etc.,\u2014a class that would be an immediAte benefit to the community on settling ?To Ihia end a scheme something of this kind might be prselioable.Say that the Government, like any other busi-d»hi firm having an object in view wth determination to see it through, put $2.10 01'0 an-nusl y as an investment into rmigrition, and with this sum in hand, survey 200 farms of 100 acre* tacb, adj linicg or alternate, and on each farm i-rt eta farm bum-, with ou'luildinga, to cost from $800 t* $1.000 and further set «aide $200 for implements for each holding.In Urge qusntitie* the cost would be much less than if the farmer built or bought individually.By this means a community would be created of 2,UK) aoulr.Care should be taken in the selection of a good class i f emigrants, with some means and of good standing ; every facility givtn thtm to reach the locality ; and to c>me nut if possible on the eamo ahip, *o that they could have the advantago of mutual help This community of, *ay, 2,000 aoula would attract other* to the vicinity.Churchea, ichoola, stores, etc., would fcdlow.Now look from the emigrant\u2019s point of view.His first impretaicu is that ho is going to a etrauge oountiy, and in the ordinary way hate to build hie hut, put up with privation, etc.; but if, on the other hand, he were sure of a good shelter, with a ohanoe to conmnenoe at once, and with two hundnd families if his own cinotry-men as his neighbor* his mind would be at ease, and he could go to work with a will, depending upon his own rxertims for success, and with healthy competition on every side.As to return*,\u2014au annual payment of, say, $10, to repay the cat of building and utenail*.lor twenty y eat a.Aa much, if not more, than thia amount ia waste 1 annually at present in fruitless scheme*.Thi« system, if judicially carried out, would be amph advertiaement for all time to come.These vettUrmnt*, to be productive of the most good, would require to be drawn alternately from cintres\u2014say, one year from Kng-land, next Kc itlaud, Ireland, Sweden, and so on.to make them, in my opinion, more stable, a* cla-x and nationalities t xist and are productive of more good in groupa.Again, as a Government investment, the money so expended would remain in the country.Your columns, I am snre, will always be ojirn to ary coneapondencn on this subject which would tend to the furthering of this very important matter.Tnankmg you for the space yiu Lave given in your valuable paper.Pksotioal Kuiohation.TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.CABLfcL A ROYAL MARRIAGE.Rome, May 16\u2014It o stated

abundantly realize that they must depend upon manufacturing for future development, ar.d tho grab by façtorieï consequently goes merrily oa.Manufacturing firms obtain exemptions from taxation, special jrgter privileges, oftentimes free land and heavy cash .bonuses in addition, and they usually secure all these things by reason of the fact that the wealth they have already accumulated enables them to take the part of dictators.It wonld be a good thing for the cities and town* in Ontario to agree upon tho refusal of all privileges except those of exemption, and every industry, and corporation wonld then be forced to stand upon its own merit*.1\u2019 The town of Brantford, nevertheless, a few days previously, voted by 19 to 130 a bonus to a manufacturing firm of $11,000 for a site to build HIGHMINDED.Mr.Mowal specially requeued hi* son to decline a nomination for Toronto.Toronto js a three-cornered conurituency, and a nomination wonld certainly have meant election for tbe chip of the old block.Thus acceptance wonld have been equivalent to tbe exercise of a bit of patronage.The three-cornered bniino**, it is to be feared, will bring tribulation to tbe Reform party yet.Sir John Macdonald will gerryman\u2014beg pardon, rediitriboti\u2014in two ytarr, and if there are any new wrinkles by which be can win a seat, it ia very certain that he will adopt them \u2014Toronto Mail.TARIFF PROTECTED TRUST3.In a debate in the House of Representatives recently, Mr.Wilson, of West Virginie, took occasion to make some remark* on the tariff protected Trusts.Several Republican members took the other side immediately and began to find reasons for sustaining the duties which enable this class of Trusts to carry on their operations.Mr.McComas, of Maryland, thought that the tariff had nothing to do with Trnsts, because he bad read in a newspaper that there were Tnut< in England Then tbe following colloquy ensued : Mr.Wilson of West Virginia\u2014In answer to that.I would say that when tbe gentleman from Maryland acd myself were over the sea I went to tbe gentleman I have already referred to [Prof.Tborold Rogers of Oxford University], who was recommended to me as being the beat informed man as to British industries and trade ; and he told me that he had never heard of inch a thing in England, and that he did not know how there eoold ba one.Mr.McComas\u2014Bnt yon and I had read of them in the papers.Mr.Wilton of West Virginia\u2014I admit, of courte, that there could ba a Trust in England where there is a natural limitation of supply, bnt I was argning against the Government coming to and making an artificial limitation of supply.Loud applause on the Democratic side.] Mr.Hill cf Illinois wanted to know whether Congress was not doing its whole duty when it parsed tbe Sherman Anti-Trust Bill.To him Mr.Wilson replied: You hold out to a man great prizes ; you dangle before bis eyes tbe opportunity of making great wealth, and then you say : \u201c If you eeize upon these priz»», wo are going to pnnish you.\" Now, human ingenuity is going to bs sharp enough to evade the threat of punishment and to get the prizes.I remember an old rhyme that runs something like this : I bear a lion In tbe lobby roar, Sty, Mr.Speaker, shall we shut the door And keep him there, or ihall we lei him In To try if we can tarn him out train This is yonr position in regard to \u201c Trusts.\" Instead of keeping out the lion Brother McKinley comes opening the door acd lays, \u201cLet him in, and then we are going to chase him aronnd and try to get him out again.\"

Just then, the clear an«l liquid voice of Itose 1'ompon was again heard.Rodin bounded with rage upon his seat ; but soon, as ho listened to the following verse, new to him (for, unlike Philemon\u2019s widow, he had not his Ih ranger at his tingers\u2019 ends), the Jesuit, accessible to certain odd, superstitious notions, was confused and almost frightened at so singular a coincidence.It is 1U ranger's Rood Pope who speaks : \u2014 \" What tire monarch* } «heepith *ots I Or they\u2019re robUrr, pulled with pride.Wearing badges ol crime-blots Till their certain grave gape wide.It they\u2019ll pour out coin tor me.I\u2019ll absolve them fkln ai.d bone !

