Extension of the Railway.

AN officer of the Railway Department at Ottawa has been making observations and surveys in view of the proposed extension of the P. E. Island Railway along the front of the town. It is understood that the Department is willing to extend the rail- way to meet the needs of our commerce,- provided that a free grant be made of the right of way. Consequently, owners of wharf property and property bordering on the wharves have now an opportunity to show their public spirit as well as their private enterprise. If the proposed exten- sion be made, it will undoubtedly be a benefit to the city at large, and if the right of way be freely given, the owners of the property involved will be entitled to the thanks of all citizens. But the benefit conferred will not be to the city alone: it will be, in a much greater degree. to the owners of wharf property them- selves; for the value of the property will be materially, enhanced and the continual cost of trucking produce and goods to and from the Station and the wharves will be } stopped, and the cost, in time and moaey,

saved. We hope and trust that the eveut

will prove, beyond a doubt, that we still have men of enterprise and public spirit} in our town. | eee pe i

Communication with the Mainland.

Tas value of manufacturers to a couutry | was, a few days ago, very forcibly ilustrat- ed by a gentleman who was discussing the aa ] f ”

and send

matter whi e travelling on the train.

said he, **1 want a jackknife

to the States for it, the Staies get tlhe money and I get the jackknife ; but if 1 obtain it from a manufacturer here, the | jackknife is here and the money, too. More than that, the money that I send to | the States goes to maintain workmen in the States, who, in their turn, furnish markets for the farmers and profits for the mer- chants of the States ; but the money that I pay tu the home manufacturer goes to the mechanic, the farmer, the laborer and the merchant of this country—goes to build up and enrich this country.” This is the explanation of the matter in a nutshell. Many persons wonder, how itis that Canada is much more pros-

(in opposition)

perous, now that her foreign trade is sub- jected to a comparatively high tariff, than she was in the ante-National Policy days whon it was subjected to a comparatively low tariff. The secret lies here: Canada makes a much larger proportion of the articles that her people need; and her people have the money,too. The money is circulating among her mechanics, her farmers and her merchants,—while an ever increasing volume of profits goes into her banks or is invested in permanent improve- ments, such as mills, factories, railways, warehouses and dwel ings.

But, it may be urged, Prince Elward Island has not manufactures, and never can have them. Why not? Is it hecause her situation is bad? Louk at the map and you shall see that there is nothing in her jocality to prevent her from being the centre of a large manufacturing and mercintile community, stretching away to Newfoundland in the East and to the borlers of Quebec in the West. Raw materials can be brought here as readily as toauy other part of Canada, and we can, in suinmer, ship the finished goods from hence as cheaply and aseasily. Is it because our climate is unfavorable? We know that the climate of Prince Edward Island is peculiarly favorable to the manufacture of linen, cotton, and woollen goods, and not by any means unfavorable to the manufae- ture of either iron or wooden goods. Is it because wecannot get coal and iron? Where can coal good for the furnace be obtained at a less cost than $1.60 per ton? Where can iron be imported more readily, or what part of Canada is in much closer proximity to the iron mines of Cumberland and Pictou? If it be said that the people of Prince Edward Island are wanting in the spirit of enterprise, we meet the statement with @ flat denial, and point to what Islanders have ventured, and su‘Tered, and accomplished at home and abroal,—in Montreal, in New York, Boston, the Western States, or wherever circumstances and conditions furnished scope for the exertion of. their brains and hands. Nowne will say that Prince Edward Island cannot supply in abundance, out of her own fields and gardens, the food re- quired by a large manufacturing population ~not food, only, but many of the raw materials, such as fix, wool, etc., which are required in « manufacturing country.

What, then, is wanted by Prince Edward Island in order that she may prosper in tmanu!actures as we'] as her sister Provinces; in order that Charlottetown and Summer- side and Georgetown and Souris may grow and flourish, and furnish howe markets for our farmers, like Moncton and Amberst sad Truro, and many other prosperous towns throughout Canada?

of Prince Edward Island to the end that such efficient aud continuo us communica tion may be obtained. Will such be taken? We shall see.

For communication in summer, we can

action

find the means among ourselves ; for con- tinuous communication we need the pro- posed subway or tunnel, which the best civil engineers say is practicable and can be made, and which Canada is bound to afford as the only possible way by which her contract with this Province can be ful- filled.

Of one thing we may be sure: if we show that we know our rights, and knowing, dare maintain them, we shall obtain the aid of the people of the neighboring Provinces ; but if we lie still and do nothing, waiting for something to turn up, we shall be per- mitted to grumble and rub along as best we can, and be pointed at as the rustic res.- dents of ** Sleepy Hollow !’

The Presidential Election.

OPINIONS OF THE

_-——---

PRESS.

The presidential campaign just ended in the United States, has nut been such as to reflect high honor on a great nation. First, there was a loud cry raised against this country because it ventured to stand very quietly on its unquestiouable treaty rights.

secondly, the Senate rejected a new treaty |

which the President and House of Repre sentatives approved. Thirdly, the Presi- dent followed this rejection by a message of * retaliation,” asking legal powers to in- flict the ** great harm of Canada.”

tion. Fifthly, attention was turned to the Chinese, and a law passed breaking faith

with China and nullifying solemn contracts. |

Sack

suppose

ridiculous

One would

that a great nation would be above resort- ing to courses so unworthy of a self-gov- erning people. It is time for our neigh-

bors to outgrow this sort of weakness and folly. It is a sad reflection on the intelli-

gence of electors. (Haliyax Herald.)

