• The Opposition and. Protection.
We last week showed by extracts
from their public speeches, the incon-
sistency of the leaders of the Opposi-
tion in their advocacy of Protection. '
We shall now proceed to prove their in- '
L' •
sincerity. As an exeuse for their in-
consistency the presei4 "National
Polic.y " advocates assure es that there
was not the scone neceealty fOr Protec-
tion. when Sir John Macdonald was ire -
power that there is now, because then
the American war had just terminated
and the resources of the ,United States
were so exliauste - that the .Amerioan
people consumed all their own peodacts,
• . but that ROW the American production
more than eqeals the AMOriCall de-
mand, and that the 'surplus is " slavgh-
tered " in the Canadien market to . the f
great detriment of the Canadianinanu-
facturer. Int order, however, to melte
this excuseteneble they must prove that i n
the Canadian` manufacturer was then a'
subject to less foreign competition than
he is now. This they cam not do. The h
. Oficial returns show that the imports . e

'John's rule.' It matters not to the Can- ! e

er protection in 1873 then 171- per cent.
with gold at par in 1878. We leave
it for anytreadez, be he- Conservative
or Reformer, Prefectiothst or Free
Trader, to say whether or not he can
conscientiously believe these parties are
honest in their professions when they
endeavor to delude the people inathis
way ? • Does- any person bialieve the,
when Sir John Macdonald kefused to
give the manufacturers of the country
more than 15 per cont., he is honest in
his promises now to give them 30 per
ceat., although they have very math
Iasi foreiga competition to contend with?
We do not believe there ia a man in the
county of Huron who will, in view of
these facts, eleliberately say that he be-
lieves Sir John even intends to try to
• carry Out what he promises. Why not,
• then* once turn awayfrom viewing the
allurements .of the deceiver and those
who assist him in practising his decep-
tions ? That a very large majority of
-the people will clo so' when the time for
them to be heard arrivee, we feel- fully
convitmed. „
To still further show the hollownes
of the protection professions of the Op
position, -we have !only to look at the
'matter in another light. They profess`
to desire a tariff that will protect man-
ufacturers from foreign competition.
• 'This means the utter exclusion of
foreign importsand consequently the
, • abandonment of the revenue derived
from duties. The annual - reveille° de-
rived from goods imported into this
country amounts to $12,000;000. Now,
if the Opposition are sincere -in the ad-
vocacy of this policy, they must reiy
have sour scheme matured wher y
they propose to replace this deficiency
in revenue. Why do they not take the
public iuto their confidence so far as to
acquaint them with what this scheme
is? The public have a right to know,
and the Opposition leaders have -fre-
quently been challenged to Make it pub -
1c. They have been advocating pro-
tectiou new for over two years, they
ask the people to place them in power
on the strength of their advocacy of this
'principle, and yet they refase to say
&finitely what articles they propose to
protect, what degree of protector' they
propose to give, or in what way they

city. But they .received. :o orders t
that effect. We will not say that Mr,
Mackenzie hoped for a riot that would
`stamp down all local authorit and per-
haps -lay the best part of the city i
ashes. Such an event, happening as
would under a Conservative local Gov
enamel* Would be a trump card fo
Mr. Mackenzie, but it would be a vei
dangerous card to play. More the
that, we de net think Mr. Maekenzi
could be capable of the deliberate fiend
'sinless which such a policy would re-
quire. But the fact remains that With
Alexander Mackerezie Prime Minister,
and Edward Blake Minister of Justice,
an unoffendiug and unarmed Orange-
man was shot down like a, dog in broad
daylight in the streets Of Montreal, and
his murderer is still unpunished. The
blood of poor Hackett Hes at Mexander
Mackeuzie's door. e The subsequent
failure of justice can be traced to but
one somne—the indifference, if not
worse, of _the man whom the coun-
try had entrusted with its adrniuistra-
.
ton.'
S A. meerier, more malicious, and more
- 'untruthful accueation than is contained
. in this extract,' against Mr. Mackenzie,
never appeared in print. The journal
which is so lost to all sense of shame
and decency as to publish such a dia-
bolical libel. • knowing it to be such,
• simply to stir up the worst pa,ssions and
prejudices of a certaire class against a
Political opponent, should eot be toler-
ated in e respectable community. The
writer of the above knows very well, if
he knows ane-itlfing at all, that the Gov-
ernment hadano more power to prevent
the Montrealfriot than he himielf had.
He also knows that, under a law passed
by his own_ political friends, the Gov-
ernment were'prevented iaterferiug, ex-
cept 'on a requisition from the Montreal
civic authorities. He also knows that

ment had every preparation made to
quell the riot referred to and to prevent
any disturbance, aud that they notified
the Montreal authorities to that effect,
but those authorities failed to comply

Eastern. Affairg
The Congress for the settlement of
the Eastern Queetion is still in session.
`Several minor matters have already
been settled by the Commissions. Some
difficulty is anticipated over the ar-
rangement of the 'boundary of Eastern
Roumania, but the subject of the Gov-
ernment of Asiatic Turkey, and. the
navigation of the Danube and of the
Dardanelles, are the important matters
now awaiting discussion. Four, or at
most six, sittings will terminate the
work of the Congress, when the Com-
mission appeinted to draw up the final
treaty of the peace will submit that ht-
strument clause by clause., Peace is
considered certain at Constantinople,,
,and G -en. Tocileben is reported to be
making arrangements for the with-
drawal to Adrianople pf the Russian
troops now in the neighborhood of the,
Ottoman capital.
• The Austrian army that will occupy
Bosnia and the Herzegovinawill consist
of 140,000Lmen, and will cross the frou-
tier upon 'the close of Congress. The
Porte has stipulated as a condition
upon which it will accord its assent to
the occupation that the duration of
the Austrian stay iu the two principal-
ities be limited to two years, but the
Vienna Government has declined to be
hampered by any such restriction.
At one of the recent meetings of the
Congress, Count Schouvaleff brought up
the question of the employment of In-
dian troops in Europe, and it was sub-
sequently decided that the matter was
worthy of consideration by a special
Congress called for that purpose.

• —On Wednesday morning of last
week a daring outrage was perpetrat d
on the Grand Trunk night express a
few- mike west of . Stratford, whic
however, failed in its object. An Au.
trian gentleman, going from Calif° a
to Europe forthis wife and family, too
his ticket for New York via the Gran
Trunk. railway, tlirough Canada, an
had the wise forethought to buy e
, change on New York for $4,000, retat
ing only sufficient inonee,; to pay his e-
penses by the way. When near S
Pauls, a small station between Stra
ford and St. Marys, ore "Wednesday
thorning, he went outside on. the plat
form of the car, and while there fiv
men appeared. One guarded eac
door, lme presented a revolver, th
other a knife, and demanded the mon.ee
he had in his possession. Seeing n
hope Of escaping out of their clutches
he leaped from the platform, fortunate-
ly not injuring -himself, and made his
way to the house of Mr. Charlet. jick-
ling, near St. Pauls, where he told his
story. Mr. dickling accompanied him
to St. Pai, to telegraph adept his
baggage, whi h was stopped at_ Paris.
The Austrian gentleman, whose name
we could not 1 arn, is of opinion that
he was followejl by the would-be rob-
bers for a Ion distance, as he had no-
ticed them, on the cars at Omaha. • The
railway police are on the look out for
them, and it is hoped may be able to
bring them to Justice.

adjusted at Milverton a few days ago,
the.judge deciding that Mr. McGill get
his note again, -and. "Dobbin," of uncer-
tain age, be restored- to his previous

effect of causing Mr. McGill to trust a
little to his own observation in buying
