Proceedings i'm Congress.

In the Senate on the 9Th Mr.. Cald-
well, of Kansas, made a personal explana-
ton concerning the charge of corruption in

was instigsted by malice and designed for a

scrutiny, and at some future time he would
expose the outrage as it deserved. In the
meantime he asked for suspension of judg-

The Lumber Trade of Canada.
From the quebec Mercury


Few persons among us have any ade-
quate idea of the enormous proportions
of the lumber trade of the Dominion.
Take, for instance, the trade of the val.
leys of the St. Lawrence and the
tributary valleys. The Ottawa val
lcys provided during the past season
l0O,000,000 feet of sawn deals, 2S5,000,-
900 feet of sawn boards, and the st.
Lawrence valley provided 225,000,000
feet of sawn deals and 100000 of
sawn boards. In the Ottawa valley the
proposed get out of logs was 3 100000,
and in the st. Lawrence 2,3j0,000. The
exports for the year 1870 and 1871
show favorable condition of affairs,
and tend still further to impress one
with the magnitude of the lumber in
terest of the Dominion.

That is to say, we Chicago printers
pay an average OF about sixty three
cents a pound for type, while the To-
ronto printers get theirs for iorty-iour.
We pay penalty of fifty per cent. for
the privilege of printing q newspaper
in "free" republic
There are ., 500 newspapers and peri
odicals in the country, employing lOO,-
600 skilled and unskilled laborers, on
whom at least 100000 people depend
for their daily bread. They do a bust
ness Of $l00,000,000 year. In the
production of metal type there are
only 1900 men employed in the entire
country; yet the interests OF those
100000 are made subservient tosthe in
terests Of these 1900 A fifty per cent.
burden is put upon type so that the
200 men may not De compelled TO go
into some other business ! A tax Is levied
on knowledge and a penalty assessed on
popular intelligence; books are made
dearer, and struggling newspapers are
driven into bankruptcy, in order that
half dozen OPPORTUNITIES may be To-
Gated in New York instead of in Toron-
TO
But this Is not the worst. The dozen
type manufacturers in the United
States, not content with the advantage
which the tariff affords them, have as
ISOLATED themselves together in close
corporation for the purpose OF still fur
ther bleeding their defenseless victims,
and have adopted a scale of prices
which each member binds himself to
adhere to by the most solemn treaty
stipulations, and any variation from this
scale subjects the offender to a species
Of persecution as relentless and as
merciless as that of the inquisition in
the times of the thumbscrewl Their
methods Of procedure, though different
in kind, are the same in the animating
and governing spirit.
1t is amazing that the American press
will longer tolerate this imposition.
The plea that the tariff is needed for
revenue will not avail for it produces
no revenue. tits practically prohibitory.
Very little paper and still less type are
imported under it. The hateful system
only operates to enable the American
manufacturers to add the tariff to the
previous price of their wares, and

immense institution like the American
press, which, if not all-powerful, is not
entirely without influence when it acts
in concert, will permit itself and its
special parishioners to be robbed so
Systematically, so disgracefully, and so
inexcusably? There is predatory fish
that takes its prey by first mesmerizing
him, psychologizing him or chloroform-
ing him into unconsciousness, and then
eating him up at leisure and spiders
have been known to operate in this
fashion on beetles and cockroaches, and
lead them as captive slaves to their
dens. SO must American journalism
have been somehow manipulated pre-
paratory to being neeced, else it would
not allow itself to be made the prey of
contemplate monopoly for the pur-
pose Of gratifying the high-tariff dis.
seminators of seductive lie. Is it not
about time for the newspapers of this
country to shake off their shackles, and
cease ~ kiss the rod that smites them ?

Swedish Li0uor Laws,

In Sweden, licenses for the sale of
liquors are put up at auction, and are
sold for cash TO the highest bidder.
Hours of closing are designated for
every beer shop, and strictly adhered to.
No liquor may be sold to a child or
drunkard, and money cannot be recov-
cred for liquor sold on credit. The bars
provide warm food, tea and coffee,
which, to certain extent, supplant in.
toxicating drinks.

A Poor Investment.

When Mr.. Oakley, of Columbia
county, New York, insured the life of
a female relative aged sixty-eight years,
he unquestionably expected that after
a few payments he would realize
handsome profit on his Investment.
But, when she had persisted in living
seven years afterward, he became dis.
couraged, and assigned the policy to
one Peter Conkling. Mr.. Conkling
continued to pay the premiums as long
as he lived, and when he died, his
executors kept on, The other day she
died, aged ninety.three, having been
insured for twenty-five years. The
executors received 81, 800 on tbs policy,
less than one.half of The total sum that
had been paid for premiums.
