KEROSENE O:L DUTIES Tue morning organ of the Opposition invites its readers to a comparison of the ii duties and the income tax imposed by the Provincial Government. Many per- aeons mm this Province know, to thei cost. that. by the income tax, $10, $20, or $39 tof their pockets; an } some were lake oul of these, as we know, have lictle of the in- come left at the end of the year, after the necessities of their households have been supplied a rd their accounts paid Now, how about the oil tax? While dizecuesing this quest it is worth wh le to say that the Conservative party did not at anv time increase the duty upon oil The daty of sever and one-tifth cents per imporisi gailon was just the duty that Sir Richard Cartwright left upon it in L878. At one time, indeed, under Grit rale, coal cil, by excise and customs duty, was taxed to the extent of fifteen cents a gallon; aud it was a remarkable thing that while coal oil—the industry in connection which was situated in the district repre- of the protected, pre indus: sented by the Premi:r country — was highly tection was re fused te other tries this one. | Tiat is te sav, the grits imposed heavy oi! quite as deserving as duties in violation of their own free t: principles!

Arthe same time the Canadian refiners’ attention wa- fact that the country at as low a price as ealled to the their oil was not being sold to consumers in various parts of the it should be, considering the price which | they charged for it at their refineries, In consequence of this the Canadian refiners made it their business to see that retailers deait squarely with the consumers, and in cases where they could not succeed with local men we are told that special agencies were established for the purpose, Altogether the effect has been, in most portions of the Dominion, that Canadian coal oil bas been offered to consumers at prices very little over half the charged before the matter was taken in price which they were hand. Last year the Government again showed their interest in the consumers by 1-3 cts. per Imperial gallon to 6 ets. per Impcrial gallon. The result of this legislation. and of the development of our oi! wells, is that duty from 7 reducing the oil, as in the case of other thing, can now be purchased ai prices never befure quoted The best American oil is to- day on sale by retail at our grocery and in Canada. harlware stores at the rate of 22 cents per gailon, and an excellent quality of Cana- oi] can be obtained at 16 cents per We are informed by one who has dian gallon. supplied a large number of our farmers with oil, that six gallons make up about the average quantity consumed by each farm household per year, involving a total cost of $1.32 for the best American, or 96 cents per year for the best Canadian, As to the oi! duties, the total amovnt paid by the whole people of Canada in 18953 for light- ing “purposes was $430,564.17, or about 124 cents per head of the population, This against ihe large amounts paid by citizens aud others on account of income tax. Grit politicians will, ere long, begin to ery out “Save us from our morning ergan.” The Government is pursuing a wise policy, namely, the policy’of reducing the duties in oil to as low a point as pos- sible compatible with the existence of our own .Canadian industry, rather allow the destruction of that industry and the consequent yielding up of the Canadian consumers to the tender gigauti¢c monopoly against who:e imposi- tions the people of the United States tind themselves compelled to invoke {the ail of the courts of Justice. So long as the the Canadian industry deal fairly with the public, it is in the than mercies of a owners of public interest of Canadato keep them here, if on no other ground at least upon the ground of having within our own bor- ders a competitor to the giant monopoly to which we refer.

Policy the population of Moutreal increased in the decade, 1881- $1, by 61,413 souls, or 393 per cent., and the output of establishments having a value of a million dollars and over was $28,416,554, as compared with an output of $12,263,159 in the preceding census year. It is ridiculous to suppose that new activity can be infused into the manufac- turing industries of the country by a policy designed to encourage the importation of foreign goods, as is proposed by the Lib- era) party. : Tre fastidious Englishman thinks of Pooie when he decides that he wants a new suit of clothes.

The | Conservatives are doing exactly that very thing, only they go a little further and say, “We will encourage new industries in the Dominion and grant protection on the seods they manufacture, for we have found that in a few years competition regulates the price to the consumer to the seribing the adventures of that pseudo | lowest possible point.” These facts are knight of chivalry, fw have been found | all patent to the people—that is, to the with sufficient bravery to build “wind-| thinking intelligent people who live in the mills” of their own imagining in order to} country and are called farmers.

