Tue DECEMBER 22, 1882. Reciprocity.
Raciprociry is what we want. the late government were in power they tried to get it, and failed. would give nothing nothing to give him in return we were shut out of his markets ; joyed all things in common with us, and was happy ; and didu’t **see any money in making a ehange.
But we have taught him a When he abrogated the Reciprocity Party he theught the British Provinces couldn't exist independently of him. We have shown that we could pot only live, but prosper. Confederation didu’t help us much in ‘the task of eulightening him. uotil owr National Policy began to operate. Every year since theo he has lost, as the records show, the profits op millions ot dollars worth of trade, and becoming more

it. which has opened his cyes to the pro- Se aeotn sod Cale Melle motes,
priety of Reciprocity, The operation took up rather more time than we anti cipated; but the strong resolutions adopted by the representative, Commercial meu who met io convention at Detroit. shaws that it has been accomplished at last.
If the commercial men of the North have sufficient influence at Washington, we shall soon have propositions for a re- newal of reciprocal trade relations be- tween the two Nationalities who divide between them the North American Continent
The propositions when they come will nnodoubiedly be met in a friendly spirit. Our Parliament when it adopted the National Policy placed ou record a resol ution to the effect that avy overtures-on the part of the States fora renewal of reciprocity woyld, be favourably con- sidered; and ida memorial to the gov- ernment, lately adopted by the Montreal Corn Exchiange—leading Merchauis of Canada—we™ fiud the following para- graph :
‘That While your memorialists express the foregoing views respecting what would be a present policy in HE emergency that has arisen, they further’ submit that most of, if not all, the obgtemections’ and difficulties agsinst which the produce trade of Canada has has to cogtend for many years have arisen from the want 4f réciprocal ‘trade with the United States, and that while measures neces sarily of a transient pneture are herein’efore suggested, the question forcibly presents itself: Could uot a treaty be made on the basis of thé ome that terminated in 1866, to provide for the uatramme!led interchange of natural productions, the canals free from tolls and open to Canadian and United States ves- sels on equal terms, as well as the navigation of Lake Miehigan (exe@pt the coasting trade of that lake) by Canadian vessels? dn short, the mutaal wants of the trade are free lakes, free canals, free rivers ‘or vessels carrying the natural preducts of both countries, ’
The government and our leadivug men of business being fevorable to reciprocity ou fair terms,we may assume that should the opinions of the Detroit Convention prevail at Vepiog' a treaty of Reei- procity io ‘Datura! products at least will ere long be consummated. At all events we never stood is a better position to re- quire fair terms than we do now.

—The acquittal of Mr. John Thomas Farquharson; who appeared at the Stipendiary Magistrates Court to-day, charged With the larceny of $1, from Mr. AngusMcDonald, will be acquieseed iu by all. The evidence taken showed plainly that the pro-eeutors suspicions were groundless, and that there was not a single thread of evidence to connect Mr. Farquharson with the robbery. The alibi proven was clear aud disiiuct. It couc'usively” shows that not a shadow of suspiciop could possibly rest on the prisoner. 44s 2

half past five and half past
six. The money was in a ordinary sized round cash box, in_ the _ bot- tom drawer of a bureau’ .in my bedroom. The room-is up stairsand faeces
The bureau was locked, and also the bedroom door. The keys were on the one ring. My wife locked the bedroom and I locked the bureau that morning My wife was in the bedroom about half past five, p.m. There was in the casiibox between $1,650 and $1,700. It was in gold, greenhacks, and Island money. There was about $700 in gold twenty dollar pieces. There were about $600 in green- backs, and the balance in Island notes Tnere was a hundred dollar greenback of the Bank of Rocksbury. The balance was in $20's, $5's, $2's, and $1’s. The hundred dollar was conspicuous, It was I would know itif L saw
bank notes were There were also about three five dollar notes ot the Merchants Bank of Halifax:» L_last saw the money at 11 o'clock én the 20th inst. I paid Mr. Morris $50 ont of. it. There was an insurance policy in the cash box also, and a Spanish silver dollar in the middle compartment. There was no mark that I had on the cashbox or money save the 100 dollar note which IL think I could identify. I had the key of the cashbox The drawer was unlocked when the money was taken and left so, The door was also locked and left so. “(Keys prodaced— ordinary keys). A mannamed Walter Ogar was doing some lettering on a blackboard that day. He came back when Iwas at my tea, about a quarter to seven, and told me that the hall door on Queen Street was

The hall from which the door was open has a stairs leading up to the part we ‘now eceupy. The bedroom opens off the hall from which the stairway leads. A person could come in the Queen Street door and go up stairs without being seen from the part of the house we occupy. (Produced the key of the front door on Queen Street — ordinary key.) I know the prisoner Far-

