1SS3, The Fishery Bounty.

Wrrutn the last few days, thousands of dollars have been paid out to our fish- ermen in the shepe of bounties, raging from $4.00 to $8.00 a man. When this bounty money was first proposed to be distributed, the Grit press from one end of the country tothe other declared it to be money intended to be thrown away for the purpose of bribing the electors. It would be only given for one year at the turthest, said some of the Grit politi- cians ; and many of them asserted that il was only ‘‘election bait,” and that as soon as the elections were over the fish- ermen might whistle for their bounty. This is how the Patriot in March, 1882, looked upon this question. * The bounty to fishermen is the revival of a vicious system, which, while it throws and un- justly throws a burden upon the whole people for the benefit of a class, is really of no advantage to that class. It is the childish device of upinstructed men to do what alone can be done by unaided in- dustry, energy and eoterprise. It humiliating to see the Government of this Dominion adoptivg a policy which enlightened men everywhere, condemn as unwise and ineflicient, ete., ete. The sum proposed to be given as bounties, $150,000, is so trifliog that it is only in- tended to be thrown away as a bribe.”

No doubt the Patriot editor perned the above extract advisedly. From it we may safely infer that the Grit leaders generally look upon this mode of dis- tributing the interest of the Fishery Award to our fishermen as a most “vicious system,” and that if ever their party uvfortuuately obtains power in this Dominion, one of their first acts will be the repealing of the law in relation to fishermen’s bounties. Let our fisher- men mzeke a note of this.

No class of men in the country deserve greater consideration than our worthy fishermen. ~ They follow an honorable calling. .The products. of the sea are fully as important as those of the lan& The fishery business, therefore, is of the utmost importance to the people gener- ally. It should be encouraged and deve- loped, in every possible manner, as One ef the great leading industries of the Dominion, We believe it is the present Domiuvion Government who have the best interests of our fishermen at heart.

: vein baie aft No Longer a Free Trader.

Tue Patriot, we observe, continues dealing out Opposition speeches to its readers with an uvsparing hand. Its supply o° local material must, surely, be well nigh exhausted by this time. In- deed, it would appear that the local thunder is over, for Mr. Davies is now getting Ais speeches published in the Grit daily.

His latest effusion on the tariff has actually made its appearance. Need we say that there is little in it that calls for special remark. The same recklessness and extravagance of assertion that char- acterizes all his political utterances, characterizes this recent Budget effort of his in an eminent degree. There is one statement in it, however, that will, per- haps, be read with some surprise by the partizans of Free Trade. Said Mr. Davies in his Election Card:—“I am a Free Trader.” In his speech ou the Tariff Debate the other day, he pro- claims himself in favor of a Revenue Tariff. Here are his exact words as they appear in the House of Commons Debates: “As far as my knowledge goes, the party weut to the country upon the principles laid down in the card of their

leader. I do aot believe one member of this party weut to the country flying

false colors, but every one proclaimed himself in favor of a Revenue ‘Tariff;

not because it was more beneficial than |

Free Trade, but because a Reve Tariff is a necessity.”

Now, we have no hesitation it saying that Sir Leonard Tilley was mght when he stated that the grit party, at the last geveral election, went to the country sailing under false colors. Mr. Davies for ove, in his card declared—*‘I am a Free Trader!” Mr. Blake, the leader, said in his card—‘“Free Trade for us, as I have repeated!y shown, is av impossi- bility.” This statement of Mr. Blake’s was carefully suppressed by the local grit leaders during the election campaign, as Mr. Davies and the other grit candi- dates wished to play the role of Free Traders, pure and simple.

