Trade Retween the States and Canada.
Tux result of the fall campaign in the States will have an important bearing upon the future of Canada’s trade policy. If the Democrats be triumphant we may, per- haps, hope for reciprocity between this country and the States in the near future. But if, as now seems most likely, the Re- publicans should be victorious, the fact
will indicate that the people of the States!
desire the McKinley tariff and will admit of no concessivn, except one that will carry the McKinley tariff all around Canada. The conditions which make for the suc- ceas of the Kepublican party in the coming elections are (1) an abundant harvest, good prices for wheat, and general activity and prosperity, and (2) the fact that Germany, Denmark, and other European countries, are, instead of meeting the McKinley tariff with higher rates of duty and heavier re- strictions on their part, actually opening their ports to the American hog and coun- tenancing an increased import of the American products. The Republicans are now working this latter fact for all it is worth. ‘* See,” they say, ‘* under the Mc- Kinley tariff our foreign trade has become greater than ever before. Besides that, we have cheaper sugar than in past years. In addition to that, large numbers of tin- plate workers and other manufacturers who have lost employment in the Old Country as a result of the operation of the McKinley tariff are emigrating to the United States, and we are thus strengthen- ing our manufacturing interests, enlarging the home market for farm products, and obtaining a large addition to the number of our very best class of citizens.” Ina view of these facts it is not unreasonabl: to antici- pate that the United States people will elect to stand by the McKinley tariff. What, in that case, will be the duty of the Canadian people? They must either swallow the McKinley tariff, which means
political annexation, or else cultivate as
much as possible the trade of the Mother |
Country and strive by every means tu in- crease the volume of their foreign com- merce. There can of courae ba but answer from every loyal British man. The alternative of closer relations with our
mother country and the world must be preferred to that of Unrestrict- ed Reciprocity with the States and
and the McKinley tariff. It may and will be deeply regretted that the States have chosen not to trade with Canada on tair terms to the mutual advantage and frater- nity of both countries. But our duty as British subjects is clear. We cannot, if we desire to continue to be British, accept Commerciai Union or Unrestricted leci- procity on terms which provide for one tariff for the whole of North America, that tariff being the McKinley tariff.
In the event of s Republican victory as a reault of the fall elections, it might be well for the Parliament of Canada to take the initiative in a movement to improve our re- lations with the Mother Country. A dis- crimination either by lowering the duties placed upon articles which we usually ob- tain in Great Britain and raising them in respect to articles which we usually obtain in the United States, or by mesus of a countervailing tariff— would, we have no doubt, be appreciated by the greatest trad- ing nation of the world, and, perhaps, lead to friendly measures on their part without impairing our revenue in any marked de- gree.
Notes and Comments.
— The Patriot seems to be very willing that all the Tory boodlers should be punished, and that emivent Conservatives against who nothing corrupt can be proven, should suffer, too—but it would have the Grit rascals very tenderly dealt with.
—What a delightful Ministry we should have had, says the Empire, if Sir John Macdonald had been defeated—Mr. Laur- ier, Prime Minister ; Mr. Mercier, Public Works ; Mr. Langelier, probable Premier of Quebec, with Earnest Pacaud as the in- termediary between the Contractors, the Quebec ,Government and the Dominion Ministry.
—Anyone ought to see that there isa very wide difference between the unproven charges which were brought against Sir Hector Langevin by Mr. Tarte, and the crime which has been brought home to Mr. Mercier and several of hia colleagues in the Government of Quebec, and that # course of treatment which was right and proper in the first case would be eminently wrong in the last. But the Patriot can’t see it’ The Patriot is blinded by party prejudice.
—Henry Clews, of New York, writes: ‘** The general conditions of trade are en- couraging. There are nowhere any speci- fic complaints, nor is there anywhere a boom, but the feeling on all hands is hope- ful for a good and prosperous season’s business. Inthe iron trade, the firmer tone of prices indicates the beginning of a better demand. The increase in the cur- rent consumption of coal is a clear evid- ence of a growing activity in our industries, The earnings of the railroads show a gain- ing rate of increase over those of last year. which is also evidence of a steady expan- sion of the commercial movement.”

Gallant, of Hope River, to the pastorate of Bloomfield parish, the Rev, Father Burke has been relieved of the charge of this im- portant mission which was confided to his care by the late Bishop Melnotyre on the | departure of the Rev. Father VonBlerk for ‘Belcium. The manifold duties which these ‘'m!: sions entailed were nowise neglected by Father Burke, and although obliged to mivister all summer to four large parishes, extending from Lot 3 to Lot 10—a charge which must have kept him on the road day and night—so successful'y has he performed his ministerial duties, and so zealously has ihe built up and elaborated the different ‘churches under his rectorate, that every one of the respective congregations was must anxious tojhave him made their permanent rector. Father Burke farewelled at Bloom- field on Sunday last, when he was presented with two addresses and a purse of money. |The address in French was read by J. C. Duiron, Esq., and is published in the 'Moniteur Acadien; that in English was | read by Mr. W. C. Cheverie, station agent ‘at O'Leary, who has kindly given us the following copy :
ADDRESS. | To the Rev. A. H. Burke, Priest :
REVEREND AND DeAR Farurr, — Before | allowing you to depart from amongst us as our spiritual guide, to resume the charge of your owr missions, we cannot let the oppor- tunity pass of expressing to you our gratitude | for your laborw in our behalf during the time | you have had charge of this parish, and our | regrets that the rel tions existing between us for the past few months are about to be | severed, During the time you have ministered to us have not failed to notice and fully eppreciate your marked zeal tor the further- ance of that cause to which your life is | consercrated, as well as admire the exce lence of your administrative abi.ity. And when we consider how much you have accomp!ished during your short pastorate, handicapped as you were by the charge of three other perishes, what were we not justilied in expecting a‘ your hands when, as we had ventured to hope, you would have become cur permanent pastor? Lut your desire to remain yet awhile with your own people and the defe: ence with which our beloved Bishop has met your wishes have ordered otherwise, Bowing then to the will of God as manifested in the action of His ministers, we submit to our loss in the proper spirit and now beg you to accept this purse with the accompanying expression of our deep gratitude, to which is added the assurance of our prayers and b.st wishes that God may long spare you an ornament to Holy Church and this our native ‘land. From you, dear Father, we ask a rememberance in the Holy Sacrifice and « place in your priestly affections. On behalf ot the English speaking parish- oners of St. Anthony's Church, Bloomfield. Charles Bunn, Thomas Hogan, Henry Saunders, Michael McLellan, John McMillan, Patrick Rooney, Bloomfield, Sept. 13th, 1891.
It is unnecessary to say that Father Burke responded in his usual happy man- ner, speaking first in French and then in English, while those tor whom he had so successfully labored gave way to the strong feelings of surrow his departure occgsioned. Father Burke will still retain the parishes of Alberton and Lot 7,

yeors, and very little, if any, imported iiour will be needed this season.
The mackerel fishing is nearly over, the fishermen having made but a poor catch so far. The fish appear plentiful, but do not take the hook. '
John Coombs, Esq., and the United States’ Vice-Consul arrived yesterday. They purchased about 100 barrels of mackerel at a fair price. They are slways wélcome visitors to this locality, giving a good ‘price and paying dewn the cash. Mr. Coombs looks as young as he did twenty years ago, when he had a fishing establishment of his own up here. é
Nothing intoxicating can now be pur- chased at North Rustico or within fifteen miles of it, which spesks well for the sob- riety of our population.
