Raciprocity.

| |

UNITED STATES papers are, as am ster of course, dencuncing the new Canadian Tariff. But they are als» talking of Reciprocity 10 4 strain they would vever had the slightest need —which they would never have thought

of adoptiug bai tae ¢ | Tariff continued in force. The New york Journal otf Commerce, in a recent issue, save:

‘All through Canada ¢ 2 lougiug for a new reciprocity with the weiled States is intense. A reciproca! tra le is atl rat anada wants oO uz at pres ut, ani Ww salty all that we want of ne The Az it ripe for the rene wt of our old comnercike £ latisay with Canada

however far wto tue inbturs thet lea of aa

nexation may be postponed. The hour has come, but where is the man on either side to lead in these negotiations?

What the Journal of Commerce gays about the ‘longing of Canada” is quite correct. Canada has always longed for Reciprocity, and has ever been ready to reciprocate trade But it is a new

with the United States.

thing for leading trade journals of the United States to be crying out for Reciprocity with Canada. The reason}

ie that under the old Tariff, the United States enjoyed all the advantages of free trade with us, while they ** protected ” them- selves from Canadian competition in their markets. The new Tariff has changed this; and United States papers are now ask- ing for ‘‘ Reciprocity.” ‘hia is the result we anticipated.

Mr. Langevin Speaks.

—

Tae Toronto Globe's Ottawa correspond- ent stated recently that Mr. Langevin had refused employment in his department to an applicant, because he was a Protestant.

The only reference Mr. Langevin has

thought proper to make to the fabrication was contained in his speech at the Chap- leau Banquet in Montreal, as follows :—

‘He (Mr. Langevin) must not forget on this occasion his hon. friend, the first Minis- ter of this Province, who represented so ably aud so providentially (langhter) in his person the two races that occupied it. He said pre- videntially, because his hon. friend repre- sented the two races (renewed laughter —the Eaglish-speaking by his fair and intelligent wife, and the French-Canadian by himself. (Applause aud laughter.) By the blood that flowed in his veins he was a French-Canadian, aod by heart and head he belonged to the other races, because his heart and head told him that unless we were united as ene people, we could not prosper

and be happy. (Enthusiastic applause.) He (Mr. Langevin) was glad that. he

had this opportunity of once more cast- ing aside these calumnies that had been hurled at kim, especially quite lately, in that truthful paper called the Toronto Globe, That paper, when it chose to attack public men, had always « very cowvenient correspondent: intthe capital or somewhere near that public man, aud their cmversations were manufac- tured for purposes of calumay. Such conver- gations hadi been recently manufactured against him (Mr. Langevin) and one of his col- leasues, He need mot say that there was no trath in them any more than io the corres pondence of the same paper relative to his (Mc. Langevin’s) course in the old country. The corresp ndeat of the Globein London then etvlel chit Tr. Linzevin instead of attending to his mission had gone to Paris. (Laughter. ) He would have been very giad to have been able to take a trip to Paris, but unfortunately he could not io himself this pleasure, and re- maiged in Londou nntil he left for Canada. { Laughter and applause.

The Education Report.

Ir ill becomes the Patriof to make a fuss because the Government have ordered the Report of the Board of Education to be printed at the Presbyterian office. Last year two thousand copies of this Report were printed at the Patriot office—theugh only one thousand were wanted, and the other thousand are now lying a useless encumberance about the Provincial Build- ing. A nico little ‘ This year but one thousand copies have been ordered ; and if the Rev. Mr. Lawsen pays all the costs and obtains only a fair price for them—as he doubtless will— his profits will amount to say twenty dollars ! is something for the Putriot te raise a fuss about.

Mr. Biacar, one of the Emigration Del- egates, who visited Canada last autumn,

has been ‘reporting’ in Scotland. Mr.

Biggar 8 conclusions are as follows :—

‘“T am satisfied that men with some capital could make more of it in Canada than in this country. Ithink there is most money to be made in the north-west, but even in Ontario and the other provinces I thiak prospects are good. Ido not advise people who are doing well here, with a prospect of providing for their families, to change; but there are hun- dreds mith moderate capital and working fam ilies who would do much better in Canada than they can do here. They will find in many parts of it as good farms, as good houses, as good schools, and as good neighbors as they have here. They will also remain un- der the British flag. IL met many Americans who did not hesitate to say that some day they expected Canada to be part of the United States; but I have very much mistaken the feelings of the Canadians if there is any such feeling on their side of the line, They are proud of their territory in the North-west, proud of their coanexien with this country, and somewhat jealous of their neighbors. Of course you will see that considerable capital is required to purchase one of the improved On- tario farms, bat in the Eastern ‘Townships, and in many other parts, there is plenty ,of land at lower prices, whieh can be bought for less than it would have cost a few years ago. In short young men, or men with grown up families, with some capital, should go to Man- itoba; men with sufficient. capital and young families should settie in the older provinces, but I do not think working men with no capi- tal would gain much by emigrating.”’

We hear a great deal about skillful surgical | operations being performed in the Charlotte town Hospital, the Poor House, and other places. ‘These will no doubt sink into ob- livion when cur readers hear of, the operation recently performed in Bellevue Hospital, N.Y. Here it is. A young man named ‘Thomas Coulter lost his nose from lupoid, a malady clesely related to cancer. The dis- ease was arrested after the nose was gone, and the physicians at Bellevue undertook to build a new nose for Voulter. ‘The N. Y. Herald gives the following brief sketch of how they did it; The foundation of his nose was laid ; the middle fingers of the left hand was frozen by being putin afreezing mixture of ice and salt. The uaii was removed. Nitric acid was applied to destroy the matrix of the nail, so that no nail would grow. The patient was then placed under the influence of anesthetic. ‘he skin was then removed from the end of the finger to about the origin of the nail—-the frozen, nailless finger, already decribed. Two flaps were raised from the palmate surface of tae finger, and a silver wire, armed with a needle at either end, was passed through the ead of the finger. ‘Two flaps were also raised from the face on either side of the opening of the nose, aud then the end of the finger was placed in a pocket made in the skin, where the nose formerly had been. The raw surface of the flaps of the finger were then stitched to the raw surfaces of the flaps of the face. The wound was then bound up air-tight aud stationary. Linen and canvas soaked in| plaster-Paris were then wound round and round the man’s face and head, so that when the plaster dried he would be unable to meve either, and his hand is also held in position by plaster of Paris bandages. ‘The patient is now doing well. He has lain more than a month under the infiuence of morphine, waiting for the new nose to grow from the middle finger of his left hand. Already the flaps taken from the middle finger have united with the flaps takea irom the face. Amputation of the of the finger at the middle joint will be next in order, and it will remain for the doctors —after obtaining the supply ef blood neces- sary to nourish the new nose—to make Coul- ter’s wonderful proboscis a thing of beauty.
