AGITATION IN ENGLAND FOR RECIPROCITY.

“ Let Our Watchword also Bo Reci- procity.”

Tur Birmingham (Eng.) Weebly Post, of 16th inst..contains an accotnt of the organ- with Lord Bate

‘“ The Central] which is rapidly manufacturing

zation of an association,

President, called

man as Reciprocity League,

‘ ae spreading in all the great

centres. Its object may be

from the following extract >

‘The address ottributes to foreign compe- tition the cause to a very great extent ot the existing depression in trade, and continues : ‘« {tis an undeniable fact that the markets for our manufactured goods are being day by day manipulated by foreign traders, who seize the advantaves offered them by our present free trade system, which allows them, wnrestricted, to choke our markets with their goods, and, as a natural censequence, replacing our own. There is no denying the fact that French and German locomotives run on our railways, that tramears made in New York run in the streets of Wolverhampton and other towns ; that thousands of tons of iron pillars and girders, rails, and iron in all forms, are continually ar- riving from Belgium, and that the hardware aad jewelry trades of Birmingham are para- lyzed by the enormous importations from America and France. The lockmakers of Wolverhampton and Willenhall feel the serious effects of locks imported from the same countries. ‘The Stafford and Northamp- ton bootmakers are being robbed of their legi- timate markets from the same sources, ‘The Shefiield cutler stands aghast at the severe ¢ mpetition he is compelled to face ; in fact, there is no branch of our industry that is not affected by the vast influx of foreign-made articles, which are sold in our markets, and take the place of articles which would be made in this country ; and our own manufacturers and artisans would be the recipients of the benefits accruing therefrom if we were to im- pose the same import tariff they would impose on our goods going into their ports.” After pointing out that our yearly exports have de- ereased, that our imports are largely in excess of our exports, and how ditferent in the latter respect is the case in America, the address proceeds: ‘* What is there to hinder us from adopting the same system existing in America? That is, they allow all kinds of un-manufactured products to enter their ports free of tariff.” The address asks the working classes to come forward, and ‘‘let their watchword be Reciprocity,” and never cease agitating until they have obtained it.”

best known

Branches of the League are formed in 3irmingham, Wolverhampton, Sheflield and the manufacturing towns in Lancashire, and as its objects become more widely known and the eflects of foreign competition mere widely felt the adoption of the principle of ‘reciprocity of tariiis’” will make rapid pro- vress even in “Free Trado England.”

There could not be a more forcible en- dorsement cf the statesmanlike views of the leaders of the Liberal-Conservative party in propounding their National policy than this agitation in England for reciprocity of trade or reciprocity uf tariffs instead of one-sided free trade.

a a The “Patriot” and Sir John. ee

Tue elder dame of the Patrivt feels cross because we bring her to task for being “‘un- truthful.” She says that she has taken Sir John A. McDonald’s ‘‘ public utterances” as her ‘authority.’ What we charge home to the Putriot is gross misrepresenta- tion of the utterances of Sir John. Sir John’s publicly declared policy is being daily misinterpreted by our contemporary. But nothing that the Grit organs can con- coct will serve their purpose. The people are too intelligent to be gulled by side issues and false promises. They look at the important questions involved, as be- cometh a free and independent people ; and the Ballot—which will rid them of the in- timidation of ox swappers,—will soon show that the electors of this New Dominion are men who prefer to foster and encourage the resources and industries of their own country, rather than keep a party in power whose fixed policy is to enrich a strong border nation at the expense of our

own people.

Dovelopement of United States Iron Industries.

Tur production of Besseme Steel Rails in the United States, during the year 1867, was 2,500 tons. During the year 1876, ten years later, with the iren industries of the United States and England almost pros- trate, the production in the States was 482,- 169 tons.

The United States to-day supplies nearly every civilized nation, except Great Britain, with locomotives.

Where would these industries have been to-day without encouragement in their early stages? And how long will it be, at the present rate of progress, before the large iron deposits of Nova Scotia are developed as they should be,—employing thousands of hands, and furnishing a sure market, for such P. E. Island produce as will not bear exportation to Europe, right at our door ?