Only watch me hurl the thunder First et ail, but /eus ur.drr.|\u2019m the Hope i the whole world s wonder ! Rodin, half risen from his chair, with out-atfctched neck and attentive eye, was still listening, when Rose Pompon, flitting like a bee from llowor to tlowcr of lier repertoire, had already begun the delightful air of Coli- Hearing no more, the Jesuit reseated himself, in a sort of stuixir ; but after some minutes\u2019 reflection, hie countenance again brightened up, and he seemed to see a lucky omen in this singular incident.He resumed hia pen, and the tlrat words he wrote partook, as it were, of this strange con fidcnce in fate.\u201c I have never had more hope of success than at this moment.Another reason to neglect nothing.Every presentiment demands redoubled zeal.A new thought oc-ccured to me yesterday.\u201c We shall act hero in concert.I have founded an ultra Catholic paper, called \u201c Neighborly Love,\" with one known as Ninny Moulin as editor.Prom its ultramontane, tyrannical, liberticidal fury, it will be thought the organ of Pome, I will ^confirm these reports.They will cause new \u2019terrors.\u201c That will bo well.\u2022\u2022 I shall raise the question of the liberty of instruction.The raw liberals will support us.Like focla, they admit us to equal rights ; when our privileges, our influence of the confessional, our obedience to Rome, all place us beyond the circle of equal rights, by the advantages which wc enjoy.Double fools ! they think us disarmed, because they have disarmed themselves towards us.\u2022\u2022 A burningqueation\u2014irritating clamors \u2014 now cause of disgust for the If ccik Man.Every little makes a mickle.\u2022' That also is very well.\u201c To sum up all in two words.The end is abdiction\u2014the means, vexation, incessant torture.The Rennepont inheritance will pay for the election.The price agreed, the merchandise will be sold.\" Rodin here paused abruptly, thinking he had heard some noise at that door of his, which opened on the stoircase ; therefore he listened with suspended breath ; but all remaining silent, he thought he mast have boon deceived, and took un his pen «I i Wjii take care of the Renuepont business \u2014the hinge on which will turn our temporal operations.We must begin from the foundation-substitute the play of interests, and the springs of passion, for the stupid club-law of Father d\u2019Aigrigny.He nearly compromised everything\u2014and yet lie has good parts, knows tlio world, has powers of seduction, quick insight\u2014but plays ever in a single key, and is not great enough to make himself little.In his stead, I shall know how to make use of him.There is good stuff In tho man.I availed myself in time of the full powers given by tho R.F.G.; I may inform Father d\u2019Aigrigny, in case of need, of the secret engagements taken by the General towards myself.Until now, I have let him invent for this inheritance the destination that you know of.A good thought, but unseasonable.The same end, by other means.\u2022' The information was false.There are over two hundred millions.Should tho eventuality occur, what was doubtful must become certain.An immense latitude is left ui.The Rennepont business is now doubly mine, and within throe months, the two hundred millions will be ours, by tho free will of the heirs themselves.It must lie so ; for this failing, the temporal part would escape me, and my chances bo diminished by one half.1 have asked for full powers ; time presses, and 1 act as if I had them.One pisce of in formation is indispensable for tho success of my projects.I expect it from you, and I must have it ; do you understand me Ï Tho powerful influence of your brother at the Court of Vienna will serve you in this.I wish to have tho most precise details as to the present position of the Duke de lleichstadt\u2014the Napoleon II.of the Imperialists.Is it possible, by means of your brother, to open a secret correspondence with the prince, unknown to his attendants ?\u2022' Look to this promptly.It is urgent.This note will be scut off to day.I shall complete it to-morrow.It will reach you, as usual, by the hands of the petty shopkeeper.\"\t,\t\u2022\t,, At the moment when Rodin was sealing this letter within a double envelope, he thought that ho again hearda iioUe at the door.Ho listened.After so«» silence, several knocks were distinctly audible.Rodin started.It was the lirst time any one had knocked at his door, since nearly a twelvemonth that he occupied this room.Hastily placing the Utter in his great coat pocket, the Jesuit opened the old trunk under the bed, took from it a packet of papers wrapped in a tatteied cotton hau Ikerchicf, added to them the two letters in cipher he had just received, and carefully relocked the trunk.The knocking continued without, and seemed to show more and mote impatience.Rodin took the greengrocer\u2019s basket in his hand, tucked hU umbrella under his arm, and went with some uneasiness to ascertain w ho was this unexpected visitor.He opened the door, and found himself face to face with Rose Fompon, the troublesome singer, and who now, with a light and pretty courtesy, said to him in the most guileless manner in tho world : \u201cM.Rodin, if you nlttisc ?\u2019 f To U Continued, l CHILDREN\u2019S CORNER.HARICOT MUTTON.\u201c There now !\" exclaimed young Mrs.Dean, as she came back into her sitting room after paying an expressman at the door, \u201c 1 am caught this time ! It cost mo one dollar to pay expressage on Will\u2019s books, aud 1 have only twenty cents left.\" \u201cThat\u2019s better than being twenty cents short,\" said her friend Lotty, who had come to spend the day with her.\u201c Oil ! but you don\u2019t understand, my dear ! Mrs.Dean went on, with a little dismayed laugh, \u201c That dollar means dinner, I was going to get such a sumptuous big porterhouse steak.Will told me to.Anti we always pay cash : that\u2019s one of our rules.So now there\u2019s nothing for dinner !\u201d \u201c Never mind the porter house !\" said Lotty, very calmly.\u201c Rut I don\u2019t want to boil corn beef to-day, and that\u2019s all the meat I have in tho house.If Will's ollice wasn\u2019t so far away, I\u2019d go right down there and got some money !\" \u201c Klla Dean!\" exclaimed Lotty, with sudden interest, \u201c I recognise my opportunity ! Do let me go into your kitchen with you, and help get dinner.It will seem like old times when you and 1 used to make molasses candy and fry doughnuts at Aunt Ruth's house.\" \u201cRut what shall we cook Ï \u201d asked Mrs.Dean, dubiously.