We don‘t think much new light was shed on it, or that ~many novel arguments were adduced. One of the chief diffisulties in the handling of . all subjects of difference is to get at the facts. We are told they are stubborn things, and this appellation is not inappropriate ifâ€"the trouble of finding them be considered. The searcher for truth ‘must often be stubborn in his resistance to the obstacles in his way, if he hopes ever to reach it. The point of our remarks will be perfectâ€" ly undersiood when we state that one set of intelligentâ€"looking gentleman would no sooner affirm that ruin had fallen on cerâ€" tain Canadian industries, mainly on acâ€" count of the insufficient protection they received, and that the present condition of many of them was feebleness, threatening early decease, than another set would paint their prosperity in glowing colours, and credit it to that judicious assistance of late years accorded. We confess to have experieaced additional surprise as ‘well as perplexity, on learning from those who chailenge Canadian industrial . deâ€" cline, that the: manufactures of the States were flourishing beyond comparison, Many of us, daily reading «United States paper:; had arrived at the opposite conclusion, having naught but visions of closed facâ€" tories, mills on half time, and starving or needy operatives to excite our sympathies, There must be 1 mistake somewhere, and we suspect our friends of the Board are not wholiy clear of it., There is still great prostration of trade or indusiryâ€" in many mummummm of employment. We hope matters will soon mend there, but are convinced that. the present very high tarift will not hasten ‘ but retard the improvement. _ Certain it is that while it enhances enormously the New Reform Church % ;h:m-li‘l W sbtug Machine cagul Ottawa Lite:ary societyâ€"H. P. Hill It is a little surpring, at present, to learn of zuch a decision. as the telegraph has credited ‘the Secretary of the United States Treasory with, namely, that pilots and engineers of sieamboats employed upon the great lakes musts be citizens of the kepublic. ‘Consdering the vigour of the Free Trade movement in the States, at present, and the ‘ efforts â€"i.olhu‘ years by the National Board of Trade and Other representatives of advanced opinion in fiscal and commercial matters, to wean the general mind from theories of the exâ€" clusive ‘or" Clinese type, we should have expected moreâ€"liberality with the Adminâ€" istration. lt is pleasing to find that this order has met with disapproval even in the States, if we may jadge from the story that strong effortsare making to secure its re consideration. It certainly resembles such a reguiation as a very jeslous and feeâ€" ble Government might lay down in a period of war, excitement, or retaliation, agaicst some similar Government, and not what might te Iooked for at the hands of a great nation, built up of the citizens or emigrants of all other nations . We shou‘!d hope the order will be rescinded. The most liberal and enlightened citizens of Canada ard the Republic have been earnâ€" estly desiring a freer and kindlier interâ€" sourse oflate years, on commercial and still higher grounds _ A good deal has been done to wear down the oid asperities produced by the war, and ‘in regard. to which Canada had nothing to reprouch herself with, and the idea that progress Mlthfitbflhhlfl.nfiii‘nhd been made, has been a source of gratifica~ tion tomost people of the Dominion â€" We wish to live on the friendluest terms with our neighbours, and can see no reason why each of us should not be as, obliging and uohl:xld»lhooth«uponibu. ..

Nor are we without agreeable evidences of the good impression made by this knowledge. We have been told by the American delegates to the Dominion Board of Trade, now among us, that the feeling in favour cf improved trade rels> tions is extending rapitly, and leavening the minds of the leading men at Washingâ€" ton.

With regard to Canads, we hiye as a general thing done well, although our tariff is no more perfection than other buman devices. . Some inâ€" ‘dui.uies have languished even with the l «ssistance of fifteen per cent, freight and insurance thrown in ; but it is a question i waether insufficient skill in the workmen, or judgment in the managers, or lack of capital, my not constitute part of the explanation: Besides, this country does not afford an adequate market for certain wares of ‘costly or luxurious description, As reimarked yesterdsy in the discyssion, moreover, all industries can not equitably be put on the same footing. Some rrom‘ their matureâ€"whether on account of dear material, elaborate process, great nqnhno‘ skill in workmanship, or Qther . causes, may dbmand more aid than simpler and cheaper â€" manufactures. . ‘The . various circumstances, whether social, pecus niary, | or matural, _ must all be considered by wise tariff makers. It may be, as one of the speakers, Mr. White, stated, that a deficient revenue may deâ€" mand â€"an a‘teration of the tamff in the diâ€" rection of increased protection to our manufactures. We cannot~speak posi« tively on the point ; but should hope the deficit, if any, will be small, We remems« ber, however, Mr. Cartwright warning Mr. Tilley, last rpring, against rash or onerous undertakings, on the ground of the probaâ€" ility.of a commercial reâ€"action from the extraordinary prosperity of the preceding five years. It was considered a morbid or forced aevelopment, which pointed a warnâ€" ing to the country. Mr. Tilley did not think this a correct view,, and . talked sanguinely of our power to incur vast exâ€" penditure in lb’uildingou Pacific rail« way and other grand schermes. Events have shown that the cautious, economical policy was the best, and it is gratifying to | know that the gentleman who then urged his prudent yet unpalatable counsel in vain, is now in a position to repair, to some extent, his predecessor‘s errors, and carry out his own judicious views. It is but right to say, in conclusion, that the majority of the meeting were in fayor of a respectable amount of encéursgement to Canadian manufactures, and that the feel« ing out of doors wouid probably warrant a alight increase of the present dutiesâ€"to at least 20 per cent, to be '&mfia" # Oh tem 1 oh mores!"

Woods, of Quebes, said â€" that as the United States had a population of nearly forty millions, their prosperity was largely if not mainly due to free iutercourse withâ€" in such an immense region, and internal free trade among such « great population. The trade of Canada, l1st year, amounting to over 204 millions dollars, proved, by its great increase over that of the preceding year that our country was making satisfacâ€" tory progress. We had no tesson for shame or depression.

He trusted Mr. Waliker‘s motiou would be carried by a large thejority. _ c That in view of the large obligations alâ€" ready assfmed by the Dominion, and the fact that during the . fifst half of .. the cur» rent fiscal year the expenditure has ex« ceeded the revenue by a considerable sum, it is probable that some revisian of the fiscal policy of the Dominion will become noooutryduri.n‘the approaching session of the present Canadian Parliament. â€"â€" _ Be it resolved, that in the opinion of this Board the principle of protection to the manufacturing industries of the counâ€" try -hel:'ld be embodied in such m.‘&nd the tarifl, so far as the same can car» ried out consistently. with the commerce and revenue requirements of the country.
