The Increase in our EXPORTS.

Cobden believed that the commercial
and industrial supremacy Of the world,
which had passed from the East to Italy,
thence to Holland, and afterwards to
Great Britain, would finally rest with the
United States. This movement can now
be seen in operation. 1t is but a few
weeks since We quoted the solemn warn
ing Of the London Times to the English
iron-manuiacturers that they were not
only losing the foreign market they had
so long enjoyed, but that the control Of
the home market was in daRger Of pass
ing away from them to their American
competitors. American competition is
making inroads in other manufactures.
Our exports Of manufactures in the first
ten months of 1873 compared with those
Of the corresponding period Of 1874 were
Si2, ,SOG,OOO against S3i,5l2,OOO, an in.
crease Of % per cent; the exports Of
British produce and manufactures have
fallen oil in the last two years Sl52,OOO,-
600, or liz per cent. The Canadians at
tribute their business troubles largely to
American competition. The Toronto
Mail remarks:
"Thcrc has been an important reduc.
ton in the price Of Dundas Mill c0ttOnS,
aud We understand that the reduction Is
general with all our cotton manufacturing
establishments, amounting to from 10 to
l2I per cent. The mill owners are forced
to take this step or at once retire from
the field and surrender the whole Cana
dian market to our neighbOrs, who are
now selling in Canada at 3 per cent and
more below New York and Boston prices.
In this particular case the competition Of
frcc.trade England affects our manuiac-
lnrcrs but slightly. 1t isthG unlairCom.
petition Of prOtcctionist America that
makes the trouble. We have it on good
authority that although wages have been
reduced, our cotton manufacturers are
running their mills at no profit, in the Ell.
dcayor solely to keep possession Of the
home market II possible, and to prevent
the calamity ofhundreds Of families being
sent adriit without the means Of earning
their daily bread"

Purgatory which one might have de,ery.

ances. What amount of punishment any
sin deserves, is known only to God; 50 too,
what is the precise efficacy OF any meri.
torious work, He alone can tell.
When now the Church atlixes to any
piOus or penitential work, an indulgence
Of a specified period; for example, OF one
hundred, or three hundred days;-she
does not mean, rs some imagine, TO remit
Just that many days Of suffering in Pur.
gatory; but she simply grants to the prop.
or performance Of the prescribed good
work, the same remission OF temporal
punishment, which would have been Sc.
cured by performing that number oidays
canonical pcnancc according to the an
Cicnt discipline OF the Church. BY iul.
filling the conditions required for gaining
an indulgence, We are only substituting
one kind of good work for another gen.
orally less severe, hut, in virtue Of the
Church's power, deserving the same re.
mission Of temporal punishment, but not
necessarily the same amount OF future re.

Whether or not induIgences, properly
sO.called, were granted by the Church in
her very earliest days may be disputed.
We may concede that they were not with.
out detrimcnt to the Church's power to
grant them. For the power to grant In.
dulgcnces and their use are two very
different things. 1t is doctrine Of faith
that the Church has, and always has had,
this power; but theexercise of this power
pertains to the discipline OF the Church,
which she il at liberty to change as she
considers most conducive to the good Of
her children. In primitive times the
Church may not have deemed ii necessary
or useful to Use this power to any great
extent. 1t Is certain that then there
was very much more iervOr among
Christians. The very severity Of the
CanOnical penanCcs, so Cheeriully per.
formed, shows that they were not afraid
to cxpiate in full, II possible, here
below, the temporal pain due to their
sins. As long aS this generous spirit
possessed them the Church did not
Judge il wise to check their spirit Of
heroic sacrifice, and she found not the

Total Gl,i7; u SlOAisShis ~
There ha4 been an increase uf sOme-
thing more than $7,OOOOOO in the receipts
over last year. 4 large part Of this in
crease is due to the revival Of trade dur.
ing the year, and something to the in.
creased tax on whisky and tobacco, which
were put on by Congress near the close Of
its session in the latter partof February.
1t will l,c noticed that there was most
decided increase in the receipts Of Fchru.
AIRY, 1875, over those Of February, 1874.
This was the month Just preceding
the passage Of the Tax bin and during
the time Of It's agitation The dis.
tlcriCs were running at their full
capacity in order to get ahead a'
large stock as possible, the stock on
hand being exempt from the increased
tax. The increase in this month alone
was more than Si,OOO,OOO and conSi,lera.
bly, more than one.hnli Of the entire in.
crease Of the year. This apparent in
crease, however, was really loss, so far
as whisky was concerned, at the rate Of
2Occmts Il gallon, which was the increased
tax that the surplus whisky would have
paid il the ordinary amount Of whisky
had been manufactured; for many Of the
distillerics shut down after the increased
tax went into effect, and the consuml-
lion remains about the same.
