Mr. Biake’s Change of Base.

(From the Hamilton Spectator.)

Nobody will be surprised to find Mr. me hedging on the protection qnéstion. ‘He has at last become, conviveed: that the 'people will pot permit, any change in our fiscal policy, and he desires to be under- | stood as holding to free trade as 4 visionary ‘or utopian scheme which he has sometimes

|playfully talked about as desirable. in)

lbome, ideal..communi it); but thatefor the present he is a gond protectionist, who de- sires only to remove some non essentials from the tariff, so as to make it better for the manufacturers.

How are the mighty fallen? Is this the great statesman, the pure patriot, who has been stumping Cansda for years preaching free trade pure and simple, who now falls so low as to juggle with words, and qnieble and pretend that he is the thing he is not! If Mr. Blake is not a free trader then there jisnotone in the werld) At Ch’town, Prince Edward Island, in August last, Mr. Blake said; ‘* Now, | believe that free trade is best for all sections of our community.’ And over and over again he has argued for free trade pure and simple. He has en- Geavored to show how cheap articles would bs if there were no duties on them, In Toronto, after speaking in this strain, he said : ‘‘ These are the principles, as I under- stand them, of free trade, and I hope the world will yet come to free trade.” If Mr. Blake was not then a free trader, he de- liberately intended to deceive the people into believing that he was. Now he pre- tends that ‘* it results as a necessary. inci- dent of our settled fiscal system that there must be a large, and, as 1 believe, in the view of moderate protectienists, an ample adyantage to the home manufacturer.’’ One cannot help wondering whether or not such a man despises himself and loathes the tyranny of circumstances which compels him to say what he does not believe to be true. Henry Clay once said, speaking on this very question of protection, that he would rather be right than be President, There have been men in Canada .who formed hopes of. Edward Blake that he would rather be true to his convictions than be Prime Minister of Canada. There will be none such henceforth. He has pro- claimed himself to the country as a trim- mer and a trickster who can play fast and louse with what he asks us to consider his principles, and who will shape his policy to catch votes. It is too Jate, Mr. Blake. It is too late to catch manufactur- ers, who have learned only to disbelieve you, and you have jaggled with your con- victions only to disgust those who have trusted you.

When. Mr. Blake says that ‘“‘ free trade is for us impossible,” he says what any tyro in political economy knows to be untrue. It is true enongh that free trade would ruin the country. Theu, if protection is essen- tial to the prosperity of the conutry, in the name of common sense, what have Mr. Blake and his fellows been bellowing about for the past three. or fowr years? They were free traders; they are free traders ; they hare advocated free trade, and they are hedging now only because they have discovered thatthe people are unalterably opposed to their political nostrum.

lt is only necessary to say to manufactur- ers and workingmen that protection is safer in the hands of open and avowed + nemies than in the hands of traiturons and for- sworn enemies, who hate it only the more because their interests compel them to pre- tend to be its friends.

Duty paid on Molasses.

Taking the Trade and Navigation Re- turns, we find that the duty paid on molasses imported fer consumption into the Domin- ion, was as follows:

Duty. In 1878 (Grit year), $235.173.50 in 1880 (Lib.-Con. year), 91,678.98 Decrease, $143,494 52

This is a reduction of more than one-half in the molasses tax, and this, we are in- clined to think, will be appreciated by the whole people.

An enthusiastic affair occurred at Stellaz- tenon Wednesday evening, the 19th inst. It was an ovation tendered by the residents to Mr. Hugh McKenzie, «ho for forty-seven years has been school teacher, and since 1851 has held the postmastership at Stel- larton. Mr. McKevze had lately retired from his position, and the residents felt that the cccasion should be marked by some testimonial of respect. Accordingly a meeting was arranged, at which he was presented with an address, accompan with a handsome easy chair and io ts in gold. A programme of music, speeches, ctc., was then gone through with, and the pleasant proceedings were brought to a close by four stalwart men shouldering the chair, with the old gentieman seated in it, and bearing him in triumph to his own residence.
