CHAPTER XXXIX. (Continued )

‘Tt will be soon accomplished,” answered Cleveland. ‘‘Come hither; what do you take yon large square-rigged vessel for, that

east, aud opening the Bay of Stromness ?” ‘* Why, 1 can’t make her well out,” said Bunce, ‘‘ but yonder is old Goffe, takes her

slip cable, and stand out to her.”

‘* Instead of running out the shoal water, which was his only safety,” said Cleveland.— ‘““The fool! the dotard! .the drivelling, | drunken, idiot?—he will get ris flip hot! enough ; for yonder is the ene she | hoists her colorsand ‘fires a broadside! and there will soon be an end of the Fortune’s Favorite ! I only hope they will fight her to the last plank. The Boatswain used to be stanch enough, and so is Goffe, though an incarnate | demonu,—Now she shoots away, with all the sail she can spread, and that shews some sense.”

‘* Up goes the Jolly Hodge, the old black flag, with the death’s head and_hour-glass, and that shews some spunk,” added his comrade,

‘“‘ The hour-glass is turned for us, Jack, for this bout—our sand is running fast,— Fire away yet, my roving lads! The deep sea or the blue sky, rather than a rope and a yard-arm.”

There is a moment of anxicus and dead silence ; the sloop, though hard pressed main- taining stilla running fight, and the frigate continuing in full chase, but scarce returning ashot. At iength the vessels neared each other, s0 as eee that the man-of-war in- tended to board the sloop, instead of sinking her, probably tosecure the plunder which might be in the pirate vessel.

‘*Now, Goffe—now Boatswain !” exclaimed Cleveland, in an ecstasy of impatience, and as if they could have heard his commands, ‘* stand by sheets and tacks—rake her with a broadside, when you are under her bows, then about ship, and so offon the other tack like a wild-goose. The. sails shiver—the helm’s a-lee— Ah !—deep-sea sink the lubbers they miss stays, and the frigate runs them aboard !”

Accordingly the various maneuvers of the chase had brought them so near, that Cleve- land, with his spy-glass, could see the man- of-war’s-men boarding by the yards and bow- sprits, in irresistible numbers, their maked cutlasses ‘flashing in the sun, when, at that critical moment, both ships were envelopad in acloud of thick black smoke, which suddenly arose on board the captured pirate.

‘* Exeunt omnes,” said Bunce, with clasped hands,

** There went the Fortune’s Favourite, ship

and crew,” said Cleveland, at the same in- stant. But the smoke immediately clearing away, shewed that the damage had only been partial and that, from want of sufficient powder, the pirates had failed in their desper- ate attempt to blow up their vessels with the Halcyon.

Shortly after the action wa: over, Captain Weatherport of the Haleyon sent an officer and a party of marines to the House of Stennis, tojdemand from the little garrison the pirate seaman who were their prisoners, and, in particular, Cleveland and Bunce, who acted as Captain and Lieutenant of the gang.

This was a demand which was not to be resisted, though Magnus Troil could have wished sincerely that the roof under which he lived had been allowed as an asylum at least to Cleveland. But the officer's orders were peremptory; aud he added, it was Captain Weatherport’s intention to land the other prisoners, and send the whole, with a sufficient escort, across the island to Kirkwall, in order to undergo an examination there before the civil authorities, previous to their being sent off to London for trial at the High Court of Admiralty. Magnus could therefore only intercede for good usage to Cleveland, aad that he might not be stripped or plundered, which the officer, struck by his good mien, and compassionating his situation, readily promised. The honest Udaller would have said something in the way of comfort to Cleveland himself, but he could not find words to express it, and only shook his head.

‘Old friend,” said Cleveland, ‘‘ you may have much to complain of—yet you pity in- stead of exulting over nxe—for the sake of you and yours, 1 will never harm human being any more. Take this from me—my last hope, but my last temptation also”—he drew from his bosom a pocket pistel, and gave it to Magnus Troil. ‘‘Remember me to— But no—let every one forget me.—J am your prisoner, sir,” said he to the officer.

** And I also,” said poor Bunce ; and putting on a theatrical countenance, he ranted, with no very perceptible faltering in his tone, the words of Pierre :

* ‘Captain hae should be a gentleman of honov’

A cheap country is not the place for a man to earn a living,” replied the mechanic, So in Canada we have heard a workingman declare that he had found he could always earn a better living when things were dear than when they were cheap, because there

THE NEW POLICY.

ane IT INVOLVES.

