According sun never snene-so brightly, the was never so fertilizing, and the farmers never so supremely happy as they have ‘all been under the influence of Sirs John. ‘and Leonard. The Conservative press Will demonstrate te a nicety that the great increase of production is due to the efforts of its leaders. ‘The busy hum of mnianufacturing industry and the enor- mous addition to our population’ by the development of our workshops will be nothing to the richer. greenness of the erass and the extra peas in the ped, all the result of protection. The tariff has provided for the rain in the proper sea- son, and has legislated for a dry period in order that crops may be better and more advantageously gathered in. These are matters not witnin. the power and jurisdetion of Grits. They never could give the farmer thirty bushels of wheat to the acre and enable him to realize two. dollarsa bu shel These poor politicians’ couldn’t open up the windews of Heaven and send down the refreshing showers. lt takes Sir John and his lieutenant te do this for us, and they alone can make a whole nation rich, prosperous and happy by Act ef Partament. We will not grumble at the National Policy if it dees all these things for us. We, how- ever, prefer reserving our judgment on the correctness of Tory reasoning until we are convinced thatewe are to have good erops and big prices simply"because we are under a Conservative Goyern- ment. L L Russia and Rome, _ For many years past no bull or en- cyclical of the Pope has been permit ted to he published in the Polish pre- ‘yinces of Russia, which are inhabited by Roman Catholics. The alleged ground ef prolibition was that among the Pelish revelutienists who toek up arms against the Russian Government in 1863 were many Catholic priests, and that these priests were encouraged in the revolt by Pius IX. ~ When the Polish insurrection was crushed, the Pope was forbidden direct communi- cation with the Poles. But times and circumstances have now changed, and the Czar himfelf, with the Gevern- ment, is endangered. Negotiations were opened some time ago between the Court. of St. Petersburg and. the Vatican, and the result has been a res ‘toration of the friendly relations be- tween the Czar and the Pope. Now the Catholics ef Poland do not need to when. taken directly from the lake. af : secure the aid of smugglers, as they A Globe's despatch from Ottawa says: had to do in past years, The privi- It is cowardly fear that prevents: the; leges of the Vatican were restored. up- on the condition that the clergy should deneunce the projects of the Nihilists as opposed to the State and ‘to ligien. There has lately been pub- lished in the Gaseta. Polska, and te: published in the other Polish journals, an epistle ef the diotese, transmitting to each of them acopy of the encycli- cal’ of the Holy Father, Leo XIIT., dated December 28, 1878: ‘The Arch- te: - bishop says that this most worthy and - important document should be known “not only to the clergy, but also to: the faithful laity, who should"be informed of its contetits, and should be protected — fi‘om the dangereus influence: ef per= nicious doctrine. Purther) the priests are auvised to expound from the Holy wae Scriptures the rights of property, the family question, the -preper relations: of servants and masters, and the ne- cessity of obedience to the authorities: The publication of the epistle of Arch-- bishop Sotkevitch was greeted by the’ Russian .gecular journals as the triumph of religious’ toleratlon, and the»Golos’ said :—“Religious toleration, always: and everywhere, is the snrest sign‘of moral development and ot’ political — and national growth ; and fer this rea=—— son we-wekome the publication ef the Papal Encyclical ia Russia.” Russian religions ergans regret the new policy of the Czar, who is the.

In eonsequenec of their language’ on this subject, some of the religious journals have lately received official warning. A CORRESPONDENT of the Boston Journalt dis the fdéwing story of his experience in that city m 184for 1848: I was then a young man just entering busmess, and had the impu- t that “nothing was done.” As I had never been refused before, I thought: it strange, and I interviewed the’ Cashier, who referred me to the Pres- ident. I found him in his reom,. and, approaching him, I asked him why the’ notes could not be discounted.
