CANADIAN IDEAB OF RECIPROCITY. Tho more the subject of reciprocity with Canada is discusscd, the more does it becomeo apparent that the United Sintea ars asked to give something for nothing, Wa do not know whence theso Idonsof reciprocity were derived. A reciprocity which has in it nothing reciprocal, which contemplates tho gift 6f wome milliona of dollars annually from the United States to Canadn and not aven a courteous ncknowledgment in roturn from Cnunda to the Unifed Btatos, would be, ‘wa venture fo say, a novel thing in the cco- nomical history of thd world. Yot this Is shown by the Canadian newspapers {o be ex- netly what the peoplo of that conntry ex- pect; and, it wo may judge from editorinl expressiona of opinion, they will be satisfled with nothing less. An article from the Torouto Glote, which may bo found olse- whero in this jssue, is n fair specimon of tho avguments on this Lead which abound on the other side of tho border, It will be observed tint tho editor of the Globe is not willing to obiain rcciprocal trado from {he United States on terms which would discriminate agninst *‘the Mother Country.” They * desiro grenter froedom of trade, but nrenot prepared to sncrifico Im- porial connectior® jn order to obtain it"j nbovo all, thoy will not consent to give American manufactures any privileges ovoer Dritish manufactures, They. will consent to rociprocal trade only in *‘natural prod. ucts," such as salt, lumber, and conl, the traflo in which is vory much interfered with Ly the presont tariff. ‘Thto Qlobe in disingenuons in this discus- sion. It docs not mention among tho nat- ural prodacts which it desires to sec exchang- ed without restriction tho products of the farm, and especially barloy, which Canada has the strongest motives for gotting on the freo list. I'ho Glole knows, and all intell- gent persons in Caunds must know, that the United Btates have nothing to gain by the ‘Interchnuga of natural prodncts. These aro exnotly tho articles in which we lavo o Inrgy export rndo alrendy, and no considera- blo u.arket would ba found for thom in Can- ada. We have no lumber to rond iuto Cannda in comparison with the supplies which Canada is repdy and suxions to throw npon our mare kots ; and whenever we desiro to got Cana- dinn luwbor chieaper It will alwaya ba possible to do so by rumoving the duties. Amoricna coal now finds o market in Canada, and the consumoers in that country pay tho dutios ; when Now England desires Nova Scotia coal ot cheaper rutes, it may induce Congross to rowmove existing dutles on onr side. Balt is likewise a product which wo can now sond into Cannda oud sell nt o profit, and there is no conaiderable compotition to be oxpeoted from that country, whother tho duties are romoved or not. It is mero trifling with tho subjoct to epeak of tho bouefits that will follow tho froo oxchango of these products. Canada wonld gain more from such reciprocity than the United States would, but noither country would do- rive snficiont profit from thoe traaty to mako it worlh the while. The articlos that Canadn desires to send Into the United States are ‘whant, barluy, vegetables, clicoss, buttor, cuttlo, shoep, horges, und overything grown ar made upon tho farm. ‘The articlos the United States desiro to send back in pay- mont of Canndion importations are dry goods, woolens, clothing, boots nnd shoes, grocaries, iron and stecl, aud all other prod- ucta of tho wanufactories, 'The Canadian oxports to tho United 8tates, so far as thoy had aoy effect upon tho markets of this country, would diminish thu price of the corrosponding articles produced here, whilo the exporta of tho Unitud States to Canada would shat off British supplies to the degree that tho tariffa of both countrios should dis- criminate ngainst Groat Dritain. It fu ox- actly ¢ this point that tho Canndians find thoir difieulty, They aro willing (o com. pote with us in our own iarkets, but not willing that we should compete with the Mothor Conntry in their markets, 'Thoy will nceopt i gft of fiftoon conts per bushel on barley, Lut will not concedo one cont o yard on calico, The extreme solivitude of tho Canadian poople for ** tbe Mother Country” is louch- iug. 1f the Mother Country were only half as wolicitous ubont Canmdian weifare, the people of tho Domimon would be moroe prosperous. ‘Therv Is nothiug the Mother Country wonld 'su wuch like to do as fo shuke of this whinlug ond feeble infaut, which {a now old enough und stroug enough, if it would only think o, to support itself, But Canada will not be shaken off, It wants more **mother” for its size thau any coun. try wo are ncquainted with, In this iustanco wo have the assuruncas of the leading ropre- sentatives of Dritish opinion that the Home Goverument will not object t uny customs union which Caunda aid the United Stutes may find mutnally . advagtageous, Why shonld Canada kevp out so kven uu eye for the intercsts of n country which:will not keep out a koon eye for itself? Ureat Dritain has never herotofore Deen acoused of & want of business sagacity. It is a pity that 1be accusation should with jostice by so fye. quently Lrought ogniust the Dominion of Cauada, THE SBTATE-HOUSE APPROPRIATION. ‘The 8pringfield pnpers are xealously in. slating that, whether tho people vote for or sgainst the donation of 531,713 additional money to supply the deflciencies in tha Stote-House fund, cnused Ly the waste of the Commissioners, they will have to pay the tax 'all tho same. They sre sctually boasting of a trick played by the State-House goug at tho last session of the" Legislature, It will be remembored that the State Con. stitation provides that the Legislaturo * shall not sppropriate out of the Btato Treasury or espoud on account ™ of the new State- House any sum exceeding $3,500,000 with- out ¢ irst submitting the proposition for an additional expenditure to the legal volers of the Btato, at a general election; uor unless » wafority of all the votes cast at