ditions under winch capital was invested would be suddenly altered has caused moneyed men to withdraw their invest- ments. Hence the panic from whieh the country Buffers results not ao much from tlae financial unsoundness of the country, for the country has become very wealthyunderproteetion, as from the fear that the Democrats may make such violent changea in the tariff as will reault in injurinre vested interests, That the panic has occurred may be but a blessing in disguise if it minces the President and his cabinet to refrain from the tariff mashing, which they seemed bent upon, and the indications really are that any changes he may make with free trade in view ultimately must be but very slight at present. Little by little the high tariff wall may be taken down and free trade brought abont gradually without serious injury to any business Interest of the country. The °Weave platform of taxation for revenue only does not necessarily demand instant "tariff smash" The States have natural debt to pay off, which they ex- pect to pay by the end. of the century, as well as a large pension list to meet. these will require large revenues for some years. The country has pronounced in ' favor of the principle of free trade, it is true but in order to keep faith with the people and show his free trade principles Cleveland need da nothing further than prevent any increase of the tariffprepara- tored,to commencing. the worle of pulling it down, just as a moving train must come to a standstill before it commences to move backward. In fact, it begins •to look as if Cleveland is not able and has no intention to do any- thing more than bring the protection train to' a full stop, and leave to his zuccessors the work of reversing the engine. The lesson for Canada appears to be this: that were the Liberal party, • with its tariff -smashing propensities, to get into power, public confidence would thereby be injured here as by Cleve- land's election it has been in the States, and we should have here a duplication of the injuries that have resulted from business difficulties there. As THE Trusshaa repeatedly shown, the ex- penditure of Canada cannotbe vretteedelly reduced by any government, Liberal or Conservative. Hence, should a party get into power with a free trade policry, we would witness the collapse of every important industry of the country from eheorlear of a change involeing the abandonment of protection, while we would also bring about national bank- ruptcy by the destruction of two-thirds of our revenues, The United States will in time no doubt reach free trade, but until they commence to remoye the :roping stones of their wall, it will be wisdom on our part to leave our tariff emetically intact, however long they nay be in commencing the work tnd they will hardly be free to be- tide in earnest before they pay off their iational debt, and extinguish their )(melon list, say by the end of the con- ury. NOTES 'AND tCOM1VIENTS Verne curiously Hon, Mr. IVIer. cier is "starring it" he the United States advocating the independeuce of Canada. It is hard to see what he can be after, but it would not be a bad idea ifOntario •should take him at his word, eud in arrauging a basis for independeuce, in - met that each province shallpay its way instead of being helped, as it now is, Out of the Dominion treasury, to whieh Quebec contributes little or nothing because its people buy very little that pays duty. They weave their own clothe, tan their own leather, wearknitted caps, use but little tea or sugar, use wooden carts with wooden springs, and held. to- gether by wooden peg% wooden plows with wooden mould boards; they cut their grain with sickles instead. of reap- ers and mowers. smuggle their whiskey from the Miquelon Islands, and their brandy from 'trance. In short, the average store bill of a FrenclaCanadian farmer is ten or twelve dollars a year, sometimes more, sometimes less; so that while they pay almost nothing towards maintaining the Dominion, they get out of the treasury as mochas Ontario does, raan for man. The exceptional advant- age thus possessed by French Canada should not be forgotten by Mr. Mercier. It would serve the discontented French right to take them seriously. It would be money in the pockets of the Ontario farmers, and the „French would then have to abolish the tithe and fabrique assessment in self-defence, and compel the Catholic Church of the province to subsist as the Catholicchurch of Ontario does, by the voluntary contributions of its adherents. Much of an exhibition's success or failure depends 'upon the capability and honesty of those giving the awards. Honesty, freedom from prejudice, and a thorough knowledge of the class of stock to be judgetlare all necessary, and the presence of only one of these quali- ties without the others in a man is not sufficient to entitle him to act in the capacity of a judge. Only persons pos. ;eased of a combination of these differ ent requirement; can properly fill this important position. Every one recog- nizes the great advantages to be derived frorn an exhibition where the best atock •and farm products ofa township, ;Minty or proyince are in competition, and is fully aware of the great injury that would be done to such an exhibition were the impression to get abroad that exhibitora were not likely to receive justice when competing for prizes. With all due respect to those who have acted as judges at our exhibitions in the peat, we feel safe in stating that no one can attend our shows from year to year without finding out that occasionally persons net as judges who do not suf- ficiently understand their business, and consequently make incorrect awards, We have known caaos of men who have judged sheep and swirl° at our exhibi- tions who could scarcely di.stinguish one breed from another. Nothing will undermine an exhibition so quickly as injustice and unfairness in the giving of awards, and nothing will build up an exhibition upon a, surer and firmer foundation than, the knowledge thabnot merely the principal prizes, but also every prize given is warded by honesb and competent judges solely on the merits of the exhibit. Wo wish to re- mind all exhibition directors connected in any way with the appointing of jud- ges that injustice does occasiontlly creep in; that every time it does so the exhibition is injured very materiall and that if they wish to build up the fair upon a firm basis judges must h rend cautiously selected, so that th awards will be fairly given, thus leavin exhibitors with no just cause for coni into line with the new movement, The) result will be to place the dairy bum - THE 111PERIAL PARLIAIENT neas of the entire coml.-toy, on a sounder basis and render it mere profitable to 2,2eneteneil, zrazza, inscus. all concerned. se..1) TZLH Tiflk'ACEO.E.S.

