Cartwright estimated to receive 13} mil lions from the customs, that this amount would have been received. He admitted he had been

statement. (Laughter.) He had felt that 133 millions would be suflicient. But in- stead of that, the Government had scarcely received 12 millions, and when they came face to face with this fact, it became their daty, in order to carry out the grand works they had on hand to facilitate the settle- ment of the country, to go-to Parliament and ask for extra money. (Cheers.) He would illustrate the case. He did not know how high the local taxes in Toronto were, nor the state of its local politics, but he would give the illustration nevertheless. He would suppose that in order to meet

the absolute necessities of a municipality,

say a city, it was necessary’ to assess two willions for all purposes. Suppose that for three or four

years the corporation failed to . assess or collect that amount. There would be a deficiency, and on a new corpo- ration coming in, they, in order to main- tain the credit of the city, impose a taxa- tien adequate to mect their responsibilities, after having reduced the expenditure by two or three hundred thousand dollars. In such a case, could they be charged with having increased the expenditure. (Cheer.s) This was exactly the position of the Gov- ernment in reference to this matter. He thought that those men, whose wives could wear silk and satin, could just as as well bear the extra duties as any other class. (Cheers.) The Government expected them to get $150,000 ont of these articles, but it was not to be charged to the National Policy, (Cheers.) They were told that manufactures had not inereased as rapidly as was predicted. When he was in Mon- treal, he was told that there were 2,000 more men employed in that city than on the 14th March, when he introduced the tariff. (Cheers.) They were employed, too, on full time. (Cheers.) One manufactur- er, politically opposed to the Government, telegraphed the day after the introduction of the tariff resolutions that he had his men on full time. In Hamiiton the same thing had ocecurred,and in Toronto no doubt there were similar instances. He had said to his friends at the time, ‘‘ don’t be too sanguine; recollect that there will be a large quantity of articles brought into the country before the tariff can come into etfect, because the

sople know the tariff will be increased.” It was not because there was any secret in- formation given, but because there was faith eutside as well as inside, that the promises of the Government would be car- ried out. Under the circumstances, there- fore, they could not expect the same amount of industry and manufactures for some time to come, as would have been probable had the policy of the Government not been ex- pected. The attacks made upon the Na- tional Policy reminded him of what a friend said to him a fortnight after Con- federation, *‘ Well, Tilley, we've been two weeks confederated, and 1 don’t see any changes yet.” (Laughter.) He would ask them, if they planted a seedling to-day, would they expect to gather ripe fruit to- morrow. We then became a nation; we had then broken down all the barriers that separated us as distinct Provinces, and the responsibility rested upon the electors and upon the statesmen of the Dominion to take advantage of these circumstances and make this the country which he had no doubt it would kecome. (Cheers.) He was not prepared to advocate the extreme policy which had been adopted in the United States ; but he would say: “ Let us adopt the patriotic fecling and sentiment which prevails there ; let us feel that we are no longer the inhabitants of small Provinces, but of a great Dominion ; let us feel that we have a bright era of prosperity before us.” Let us:feel that we must give em- ployment to those ef our people who desire to remain in the country and make ita prosperous and happy home for all those who desire to come into it. What was the country when it was still wild and un- settled! What was the North-West to-day, where only the foot of the savage had trod- den? It was labor and capital which had made this country what it was; and if we wanted to go on increasing in prosperity and strength, until it became the friendly rival of our neighbors across the line, we must have a policy which would make it and keep it what he felt the policy of the present Government would make it. (Cheers.)

Canadian Exports to Furope.

The Montreal Gazette stated, a few days since, that ‘“the sailing vessel Pucijic, which brought out a full cargo of glass from Antwerp, has been chartered to take out, on her return trip, 30,000 bushels of Canadian rye,” an” *hat Belgian orders had

>* been received for white wheat. And now

the same journal, in its issue of Saturday, informs us that the Belgians are acquiring a taste for Canadian beef, in the following terms :

‘* Not only have enquiries from Belginm been received here Tecently for Canadian wheat and rye, but the people in that part

of Kuro} t}

pe, having become enamored with

lithe succulence of Canadian beef, are new

solicitous to know the price of our fat cattle,

‘with a view to making direct impoftations.

At about the middle of the present month, Canadian steers were sold in the principal markets of Belgium at 1 franc per kilo- cramme live weight, or about 9} cents per lb., being nearly double the price at whic!

our choicest stock can be bought for here.

If, then, it pays to reship our live stock

from England to Belgium, surely it is a safe enough investment to export there direct.

Sales of Canadian saddle and carriage! horses have also recently been made in

Antwerp, at from 1,200 francs to 1,800 franes each, or $240 to 8360. In corbora- tion of the above, a private letter from Antwerp states that ‘ products of every kind are n&v being introduced into Bel- gium from Canada via England, even fat cattle and horses, and they give good satis- faction.’ This is a continental trade which, it strikes us, our exporters all round would do well to look after.”

Movement of the Marquis and Prin- cess at Quebec.

The weather at Quebec on Wednesday was anything but agreeable. Heavy rain commenced at midnight, and there has been a continual drizzling ever since. Men were busy up toa late hour on Tuesday night completing the preparations for the reception of the Vice-Regal party, whe arrived this morning by steamer ‘* Mon- treal,” and after landing her usual passen-

where she remained untii His Excellency and Her Royal Highness Princess Louise landed at 4.30, when they were conducted through an avenue of green trees planted upon the wharf to a handsome Pavilion. In this pavilion the Mayor was presented to His Excellency and Her Royal High- ness to Major DeWinton, the A. D. C. in waiting, when he formally welcomed the distinguished party to the ancient capital in the name of the Corporation and citi- zens. Of the two addresses, that in the French language was presented first and the English one afterwards, the Marquis replying in French. At the moment of landing a royal salute was fired from the guns of the Citadel. Immediately after His Excellency’s reply to the address, the members of the City Council and Reception Committee were presented, and the Vice- Regal party entered the Governor-Gen- eral’s carriage which was in waiting, ac- companied by one member of their staff, and preceded by the Mayor in his cafriage, were driven direct to the Citadel. Not- withstanding the unfavorable conditien of the weather the streets as well as the win- ‘dows and every prominent point en route to the Citadel were thronged with specta- tors. Windows were bought which com- manded a good view. Public and private residences as well as the streets were gaily decorated with flags. ;

Montreal has dishonored herself, and dis graced the Province of which she is the capital. In the first burst of sympathy for the unfortunate sufferers by the St. John, N. B., fire, acting apparently on the prin- ciple that he who gives quickly gives twice, she voted ten thousand dollars to be sent to their relief. No provision, however, was made for remitting the money, and time passed on and it was not sent. Several times application was made from St. Jon for the amount, and it was promised. But still it did not go, and now the wealthivst city of the Dominion proposes to repudiate her charity. We have no desire to play the Pharisee, but cannot help contrasting Montreal’s meanness in this matter with the readiness with which Toronto contribut- ed twice ten thousand dollars. — Mail.

With reference to the death of a child in Montreal, named Bordeau, which resulted from an overdose of Dr. Coderre’s infant syrup, the Hrening Post made some re- marks, on which Dr. Coderre, by his coun- se]. entered an action for $30,000 damages. The Post, on the 18th of December, called the syrup a quack, and on the 20th of May, on the death of the child Bourdeau, after having warned the public against the medi- cine, used the following words: * But if we denounce Dr. Coderre, he will take an action.