\u201cThat's the very point! You know my cousin Jean.Shelias joined a cooking class, and 1 went to visit it last week.They cooked four or live different things in that one lesson, and tho meat-dish was so good and appetizing, I have been wanting to try it ever einee ; but I can\u2019t, you know, because we are boarding.\" \u201c Rut remember the twenty cents 1\u201d urged Mrs.Dean.\u201cThat's just what I do remember.The kind of meat wo want isn\u2019t more than eight or ten cents a pound.You run out and get it, dear,\u2014all you can get for twenty cents.Tell tho man to give you muttou from tho best part of the neck, and have him cut it in pieces two or three Iiiche» long.\" So Mrs.Dean sallied out with her twenty cents, and got two pounds and a half of mutton with the money.Lotty placed this meat in a saucepan on tho stove to brown, and quickly peeled and chopped on onion to add to it.A savory odor soon began to fill tho kitchen.\u201c Oh ! isn t tiiat going to bo good !\u201d exclaimed Mrs.Dean, delightedly.Meanwhile, Lotty cut up a turnip and a carrot into dice shaped pieces, and put them to boil in a little pan by themselves for a while.\u201c Those cooking teachers are ho nice,\u201d she said, as she did this.\" Do you see how much smaller I cut tho carrot than I did tho turnip ?The pieces are not more than half the size.The teacher said that carrots take longer than turnips to cook tender, but by cutting the dice smaller, it brings them out about even.\" She presently added the vegetables, now partly done, to the mutton, which, when browned, had been put with boiling water to simmer in a kettle, and seasoned tho whole with a little salt and pepper.\u201cTûere,\" she eaid, \u201c now it has only to cook till the meat is tender, and my work is all done.\u201d \u201c It\u2019s going to he an easy dinner,\" said Mrs.Dean.\u201cI have potatoes to boil, and tomatoes to cook.My dessert is already prepared, the table is set, and you have made my heart light with your wonderful mutton stew.\" \u201cMay he it\u2019s just a stew,\" said Lotty, demurely, \u201c but in the cooking class they call it \u2018 Haricot Mutton.\u2019\u201d When Will Dean came home, he found two bright faces awaiting him, and also an excellent dinner.They laughed together over the story of the twenty cents, and all agreed that they were glad the expressman took tho dollar.Lotty afterwards wrote out tne recipe in full for her friend, as it was given to the class \u201cHaricot Muttou.Fry two pounds mut ton (from the best part of the neck) in drip pings, having first cut the mutton into pieces two or three inches long and rather thick.Add one onion, chopped fine, and brown it with tho meat.I\u2019ut it in a stew pan when brown, and add as much boiling water as you wish for gravy.Let it simmer while you prepare one turnip and one carrot.Cut them in small pieces, and parboil in boiling water ten minutes.Then add to the mutton, and let all simmer half an hour, or until tender.Season to taste.I\u2019ut the meat in the centre of the platter, vegetables around it, and poured the gravy over.\u2019 \u2014 Youth't Comj>anion.Businosa Cards.THE \u201cI WILLS\u201d OF SCRIPTURE.COMPILED BY MRS.*.H.RICIIBS.Friday, May 1C.HOI.Y MEDITATION.I will meditate in Thy precepts, and have respect unto Thy ways.-Psalm rxlx.15.Meditate upon these things : give thyself wholly to them ;

one more, a hundred more.The missionary\u2019s heart grows sick, it cries out, 'Ob, Christians at home, for the love of Christ, stop the rum !\u2019 But, as the climate does it* exhaustive work, and ooc by one the brave workers sink beneath the burning sun, hearts at home are discouraged, and the next ship goes only with rum\u2014without the missionary.Under the madness of intoxicating liquors sent from Massachusetts two hundred of those people (of Congo) slaughtered each other in a single day.Again, we aie told of a single gallon of this drink causing a fight in which fifty were killed.Judas Slid his Lord for seventeen dollars, but America hurries fifty souls to the bar of God for ninety cents.\" SEE THE EMPIRE CHILDREN\u2019S CLOTHING IP-A-IRLOIR- Look through our stock of tho latest novelties selected from tho leading and most fashionable English and American styles.Examine the make, stylo and finish cf oar gooila which you can purchase from us for half tho price of custom made, and which is in every respect equal (if not superior) to ordered Clothing.Look through our MEN\u2019S and BOYS TROUSERS at $3.00, $4.00, $5.00, equal to tho best custom made at double that price, GENTLEMEN\u2019S SPRING OVERCOATS at $8.00, $10.00, $12.00, $14.00.Equal to Custom Made at $20 or $25.Prince Albert Coats and Vests a speeially AT THE EHITIIE (MHIEIES 2261 ST.CATHERINE STREET.1\u2019 «.KO.H» KOOXE1\u2019, ¦\t\u2022\t\u2022 Mnnngrr.2,000 ENGRAVINGS TO IIK 4;iv»:w AWAY.Batre kind »a Bookstores sell for 60c.Artistic ami UnniUoine Frnmcil at\teach.We ion do better for yon than Bookstore men Our oiler I* ONLY KOR ONK MONTH Now ia your chauoe to furnish up with Pictures at low cost.W.II.HOPE, \u2022f\u2019f.v.St.«\u2018afhcrlne >*l., NKAK VICTORIA STRKK.r_____ DAWSON\u2019S c creamsT^ THE YEW WOICM ItEWEOY.IIKiHLY RKCOMMENDKD liY PHYSICIANS BpIdk the most pleasant and clfeetive Wokm Rkmkdy 00 the market.Bold h/ ail llrusn\u2019Ut*.'*-Y' it liox.WALLACE OAWSOV.Clieinlal.Hellebore, hellebore.CATERPILLAR-».CATERPILLARS.Haro your Currants and (looaelx rT''«ilM»l, Agent, K BT.PETER STREET.MONTREAL Groceries, Provisions, &c.1834.1890.J.A.WATHEWHO* A CO., 909 McCIll atreat, \u2022\t\u2022\t\u2022 Montreal.IMPORTERS and WHOLESALE OBOCEBE.Durer* In this establishment have the sdranta«M of lengthened experience, with FRKHHNESH of (took auo ASSORTMENT MAINTAINED Order* Carefallv Attended o.R S3» BT.JAMES STEP.FT, Manufacturer and Importer ol ENOLIHIl HADDLEB, BRIDLES, HARNESS,W IIIVS.lIIJtN KKTH, BRUSH ill, 04 >M HH.OLIFPKRH.H A DOj .B and II AKNKH.H COMPOSITION.i*AHTK.the IINI VERBAL METAL CLEANER (none better).Horse Blanket* retail at wholesale prices.Send four ordi rs by telephone or otherwise for repairs to Baddies and Haruess, nr work of any kind.I will send for It.do It cheaply and well, and send It home when flnlahed.Ulre me a trial, I guarantee satisfaction I FOSTER\tWORK DONE IN GOOD STYLE At the \u2022\u2022 Wltnras\" OIBre.WI.FENWICK, ( (Member Montreal Btock Exchange.I HI Of Ti It ROUIR.Stocks, Ronds, etc, dealt In for cash or on margin.A OTTAWA will Is' In operation.Trains to connect with sleimer leavint!

