Operation of the Tariff. Tue report of the Select Committee Appoint d by the House of Commons to enquire into the operation of the tariff on the agricultural interests of the Dominion is at hand. It is a large volume full of

statistics and opinious drawa from the |

best sources. To ascertain by com- parison the relative extent of the Cana- dian Home Market under the present |

tariff, the Com- | mittee. cuused to be made carefully com- piled tables from the Trade and Naviga-| tion Returns of 187677 and 1877-78, and off 1879-80 and 1880-81; and to test the effect of the tariff on the value

tariff! and the former

of farm: products in the same years, a) comparrison was made between our]

; a | domestic markets and those foreign |

markets to which our surplus farm pro- ducts are usually sent,

The opinions of leading farmers re- siding in all partsof Casada were also obtained.

From these data, the Committee after careful deliberation, conclude (1) that a very large additionai domestic market has been secured to the Canadian far- mers as the result of the exclusion of American agricultural products from consumption in Canada; (2) that the earrying trade of foreign agricultural products in transit to Europe has_ been increased very largely in 1880 and 1881, as compared with 1877 and 1878; and (3) that though the consumption of United States farm products in Canada has decreased to the extent of $12,000 000 worth, the revennes collect ed on imported American farm produce was, for the years 1880 and 1881, $1,247 967 as against $514,679 collect- ed in 1877 and 1878, being au increase of $833 288.

The Committee state further that Canadian prices of farm products com- pare as favorably upon the whole with prices in Chicago and New York under the preseut tariff as under the old tariff; aud they cite quotations showing that the relative value of farm produce has increased in 1880 and 1881 as compared with Liverpool, G. B.

Asto the effect the National Policy has had upon the exportation of farm products, they submit the following statement, showing the value .of such exports in each year siuce 1870:

The Committee note the fact that in 1871 72-73 the exports of farm produce were much below the subsequent years, from 1874 to 1878 inclusive; yet busi- nes® was prosperous in the former period and depression existed in the latter. But since the present tariff came into operation, our people have not only supplied the additional home markets of $12,059,131, given by the exclusion of American farm produce, but have also exported very largely. This leads them to the conclusion that the present tariff has stimulated ard encouraged the pro- duction of farm products.

Witnesses examised by the Committee assert that the removal of the duty from tea and coffee is a boon to the farming community.

“Standard Time.”

To-pay the Railway and the Post Office commenced operations under the new standard of time. These are two powerful regulators. In giving the time under both the local aod the standard in the winter time table, Mr. Coleman has done well; aad everyone should clip the advertisement out of THe Examiner and put it where it may be easily referred to.

The Exchange Bank.

Tue failure of the Exchange Bank of Moutreal was due to causes similar to those which caused the failure of the Bauk of Prince Edward Island. An incompetent and reckless manager. and & too easy directorate. Ata meeting of the shareholders held a few days ago, the chairman said ‘the directors were in total ignorance; they had been hood- winked and fooled.”

St. Vincent de Paul Society.

Tris Society has doue a good work; and, as appears by the statement of the Treasurer published to-day, it is now “sailing pretty close to the wind.” No doubt contributions will now flow in, and it will be placed in a position to meet the demands which maybe made upon it duriug the winter season.

THe Rev Mr. Massey, of Montreal, at a meeting held a few evenings ago, offered those precent a six foot argument in support of total abstinence, viz , himself. He had, he said. for fifty-three years never. tasted intoxicants, either here or in England, his native country During all these years he had never found it necessary to resort to alcholic stimulents and he had always enjoyed the best of health. Fle urged al} his hearers to shan the wine glass as they would the evil one, and to take &@ con- sistent stand for temperance.

O'Leary Notes. Basiness is very dull around the village since we had the heavy snow storms,

The oat trade has been very good this fal considering the low prices.

Pork and geese are ia good demand.

The greatest.rush is to Capa Wolfe, the sevne of the gold fields, where they are gathering together the precious metal.

It seems our genial friend Mr. T. B. Grady, ticket agent at Summerside, is following tie fovtsteps of P. T. Barnum, as he has received a small consignment of wild beasts of the forest from here by ex- press train yesterday under special care of Conductor Kelly. It is not known here whether he intends putting them on Exhibi- tion this season. The general impression is that the captor has gold out his interest in the animals.

O'Leary, Dec. 8, 1883.

GEORGE GENSLER, a young man _ from Albany, died at the Emergency Hospital, Beffalo, on December 4th. Gensler left Chicago for Albany one day last week, At Erie he was robbed and was forced to continue his journey on freight trains. Last Tuesday night he boarded a freight car at Eact Buffalo, bound east. On Sunday he told the hospital surgeon that the last he remembered he was sitting dozing in the cahoose. Then came a blank, _ When he awoke he was lying on the railroad track near Corfu. One leg was mangled in a _ fearful manner. He dragged himself a quarter of a mile to a farm house, wea cared for ovcr night and the next day was forwarded to Baffalo. At the hospital it was found necessary to am: putate the limb. Before his death Gensler, who was a bright young fellow, told his story to the physician He believed that while asleep he descended from the train at Corfu aod was struck by another train. The exact manger in which he was hurt will never be

known. a Oe
