The Press of the United States and the National Policy.
Srverat American journals of late dates contain articles abusive of Sir John Me- Donald and the Liberal-Conservative party because they have adopted the National Policy. These articles are republished by the Grit newspapers throughout the Do- minion and are represented as independent public opinion. If American journalists were earnestly in favor of Free Trade, they would first use their influence with the politicians and Governinent of their own country. If they were opposed to Protec- tion, on principle, they would at least en- deavor to get their own Government to modify its exorbitant pretective tariff. The opinion of the United States journalist who advocates a Protective tariff for his own country, and Free tradejfor others, should be looked;upon with suspicion. He writes leng articles to prove that Protection is the best thing possible for Uncle Sam and the worst thing possible for any other country. The world would be perfectly governed—according to his ideas—if a Chinese wall were built around the United States, and Uncle Sam had free access into every other country. Unfertunately for them, other people and nations cannot see things in the same light. They have come to the conclusion that such a policy may be very good for the United States, but very bad for every one else. The peeple of the Dominion rebelled against this Yankee idea of how the world should be governed ; and in self-defence eleeted a party to protest against it. This party, led by Sir John A. Macdonald, said: ‘‘We are willing te have, and even want, Free Trade, with our cousins, but not a jug-handled Free Trade, with all the benefits on one side. That there may be ne mistake about this, we will pass an Act to admit—free of duty—into our country, any American productions that the Ameri- can will admit—free of duty—into his.” This seems just ; but the Yankee politica! philosopher is not reasonable. He is vexed because the citizens of the United States have to pay a duty on the corn, coal, and oats which they send to the Dominion to compete with our fara- ers and miners, and _ consequently abuses Sir John A. and _ the Con- servative party, and lauds Mackenzie and his party te the skies. The Grit papers, of course, publish all this. Fancy the incon- sistency of an American editor abusing the Dominion Gove:nment fer doing that which he praises and upholds his own Government for doing! For praising Mackenzie and his defunct Government, the American journa- ist has good and tangible reasons. During the five years that Mackenzie ruled the destinies of this Dominion, he did a great deal for the United States, and very little for the Dominion. That the American people should extol Mackenzie is only natural. We are doubtful if any of their ewn politicians did as much to benefit them during the last five years as did the Grit Premier. But why the people, whose country was brought to the verge of bank- ruptey by his misgovernment, should fall down and worship him, is a mystery.
ANOTHER Back Suegr.—The Cape Breton Times says : ‘“T'woor three dozen people as- se nbled in Temperance Hall on Saturday even- ing last to hear a woman, calling herself Mrs. *‘smith,” lecture on ‘*The Wonders of Great North-West.” It was advertised by handbills circulated about the town that Mrs. Smith and her husband had made a tour across the continent ; butfsomehow er other the audience came to tle conclusion that it was only an imaginary tour aad of course did not appre- ciate the lecture. Two facts that she endeav- ored to place before her hearers were that : the Mormans were not guilty of all they were credited with, and that the ‘‘injuns,” as sbe called them, were 80 good—so nice—so everthing.

After the charge of the President of the the jury conferred toyether for a few moments and then found as their verdict, that Mrs. Hall had been guilty ef adultery with the correspondent, Richardson, and that the petitioner had not been guilty of adultry with Miss Wyatt.

The Boat Race.
A number of young men who went to Halifax on Monday last, to witness the Ross-Smith boat race, returned home dis- gusted and disappointed last evening. They report that visitors have nearly all left Halifax much dissatisfied. The St. John News has the following :—
‘* What, have you got back frem Hali- fax ?” asked one St. John man of another sterday. The party interrogated had n in Halifax for three or four days. ‘*Yes,” he replied, ‘‘ I came back last night because I felt that I could not afford to run the risk of staying in Halifax till Christmas in erder to see the race.” ‘‘Oh,” replied another, ‘‘ you would not have to wait that long. If the race does not take place before then the chances are that the Hali- fax harbor would be frozen ever, and the basin only fit for skating pirposes.”
** T can tell you the cause of the rough water on Bedford Basin” said one man to a number of persons in front ef one of the telegraph offices yesterday.
** What ?”
“‘The great blow that Haligonians are making over Smith’s ability to win. It is sufficient to make atempest in a mill
ond.”
The Telegraph says :—‘On Thursday night, while Ross and Smith were out practicing, lots of Smith’s friends gathered on the banks. They mistook Wallace for Smith, and were cheering leudly for him, some saying, ‘I know it’s Warren, he rows just like old George Brown:’ and ‘how easy he sends her along—no dip nor splash there.’ They compared the men, saying, ‘Ross can’t row like that,’ and all such remarks. Some of Ross’ friends were eon hand, and took the whole thing in, laughing at Smith’s friends, who had all the time been looking at and cheering Wallace. They mistook Wallace for Smith in the dark.”

