“A Libellous Sta his sophistry—im vain

‘*Destroy his fib vain ( y work again.

The creature’s at his dirt

its slanderous work to

Tur Patriot is at again. Well, ‘ig nosin for a man labor in his vocation.”

With respect to the / libel of the EXAMINER, we have only to re- wind our readers that news of the proceed- Legislature and other news of

-atrivt 3 repeated

ings of the tie previous e also of the morning of publication up to ten o'clock, almost invariably reached our readers in Souris, Georgetown, Summer- side, etc., in the evening. The Local Pre- ch—our out-of-town readers will on the

vening up to midnight, and

mier’s spee remember—was reported to them evening after its delivery—or Some e three days before it appeared in the Pat-

two or

riot.

That there were times whet pt the date—between the EXAMINER

1 there was no

difference—exce Exaurver of the evening and the despatched to our country readers the fol- ; : : } , 1 y Y » \ . lowing morning, 1s undoubtedly true. The reason is simple. There was, 1n the mean- time, no additional news. The Patriot repeats its libel, appar tation of provoking the EXamM- it.

ntly in the expec inEr to take legal proceedings against The Patriot lies—under a misapprehension. -——-- ~ How to Obtain Reciprocity.

Tus Patriot scouted the idea that any Free Trader could, under any circumstances, pretense whatever,” oppose

any Free Trade principles. It was particularly ,xcause he —profess-

severe upon Mr. Pope be iprocal Free Trader—con- taken off of tea,

or vit

ing to be a Ree tended that, if duties were sugar and other comm« vlities, and placed upon United States goods coming into Can- ada, our people would be likely to obtain that which everyone Reci- procity.

We showed that the greatest Free Trader who ever lived admitted that there are

wants—V1Z.,

“two cases” in which burdens may be ‘advantageously placed” upon foreign

commerce, and also “* two cases ” in which the placing of such burdens may properly be a matter for deliberation.

Of the latter “‘ two cases ”—instanced by the author of the “‘ Wealth of Nations ” _-one was that, if a foreign nation excluded us byhigh duties from their markets, it might be ‘‘good policy” to place burdens on their commerce ** when there is a probability that they will procure the repeal of the high duties or prohibitions complained of.”

A case exactly like that with which we are at present dealing !,

Now, the Patriot of this morning says the Examiner does not attempt to prove that there is the ‘‘remotest probability” of obtaining Reciprocity with the United States by the means proposed by Mr. Pope. This is just what we have all along ‘‘ at- tempted” to show. We have shown that the United States, by reason of over pro- duction, is in a depressed condition for want ot foreign markets in which to sell her sur- plus products, and we have argued that if the Canadian markets now — before new channels of trade are found by the United States— closed, or even partially closed, against them, they will make a sacrifice—viz., Reciprocity —in order to have the Canadian markets— in which they annually sell upwards of $51,000,000 worth of surplus goods—re- opened.

We think our argument is strengthened by the arguments used by the press and people of the United States.

A Kentucky paper of a late date says :—

‘A solution of the ‘want and misery’ in this country may be found through the very simple remedy ef injecting the life-blood of foreign trade into the almost silent puise of commerce, Over-production will be the rule as long as the national outlets are walled up by the tariff. Foreign markets will send a steady stream of our products out of the country. Foreign markets can be obtained by enabling foreign countries to trade with us. They cannot do it under the present tariff, save in a very limited manner,”

Mr. Colby (whose speech we quoted yes- terday to show that the Grits had delibera- tely imposed a Protective duty of 60 per cent. upon petroleam oil) argues that Reci- procity can only be obtained by the means favored by Mr. Pope. He says :—

There is only one other subject to which I desire toallude. I should not be doing justice to my own convictions of what my duty is in addressing the House upon this question, if | did not make reference to the following pro- position contained in the amendment :—

** And moving, as it ought to do, in the di- rection of Reciprocity of Tariffs with our neighbors, so far as the varied interests of Ca-

may demand, will greatly tend to procure for this country, eventually,a RECIPROCITY OF TRADE.”

