The Tea Duty.

States against the carrying trade of the Republic. In point of fact tea is brought through the absolutely the
The
reasons why a duty is placed upon tea pur- chased in the States is clearly set forth by
the Montreal Giazette, which says :
‘The repeal of the ten per cent. discrim- inating duty on tea purchased in the United States would divert our freight, capital and enterprise from Canada to the United States and be in direct opposition to the spirit of the National Policy, whivh aims at making Uan- ada the importer, curier, handler and dis tributor of ite own trade. If the Government abolished this ten per cent., and aban loned a regulation which has fostered Canadiaao enter prise, brought foreign firms to open ¢ flices, and offer a healthy competition in our midst, the result would simply le to close our establishments and transter them to New York. Canadian tea mer chants do not fear United States competition if en equal ground, but as the Jatter have sixty-five million people to supply and we have only about five million, our merchants are not likely to import direct to compete against people who whenever they overimport can rush in and slaughter their surplus stock here at any price. Itis to safeguard legiti mate and important native interests that the discriminating duty is maintained in the Canadian tariff, and while the Americans can, without reasonable complaint on our part, pursue the same policy, we may at least in sist that the object and scope of the Canadian law shall not be misrepresented as President Harrison has done in his recent message.”

Notes and Comments.
-The amount of inland revenue accrued during the month of November was $781,- 295, being an increase of $44,869 over the same month last year.
—Tne Examiner is authorized to state that Mr. James Byrne will not be a candi- date for the seat of the late John Kelly at the Board of the Water Commissioners.
—Judging by the representations made to Tue Examiner, the Water Commission- ers could not do a more popular act than supply from the hydrants near by a suflici- ent quantity of water to make the surface of Goverament Pond smooth for skating; and judging by the weather signs and prob abilities, they could not do it at a better time than this afternoon. We are pleased to learn that the water has been turned on
Commenting upon the reported recon- ciliation of Father MeGlyon and the Hoiy See, the New York Press says :—
** Daring his sojurn as a theological student at Rome Dr. McGlynn not only won marked distinction by his superior inteilectu | attain- ments, but won the hearts of his superiors by his amiable and noble traits of chsracter. Subsequently as a pastor in this city he was the idol of bis parishioners, Above all else he has been distinguished by his love for the poor, and it is said that the bulk of his priestly income was devoted to the relief of their distress. His learning and eloquence have given him a national reputation, and have won for him high regard at the Vatican Through all the years of his suspension and excommunication a large part of his old congregation have stood by him at the risk of ecclesiastical censure and even punishment. He has had a large following among the clergy also, though their sympathies have
not of course been so openly expressed. His restoration, it it should take place, will be regarded asa decided victory for the pro-
gressive Catholic element.”
—In Outing for December we note a well-written and interesting article on ** Athletics in Japan,” by John A. Mac- Phail, whom our readers will remember as one of the talented sons of Mr. William MacPhail, of Falconwood. The Japanese are, as Mr. MacPhail remarks, “ the only eastern people who ever indulge in outdoor athletic sports." These are, for the most part, ‘*managed and the contestants are engaged by one person, who pays the ath- letes a salary of two yens o day, which is a little more than a dollar and a half, and defrays all expenses ovt of the gate money.” Mr. MacPhail's description of one of the athletic entertainments is very interesting. By actual tests, the athletes were shown to be of ‘‘an average height of six feet, the tallest being three inches above the mark, as large of bone and as muscular as any other number of athletes who ever went into the field.”
InviTation.—All readers of this paper are invited to call in and see our display of choice fruit, nuts, candies and other nice things {for Christmas. The fioest we have ever imported. We bave too large a var- lety to euumerate here, so give this geaeral invitation to call and see. The variety will surprise you, the quality tempt you, and the price almost compel you to buy.—Geo Carter & Co,
Acency Orexep.—We are pleased to see that the Sun Insurance Office of London (Fire) has opened an agency in the Province. The is probably the oldest purely fire office in the world, as it was founded in 1710. Its surplus over capital and all liabilities exceeds Seven Million UVollars. R. R. Fitzgerald, Esq, is the agent for the Province. Such companies offer undoubted security to insur-
ers. ————@ —

POSTER ANSWERS FOSTER,
He of Canada to He of the
United States. The Minister of Finance.
