Ottawa, March 27â€"The delegation from the beet root sugar men waited on the Minister of Finance and lon. Mr. Templeman on Thursday, to ask further encouragement for this Canâ€" adian industry. There were nearly one hundred delegates. In addition to those interested in the industry there were present representatives from a number of Ontario Boards of Trade, and Town Councils. The President and secretary of the Ottawa Board of Prade joined the delegation here. Hon. Mr. Fielding, in reply, poiatâ€" ed out that it would be a mistake to suppose that the sugar industry bad no encouragement under the present tariff. On raw sugars imported from abroad there was a duty of 33 per cent. which was practically protecâ€" tion to that amount. On refined sugâ€" ar there was a duty as against Luroâ€" pean and United States sugars of «bout 50 per cent., which was a great deal more than the average Canadian industry enjoyed. As to the counterâ€" ~ailing duties if he had been a inemâ€" ber of the Imperial Parliament . hbe would have supported their adoption. The conditions in England were dilâ€" ierent from what they were here. ‘There was no tariff advantage to the refiner in England and they were free to take the position. There must® be countervailing duties to meet bountyâ€" ied sugar. Canada gave bounties and so was not in a position to throw stones, or insist on countervailing duties. However, his colleague, Senâ€" ator Templeman would report the reâ€" presentations of the deputation to the Council, and they would be given careful consideration. try The Galt Reporter is giving its readers some â€" interesting extracts irom the fyles of 1865.

Mr. John Lee r05¢ and said he was cvidently the member reâ€" ferred to ; that the comversation 0N which the statement was based . was purely a joke; that Dr. Reaume had admitted this, but had been urged by his party to make the charge. At the same time Mr. Lee said if the hon. member would not admit the jocular version he would meet him in any tri bunal he might choose. Dr. Routledge said Dr. Reaume had recently told him the affair was a joke, and Mr. Auld, who heard the original conversation, confirmed Mr. Lee‘s view. Dr. Reaume, _however, refused to admit it was a joke, but after he had stated that Mr. _ Lee had said the Speakership would give him the entree into Torontp‘s four hundred the House seized the humorâ€" ous side, and the incident â€"dropped. During the discussion Mr. Evanturel spoke, and, replying to Mr. Whitney, said significantly that if the gates of discussion were to be opened he might have something to say himself. Dr. Pyne then resumed his speech and Mr. St. John, following, spoke until 10.30. Mr. W. R. Smyth and Mr. W. Rickard concluded the d?y‘l_debate.,_ .

Pyne (East Toronto) opened the debate by saying that the very great honor which the Governâ€" ment had conferred upon the Speaker had been somewhat degraded by the fact that the Speakership had been peddled about the country and offered to half a dozen members of the House. Mr. Rossâ€"Who were they ? Dr. Pgleâ€"’l‘he members for North Essex (Dr. Reaume) and the member for South Oxford (Mr. Sutherland).