they pretend to buy and sell these articles.Doran A Wright, who, by the way, were once well known in Montreal, and were exposed along with all the other gambling concerns by the H\u2019itnu$, have failed in the \u201c business.'\u2019 They sold to their customers large quantities of wheat and fork, and when their customers call apon them to deliver the grain and provisions, or isttle, they go into insolvency, and declare that though they sold millions of bushels of wheat, and hundreds of thousands of barrels of pork, they had not a pound of ons or an ounce of the other, or, ia the words of one of the partners, \u201c There are no assets to speak of.^ Mr.David seemstobe tne only person who ccrr.es ont of the shrievalty mess with honor.The position was promise*! to him,\u2014but he did not get it.He rather chivalrously comes forward to shield Mr.Mercier from the charge of breaking a promise, and says he voluntarily released the Premier from his obligation.The explanation is all very well so far as it goes\u2014but that is a very little way.Why did Mr.Mercier want to get out of his promise ?What hidden hold has Mr.Thibaadeau cu the Premier of this Province,\u2014what terror can he hold over Mr.Mercier\u2019s head Î Was it shnply fear lest Mr.Thibaudeaa should lead a Rouge revolt in the ministerial camp?Or has Mr.Thi-bandeau rendered services to Mr.Mercier or the Government which cannot lie mentioned publicly and must be paid for whenever the price is demanded ?For the credit of Mr-Mercier and of Mr.Thibaadeau they should clear up this myktery at once.If the Hexatk had acted upon the advice of Mr.McCallum, and had thrown out the bills increasing the pig iron bounty aod granting three and a half million dollars to subsidize local railways, th* parliamentary session of this year would have been brought to a fitting close.Asit is, nothing could have shown more clearly how great has been the change wrought during this session in the political atmosphere of ( anada by the exposure of the Kykert and the llrsmner far scandals than the fact that a senator, a Min* isD-rielist at that, should protest against the bribery system of the present administration.The usefulness of the Men ate has not quite gone when a single member of it possesses sufficient ability to see that the railway subsidies and th* pig iron bounties ars nothing mors nor less than a \u201c gigantic system of bribery,\" and has sulk Mes>rs.Edwards, Man/, kr, Granule and Smiles, who are serving two months in the county gaol at Fredericton, X.B., are high-toned liquor traffickers, who have thrice been convicted of Scott Act breaking.If they had been of the common \u201c shebeen'\u2019 sort they wonld not have found what the St.John Tetejraph calls the \u201c very comfortable quarters,which they have named \u201c Hotel de Scott Act.\" There haa been over two huu* dred callers upon the gaoled hotelkeepers, \u201c including many prominent citizens and a great many ladies.\" Two of these men are keepers of hotels, and threaten to close their hotels.As a retaliatory measure this would be a failure in fac* of a population of energetic people.It is hoped that there are such men in Fredericton, and that they will teach the men in gaol that there is not one law for the liquor trafficker and another for his victim.As it stands at present,the manner in which the gaol authorities are treating the malefactors is most reprehensible.The TtlegrapKi correspondent thus describes what he saw : \u201c Prison life \u201c would have but few terrors for average \u201c citi/ens if they were sure of l>cing treated as '\u2022 well as Mr.Edwards and his associates are.\u201c They are surrounded with all the luxury of \u201c a well furnished home and their bill of fare \u201c is one that would do credit to Deltnonico'a.\u201c Who can visit them without concluding \u201c that such a vindication of the Mcott Aot is a \" huge farce.\" Ac ORDiNC To the Law of Canada a priest or any other unmarried man can marry, and his marriage, duly performed, is defended by the whole force of onr laws.According to the teneta of the Roman Catholic Church a priest cannot marry, and if a pri«-at is married by a Protestant minister he still remains a priest and has not been married.In other words, then, there ia a ccntlict between the ecclesiastical law of the Church of Rome and the law of Canada.This province recognizes a law by which per-son} being married can be separated, and it is frequently appealed to.In the cose of the priest or ex-priest Martin, his marriage, according to Canadian law, is acknowledged ; according to Roman Catholic ecclesiastical law he is not married, and, more cruel still, hie wife Is not married and his children are illegitimate.Without delaying to discuss the horrible cruelty of an ecclesiastical law which will permit such a life-long injury to be done to a woman who may or may not know that her husband had been admitted to the priesthood, and to children born of the union, it is otr object now simply to point out the conflict in the lawe.Mr.Merrier, as the leader of the Quebec Government, has publicly admitted that as a ruler who ia a Roman Catholic ho must submit to the Church in case of such a conflict.Hut the ST.ANN\u2019S DIVISION.THI ACTION OF TUB TBADEH AND LABOR COUNCIL MEKKNTII I.minority of this Province, as Protestants in their own defence, if from no higher motive, cannot aflbrd to lot this case pass without iukUtin|! that any woman who is legally married by a Protestant minister is married and that the marriage cannot be annulled without a divorce.THE PROSPECTS OF FREE TRADE.Mr.Gladstone, in a speech before the Cob-den Club, has taken a somewhat disoouragiog view of the progress and outlook of free trade.In Europe it haa been crushed by niilUariim, in the Hritish colonies and in the United States it has been discredited by poli tical expediency, and even Mr.Gladstone, who haa grown nmre liberal and more hopeful as he has grown older.cannot sec any immediate prospect of the triumph of freedom.He does not despair of the ultimate victory of the cause of commercial liberty, but simply recognizes the fact that while Great Britain has been partly educated,partly induced by her supreme interests into putting into practice the economic doctrines whicli are alone supported by science and philosophy, the rest of the world outside haa in the face of all authoritative teaching resolutely proceeded in an opposite direction on the supposition that it was thus securing its own interests.Free traders believe that the masses of the people arc being misled by the classes, who alone benefit by the setting aside of economic principles, and that at the expense of all the others.As soon as the natural resources of new countries begin to fail, and the immense advantages of rapid and cheap communication and transportation from virgin soil to the world\u2019s markets cease, as they will in time, to ofler an unlimited outlet to labor, the masses in protected countries will be reduced to poverty a fate which is overtaking some portions of the masses already\u2014and the schooling with thorns will result in education in, and acceptance of, right principles.England will then getthccreditof teaching another great lesson to the world.It is probable that Mr.Gladstone has been compelled to take this somewhat gloomy view of the out'ook for free trade in the English speaking world by the nature of the replies which his recent article on the subject drew from the most prominent American protectionists.That a great nation such as is the JUnited States should appear to liase its fiscal policy upon such arguments as Mr.Hlainc and his followers used in attempting to answer Mr.Gladstone, seems to imply the rule of ignorance ami incompetence.The triumph of ignorance is in appearance only not a reality, for the American people, having drifted into protectionism under conditions which made it impossible that even legalized robbery could check their great prosperity, are now beginning to realize the true nature of the system that has been imposed upon them.The men who have been answering, or rather attempting to answer Mr.Gladstone's arguments, who laugh to scorn the idea that the fiscal policy of the Republic will ever be changed, are now in power, but they arc in fear of being stranded by (To the Eiilur of the Witness.) Sut,\u2014As I see that your paper contains many items in relation to organized labor I take the liberty of writiug the following to you, in hope that it will prove sufficiently interesting to give to your readers.A meeting of the Central Trades and Labor Council wss held the other day, and it was decided by that body to nominate Mr.George Clarke as a labor candidate for Ut- Ann's division- This gentleman was formerly one of the leading officials of the Knights of Labor in this locality, but of late be has lost interest in the order, and baa neither attended the meetings nor paid bis dues for a considerable period.Y oar Bumble servant was present at the meeting of the Conned, and protected against the nomma tion of candidates by