‘Speech of Hon. George Foster.

(Hansard Report.)

[CONTINUED. ] The importers from Boston and New York will gain, but what ubout the mer- chants and manuiacturers of Habhifax

| and the Lower Provinces, and what

about the millers and wheat growers in the other Provinces ? I have not the time to carry out this reasoning, but hon, gentle- men can carry it out for themselves, and they will come to the conclusion that in nearly every case every dollar's worth of goods obtained from the United States ia

{the way of an increased home market in

Canada will displace an equal amount which has come generally through Cunadian channels. That is what the apostle of commercial union declares. Mr. Wiman lets out a great deal of the truth, and some- times he lets out the truth where it gets allover. Speaking in Newark N. J., he Says :

“If new markets for relief of over-produc- tion, created by the stimulant of protection, can be made accessible ” —

What does that mean? It means simply that the producing power of the United States is over and above what is necessary to furnish its own market, and can easily have a surplus to send into other countries and other markets. Where would it be sent? Into Canada, says he. To do what? ‘To displace an equal amount now furnished by the woollen and cotton manufacturers of Canada—

—-‘* without disturbing in the slightest the perfect eyuilibrium of existing taxation, clearly it is the duty of the protectionist to secure these markets, not only because of the immediate outlet which they afford, but as an illustration of the benefits of his favorite policy, Further, if these new markets, se- cured by the protectionist without sacrifice, are gotat the expense of a free trade nation, so much the better. This would be one of the results of commercial union. The total trade of Canada, a portion of the British Empire, is about $200,000,000. Two-thirds of it, it is supposed, can be secured by the United States by simply lifting up the Customs line that now runs through the middle of the continent, and stretching it right around the continent. This would not only admit to more than half the continent all American manufacturers, but it would create in their favor, in one part of the British Empire, a discrimination against the manufacturers of another part of the British Empire. Can anything be more attractive to the average American protection- ist than this advantage over the pauper labor of Europe?”

And Mr. Hitt, who has been glorified as one of the joint laborers in this heroic remedy which is to be applied by the hon. gentleman, states this a little more fully. In speaking to western men—and he is a western man—at a great banquet, he de- clared :—

** We in the west. would like you manufac- turers of New England to have access to that great market of Canada. With a Reciprocity Treaty, or, better still, Commercial Union, you willhave the preference over English, French and German goods, and in two years’ time after its adoptian, goods from Yankee manufacturers will be in every retail store from Montreal to Victoria.”

Well, that is perfectly right as a matter to to be striven after by our friends in the United States. Butit remains for us seriously to consider whether it is for our interest, as a country, that we should lay our industries at this particular time, open to that composition. But again he says that it would give us the United States market. Now, that was pretty well ventilated by my colleague last night, and I shall not traverse the ground made by him. LIsimply draw your attention to one of the sportively imaginative statements of the hon. member for South Oxford. He talk- ed about cur railways. _He said we had long lines but they were not carrying much, but just let unrestricted reciprocity come into force, and our railways might carry more to the borders and less to the seaboards, and they would speedily quadruple freight and quadruple their earnings. Well thatisa rosy statement. Did he give one iota of proof which would lead us to believe that this would be the case? Has he not stated to this House as one of the attractive points of his programme that there are large American cities along the border, that our Provinces lie contiguous to the cities. But remark that if this project were carried out, you would only have a constant stream of traffic along our lines of railways from one of these coun- tries into another. To-day, Sir, the great traffic of our railway consists in what it car- ries from points distant far in the west, to points distant far in the east, from one Province to another Pro- vince; by this propositiotion you wouid cut off, to a large extent, that great long line of traffic, you would have a criss cross traffic in which the lines of intercommuni- cation would be changed out of their present course by running between this country and the United States in order to get to these great cities. So much for the rosy idea of quadrupling freights and earn- ings of the railways of this country. With these remarks I leave that branch of my subject, thinking that I have fairly well proved that this remedy which has been proposed isnot the best thing for the people of Canada. There remains one question which I shall state briefly, and that is:

iS THIS A FAVORABLE TIME in which to make a proposition for closer

relations between us and the Uuited States? My hon. friend says yes, it is the happy, happy now! And he goes on to give his reasons why it is the happy now by saying that now is the time when tariff reductions are imminent. How far are tariff reduc- tious imminent, so far as we can see?
