What a Neva Scotian Captain Thinks of the National Policy.

THE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING DOMINION RE- PRESENTATIVES IN SYMPATHY WITH THE DOMINION GOVERNMENT AT OTTAWA. Among the masters of Nova Seotian schooners at Cardigan Bridge this fall was Capt. William Ross, of Port LaTour, Shel- burne County, N. 8. Capt. lioss com- mands the schooner Edith A., of Pubnico, andis a fine representative of the hardy mariners of the Maritime Provinces.

Last spring he was sent to England by Mr. Fraser of Ualifax to bring out the yacht Uviva from Southampton, a vessel of only sixteen tons burthen; and the log of the voyage, which was published in the Halifax papers, showed that the passage was accomplished in the good time of eighteen days

Talking with Capt. Ross one evening, your correspondent happened to ask about Thomas Robertson, Esq, who formerly represented Shelburne County at Ottawa. This opened the way for the Captain to give his views on political subjects. Afcer stating that Mr. Robertson—atter being de- feated in 1887—had left Shelburne Coun'y tor New York to engage in insurance busi- ness, the Captain said that the present member for Shelburde County (General Laurie) was doing a great deal more for the people .of that constituency than the Rub- ertsous, either father or son, had done Why, said he, during the three years since the Gener 1 was elected, he has got more public money for Shelburne County than was got in twenty years before.

Can you tell us, Captain, what public works General Laurie has got for his County ?

Yes, I know of some of them in ovr part of the country We havea fine whistling buoy at Port Latour built lately that is a great advantage to all the vessels passing the coast. Then the government wharf at Barrington has been extended out some 500 feet so that the steamer can come right up to it at any tide. Formerly the steamer had to wait until high tide before freight or passengers could be landed, but now no delay is occasioned. Then there is another public work at Port Negro that Colonel Laurie has gut $5000 for, viz : the canal or haul over from Port Negro to Clyde River. This canal has been opened out and deep- ened, and rafts and scows drawing five feet of water can pass through it, and by this means poor men wanting lumber can get it more cheaply than by hating to haul it. by iand or freight it in echooners. In fact, said the Captain, General Laurie has prov-' ed himself a right kind gof representative. He can get what his constituents want, ad he is getting more popular every day.

Will he be elected next election ¢

Yes, with a larger majority than he had before.

How does the National Policy affect the

‘Nova Scotia tishermen !

Well, they don’t grumble very much.

Some say it would be better to have free

trade with the States; but we don’t want

the Yankees to have it all their own way.

Some years ago the Gloucester fish mer-

chants used to supply all the fish for the

lumbermen on the St. John River. They

used to send it clear up to Canada. Now

we send our cudfish, that we have had in

pickle until the lst of September, over to

St. Johan and sell it at good prices. You

see, fish cured in that way only wants two

from Gloucester.

Well, huw are the people over your way

getting along! The Grits say that every-

one is being ruined by the National Policy.

Oh! that is only political talk, said the Captain. The Nova Scotians are doing

well. Lock at the fleet of vessels out of Mahone Bay, Lunenburg, Shelburne,

Pubnico, Yarmouth, all along the coast of

Nova Scotia in fact. Why at Port Latour there isa place called Smith Town and

every man in it is well off. They all have

money more or less and own shares in

vessels’ The fishing vessels are nearly ai!

owned in shares, aud perhaps thirty or! forty different owners will have shares in | one schooner. They work on the co-oper- | ative system. As svonas & young man saves $50 or $100, he invests it in a schoun- er and then goes to work in her himse'f, if he can get a birth; and nearly everyone

in the Nova Scotia fishing fl-et

own shares in the Svessel they are in

or in some others from the same port. |

Don’t the young men go away to the States: as they do on this Island? No, very few of | them go, aud those that do go often come baek to stay with their parents in the winter. The young men who stay right at home do the best in Nova Scotia.

The captain ther branched off inte other subjects, and the interview on public questions enied,.

One thing is noticeable in what the captain says, viz: that it is a good thing to have an influential representative at Ottawa, Just compare what General Laurie has done for,

have done for this province.

What public works have they got built during the past three years? have they at Ottawa ?

Surely the people of this province will now see the fatal mistake they mvle when they

rectify the error. Yours truly,

To be always surprisingly good, and on special occasions to be ever 80 muc’; better, seems to be a characteristic of ‘The Youth's Companion.” Its regular weekly issues are almost perfect, but the souvenir numbers, including the double Christmas number just received, are among the most attractive of the inany holiday publications.

sent opponents of the government to represent them; aud will take the first chance to Truro

Mr. Foster's Mission.