Mistakes About Canada’s Position on the Canal Question.
A representative of the Montreal Gazette had an interview with the Hon. G. E. Fos- ter a few days ago, respecting the reply made by General Foster, United States’ Secretary of Stace, tothe remarks by the Minister of Finance on that portion ot Pre- sident Harrisou’s message referring to Can- ada. The Minister of Finance said ; ** The only exception the Secretary takes is to my statement as to a uniform and higher tariff Mr. Foster will, however, remember that, as a preliminary to the discussion of a pos- sible wider plan of rec‘procity than that based on natural produc’s, and which Mr. Blaine had declined, the Canadian dele- gates raised the question of discrimination of the tariff and the degree of protection. To illustrate, wool, among other articles, was meutioned, upon which Canada had no duty, and the United States a very heavy one. On this point the answer was ready and emphatic that the United States had io reference to this and other classes of goods a large protection which, under any reci- procity arrangement giving Canada power to fix lower or no duties on articles includ- ed therein, would be rendered completed nugatory. Mr. Foster will not, I think, be prepared to say that either he or Mr. Blaine proposed to reduce their Cuties to allow Canada to admit, duty free, the raw materials out of which manufactures could be made for States’ markets, or admit into Canada manufactures of like kinds as those produced in the United States at lower duties than those imposed on them by the United States.”
SOMETHING HE FORGOT.
‘*The Secretary of State omits to meet my reference to the action of the United States in 1886 and ’87 in seizing and con- fiscating Canadian vessels and imprisoning British subjects pursuing a lawful avocation on the high seas; but he says te United States does not claim that Behring Sea is a mare clausum, and does not seek to re- strict the legitimate freedom ef the ocean. Except in the assumption that the Behring Sea was a mare clausum, and under the jurisdiction of the United States, it is hard to see the reasonableness or friendly spirit, not to say legality, of their activity in seiz- ing vessels therein. Mr. Foster declares that it was not a question of free fishing on the high seas. Canadian fishermen were not on United States territory, or, accord- ing to Secretary Foster, within United States jurisdiction; they were not inter- fering with United States citizens or pro- perty, nor were they violating any inter- national law, regulations, or agreements as to methods or modes of fishing. Yet the United States authorities swept down upon them, se zed them, imprisoned them. In less refined times this would have been de- nominated piracy; at no time should a peo- ple who had committed such acts and not atoned fer them upbraid others for un- friendly and unreasonable adherence to their rights and privileges
“The onlydefence urged in support of the action of the United States by the Secretary of State is that fur seals visit, breed on and again visit the Islands in the Behring Sea belonging to the United States, and that the species so bred is liable to extermina- tion if seal fishing as at present be con- tinued. This may be a good reason for internationsl agreement, as to seasons and methods of killing; but is surely none for seizing and confiscating the vessels of a friendly country on the high seas before avy international agreement is arrived at; nor will any reasonable man or tribunal even, I think, sftirm that the right of pos session of wild animals or birds the world over is vested io the nationality which owns their breeding places.
MORE CRAWLING SHOWN UP.
‘Secretary Foster next shifts the scene and attempts to substantiate the Presi- dent's assertion of Canada’s unreasonable- ness, on the ground that an arrangement proposed by the United States in 1888 for close seasons was opposed by Canada. It cannot be doubted that if seal life is threatened by our killing, it is reasonable to endeavor to come to an agreement as to methods for preserving it. But that is poles asunder from the contention that if one interested party cannot agree to the proposal of avother interested party, there- fore the former is arbitrary and unreason- able. May not the proposition of the other interested party be unfair? Before Mr. Foster establishes his new point he must quote the proposal made by the United States and demonstrate its fairness. Can- ada is quite willing to have Mr. Foster undertake this. It would then be seen that the proposal of the United States has shut Canadian fishermen out from all] participation in seal fishing in Behring Sea as efficiently as though a United States fleet of war ships were set cruising the year round south of the Aleutian Islands, and allowed no craft to sail northwards.