He Cannot Deny It.
It will be remembered that Hon. Mr. Langevin, in a recent speech befere his con- stituento at Three Rivers, charged Hon. Mr. McKenzie with the authorship of a letter to the Manchester ‘‘Examiner,” in which a most unpatriotic attack was made upon the credit of the Dominion, and an effort made to dissuade English capitalists | from investing money in this ceuntry, either in private enterprises or in the great public works undertaken by the Govern- The Montreal ‘‘Gazette” says : ‘‘Since that charge was made, Hon. Mr. McKenzie has addressed the people of Galt, yet neither there nor in the public prints has he denied its truth, and until he does so, he stands before the people of this country as a man who, fora petty party advantage, is ready to damage its credit, retard its progress, and hinder the development of its re- sources.

—— : To the Editor of the Examiner,
Sir:—Can you inform your numerous read- ers.what progress.is being made towards col- lecting our share of the fishery award from the General Goverment.’ From the fact of our being outside the confederation for some years after the Treaty of Washington came into operation,even such journals as the Mone- tary T'imes admits that we may establish a claim. If we have a right, and it is only fair to the Local Government to suppose that they believe it'to be a just claim, the taxpayers expect that due diligence will be used in its collection. ‘lhe national policy presses hard on this Province, as our navigation is limited, and the interpretation of the sugar duties causes the tariff in that direction to benefit us but little. The indirect benefits expected, such as a subsidized line from Heliax to the West Indies and South America, have not yet amounted to anything. It looks just now as if the Lower Provinces, for the present at least, will have to carry the heavy end of the protectionist stick.
Yours respectfully Henart Coomrs. Ch’tewn, Aug. 30, 1879. —_ Cape Breton Election.
The anti-confederates of Neva Scotia, says the Toronto Muil, are making a des- perate effort to regain their lost seat in Cape Breton. Butif the results accruing to Nova Scotia from the National policy will decide the election, it may be regarded as won for the Conservative candidate. Here are afew of the results. Take iron. The Londonderry Iron company are now
the purpose of storing material, thus en. abling them to prosecute their werk in winter with facility and advantage. The rolling mills have three hundred. men em- ployed. ‘The prospects are good, and all are confident of seeing the werk, before two months’ time, pushed with greater vigor than ever.” Such is the report that comes from Londonderry, published before there was any idea of an election in Cape Breton. Next take sugar. Nearly seven millions of pounds more sugar and over $160,000 more money came into the port of Halifax in the first four and a half months of the new policy. Take again the coal trade. The Pictou Standard pub-
fields are double those up to this time last year. The official statistics are not yet to hand for the month of July, but the state- ments published in the newspapers of that coal field show that ths grand total up to the date ef coal shipments from Pictou is 117,292 tons. This does not take into ac- count shipments by! rail. The Halifax Reporter says there is no doubt whatever that the coal trade of Pictou has been doubled ; and that in consequence of the N. P. These results, moreover, have been brought about in a few months.

WHOLESALE EMIGRATION PROPOSED — THE FEELING AMONG THE WORKMEN,
The extension of organized move- ments for emigration is attracting much at- tention throughout England and Scotland. During the recent visit to England of Mr. Gowen, President of the Reading Railway
foot a movement among the miners of English and Scotch coal regions fer a sys- tematized emigration to the coal regions of
Pennsylvania. The political advisers and | leaders of the miners are not altogether in- ; clined to faver the propered scheme fel
systematized emigration, and these schemes meet with strenuous opposition from certain prominent politicians of the the radical wing of the Liberal party. The influence

Last night a crowded meeting of Sheffield workmen, employed in ‘all branches of iron and steel manufacture, was held in support of a scheme for system atized emigration to the United States. It was composed. to a large extent, of skilful and well-to-do artizans of that city. The’ speeches that were made plainly showed the discontent and uneasiness of the skilled art- izans. It was impossible, some speakers cen- tended, for a workingman with a family, no matter how skilled in his art, nor econom- teal and thrifty in his expenditures, to make beth ends meet without depriving himself and his family not only of the little luxur- ies which they had been accustomed to, but of many of the actual necessaries of life. Some of the speakers declared they were not at all carried away by romantie and rosy- colered views of life in America,but they be- lieved that the cendition of skilled werk- men of all classes would be greatly benefited by large and systematized emigration. | ‘> err + .