He had | Starr” is expected to arrive to-morrow dinner at one o'clock on the 20th. Hej|from Halifax. With good prices in the
then siid he was going across the river and he would not be back that night. The last time I saw him was at half-,ast two. He did not come back that night that I know of. I mate enquiries and the Marshal told me he did not go across the river. That wes about aquarter past seven. When Ogar told me the door was open I went and nailed itup. My wife then went up stairs, and, returning, said, ‘‘we are robbed.” Farquharson occupied a room on Water Street. It was on a different hall; but we would pass by our room going to his. He had an opportunity of seeing the keys. They were often left in the room doors He» had them to the Post Office once, about a week ago, to get the mails. When I dis- covered the money was taken, I immedi- ately communicated with the police, and drove to Georgetown to the. ‘* Northern Light,” because I heard he did not cross the river. Helal not gone that way. In my house at present there are James McGuire, Theresa McMillan, William Maggs (domes- ties), myself and wife—no others. Far- guharson had no clothes at my place. . He usually went home to change his elothes I also had suspicion. of another named William Taylor. My reason for suspecting him was be-ause he did carpentering around the house. He was not arrested.
Cross-examined by Mr. Davies —I count- ed’ the money that morning. 1 got the gold and greenbacks at the Union Bank, and-the other money I had was the increase of my businesssince. The English gild I had { got from some seamen. I cannot tell all who were in my house on the 20th. Ihad no boarder or lodgér for the last two months but Farquharson. I had a domestic named James Carmody who left about a week agu. There might be fifteen or twenty dined at my place that day. I put Taylor’s name in the information because he had access to my house and was there that morning. I had no further grounds of suspicion and withdraw the charge as far as he is con- cerned. Ogar was upstairs all that day letter-
jing the board. One can go from one part of | the house to the other, upstairs.
Ogar was in a room on Water Street, on the same row as Farquharson, There may have been fifty in my house the whole day, but not from five o’elock. I would not have arrest- ed Farquharson only I heard he did not go across the river. I would not have ar- rested him had he gone across the river, I was not in the room after 11 6’elock; I on leaving the room at 11 oelock locked the door and gave my wife the keys. My wife told me she was in the reom and saw the cashbox at half-past five. I was up and down to Ogar until about four o'clock. I don’t know what time Ogar went to his tea. It was possible for a mau to pull out the drawer in the bureau above the one in which the cashbox was in, and take ‘out the box. . The ‘door of the room had been opened with a key, and the bureau drawer was opened witha key. I did not go into Farquharson’s room. A ‘person could go in from Water Street and up to the room. Isaac Murlev was also in the house that day. 1 think Michae) Power was in, atid Martin McCarthy. It was eleven o'clock when Taylor was there and not after. Farquharson works with his brother buying produce, ete. When-the crossing is bad he takes his meals and sleeps with me I heard he went to his work as usual yesferday
morning. The money has not been dis
covered since. None of the doors in the house had been broken. They all bad been unlecked,
James MoGuire's evidence was unim- portant. Walter Ogar’s evidence was the effect that he wae working at McDonald’s and Jeft between half past four and five o'clock previous to the time Mrs. McDon- ald saw the money safe in the drawer. He ulso stated that, that evening about half
ast seven he went to the boat and inquired

Mrs. McDonatp, testified that the keys were not out of her possession any time the day of the robbery; that the last time she saw the money (was at half-past five; that the bureau drawer was then locked and all right; and after that the keys remained with her; that when Ogar came and they went searching in the other parts of the house, she thought of the money and went up stairs, found the bedroom door open, the bureau drawer forced open, and the money gone.
GrorGe Mason, Southport, (sworn,) - Stated that he crossed on the ‘*Elfin” on Wednesday evening in company with Farquharson and Captain Aylward. He left him at Aylwards, to cross fields to- wards his home.
Mary FarQuHanrson, sister of the prison. er, testifes that her brother, John Thomas, came home an Wednesday evening about four o'clock, remained in the house until he went to bed, and did not return to town until Thursday morning.
The prosecutor then stated that he was well satisfied that Mr. Farquharson had nothing whatever to do with the robbery.
An «alibi being thus clearly proven, the prisoner was acquitted.

An ‘‘ Exporter” Complains. To the Editor of the Examiner.
Str,—It is really too bad thay our daily communication with the Pictof Landing should be so summarily and unnecessarily eut eff. There is no ice ia the Srraita and with open water up to the Steam Navigation
markets of our sister Provinces for ovr eats and potatoes, it is really too bad that our shipping should be stopped at a time when our exports are in such good demand abroad. Yours, EXPoRIER. —_——@-——~—
The Y. M. C. A. Conggrt.
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Srr,—I am much surprised at the letter of Prof. Earle, in yesterday's Examiner. L wish to ask him, is he really in earnest’ when he says that he prefers the singing of the English words to the Latin ? He is about the first musical authority (and ! acknowledge him such) that ever I knew make such a statement. It is well known that the English language is by no means adapted for song as the Italian, and ina lesser degree only,its basis the Latin. Who that has ever heard the Masses of the eminent composers, as rendered in the services of the Roman Church, and always in Latin, would compare them for one moment with the 7’e Dewms of Jackson and Wesley, or with ‘‘ Glory be to God on High” of White, the acme I believe, of Prof. Earle’s ambition. The argn- ment, if any there be, that one singer out of ten doss not know the Latin words, is ridiculous. How many singers out of every ten knows how to pronounce the English language properly.
Yours truly, Drs,

A Reply for “ Elsie.”
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Sir,—Please permit me, through your columns, to answer ‘‘ Elsie’s’’ question, as asked in Wednesday’s Examiner. The quo- tation alluded to ocevrs in Alexander Smith’s ‘‘ Life—Drama,” where it is to be found in Scene II., and runs thus:—
‘* Better for man Were he and Nature more familiar friends; His partis worst that touches this base world. Although the ocean’s inmost heart be pure, Yet the salt fringe that daily licks the shore Is gross with sand.”’
The line in italics clearly indicates that a thorough knowledge of Nature, and an inti- mate acquaintance with the operation of its laws, will not only tend to ameliorate man of our hardest conditions in life, but will also reveal a depth of purity we had not ex- pected to find.
