Mercier’s Demand and the * Globe's” Comments.

Mr. Mercrer’s modest demand that the Federal Government shall wipe out the debt of Quebec, amounting to $20,000,000, has excited a great deal of indignaut com- ment and protest on the part of the press of Canada. This is natural and right. Unless Mr. Mercier can “demonstrate that it is founded in justice, his demand ought, certainly, to be unitedly resisted; for not only is the amount considerable, but the principle involved is of vital importance to Canada. lf Pro- vincial Government may raid upon the Dominion Treasury whenever its burden of debt is to be removed, the confidence which the various Provinces have in each other must soon be destroyed and the continued exist- ence of the Federation readered impossible. If, on the other hand, Quebec, or Prince Edward Island, or any other Province, has an equitable claim upon the Federa- the credit of the Federa- tion and the continued of the Federation require a prompt enquiry into the basis of theclaim and its recognition as soon as the grounds are These conclusiovs are

established. 80 reasonable that they will be admitted by all.

But we object to the Toronto Globe's sneer about the ‘“‘ chronic impecuniosity of the smaller Provinces.”” We object also to the Globe's statement, in respect to these Provinces, that ‘* amidst a lavish abundance of natural wealth, the people in some parts are too poor to support themselves.” It is not true, either, that ‘‘all the smaller Provinces are impoverished by These erroneous to the argu-

the restriction of trade.” statements are unnecessary ment upon Mr. Mercier’s demand

Everyone knows that the people of these smaller provinces are not so poor now as they were twelve years ago, when our fiscal laws were more in accord with the ideas of the chief organ of the Opposition True it is, as the Globe maintains, the balance of trade is, uader the present ar- largely in favor of the Upper Provinces. It has been estimated by one of our bankers that a million of dollars in cash went up to Ontario from Prince Edward Island last year for the purchase of agricultural machinery. But the people of Prince Edward Island continue to prosper,—perhaps quite as much as if they dealt inthe United States instead of in Ontario. If as the Globe maintains the N. P. prevents them from purchasing where they covii purchase to the best advantage, the prohibitive duties ‘imposed by the States preventing them from selling where they can sell to the best advantage,— and until they sell in the States, they prefer tu buy in their own country, even though the balance of trade is, as the Globe points out, against them. hard to see how this fact strengthens the Globe's contention that ** Better Terms” should not be given the “smaller provinces.”

The Globe's object is, indeed, to do away, altogether, the system of Provincial subsidies, and leave the people of the re- spective Provinces, as of the respective States adjoining, to maintain their Local Governments by means of direct taxa- tion. The Globe says :

rangement,

can

Sut it is

** The sheet-anchor of the Federal system in the United States is the principle of State re- sponsibility for State expenditure. So caye- fully is this provision guarded that a recent project for dividing the Federal surplus amongst the Ntate Governments was opposed chiefly on the ground that it might lead the States to relinguish the right and duty of self-taxation. We too must come to that if we mean to keep the Dominion together.”

The meaning of this paragraph is evident. Whether or not the people of the smaller Provinces are prepared to support the Op- position Party in an attempt to abolish Provincial subsidies is another question.

But the Globe and its nonsense apart,— the demand of the Premier of Quebec will, we presume, be submiited to Par- liament and considered in the spirit of justice and gvodwill. Perhaps the best way to deal with it will be to refer it to an independent financial cormision em- powered to enquire into the claims of all the Provinces,and to readjust the financial | part of the Confederation scheme on the | basis of simple equity.

'

—The sum realized at a tea held at Kin- kora, a fcw days ago, was $900, and at the! t * meeting held in Bloomfield on Tuesday, ; $1,100. The people of these sections of | the coun ry are, evidently, not, as the Tor- |

onto Globe says, **too poor to support them- | elves.” '