If the returns at the hour of writing (4.30 a. wm.) are reliable, we assume that Harrison is elected president for the next four years This deubtless meaus the denial to us of reciprocal free trade in natural or other products. The Canadians can only secure reciprocity, says Mr. Blaine, by becoming states ot the American union. To Can- adians the presidential election is really a matter of slight moment. To the deve.op- ment of our great resources, and the up- building of our own industries, we shali continue to address ourselves with vigor, feeling confident that our chief reliance must be ever placed in our own healthy activity. The Canadian people are able to take care of themselves and of their coun- try as well.

(St. John Sun.)

It is sufficiently evident that the people of the republic are not yet tired of protec- tion. The real issue before the mass of the people was the tariff. soth parties de- clared for tariff reform and the reduction of duties. The democratic policy was re- duction in the direction of a revenue tariff. The republican platform was reduction of tax without lessening the amount of pro- tection.

Mr. Harrison differs from Blaine as much as the Cleveland of 1888 differs from the Cleveland of 1884. He is believ- ed to be honest and has no scandals attach ed to his name. Hitherto he has not been a clamorous, disputatious man. There is reason to hope that if he has the good for- tunetoget the majority of the electoral vote thelrepublic will find him a safe president. Until evidence to the contrary is afforded it is well to assume that he will cultivate good international relations.

Insurance for Firemen. It is understood that the city of Halifax has completed arrangements with the Manufacturers’ Insurance Company for one

almost

year for prot®cting the three fire com- panies, to the extent of $1,009 in case of death or the loss of two limbs vor both

eyes ; and for one-third this amount in case of the loss of one foot or hand; where a fireman is disabled through injury, $5 per week is allowed for a period limited at 6 months for one accident. The price paid for this insurance is $5 per man. There are over 200 members in the three com- panies. Considering the hazardous nature of the fireman’s calling, this is looked upon as a liberal arrangement on behalf of _ the company.

The New Steamer.

The new winter steamer is of the follow- ing dimensions: Length between perpen- diculars, 200 feet; breath extreme, 32 feet; depth moulded, 20 feet 3 inches; gross tonage, 1000. She has been built under special survey toclass 10 Al at Lloyds; but the scantiings in eyery way are much in excess of Lioyd’s requirements in order to resist: the pressure of ice which renders navigation a matter of extreme diiliculty in the waters she is intended to ply. The vessel, which will carry thirty first-class passengers, while second-class passengers will also be accommodated in the space aft, is expectedto obtainaspeed of fifteen knots per hour at load draft. Her engines are of the triple expansion type, with three inverted cylinders, and have been designed and constructed fur the special service for which the vessel has been built, every part being strong.

SuppeN Deata.—The young wife of Mr. Fred McCiure, who lives on Highfield street, died very suddenly on Monday in child-birth, the babe also succumbing. It ig said she was

about the house in her usual health on Mon- |

day, and her very sudden death is a terrible shuck to her husband and friends. The mother and infant were both taken to P. F, Island for interment by yesterday’s boat. This is the second time this year Mr. McClure has been on a sad mission to the Island, hav. ing taken his brother there for burial last July. — Moncton Times. oe —————e Pe — .—— —

Ee LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The New Wintcr Bout Stanley.

Sin, —When the unpleasant duty of cross- iny the Straits to your good P, E, Island late in autumn or early in spring, is the expe rience of any reader of the daily papers, it will be a source of gratification to read in to-day’s despatches that the new Stanley will sail on the 15th inst., for this ide, and itis alsoa matter of congratu- ation that Capt. Finlayson will take charge on herarrival. For several years the more experienced travellers have been more or less nervous in making the journey in the Northern Light, a boat which of necessily must be fast falling into the mellowness of age, andif the new boat has beeu built upon a plan based upon the accumulated experience and recorded failures of the |Northern Light, we have reason to hope | chat avery improved service will be the | vesult. Capt. McEihinney and the genial | Mr. McMillan, who are in daily attendance F the new boat, are certainly doing all

they can to give expression to the best methods of fighting the ice difficulties of the Gulf, and one had only to go on board the Stanley as she was under construction it Fairfield, Glasgow, to see that su far as jiron could be made useful for that purpose jit was being done in this cease. The most | ulaborate system of bracing and water tight | compartments as being wrought out in this | boat show that no consideration of expense ‘has been allowed to interfere with the \snecessful solution of the winter service problem. Being fortunate enough to have the guidance of Capt. Mcilhinney and Mr. MeMilian through the | Stanley at a time when her hull was on ‘the stocks, the model, strength and size of the new boat gave one quite a hopeful out- look for future crossing the straits. While not large, she had plates and solid work as strong as Ships five times larger,

| papers to give a description of her accom

modations, as, no doubt, that will be fully done on her arrival; but none can help be

ing struck with this tangible, earnest ex- pression of the Government's wishes to carry oat faithfully the winter mail service, if a boat can be built to do it. Capt. Mc Elhinney and Mr. MeMillan are most anxious that both hull and machinery should be such that no ordinary difficulty would injure either, and when we have our cvod Capt. Finiayson in-charge, why, the crossing will be a pleasure. Having had many years’ experience of the winter ser- vice, both at Cape Traverse and vis George- town, I believe the service is about to be given one of the most successful attempts at a solution of the problem of winter navi- gation. | have tothank Capt. McElhinney and Mr. McMillan for their most earnest efforts to show all parts of the ship and machinery, which kindness they willingly extended to any interested who paid a visit to Fairfield to see the new Stanley.

Stretching forth his baby hand in an imperious way he eaclaims, ‘‘ His Majesty wishes it.” But his Minister of the Interior takes care that his Majesty doesn’t get it. Alfonso is extremely jealous of his mother, and whenever they appear in public it makes him angry to have the people applaud her. Hv has a great bump of egotism, that youngster,
