Their me- eyanical pursuits, too, have been on a larger and more productive seale than heretofore. The steam factories of the Island have been multiplied and enlarged; and their owners have been ensbled, for the first time, to compete on equal terms with the manufucturers of the neighbouring Pro- vinees, Shipbuilding has been carried on to an extent never exceeded except in the course of one previous year. Trade has been moderately active, imports have been large, prices good,—merehants and trade- ers generally successful To use un oft- repeated phrase, “the country has been prosperous’’:—and the people should re- member to be thankful for 1874.

Some means of arriving at 1 knowledge ef the vital statistics of the Province is also required, and should be provided without delay. As in the registration of voters, Prince Edward Island is lament- ably behind the age respecting the regis- tration of births, marriages, dnd deaths. The road system of the l’rovince needs reformation—and should receive the at- tention of our representatives this year. The ‘ Land Question’ must again receive public attention. Owing to lack of infor- mation from Ottawa, the « Land Purchase Bill, 1874,’ we are un. able toe indicate the course which, in our

opinion, ought to be pursued respecting it.

The introduction of a plentiful supply of pure water, together with a system of sewerage, will, we trust, receive the atten- tion of the people of Charlottetown. We also hope that some person or persons will have enterprise enough to establish a first- class hotel in the city.

Concerning* the industrial pursuits of the people, we trust that the improve ments and reforms which have gradually been marching on the path of progress, may go forward with unabated vigor during the year 1875, machinery has, of late years, greatly aid- ed their efforts ; and it isto be hoped that every artificial help, which can possibly be

btaimed. will be introduced this year.

Facilities, which have never Lefore been enjoyed, will contribute to their assist- ance and prosperity.

Writes :—

‘In the commencement of his report, Mr. Brydges says: ‘“‘ The General Superintendent has full charge of everything connected with therailway, His orders and directions are eupreme, and all departments and all officers have to take his instructions, and apply to him for orders upon all points.

‘If it be lrue that I have “ supreme” au- thority, then 1 atonee admit that I am altc- gether responsible and to blame for the ir- regularities and deficient supervision, found on the occasion of the visit of Mr. Brydges : but if, as is well known, 1 have been obliged to accept persons who were nominated or aps pointed only for political considerations, and with whom I was obliged to do the best I could, however incompetent, without the au- thority to dismiss them, then it is quite ob~ vious that no such responsibility can allach lo me, excepl as a maller of theory.

‘It may be asked, Why did you not com plain? To this I reply, that as official com- munications might prove a seurce of em- barrassment, an Ofliceris generally expected tomake report only when called for, and ins asmuch, as information on any such subject has not been asked, I did not deem it to be my duty to give it.

‘In 1869, when, in the performance of my duty, lundertook, by directions of the then Minister of Public Works, to revise the man- agement of the Nova Scotia Railway and changed or dismissed a gma]! portion of the staff whom | could not utilize, the outery Was so great, that I was soon given to under- stand that the claims of ‘old public servants” however ineflicient, where above every other censideration and that if I wished to get along peaceably, /mustat least let political considerations have their way. To such an extent has this political system been carried, that however satisfied | might be of an officer's inefficiency and want of qualifications for the position he held, 1 could not get rid of him wilhout being charged with having some pre- judice against him.

“In fact, it has been and still is the custom, for men to have political patrons, who are ready to become their champions upon all occasions.

“The effect of this system has become so injurious, that it has been difficult, except under very exceptional circumstances, to get any person having charge ofa department or hranch of the service, to report subordinates for incapacity, or indeed ordinary offences of any kind, lest the fact that he did so would re-act politically upon himself,

“The forgoing facts, will I think conclus sively show, that the position of General Sup- erintendant of che Intercolonial Rai:way, has not been one of supreme authority but that on the contrary the position has been fettered.”

themselves as ‘impressed with the idea

that while a fair Treaty of Reciprocity be- tween Canada and the United States would be desirable in the interests of both

leountries; yet are convinced that the Treaty as now drawn up requires several modifications, to some of which your Com- mittee will refer in detail :

such concession, they are of opinion that | it should be conditional on receiving a fair equivalent, including the admission of Cans

tonnage of the United States. ’ With reference to the “ proposed free 'exchange of produce and manufactured

goods between the United States and Can-

ada, the committee are of opinion that | whereas tke tariff of the United States on |

the articles enumerated in the schedules A B and G, annexed to article 4, is more than twice the rate of the tariil of Canada,

and that a reduction of one-third of the rates of tariff in eas country yearly tor the years ending June 30th, 1877, would still