If every other member of this House should go back on the Peagerel contained in this amendment of the right hon. memberfor King- ston; 1 certainly could not do so without very glaring inconsistency, On the first occasion |

liament a8 a new member, as early as 1868, the doctrine which is here by me upon the attention of the Government, of which that right hon. gentlemen was then consider - ‘ation. lurged that a duty of 5e.a pound should be placed upon hops. I pointed out that while the American hop-grower had free access to our markets, the Canadian hop- a five cent duty in the

grower had to meet asked the House, on

United States; and | every consideration of fair play, to grant the imposition of five cents a pound on hops. It was not done at that session, but it was ata subsequent Session, and it is now on the Sta- ‘tute book. I know something about the Americans; have lived among thema great deal; was educated among them, and have al- ways lived near them. 1, at that time, ex- pressed my settled belief, though it had not then the weight with the leaderofthe Govern- ment that I hoped it would have, that just so long as we were prepared to permit. THIS UNEQUAL SYSTEM

by which we are excluded from the American markets, while the Americans had access to ours, they would consider it better than reci- procity, and would not give us reciprocity. That was the view I then took and _ still hold, and I then made use of the expression which has been so much lauded and so much abused —‘* reciprocity of tariffs, if not reciprocity in trade.” I believe the reasons I then urged were sound. I believe one need only know the American character, their shrewdness, their practical way of treating such subjects, to be convinced that so long as they have free access to our markets, and we are excluded from theirs, they will consider that they have the best of the bargain. I desire to draw attention to one thought which seems to bear strongly on this question. I know the idea that we can coerce the Americans, that four millions of people can coerce forty millions, is often sneer- ed at, and likened ‘‘to the tail wagging the dog.” The Americans had found it necessary for the maintenance of their credit to put on high duties. That imposes upon us a corres- ponding necessity to protect our manufacturers and farmers, so long as this unfortunate state of things exists on the other side. There is no necessity for irritation. It will not be con- sidered a retaliatory policy. I think it might safely be said that to two-thirds, or three- fourths, of the people of the United States, this question of reciprocity is to day a matter of total indifference. If we went below the northern tier of States, probably ii we went to the Middle States, certainly if we went to the Southern, the South-western, or the Pacific States, if we asked any man, except a public man, what were the relations between Canada and the United States, he could not tell whe

ther reciprocity or unequal tariffs existed. It does not effect the mass of the people of the United States, who are neutral in regard to this matter. But we have

ACTIVE INTERESTS WORKING in the States of Maine, Vermont and New York, in those sections along our frontier whose interests are agricultural, and who would be injured if our better, beef, wool, horses, potatoes, etc., went to their markets. On that account they are intensely hostile to reciprocity. They want to keep Nova Scotia potatoes and Prince Edward Island oats out of the Boston market, and eastern townships beef out of the Brighton market. They desire to keep up the monopoly of the home market, which alone makes agriculture possible in bar- ren New England. That active iniluence working upon the inert and indiffereat mass of the nation, is what we have to contend against. We have to countervail that influence, we have to create an influence against that. Does the House believe that so long as it could be shown that, year by year, we are taking more and more of their manufactured products, the manufacturers of New England are going to join us in the desire for a renewal of recipro- city, when it is shown that from 1873 to 1877, while prices had fallen, while imports from Kngland had fallen, the only thing that had increased had been the amount of manufac- tured goods which we bought from the States —an increase of some 30 per cent.’ Does the House believe that under that state of things we will get their co-operation? Let them, however, feel themselves excluded and em- barrassed in getting to that market, which they had heretofore used as their own market, then we would find that they have a little feel- ing in favor of reciprocity. So long as the Americans continue to possess all the advan- tages they now enjoy, they will not give us reciprocity of trade. The sound and politic course then to adopt, is to put our duties to where they were before the Reciprocity Treaty was framed; to put ourselves back to where we were then; to place ourselves in a position where we can pinch some classes in the United States and deprive them of some of those ad- vantages which they now so freely enjoy.

I thank the House for the indulgence extend- ed to me, and beg to apologise for this abrupt termination of my speech, a circumstances which is due to the lateness.

Railway Mis-Management.

To the Editor of the Hxeamuner:

Mr. Eprror,—As a sample of the excel- lent (!) management of our Railway I would request you to publish the following : On Mon- day afternoon | took the Tignish Express train for Charlottetown, expecting to reach my des- tination about 8 o’clock, as advertised im the Journal. On reaching Summerside the Con- ductor informed us (myself and six others) that the train would await the arrival of the steamer from Point du Chene, and we were thus de- tained in Summerside until a quarter past six this morning, when the boat arrived with six passengers. We were thus thirteen hours de- tained, waiting for passengers who could have just as well have come on the train timed to leave Summerside only a quarter of an hour after we left. 1 was prevented keeping an im- portant business engagement and put to great discomfort and inconvenience, but if i threaten p:oeedings to recover for the loss inewred I suppose I shall be told by the courteous (?) Railway Manager that I cannot sue the Gov- ernment—just as my friend Dr. McKelvie was told when he tried to recover for medical at- tendance on an injured railway employee.