such election shall be for the proposcd additional expendi. ture,” The Xegislature, however, without waiting for tho suthority from the popular vote, did mske an sppropriation of the §531,000, conditioned upon tho afirmative vote of Lhepegple; and the Btaw Auditor and Goveruor, in fixing the rate of tax for 1877 for Btate revenue, did include s tax covering this sdditional expenditure for the States _chandiso largoely in excess of our purchasos, House. Thin tax, therofors, is in the levy made for 1877, Now the Ring nt Bpring. fleld are bonsting of this trick, and avo tolling the publio that, whether they vote for or reject the additional half-million of dollars, hoy will havo to pay the tax all tho same. ‘Tho legislative rick was disgracefnl to all who are responsible for it, and the Governor and other State officers who fixed a rate of taxation for this yoar to covor an approprin. tion prohibited by the Constitution aro equnlly reprohcnsible. But all such tricka dofoat thomuclves. The pickpocket s ofton caught in tho net, and his booly takon from him, Tho tax of 1877 is not ecollectablo wuntil noxt year, and beforo that timo the voto will bo taken, nnd, if the appropriation be rejected by the people, all that will be required will be to go before any Cironit Judgo nnd have tho col- lection of any tax lovied for the State-Tlouse probibited. Thoe exponditure of $20 for costs will gettle tho hash of tho whole illegnl lovy. If the people vota down the expondi- turo, the tax will never bo collected; itaille- golity will be 8o evidont that its collection will bo instantly prohibited by the Courts. The Ring aro bonsting that if tho peoplo of the Btate vote down. the appropriation the tax will be collected all the same, and the monoy will bo at Springfleld, and will Lelp along the bauks, and enlarge the offlcial divi- douds, and genvrally revive trade and indus- try at tho State Capital. The boast is A vain one, If the peopla vote down the appropri. ation, the tax lovy will fall with it, and not a dollar of the tax will Lo collected in tho whole,8tate.

A saloon-keeper, who had enjoged thio most fashlonable patron- aze fu the city, went into bankruptey. Among his labilitics was scheduled a debt due to a firm of wholesaie drugglsts ¢ for materials used in compounding liquors.” The publication of this bill, which under ondinary circumnstances would be marked * strictly private and confldential, has agitated tho fashionablo youth. The lu aulry which is naturally suggested to the whisky-drinking man in conuection with It is, What mnteriols are used by the best saloon- keepers fn * compounding Uquors™? And what Is thts new and csoteric arti It facvi- dently o Hourishlug Industry, For If the satoon- keeper owed nearly 81,000 for drugs when he went into bankruptcy, ho must havo pald many thousand dollars on thao sameaccount In the days of s prosperity, There 18 something myste- rlous aliout the phrase, “compounding liquors.” The cocktail they know, and tho insidions julep they huve not neglected; but * compounded liquor * has no place i the vocabulary of the drinking man.

'This cxposure ought to bave a good effcct upon the whisky-driukera, - It euforves the re- marks which Tug TRIsURE has s0 often found occasion to make on the temperauce question, NECESSITY FOR SILVER COINAGE. The demonatization of silver rcsts upon the theory that thero is too much monoy— too much gold and silver coin—in the world, and that thero is a nocessily for reducing it by demonetizing silver and having an excluaive gold currency. Tho effect of this, if fully carried out, would be to reduce the volumo of motallic money perliaps one-half. As the annusl produet of gold s now much below tha averago, and ss, tho in- croased commerce of the world demands s rogular increase of money, tho . general demonetization of silver would have the offect of iucrensing tho purchasiug power of gold, aud that power would continue to in- creaso with the annual falling off in the quantity of that motal produced. We hava alrendy discusged this question of the com- parative offects of a scarcity of money and of an abundance of monoy. There cau be no general prosperity where thero iu n scarcity of money, nor can thero bo any general cal- lapso or financial min where thoro is an sbundance of wetallia piondy. One of tho ovils predicted by those who waut sun ox- clugive gold currency from the remonetiza. tion of silver is, that {t would draw to this country from all parts of the world hundreds of millious of silver to bo hora coined into dollars. Instead of this beiug an ovil, it would be n grent national good. Tho silver, when coined, would be that much substan. tial weslth,~it would have to be invested in something, It wauld bo expended for grain, provisions, cotton, tobacco, petroleum, and for all kinds of Amorican manufactures, It wogd require an inorease of production in proportion to tho increase of tho demand for American products. We would be mere- ly exchanging what wo had produced in ex- coss of our own wants for silver. Tho probability of a universal demonotization of milver {8 too remote to require contro. vorsy, and, while silver would uaturally pour into this country so long u8 it would be worth more here as coln than clsewhere as bullion, this large flow of silver, by produc- ing a scarcity olsowhere, would soon so in- crenge tho value of tho motal that the pros- ent tomporary decline in its-value wounld be correctod. That country is of ncoessity the most prosperous that can control nand keep in its possesnion an abundance of thoe current monoy of the world. For many years the Unitod States have been laboring undor the distross of 8 woarcity of suchnionoy. Silver hias beon too valuable to coln, and with gold haa beou driven out of use by a legal but de- preciatod paper currency., Our stock of coln has been roduced to tho mini- mum, and this hns been handled over and over day nfter dny, and bought and sold in exchango for paper.
