question of reciprocity and failed tol agree. Evidently, from the tone 0f_ the leading. press exponents of the party, they would like to oppose it squarely, if they dared. But repre- sentatives of the people must have some regard for the wishes of their constituents and the people want re- ciprocity. There's the rub.

At present the fate ofthe agree-

ment is uncertain, but should it be ratified, we do not believe any reple- sentative of a constituency east of the Restigouche River who voted against reciprocity at Ottawa could be re-elected at the next election. If any escaped it would be by a very narrow majority, secured in spite of his mistake. lf the Conservative par- ty in Canada desire to extend theirl long sojourn in the cold shades ofi Opposition, they can speedily and cer- tainly attain that end by uniting their forces in opposing the trade agreement. - Yet to this course they are being

urged ,by a number of their newspa- per organs. The Toronto News, for instance, denounces the reciprocity agreement as “an attempt at nation- al suicide" by Canada, a risky and uncertain venture, a blow at Canadi- an prosperity and a danger to this young nation and to the ancient Em- pire of which we form a part. This is partyisrn run mad. In the light of our commercial and political his- tory as in the light of common sense as well such argument and declama- tion is mere silliness.

For forty years the leaders of both

parties in Canada have believed and proclaimed that reciprocal trade, till now unattainable, with our next neighbor, was a thing greatly to be desired. Has it become needless, worthless, ruinous, simply because it is now within our reach? During

Asia, Australia, South America and at the ends of the earth, and now that a greatmarket opens at our very doors we are called upon to re- ject the offer!

Both parties in Canada were agreed

when the Dingley and other subse- quent tariffs were put on at Wash- ington that the shutting out of Can- adian farm, forest, fish and .other na- tural products from the United States was an unfriendly and most injurious act, by which Canada suf- fered severely. And now these wise Conservative editors would have us believe that the removal of these du- ties and the admission of our natur- al products to the American market would be a danger and a calamity! It savors of the silly season when usually intelligent and rational pub- lic writers parade such ridiculous ar- guments. * A

The 'temptation is always before an

Opposition party to.condcmn every- thing that is proposed by the Gov- ernment of the day, assuming, as a matter of course, that the said Gov- ernment is corrupt, foolish and inca- pable of propounding anything that is worthy of acceptance. A prudent leader of a great party should know better than yield to such tempts/tion. All Governments put forward good measures at times and the reciprocal trade agreement should be examined and treated according to its merits. The reciprocity treaty is based on common sense, a f-ree exchange with our nearest and friendly neighbor of much that we 'have to sell for much

that we have to buy.

The Conservative party is capable

of great mistakes, as the history of

the past ten to twenty years abund- antly proves. And it may add an- other, the equivalent of suicide, by now squarely opposing the reciproci- ty agreement.

FREE FISH AND F

Somc controversy having arisen as

'to the terms upon which American fishing vessels will be permitted to fish in Canadian waters, under ‘the reciprocity agreement. The Guardian is asked to state the facts of .the case. It is strange that any misun- derstanding could exist among those who have either read I-Ion. Mr. Field- ing’s speech or the official correspon- dence in relation to the agreement. Hitberto American fishing vessels only obtained licence to fish in Can- adian waters on payment of an an- nual license fee of $1.50 per ton for each vessel. Thus a vessel of 100 tons would pay $150.

This is changed under the recipro-

city agreement to a payment of $1 per vessel, payable by the commander of said vessel or the owner. As we have said, this is made clear alike by the official correspondence in the case and by Hon. Mr. F'ielding‘s speech in the House of Commons on submit- ting the agreement tothat body. In their official communication to Secre- tary Knox, dated at Washington, January 21, Hon. Messrs Fielding and Patterson say : »

“12. The Government of Canada

agree that, until otherwise determin- ed by them, the licenses hitherto is- sued to United States fishing vessels under the provisions of Section 3 of Chapter 47 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, granting to such vessels certain privileges on the Atlantic coast of Canada shall continue to be issued and that the fee to be paid to the Government of Canada for such license by the owner or commander of any such United States vessel shall hereafter bc one dollar per an- num.”

