Do You Want a_ Reciprocity Treaty ?

You cannot get it by giving up your trade rights. Sir John A. MeDonald’s Government protected our fisheries by say- ing that Canadian fisheries were for Canada. The United States kept us outside their three-mile limit, but American and Cana- dian boats lay side by side within our limit. The fish caught by the American must go into the United States free of duty, but the Canadian caught fish was kept out by a protective tariff. Sir John’s Govern- ment fitted out schooners to warn Ameri- can fishermen from our limits, and they succeeded. It was said that this would irritate the Yankees, but the real effect was to get an offer from the Americans—an offer to pay us for the privilege of our fishing grounds. We got free entry to their markets for our fish and $3,500,000 to enable the jeering Cartwright to cover up his deticiencies'-—Speech of the Hon. Geo. BE. King in St. John, N.

If the transaction is a straightforward one, what good reason can Mr. Cartwright vive for his persistent refusal to give the names of the persons to whom these Bonds were sold ?

Why should there be any secrecy about it ?

Tt is well known that, on a previous occa- sion, Mr. Tilley positively refused to sell at w fixed rate, and thus leave himself open to the suspicion of having put the difference into his pocket.

Until Mr. Cartwright gives the informa- tion, he should be held strictly to account for the shameful loss in this transaction.

COAL OIL.

Wuo reduced the the duty on Coal Oil? The Patriot says the Govern- ment. Now to the proof. On the 3rd day of March, 1876, Mr. Colby, (Oprosit10N) moved to reduce the duty on Coal Oil from 15 cts. to 7}, leaving the excise duty of 5 cts. a gallon still on. On the 3lst of March—after the Government had had plenty of time to consider the matter—he again brought his resolution be- fore the House. The Government voted it down—though they admitted that an or- ganized band of oil monopolists had raised prices to such an extent that the country was unjustly bled by them to the extent of about $2,000,000 a year. On the platform and in the press the Opposition denounced the unrighteous tax ; and in the session of 1877 the Government were forced to introduce a bill to abate the iniquity. They reduced the impost duty to 6 cents ; but at the same time they took away the excise duty paid by the monopolists, and practically gave them nearly as much pro- tection as they had before.

_-— >. ——-_-- o- — (From the Si. John (N. B.) Sun. ) The Downfall of the Government.

Turoverout Canada are to be seen to- day the most satisfactory indications of the complete overthrow of a Government who have signalized their reigns by acts of tyr- anny, corruption, lawlessness and mal-ad- ministration, unexampled in number and in danger in the entire history of Canadian These indications and evidences are apparent to they exist in every quarter.

self-Government. all observers; From Van- couver to Cape Breton, from the Saguenay to Shefford, the popular revolt has been marked by a spirit and a determination which recall to readers of English history the brightest days of the most glorious epochs that marked the struggles of our fa- thers for Constitutional liberty.

To fully appreciate the wonderful change which has been wrought in public sentiment in Canada, in the short space of five years, it is necessary to recall the state of things which existed when the Government of Mr. McKenzie, in the flush of their young strength, went joyfully to the polis. Our readers will remember that in 1873, the Government, new to office, had everything their own way in the elections. They went to the country promising reform and pros- perity, lighter taxes, abundant labor, econ- omy, retrenchment, purity and all the other political virtues, privileges and immunities ; and on such cries they swept the country from end to end. Toronto, Montreal, Hamilton, Halifax, St. John--all the cities responded to their appeal, voted down the supporters of McDonald, and voted in the supporters of McKenzie. ‘The Government met Parliament with a majority so strong that it ranged at random between seventy and one hundred members. But soon there came achange. The new men were weighed in the balance and were quickly found wanting. First, they failed to come up to the expectations of the country in the matter of reform. They proved themselves to be, in the words of Mr. Blake, ‘‘ Reformers who could find nothing to reform.” Next they demonstrated their complete incom- petency in matters of administration. Gradually it was discovered that they abounded in corrupt arts and practices. The Election Court wrung the necks, one by one, of about thirty or forty of their supporters. As rapidly as vacancies oc- curred through the unseating or disfran- chising of Government supporters, the country pronounced against the Govern- ment and elected the Opposition candidates. Seat after seat was lost in this way to the Government, until the majority of seventy to one hundred dwindled to thirty-five or forty. The Opposition, backed by the country, unearthed scandal after scandal ; and exposure followed exposure with such lightning-like rapidity that the Government secmed to lose control of their senses ; and, determined to maintain their hold on the treasury, plunged deeper and deeper into jobbery and extravagance in the hope of being able to attract corrupt support by the scent of public plunder. The Op- moved onward with a

refused to stand for re-election, and the party forced him into the fight by nominat- ing him in his absence. In that capital, Mr. Jones has been reduced to the painfuy necessity of witnessing one after another of his leading supporters leaving him, and either ‘‘ sulking in their tent” or going over bodily to the enemy. So far, in tact, has the tide turned in that constituency that Loth the Minister of Militia and Mr. Power are doomed to overwhelming defeat. —Pic- tou’s two seats, the five in the Island of Cape Breton, and others in Nova Scotia proper, will declare against the Goevein ment, who will be beaten in Nova Scola alone by a majority of eight or ten.