It has been said that an idea that is right in tveory, is right in practice and should be practicable; but we all know, our common sense teaches us, that many theories which undoubtedly are founded on the highest ethics, are wholly un- workable under existing circumstances. Christians Nene among intelligent | dispute the Godlike teachings of the |Sermow on the Mount, in which the Saviour of men taught the highest ideal of | life ever put forth for the guidance of humanity. There are few, if any, who would contend that the scriptural injunc- tion is wrong which says, “If any man sue thee at law and take away thy coat, | let him have thy cloak also. And who- | soever skal] compel thee to go a mile, go | with him twain. Give to nim that asketh | thee; and from him that would berrow of of the, turn not thou away.” And vet how few live up to this command! Un- | der existing conditions, the most devout must admit that it is impossible to carry out such exalted theories of living. | These reflections have been caused by rcaling lately some articles in the Island Guardian, whose editor, like Don Quixote, has mounted his steed and couched his lance in defence of the theory of Free Trade. For some time past, the editor of that journal has been challenging one and all to break a lance with him on this poli tical question; but finding that none would meet him, he bas, like Cervantes’ hero, erected a “windmill” to have a tilt at. Readers of the Guardian have seen a ser- ies of articles in that paper intituled “Mis- | taken Premises” written over the signature lof W. T. P., in which, in a_ half-hearted | way, the writer detends protection. Those | who read between the lines can readily | know who 1s the author, of what I must call the Guardian’s windmill. The inter- nal evidence is strong that the gallant knight who wields the editorial pen for he Guardian, has built him this “wind- mill,” so thathe might demoiish it in the editorial columns. To damn with faint praise is an old literary artifice. and this is not the first time that versatible genius has taken two sides of a question so as to more effectually champion the cause it loves. 3ut as can be readily shown, it is not the moral rightness of Free Trade that the people of Canada have to consider. It is its practicability. Were all nations imbued with the same high principles that actuate the editor of the Guardian; were FreegTia le the is.ternational law ef, at least, all civil- ized countries, then could Canada hoist the banner of Free trade to the breeze and de- vise other ways and means for iaising & revenue. The argurents used in favor of Free Trade carry with them a certain smount of force that no intelligent stadent of Poli- tical Economy can deny. But unfortunate- ly this theory, like many othctrs, is im- practicable for a young and growing coun try like Canada, situated, as it is, alongside a powerful neighbor, ready atall times to snatch the advantage in any trade that comes within its grasp. Protection to mann- facturers may be stigmatized as “legalized robbery of the many for the benefit of the few;” but history teaches that without such stimulation, capital will not make new investments in any country. For loug years England recognized this fact and seduously protected her manufacturing in- dustries, until such time as they were in a position to stand against the world. In fact England with the bauner of Free Trade floating high, is to-day protecting her manufacturers a3 cffectually as in former times; fur the cheapening of the food of the people enables the manufac- turers(in acountry where suflicient food can not be produced at a reasonable outlay) to compete in the co-t of production. of their wares with all the world,especially whencc a’. the foundation of mannfacturing power, can be cheaply obtained. InCanadathe circum- stances are very different. Here we have an almost unlimited area for the produc- tion of food. Here we have natural ai- vantages such as the highway from the West to the Atlantic that a far-seeing statesman-like policy has secured by the expenditare of $79,000,000 for canals, and of over $200.000,000 for railways which now, and will in the future, exact a toll for the benefit of Canada from millions of bushels of grain and thousands of tons of freight that annnally will pass by the shortest highway from the West to the markets of the world. In fact, so patent has this become that the Legislature of New York state is at the present time considering the necessity ot spending an additional $20,000,- 000 ~=—s of money in order to offset to some extent the greater facilities afforded by the Canadian route, the ad- vaniages of which have been estimated by a competient authority as cqual to5 cents per bushel or 1.65 per ton over that afford- ed by the United States canals and rail- ways to New