A cable despatch, Of Nov Goth. says that
on that day, deputation representing fifty
two Chambers Of Commerce waited on Lords
Derby and Carnarvon. the Foreign and
Colonial Secretaries, to present objections
to the proposed Canadian Reciprocity treaty
with the United States.
Mr.. Sampson Lloyd said under the pro-
posed treaty the manufacturers Of England
were placed at great disadvantage com
pared with those OF the United States. The
treaty was unfair in principle. and would
be exceedingly injurious in practical effect.
IL wished to submit rs general principle.
That in any case where British colony or
dependency negotiateda treaty with foreign
country, England should not be placed in a
worse position than the foreign country.
Lord Derby replied that the government
fully agreed to this principle.
Mr.. Barron, representing Leeds. said be |
did not desire 10 have a pro tective clause.
He only wished Canada would not grant
America anything more than England.
Mr. Behrens, representing Bradford stated
there was party in Canada which was 50
powerful that it might take action preiudi-
cial to England if the treaty was not clearly |
worded TO prevent il. He asked for the in
sertion of clause providi OF that the United
States shall never have the right to clair
any remission of duties not accorded TO Rr'

Lord Derby then ',eplied at length. He

Perhaps some Of those who complain that
the prohlbitory law cannot be enforced. and
who desle to change it for license law may
be interested to see how the license system
works in some places, as respects enforce
ment.
The excise, or license law Of New York
State, is not very stringent one. 1t places
the granting of licenses in the hands of a
Board of Excise The Board of New York
city, as appears from their annual report,
established certain rules and limits for
granting licenses. They decided that they
would not license 80 bucket shops so-called,
places where no bar is kept, nor accom-
mediation pertaining to an inn. tavern or
hotel, but where liquor is furnished from
the cask to men. women and children, white
or black alike. to be drunk upon the prem
ises, or carried away in teacups, pitchers,
cans, and other utensils. The Board say :
" We also determined to withhold license
from grocers who made practice OF keep
ing bar exposed to the gaze of women and
children who came for the purchase of the
necessaries of life, and could see men around
the bar drinking and carorsing, we regard
ing such a sight demoralizing to those
women and children. Gambling bells, re-
sorts of disorderly characters, and low con-
cert-rooms were other places We concluded
not to license"
These rules do not seem to be very severe.
Under them any place claiming decent
amount of respectability could have
license. What was the result Of the restric-

The classes who could not get licenses or
ganized the Liquor Dealers Protective
Union" This Union held convention at
Albany, just before the late election in
New York, which embraced four hundred
keepers of saloons who had been refused
licenses by the Beard of Excise between
May lst, 1873, and May lst, lS74,while the
president, vice-president, second vice-presi-
dent, recording secretary, corresponding
secretary, and financial secretary all turn
ed out to be keepers of low drinking dens
scattered over the city.
The members of the Union. put into ITS
Treasury. to form fund to fight the law,
no less than SIS, 4O6 in one quarter and
they resolved that the members of the or
ganization should rote for no candidate tor
The Legislature lcho icould not pledge HIM
self to support their interests. After pro-
longed contest with this Protective Union,
the CITY Board Of Excise secured last week
the conviction of one Sigismund Schwab,
German saloon keeper, for selling liquor
without license and we see i stated that
it was the first conviction for violation Of a
license law in that city in twenty years
1t appeared at the trial that the Board had
made canvass and found not less than
three thousand unlicensed liquor shops IN
New York city. Could prohibitory law
be more of nullity? Just now, to he sure,
there is a spasm of enforcement OF this
license law; and the day after Schwab's con-
yiction the saloon keepers, lwho had been sell
ling without licenses, applied at the license
bureau in such numbers that they formed in
line and waited their turns. Two hun
dred licenses were issued, netting Sl4,OOO
to the city treasury in one day. whereas be
fore 500 a day was a large amount to be
received in day for licenses, and frequent
| " not over 800 week was received. But
the Protective Union has appealed Schwab :
case to higher!court, and they will next
attack the Legislature. The Democratic
Assembly will, doubtless, give them all they
ask for, in the way Of legislation and II
the law is retained. it viii. probably, be
due to the Republican Senate. But no law
which denies licenses to the 5000 bucket
shors' and low dens. which now live by SCI
ling rum, will be likely to lie long or largely
enforced in New York.

is, that the duties on American goods were
to be diminished at once, whereas the duties
on the same class of English goods were
Only to be reduced in series of years. You
say there is no guarantee of this in the
treaty. The reason is that the commercial
relations of England and Canada cannot be
dealt with in a treaty with foreign power.
They are relations of purely domestic
character. If any Canadian Parliament
were hereafter to seek to impose diferential
duties, the Governor General would be
competent to reserve such an act for the
consideration of the home government. |

that there Is nothing in this treaty which,