the Council for any division, claiming that the voters of each division in sympathy with organized labor should be allowed to select and nominate cAndidates themselves, but as the Council was composed in great part of political hacks be wss summarily sat upm, and the nomination of Mr, Clarke fjllowed as a matter of coarse.About fifteen months ago, when it was expected that the Hon.James McSbane would be disqualified as a member of the Legislature, a meeting of the citizens of 8L Ann's division in sympathy with organized labor was held, and it was decided at that meeting, in the event of the Hon.Jimmy's disqualificstion, to nominate Mr.John F.Redmond as a labor candidate.Mr.Redmond has been a hard worker in the cause of labor, is modest and unassuming, and enjoys the confidence of all honest workers in the oauie of organized labor.The political backs who packed the meeting of the Council tbe other day had the effrontery to set the claims of Mr.Redmond on one side, and decided to force a candidate of their own choice upon tbe division.However, they will not succeed, in spite of all their scheming, for at a subsequent meeting of River Front Assembly of the Knights of Labor, and largely composed of citizens of the division in question, the aetion of the Council was dissp proved of, and it was decided to call a meeting of the citizens of St Ann\u2019s division who favor the claims of Isbor, for tbe purpose of nominating a candidate satisfactory to the voter* of that division.The meeting will be held in Weber Hall, St.James street, 00 Saturday night, at eight o'clock, and it is to be hopcxl that, in justice to themselves, and as a protest against ward politicians and political henchmen, the laboring clasrei of St.Ann's division, or at least those of them who are organized, will muster in force and select their candidate themselves.They should no longer allow themselves to be dictated to by a clique of eelf seeking partisans, bnt act like freemen, and make their own choice.Should Mr.Clarke be their choice your humble servant will be as ready to give a helping hand in his election as anyone, but not other wise.\tFatbiok J.Dalton, 73 Jurors street.At a regular meeting of the Central Trades and Labor Council held yesterday the following resolution was unanimously adopted : \u2014 That this Council li in no way connected with a so-called public meeting of Rber Front Assembly, K.of L., to beheld In Weber Hall Saturday, 17lh Inst., to nominate candidate for St.Ann'» division.INVADING THE SANCTUM.(To the Elitor ot the IFsInssi.) Sin,\u2014It is claimed that there has been con.siderable fresh blood infused into the new Council of the Bar for the Diatriot of Montreal at the recent election of officers.If such is the case it is bo be hoped that some changes and amendments will be made in the management of matters connected with the library and advocates\u2019 room.The robing room, as it is called, of late has had more the appearance et a beer Grden then a meeting or robing room for the .tal profession.It is no uncommon thing to find this room filled with tobacco smoke, while at other times it is turned ii^to a public eoart room for the examination of witnessee, with a number of men and women sitting around tbe tables, whilst in the library proper groups of gentlemen are engaged in loud conversation, much to tbe anuoyanoe ot those who go there for study and to consult the works to be found there.\tAdvooatb.the slowly retreating wave.They are shooting a good deal at present to keep their courage up, but if the set of the tide of public opinion towards free trade continues to flow unchecked as it now does, they and their desperate devices to check it, such aa the McKinley tariff increase bill, will disappear amid the execration* of those they have deluded.LICENSING THE DOOTORS.A PBOeiCCTOB APPOINTED TO LOOK AFTKI THI QUftCES.On Wednesday the half yearly meeting of tbe Board ot Governors of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the Province was held in the Laval Medicine School\u2014the Hon.Dr.Rosa presiding.The secretaries were Dr.Belleau, of Quebec, and Dr.F.W.Campbell, of Montreal, The first bnsineas was swearing in and granting licenses to practice medicine in this province to tbe graduates of all the medical schools.A graduate from the Faculty of Medicin» of Paris applied for a license, which after discussion was granted.Dr.Msckay was appointed prosecuting officer for the city and district of Montreal.This was in answer to proteati against the quackery which was allowed to go unchecked.The method of issuing licenses was changed on the suggestion of Dr.Campbell, who moved that the officer* of the college attend tbe meeting of the credential committee, and complete the istning of licenses then and there.This was agreed to, and a great saving of time is promised in consequence.A NATURAL EMBANKMENT ALBIADT IXIHTH WHBKI TUB OCABD WALL IS *\tTO BB BUILT.The Government engineers beard Mr.J.X.Perrault yesterday afternoon.He explained the objections of the Chambre of Commerce to the guard wall, and asked that Mr.Parizeau, president, and Mr.Morin, mayor of Longueuil, be heard.It was decided to hear them to-day.Mr.F.C.Henshaw sent in a report of the Flood Commission of 1H77, and a copy of Mr.Perley\u2019s report to the Government that year.These refer to piers and booms in Lake St.Louis.Mr.Bulmer testified that the Harbor Oom-miteiooera' wish was to get shipping and railway traffic properly accommodated, as well as to be abls to build sheds of a permsnent nature on the wbarve*.Mr Kennedy stated that the ioo always piled up on tbe shoal, where it was intended to erect the guard wall, thus forming a natural embank ment, which it was proponed to replace by an artifisial one, preventing tbe field ice moving in upon tbe wharves, and saving the expense of removing it afterwards.ANTI CRIME AT RICHMOND.TBEPIBANCI CBLBBUATION ON THB BOISE OF THI BICINT BIOTS.[Special to the Tl\u2019Uncrr.)

J.Hewit, Re.F.A.Reid.Rev.G.F.Brown, Rev.J.MacLeod, Rev.J.Hepburn, Rev.T.Murray, and the speakers from Montreal,\u2014Rev.J, A.Newubani, Major K.L.Bond and Mr.J, H.Carson.The meeting was ojK-ned with singing, and prayer by Mr.Hewit.Mr.Newnbam was the first speaker, and dwelt apon the relation of the Church towards the great temperance movement.All great enterprises of a moral character looked to the ministers for support There was therefore no great surprise when the temperance cause appealed to tbe Church for t id.The Church should be doeely identified with this work, because of tbe great obstacle that in-temperance was in the spread of religion.The intereets of missions were intimately connected with the temperance question.Today while miisionaries were being sent to foreign lands the same ship conveyed large cargoes of the cursed liquor, to undo the work the missionaries are trying to do.Tbe Church should preach and teach total abstinence on the part of the individual, and it ahonld provide counter attractions to ffie salonu.The W.O.T.U.was the Good Samaritan of the Parable.Tbe liquor waa the thief that robbed a man of honor, wealth, and friends, and as he lay bleeding and neglected tbe hands of the W.C.T.U.were out-¦tfetched to lift up and care for the fallen and restore him to his family and home.Major Bond in his able adlrrsi dealt principally with the question of law of enforcement.He di-scribed the work of the law and order societies of the United States and Canada.He defended tbe system of sending detectives to discover the liquor-selling law breakers.It was tbe only ¦yetr-m to detect crime, and it waa considered quite proper in all other matters.Decoy letters were sent out to entrap tbe letter thief, and all society approved.Tbe principle woe the same \u2014all friends of temperance should stand loyally by those who were endeavoring *o enforce the law.There were everywhere men who hid in tbe cellars while the enemy were in eight and crawled oat when victory was to be celebrated.What we wanted was brave men to stand by the brave women who were in the front rank of this great battle.We would accept suoh amendments to the pn-aent law aa would give ue more of prohibition, and go on until we secured total prohibition.Mr.Carson aaid he waa not there to speak words of euology on the W.C.T.U., that waa not Decenary, \u201c By their frnita ye shall know them.\" The work of tbe women of Richmond spoke louder than words.Their courageous action in the recent seizure cases had had its effect over the whole Dominion, and was also reported across the water, and was an inspiration to ou»' worker* everywhere.The man who ¦old liquor in Richmond was a criminal, and any one aiding and a butting that traffic there waa a criminal also.Tfie law punished those who were proved accessory to a crime, and thou* who m any way aided the illegal liquor seller of tins county should lie puuished a» accessory before or after the fact.After the collection was taken a oirdial v-jG» of thanks to tha speak**-» wa« proposed by Air, John Ewing and carried tiy a rising vote.EASTERN TOWNSHIPS.[Special to the Witness.)

