A Globe's despatch from Oitawa says : tis understood that Deminion Govern- ment is much alarmed at the ill success of the National Policy, and is consider- ing the best means of supplementing the protective tariff by offering additional inducements for the establishment of manufactures. What shape those in- ducements will assume has not yet been determined ; but whatever the shape, 1t will be an admission of the failure of the National Policy. Tun Government has not found it convenient te publish either the Cus- toms revenue for May or even the ex- port returns, although it is now July. Ii is cowardly fear that preyents the Government showing a true state of af- fairs under the N. P. In the ports of Hamilten and Guelph, a fearful falling off is marked in comparison with the figures of the same months of the past year. In the port ef Hamilton alone, there was a falling off of $22,803.46, as comapared with the month of June 1878. How does that look ? Se From returns, it seems that Canadian ship-builders have not sold ships to ether countries to the same extent since the pace tariff resulatiens, that they did un der the old tariff. in April, 1878, there were sold by \Canadian ship-builders, vessels to the value of $113,140; in fom of this year there was not one sold. | Little wonder at the cry from the Mari- time Proyinees ai the destruction of one of their most important interests by the glorious N. P. 7 Txe Sarnia Observer very truthfully remarks: One of the ‘“‘economies” of the new scheme for carrying out the pro- yisions of the Weights and Measures Act, is to group the counties for inspec- ‘apg purposes and then get rid_of several of the deputy inspectors. The saving effected in salaries will however be more than lest in the incaeased allowance for travelling expenses, so that the ‘“‘econo- my” is of questionable character. So long as the main object of the movement is achieved—ithe dismissal of Reform ap- peimiees to make way for Tory nominees —there will be joy among the Govern- ment supporters. a a good crop Bory friends this year;—of course, ! ou will claim the beneficial outcome of the sreat and glorioug Na- tional Policy. According to them, the sur never saene-so brightly, the rain 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 manufacturing Industry and the enor- mous addition to our population by the development of our workshops will be nothing to the richer greenness of the orass and the extra peas in the ped, all the result of protection. The tariff has provided for the raim in the proper sea- gon, 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 jurisdiction of Grits. They never could sive the farmer thirty bushels of wheat to the acre and enable him to realize two dollars a bushel. These poor politicians results as an} had to do in past years.

The Arch- bishop says that this most worthy and important document should be known not only to the clergy, but also to the of its contents, and should be protected from the dangereus influence ef per nicious dectrine. Further, the priests: are advised to expound from the Holy Scriptures the rights of property, the family question, the proper relations’ of servants and masters, and the ne= cessity of obedience to the authorities. The publication of the epistle of Arch-- bishop Sotkeviteh was greeted by the’ Russian secular journals as the triumph of religious toleratlon, and the»'olos said :—“Religious toleration, always jand everywhere, is the snrest sign of moral development and ot political and national growth ; and for this rea= son we welcome the publication of the Papal Encyclical ia Russia.” But the Russian religious ergans regret the new policy of the Czar, who is the. head of the Orthodox church, in faver of Rome, which is the powerful com- petitor of Russian orthedoxy. In consequenec of their language on this subject, some of the religious journals have lately received official warning. (ES epee ¥ A corresponpENT of the Boston Journal tells the following story of his experience in that city im 1847' or 1848: J was then a young man just entering business, and had the impu- dence to allow what litile beard Na- ture had dlessed me with te grow, not excepiing the upper lip, (Lf do not think: {Here were more than two or threaten i: Pastoa—who dared to’ | Wear <a moustache; ana SS foreigners.) _ Que day I had applied to” the Washington Bank for a discount.

Tt takes Sir John and his liewtenant te do this for us, and they alone can make a whole nation rich, prosperous and happy by Act of Parliament. We will net crumble 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 that we are to have good crops and big prices simply because we are under a Conservative Goyern- ment. ————————— Russia and Rome, é 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 prohibition was that among the Pelish revelutienists who toek up arms against the Russian Government in 1863 were many Cathelic 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 peen a res- ‘toration of the friendly relations be- tween the Czar and the Pope. Now the Catholics ef Poland do not need to That Lost Boy. Is your boy a drunkard ? How came he to be a drunkard ? The liquor dealers drew him in an@ ruined him.