K, D. O. Cures Dyspepsia, _|

The Hon. GC. H. Tupper’s forcible pro

test in respect to the enfurcoment of the Newfoundiand Bait Act against British and Canadian fishermen, has been published, The minister called; attention to the solemn assurance given by the government of New- foundland, of the{most definite and positive character, to the effect that it was not in- tended to enforce this act against Canadian and British vessels, and that it would not be so enforced. It was, therefore, he says, with surprise that he learned that the pro- visions of the act were being enforced against Canadian and British vessels, as well as against those of foreign countries, and he trusted when the attention of the present administration of the government of Newfoundland was called to the agree- ment of its predecessorsia office, that, tu aceordance with that understanding, the provisions of the act will no longer be en- foreed against British or Canadian vessels. Iteference is made to the friendly co-oper- a‘ion which has hitherto existed between th» Covernments of Canada and Newfound- land in connection with their respective fishery and commercial iaterests. The fishing vessels of Newfoundland are now and have always been permitted to enjoy the inshore fisheries, and port privileges of Canada in common with those of Canada, and while light dues, harbor dues and piotage dues are exacted by the Govern- ment of Newfoundland from Canadian fish- ing craft, there are no corresponding taxes paid by vessels of Newfoundland to the Dominion. Canada at present maintains free of ail charges on shipping five light and four fog signals on the coast of New- founclind and by liberal subventions serves many parts im Newfoundland by a mait and freight packet. The bank fishery being in an advanced stage, Mr. Tupper re- commended that the government of New- foundland be directly advised that the Canadian government contidertly expect that on a reconsideration of the facts con- nected with this legislation and of the re- lations hitherto existing between Canada and Newfoundland, the administration of the colony will suspend the operation of the act sofaras it affects Canadian and British vessels. In conclusion, Mr, Tupper recommended that the secretary of state for the colonies be informed that the Can- adian government earnestly desired the im- ediate co-operation of the imperial author- ities in preventing serious loss and damage being inflicted upon so mary of her majesty’s subjects as are interested in the important inaustry of the bank fishing.

Bloomfield Tea.

Tue grand Western Tea held at Bloom- field on Tuesday last, was,Swithout doubt, the most successful excursion and gathering of the season. Bloomfield is beautifully and centrally lucated, and the grounds were the most beautiful ot the locality. Situated tight at the station, the artistically-arrang- ‘ed tents with their profusion of bunting flanked on all sides by the green forest, attracted and cheered the visitor. The hand of the master could be seen in the preparations, and, as a consequence, all felt assured of the best entertainment and re- freshment such occasions affurd. At an early hour excursionists began to arrive by the Eastern and Western trains, and when the bel! announced the time for tea an im- mense number of people were on the grounds. It is needless tw say that the tables groaned under their load of deli- cacies, the numerous and beautiful centre cakes reminding one of the distant towers of an eastern city. A ladies and a general saloon stocked with all the most tempting drinks (all scrupulously temperate) fruits and ~sweetmeats, and attended by gentie- manly waiters, raked ina rich harvest ail day long. Two dancing booths were kept in full blast, the heat in nowise deterring terpsichorian votaries from ‘‘trippiug the

light fantastic toe” to their heari’s content. Then there was Mr. Cos- grove with his wonderful wheel

of fortune, Professor Cushing with his banjo and lime kiln club and another bow]- ing ulley, as well as much other ainusement. The music was furnished by the Tignish Band, and splendid music it was, and highly creditabe to the young members, who have had but afew months practice. A Legislative Council Election was held in one of the booths, and a large number of votes polled, the Government candidate, Mr. Blanchard,leading by a good majurity. The cake sale was in the hands of Hon. Mr. Bentley, Mr. Jos. Gorman, Mr. Alex. Mcleod, and the inimitable Mr. Gus. Mctnnis, the latter of whom wasareal enter- tainment in himself. Good prices were in every case realized. The principal poli- ticians (Conservative and Libera!) of Prince County, as well as nearly all her prominent citizens attended. On all sides was heard praise of the management of the tea, the beauty of the grounds and above all! the order; it being the opinion of all that without doubt tbis was the quietest big tea ever held in the province. The sum_rea- lized, was, we are glad to learn, over $1100 —a splendid and surprising amount for a temperance tea. We congratulate Father Burke and the parishioners of St. Mark’s on the success and credit of the gathering.

Battalion Drill at the Park.

At seven o'clock l»st evening the members of the two city batteries of Artillery and the Engineer Corps assembled at the Drill Shed, and, half an hour later, headed by the Arrillery Band, they marched to Vic- toria Park where they were put through battalion drill by Lieut.-Col. Moore. The men were first drawn up in line, in which position they went through the manual and firing exercises. Then they were placed in quarter column, and marched past in quick time and at the double. After the march past the battalion was again drawn up in line and the men were put through a series of manoeuvres, closing with review order, after which they returned to the Drill Shed where they were highly compli- mented by Lieut.-Col. Moore on the

Victoria Park,

proticiency they displayed in their first batialion drill this season. The attendance of rank and file was good, and the large number of spectators present showed the great interest the people generally take in our citizen-soldiers. The appearance of the men on parade and at drill was exeel- lent. Everything looked clean and neat, and the new unifurms appeared to great advantage. The music furnished by the Artiliery band was splendid. Tue Ex- AMESER trusts that 1t will not be long be- fore our citizens will have auother oppor-

tunity of witnessing battalion drill at