I suppose I must console myself by feeling how grateful the Island ought to be for such superior management, and how little we appre- ciate all the benefits conferred on us by send- ing aman to show ns poor benighted Island- ers ‘*how we do things iu Ontario.”

Reciprocity. To the Editor of the Kxeaminer.

Str,—One of the ‘ Organized Hypocrisy,” over the signature of ‘‘ A. B.,” has written a letter—full of misrepresentation and abuse of Mr. Pope—to the Patriot. Of course the letter would not be consistent with the Patriot, or the party whose organ it is, without it was slanderous and untruthful. Ido not, by any means, intend to bring a charge of imconsist ency against ‘tA. B.”’ On the contrary, Lf be- lieve him to be cosistent with his Party, his paper and himself, when he writes a letter containing as many untruths as sentences. At present I will content myself with pointing out a few of the falsehoods which are so char- acteristic of his precious epistle.

The writer starts with the assertion that Pope is a failure, The unanimons vote of thanks and nomination for the coming election, which Mr. Pope received from the large and intelligent meeting in Market Hall, gives the lie to the assertion. If Mr. Pope was a fail- ure, the world would never have seen ‘‘A. B’s” spiteful letter. But Pope’s success and popu- larity have filled the small souls of his enemies with rage and venom.

‘“A, B.” says that Mr. Pope advocated in- creasing the duty on sugar. As a specitnen of straight lying, that beats anything | have ever saw. What Mr. Pope wanted the duty in- creased on were silks, satins, velvets, feathers, and decreased on sugar, tea and oil. Mr. .Pope could not see why sugar should pay 45 per cent. duty ; tea, 30 per cent., and eil 60 per cent.; whiie silks, satins, and other goods used principally by the rich, only pay 174 per cent. There are same oil companies and Rings in the Free Trade Premier’s constitnency, and he protects them with a duty om oil of €9 percent. Mr. Pope advocates putting on the ten million bushelsof corn and vats that come into the Do- minion free, as a lever to induce them to grant Reciprocity; and I may safely say that nine- tenths of the people believe the principle cor- rect. Why should 8,000,000 bushels of corn be allowed into this country free of duty, for the purpose of being manufactured into poison- ous drink? Has it not as much right to pay duty, as teaor sugar’? To any person—not blinded by party preiudice—it would scem reasonable and just, that an article that comes into competition with the barley and oats grown by our taxed farmers, should pay some duty. ‘There is one thing we may rely upon— if we ever get reciprocity with «he United States, it wilinot be by giving them the pri- vilege of sending their goods into our country free of duty, and asking nothing in return.

Ar the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court this forenoon, Edward Elworth, drunk and incapable on Queen Street, was fined $2 and costs, or 8 days; Colin Chisholm, for the same offence, was fined the same, and Wm. Duncan, for the same offense, was also fined the same; John O’Brien, sailor, for the same offence, was fined $1 and costs, or 4 days; John McKinnon, Thomas MeWin- non, Patrick Callaghan, Daniel MeNevin, and Thomas Smith, appeared for assaulting Peter H. Trainor. In this case, it appeared that John McKinnon, an employee, wished to force a settlement for his labor with Mr.

Trainor, without giving a reasonable time so to do; and in_ the act of

forcing the same by muscular strength, he was seen to escape from Mr. Trainor’s prem- ises, Carrying away one black eye. He shortly returned, accompanied by three of the above named, and attacked Mr. Trai- nor, who defended himself with a wagon spoke until the arrival of the police. The complainant did not wish to press the case, and they were ail discharged. Mary Davy was arrested for abusive language, by of- ficers Cameron and Shea. Officer Shea stated that at ten o’clock last night, a neigh- bor of Mrs. Davy’s came to the station and said that Mrs. Davy was annoying the vicinity in which she lived, by keeping a djsorderly house. The officers visited the premises, and found three young men and two young women in the upper apartments. On leaving the premises, some remarks were passed between Mrs. Davy and the officers, which lead to « heated discussion, and ended in Mrs. Davy designating officer Shea a ‘Yellow tripe.’ She was tined $1 and costs, or 4 days. —~O8 eo - -