York. Canada has except- ional advantages for manufacturing many lines of goods, and the history of the past fifteen years shows, that with reason- able inducement, capitalists will invest in this country. Food is eheaper in this couutry than it is in England, and none need be imported; aud the protection given to the farmers produce, while not unduly increasing the cost of living, preserves the home market for him. Fault has been found with the Dominion Government for the increased debt; but those who do so only;,look at the aggregate ot the figures; they do not consider what has been obtained for the expenditure. The oppo- sition cry of wasted money in some cases had been true; but unfortunately such charges are true of all governments, be they Liberal or Conservative. The large expenditure by Canada for public works necessitates the raising ofa very considerable amount of revenue in order to pay the interest and sinking fund of the indebtedness and thereby maintain the high financial standing the Dominion has secured, besides carrying on its Gov- ernment. Consequently, taxation has to be borne by the people in some way, and the only question is asto how it shall be levied, The Guardian’s theory of single tax on land is not within the purview of practi- cal politics, even if it were just, which it is not; even if it were workable, which it is not The Taberal party advocate taxation for revenue. That is exactly what the Conservative party ix doing. In fact, this year they have hardly imposed a suffi- cient amount. The Liberal party, by their platform, ; . after supper each evening and reads and ponders over what he learns, both from ‘them and the newspapers. Why, often one will meet the brightest minds in the | country farmhouse, where you find that | the works of authors of world-wide cele- | brity have been read and re-read until their contents are thoroughly understood.These books are not kept for show, like they are too often in the houses of the city residents, Yet it is not because the urban population have less interest in public questions, or because they are Jess intelligent thattheir,country cousinsare bet- ' ter informed. The citizen has so many other occupations and amusements in the even- ing to take his attention that only one in } a hundred has any taste for study. The , farmer'has little, if anything else, to do | after darkness comes than to improve his mind; and ina large number of cases he ; does so effectually. Manya time has the writer heard eriticisms of public men and | questions from young farmers that if giveo from the platform or the press wou!d com- mand wide attention. And besides, not- | withstanding what may be said about | the faults of the free school system of th’s | Province, the school-master has been {abroad fur nearly forty years; and in tie | mind of many a village or country Hamp- den the principles that build up a great nation have been inculcated and deeply rooted, 2 Editors educated in cities, and who have had little acquaintance with the thoughts and opinions of the forming popu- lution, as expressed at their own firesides, judge that the farmers are ignoramuses, who will attach importance te their diatri- bes about the iniquities of the tariff, be- cause kerosine oi) and some other articles of common use have a high tariff imposed upon them. But they forget that farmers’ know that they must contribute to the revenue and that the present system, bears as lightly upon them as any heretofore im- pozed, When editors rail against the tax on kerosene oil, thetarmers who read their editorials quietly calculate the amount they have to pay on account of. this taxa- tion; and when they find that the ordinary farmer only pays on kerosene oil about $2 per annum, as his contribution tuwards the revenue, and has n» taxation to pay for lis tea, sugar, molasses, and scores of other articles that his farm can not pro- duce, heshrugs his shoulders and says, “If that is all they can find fault with the Government about, fur one won't join them.” . This article has lengthenened to a greater space than intended; but before concluding, I would advise the editor of the Guardian to get Carlyle’s essay on the “Diamond Necklace,” and read what the great exposer of those who fullow “formulae” and “fixed ideas,” has to ray on these matters. As Carlyle says, “Give the wisest of us once a fixed idea and where is our wisdom. My friends beware of fixed ideas.” : ’ O.

Mr. D. Laird’s attempt at logic is the only remarkable feature of the paragraph. He says: “The same body that passed a rule can rescind it , if due notice be given.” Whit wonderful reasoning. No use passing re- solutions now, for ‘‘the same body can re- rescind them.” Mr. Laird says a “bye-law would be stronger than a resolution.” Of course inferentially, because the same body can(not) rescind it.