Your committee are of opinion that the articles which it is intended shall be admitted free should be specially named,and should include articles of lumber prepared by sawing or hewing planing or shaving, otherwise unmanufac. tured , and, further, that the Treaty should provide for a Joint Commission to which might be referred all disputes in regard to the articles deemed to be freely exchanged Your

| facturing industries of Canada ; and that

however such exchange might profit the | anufactures of England and the United | States, it would not, in present circum« |

stances, be generally desired by the manus facturers of Canada, and would be strongly opposed by many of them. Your com- mittee, in -arriving at this conclusion, re- gard themselves as speaking in the inter- est of the consumers as well as of the pro- ducers, any check given to the manufacturing industries of Canada would tend to lessen the popula- tion, driving them into the more favored manufacturing country, and would also tendto check the home demand for our staples, such as the products of the field mine, forest, etc.. Your committee would be glad to find that the Government and | Parliament of the Dominion would unders | take to construct and enlarge any canals | which the finances of the country would | Warrant and our trade require; but they | are of opinion that it would be unwise to | guarantee to any foreign power the con. | struction of any Canadian public works of a definite magnitude, and to be finished in a limited time, the more so, as physical and financial causes might prevent the carrying out of such guarantee, and so tend to ins ternational complications; but should any stipulations be mutually agreed upon for the enlargement of such canals as mention< ed in the proposed Treaty, or the construc- tion of new ones, your committee are of Opinion that the Government of the United States should, in the first instance, place themselves in a position towecure to the Dominion the use of the other canals re- the States of New York and Michigan, and also the free navigation of

the free navigation of the Hudson river should be secured to British subjects in return for privileges obviously reciprocal. On consideration of article 9, your com- mittee are of opinion that, while the pro- visions are liberal, it should be borne in mind that Canada has anticipated the United States in admitting the ships of that country to registry in Canada, and that the right to register Canadian built ships in the United States would be bene- fical to the citizens of that country, but, at the same time, is not regarded as such a boon to Canadians as to call for further concession on their part. Viewing the Treaty as a whole, your committee have arrived at the following conclusions :—

Ist. That the free exchange of natural productions would be about equally advan- tageous to the United States and Canada, In this connection, attention is directed to the fact that Canada now admits many of the products of the United States free of duty, including coal, breadstuffs and differ- ent kinds of lumber; and also admits vessels, built in the United States, to Canadian registry.

2nd. That of the maritime rights, which in the Treaty are proposed to be exchangs ed, the greater in cost and value are those to be conceded by Canada.

Srd, That it follows that some substan- tial equivalent should be given by the United States for the Canadian Fisheries and for the admission of the manufactured goods of the United States to Canada, both of which features of the Treaty have been made at the urgent instance of the United States, and that those circumstances go, as already stated, to enforce the reasons ableness of the demand of Canada to be

admitted to the “tlantic and Pacific coast- ing trade.

RETROSPECTIVE.

( W ritte a for the Examiner.)

How vil in stilling city ways,

Come thoughts ef long departed days ; — Far from the garnered past,

When natuce in her kindliest mood

Swayed all the heart and life imbued With joys to deep too last ;—

Far from the city’s anxious throng,

Where palsied pleasures lure along Or want and woe destroy,—

In country glades and pastures fair The happy hours, unmarked by care Flew,—gilt with nature’s joy. And,as I dream, with vain regret, Memories of old come trooping yet,

And scenes more blest recall. The spirit wings its backward flight Into the silences of night

And lifts the folded pall.

The eye, in vision quickened, sees The winding road, the tall fir trees, In twilight shadows stiil— The darkened fields, the murmuring stream The cottage windows lonely gleam Dim on the distant hill. Such scenes shall live when joys decay— Fast fleeting as the culphins play— Untixed as ocean foam ; And, oftas memory tells her store, Return, thoughon an alien shore Our distant feet may roam. For kindled feelings can bestow Odors which make the ashes glow And all the past embalm ;— Like some rare spice whose fragrant breath Can stay the grace of jife in death And fix the fleeting charm.

ALASKA FOR THE ICRLANDERS. — A com- mittee of the Icelanders report that Alaska suits them exactly; that it is good for fish. ing, and not bad for agriculture ; that the winter only extend from the middle of Nox vember to March, and they recommend immigration to that quarter. There is no accounting for tastes, but we fear the lce« landers will make a mistake if they pass by Newfoundland, so near their country, and overlook the great Canadian North- western country.

There came up in England the other day a case in which the enforcement of the law for compulsory education would have cons demned a family to starvation. Louisa Maylon, widow, the only support of four small children, nearly in a state of starva- tion, goes out to day's work when she can get it and leaves her oldest child,a boy aged nine, to take care of the others, and the school authorities brought her up to com~ pel her to send this boy to school, though it she did this she could not go out to the little work she is able to get.