In Westmorland, Sir Albert Smith,whom the Telegraph, Globe, Freeman, and the Government party generally had ‘ elected by acclamation” a number of times, is as certain to be overtaken by defeat as that his name is Albert Smith. In St. John the proofs of the Opposition carrying the three seets are so clear and circumstantial

that he who runs may read. Not only so, but Carleton, Queen’s, Charlotte and Al-:

bert certainly will be redeemed; and the Opposition may make stil! further gains in New Brunswick, besides holding all they held before, giving the Opposition in New srunswick at least a majority of six.

In Charlottetown, the from all parts of the Island, would scarcely give the Premier a hearing, and five --if not the whole six of the Island seats— will

electors, drawn

vo for the Opposition.

In Montreal the Government cause has broken down completely. Only at the last moment could a candidate be induced to stand in the Government interests for that city ; while Mr. Devlin has abandoned the Government and is running as an “ inde- pendent.” The three Montreal seats, which were carried for the Government before, are now booked for the Opposition. In Ottawa city, a few days ago, people would not lis- ten to the Premier at a public meeting, when they cheered to the echoa subordin- ate official who resigned his office in the

‘ Commons to run against the Government,

and who, with his Opposition colleague, will certainly be elected. In fact, the Province of Quebee as a whole is safe for an Opposi tion majority of ten or twelve, according to the ealeulations of the Government’s friends.

In London, even Major Walker, who a few months ago, sat as Chairman of the Grit Convention of Ontario, will not now come out squarely in favor of the Govern- ment. To get rid of the odium of the Government’s acts, he offered as an ‘‘in- dependent,” but the electors will not ac cept him under any flag, and he will be badly beaten. In Toronto Mr. John Me- Donald, the dry goodsman, who acted with the Government in the last House, was anxious to retire, and announced to that effect ; but the Government party brought extraordinary pressure to bear; and, after great urging, he agreed to stand. Although a strong man and a worthy politician, he will be defeated. In the other two Toronto Divisions men of straw have been set up to prevent the Opposition taking the seats by default ; and so the three Divisions are as certain to return Opposition candidates as if the men were already elected. Sir John A. McDonald will be re-elected for Kings- ton with a handsome majority. Tremen- dous efforts have been put forth to defeat him, but unsuccessfully, and instead of there being division in Sir John’s ranks, it turns out that there is a split among the Grits, a leading member of the Party hay- ing seceded and joined Sir John! At the very worst the Opposition will divide On- tario with the Government, thus prac tically defeating them in their long-time stronghold.

The news from Manitoba and British Columbia shows that in the former Province the Opposition will have a majority of at least two, while Columbia goes a solid six against the Government, giving the Oppo- sition a majority of eight in the two Prov- inces.

There is no doubt that the Government's doom is sealed beyond hope of change. Every hour adds to the strength of the popular uprising. Condemned by their consciences—condemned by the laws of Canada—condemned by the spirit and lan- guage of the Constitution—condemned by every precedent and every authority to which there is a possibility of appeal, the members of Mr. MeKenzie’s Government are now in the strong grasp of an outraged People, from whose hands they will drop only to be hurried to a swift and righteous execution.

SYDNEY COAL, REDUCTION IN PRICE!

NOTICE (TO THE PUBLIC!

Hk GENERAL MINING ASSOCTA.

TLON (Limited) beg to imtimate to the Public that the price of SYDNEY COAL has been

Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs.,

a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers,

The opening of the new winning at ** THR SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now beiag shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

It is a well-kuow fact that for many years pest the prices of other Cape Breton coals have

n reguiated by the rates fixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at ail, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account che superior lastin qualities of SYDNEY COAL when ounnened with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price.

The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘* EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” “SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., ete., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coalas SYDNEY COAL (from some designated locality). All these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the staNparp character of SYDNEY COAL,

It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances parties giving orders to truckmen and others tor SYDNEY COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal. The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed upon in this way.

Every vessei loaded at THE SYDNEY MINES is furnished witha certificate of the cargo being Sydney Coal, Parties purchasing should satisfy themselves by demanding the production of this certificate.

The ‘‘ Sydney Coal” is registered under the laws of the Dominion, and unauthorized parties using the Trade Mark “SYDNEY COAL” are liable to prosecution.
