The most Important political pri nci-

protection. Two years ago the free
traders asserted that that the people
were opposed to protection, AMI the
government dissolved parliament, al

result was that the government was

in Can ida had practically ceased and
the depression was the most serious

in 1879 that tile tariff was adopted.
