No Mormons Wanted.

OTTAWA. April 1.-THE Mormon
question was ventilated in parliament last
night. The house took up the bill to
amend the criminal law and ~polyGamy
was included in the list of ~otfsnses. Hon.
Edward Blake said the Mormon settlers
IN the Canadian Northwest form a dan
Gerous element. and urged that their
abominable practices be suppressed. He
had learnep that Mormons who fed from
Utah to Canada left wives at home and
brought young girls with them for com
panlons. Minister of tie Interior Dewd
ney said he had personally assured the
Mormons they would never be permitted
to practice polygamy in Canada. The
Mormons then gave him satisfactory as
surances and recently denied that they
we're evading the laws. Sir John Mac
Donald said Canada would never allow
the Northwest to be the scene of polyga-
nous practices. The clause relating to
polygqmy was amended, raising the pen-
atty from two to five years imprison-

Don't Like the Butterworth Bill.

WAsHINGToN. April 1.-The house
committee on agriculture today heard
arguments against the B%utterworth anti
option bill. Henry Nelson of the Chicago
Board of Trade said that that ~orRaniza-
ton and all the exchanges in the country
were in sympathy with the first section of
the bill to abolish trading in puts and
calls aud bucket shop dealings; but to en-
force its provisions against trades for tu-
ture delivery would force out of business
the small dealers and concentrate trade in
the hands of the large capitalists who were
able to purchase crops and hold
them Tor a rise. To stop
sales for future delivery would be TO in
terrupt and disarrange the entire financial
system of the country. The bankers of
the country moved the crops and depend
upon the transactions of small dealers in
the country towns for the basis OF their
transactions. The bill would place the
farmers at the mercy OF the large capital
list who would buy cash grain NJ auch a
price that he could hold it until Gabriel
blows his horn without sustaining a loss.
George G Martin of the New York
Produce Exchange maintined that the
farmer never before received so great a
per cent of value for his crops as now In
his opinion the low prices prevalent
arc because of the recent series
of large crops from which have been
accumulated in store 300. 000. 900 bushels
OF corn more than ever before in the his
tory of the country. The merchants
suffered losses along with the farther. In
1875 the commissions on a bushel of corn
amounted to pic, now the entire crop was
marketed on "A commission OF one-IuartsT
of a cent. If the bill passes three quar-
tiers OF the export trade of tho c. untry
will be prescribed.
Joblson. of the New York Cotton Elk
change. made an argument against the
bill prepared BY a committee of that ex
change, ccom panylng it with IA protest
against the bill signed by the leading
bankers of New York 10 which they state
the passage OF the bill would work great
damage to legitimate trade and the banks
find their risks on advances under the
present system less han under the old.
The argument of the cotton exchange
committee holds that the effect oil ira ing
for future delivery has given the worlds
markets a less violen. character. reduced
the risks of merchants and bankers, and
at the same time secured to cotton plant
ers a higher range of values than was the
case before the existence OF the method
of trading for future delivery. 1.-THE flu
ture system was wiped out the exchanges
of New York and New o leans would
cease to exist and this would transfer the
business to Europe and build up ex
| changes there,