negotiations wtre in, but tbe Premier was absent for the moment and Mr.Mitchell waited.There was nothing before the House, and after wailing ten minutes, Mr.Mitchell again roie and said to Sir Hector Langevin, abruptly, \" Trot out your leader and let there be somebody h®re to answer for the Government.\" Sir Hector smiled broadly at the \"exquisite bumor\" of the member for Northuxber land and shortly after the Premier came in and in reply to Mr.Mitchell said the Government had not full information.A message came from England which was not explicit enough and the Government asked for an explanatory message which had not arrived.Mr.Tapper was very ill, dangerously ill, and was on hi» way home and wa* expected to-day.So far, the 1\u2019remier added, things in connection with tbe settlement were looking well.BBIMNERB FIRS.Mr.Trow said he had heard that Charles Rremner was about instituting an action against Gtu.Middleton fer the recovery of the value of the stolen furs, and he thought the Govern-mint ehould act in tbe matter.A discussion ensued, in which Sir John Macdonald again piloted out, as be has done before, that Mr.BUke protected against tbe Government paying the bill of damages.Mr.Mills, of Bothwel\u2019.said that if these fart wire never, as Mr.Blake said, in the possession of the Crown, then Gtn.Middleton, and not tbe Crown, was responsible.The Premier made the admission that he had not read tbe e /idence in this case and he did not know whether the Crown wa» liable or not, but if it was thd Government would at once acknowledge it.Mr.Mitchell was not prepared to ssy that the country should psy for tbe furs Gen.Middleton appropriated.The Piemier a:lading to the responsibility of the Crown for tbe act» of its agente, spoke of a British gmeral who Hogged his men to death and was hanged for it by the civil law.Mr.Mitch'11 said be did not wish to see Gen.Middleton haoged, although the articles of war did provide that the punishment for looting was death, Mr.Laurier said it was extraordinary that there furs should hare been pillaged while Gen.UiddleUn was at Battleford, and held that the mc-ature of reparation to Bremner was to restore to him all his furs or the equivalent in money to be pa>d cot by the Government but by thoe-i who unwarrantably deprived him of tbe furs.The matter was then dropped, to be replaced by THE M OBEEVT SCANDAL Sir Hector Langevin laid the papers in ths McGreevy esse on the table and informed thi House that the result of bis departmental en quiry went to show that no officer of his depart incut bad

Beliecha*x»f Monttrsgny, LTslet, Bonsventure, Lvke St.John, Champlain, etc., which sent one or more representatives.The Liberal and h ranch.Canadian element of the city were, of course, tbe most numerous, but there was also a considerable sprinkling of Irish Catholics and l.agliib* \u2022peaking Protestants in the crowd.Among the prominent figures on the stage were the H in.T.Lsteelier, ex Mayor of Qusbec.who was unao:> mcusly callrd to the chair ; tne Hon.Me*srs.Meic.tr, Sbehyn, Turcitte and Cormier, Messrs.Benratchez.Lemieux.Cardin, B*/.tnet, J Tesaier, A.Tessier, Rinfret and Murphy,

J.A.Langlais.C.A.Dnciuet, etc.\t.\t\u201e\t.« On entering the hall the Provincial Premier and his colleague* received a regular oration, tbe gathering rising and cheering sgam and again, until the chairman rose to open the meeting and explain ita object.In doing so, he said that, while the Mercier Government had ROTHIXa TO r«AB from their adversaries in th* Quebec political district, still there was always danger io over ecrfidecce, and he consequently urged upon tfcnr fiirnds, and the friend» of the party gene rally, to organize effectually at once and to enter vigorcusly into the struggle, leaving no stone\t_____________ unturned to render more striking the victory\tWM< O0 doubt, a vtry nice and a very tak who, it should same mtn who IN THUS TWKNTT YSAUH OF FOWSK bad piled up a debt of $22,000,000 on the Pro rince and marked their reign by a suooessioa of ri.' ma us deficits besides leaving behind them a tloalmg debt of some seven million» when they were driven from ottioe.Another of tbe des|ierate methods resorted to by theee nun to ir^aptare power wea tbe efforts they had made to turn the Protestant population of the Province against bis Government.In this they had succeeded to tome extent for a time, and be was prepared to allow that, owing to the way their prejudices were played upon the minority had reason to brlieve that thty had been given offence.But, happily, betnr tentm.eats cow prevailed, and many of his Protestant fellow citizens had since seen that they were being duped and had come roned to the Government, finding that in its members they had their best friends.This had been proved by the fairness and liberality with which the Government had treated them.It bad helped them to build schools, it had granted them even more than their share in the compen-iation FOB 1HB s ET T LB 11 BN r OF THI JCSCITS\u2019 ESTATS8, and it hsd given them also fair representation in the Csbiuet.It had alto been the cause of furnishing to the world the spectacle cf a French Catholic province giving $10,000 towards rebuilding a Protestant university in another province.(Applause ) Among the important acts which bis government also took credit for acd on account of which he considered that they were entitled to a renewal of confilence, he particularly n eutioned the settlement of the dangerous aud troublesome question of tb»< Jesuits\u2019 Estates, which their adversaries would also have liked to have aettled, but they never conld muster up courage or indeixndence enough to do ao, the granting of free night schools for the working claesee, the improvement of the pay and treatment of jurors and Crown witnesses and the removal of the odious tax on the municipalities for tbe care of the insane.On all these he laid great stress, his remarks being received with cheers and thunders of applause.He then weet on to say that his adverssries with Mr.Taillon at their head, had no defiued p >licy.but, if they were consistent, he contended that as they had opposed ail these reforms in the House, they would have to undo them all, if they returned to power and he asked his hearers how they or the country would like to revert to the old systems.Another cry of theirs, be said, upon which they founded great hopes in tbe coming struggle, was that all future loans should be first submitted to the popular vote forapproval, as it was hinted that heiutended to nsgotiate a new loan, if he retained office.conversion of the debt included, would greatly promote tbe material interests of the Province.The motion was carried amid applause and the meeting then separated with three chetr* for Mr.Mercier and his colleagues.rhich surely awaited tbe Government at the polls.He added ithat there was no district in the Province which owed this duty more to the Goreicn tnt than the Quebec district or should give them a heaitier support, for there was