Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - December 10, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba Manufacturers in Council. From the Globe. The late conference of manufacturers in this City did not develop any new feature in the Case they have on several occasions presented to the Public although in some respects the conclusions to which they came differed from those arrived at on former occasions. There is no doubt that at the pre sent time manufacturers in common with everyone else Are suffering from the prevailing depression of Trade on this Conti nent. It is not perhaps very wonderful either that they should Hope to achieve by legislation some measure of but that they or any of us can make Money cheap and plentiful and Trade brisk under present circumstances by any legislative Effort they can hardly anticipate. The very fact that the cities of the United states Are crowded with working men in the vain search for employment and that surplus stocks of Ameri can manufactures arc being disposed of in Canada at ruinous prices shows that the crisis is quite Independent of Protection on the one hand or free Trade on the other unless indeed the Over production May be ascribed More or less to the fiscal system in Vogue on the other Side of the line. The Canadian manufacturers had As on former occasions a Groat difficulty in com ing to any definite conclusion As to the de mands they should put Forward. , no in a great measure from the variety of interests represented we Are now not going to discuss the Princi ple involved in a demand for a prot Active Tariff it May not be amiss to Point out that the great difficulty experienced in attempt ing to establish Protection is to be found in the fact that everybody wants the Tariff adjusted from his own Point of View and with regard to his own assumed necessities. What is Protection to one is no Protection at All to another or even perhaps a direct injury. However the manufacturers at last agreed on a series of resolutions which May be briefly stated As follows 1 that a duty should be levied on Allag Ricu Tural products imported into Canada from the United states. 2 that the per cent Tariff on goods imported into Canada from great Britain should be raised to 20 per cent. .3 that the duties levied on imported manufactured goods from foreign countries United states should be equal to the duties charged on Canadian imported goods by the governments of such foreign countries. 4 that the practice of allowing entries tie malay outbreak. An English correspondent of a Canadian newspaper says i Hope that by the tune you receive this letter the malay rising will be suppressed. Our latest information is of a serious Char Acter indicating a probability of a general insurrection and a religious War. It would seem As if the inhabitants of British Malacca emboldened by the protracted and partially successful resistance of the malays at Acheen to the dutch forces think that the time has come when they also can drive out the Bri Tish. And they have assassinated or. Birch our resident Consul at Captain Innes and some soldiers have also been killed. Fifty one years ago we obtained Possession of Penang and Malacca. This new accession to the Empire was designated the Straits settlements and until 18c7 were under the governor general of India since then they have been a separate Colony with their own governor. The immediate occasion of the present outbreak seems to be this about two and Twenty months ago there was a dispute As to the succession to the then vacant throne. Sultan Abdallha was the rightful heir but a usurper called Ismail seized the throne and was proclaimed Sultan by his f re booting followers. We perhaps imprudently interfered in favor of the rightful heir appointed or. Birch to be British resident at Perak together with a Mere handful of soldiery for his Protection. The revolutionary party were frustrated but also exasperated. They continually plotted against the reigning Sultan and against us. Now they have risen against both and where unto this thing May grow no one can Tell. We have three gunboats and 400 men in the Straits of Malacca and the British govern ment have Given orders for men and several gun boats to be sent immediately from Calcutta and Hong to de.

