A Foolish Pretence.

Tuer is something decidedly objection- able and not very straightforward in the endeavor to persnade the tpeople that the Americans really desire extended trade re- lations with us, when it is perfectly well- known that they do not. The contention that the McKinley Bill is » mere passing ebullition of temper, a.mere piece of spite on the part of Congress against the Cana- dians generally and Sir John McDonald in particular, is absurd and ridiculous. Look at the leading newspapers in the States, listen to the orations of their politicians, and there is to be found one determination

-to force Canada to renounce her allegiance and to seek union under the Stars and Stripes. This sentiment is not confined to politicians : it pervades all classes. On the 14th of this month, there appeared an ac- count of a very remarkable interview be- tween Mr. Porter, the well-known head of the United States Census Bureau, and a leading journalist in London, regarding the McKinley Bill. Itcreated a great sensa- tion in England, and has been cabled to this side of the Atlantic. We reproduce it in its entirety, and commend its careful perusal to our contemporary, the Patriot :

Loxpoyx, Oct. 14, 189.-—-Mr Robert P. Porter, the head of the United States Census Bureau, spoke to-day to a London journalist on the McKinley Bill and kindred subjects. After listening to Mr, Porter's eloquent de- fence of that measure the Englishman re- ferred to the reports that America was at bottom in favor of free trade.

“That's all moonshine,” answered the traveller from the United States. ‘I'll undertake to say the United States is to-day miles further away from free trade than you are from a reasonable tariff on articles of luxury.”

‘But Mr. Mundella and Mr. David A. Wells, on your side, say the McKinley Bill is only the yment to the manufacturers for money subscribed for election expenses.”

“* Such a statement is a libel on the intelli- gence of 50,000,000 American citizens.”

** We hear occasionally about a party on your side favoring reciprocity with Canada.”

** Well, Canada is a bumptious and at times irritating little neighbor of ours, who wants to secure in return for a market of five or six million people one of sixty-four million. What C a does or does not is a matter over which the American por don’t spead many sleepless nights. To assume that the McKinley bill was intended as an indication of unfriendliness to Canada @s grotesque. On equal terms reciprocity with Canada is out of the question. The enly way to secure the home market of sixty-four million people is to become a part of the Union.”

“One question more, and an impertinent one. How does it come about that you, brought up as an Englishman, appear 80 staunch a protectionist ?

“I don’t think my being an Englishman had much to do with it one way or the other. I've seen the benefits of protection all over the country. In the Western States it has dotted the prairies with prosperous centres of industry. % the Eastern States it has built up immense industries. Under this system we are rapidly becoming the first manufactur- ing as well as agricultural nation on earth, and when our new Shipping bill becomes a law we shall struggle hard to reach the top as a commercial nation.

**When I was a young man I was a great student of Cobden’s and Bright's speeches, and reading these strengthened my belief in protection—when 1 saw how little their glowing promises were realized.”

Notes and Comments.

+«¢ vor

—Ths Government of Manitoba has de- cided to open a General Agency in Liver- pool, England. The promotion of immi- gration to the Province will be tho chief duty of the agent.

—- One correspondent suggests that the Governor General be invited to take a trip over the railway from end to end of the Province; and another, that he visit our City Schools, including Prince of Wales College and Normal School.

—We call the attention of our readers to the important letter from Mr. W. C. Des- Brisay published in another column. Mr. DesBrisay may not be much of a farmer,

but every one knows him to be a very)

capable and careful statistician. The figures we presents speak for themselves.

—The Halifax Chronicle says: ‘Surely no rational man can now doubt that the present fiscal policy of the government is gradually dragging the country into a se- rious and embarassing position.” Yes. The Government had last year a surplus of $3,- 000,000.

—Many of the weekly papers of Canada have discussed with admirable sense the effect of the new United States high tariff on certain localities in this country. The prevailing sentiment is cheerful, encour- aging advice to farmers to turn their atten- tion to other channels; no gloom, no despondency, but rather ap idea that in the end the new markets will be found the most profitable. We have already quoted the evidence of the Huntingdon Gleaner, a liberal journal, on this point. Now it is the Woodstock Press, issued in one of the border counties of New Brunswick. While not underrating the effect of the McKinley Act, our contemporary calmly considers the matter. Carleton, N. B., sends hay and potatoes across the line. The influence of the new duties will only be temporary in the case of potatoes, while as regards hay, into the growing of which Carleton farmers, aswell asthose in contiguous counties, have been going largely, the result is cer- tain to be an increase of stock-raising, a much much more profitable branch of agri- va industry.

Relations of Canada With the United States and Great Britain.