The Regatta. pions ay Tire regatta, under the auspices of the t Boating Club, came olf on

Charlottetown 7 The weather was

the Hillsborough to-day. — v very pleasant, but the wind did hot rise favorable for the sailing races. From an early hour the harbor presented a most animated [appearance. Along the channel our ‘foarie” sportsmen glided about with surprising rapidity, awiting their call to contest ; while all parts of the river were thickly dotted with the white sails of the pleasure and race-boats. The grand stand, wharves, steamers and outlying vessels were crowded with spectators, who watched the races with undying interest. At ten o'clock Galbraith’s Band marched through the streets ; and, shortly after their arrival en Pownal Wharf, the four-oared shell race started. For it there were three entries, as follows :

Evrrres.— Unknown — W. L. stroke: Thomas Robins, bow; F. No. 1; Daniel Davies, No. 2.

Lady Fulton—-John Hales, stroke; Fred. Crabbe, bow; James Colwell,No. 1; Nathan Davies, No. 2. ;

Beaconsfield—Aneas Wallace, stroke ; Charles Fuller, bow; Cyrus Stewart, No. 1; John MeDonald, No. 2.

At the start all went of in a bunch. Unknown having the outer position, led vith a little advantage. She gained con- siderably, and shortly led by a length, with

Dear, 1.. Dean,

Lady Fulton second, and Beaconsfield third. They held this position till the

bnoys, when the Unknown lost two lengths of her lead, having mistook her buoy. Zeaconsfield was closing well up, but, un- fortunately, the rudder string broke, and she was compelled to keep third position to the finish. Unknown coming first, and Lady Fulton second. Time—20 min. 10 sec,

Shortly after the finish of the shell race the <two-oared boys’ race was called. There were four entries for this race. ‘The follow- inv is the result:

known. For the start Beaconsfield and Rough and Ready took close

positions, and, after the word ‘go,’ they closed and fouled, Unknown, made ready spurts; and, before the others were righted, lead by several lengths. She sicered badly, and before they reached the buoys, Rough and Ready took first position, and Beaconsfield second, and kept them to the finish. Time 24.40.

Ist, Rongh and Ready—Walter Patter- son. stroak; Fredk. McKay, bow; C. Bourke, No. 1; George Morris, No. 2. Prize $16. 2nd, LBeaconstield—John Joy, stroke; Peter McMahon, bow; James Blake, No. 1; C.

There were three contestants in the single scull race, ‘‘ John Coney ” by W. L. Dean ; ‘* Union Jack” by John Hales ; and ‘‘ Brown ” by F. Crabb. They got a good send off, ‘* John Coney” leading, closely followed by ‘* Union Jack,” ‘¢ Brown ” far in the rear, ‘‘ Coney” in- creased his lead to thirty lengths at the finish, *‘ Brown ” in the rear, not visible when the first gun was fired. Dean takes first money, $30 ; Hales, second, $15.

The ‘‘ Marquis of Lorne” led, followed by the Ferry Boat, ‘‘ Agate” and the Wat- er Boat in a bunch. The Ferry Boat passed the first buoy ahead of the ‘‘Marquis of Lorne,” but went ashore at Rocky Point. ; The ‘* Marquis” again led, pursued y the Water Boat, which was closely followed by the ‘‘ Agate.” ‘The ‘* Marquis” passed the second and third buoys a great distance ahead of the Water Boat, and entered the home stretch half an hour before the others. She took first money, Water Boat second and the ‘‘ Agate” third. The Ferryboat re- mains stranded up to the present. FOUR-OARED GIG RACE,

Tue Patriot eensures the supporters of Dr. McIntyre who, it admits, were cnilty of ‘violence and riot” at Souris on Friday evening last. At the same time it ondeavers to class the Liberal-Conservative electors of Charlottetown—many of whom supported L. H. Davies when he was returned —under the same category. But cid any one in Charlotietown pelt stones at the Premier's head? Was there a blow struck in Char- luottetown ? Did any one in Charlottetown how! like a dog? Did the noises made in Charlottetown resemble those which would be made by ‘‘ten thousand devils’? Was fair and free discussion offered by the Grits in Charlottetown as ib was by the Liberal- Conservatives in Souris? Was Mr. Brecken or any of his friends in Charlottetown in- vitod to come forward and combat the views of the Finance Minister, as Dr. Mcintyre was invited to come forward and combat the views of Messrs. Brecken and Pope in Souris? Nothing of the sort. The two disturbances had nothing whatever in com mon. In Charlottetown the Liberal-Con- servatives contended for fair play—which was denied them by the Local Premier and his. followers. In Souris the Grits were given every advantage they could desire. Yet the Patriot is fain to admit they were guilty of violence and riot.
