A Few of Mr. Sinclair’s Blunders.

1. At Brookfield he flatly contradicted Mr. Pope when he sald that McKenzize’s Government, when first formed, contained FOURTEEN members. All the world knows that Mr. Pope was right and Mr. Sinelair wrong.

2. At Brookfield he flatly contradicted Mr. Pope when he said the McKenzie Gov- ernment had imposed heavy duties upon malt which they had not taken off. We have shown conclusively that Mr. Pope was right and Mr. Sinclair wrong.

3. At the monster meeting in the Skat- ing Rink the other night (Dr. Tupper’s meeting) he justified the absurdly ruinous way in which McKenzie had constructed two pieces of the Pacific Railway—leaving a blank in the middle—by saying that Me- Kenzie intended to utilize the water s‘retches. Every one ought to know that the present line of railway is miles away from the ‘‘water stretches.”

We ask the electors who intend voting for Mr. Sinclair to panse and reflect on these things.

The Local Situation.

Tue Locai Premier has been eating humble pie in company with some of his political opponents. At his solicitation several members of the Legislature who backed up Mr. Sullivan in opposing the iniquitous tax bill and other almost equally iniquitous measures of his Government met him last evening in the Provincial Building. it is said that a good many fat things were artfully displayed and ollered if they would only fall down and worship him ; and it is said that one or two were almost persuaded.

gut the teue mena prevailed. Other will, doubtless, be tried. The result be the same.

Truly, things must have come to a pretty pass with the Local Premier whe he ies te get the men whom he lately ridiculed and ill-treated and spurned, (and whose greatest merit with the country to-day is, that they opposed his bad meas: es) to come and bolster him u», and n: ve him along to the end of his political term o°

Tue market to-day was similar to that of Tuesday. The upper department was well stocked with vegetables, which was sold at moderate prices. The fo'owing is a list of prices :—-Chickens, per pair, from 35 to 48 cents; ducks, each, from 25 to 30 cents: eggs, from to 12 cents per dozea, butter. fresh, from 20 to 24 cents per pound; do tub, from 16 to 18 cents; lamb, from 5 io ee mutton, from 5 to 10 cents; beef, 8 » trom 5 to 15 cents per pound: quarter, from 5 to 8 a. ee

Senator Howlan’s Views.

Tak St. John Telegraph says :— ‘‘Senator Howlan lately made a telling speech at Alberton, P. E. 1., in favor of a revenue tariff for the Maritime Provinces; in favor of the Government also, and against the return to power of the corrupt chiefs of the Opposition. Mr. Howlan is a strong and able man.”

We are convinced that there is some mis” take here. We have the very best anthor- ity—the authority of Senator Howlan himself—for stating that Senator Howlan is politically, just what and where he has been. His views, he says, ‘‘ have not changed.” As to his views respecting the present. Goy- ernment and the tariff question, we invite the attention of the Telegraph to one of his speeches delivered in the Senate last win- ter and reported as follows :—

Any thoughtful man must come to the conclusion when a depression has taken place in the trade and manufactures of a country, that some remedy must be found to restore, at all events, the equilibrium between the expenditure and revenue. But what is the policy of the Government! They say the country is like a sick man ; all that you have to de is to let him alone and he will set well in time. I say that it is an ertra- ordinary policy, and | coniend that some step must be taken to save the country from the effects of such treament. We find one body of gentlemen—-those who hold ofiice— are Free Traders, while those who are op- posed to them are Protectionists. [ am one of those who believe you cannot have either Free Trade or Protection in a young country like this. I believe Free Trade and Protection, as understood in Great Britain, cannot be applied to a young coun- try like Canada. It is out of the question to suppose that a policy productive of good in one country must necessarily be good for auother. I:don’t think | shall be gomg far out of my way to give my hon. friend from Halifax an authority for which he must have great respect. { quote from the speech of the hon. the Premier, delivered at Sarnia last year. He said :—

‘* When people acevse me of being a free

trader, they accuse me of something that does not properly belong to the discussion of this question. We do not discuss free trade or protection at all because free trade is impossible in this country. We have to diseuss a Customs system which puts free trade out of the question altogether; and, in the abstract, Sir Johu McDonald is as much a free trader asl am. It is true the great party I lead contains a larger number of free traders than our opponents, thongh of course every rule has its exception. Tiere are two principles of action in rela- tibn to trade which are to be considered, The one, absolute free trade; the other, absolute protection. I have always as- sumed that, in this country, neither of these principles is applicable to our circumstances, and, as I stated in 1874, the question is re- moved from the sphere of political discus- sion, because not even the most extreme protectionist has adopted the idea that we are to lose all our revenue for the purpose of preventing anyone cominy here to sell his wares.”’ That is about my opinion with regard to free trade and protection in this coun cy. Tt has been used as a bugbear to frighten people. {will now quote an authority who is considered a very big one on questions of political economy. 1 read from Lange’s Political Economy : ?