Since Mr. Davies has made up his mind that what the country requires is “a RevenueTariff simply,” perhaps he will condescend to explain what he means by a Revenue Tariff. Does he want the old Cartwright Tariff re-introduced with its high duty upon tea, coffee, tin and other

articles of prime importance to the poor |

maa? Does he desire to see again the period of deficits? of low prices for farm produce? the era of low wages,depressioa, despondency and distrust? If so, all that he needs is the old Cartwright Tariff over again. Or perhaps he would prefer his friend Charlton’s policy. Mr. Charlton, it is well known, aspires to the position of Finance Minister under grit rule. In the House of Commons, March 10th, 1882, he delivered a lengthy speech on the Budget debate, in which he said :—“ These statistics prove very plainly that the importation of goods, susceptible of monufacture in Canada are increasing, and I infer from = and — other taets, that a

nue tariff of, say 20 per cent. with material admitted free of duty for the use

THE DAILY BXAMINER, TUNE 5,

of manufacturers, would be a better tariff for the manufacturing industries of this country than the tariff now in foree.”’ This 20 per cent. tariff might possibly please Mr. Davies, but we are very sure it would noi please the farmers, fishermen and mechanics of this Do minioun. Then again there is that other mode of raising a revenue—a Uniform Tariff—which was so warmly advocated by certain Grits at the last Dominion Election. By a Uniform Tariff, we sup- pose, is meant, a tariff that taxes every- thing alike, so that the poor man’s tea, tobacco, flour, salt, efc., would be taxed as highly as the rich man’s wines, and silks and satins Which of these three modes is the local grit leader pre- pared to endorse ? According to his own admission, he “belongs” to a_ party. Greater leaders of that party than he have propounded their policy which is in favor of either the Cartwright, the 20 per ceut., or the Uniform Tariff. As Mr. Davies can no longer be considered : Free Trader he should at once tell the people what he means by his Revenue Tariff Policy.

The Dominion Exhibition.

We are glad to find that a revision, to some extent, of the Prize List “for this Exhibition is under consideration by the committee of management. The St. John papers, of the 2nd iust., give the report of a meeting held there last week, at which important and desirable

changes for the better were made, es- pecially in some of the live stock classes.

It is extraordinary that a prize list for an exhibition of such maguitude as a Dominion Exhibition should be published to the world before being properly dis- cussed and care taken to see that the various interests under consideration were fairly and impartially represented.

Instead of this a prize list has been published which is most unfair to the agricultural interests. We cannot under- stand why the committee, to whom was entrusted the task of preparing a prize list, should confine the sum to be awarded to $6,000.00. Considering the different sources of income at their com- mand, the munificent grant of some tea thousand dollars from the Dominion Government, and the liberal Provincial and Civic appropriations, the prizes should be much Yarger. Comparing the amount of,money prizes given at the Halifax Dominion Exhibition, 1881, with that given by the St. Jobn Dominion Exhibition, 1883, now before us, we fiud a vast difference. For Live Stock at Halifax the sum of $7,223.00 in money prizes was awarded; at St. John the small sum of $3,542.00 is all that appears from the Prize List. But as this list is being revised, we learn from the report of the meeting before us, that au increase is made in the awards for Horses, Cattle and Swine, amounting to $1,763.00. Other changes and altera- tions are spoken of which will materially improve the Prize List, and render it more generally acceptable to intending exhibitors, especially in the Live Stock classes. In the Grade Cattle Class, the revising committee have added $378.00. This is another step in the right direction and we trust that the Committee will so improve the Prize List as to remove the impression that it was drawn up with the view of limiting the exhibits, and keep- ing all the money in and about St. John.

The appointment of Lord Lansdowne as Governor-General of Canada, is well re- ceived by the English press of both parties. Ajl agree that his position, abilities,known courege, independence, and winning personal qualities fit him for the post. There is no attempt to revive the old [rish

A decision of some moment to newspaper

men was given last Tuesday in the Quebec court of appeals. A person named McLeish entered an action against the Star newspap- er for damages, alleging that a libel had been published concerning him, Part of the defendant’s plea was that they as jour- nalists were justified in publishing the statement in the public imterest if it were a fair one, and was published without malice. This had been struck out by the Supreme Court. The Coart of Appeals de- cided three judges to two that the judgment of the Superior Court was invalid, and that the case should be sent before a jury on this plea of justification.