** Under all these circumstances it would have been as well for the Secretary of State to have spared his denunciation of the Can- adian fishermen as ‘poachers’ pursuing and destroying sealers by ‘barbarous and in- human methods.’ Poachers they certainly were not, inasmuch as they were taking free property on the high seas. As to the barbarous and inhuman methods of killing seals adopted by Canadian fishermen, the Secretary must be under a misapprehen- sion. Ifthe seals were able to express their sentiments, I presume they would be as willing to be shot froma gun in open water as to be driven for miles over land with all the accompaniments of craelty and then bruta!ly clubbed to death, as is the case of the Pribyloff Islands. There may be a question as to the wastefullness of the two methods, but not much, I suppose, to their barbarism and inhumanity.
AT SEA ON THE CANALS,
“Mr. Foster is equally afield in saying that in the canal matters the whole move- ment is as evidently designed to force the United States to yield to Canada the free navigation on the Hudson. If the United
vessels the same privileges in the Hudson as Canada has granted to the United States vessels in the Ottawa River. These priv- ileges are enjoyed by the courtesy of Canada and not by the right of treaty. Not only did they do that, but it took nearly six years and no end of corres- pondence to get for Canadian vessels the right te navigate the length of the Champlain canal beyond the first port of entry, dzepite the clear meaning and pur- pose of the treaty.
**Passing to the statement by Mr. Foster that the free navigation of Lake Michigan for ten years was an equivalent for the per- petual free use of the St. Lawrence, which I do net think it was then thought to be, or can be, looked upon now as being an equ valent. I note a more important state- ment. Mr. Foster says: ‘Every attempt to bring about a better understanding of the question of the canal tolls has been met by the demand of Canada that the free nav- igation of the Hudson river shall be thrown in by us as the price of Canada’s fulfi!ment of the simple terms of the treaty of Washing ton.’ The Secretary of State is, of course, at perfect liberty to advance hypotheses, but when he uses them as grounds for argu- ments and proof they must be reduced to the realin of fact.
CANADA'S ONLY SUGGESTION.
** Now, as far as I know, the only sug- gestion ever made on the part of Canada that the canal tolls difficulty should even in part be settled by the United States’ throwing open the navigation of the Hud- son River, was made informally at the con- ference in Washington in June last, and | that suggestion simply had in view the | withdrawal of Canada’s mfusal to grant, rebate payments on grain transhipped at | United States lake ports. This suggestion for a partial settlement having been de- clined, a proposal was made to settle the| whole, not a part, of the questions arising. in the canal controversy on a certain basis. In this basis no mention whatever was made of the Hadson River navigation. It | was agreed by Mr. Blaine that if the Cana- dian Governmeut would make thia propos- ition we would have it considered. The proposition was made by the Canadian | Government in a despatch enclosing a min- ute of councilof June, and which appears | in executive ducuments, No. 114, part 2 as, submitted to the Senate by the President | on July 1, 1892. This is the proposition; |
‘That as regards the navigation of the Wel- land and St. Lawrence canals, the imposition of tolls and the granting of rebates thereon, the same treatment will be accorded to citi« zens of the Uvited States as is given to the subjects of Her Britannic Majesty without re- gard to ports of transhipment or exports, and | that the United States will continue to deal in like manner with the subjects of Her Britannic Majesty in the use of the existing Sault Ste. Marie canal. That the provisions of article 30 of the treaty of Washington, | granting carrying powers to vessels belonging to the subjects of Her Britannic Majesty, as described in that article, be restored.’
A PARTING REJOINDER.
“This proposition contains no trace of any suggestion of a ‘demand of Canada that the | free navigation of the Hudson be thrown in,’ | nor, outside of the informal suggestion for a partial adjustment #s noted above, do I know of any attempt by Canada to make this a) sine qua non, or even a consideration in the | settlement of the canal tolls question. Does | Secretary Foster know of any’? The docu. ments are in his possession and can be used to prove hie wide and unquatified assertion
“The count against Canada for thwarting the copyright agreement made by Mr. Foster is of a kind with the allusion to the geal pros posal of 1888. All depends upon the nature and reasonableness of the proposed agreement. Mr. Foster has not shown that in is fair and reasonable to Canada, and until he does this, Canada is not shown to be in fault.”
