From a total of $963, GAS, ,s62 in 1871 our in 1881-an increase during the second de- cade of protection of more than the total for eign trade at the end of twenty four years of tariff for revenue only. These figures speak for themselves.
 English politics are getting bitter. MT. Chamberlain's reading of the sworn state ments of agents employed by tory managers to make trouble at the recent Birmingham meeting threatens to lead to batch of libel suits Lord Salisbury recently taunted the people for their good humor in franchise demonstrations, intimating that MT. Cham berlain might get his head broken if he took part in the proeessions. MT. Chamberlain naturally arraigned Salisbury in the Com mons for this piece of ill-temper,-and so it goes.

 My ancestors on my fathers side were as you know, always identified with the Pres byterian church and they were prominent and honored in the old colony of Pennsylvania. But will never consent to make any public declaration upon the subject, and for two reasons. First, because I abhor the intro duction of anything that looks like relig- ious test or qualification for office in repub- lie where perfect freedom of conscience is the birthright of every citizen; and second, because my mother, was devoted Catholic. would not, for thousand pEesidencies, speak disrespectful word of my mothers religion, and pressure will draw me into any avowaI of hostility or unfr iendliness to Catholics, though have never received, and do not expect any political support from them.-From private letter from Mir. Blaine to Dr. James King, of Pittsburg, March 10, 1876.
 At no time during the memory of anyone who does me the honor to hear me has there been so little bigotry in the country as there Is to-day At previous time has there been an occasion of great public interest re- Iating to the fate of the government in which, upon the same platform and for the same patriotic end, has there been such cor dial and hearty cooperation as there is now among the great religious denominations, Protestant, Catholic and Hebrew. Certainly that is the great consummation which re- public pledged to civil and religious liberty should aim at, and it will remain the lasting glory of the Republican party that that con summation has been achieved during its broad and wise and liberal administration of the national government.-James G. Blaine, in his speech in Chickering Hall.

Dear Mr.. Editor!

4AA' ~
I beg room for a few remarks with re-
gard to MI. II. G. Henderson's letter to the
Sugar Cane published in your issue Of The
Doth last month tending to show a differ
ence in favour Of the Factory in the amount
OF produce from cane delivered to same in
comparison with estate works.
Mt. Peasants own machinery is not in
the order necessary for a tair trial Of what
estate works can produce III comparison to
the Factory. AS the opinions concerning
what pays the planters best seem to differ
widely, | would propose, as the best way
to settle the question, to make a public til
al by weighing on the Factory scales canes
for 10 or 20 hogsheads and afterwards have
them ground on an estate with proper
works, for instance Glynn or BarrenSpOt.
Several trials have already been made
the result of one of them | am able to give:
34676O pounds Of cane were weighed and
gave, ground on the estates 81 bbls. a 30
pounds net, Or total 20855 pounds of sugar,
6 puncheons OF rum and 3 casks molaSseS.
Delivered to the factory these canes
would have fetched, a 6OIo, 20805 lbs. SUI
gar at 4cts. per To-. ~$832.20cts. On the
other hand the produce at the estates
works may be calculated thus at ordinary
prices:
20S55 lbs. sugar a 4 tS...-..-..$S 34.ZO
6 puncheons rum a los gallons
a a5Is .................. 262.8O
3 casks molasses say a 1870 gallons
a22cts.........'......... $3.50
$1,182.80
from which must be deducted 81
empty barrels a l0cts. S $40
6 rum puncheons a $500. 18.00-27.70
$1,155.1O
The difference is thus $322.9O in favor
of estates works or ca. $50 on each hogs
head a 1900 lbs. The difference will be
seeA to correspond with the value OF the
rup and molasses. The benefit TO be
derived from the factory in the shape Of
megass etc, cannot in my opinion coun-
terweigh this.
l am Sir, yours truly

