few days ago, is now little above
ffty-four. Those who fancy that silver
can be permanIly demonetized by mere
human laws will soon be taught their
error. But the United States has now
an opportunity, which is not likely soon
to return, to retire its wsstefnl fractional
currency without paying any premium
for the silver. II the change could be
made at once, the gradual appreciation
IN the value of silver which seems already
to have begun, will tend strongly to
bring retail prices in this country more
nearly 10 level with those in other
lands. We export gold because it will
buy less here than in other countries.
But when retail prices are fixed in sill
yer currency of gradually increasing val
ue, American gold ought soon to find
some use at honey. Y. Tribune.

whether to spread it on now and let the

THE PROPOSED CANADIAN TARIFF.

Tho Canadians aro cauvassing the policy
Of levying duties on American agricultural
products as a means Of protecting" their
own. The proposition has boon suggested
in part, probably, by resentment nt the duties
levied by tho United Stntes on Canadian
products. It will DO slort-sighted and fool
ish, however, for the Canadians to punish
themselves In order to got even with us
and, in iact, wo arc punished enough In hav-
ing to bear the burdan which our tariff puts
upon lie. A Committee Of tho Dominion
Parliament is now engaged in taking the ovi-
lence Of farmers in different sections Of Can-
ada az to tho sentiment Of the people and
probable offcota Of lovying duties on A1neri-
can products. In q resume OF this
evidence given in recent number
Of tho Toronto GIo1e, tho propont1eranco
Of sentiment was opposed to tho proposed
tariff, and especially os regards coin. Ono
gentleman, Mr.. sr1nroN, said that, in his
experience, it has often been profitable for
tho stock-farmor to import feed in tho shape
Of Indian corn, aud this practice is ycarly
increasing; nor does Mr. Srm1oN believe
that the importation Of corn has materially
affected tho price Of coarso grains. He holds
that no protective duties would benefit tho
Canadian farmer. Another, q Mr. CAL
pnA1Tu, docs not find American products
compete with those ho raisea, except it be
pork, which is largely usod by tho lumber
men, and pays n duty Of 90 per barrel al-
ready; but, on tho other hnnd, he docs not
think it possible to raise pork, as tho food
required can be mora prodtab]y given to
other stock. On certain occasions, when
tho local crops hnve run short, ho had known
farmers import corn, and be worry glad to got
it. Ho holds that imported corn does not
Interfere with Canadian coarso grains, but
TINT the effect of its importation woutd bo
tho more extensive raising OF stock
and fattening for tho market. And
D third, from m ontiroly different district,
tostiflns that largo amount Of corn ia
brought from tho United statos, and TINT it
pays better to buy tho corn than to consume
tho oats at the present prices. The United
States aro largo consumers Of Canadian bar-
10y and oats, which arc thus exchanged by
| Cnnada for the corn and other United 2tatoy
products which the Canadians ncod. To i'm
pose tariff duty on these articles will be to
shut OF tho exchange TO q lnrge extent. It
would DO much botter for both countries, Of
