Protection and Free Trade.

|

To the Editor of the Examiner.

| Srr,—l see by the papers that Mr. L. H. Daves had the | National Policy in his speech in the House ‘of Commons on Winter Communication. 1 jobserve also that the Editor of Patriot follows suit, ard attempts to belittle that | Policy as regards its working in Prince |Edward Island. In fact, the National Policy appears to be the stock in trade of ‘every Grit orator and writer. He can talk jof nothing else. Protection to him is like ‘ared rag toa turkey cock. He knows that every principle held by the Libera!-Con- ‘servative Party is perfectly unassailable '—that the Nations! Policy has had less |opportunity of conferring its benefits on the people of the Island than in any other part \of the Dominion—and hence the reason for | his assaults upon that policy. | Protection is a word that gnaws the feel- ings of a modern Grit. He has been brought up to hate it, and he has not brains ,enough to see that he has been wrongly ‘educated. He sees the vast majority of the people of England, living under the ‘vaunted advantages of a Free Trade Policy, struggling for a miserable existence against a lantern-faced poverty, while across a

narrow channel he beholds a thriving pec- |

| ple under a Protective system,—and yet it teaches him nothing. He looks to the | United States—a country whose policy has | all along been arbitrarily protective—and he ‘sees nothing but turning spindles, happy ;homes and a prosperous populace ; and | singular to say, it never occurs to him that its National Policy has had anything to do |with the unparalleled prosperity of that 'country. He lived in Oanada a few | years ago, under what was called a Free ae Government, and he saw young men and young women crowding the | wharves to make their way to a country | which had protection inscribed on its ban- ner ; he saw the wheels of factories standing

still, labor in rags, trade languishing, in- dustry with empty pockets, money in the safe of prudence locked up by the key of fear, enormous deficits annually occurring, spreading itself likea pall over the land. He lived on, and he saw the policy that brought about these results changed. A ithe arena. Whatdid heseethen! A great highway destined to connect the Pacific and the Atlantic with links of iron, opening up thousands of acres of the finest land for ‘settlement; cities springing up as if by magic, coffers filled with gold, commerce ‘swelling the sails of our ships, cabins of free men flooded with plenty, and factory operatives wrapped in measureless content. And yet he talks about the policy that has brought all this around, as though it were a curse to the country !

Mr. Davies and the Patriot tell us that | there is a stagnation in all kinds of business ‘on the Island, and that the National Policy |is to blame fer it all. When did this stag- nation in business begin? National Policy was inaugurated. There were more bankrupts preduced in one year under regime of McKenzie than under the ‘four years of Conservative rule. We ‘challenge a denial of this assertion. 1 fail, | however, to see that there is a greater 'stagnation in business to-day than there

!

wasin 1875. But even if there was, there are other causes for it other than the workings of a policy that

has been so handsomely endorsed by |the whole electorate of the Dominion. iL think that the effects of the present de- pression should be traced to their true ‘cause. And when Mr. Davies next refers to the starving condition of the people of |the Island, let him tell about the severity of last winter, the lateness of tbe spring, land the partial failure of the harvest. Let (him not forget to,mention the partial failure | of the fisheries, and worse than all, the jfailure of the Bank of P. E. Island—a failure that brought severe loss to hundreds if not thousands of the people of this \Island. When I look around and see the far-reaching distress that the breaking of this Bank brought to so many, I am really astonished that our condition is as prosper- ous asit is. Such acrash would have pro- duced a ‘“‘stagnation” in the business of much larger and richer countries than Prince Edward Island. It is not surpris- ing that it should have a depressing effect here.

But, is the state of trade so distressing as those prophets of evil would have us believe? I assert that it is not. The Trade returns show a considerable increase over other years, the earnings of our Rail- way have been larger than ever before. In 1880, the earnings were $1,506,298; in 1881, $1,760,393; in 1882, $2,079,262. I understand that the amount of money on deposit in our Saving’s Bank is larger than ever before, at present exceeding one million of dollars! Facts and figures are stubborn things-~so stubborn that they will defy the skill of Grit orators and writers o overturn.

Communication with the Mainiand.

To the Editor of the Examwer.

Dear Sir,—lI beg leave to resume my discourse relative to the advantages offered at the Capes, as the proper route to the Mainland, for the conveyance of mails and passengers, as well as for traffic, winter and summer.

From the best information I can obtain, as well as from experience, I conclude there will be no difficulty in plying a steamer to }run with regularity every day from the first lof April up to Christmas—probably that i\would be the average —-although some seasons she might run later and others at an earlier date, leaving about the usual

bad-taste to refer to the

time—say from ten to twelve weeks —for crossing with the ice-boats.

