In the course of a speech occasion to say that in 1858 there was a deficit of in 1860, in 1861, and in 1863, As our readers must have been award from paragraphs republished in these columns from the St. Paul papers there has lately been going on in the Minnesota legis cleared that All disguised is a lo3s per be that if is the duty sacred duty of the government to take from the people Only what is necessary to the proper discharge of the Public service and that taxation in any other is simply in one shape or other legalized returning once More to Tho consideration of the actual state of affairs in Canada it is pertinent to ask is there not already sufficient incidental Protection afforded though Only for purposes of Revenue the 15 per cent and Valorme duties which satisfied the important notice h.

Wearisome the St. Paul Pioneer press says this is removal of the Only obstacle to Tho immediate completion of the line through the Sauk Valley and to its in the councils of the nation. We Are some what in the same position As the Southern states in being producers not manufacturers. It is therefore essentially our interest while Selling in the Dearest Market we can reach to buy in Tho cheapest which at pre sent at any rate for Many articles is the Ous malady Ana United states. We have no present facile Mon practice to summon to the bedside of Tieg for but we aim to be the sufferer another physician to consult exporters of wheat and other pro with the regular medical attendant of the duct of soil should unhappily any family. The ludicrous results of this pro fax sure of the crops be a visitation on the Tice in Many cases have justified Tho sarcasm province Oul. People certainly do not wish i proverb Eliav tit Morari when a patient lies sick with some grievous malady and recovery is slow it is a Corn for the Purchase of their Well Stock of v expressed in the Well known proverb Doc tors will Canada in common with the United states and most european coun tries having suffered from a protracted experience of a depression of Trade it is no wonder that the causes of the unpleasant conditions so Long obtaining in the Domin to Ion should be a fruitful subject of discus icon a a in parliament or that prolonged debates both upon Tho cause of the stagnation of business and the Means of overcoming it should have aroused considerable interest in Tho Progress of Tho debate on the budget during the present session. It is no matter for Surprise As doctors differ in expressing Tho results of a diagnosis of a patient s malady politicians should enter Tain very opposite views of Tho cause of Ca Nada s Commerce being in a chronic state of depression. The opposition attribute n state of affairs which All must lament to the free Trade principle being applied m a cast Iron fashion to the fiscal policy of the country and they claim that the govern ment might had they been so done much to mitigate the severity of the trials under which the Commerce of Canada has suffered. We propose to consider both branches of the subject.

Wallace had referred to As a proof of the then Prosperity of the country Canada had imported goods to the amount of More than it required or could pay for promptly and that was the real cause of the distress which had not yet entirely passed away. The sudden increase in the circulation and discounts was a promo. Nent cause of the commercial depression and he blamed the Banks As Well As the importers and merchants for contributing to Tho country s misfortunes. A Large volume of business was not always an evidence of Prosperity and it was quite evident that the Prosperity of Canada during years of inflation was a fancied Prosperity. Passing to the consideration of the question whether Protection would have saved Tho country from the depression he claimed that in would have had no such result. If to had had Protection instead of Over importation we should have had Over production and then instead of Tho English and United states merchant having to Bear his share of the loss consequent on the depression can Ada would have had to Bear it All herself. What we want to make Canada permanently prosperous is men of character among our business men so that when difficulties stare them in the face their first object will to to secure their creditors and not to make plans for their own ment. So much for the views of an accepted authority on commercial topics among the various remedies proposed by political quacks for the commercial Depres Sion to Lind a protective Tariff. Until the recent Liberal conservative convention Mot in Toronto Tho policy of the opposition As a political party remained in doubt As there was nothing beyond vague declarations and shadowy platitudes for manufacturers to pin their Faith to. On that occasion however a Resolution was passed declaring that until a reciprocity of Trade is established with our neighbors Canada should move in the direction of a reciprocity of there is no mistaking the Drift of this declaration which clearly inculcates the increasing of the comparatively Low import duties of the Canadian Tariff until they attain the same level As those of Tho United states. We think it is unfortunate for the prospects of the opposition in face of a general election that they have allowed themselves to be forced into this position As it is a fatal Issue to go to the country upon. Per Contra we find the government is Able to announce i far More popular commercial policy.