This is clear enough. But if any-

thing more were needed it is suppli-

ed by the answer of Secretarv Knox to the letter of the Canadian Minis- ters and bearing the same date. Sec- retary Knox writes:

“The assurance that you give that

the Dominion Government proposes to require only a nominal fee from the fishing vessels of the United Sta- tes for the privileges in Canadian waters for which heretofore a charge of $1.50 per ton for each vessel has been required is most gratifying.”

For this concession in regard to

fishing privileges in Canadian waters for American fishing vessels, the Can- adian Government loses something in revenue from fishing licenses, while Canadian fishermen gain a. free mar- ket for their fish in the United Sta- tes. The United States will lose a much larger sum by giving up the revenue heretofore got from duties paid on Canadian fish imported to

that country. V

The agreement is a matter of com-

promise on both sides,-a sort of give and take. American fishing ves- sels have all along had access to our waters to catch fish, paying a license fee of $1.50 per ton yearly, while the United States imposed al- most prohibitory duties on our fish. Under the agreement the license fees are cut down to the merely nominal figure of one dollar pcr vessel and our fish are ad- mitted to the American market free of duty. Surely this is a good bar- gain for our fishermen. They get the free market practically for nothing as the small loss in license moneys

falls upon the whole of the people of Canada and the tlshermen’s share of such loss will be too trivial to be

considered.

Queens, The intelligent electors there

Province rather than for themselves

alone. Their responsibility is there- fore proportionately great and should be exercised with the greatest cart and deliberation. Appeals to prejud- ice and passion should be disregard- ed.

The Quin question is whether a

change of Government is desirable at the present juncture or not. The verdict given by the electors will be closely scanned, whether it be given by an increased or a reduced major- ity. or by s reversal of many former majorities. We sincerely hope and trust that no improper influences IHBY be brought to bear on either side to effect the result in any way and that the voting may reflect the honest convictions of an honest, free and independent electorate.

The people of Magdalen Islands,

our next neighbors to the north, are sadly isolated during the long cold winters, with all communication ex- cept by cable, entirely cut off. We in ‘Prince Edward Island, though much better off in that regard, can heartily sympathise with them. It is a matter of satisfaction to learn that the good winter steamer Stanley is to be sent to the Magdalens shortly to give them visible connection with the outside world at this cold and stormy mid-winter season. The ser- vice'will be greatly appreciated by these northern islanders.

There are crimes and criminals of

deepest dye disclosed in the press from day to day, but in all the re- cords of the ages it would- be hard to find anything more fiendish than the deeds of the Russian Dr. Pant- chenko. According to his confession he had murdered more than forty persons by inoculating them secretly with the cholera bacillus. And he did this for hire, his victims being 'a- mong those of wealth or high sta- tion. He professes to have received as much as a quarter of a million dollars in individual cases. The im- agination reels at the thought of the atrocious and more than diabolical crime of this human monster.

Three years ago the "inside" civil

service,-the officials and clerks at Ottawa, of whom there are over two thousand-were ,brought under 'the control of a Civil Service Commis- sion. All new appointments and all promotions are made by this Com- mission, and all political “pull" and patronage, the source of grave abuses in the past, are eliminated so far as these are concerned. It was a great and important reform, and it ought I[to be extended to the outside scr- lvice as well. This was apparently the intention of the Government

far delayed. We trust that the Gov- ernment will take action on this im-

portant matter without further long delay and reform the outside ser. vice as they have reformed the in- side. At present, owing to political influences there are from time to time grave abuses both in appoint-

ments and promotions in the outside

service. These will cease when the

proper and obvious remedy is ap- plied, and this cannot be done 'too soon.