This would be a great advantage, inas- much asit would be asaving of time and money to the traveiling community, besides adding to their comfort. Travellers would merely have to take a ticket from Halifax or Boston, as the case might be, for Char- lottetown, step on the train and proceed on their journey, without the discomfort of landing at Shediac or Pictou, and lounging about these interesting places, Waiting hours for the departure of the steamer. It would relieve the Postmaster of that unde- served censure passed annually on him at the change of the season, for pot sending the mails ria the Capes, and at other times for not forwarding by way of Georgetown, at any rate it would ensure a regularity, a uniformity and dispatch we are unused to at the closing and opening of navigation.

Bat, Mr. Editor, although the transit of the mails and passengers by the way of the Capes would be an advantage, it would be a mere cipher compared to the great outlet it would open for the conveyance of our produce to market. What the country feels the wants of now is, a safe and ex- peditious carriage of their produce to the towns of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, more particularly to the cities of the United States. To Bangor, Portland, Boston and New York! The months of November and December, April and May, is the time when our potatoes can be moved without damage and with profit; but these are seasons of the year that afford little or no means for transporting our vegetables to

market.

It is the season when that necessary esculent the potatoe isscarce and dear, af- fording the Germans to ship it across the Atlantic with profit, while we have to | wait well on into the month of May and

‘Jnne before shipping—a time when the _article and price is depreciated.

If we only had our railway connection with that of the Intercolonial, instead of as it is now,accepting the lowes!, we should obtain the highest price in the market, j because of the short time required for transit—say twenty-four hours to Halifax jand St. John, and from three to four days to Boston and New York. | The advantages offered by this route are ,80 great that it is unnecessary to add ‘further details, particularly so when we ‘remember there sre no bags wanted for |shipment, and that no reshipment or handl- ‘ing of the article would take piace until the

;

| delivery thereof.

What an encouragement, what a grand | future it opens to the prospect of the farmer and to his sons, to remain at home, :to till the soil and receive the full fruit of their labor, instead of wandering over the

| prairie in endless search of a better resting .

| place.

I trust, Mr. Editor, that your readers will see the object Sir Charles Tupper had ‘in view when he proposed and obtained the

| Sanction of the Government to grant a sum ;of money towards carrying oat his design, viz :—to connect by the route of the capes our railway with that of the Intercolonial, over which our produce will pass, at a com- paratively small charge, to the continental markets.

Sir Charles’ action in the present Parlia- ment is a guarantee of his earnestness, end should be followed up by the country inde- pendent of party feelings in a way appre- ciative of his earnestness and ability.

The Fisheries Question.

THE PROPOSED TERMINATION OF THE TREATIES —INTERESTING REPORT BY THE SENATE COMMITTE ON FOREIGH AFFAIRS.

Wasuninoton, Feb 26.-- The Senate joint resolution providing for the termination of the fishery clauses of the treaty of Wash- ington, which wes passed by the House to- day, was favorably reported by the Com- mittee on Foreign Affairs through Mr. tice. Included in the report is a resolution of the Massachusetts Legislature, which declares that the fishing interests of that State demand that the binding force of the fishing clauses of the treaty shall be ter- minated. The report states that a ter- mination before May, 1883, is necessary to avoid the liability of the United States to pay another compensation to Great Britain on a demand similar to that which led to the payment of the $5,500,000 indemnity award- ed by the Halifax commission. Quotations are made from Mr. Evarts, who explained at the beginning of the term of reciprocity (12 years) that unless due notice should be yiven trouble might at any time ensue after beginning torun on another term. The report states that the Canadian fisheries are 10 longer of special use to us since our fish- ermen have learned to fish in the deep sea successfuly, and by the use of seines and traw] hooks to catch cod and halibut, and to take mackerel by intercepting the fish off our shores ; that they would prefer to pay the $50 license required for fishing on Canadian grounds should they want to fish there rather than be subjected to the vex- atious condition of the treaty, which admits British fish free. This free admission of fish amounts to $400,000 a year, or $4,800,000 in tweive years, which really goes to stimulate the Canadian fishing interest and to correspond- ingly discourage our own, while our fishermen are better and more expen- sively equipped in boats and appliances. The report anticipates the objection which may be offered to its conclusions by pre- senting elaborately prepared tabular state- ments to show that fish, as an article of food or commerce, has been no cheaper on an average during the times when either the former treaty or the reciprocity tresty have been in force than when there was no treaty at all. The conclusion reached is that our fishermen are discouraged, and ca‘th less fish when the conditions of a treaty gave Canadian fishermen advantages over them, and the price goes up; when the Canadians are given no advantage the busi- ness becomes more profitable, more fishing is dons, and the price goes down.
