PETER STEWART, ' Victoria.

A Case in Point.

(Montreal. Gazette.) The Toronto Globe, mm a recent issue,

‘** A car load of eggs arrived in Toronto yes- terday from Buffalo. ‘ Behold,’ the red par- lor man will exclaim, ‘ what folly it is to talk of the United States as a market for the Cana- dian farmer. Let the traitors hide their Giminished heads whilst we loyal men turn to and assist Mr. Foster in securing the custom of the Jamaica negro, who belongs to a race that is particularly fond of chickens, and who must, therefore, have s well-developed han- kering for oggs.' This is the sort of sermon that is sure to be preached from the text of that Buffalocar load. Here is the hard fact to set over against it: In 1889 Canada imported 633,196 dezen eggs, of the value of $92 00, Outario taking 58,841 dozen ; yet this did not prevent us from exporting to the States dur- ing the same period 14,011,017 dozen, valued at $2,157,000, Ontario’s share of that huge consignment amounting to 9,928 .200 dozen.”

The importation of American eggs into Canada so early in the winter as December is a new departure, although for two or three years past the Svcuthern States article hae come in somewhat freely during February and March. For ex- ample we read in the Toronto Empire of February llth, 1890, in its report of the egg market, ‘‘that the local supply was further augmented by the arrival of about 30,000 dozen from the Americaz side to- day. This had the effect of still further weakening the market.” Inthe Empire of February 4th, 1890, it is reported that ‘another carluad of American eggs was dumped on this market to-day, and prices weakened still further.” In the Toronto Globe’s commercial columns of February, 13th, 1890, it is stated of eggs that ‘* the market is easy owing to plentiful supplies. Another car from the United States has been brought in. Fresh are now selling at 15 cents, and limed are purely nominal.” The effect of these importations of Southern eggs can best be measured by the price list. Here are the market quotations in Toronto in the first three months of 1890 :—

Jan. 15. Feb. 15. March 15. Fresh eggs 22 to 23 144 to 15 14 to 144 Lim’deggs 16to18 00 to 00 7 to 10.

The consequence of the importation of American eggs seems, therefore, to have been to depress prices about eight cents per dozen, and this at a season of the year when the Canadian producer of eggs looks for high quotations and a profitable return.

Now, we do not agree with the Globe in the assumption that anyone in Canada is stupid enough to argue that because at cer- tain seasons American eggs are imported from the United States, therefore -that ! country affords no profitable market for the

domestic product On the contrary, the statistics of the trade clearly show that a very large demand for Canadian eggs has

been sustained from our _ neighbors. What, however, the Canadian farmer ‘ig apt to argue is this: if the

| Americans tax our eggs why should not .we tax theirs’ Whether the quantity

| brought in from the Southern States dur- ‘ing the winter be large or small, it certainly ‘influences prices at points like Toronto and | Montreal to the prejudice of the Canadian ‘producer, and, however ardent an advocate -of reciprocity, limited or unlimited, the lat- ter may be, he is not likely to regard with equanimity the jug-handled policy of a free market in Canada for American eggs, and a taxed market in the United States for Canadian eggs.

The rejoinder our Liberal friends make to a view of this kind is that it is unfair to tax the great mass of Canadian consumers with a duty on American eggs for the sake of the farmers who happen to keep poultry; and while this argument may have some force from a free trade basis, the difficulty of accepting it from Canadian Liberals is that in their next breath they wholly de- stroy their logic. To take a case in point : in the very issue of the Globe from which we have quoted above, this editorial state- ment appears: ‘Every farmer in Eastern Ontario knows that this yeur the price he got for his turkeys and geese was less than the price paid in the States by the sum of the freight charges and the McKinley duty.” That is to say, by the gospel ac- cording to the Globe, the American duty on turkeys and geese is paid by the Canadian exporter, while a Canadian duty on eggs would likewise be paid by the Canadian importer, This matter of duties, in fact, whether imposed by a McKinley or a Fos- ter tariff, is to the Americans, by Liberal logic, agame of ‘“‘heads I win, tails you lose.” Yet if the consumer pays the duty in one case, he must do so in all Jike cir- cumstances, and so far as poultry, eggs, and most other agricultural products are concerned, the rule is inflexible.

The figures quoted by the Globe serve, to our mind, to establish the advantage of reciprocal free trade in natural products between Canada and the United States. At cer‘ain petiods of the year it is desirable and profitable fur Canada to procure eggs from the United States, while at other periods it is equally desirable for Americans to obtain their eggs from Canada. Common sense, therefore, urges a policy of free trade in the article, and there are 1awmy other products standing on a similar plane. The obstacle thus far obtruded to the inaugur- ation of the common sense policy has been antipathy on the part of the United States. Instead of moving in the direction of reci- procal free trade, the legislators of that country are making laws more and more re- strictive ; so much ao, indeed, that until the party of tar:ff reform is in the ascend- ant it seems quite futile to look for the consummaticn of a fair and rational reci-

focity treaty between the two countries

ut whenever Uncle Sam shows his willing- ness to enter into fair bargain for free trade, we may be sure the Canadian Gov- ernment will not hesitate to accept the overture.