Lonsoic, Aug, 1,— Replying in the House of Commons yesterday ton question asked by the Hon. George Curson, Conser- vative, tiir Edward. Grey, Parliainentoey Secretary of the Foreign Office, said that he was unable to give exact imformation re- garding the blockade of the Siamese coas4 ' and the occupation of several Wanda by the French. It was understood, however, that the occupation a the islands was only tenmorary, being in some way connected with the leockading operations. It did not appear that any British vessels had Imen eeized by the French. The in- formation at band showed that two or three Britieh vessels had been slopped under a misapprehension, Prime Minister Gladstone, replying to a question asked by Mr. John Lloyd Whar- ton, Conservative, which question was prompted by the hand to hand conflict that occurred in the House last Thursday night, said that, doubtless, it would be for the general. convenience of the House and in the interest of good order it an arrangement should be arrived at by means of which the supporters of the Government and the mem- bers of the Opposition might aft on oppesite sidea of the House. Mt, Gladstone added that 1,e had no power in the matter. Mr. William Hunter, _Liberal then asked if Mr. Gladstone bad takeo into censidera- tion the injury done to the honor and dig- trity of the House, and if the assaults com- mitted by members on Thursday evening were to be allowed to pass withoub punish. ment being inflioted upon the offender, He also inquired when action world, he taken if ho moved the appointment of a committee to inquire into and report on the matter.

Fielter, Conservative, with reference to hie assault upon Mr. dohn William Loan, Liberal member for South Leices. tershire. He suggested that Mr. Logan be permitted to reply to Mr. Fisher's state. meet. Speuker Peel said he thought, it would conduce to a peaceful solution of the mate ter if both Mr. nigher and Mr. Logan ad- dressed the House, Mr. Fisher, amid cries of "Logan," "Logan," arose and expressed deep regret for the part he had token in the affray. Mr. Bogen then emphatically denied that he had intended todaesenit anyone and said that be deeply regretted that he had been concerned in the affair. Mr. Gladstone said that the explanations 'were eatiefactory to hirn and he hoped the metter would be allowed to drop. The Rt, Hon. A. J. Balfour and Mr. Justin McCarthy also expressed themselves as satisfied. MotieCarthy, however, pro -- tested against the idea that therow was duo to the Irisb members. DISCUOSING THE FIGHT, --- Otembein Advised it HxourtioniSts To lirake iv Pugilist Chairman °filo House,. LONDON, .Aug. L—The fight in the House of Commons hes been a subject be- side which all questions of national and in- ternationel policy have appeared trivial to the unofficial political world of London. The partisan newspapers print columns to prove that the other party did it, and accu- sations, little less bitter than those heard in the House, are being exchanged _on edi- torial pages. The Speaker is one of the few publica- tions voicing the best sense of the country. After denouncing, without partisan bias the Parliamentary disturbers it demands that the House "vindicate As 'honor by purging itself of the traitorous orimina•s who struck the first blows." This demand is exceedingly difficult of fulelmene: The fight was so general and in many quarters so spontaneous that in most casea it was almost impossible to name the aggressor& • Many more members than eaual went out Friday to take tea on the Thames embank- ment that they might free themselves from recollections of the precediug night, They did not get the expected relief. The pas- sengers on the river excursion boats pes- tered them with taunts and derisive cheers and advised them to make Prize Fighter "Jem" Smith Cheirman of tile Rouse, It required only about an hour for this banter to °leer the terrace. Keen sympathy ie felt for Mr. Gladstone. He did not have his glasses during the fight and was not aware, therefore, of nine -tenths of what was happening. He heard the yells and saw a confusion of struggling forms. Otherwise lie knew only what the other Ministers hastily told him. His sorrow was evident when he replied yesterday le 'Yr. Hunter's request that a cern tnitt ee appointed to enquire into the fight. He .,oke with trembling voice, and during his Irdst sentences could hardly con- trol his emotion. The general opinion is that the Vittoria court-martiel added nothing essential to whati was already known. The Radical press alone has violated the maxim de mortuis nil nisi bonnm, to speak to the one point, wbich, although in everybody's mind, bas been officially ignored. Why, asked the Radical newspapers, did the court- martial omit the one all-important ques- tion, "Were Vice -Admiral Tryon's faculties obscured by any cause not immediately under his control?" Tender regard for the mei/eery of a favorite commander is 'well enough, say the Radical editors, but what is the personal character' of one brave sailor when such a terrible lose of life as, that at Tripoli is in question? The great strike of English coal miners is doing all the harm expected from it and more too. More than 250,000 men are now out. Coal prices have risen, despite all statements concerning an overstocked mar- ket, and many iron works and factories are running short of fuel and must stop operations unless the supply be increased. A. few factory owners have already given notice that they must close their concerns within a week or two. The Independenee Beige ridicules the story of The Pail Mall Gazette that ets "special commissioner" has found. the thief, who, about 15 years ago, Stole from Thomas Agnew et Sons Gainsborough's portrait of the Duchess of Devonshire. Adam Wirth, whom The Pad Mall designated as the thief, was merely hoax- ing a man who,called to talk with him as -to his wife's fortune, says the Belgian jdurnal, when he made the alleged con- fessicn. ie laughed' heartily when in- formed that The Pall Mall had taken him seriously. awasmsionsamrsisamissosonsaasommaampammosassiosmoimpsomiamow.