no district which had received more justice and consideration from Mr.Mercier and nis colleagues\u2014 a remark which was greeted with probogid ap plans* A FBI'GBAMMI 8F1ICH.In ccmplisnce with an invitation frotn the Chairman Mr.Mercier then addressed the meeting, speaking for nearly two hour* with his ntual ability, and making what is commonly termed a programme speech for the elec'iona.It is impossible at the tune of writing this evening to give more than a mere outline of his remarks, but it is understood that tbe speech, which was in French, will be translated and published in full in the party organs, as well as in pamphlet form in a few days.In coming forwsrd the Premier received another ovation from the crowd.When the applause nad sub-aided, he explained that he had taken the precaution of committing bis speech to writing in order to avoid misrepresentation by the presa, and this document be then went on to read and comment on as be proceeded.On the result of the battle about to be fought in the conitmeu-cits, be said THI ACT050MT OF IH* PBDYISCIS depended.The question for tbe people to de cide was whether they would defend and keep that autonomy or become the slaves of Ottawa, which last meant sooner or later a rupture of the present Federal system and possibly also of tbe colonial links.There was no room whatever for illusion on this bead.Con-centratirn at Ottawa was equivalent to the overthrow of the present system.Would it be followed by independ< nee or acnexatian ?That was a tecret of the future which no man could foretell.His government had constituted itself the champioo of Previneisl rights,snd to reverse it would be to give help to those whose aim was legislative union, which mraot tbe ruin of the provinces or Imperial federation, which would be equivalent to the wiping out of Canada- Unfortunately, those who wished to crush out tbe provinces and especially tbe province of Quebec were united, while her own childrer, those who should be the friends and mainstay cf provincial autonomy, were divided.There was no questioning the fact that CEBTAIN FANATICS WBB1 BOYIJIG HBAVIN AND BABTH to abolish tbe use of the French language and also tbe separate school system.And who were the allies of these fanatics 1 Tne Bleus of Quebec, with Mr.Taillon at their bead, and these were the men who were now asking the people of a French Catholic province to turn his Government out nod to put them in power.He was not prepared to say that Mr Taillon sympathized with a movement so hostile to his race and creed, but be had never repudiated his alliance with the Merediths and the McCarthy», who were at its Levi.He dared not do so.(Cries of \u201c âhame 1 shame P) He was consequently mote, aud ao were bis friends, who were prepared to crawl and crouch down before tbe mai only in the Dominion for miserable party reason*.Did they think that the people of tois pro vince had no heart, that they were ao degraded that they would not rasent the denial of their right to exist and to practice their religion snd speak the tongue of their forefathers ?They wcru> SHOW WHITHIB THAT WEBB OB NOT in tbe coming election*.If be was defeated, be would retire into private life and wait until his country had m >re heart.However, be had no fear on that aoore.He thought he knew his countrymen well en vug h to say that they would not prove recreant at such a crisis to their traditions and dearest interests, and if it came to a question cf war then war would have to take place, much as be and his bearers might regret it, and be believed that is tbe struggle his fellow-citizen* of all races and creeds would rally to him as one man is defending the rights and existence sf the Province.(Prolonged applause.) One of the charges made against bis Government oy its opponent* was that it wa* ntrarsgaat.that it bad increased the expenditure.but they forgot to tell the public that if the Government had increased tbe expenditure it had also increased tbe revenue, dona \u2022way with defats and given the Province sur-pi uses instead, increased the grants to education, agriculture, colonization, and charities, besides generally placing tbe who1* Provincial service on a better footing in keeping with the growing requirement* of tbe Province.Hi* Got crament was unwilling to practise ttub hypocritical economy as their adversaries bad practised to throw dust into the public eyes and never would.Tney would not cheese pare at the expense of oar deserving charitable institutions or of tbe great interest* of the Province.(Applause.) And they would not ha deterred either from carrying out a broad, liberal policy for the general good ky the howling ct carping of their adversaries ing cry, bu: it should not be forgotten that those who weie now uimg it were the very men who, during their twenty years of power, had con-tractvd loan after loan, until they bad piled op a debt cl twenty two millions, without ever dreaming of Consulting tbe public.Tbe idea was prvpostercui, and to carry it out would be tv put the Government and Legislature in tutelage and the Province in the most humilisting and exceptional position, there being no other province or county in tbe civilized world where such a system obtained.Evan Sir John Macdonald bad ridiculed it, when one of his iMercier\u2019v) friends at Ottawa aekel him the other day if it was the Dominion Gorern-mc-nt\u2019s intention to pat it into practice.As a sort of forlorn hope, the heroes of the Pacific scandal, tbe North Shore Railway scan 1 il the Rykert vcandal and the Quebec Harbor \\Vork« vcandal were relying upon the cry \u201cAba* la clique !1 This was their greatest war cry He was accused of being tbe ehief of a gang of public rotbers.Of course, his adversaries remembered bow they had themselves suffered from a similar cry, and how tbe public in their in-rl'gnatioD bad burled them from power.They knew well the value of such a war cry.But where was his c'ique sod who compacd it?Was it the fri*-ud- who had been with him in adveriryî Was it the members of bis Cabinet?He never did anything and be believed there n^ver bad been a Premier in thia Province who did less, without consulting his colleague#.He consulted them regularly on all subjects ; they had bis utmost confidence and all his movements were kn ating in tbe canal basin yesterday afternoon aociit four o'clock by some ot the bootnimen.Tbe Coroner held an inquest last night, and a verdict of \u201c accidental death\u201d was rendered.Another boy, who was with him on the day of bis disappearance, said that after he parted from Johnny he went down to the basin and while picking up chips heard a splash some way off, and on looking up saw bubbles rising.COMPLAINT OF DISCRIMINATION.Mr.Field, who owns tbe new store on the corner of Dorchester and Ht.Georgs street, has a grievance against the Road Committee.He was compelled by the department to build back to tbe homologated line on Dorchester street.His next neighbor refused, he says, to accept that line, and was permitted