A Double Monopoly.

Commenting on the fact that the
country is indebted for the wood
pulp duty to a decision OF Secre-
tary Boutwell, 10 1872, "a decision
which was contrary to the plain
spirit and intention of an act re-
moving the tariff tax on material
used in paper making. and passed
two years before" the New York
Evening Post says:
As the patent on the machine
used in making wood pulp is held
By FIVE firms, we have in the case OF
wood pulp one Of the most gallant
positions which can ever arise un-
Ter the system of tariff protection.
namely, a monopoly controlling
home production by an old patent
and defended by the duty from
foreign competition. A double
monopoly Of 90 article tina. has be-
come OF first necessity il thus ere
ated where 8 single monopoly
would alone he gross outrage.
The effect of this two-headed
monopoly, as the brief clearly
shows, is TO deprive the country
Of revenue, put a direct tax on
knowledge and impose a heavy
burden on industries by the side OF
which wood pulp making is in
significant. Meanwhile the duty
s'pro,ects" absolutely nobody since,
with the most intense foreign COM
potion in q free market, our pulp
makers could readily undersell
their competitors. Arguments like
these addressed to any body of in
telligent business men would carry
prompt conviction but addressed
TO that body of Congressional trick
sters who compose the "protection
gronp" Of Ways and Means Com
mittee, good arguments might as
well-perhaps better-be bad ones.

The Canadian view of Grant and
the third term may not be alto
gether impartial, inasmuch a.
Grant has never been dined or
wined in Canada, aud there may
be some jealousy in consequence.
l. is an outside view, however, and
must therefore have some elements
Of value which the views from the
inside lack and il is certainly OF
interest. The Bystander, the new
Canadian monthly, in discussing
the third term says:
Some think that Grant is an evil
dent impossibility and that he will
not get the nomination others
again, that be will be nominated.
but not elected; others that, II
nominated. he must certainly be
elected. The reason given for the
last opinion is ominous supposing
Grant TO be nominated, il is said
his election will be necessary 10
the peace of the country. Why
should the peace of the country be
endangered if General Grant is re-
jected at the pollsl What is imag-
ined, in that case, that his partisans
will do! OF one thing we feel
pretty sure; Grant, in spite OF all
that has been said about his stand
ing on his dignity, will accept the
nomination, whether it be unsnim-
Gus or not. AS we read his char
acter he is free from criminal am
bition and wholly incapable of the
military usurpation which the ner-
vous fancy of some of bis oppo-
nents deem possible. Bot he il
not self-denying or fastidious; he
would take anything, from an en-
pire to jack-knife, 10 whatever
way il might be offered. There i

best augury for the liberation {

dollars out of an abandoned mine.
In several counties large nuggets
and rich veins have been discover
