Loxpox, August 31.—The text of the sugar- Dounties convention published to-tay fully con- firms the views of those who regarded this a8 an attempt to abolish bounties by threatening coun- tervalling duties, The Daily News says the great outcry against the government agitation thus begun cannot but prove seriously embarrassing tO Salisbury and his allies when the subject 1s brought before parliament, as 11 must be before long.
