The Policy of the Fature.

As an indication of the drift of opinion

in Great Britain, we quote the following

notable article fromthe Morning Post of London :

“The fact that British trade is not likely to sustain permanent injury from the thorough. going system of Protection which has been adopted in the United States should not blind us to the nature of the Act or its avowed ob jects. It is, as we have already described it, a declaration of commercial war against the rest of the world, but aimed especially against this country and her greatest colony. ** America for the Americans,’ in commerce as well as politics, is the principle which under- lies it, and it has been designedly contrived so as to put the maximum pressure upon the British population of the North American Continent to throw in their lot with the United States. Whatever may be our opin- ion as to the ultimate effect of their new com. mercial policy upon our position in the other markets of the world, it would be absurd to pretend that we know better than the Ameti- cans what is for their benefit, and idle to lec- ture them upon the folly of departing from tha principles of Free Trade. The citizens of the United States are Protectionists because they believe that Protection is good for them. More fortunately placed than European coun- tries, they have no heavy naval or military expenditure, the resources of their continent are capable of supplying all their needs, and, tightly or wrongly, they hold that it is better to pay higher prices for their commodities if thereby they can ensure abundant employ- ment and high wages for their vast and constantly-increasing population. We in like manner are Free Traders, not merely because Free Trade is theoretieally sound, but because it is an absolute necessity to a country so circumstanced as ours is. The masses of the peoble of this country, with whom political power now rests, would be Protectionists to-morrow if it were demon- strated that protection was for their benefit. To them, at all events, Free Trade has ceased to be a dogma the infallibility of which must not be questioned, and has become a simple matter of expediency. Hence the absence of any demand for retaliatory measures against the McKinley Tariff, and the universal ad- mission of the right of the United States to protect their own interests even at the ex- pense of ourselves ani of other nations. The old fetish of the Cobden Club, which might be worshipped but must not be argued with, has been deposed, and in its stead the work- ing classes have erected the reasonable doc- trine that Free Trade is to be followed be- cause itis demonstrably a good thing. Jf it can be shown that any modification of our sys- tem of Free Trade would conduce to the welfare of the Emplre, no pedantic scruples as to the infallibility of a theory would be allowed to stand in the way of its adoption.

Much of the sacro-sanctity with which Free Trade was formerly invested arose out of a narrow view that was taken of the British Empire. In the eyes of the Manchester Sckool our colonies and dependencies were of little importance, if, indeed, they were nota costly and troublesome appendage. The British Isles were the Empire, and to feed and employ their teeming population Free Trade was indispensable, even though we alone amongst the nations of the world practised it. We were absoluely dependent upon foreign countries for our food supplies, and they provided our only markets. Ay that has been changed by the growth of a British Empire beyond the seas, bound to the Mother Country by ties of loyalty and affection, and with an illimitable capacity for supplying all our re- ener in rapid process of development.

t is no exaggeration to say that the Imperial Federation movement which has brought so prominently before the English people the vast extent and resources and the enormous importance of our Colonial possessions has done much to to render obsolete the old ideas of Free Trade. The M’Kiy ey Tariff is des. tined to exercise a similar, and, perhaps, a more potent influence. In quarters where it was once accounted rank heresy to hint a doubt of the wisdom of one-sided Free Trade there are already indications that the develop- ment of commercial relations with our own possessions is being more and more looked for- ward to as the solution of the problem which has been the wonder and the despair of Free- traders since the daysof Copepn. The manly and courageous attitude of the Canadian Govern- ment at the present juncture would go far to predispose the minds of the English people to a favourable consideration of any practicable proposal for promoting increased trade between the Mother oats and the Colonies, The scheme which is in contemplation for shorten- ing the Atlantic p by a line of steamers ranning between England and Halifax will, if successtully carried out, give an immense stimulus to trade with the Dominion, and it is within the bounds of possibility that we may yet witness the transfer of the great grain and cattle trades with Europe trom Chicago and St. Louis to Canadian ports. The time seems to have come for the English people to realize that if America has ample resources where- with to supply her wants, they have an Em- pire of even reater extent and more varied capacities. For the de- velopment and utilization of its resources so as to render Great Britain independent of all foreign countries in the matter of her food supplies, and for the creation of new markets for her manufactures, the wisdom of statesmen is needed. The invitation which has been given by Canada to England to enter into closer commercial relations will be re- echoed by our other Colonies, and will not fall upon unsympathetic ears. What action should first be taken to respond to it is not within our province to suggest, but a re- assembling of the Conference of Colonial Delegates which was held in 1887 would be a practical and desirable step at a time when the whole question of our foreign commercial relations is coming to the front in connection with the approeching expiry of many of our Commercial Treaties.”

Notes and Comments.