to encroach over the homologated line, three feet.Thus, in a newly widened street one building is allowed to stick out three feet more than it* neighbors.JUSTICE AT LAST.Mayor Grenier has received the following letter : \u2014 Mr Dbab Mb.Mayob,\u2014I have the honor to inform you that the order-in council of the Ifitb March last, detaching part of the city of Montreal, and annexing the same to Bte.Cuoe-gonde for school pnrpose*.has been revoked by an order in-council passed May 12:h.I have the honor to be, etc , Hdnobi Mibcibb.Quebec, May 13tb.THE WINDSOR HALL TO MORROW.The entertainment by the deaf-mutes and blind of the Mackay Institute, to be held in Windsor Hall to morrow afternoon, promises to be of more than usual interest.The programme will bring ont the abilities of the pupils to use written, spoken, and sign language, and the methods adopted in imparting this knowledge to children, who, when they enter school, are altogether without a language.THE SAILORS INc \"ITUTE.The Sailors\u2019 Institute, which ill be formally opened for the season this eveLing, has undergone internal improvements of considerable value.A new stairway and a new entrance, together with an enlargement of the concert hall, are among tbe new features.Mr.Bell would like a new building, but is heartily disposed to mske tbe most ot what he has this season, which be expect* to be very busy.SPECIAL NOTICE.Wn KiaptorruLLY Announob to the ladie* who came too l*te for our first lot of Job Hats that we have received another and still larger nonsignment consisting of over 200 dozen, io Ladies\u2019, Misses\u2019 and Children\u2019s at 26 cents each.Henry Morgan A Co.Labob Assoit mint of fine office desks and ohaira.Low price*.H.Nightingale, 7 and 9 Ht.John.Telephone, 4691.Inspection solicited.Job Lot or Ladieb\u2019 Htbaw Hats.\u2014This our second job of Ladies' Straws consists of over 2,000 hats in a variety of colors, shapes and Jualities, snitable for ladies, misses and chilien, at 26 cents each.Henry Morgan & Co.EIGHT HOURS A DAY.HOW OOULD THB BTBTIM BBOOMB UN1VBBBAL \u2014 \u2022\u2019ULLAH\" TO THB \"BNIOHT.\" (To the JCJitor of the Witness.) Hib,\u2014\u201c Knight of Labor\u201d makea a few comments upon my last letter, which are somewhat amusing and not altogether pertinent.The class of women for whom I agitated, Bir Knight, waa the class most difficult to reach, a class, I presume, not mentioned in your \u201cconstitutions, namely, the overtaxed wives and mother* of men with moderate incomes\u2014a class whose emancipation can better be effected by the exercise of a little kindly fovethougbt on toe part of each individual man than by any eociety organized for that purpose.While you are \u201c working tooth and nail\u201d for a certain class of women, what are you doing to lessen the burdens of your own wife?I am quite in sympathy with the eight hour movement, Sir Knight, provided you can advise a plan by which it may become universal ; but I am an Equal Rights woman and want fair play.If )u claim that eight hours work daily is your fair share of laoor, wny should a woman, with half your physical strength, work sixteen ?Is her labor less effective, leas productive, or even less arduous because it receives no remuneration ?I begin to thick that things are unequally divided in this woild\u2014they have always been so with regard to women.Aieuming that eight boar* is a proper day\u2019s work for any mao.what a ludicrcui state of affairs wo would havo if everyone imisted upon his rights.Tnelthor day would begin at tight and end at* live; the remaining sixteen hours would be devoted to sleep and recreation.The doctor would re fuse to visit patients, the druggist to put no prescriptions, the baker would not hake his bread, the milkman would not milk his cows, the farmer would not house his crops, aud so on through all the various hrsnrhes of industry.\\Vhat would be the result?Why, I presume, a general collapse, unless we could coutrive to live on \u201c the nectar of the gods.\u201d I do not quite understand your gospel, Sir Knight.It appears to be somewhat to this effect : do aa much as you please when you are woi king for yourself ; do as little sr you can when you are working for somebody el*e.This is all wrong The interests of the capitalist and laborer should he identical ; at present they are antagonistic.Capital and labor are in reality twin brothers ; at present the only sign of brotherhood manifest is tbe desire to fight.The golden rule is not observed.It is not all the fault of the laborer : it is not all the fault of the capital'** Tt\u2019ey er« both *o blame.This is not as it should be, but wherein lies tbe remedy?Educating the \u201cmasses\u201d is accomplishing much, in spite of the fact that when a man gets an f dotation he thinks himsrif too good for ordinary work, und rushes into one of the profei-siens.I think our most pressing need at present is tbe one suggested by Michael Angelo to Pope Paul IV.namely, a reformation in the opinions of tbe people.Tbis accompliab> d, eweeuing reforms would speedily follow,\u2014among others total abstinence from intoxiesnts, secured by a prohibitory law strictly enforced ; abolition of the protective tariff and reciprocity of trade between nations, disbanding or re-forming of many existing trade combinations, and the evopera-tion applied wherever possible.Would this bring the workingman\u2019s miltenm.um ?If ao, it may be hastened by the two great reforming agents, agitation and education, and list but not least by granting the franchise to women.Then let us prsv that com « It m*y.As oome It will for s' tbit.When men to men tbe world o'er Shall brlthers be and s' that.Ullah.COMMERCIAL.WITNBM Orrics.Frilisjr, Mxy 16.WUOLKSALE PRICES.English cable advice* report some Improvement la wheat, lint the markets are still slow.lieerbohm's cable advises to-day are as follows : \u2014 Cargoes oil coast, there eppesrs to be a better feeling ; corn, not much demand.Cargofe on passage and for shipment, wheat-Amnio in, firm; HumIxii, quiet ; do., corn, g >od demand for American, but Russian neglected.Liverpool wheat and corn, spot, firm.Liverpool mixed maize, 3s bid.Canadian peas, lis 5d.Mark Lan* English and foreign wheat, firmly held ; do., American maize, firm ; do., Danubian do , quiet ; do., Engllah and American flour, firmly held.Tbe Chicago wbewt market opened } lower at 922 ' July, and acid up to 93]o June, and 9j)c July, but declined again to »3!o July.Uraix.\u2014There I* nothing doing in Canadian wheat There Is no Manitoba wheat for tale and It Is said that Ittle mere than lfi,000 bushel# of Ontsrlo wheat have reached thia market sines list harvest and about th* same amount has been rttursed to Ontati).Prio.-s are nominal.There U some business In pea*, at 76|c for C6 IIk.afloat Some tales of oats havs occurred at 3Sc per 32 Ibe.for Lower Canada and lie per 82 lbs for Ontario oats.Bailey sells all the way froai 609 to 57c psr bushel as to sample.We quote Wheat, No.1 hard Manitoba.No.!