The Finauce Minister is apparently dving good work in the West Indies. An Antigua newspaper of November 20 gives an account of a conference had by him with the Logis- lat:ve Council of that Island, in which the question of ree’procal trade was fully discussed. Mr. Foster gave expression to the Canadian desire for freer commercial relations with the West India Islands, by differential duties on their sugar and other products, in return for which Canada would require a differential duty on the things the people of the West Indies buy—the products of the forest, coals, ete., sufficient to turn the trade of the West Indies from the United Sta'es to this country. In re- ply, most of the members of the Council spoke favorably of the proposal.

Mr. James Burns spoke and referred to the great drawbacks to a direct trade with Canada, viz, the non-existence of bankiog faailities. He pointed cut that a Canadian house could not piace an order here, nor vice versa, without the intervention of and paying to!l to a London or New York bank. He also referred to the absence of a postal money order system and parcel post, and the necessity for sending out agents to learn our particular requirements,

Mr. Searville agreed with the remarks of Mr. Burns anent banking arrangements, money order and parcel post systems He had always advocated closer trade rele- tions with Canada in his place in the coan- cil, and especially when reciprocity with the States was mooted. A long experience of the trade of the Island assured him that, with the exception of pitch pine lamber,

‘allthe supplies we get from the States

could be obtained from Canada, and the only requirements would be to learn the quality and description beat adapted to the use of our peasantry. For instance, pork used in other places fer the table, with vur people it took the place of butter or lard fur frying purposes. Hence a very fat article was required. With re- ference to the produce of the island, the Maritime Provinces were at the present our best customers for molasses, The effect of the McKinley bill would be tu make the Dominion our ouly customer for that article. He had for a long time de- sired to see an importation of Prince Ed- ward Island horses, and was glad a trial bad been made by a late arrival. With reference to manutactured goods —woolens, shoes, etc..—he was of opinion that Canada could also supply our requirements.

Other speakers, inclnding the governor, favored Mr. Foster's proposal, and the Antigua paper says :—

** Mr Foster, in reply to the remark of Mr. Burns about banking facilities, stated that they would follow as a consequence of increased trade relations, that he saw nu reason why the postal mouey order system should not be soon put ia force. The difti- culty about the parcel post was that there was no regalar direct communication and they could not send the parcels by the steamers from the United States. On the general question he stated the interests cf the Dominion were parallel with ours—he admired the conservativenets of the speak- ers. Of course it was necessary for them to consider their interests, and he hoped that arrangements would be arrived at to mutual advantage. He thanked the mem- bers of the council for the attention they had paid to bis remarks, and the interest they had evinced and which he believed was sincere,

The Peter J. Macdonald Refrig-

erator.

In srecent number of the Cape Ann Breezs we notice & short description of this useful invention. Like all enterprises of a similar character, this machine had to meet aud overcome many obstacles, and conse- quently it took a long time to convince the public of its utility and practibility. Now, however, there can be no doubt that ic does p ssess these qualities; for Msssrs. Vass & Haskell, of Gloucester, had one constructed a few weeks since on their whart in that city, and it works adm rably. What they say of its operation is this ; It will make from twenty-five to thirty tons of ics a

‘day; this ice will cost nut more than one ‘dollar per tov and probably much less; it

will freezs bait of any description in four hours and keep it in perfect condition in any season or ip any climate; it will either

| -nake ice or refrigerate at the same time, ‘or do both at once.

This article is patented in Canada as well as in the United States. It will beyond a doubt confer immense advantages on sil engaged in the fishing industry because now they will be able to bring their fish to the best markets fresh and in good order.

The inventor and patentee of this machine, whose name it bears is & Pp. E Islander, a brother to Michuel Macdonald, of Goose River, King’s County. He is therefure a son of the venerable old lady, whoee centenary was celebrated with sich eclat last June, and a nephew to His Lord- ship Bishop McIntyre.

{f Hon. Mr. Foster succeeda in negotiating such a treaty as he suggests, he will do an excelient thing for Canada, an for the West Indies as well, Unlike the United States, the West Indies are not our rivals in *ny- thing, nor we of theirs. One country is the exact commercial complement of the other. Indeed nothing better could happen both countries than political consolidation; so that the fullest and most permanent of reciprocity arrangemen: could be established bet ween

them.
