Washington, D. 0., Aug. 13.â€"â€"The Senate tariff bill has passed the House. As there is no dollbt that the President will either approve it or permit it to become law without his signature, Can- adians can begin to study what effect the new law will have upon their indus- tries. After all the agitation of the last twelve menths the bill that has passed the House tonight is the bill that passed the Senate, without the change of a word or letter. There are some known errors in the bill, but they are not changed. It was the decision of the Deniwcratic leaders that it would not be safe to send the bill back to the Senate for any amendment whatever, bL-Cause of the fear that it would be defeated. The bill can be approved by the President within ten days, or it can become a law without his signature in ten days, it the Congress shall remain in session; and it is the expectation that. the sc<sion will continue. The articles in the tariff in which Canada has the chief interest have not been changed from the bill. The agricul- tural schedule is unaltered. Lumber, including even finished lumber, is free. Coal is not free. The great efforts of the President to secure free coal have- becn unsuccessful; nor is it probable that the separate bill which will be proposed to pass in the House, to put coal on the free list. will be passed by the Senate this session. Senator Gor- man, whose bill was passed by the House to-day, and who has triumphed in this matter, said to-night there would be p0 more tariff legislation at this 2385510“. The House to-night passed a bill to put bituminous coal. shale slack and coke on the free list, but so far as this session goes the bill is a mere declara- tion of principle. There is no proba- bility that there will be a quorum in the Senate after Wednesday next. There are no changes in the agricul- tural schedule, iron ore or lumber, ex- cept that finished lumber was put on the free list. There were six hundred and thirty‘thrcc amendments, none of which affect Canada particularly except finished lumber. -â€"â€"â€"o-0 Amongst the passengers on board the steamship Sardinian, which arrived at Montreal on Sunday, was Hon. Edward Blake. Mr. Blake is in the best of health. At a lonely place near Minuor, in the \Vashington District, 40 masked men raided the cabin of a woman named "‘Sis" King, of doubtful reputation, and dragged the woman from bed. Af- ter she had been given 78 cuts with a hickory switch she was left senseless on the ground. It is said the whipping was participated in by a number of business men who stand well in the community. ‘ Another Letter from Chicanadian. "o the Editor Mike Tendon Falls Gazelle. Stu,â€" Another difference between American and Canadian practice is seen in the elec~ tion of all county oflicers by vote of the people. Why a sheriff, or recorder of deeds, or county inspector of schools, should not be chosen by the people themselves, does not seem clear to people over there. I have often been told by Americans that Canada must be a line place for those who hold county ofliccs for life. County inspectors of Schools are regarded as other officers of the county, and must go back to the people for rc-elcction or rejection by them. More- over, there is always but one inspector for a whole county, as opposed to two for a county here, making the supervision of schools there much cheaper and permitting the teachers to be better paid. I am com- pelled to say that the elected superinten- dent seems a much more useful man than he who is to the manner born. An elected otlicer, in general, is more energetic in dis- charging his duties, more approachable, and much more civil. Many a time have I seen an able man re-elcctod by the votes of the party opposed to him, because of his great usefulness. Party spirit may run high in the States. but, at the same timeâ€"to quote Andrew Cnrucgie's congratulatory cablegram to President llurrison when the latter was re-nominnted in 1802â€"“ the Americans known good thing when they see it." An inevitable result of this really tree and representative system is seen in the Spirit and temper of the people there. All profoundly love their country; every mun secs before him the same avenues and the shine invitations to success. and, if suc- : coss comes not. he makes the language of - Cassius his very own. 11:: “ The fault, dear Brutus. is not in our Stars. but in ourselves, ' ‘ m. l They demand a high price for their services, 3 hence all articles into whose manufacture f hand-labor enters largely are more costly I than in Canada or Europe. I heard James , G. Blaine speak at South Bend, Indiana, in i 1884, while touring the country as a presi- l dential candidate. I recall these words l very clearly: "‘ I was speaking to .\Ir. . 3 the Philadelphia shipobnilder, the other day, and said he to me, ‘ That ship cost me $500,000, and only $5,000, or one per cent. of that cost was paid for material, the ,other 99 per cent. being paid for labor.’ Of course, he took the timber in the tree, the iron in the mine,etc ” Bread in Lindsay and Toronto is five cents for a two~pouud loaf, exactly what it is in Melbourne, Aus- tralia. In the States it is five and six cents for a one-pound loaf, even where flour is cheaper than in Canada. The American farmer, discovering a general decline in | the profits of the farm, recently demanded a higher protection on farm products imâ€" ported into the country. and his demands were enacted in the .lchinley law. Thus it may be seen that cousin Jonathan takes care of his own interests first. Many Canadians and nearly all English- men fancy that the South entertains hostile feelings against the North as a. result of the late civil war, and that in case of foreign war the country would be divided against itsrlf. No greater mistake could be made. The once “ solid South ” is no longer solid, and long since confessed its error, and today the public men of that section yearn for opportunities to display their loyalty. The country that invites a quarrel with the American republic on the supposition of Southern disall‘ection would find itself in the position of the man who interfered with a quarrel between man and wife. The general depression existing in the United States now began over a yearngo, and was caused mainly by the peculiar financial system of the country. It may be readily understood. European capitalists have billions of dollars invested in the United States, and as these securities ma- tured they accepted the money in many instances instead of renewing the paper. This caused enormous shipments of gold to Europe. These drains upon the gold of the country alarmed other investors at home and abroad, and they, too, demanded pay- ment in gold as fast as their securities kc pt maturing, fearing lest they should be com- pelled to take their money in silver, which was already depreciated enormously by the increased outputs of the mines and by the stoppage of silver coinage in India. Every- body wanted gold or treasury notes. Fear seized depositors, who rushed for their money. The banks tottered, and scores of them to“ before the stampede. Manufac- turers could not make collections and the bunks could not lend; so, factories had to shutdown all over the country, and mil- lions became idle. There is no post-office savings bank in the United States, as there is in Canada and England and nearly every country in western Europe. The Govern- ment does not become responsible for a dollar put into any bank, and, as a result, in any panic such as this, thousands lose their all. The people of the western silver States demand unlimited coinage of silver, and this in spite of the fact that the coun- try cannot circulate more than $60,000,000 in silver, and the accumulation of a train- load of silver bullion in the national treasury. So there is a constant conflict between the gold interests and the silver interests. Every mortgage contains a clause requiring repayment “in gold of standard fineness.” Canadians cannot value too highly their banking system, which has no superior in the world. Many do not know that the Bank of Montreal has no rival on the Continent of America. But the post-office savings bank is its brightest feature. A score of attempts have been made to secure this institution in the States, but the bankers of the country kill every such bill introduced into Congress. Such a bank would have prevented the present distress there, for depositors, knowing that the Government stood back of the counter, would have made no rush on the savings banks, by which not they took millions out of circulation. It is the business ofn. Gov- ernment to aid the people by sound institu- tions, and President Lincoln, on the field of Gettysburg, assured the citizen soldiers, in words quoted on every stump, that he de- sired to make theirs “ a government of the people, for the people and by the people," and yet their thrifty poor are denied a government savings bank, an institution in which the careful Canadian has over twenty-five millions saved up for a rainy dav.