Bannatyne wholesale retail 5 that a duty of per ton should be imposed on All pig Iron imported and a Bonus of per ton allowed by the govern ment allowed on All Iron produced in Canada for ten years. The other suggestions relate to the affiliation of the manufacturers association with the Dominion Board of Trade and the establishment of a Bureau of manufactures and Commerce. The first proposition certainly has not the Merit of Novelty. The subject of taxing american agricultural produce has been discussed Over and Over again. Whilst the Farmer would certainly gain nothing in the form of increased prices by the imposition of a duty on products of which our own country yields a surplus there Are very grave objections to the measure on other grounds. The Canadian produce merchant would at once find his operations checked if his business were not Only destroyed by the imposition of fiscal burdens and restrictions of. A Trade that is now free. Grain it is True might pass through Canada in Bond but whilst that system would impose much trouble and annoyance on the shippers and merchants it would have a tendency to take the Trade out of the hands of canadians altogether and thus inflict a direct injury upon Commerce. We should also find that the maritime provinces which Are Large buyers would object very strongly either to the advancement of the Price of american flour or any restraint upon its free importation. It is quit s evident that although the manufacturers agreed to ask Only an in crease of per cent on British goods Many of them were far from satisfied with so Small an Advance. But the real move ment is directed against the americans. The manufacturers want to see a retaliatory policy adopted towards the unit eco states from which Quarter undoubtedly comes the severest Competition. They desire nothing Short of a War of tariffs with a country wit i which Canada did business in 1873, including exports and imports to the amount of or one third of the whole Trade of the Dominion. And this too when there is a struggle going on in the United states Iii favor of a More Liberal fiscal policy. Protection has at All times found advocates in that country and the classes interested have Ever been ready to turn opportunities to account. Still the defenders of a High Tariff have always sought for a justification in the necessities of the Public Treasury. The proposal of the Canadian manufacturers is so openly and avowedly aggressive that it would probably Only provoke irritation without accomplishing the object desired. The proposal to impose a duty of per ton on pig Iron is opposed to the position hitherto assumed by the advocates of Protection in Canada who have always been understood of the this and to would be very grave economical objections. But this As Well As the first propositions was probably adopted rather with the View of conciliating support from some quarters than from any deliberate sense of its Wisdom or propriety. However it is Well the manufacturers should meet and fairly discuss these or any other matters appertaining to their interests and if there were any Leiti mate Means of affording them Relief from such grievances As they May suffer or think they suffer under we should be glad to know them and see them fairly considered. At present however we doubt after Reading the report of their late proceedings whether they have a very Clear apprehension of the probable effects of that which they profess to desire if it were granted them.

I profits of ton years ago John Mackey was a mining labourer in Virginia City at four dollars a Day. To Day he has a larger income than any other single individual in America and if his wealth continues to accumulate As it has for the last two years his Fortune will rival that of Tho richest Rothschild. He owns three fifths of the mining properties of flood o Brien Mackey and fair. The firm own shares of consolidated Vir Ginia Stock on which they declare a monthly dividend of ten dollars a Shore. Mao key a share of this is a month. Of Stock in the California mine they own shares. The first monthly dividend of ten dollars is to be declared in november and this will add to or. Mackey s income 0_00 a month. The other mines that the firm control pay no dividends but they yield a Large dividend to the firm in ways More indirect. For instance the firm owns All the Wood used in their working both for fuel and for timbering and they sell it to the companies at an immense profit. The Savage Hale and Norcross and Gould and Curry All crush More or less Ore and this is done in the firm s Mills at a Cost of thirteen dollars a ton. The yield of Silver being scarcely enough to pay the Cost of both mining and crushing assessments Are made to make up the deficiency. The firm s in come from this source and from crushing the Ore of the consolidated Virginia which is also done in their own Mills is estimated at a month of which we May put or. Mackey Down for the whole of his income from All sources is estimated at a month or nearly a year. He is the most modest and retiring of Tho California millionaires. Hall s Standard safes.

Mcdougall by publishing certain statements when he was a candidate for East York terminated with a verdict for the plaintiff with damages amounting to Twenty five cents. The evidence As summed up by the judge went to show that or. Mcdougall applied for a Patent which would have deprived the Silver islet mining company of their rights if it had been granted. He did not know his Patent included the islet nor did his son in Law or. Seymour expect to get anything More than the land covered by water. This we have upon their Evi Dence. It was therefore not True that there was collusion Between or. M. C. Cameron and we. Mcdougall to perpetrate a Job. It was also untrue that we. Mcdougall was plotting to extort blackmail from the owners and workers of the mines in Silver islet. The Case appears to have been dealt with fairly and kept quite apart from political differences.

Holds that by no other Means could he do so much for the future of a neighbourhood As by placing. Good Reading in every family. Successive attacks upon the during each of the past three years culminating in what has Cecii called the ban of the roman Catho he Bishop of Montreal although not otherwise., desirable circumstances have done a great Deal to concentrate and intensify Tho Zeal of the friends of Temperance and religious Liberty in favor of the indeed with the most untiring efforts to break Down the paper on the part of the most powerful moral opposition that could be organized on Earth and has resulted in cutting us off from some at least of those roman Catholic readers whose Good will we formerly enjoyed and highly prize gives us some claim on the kind offices of those Olio value free speech and Freedom of religious belief. The actual diminution of the circulation of the daily witness is of course Connar Lively Small amounting to about 000 out of 13.000, or less than four per cent., and does not affect us Pecunia Rily As we can still claim a circulation equal in volume to that of All the rest of the Dally City press probably the majority of our old roman Catholic renders being such still. We have Good reasons to be specially desirous to reach Tho whole country this Winter and have the witness presented earnestly to the notice of every family.
