No Ltd a View of better accommodating a Large number of the patrons of the free press we Nave opened a Branch office Cou Tinc room under charge of our re for the Ortho i scr press office july Goth saturday Jan. 5, 1878. Tub last act in the drama of the recent formidable rebellion in Japan has been played. Sargo and the other rebel chief Kirino both being among the slain. Fight ing is an expensive experience for a coun try and the Satsuma rebellion has been put Down at a Cost not less than yen about is opposition in Congress to the Bill for constituting the proposed new territory of Lincoln. Or. Corbett a Delegate from Wyoming bases his opposition mainly upon the. Argument that the population of the Ellills District is not of a sufficiently permanent character and he opposes the Bill because it provides for including a por Tion of Wyoming within the boundaries of the proposed new territory. Since Congress passed the army Bill the recruiting parties which had been drawn have recommenced operations in various of the United states it is thought that within three months the Feder Al army will be restored to its full strength men.

Reciprocity. From a Quebec paper of 1868. Article ii. The alleged cause of the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty was threefold. First that it was in some respects unequal secondly that Canada disregarded its spirit in her subsequent legislation and thirdly that the increased necessities of the United states arising from the civil War demanded a larger Revenue. The first of these propositions Bas been discussed at great length and formidable indeed is the accumulation of figures to be found in official and non official purporting to prove and Dis prove but really a Mere glance at the argument is sufficient to show what might easily have been conjectured that lord Al Gin Aud Daniel Webster and their several advisers knew about As much and were just As honest in the discharge of their respective duties As the men who lived to criticise their great work. Neither of the distinguished men we have named intended that this country should suffer by the treaty and up to the last hour of its exis tence the results justified their views and intentions. It is Plain that Canada must Access for her products to Christmas h. L.

It will be remembered by our readers that time Ngo the United states govern ment determined to expend in improvements on the lied River in accordance with a report of col. F. W. Fai Juhar . Engineer. During the season just closed the cd pin Liliuo bus made under charge of the of Lucial named. To Are indebted to a gentle atm now in Tho City for Tho following particulars Anent obtained from m a Chas. Assistant u. S. I Hig Ineer who had charge of the work Moorhe acl Aud Frog Point. Be tween those Points there Wero removed 300 and overhanging Mees which ii Lori even will enable Botts to run at All from e r 1113 troops. In addition to this the old sur lines mud with it View to locks and dams at c Oose rapids were re run. This work lasted from july 1st to dec. 28th, employed a gang of fourteen men and Cost the remaining of the appropriation was expended in Ina Kiru surveys from Frog j out towards Pembina for the purpose of estimating necessary improvements. This was performed by or. C. J. A. Mor Ris assistant u. S. Engineer of St. Paul it would certainly seem that the govern ment got i Ulm value for their outlay to Only Hope that the influences now being brought to Bear for further expenditure May be of Avail. Doubtless improvement of Goose rapids and a comparatively Small expenditure upon our Side of Tho of. Crooked rapids would give y Ife it ligation All the season Between Winnipeg and Moorhead thus giving us a virtual competitive freight route that might and doubtless would be availed of should any monopoly impose unbearable rates. The hell sul Dierks. The papers just now fairly teem with extracts from or. Theodore Martin s life of 11. Ii. To e Prince compiled from Vii rious journals which is not Only valuable Reading As a Page of history outcomes peculiarly apropos to the present crisis in re Gard to the eels torn question. It deals largely with the period of the crimean War giving us the View of a German Prince de voted wholly to England though not Alto Gether at the time. The Book is a giving the nation an in Side glance at the Domestic life of the Royal family such a loyalty and throne and and cannot fail to increase the affection for her majesty s person which Art Universal amongst her subjects. Our space does not admit of our producing Many extracts from this work which will doubtless be very read with immense interest. We select almost random a portion of a Pri vate letter from the Queen to Tho King of the belgians fit scribing the distribution of the honors to the crimean heroes. This took place at i Lime when parliamentary intrigues wore and lord John Russell was making if Orical Faux Pas at Vienna but the nation s heart was in the conflict with Russia and die ceremony of Tho distribution of the Victoria. Crews to the o had fought at Alma. In the of Leors and Mon , Ami olo c so near and extensive a Market but it were silly to suppose that the Republic did not also obtain what was eminently useful to her Commerce. It was arranged by the treaty that Twenty four leading articles the produce of the tilled soil the Forest and the mine in an unman a fractured state should be exchanged and this was the extent of the Gitin to Tho colonists. The United states got in Addi Tion the coasting Trade the registry of their ships in All colonial ports the free navigation of our Rivers and canals and All that was sought for on the fishery question. And Here two facts Are worthy of note in connection with this disparity. During the civil our hundreds of american vessels were sailing with British thus escaping heavy War insurance and being secure from destruction by Confederate cruisers while our particular gain by that our was that for the three years of its continuance we were deprived of nearly one half of the privileges stipulated for. By the rigorous blockade which extended from the Poto any disposition in Canada to violate treaty either in spirit or letter we do not believe. To Are not aware that any legislation of ours affecting the importation of articles from the United states not referred to As free was Ever remonstrated against from Washington and we must therefore conclude that the objections raised by certain Public speakers and writers to the increase of duty by our legislature on boots shoes after the treaty had taken effect was unauthorized and a Good Deal in the nature of party Cla mor. The pretext that the United states could my tonally increase its Revenue by abolishing the treaty is More plausible than those we have referred to but is of qually unsound. That the country will for years to come require a Large Iov i Enue with which to meet the interest on the National debt is self evident but a health Ful and prosperous Trade is a much surer source of income than unreasonable tariffs. Take for example the effect of the Mori ill Tariff upon the Trade Between France and Tho United states. In i860 the former country imported from the latter goods to the value of in 1sg1 the Tariff referred to was passed when this Large figure began to decrease and in 1866 it was Down to in .i860. France exported to the United states to the amount of in 1s66, the figure was in i860, the United states stood in the second rank of the nations from which France Drew her supplies. In 1sg6 they were Down to the fourteenth rank. Such was the evil effect upon the Trade Between two great nations of an ill judged Tariff. Contrast it with Tho Happy relations established Between France and England by the Cobden treaty a continuance of the present commercial estrange ment Between the United states and the Dominion of Canada must Lead to proportionally bad results. In a recent article we showed to what a remarkable extent Trade Between us increased under the reciprocity treaty. Canada As we have admitted was a gainer. Hear How the Organ of the United states government the Washington Intelli Goncer sums up the advantages to that country the navigation of the St. Lawrence by a Hundred american vessels j the exportation of nearly four millions of dollars Worth of american goods and merchandise to the British provinces the revival of the Ameri can fishing interest the exportation of More flour to the North Eastern provinces than we import from the Western a vast increase of the amount of transportation upon our own roads and canals and the reduction to con Sumers of the Price of lumber 1 is it not strange passing strange that a statesman of or.