Principal Grant said in the course of bis speech at Toronto,—

Next to our need of a better understand- ing of one another, is the need of a right attitnde to other countries, especially to our neighbors. In speaking of this, the subject of our national sims comes up. Every great nation has contributed some- thing to the cause of humanity. [hat is its divine mission and the reason for its exist- ence. To that ideal it must on no account be false. What does Canada intend to give to the world ? What faith do we carry in our hearts? Depend upon it, the future of individuals and of nations is determined by their own hearts and their actual posi- tion in this world. Our position is pe- culiar. Since the peace of Paris, in 1763, when Canada, with the consent of all parties, became British, she has remained British. We believe that this was good for the habitans. Otherwise they would have remained under the bondage of the old regime, and when it broke up they would have been seld as Louisiana was. Bona- parte cared nothing for the west. Good for vanquished and victors in the civil war that followed in the thirteen colonies in the south! Cities of refuge were provided in the forests of Ontario, on the banks of the St. John and the shores of the Atlantic for those true Loyalists, who otherwise would have been deported to the West Indies. The experiment of free government was thenceforward to be tried on this continent under different constitutional forms, and that too was gain. Good for the United States ! Their chief foes have always been of their own household, The best thinkers lament that tendency to national brag and bluster, with consequent narrowing of pub- lic life and deterioration of character, whieh success engendered. It is no pleas- ant thing for me to say an unkind word concerning our neighbors. They are our own flesh and blood They are an example to us ina hundred ways. They bave among them men and women who are of the salt ofgthe earth. Ln no country is it more necessary tof distin- guish between the froth on the surface and the pure liquor beneath, between the out- cries that we hea: first and the sober judg- ment and Christian sentiment that find ex- pression later on, between the selfishness of the politician and the calm wisdom and great heart of the saving remnant. Their wise men know that it was a good thing for them that their flag was kept on one side of the watershed of the continent.

The schism that took place when the thirteen colonies broke away from the Empire has been a grievous bar to their ewn development on the best side, and to the progress of humanity. No greater boon be conferred on the race than the

cap healing of that schism. That is the work that Canada is appointed by

its position and history to do, if only it has a great enough heart for the work. How to do it, will tax our wisdom as well as our faith. One thing is clear. We can do nothing, if we barter our honor for some hope of immediate gain. The man who does not respect himself will never be respected by others. Much more is that true of the nation. The man may have death-bed repentance and a future life, but there is no life for the nation in the hereafter.

What is the right attitude for us’ To guard the independence we have gained in the course of successive struggles, and to guard our national as carefully as we would our individual honor. Language is some- times used that looks in the direction of surrendering our fiscal independence to a forelgn power, and at the same time of dis- criminating against our own empire and the rest of the world. The first means national extinction, and the second is as unreason- able and as impossible as it would be for Britain to discriminate against us. The fewer restrictions on trade the better. Free trade would be good for us and better for our neighbors, and next to free trade are fair treaties of reciprocity, but let us not use ambiguous language. Let us not call that unrestricted trade which means free trade with one foreign nation and prohibited trade with our own commonwealth and everyone else. That would ensure for us the contempt of the one foreign nation and the righteous indignation of all others with whem we are now trading. I need say uo more on this, fer I believe that the honor and independence of Canada are safe with Canadian statesmen of both parties, If, however, any of them should waver, the people will not. Outside of the two planks named, tariff changes are questions of ex- pediency, and must be discussed by ex- perts. 1, for one, do not profess to be able to see any eternal principle at stake between 174 per cent. and 20 per cent. duty. Nor do I understand how the sbol- ition of the old reciprocity treaty, the rejec- tion of the agreements negotiated by Mr. Brown and Mr. Chamberlain, or the passing of the McKinley Bill can be considered wise. In every case the action was injurious to the people of the United States. The last named bill will hurt us and hurt them- selves more, but should it hurt as twice as much as some hope and others fear, we shall not loge our temper.

(TO BE CONTINUED. ) rT -ppe

The Lawyers Are in It.

One of the papers gives some reasons why the lawyers-are likely to have some fat fees out of the McKinley Bill. According to section 275 eggs are to pay a duty of five cents a dozen. By section 561 eggs of birds, fish and insects come infree. If a hen’s egg is not a bird’s egg, it may be asked, what is it? It is certainly not a reptile’s egg, which alone seems to be ex- pected from the free list classification. Big cases have arisen out of weaker = The duty on clapboards, too, is likely to cause a dispute. The clauses read ** pine clapboards, one dollar per thousand,” and ‘* spruce clapboards, one dollar and a half a thousand.” It would be thought that the duty was on a thousand feet, but the words would indicate that it was on a thousand

ieces, and this is much ander the rate evied on other kinds of sawn lumber.

‘‘Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that we all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same miad and in the same judgment, "—1 Corinthians 10.

At St. Peter's inthe evening, His Lord- ship administered the Apvstolic rite of ‘** Laying on of hands” to twenty persons— seven male and thirteen females. The Bishop's address to those who were con- firmed was one of the ablest and most elo- quent discourses ever delivered in the rovince. St. Peter's was over-crowded, many of the men being compelled to stand througheut the service and sermon.

Before giving the Benediction the Bishop referred in appropriate and touch ing terms to the late Mra. Edward J% Hodgson, and dedicated the beautiful chalice manufactured from her gold orna- ments and jewelry and presented to the church by her husband.

His Lordship confirmed fifty the parish of St. Eleanor’s an side,

The Halifax Chrenicle says : ‘‘ For something over a week his excellency the governor- general of Canada has sojourned in this city, a by Lady Stanley and the mem- bers of his family. It is not too much to say that during this period Lord and Lady Stanley have made themselves exceeding popular among all classes of citizens, All the viceroys of Canada since confederation have, we believe, visited Halifax during their term ef office, some of them more than once. All the later incumbents have bsen well received, and have aimed to make themselves agreeable, But it is only just to say that is doubtful if any suc- ceeded as well as LerdStanley. He has taken unceasing to visit every institution in the city and to make himself acquainted with all classes of peeple. He has carefully and studiously avoided anything that savours of exclusiveness, nor has he confined his associa- tions to any particular persons or bodies. He has taken in all and tried to make himself exceedingly agreeable in all quarters. And in all functions, public and private, he has been most ably seeonded by Lady Stanley, who enjoys a well-deserved popularity all over the Deminion,”
