The Mails.

Tue mail arrangement is well enough. Under it we have a mail daily from ail | parts of the world. Some persons, | including the Patriot, grumble because | there is not a steamer runving daily | between Charlottetown aud Pictou. But we Ought to remember that Georgetown aud the Eastern end of the Island has some claims in the matter olf munication with the mainland, and that} it is stipulated in the contract that the| steamers shall call at Georgetown. Moreover, there is a mail from Halifax every day, except the day on which the steamer goes to Georgetown; and then it arrives here, by way of Georgetown, early on the following forenoon. As to the arrangement, we repeat, it's as good as we have a right to expect under exist ing circumstances.

But we have a which may, should, must, no doubt, will be remedied. arrangement, the mails, by way of Summerside, ought to arrive in Char lottetown every evening at two minutes pasteight o'clock. But, so far, this season they have not been, on any day, less than two hours later!

The Examiner has made some in- quiries ; and finds that the late arrivals are not due to the slowness of the trains | or to the slackness of the Post Off ice | oflicials.

Shall we be forced to extend the en | quiry further?

I manage allthe nursery accounts aud everything myself, which gives me plenty to do, es everything increases, and on account of the house we must live very economically for those next years,”

Reciprecal Trade, A MOVEMBNT IN CONGRESS LOOKING TO RECIPROCITY— CANADA UNDER THE OLD

rRBEATY.

Phe sub-committee of Congress on Foreign Affairs Committee, charged with the con sideration of Representative Maybury’s resolution, which requests t the President to

enter into negotiations with Great Britain for a renewal of the Canadian resiprociiy treaty of 1854, have agreed upon a report.

Che sub-committee consists of Mr. Belmont (Dem. N. Y.) and Mr. Hitt (Rep. LL) The Committee recommend, een report that shi Executive see fit to

as has | ’) > mia Lue positions for freer COMMERCIAL INTERCOURSE WITH CANADA, be received with who is charged with report, said in arding it :—‘* We

wotiations would favour. Mr. Hitt,

the preparation of the answer tv an Inquiry reg have before us a joint resolution requesting the president to negotiate with Great Brit- ain for the renewal of the treaty of 1854 that precise instrument—- not to discuss the relations of the two countries with a view ‘o modifying them in the most advantage- ous manner to both under their present treaty-m: king power 18 constitution does not intend that the legisia- ture should take the initiative in nego- tiations, certainly not so far as to prescribe in advance the precise terms on our side. Negotiations are bargaining, each party making the best terms possible, and it 1s better not to try to control the matter whelly by congress. The methods are dif ferent. For instance, the duty on jumber would be discussed her: urt of the tariff sy stem to be maintained or lowered in view of that trade only; : ip a neg rotiation, if we » decide to admit lumber, then, for whatever we yield to the pressure of Cana- dians eager for admission to our markets, extensive advantages in the admission of our manufactures to their markets.

THE TREATY OF 1864

one-sided, after twelve years’ trial, and was abrogated by us, much against the wish of Canada. The articles admitted by it free, reciprocally, were what Canada had to sell—products of the farm, forest and mines—but it ex cluded our own manufactures. Its renewal would give them a market, free of duty, of 56,000,000 people for almost everything they had to sell, and only give us a market of 4,500,000 of people for our agricultural products Long before the treaty was terminated in 1866, it was felt oppressive to our farming interests in places near the border. It tasted so long partly on account lof the liberal sentiment of our people

in all that relates to extending com- merce. During the war the feeling cooled.

We were pressed for revenue. We wanted to render our country more independent in its internal resources. Then the treaty was subjected to colder scrutiny as affecting busimess. Under it $229,000,000 worth of Canada’s products had come into our market without paying duty, while scarce more than half that had been sold by us to Canada free of their tariff. The list of articles passing free had been arranged so that it worked unequally. That treaty, if renewed, would probably be as unsatis- factory asever. Butthere may be some- thing better done. The changes of eighteen years have been immense in both countries. The progress in wealth, numbers, activity, and especially in manufactures and inter-

course by railway and water, has been on a!

vast scale, and the ARTIFICIAL RESTRICTIONS OF TARIFF

on a line thousands of miles long have been been more eensibly felt. There are great and manifest inducements to both countries to remove them altogether, or at least read- just them on fair terms mutually beneficial. The complete and unimpeded flow of busi- ness in both directions by a commercial union would be of inestimable benefit, stimulating industries, promoting prosper- ity end friendly feeling, as it produces common interests, and guaranteeing peace. It would tend by the inevitable legic of interest to similar treaties with other neigh- bors. We have just made one with Mexico and are negotiating one with Spain to cover Cuban commerce. A commercial union with Canada would erase the imaginary barrier to traffic that stretches clear across the continent on our northern line, giving as absolute free- dom of trade with the people of Nova Scotia, Canada, Manitoba and British Col- umbia as now exists between the states. ‘Do I think there is any chance of its re- alization 7’? Well, Professor Goldwin Smith, who was here 2 a few days ago, assur- ‘ed me that there was a deep and wide- spread feelin in favour of commercial uni mn thi: ugh except the officia is, who, of course, cling to the present system by which they | live, ‘and he said discussion would rapidiy increase it. Manitoba is eager for free trade with Chicago. SIK CHARLES TUPPER

recently came here from Ottawa under offi- cial instructions to broach the question of

present it there and urge negotiotions John Macdonald said es much as that Can- ada was ready to remove the duty on the leading products in trade. whenever we would reciprocate. The English govern- ment will not readily assent. The British West Indian sugar traders, learning of our recent agreem vent with Spain, lightening the burdeus on our pro ducts going to Cuba,
