The High Commissioner of Canada,
in an address on the Canadian tariff and
the relative value of the colonial and
foreign trade of Great Britain, at London
on the 18th, contended that tariffs were
necessary for all new countries. He
pointed to the increase of trade in the Do
minion since 1873, in which England was
benefited over any other country, and
contrasted the position of Canada now with
her position before the existing tariff was
in operation. The result of the enactment
of the present tariff was to revive home and
foreign trade for the Dominion.

The Scott Law.

The Scott Liquor Tax Bill was passed
Monday of last week by a vote of II to 1S
in the Senate, and So to 85 in the House;
snd goes into effect April 30th. As mem
toned in our last issue, 1t provides for q
tax from 800 to $500 on saloons, and re-
enacts the Local Option law, which gives
towns and villages the right to prohibit
the sale of liquors entirely. This win
give all the advantages of State prohibi-
ton in any town where the temperance
element is strong enough to enact 1t; and
We shall expect our temperance friends to
make vigorous effort to avail themselves
of its provisions =.
The bill, as amended, was passed by the
Senate by the following vote:
YEAs-Anderson, Brigham, BrowneIb Dexter,
Dickinson, Evans, HaI, Hsrtshon, Horr, Kinney,
Norton, Perkins, Pond, Pollard, sayre, Strong,
Wolcott-17.
NAxs-Chapman, Eason, Foresman. Godfrey,
Jaeger, Jones, Kirby, Myers, Tenson, Reed White,
wflson, YestmAn-lS
All those who voted for the bill were
Republicans The only two Republicans
who voted against the bill were Chapman
and Yeatman. BaIlauf did not vote, al
though he was present. When absolutely
necessary, four or five of the strong tenn
perance representatives reluctantly voted
for the bill.
The way in which the two extreme ends
on the liquor question came together to
defeat the Scott Bill, is considered the