—_—

The Patriot professes to be ‘* amazed at Tue Examiner.” Its amazement is due to the fact that Tre Examrver has quoted

the opinions of leading United States statesmen and citizens, and| pointed to the we Bill, as} proofs that the trade policy of the

United States may be summed up in the word ‘ protective." The Patriot hopes that the working of the McKinley Bill will result in the defeat of this policy. We hope so, too. Meanwhile, it will be well for the people and Parliament of Canada to bear in mind the facts of ‘* the situation. ”

—A new crime in another member of the Canadian Administration has, says the Empire, been discovered by a Grit organ. ‘** Young Mr. Tupper” has the audacity to remark that it would be a good thing if Canadian freight was sent from the seaports of Canada, instead of being shipped from the ports ot the United States. It is very sad, of course, that a Canadian Minister should prefer the interests of Canada to those of the United States, but we see no remedy till the Grits get into office, and that is so very far off. Meanwhile Can- adian Ministers will continue to prefer Canada and the applause of the Canadian people

A recent British trade report gives an account of the remarkable growth of the egg trade in Denmark. Twenty-five years ago the export amounted to only 45,000 score, whilst in 1887 5,500,000 score were shipped abroad. The greater number are sent to England, where they compete with eggs from Normandy and other parts of France. The report says that *‘an enor- mous extension in the production of eggs is confidently looked for” ia the Damsh province of Jutland. The export price has varied considerably. Prior to 1877 it averaged 18 cents per score. In that year it went up to nearly 25 cents, and then dropped gradually until it is now 20 and 21 cents per score.

— It is very pleasing to find the follow- ing note in the Morning Post of London, G. B., (Oct. 8) :—

© As an illustration of the difficulty which will be experienced in disposing of certain kinds et produce, Messrs. James Carter & Co., of High Holborn, have received the following inquiry from a correspondent at Charlotte- town Prince Edward Island, dated September 16 :—

* Dear Srrs,—On account of the American Government passing a tariff act, imposing 5c. per dozen duty on eggs, we find it necessary to look for other markets. We think there should be a chance te sell in the London mar- ket. Would you kindly mention the names of one or more commission houses who would undertake the selling of our eggs, also kindly ask them to write to us, and give us all the information they can as to prices during the year, and such other matters as are neces- sary. Pricce Edward Island exports over 2,000,000 dezens of eggs each season. With best respects, yours truly, (ieo, Carter & Co. —To James Carter & Co.

We learn that Messrs. Carter & Co. are now in receipt of several communications from London firms, and that from the infor- matien received they feel confident that by shipping only fresh eggs, properly packed, @ successful trade may be done in the Eng- lish market—especially if the steamship companies will assist the shippers by pro- viding cool storage, quick transit and moderate freight rates. Well done!

Supper in Honor of Col. George.

AN impromptu supper party of the friends of Col. George, late United States Consul here, entertained him at the Hotel Davies last evening. The occasion was the intended departure of this gentleman for his home in Tennessee. Benjamin Rogers, Esq., occupied the chair, having on his right the guest of the evening, and on _ his left (Lt. Col. Irving. The vice chair was worthily filled by,John Maceachern, Esq. The supper was got up in the usual good style of the proprietor of the Davies, and was everything that could be desired. After justice had been done to the good things of the table the honored guest’s health was duly proposed and most enthusiastically drank. All present bore willing and honest testimony to the high character of the late Consul, to the faithful and honorable manner in which he discharged the duties of his office and to his very many excelleut social qualities and general and sincere re- gret was expressed at our friend’s departure. We heartily endorse all the good things that were said at the banquet in favor of Col. George, and regret that this Island is losing so worthy and acceptable a _ gentle- man,

Y. M. L. A.

The annual meeting of the Young Men’s Literary Association of St. James’ Church was held in St. James’ Hall, on Tuesday evening, the 21st inst. The report of the Secretary-Treasurer was read, also a finan- cial statement showing the amounts re- ceived by him from the sale of tickets, also of the cash taken at the door during the last winter, and it showed that it was about the best year that the Society had since it was established. The total amount from all sources was $325.07, the whole of which was expended in connection with the work of the Society, except a small balance of $27.92. The report and statement was re- ceived and ordered to be handed to the Church Auditor. This being the regular night for the election of officers, it was then held, when the following were elected for the ensuing year, viz : J. A. Nicholson, President; Duncan McLean, Ist Vice Pre- sident; Edward Bell, 2nd Vice President; D. KR. Maclellan, Secretary-Treasurer, (re- elected.) An Executive Committee, com- posed of the following members, was also appointed : Messrs. H. C. Macdonald, C. I. Morrison, William Small, A. H. McNeill, A. McCannell, A. E. Morrison, C. B. Me- MeNeill and T. Gooodwill.

It is pleasing to note that an excellent programme of lectures and entertainments has been prepared for the Tuesday evenings of the coming winter. The lecturers in- clude Rev. David Sutherland, Rev. W, P. Archibald, Rev. D. McRae, Rev. H. Dickie, A. A. Bartlett, Esq., and C. B, Macneill, Esq., and the subjects are all popular.

Canadian Eggs in Engiand.

(Montreal Witness.

land has opened very successfully by ali accounts. Of shipments of five or six hun- dred cases which oa been made, returns have been received of a fair proportion, which show that after allowing tor freights, commissions and so forth, the net proceeds to the shippers were about nineteen or nineteen and a half cents a dozen. The, eggs were shipped in cases of thirty dozen

each, securely and nicely - up, and they | brought nine shilliugs and sixpence a long’ hundred, or one hundred and twenty eggs.

