Island paper the writer regularly sees, and it shows that neither its editors, nor its con- tributors nor its correspondents understand the proper views held by the Yankee citi zen ona protective tariff. Were the elec- tion of a President or any other candidate for a Government appointment to hinge on the question of a protective tariff, the pro-

tectionist in every instance would trium- phantly carry the day. Almost the total mass of the laboring and wage-earning

classes, both Republican and Democratic, are Protectionists. Some of the New Eng- land States may advocate the free importa- tion of potatoes, oats, horses anda few other edible artic) », but the vast bulk of the Union care nothing about it.

The far-spreading western and northern counties of New York raise an immense quantity of farm productions of all sorts, and most of them of the very best quality.

and the slopes and coast of the Pacitic and ther more inland parts. Millions of black cattle and other domestic animals are raised in these vast districts and sent off in every direction to market.

A silly notion prevailing among your island Grits, so called (if their public speeches and writings may be relied on), is that if you elect a Grit government it will only have but to raise its hand or point its

finger and Reciprocity and Free Ttade with the great Union will be instantly yours,

Many Grits contend that a protective tariff as adapted to little P. E. Island, can in nowise compare with its adaptation to

between them is not so some imagine.

deep as hat in some points and characteristics the little one cannot be compared to, or

It goes without saying

measured by the standard of its monster cousin across the line. But it is a fact worthy of notice, that a tariff which most benetits some states of the Great Union is not as highly adapted to the business and manufacturing lines of some of their sister states. But in this par- ticular no state of the Great Sisterhood ex- hibits a spirit of sordid selfishness. All of them seem to understand that on some political and commercial matters it is wise to agree to differ; and on this principle they have acted in the past and_ still act. The tolerance of slavery by the statesmen of the North, a traffic so utterly abhorrent to their noblest instincts for so long a period, is a manifest proof of this spirit of liberality and forbearance which existed and still exists among the different states to

wards each other. This is especially so in the North, which is always ready to cive and take. And did not this noble spirit prevail, the Great Union would tumble into fragments ere the next President darken the doors of the White House. If ever the United Provinces of the New Dominion be- come politically cemented, consolidated and progressive, they must imbibe a portion at least of this spirit of

SECTIONAL LIBERALITY AND FORBEARANCE

towards each other, both on the other commercial questions.

Now, the fact is, that the Americans want from you immeasurably more wool than you have to spare; and they are prepared to give you as high a price for itas you can realize from any other quarter in spite of the duty. A very large percentage of the wool which supplies the American factories comes from far off antipodal Australia, principally through British agents and traders.

The principal pleas for free wool are:

The New York Tribune Says: ** Sir John Macdonald is a remarkable tactician. He entered upon the political campaign, which was ended last week, with all the auguries against him. The execution of Riel’s death sentence had impaired his iufluence in Que- bec, which has always been his main strong- hold. The Maritime Provinces were ap- parently dissatisfied with the operation of ithe taritf and in full political revolt against the Conservative Party. In Ontario the Liberals had recently won a notable triumph, and the popularity and prestige of their leader, Mr. Blake, had steadily increased. The Opposition were united and fident. The Government were rent asunder by internal feuds. Never was a prime minister's canvass fought under greater disadvantages or in more desperate straits. Sir John has had only one vigorous ally, Sir Charles Tupper, in the east, but he held his ground with characteristic courage. The contest was a close one, but he retains control of Parlia- ment, and the Liberals have been foiled in their contident expectations of carrying the country by an overwhelming vote. The re- sult is a striking proof of Sir John Mac- donald’s dexterity in political management. | The elections betoken a reaction against re- peal.”

Saved from the Sea.

A Gloucester, Mass., despatch gives ¢ following particulars of the Blizzard at. referred to in our special despatches yesterday : The schooner Mable Keanistou tloucester arrived home on the 2nd inst. , having in tow the British schooner Blizzare, of Lunenburg, N. 8., captain and crew ot seven men taken off the previous day. From Captain William Bird,of the Blizzard, the following is learned : The vessel sailed from Lunenburg Deceiuber 20, for Kings- ton, Jamaica. After a rough passage of 20 days she arrived at her destination, meet ing with few accidents. She discharge cargo and sailed for Cienfuegos, loaded with cargo consisting of molasses consigned to a Boston firm, sailing from there Feb. 10th. Continuous gales were met with and after crossing the gulf the weather was very cold. The _ vessel iced up badly, which carried away the gear, tearing sails and springing both masts so no sails could be set. The vessel Jabor- ed so heavily as to cause her to leak. The crew kept continually at the pumps until

or 4

exhausted and badly frost bitten. They took a heavy easterly gale and run under

storm trysail to within 20 miles of That- cher’s Island when a heavy northwester

drove her back to Georges. Their provisions and water gave out and the men were put on _ allowance.

on monday morning they sightedfthe Mabel Kenniston, when the crew refused to work any longer and ordered a signal of distress to be hung. The captain refused to aban- don the vessel, for the wina becoming fair he thought he would try to get to Nova Scotia, but the crew were so badly used up they could not work. Signals of distress were set, when the Kenniston bore down, and the crew with great difficulty were taken off, after which Capt. Nelson put a crew on board to bring the Blizzard in. She is a fine vessel of 332 tons, three years old, owned by Capt. J. Wolfe, of Lunen- burg, N. 8., and is insured.

Killed Herself for Love.

Miss Annie M. Baker, aged 21, daughter of a prominent physician of Jeffersonville, Ind., died on the 28th ult., from the effects of rat poison. She committed suicide be- cause of her disappointment in love. Upon St. Valentine’s Day she was to have been married to ‘Adam Bauer, but the marriage was prevented by the father of the young man, who objected on account of his son being 19 years of age. Young Bauer's father went to the county clerk and _pre- vented him from issuing a marriage license. Adam promised to call upon his sweetheart on Sunday night, but failed to make his appearance, and this is supposed to have made her desperate.
