MR. POPE ON RECIPROCITY.
Wer warn the people of Prince Edward against paying any attention whatever to the loud-voiced Grits on this Island who shout * Free Trade." The ery is as false, dishonest and hypocritical as ‘ Purity.’ “ Economy,” ‘ Keform’’ and é‘ Elevation of the Standard;” and, if the electors are won over by it, will as surely result ina rise of the tariff to 20 or 25 per cent. as those we have have mentioned resulted in corruption, increased taxation, increased expenditure, jobbery and abase- ment of political morals.
With economy on their lips, the clear Grits raised the tariff two-and-a-hali per cent;, placed a tax upon many articles pres |
hollow,
increased the public expenditure, and plunged the country into debt thirty-one miilions of dollars. Before the echo of “ purity "—sang in chorus—resounded o’er
the land, upwards of thirty Grits—loudest in the song—had fallen, smirched and bruised, before the just sentence of the judge—* disqualified by reason of bribery and corruption.’”’ Under the auspices of «“ Reform ” the country has been horrified by
The Goderich Harbor Job,
‘The Steel Rail Job,
he Fort Francis Lock Job,
the Kaministiquia Job,
The Foster Job,
The Anglin Job,
The Vail-Jones Job.
lhe Norris Job, and many other jobs; by which the sup- porters of ‘Reform’ gained thousands while the country lost millions of dollars. And by way of elevating the standard of political morality, they last year permitted the Speaker of the Commons—who by their connivance had violated the law—had forteited his right to sit in the House at all—-to occupy the highest and most honor- able seat.
They have been false to every pledge and recreant to every principle. They cried purity while they steeped their hands in corruption; they cried “ economy” and plunged headlong into 4 career of unpre- cedented extravagance; they cried ‘‘ Re form,’? and jobbery of the worst kind marks the path they have trodden; they cried *‘ elevate the standard,” and the law was openly violated and unblushingly de- fied, in order that representatives of ‘* purity ’’ might go unpunished,
Can we, then, believe that they will be true to Free Trade? We say no. But even if we could believe that, false to everything else, they would also be false to their past history, and in this instance stand true,—still, we say, they should be hurled from pla e and power. Their crimes are rank and emell to heaven. They should, as they will, experience the vengeance of the people they have de- ceived and defrauded. And if they were as pure and good as even the Premier would have us believe, they should not be trusted; for they have shown themselves to be utterly incompetent to deal with the question of trade. It was only the other day that the politico-economist of the Govern, ment proved to his own satisfaction, and apparently tothe satisfaction of the Pre~ mier, that Reciprocal Free Trade with the United States was no benefit to Canada, Need we say more? When the Govern- ment is made up of dreamers of about the same order of ability as the impracticable editor of the /'atriot, is it worthy the eon- fidence of the people of Canada on the important and difficult and intensly prac- tical question of our trade relations? We siy NO, Let us stick {» Pope and strive to obtain “ RecrprocaL Free Trape.”

Councillor Byrne, after a short speech with regard to the introduction of the “new system ’”’ of working the civic mat- ters, the competency of the present clerks, etc., moved the following resoyution ;

With the view of diminishing the loss of life annually occurring from drowning, and which, according to the recent returns of the Registrar General, has increased bes tween 3) and 4) per cent. during the past year, as compared with corresponding peri- ods of the present year, the Koyal Humane Society has issued the following important advice to bathers :—
** Avoid bathing within two hours after a meal, or when exhausted by fatigue or from any other cause, or when the body is cooling after perspiration, and avoid bath- ing altogether in the open air, if, after be- ing a short time in the water, there is a sense of chilliness with numbness of the hands and feet, but bathe when the body is Warm, providing no time is lost in get- ting into the water. Avoid chilling the body by sitting or standing undressed on the banks or in boats after having been in the water, but leave the water immedi. ately there is the slightest feeling of chil. liness. The vigorous and strong may bathe early inthe morning on an empty stomach, but the young and those who are weak had better bathe two or three hours after a meal; the best time for such is from two to three hours after breakfast. Those who are subject to attacks of giddiness or faintness, and who suffer from palpitation and other sense of discomfort at the heart, should not bathe without first consulting their medical adviser.’’

ANGLO-AMERICAN CABLE COMs PANY,
At the ordinary genera! half-yearly meets ing of the proprietors of the Anglo-Ameri- can Teiegraph Company ; Limited), held at the National Safe Deposit Company’s building, Queen Victoria street, Viscount Monck presiding, the report, which was taken as read, showed thut the total re- ceipts fromthe Ist January to the 30th June, IS77, including balance of £22,458 3sr carried over from the last account, amounted to £216,466 6s. 6d. The total expense of the half-year, including income tax and repair of cables, as shown by the revenue account, were £37501 4s 8d, he directors, before declaring the net profits, has set apart thesum of £20,000 and £22,458 3s represented by cable in stock to the renewal fund, leaving a bal. ance of £106,607 17s. 10d., out of which one quarterly interium dividend, at the rate of 2 percent. per annum, free of ins come tax, was paid on the Ist of May, 1877 absorbing £35,0.0, leaving a balance of £71,506 163 10d, from which a second quar terly dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, was paid on the first of August, 1877, leaving a balance of £1,607, lls. 10d. The Chairman in moving the adoption of the report,, said that the account showed a favourable exhibit of busi- ness, combined with economy. fhe diminution in the receipts was consid< erable, but they had been enabled, with- out diminishing the reserve fund, to pay nearly the same dividend as hitherto. With regard to their expenses, they generally took their annual amount for all the work- ing expenses at £80,000, but for the half year under consideration the expenses only amounted to £35,387, including £2,325 for repairs to cables. Ha could not hold out any hopes of any reduction with respect to the staff, whigh was now brought down to as low a point as was consistent with the efficient transaction of business, and he was assured that they would all feel that length of service, combined with attention to their duties on the part of the staff, would call rather for an increase in the way of salaries than otherwise. An intere esting topic to be dealt with was that of the expedition which had been despatched for the purpose of repairing the cables laid
It was moved by Councillor Morris,—
That His Worship the Mayor be authors ized to pay Mr, Curran for the plank sup. plied, when he produced the Surveyor’s certificate and had his bill certified by the Finance Committee—Cerried.