So I say with regard to this Dominion, ib | Is NECESSARY THAT THE FLAGGING INDUS- | TRIES OF THIS COUNTRY SHOULD BE PRE die gis ED IN TIMES OF DEPRESSION LIKE THIS BY rig GOVERNMENT, WHICH ALL LOOK UPON AS PATERNAL One interest, at all events- | the mining interest—is prostrate. Che |

: : : . Se 812,000,000 invested in the minds of Neva) ‘Scotia are almost completely idle.

We saw industries of |

the United States were in a te dition, but they weve protected and they: revived. What do we find in Canada / 1 bie | very coul used ow the Lint ycolonial to heat the |

r « - *s ; ¢ es CONS iS hbrowgne from the United States.

Hon. Mr. Power—That is because we have no anthracite. Hon. Mr. Howlan—For years we used

none in the Maritime Provinces. In the time of Joseph Howe we used our own coal. The United States, so far as manufactures are concerned, is a mew country, and you find them protected there. Go back to England, and you will find it was one ot the strongest protectionist countries in the world for a long period of years. After a time she became a free trade country. Why? Because she had brought her aiweni- factures to sel perfection they could j

and, hig sick 3, she had very

compete wath all tie world, large commerce. The neighboring country was free trade in the early history of the colonies; but from the time it became 1 dependent, it has protected its manufac- tures. I was surprised to find recently that silk is now very largely manufactured in the United States. Last year 108 firins were engaged in the industry, the capital invest- ed in it was $14,000,000, and the value of the silks produced was very great. We have in this country, if I may be allowed to use the expression, a good milking cow, if we only mik her. ffere,in the neigh- borhood of Ottawa, there are inex- haustible mines of the very best iron ore, yet our iron is manufactured in the United States and other countries, instead of in the Dominion. Without being either a protec- tionist ora free trader, | THINK THE IN- DUSTRIES OF THIS COUNTRY COULD BE AIDED BY ADJUSTING THE TARIFF TO FOST- FR rvem. After all,that is what is required of the Government. What we want is, not free trade or protecttion, but a policy that will bring about the best results in deve- loping our industries without interfering with the revenue. Our coal interests pos- sess more importance than the mere in- trinsic value of the coal produced. In the Legislature of Massachusetts there is a picture of a codfish over the Speaker's chair, to show what was the foundation of the early prosperity of that colony. Amster- dam is built on herring bones. So it is with our coal interest-—it is a school of in- dustry. Like the fisheries of the Gulf, it is a training school for men. It is the strongest arm which assists the body poli- tic in working out the destines of the coun- try through its own resources. In 1876 there were 275,748 tons of coal mined in Nova Scotia, and distributed as follows :—

Ontario and Quebec ; 84,77

New Brunswick. . : ; 6,800 Prince Edward Island d 40,000 Nova Scotia : J 119,000 Newfoundland ; ‘ : 1,868 United States . ; ‘ , 18,987

Now it wiil be seen that the little Pro- vince of Prince Edward {sland consumed ; more of the product of the mines of the Maritime Provinces than did the United States. Those who have been acquainted with that trade will remember the time when 200 sail of vessels were continually en- gaged in carrying coal between the colonies and the United States. This isentirely done done away with “now, and while the Gov- ernment think nothing of spending $280,000 on the fort Francis Lock, which they acknow- ledge to be a blunde-, they vefuse to foster this important in sstry’ If the money; they have throwa away on that work had been used to promote the coal trade of Nova Scotia, the country would have received some substantial return for it. I know it will be said, ‘‘ You cannot put a duty of 50 cents per ton on coal, because the people of Ontario will demand a similar duty on flour.” Let us see how the

ecount stands ; In 1855-6 Nova Scotia im- ported from the old Province of Canada $504,000 worth; in 1876 Nova Scotia con- sumed $1,305,000 worth of the products of Ontario and Quebec. In return, Ontario and Quebee consumed only 84,000 tons of Nova Scotia coal. 1 wonld like to call at- tention to a statement of the trade between this country and Great Britain, to show where the channels of trade are. In 1872-3 the imports from Great Britain were $62,- 000,000; in 1876-7 they had fallen to $40,- 090,030, showing a decrease of $22,000,000. Now, let us look at the trade between this country and the United States. In 1872-5 we imported from the United States $35,- 090,000; in 1876-7, $51,000,000, showing an increase of $16,000,000. And while our imports from that country have been increas- ing, our exports to them have been diminish- ing, SHOWING CLEARLY THERE IS SOMETHING MATERIALLY WRONG SO FAR AS THE MERCANTILE AND iNTERNAL NATIONAL INTERESTS OF THISCOUNTRY ARE CONCERNED. If WE ARE GOING TO BUILD UPA NATION HERE, WE MUST TAKE A NATIONAL WAY OF DOING IT.”

We make no apology for asking the Tele- graph to copy this extract from Senator Howlan’s speech. for the opinions of “a strong and able man” are worthy of publi- cation in its columns. We know that the Telegraph is fighting this battle on the prin- | ciples of fair play; and when we assure it )on the best of all authority that Senator Howlan has ‘ not changed his views,” the Telegraph will not, we feel sure, hesitate to