The freight charged was fifteen shillings | per ton, which is, we are told, considered | very reasonable. Doubtless the steamship | companies, which are greatly interested in developing the profitable package trade, will do all they can to _ encourage the trade. The shippers are, it is said,

satisfied with the result of this first venture | and the trade will now be energetically and confideutly pushed. Commission mer- chants, and even dealers on the other side, have already invited consignments, and, no doubt, large numbers of eggs will at once go forward. It seems not unlikely the im- mediate effect of these shipments and the indirect effect of the McKinley Bill will be to enhance the price of eggs here. The British market will take all and more than all the eggs Canada can supply, witb- out in the least weakening. It appears that in the British markets eggs are divided into four great classes. New-laid are from one day to one week old, and must be per- fectly fresh; they bring forty-eight to seventy-eiylt cents per dezen. Ordinary cooking egys, not fresh but neither stale nor tainted, bring twenty-four to thirty- six cents per dozen. Box eggs, which are stale and used mostly by the poorer classes, sell at from eighteen to twenty- four cents per dozen. Then there are the lowest class, fit only for manufacturing pur- }) ses, and which bring from fifteen to uineteen cents per dozen. If these classifi- cations and prices are correct surely Can- adian eggs should bring more than tweuty or twenty-four cents per dozen. They should surely elass as cooking eggs, which sell at from 24 to 36 cents per dozen. Indeed, the aim of Canadian shippers should be to supply really fresh eggs, such as could be eaten by the most particular person. This can certainly be done if trouble is taken in collecting them while fresh laid, and in preserving and packing them so that they will come out of the case with clean shells. Surely the difference in price between good eating eggs and cooking eggs, amounting from twenty to thirty cents on each dozen should be margin sufficient to pay for special methods of collection aud rapid for- warding as well as to provide a high puofit.

Horse Notes.

At Napa, California, on Sunday, Stam- boul trotted against time and lowered his i Axtell’s record, making a mile in 2.11%.

The Horseman, of Chicago, (Oct. 16) con- tains an account of the races recently held at Charlottetown. The Horseman isa first- class journal of its kind.

The Ameriean Sportsman very sensibly observes ; ‘*When the exception proves the rule, Thoroughbred mares will be most de- sirable ones from which to breed trotter, Those that mated the parents of Leopard Rose and Keno F. did not expect world- beaters to result from the union. They looked rather for desirable road horses, or if trotters one that would make a favorable showing ata county fair, but their chances of getting a Grand Circuit performer were 100 per cent, better than those that select Thoroughbred matrons and expect trotters at the first remove.

A recent New York telegram states that Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt bought a pair of superb carriage horses and secured a prize coachman in Paris last summer. They were the property of a Mr. Thorne, a rich banker. He refused to part with them when Mrs. Vanderbilt's agent first applied, but he finally sold the pair for $12,000. They are half-blood Percherons, and are pronounced the most beautifully matched pair of horses ever seen. Having got the finest horses in Paris, Mrs. Vanderbilt de- termed to lure away the tinest coaghman. She made liberal offers to Guillot, the fa- vorite postillion of Napoleon III., and he accepted them.

After briefly chronicling the fact that Guy beat Sunol by three-quarters of a second he adds: ** He is a short-gaited horse, and the slippery track suited him much better than it did the long-striding daughter of Electioneer.” How simple} And yet, we will venture to say, sume heart!'ess person will scoff, and say that a track on which a horse trots in 2.124 is not very slippery.

A few good private teams, however, might cause a little emulation, though really our most enthusiastic horse- men have no desire to go fast.”

The four-year-old record that was good at the close of 1889 has been beaten by five different trotters this season, the horses to do this being Sunol, 2.104; Margaret S., 2.124; Nancy Hanke, 2.144; Alabaster, 2.15; and Allerton, 2.154. Edgemark, who previously had the best record for a four-year-old stallion, 2.16, was to have been, according to a Boston paper, sent for & fresh mark this fali, and it is possible that he may turn up at Lexington during the meeting there, and havea shy at the watch. A stallion that just now heads the four-year-old colts is Allerton, that in his race at Terra Haute last Friday, stepped the third mile in 2.154, placing himself at the head of the list so far as four-year-old stallions are concerned. Allerton’s mark was made inthe third heat of the 2.16 race, which he won handily enough from Ketch and Dick Smith. The time was 2.20, 2.174, 2.154, and Allerton is in the front once more.

The Live Stock Journal of Chicago re- marks: On the day that Sunol trotted the Cleveland track not long ago in 2.13} the local trotter Guy did the distance in 2,124. Of course this was a vastly better perform- ance than that of Sunol, both being on the same day and track, and there was con- siderable interest felt in learning how Mr. Bonner’s editor, he of the Turf, Field and Farm, would explain the matter. The job would have puzzled some people had it been part of the conditions of the explana- tion that under no circumstances was it to