The Unspeakable Turk.

REFUSES TO LET A JAPANESE WAR ENTER THE DARDANELLES,

VESSEL

A Constantinople despatch of the 7th inst., says: On September 18th the Turk- ish frigate Ertrogoul, having on board Osman Digna, the heroic defender of Plevna, was iost in a typhoon in Japanese waters. A few dayssince a Japanese iron- clad arrived cff the mouth of the Dardan- elles with the survivors aboard, But no foreign man-of-war may pass the gateway connecting the Mediteraneay and Black Sea. The Japanese commander vainly ex- plained the nature of his mission. He was cooly tuld that he might land the rescued Turks in boats supphed from the Turkish furtreases guarding the mouth of the nar- row channel. This was too much even for the stoical Jap, and he immediately put to sea, determined to dump the rescued sailors into the water where they were found. The Turkish officers now began to under- stand the situation, Cummunication was opened with Constantinople, and as a re-

ault the fastest vessel in the Turkish service was sent after the indignant commander of the

Japanese trigate. That vessel, after crowd- ing on all steam, managed to overtake the Japanese vessel off the port of Smyrna. The imperial yacht ran alongside the Japanese ironclad, and the Turks began a series of profuse apologies for the rudeness of the Turkish officers at the entrance to the Dardenelles, explaining that the inter- national regulations forbid any foreign iron- clad from entering the straits and suggest- ing all sorts of ways in which the matter could be settled. The Japanese command- er finally accepted the apologies tendered him, transferred the survivors of the Erto- gronl to the Imperial yacht, and everybody felt more comfortable. This was a fitting ending to the farce which began with the sending of the Ertogroul abroad in the first instance. She was an old wooder frigate and was under orders to carry Osman Digna on a special mission from Turkey to Japan. The progress of the ship was most ludi- crous. She was short of money and sup- plies, and met with vexatious delays at many ports. There was not powder enough ou board to fire a salute. er crew were continually in danger of starvation. She lost several officers through sickness, and her crew were frequently on the verge of mutiny. After much trouble the vessel got near Japanese waters only to saccumb to a hurricane.

The Bad Lands.

SCENE OF THE INDIAN FIGHTING IN DAKOTA,

THE

The bad lands of Dakota where the Indian fighting is going on, are composed of white clay, which, vy the action of rains have beea cut into hillocks. They are not high, seldom more than 40 or 50 feet, but it is up one and down another the whole way. There are no water courses, the nearest approach being « gully 40 feet deep, with a foot and a half of mud at the bottom. At every few yards you must stop, and, with epade and shovel, cut # path down the side of a hill in order to descend, and then up the side of the one opposite in order to get up again. The mud is as eticky as tar, and in going a few yards the wheels of a wagon become solid round cakes, and all the mules you can hitch to it will not be able to pull it a foot further. Then the spades are brought and the wheels cleared, the operation being repeated two or three times in a hundred yards. The extent of the Bad Lands in Dakota is probably 100 miles from north to south by 15 to 30 miles wide,

The Loss of the Shanghai.

OVER 200 PEOPLE PERISHED IN THE DISASTER,

Forther »:Ivices from Chine, as to the burning of ‘+ steamship Shanghai near Woo- Hoo, in th Uvovince of Nank Hoei, about 50 miles 10s Nanking, show that the disaster was much more serious than at first imagi The earlier advices received stated that the crew, consisting of about 60 natives, together with several European officers, were supposed to have met death ei her in the flames or subsequently by drowning. A terrible panic, it appears, occurred among the Chinese pas- sengers and crew as soon as the alarm of fire was heard and the panic increased terribly when the flames spread beyond the control of the terror-stricken crew. The few Europeans on board the Shanghai seemed to have done their best to maintain some kind of order among the Chinamen, but without result. The targe majority of those who lost their lives did so by jamping overboard in order to escape from the flames; others met their death through the swamping of the clumsily- lowered and overcrowded boats.

A British Pompeii has just been dis- covered near ing, in Berkshire, on the great Strathfeldsay estate of the Duke of Wellington. It is a true city, not # mere camp, and when fully excavated will throw light upon the domestic life of our ancestors of more than 1,000 years ago. The city new being laid bare is the Brito-Roman ‘*Silchester.” The whole area has been free from al] building operations ever since the Roman occupation of Britain ; in fact the soil is virgin, having been pasture land for centuries.