The Grown Prince of Germany
has visited The Pope in state. y
pleasingly absurd little fiction was
kept up that he was living at the
Prussian Legation to the Vatican,
aud not at the Quiinal, and Oardi-
nal Jacobini gravely called on him
at Dr. S~chI0zer's house, where he
was not, and received the explana-
ton that the Prince was absent with
out a smile. The party, moreover,
drove to the Vatican in private car
r;ages bat once there, all the forma-
lities used in receiving crowned
heads We're carefully observed. The
Crown Prince had q private audi
ence of fifty minutes, and notes of
the conversation were afterwards
carefully taken down. AS no one
yet knows the topic Of discussion,
all rumours ON the subject are I'M
trustworthy; but neither Pope o
Prince was likely to lose such an
opportunity. The Pope desires a
reconciliation with Germany, and
modern Princes always dislike reli-
Gious divisions among their subjects
They cannot themselves feel enthu-
siastic about dOgmas, being trained
from childhood to tolerance and
they neve quite forget the future, as
Premiers sometimes do. They have
descendants to think of, and know
that every form Of discomfort will
die out, except a religious grievance.
Parties change rapidly, but sects can
hate one another for centuries on
end.
Lord r. Churchill began q series of
speeches in Edinburgh on Tuesday by a
furious attack on the Egyptian policy of
the Government, his idea being that we
should restore Arab, repudiate the public
Debt, sponge out the debt of the Fellaheen,
and place Egypt under % truly Constitu-
tional Prince. We have said enough Of
his extraordinary exagg ~eration elsewhere,
but must add a note here on his remark
that Egypt is not the route to India. In
wartime, we must, he says, trust to our
ships, and not to any transcOntinental
route. They may be true, though our
ships are as useful in the Mediterranean
as off the Cape; but Egypt, if not the
route to India. is its gate. If it belonged
to amy other Power, we should have to
keep a Channel Fleet in the Red Sea, fort
fly every Indian port, and theu be everlast
ingly expecting attack.

MiSceIT0ne OWs.
From the Spectator of22 Dec.
"The wilder Irishmen Of New
York have been making threats Of
vengeance for the execution Of
O'D0nnell, and the Home Office
believes them to be serious. At
least, the most elaborate precautions
have been taken under orders from
London to protect Mr.. Gladstone.
Hawardpn Castle is full OF armed
police, and all arrivals are carefully
scrutinised. The better Nationalist
papers warmly denounce any threat
against Mr.. Gladstone, but the Opin-
ions of the better Irish, even when
strongly hostile to England, seem 10
have no influence whatever on the
Irish Eu0g6S in any Of the three
countries. 1t should not be forgot
ten, however, that O'D0nnell could
not read, learning ever his alphabet
in prison, and that most Of the mo-
ney subscribed to the secret societies
comes from exceedingly ignorant
persons, who are under Il permanent
belief that accused Irishmen are al
ways condemned before trial. There
seems no limit to popular creduli'y,
Not a fortnight ago, twenty grown
men Of a hill tribe in Iudia-not
savages, but ordinary Alussuinnns
flung away their lives by rushing
on British guns to prevent a survey
ing party from carrying away the
Tukht-i Suleiman, or Throne Of
Solomon, a conical mountain more
than 1000 feet high.
Prince Bismarck has gone a step
further on the "SociaIistic" path.
He has introduced two Bills into the
Prussian Chamber, altering the in
cidence of the IncOme-taX. BY the
first, all persons with less than 600 a
year are declared exempt, and the tax
is graduated on all who receive be-
tweenG EGO q yearandG5O0, %thehighest
rate being 3 per cent, or I'D. in the
pound. To remedy the deficit thus
created, which amounts to G325,OOO
a year, an additional Income tax is
imposed on all incomes derived from
invested money, beginning with II
d. in the pound on dividends of $50
a year, and risingto sd. in thepound
on dividends above $500. The pro-
gressive scale goes no higher, but
this is Of course, in principle, the
imp6t progressy, and differs wholly
from our own system of e%xempting
necessary income. The exemption
of landed incomes is justified by the
existence Of the land-tax, but is
really caused by the imp"ssibility of
getting such a tax through The Up
per House. It is very doubtful if
the second Bill will pass, and if it
does, the Chancellor will find that
he has given the Socialists a very
dangerous weapon. There is a point
at which taxation on sleeping CAPT

THE bill introduced by Mr.. Shelley
making an appropriation for the completion
Of the sewerage system of the District of
Columbia is another step in the right direc-
ton. There is one provision, however, in
the bill that strikes us rs being little un-
republican. We refer to that provision
which requires the plans to be adopted by
the unanimous vote of the Commissioners.
Why not a majority of tho Commissioners
in this case as in all others?
