THE DAILY EXAMINER.
SEPTEMBER 12, 1890.
The United States and Canada.
Tne United States have not only rejected every friendly overture made from time to time on the part of Canada for afrenewal of reciprocal trade relations, but they hav passed the McKinley bill. We must, of course, accept as true the statement of Mr. McKinley and others that the bill was passed with a single eye to the protection | and advancement of United States’ interests | and not with the intention of injuring, in | any way, the interests of Canada, But it) is useless to deny that its operation must, in the nature of things, disturb considerably the friendly commercial relations of the two countries. A number of business connec- tions will probably be broken as a result of it, and much trade that hasjbeen mutually beneficial will probably be diverted into We cannot but regret the | result in prospect. Yetit may be thatthis is but another of the many incidents of recent years which have occurred to make the Canadian people self-reliant and to inflame the spirit of nationality within
other channels.
them. The trend of events in the past twenty-five years must have proved to the| satisfaction} of every that Providence designs North America to be the home of at least two independent nations. Had the United States caused the abrogation of old Recip- rocity Treaty, had not the scattered prov- inces of British America {been confedera-

not the
commercial by this
strong,
nationality, our States would
ted, into one relations with the time be so close, the social ties s» and our folitical situation so weak and dis- jointed, that we could not possibly have resisted a towards annexa- tion. A severance from the mother land, and the British institutions which we have inherited, must, sooner or later, have taken place. But the ‘‘Providence which shapes our ends rough hew them how we may,” has, as a result of the act of the United States in abrogatiag the reciprocity treaty, as a re- sult of the repeated refusal of the States to permit us to renew close commercial re- lations with them, enabled us to stand inde- pendent of the great Republic and to pre-
movement
serve the higher freedom which we enjoy under the gis of Great Britain. It may be that the operation of the McKinley tariff wil}
tend to strengthen still more the position
of Canada as one of the great nationalities of America. In this connection we cannot but recall the words of Sir Richard Cart- wright, spoken in the Drill Shed at Char- lottetown in the year 1878 :—
**They say we must have Reciprocity, and cannot live without it. For the Dominion of Canada I take exception to that statement. While Reciprocity is desirable, we are not in such a state of subjection to the United States that we cannot live without it. We have men and ships, and ‘will carry the war into Africa.” We will find new markets for our. selves and cut them out. There is nothing better calculated to prevent the bringing about of Reciprocity than to tell the Ameri- cans we cannot live without them. It would induce them to believe that they had the power to drive us to their own terms."
By the way, what a world of rebuke lies in the last two sentences for those who have recently been agitatiag the country in favor of **Commercial Union,” ** Unre- stricted Reciprocity,” alias Annexation to the States.

Republicanism in the States.
‘* Harper’s WEEKLY” trembles for Re- publican institutions in the States. It dis- cusses the election bill before Congress, and says :
** Qur system of government undoubtedly contemplates a general bollot. It assumes the fitness of the people for republican govern- ment—their fitness, that is to say, to govern themselves. But that assumption was made of a small, homogeneous, intelligent people, of the same language, religious faith, and po- litical traditions, accustomed and trained to self-government. Thisis the fact, and it is by no means clear that if an enormous an- nual immigration of the worstas wellas the best people of al] countries, races, languages, and conditions, and every degree of civiliza- tion and intelligence, had been anticipated by our fathers, they would have established the same government which they did establish for themselves and men like them. It is not to be assumed that Washington, Adams, Ham- ilton, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin and their contemporaries would have held that a government suited to them and to the British colonies in America would have been equally suitable for Hottentots and Ashantees. §° - * ° The immigration during the year ending June 30, 1890, amounted to 451,219, an increase of 12,600 over that of the preceding year. when the numbers were 455,619. The Chicago America has been looking at the details, and finds that while this was the increase of the whole year, that of the first six months of this year was 24,536 more than that of the corres-
nding months of last year. This is not in itself am agreeable fact, because the desira- bility of immigration lies in the quality, not in the quantity.
But it appears that the whole net increase is of the most undesirable kind. The immi- gration from Germany, England and Wales, Scotland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway, and Switzerland has fallen off this year by 47,931, while that from Austro- Hungary, Denmark, France, Italy, Poland. Russia, and al] other countries has increased by 60,531. While the decrease of the better kind of immigrants is nearly 50,000, it is more than made up by the increase of the worse kind. Such a vast and continuous augmenta- tion of the population by those who are in every way alien to American life and char- acter and institutions is in no sense a benefit to the country. It taxes unreasonably its power of proper assimilation. The movement of our population is toward the cities, and the cities are ceasing to be distinctively Ameri-
can. We are no longer the rural republic of our fathers, and the conditions which made such a republic the harbinger of a better future for;mankind arechanging. Such facts, with the situation iu parts of the Southern States due to the war, are among the circum- stances which make the problems of American statesmanship exceedingly interesting.”
THE DAILY EXAM
New Avenues for Trade.
|
Wutx the United States are doing their ‘best to shut us out of their markets, it is | pleasing to note that new avenues are being ‘opened to our natural and growing markets lin the sister Provinces. The Halifax Herald
| of yesterday announces that,-— | The steamer Mayflower, lately bought by
e|J. O. Read, of Pugwash, from the Intercolo-
nial Railway, is intended to ply between Pug- wash and Charlottetown. This boat will be refitted with new boilers, etc., during the winter, and placed on the route early in the spring. Her capacity is 300 passengers.
We hear, too, that application is to be made to Parliament for permission to build a line of railway from Truro to Point Brule, connecting with a steamer from this Pro- vince.
These new enterprises ought to be wel- comed and encouraged by our people. We occupy a central and most favorable posi- tion for trade with the mainland, and we should ** make the most of it.” e+ ere
— We cannot agree with the Guardian that the erection, on Queen Square, of the proposed monument to J. T, Farquhar- son ‘is simply out of the question.” If the monument be a really good one—such an one as will reflect credit upon the donors—-the proper place for it is Queen Square,
The Exchequer Court.
The Exchequer Court adjourned yester- day afternoon. In the McMillan case Judge Burbridge reserved his decision. The only question which arose in this case was re- garding the value of the land actually taken and the depreciation of the value of the balance of McMillan’s premises. On the part of McMillan evidence was given show- ing the value of all his premises from the | Duncan House corner to the wharf to be} between $20,000 to $25,000. The claim- ant claimed $5,000 for the piece of land taken, viz., a strip across from Prince Street to the Beer property, 112x12 feet, and as damages to the adjoining property. The Crown proved that the whole property was only assessed at $6,000.
The case of Queen vs. Sigsworth, an ac- tion to receive possession of a piece of land | a: Cardigan, was tried yesterday, and _ re- ealted ina judgment for the defendant.
Ww... T. U. at Murray Harbor.
On Thursday even'ng, Sept. 4th, the people of Murray Ha:vor South had the pleasure of hearing an able and interesting lecture by the gifted Mrs. Trenholm of Nova Scotia.
This lady is making a tour of P. E. Island for the purpese of more fully t estab- lishing the work of the W.C. T. U., of which society she is a representative. After holding the attention of a large audience for more than an hour, in which she set forth, as fully time would permit, the object of the Union, the meeting was
dismissed.
Those who favored the formation of a Union were invited to remain. A few did so and the Murray Harbor branch of the W. C. T. U. was duly organized with the following officers :—

The claim for the Crown was that the Rail- way Commissioners, in the year 1874, had | expropriated the land for railway purposes, | and filed in the Registry Office a plan and | description of the land claimed. The plan | and description, signed by the Railway | Commissioners, was produced from the Re- | gistry Office, and, it was admitted, embrac- ed the land in dispute, which it was also | admitted was in possession of Sigsworth, and hod been since the railway was built. On the part of Sigsworth it was claimed | that the Commissioners never intended to
expropriate the land, and that when the | railway was built it was agreed between | him and the Commissioners that he was to | keep the land now in dispute. The Com- | missioners appeared in Court, and on oath ! admitted the arrangement. Judgment was given for the defendant, with costs. Hodg- son, Q. C., for the Crown; Peters and | Sutherland fer the defendant.

President Harrison is reported to be fagged out and unable to sleep.
Mr. Gladstone’s Scottish tour next month will tax the energies of his wonderful consti- tution toits utmost. Three great speeches are arranged for in Edinburgh, West Calder and Dalkeith, while the venerable leader will speak oftener if his political friends in the north deem it advisable. He will arrive in Edinburgh on the 20th of October, and later on journey to Dundee to receive the freedom of that city.
The Souvenir, a journal published under the direction of the Denver Trades and Labor Assembly, contains a portrait of Mr. Peter N. McPhee, and the following biographical notice: **Peter N. McPhee, President Car-
nters’ Union, was born in Souris, Prince
dward Island, March 28th, 1861. Has been engaged at carpentery for past 15 years. Worked in various places and finally cast his fortune with the boundless west in 1883. He has been for past seven years prominently identified with labor organizations, during that time occupying many positions of trust with honor to his union and credit to himself, He was elected President of Carpenters’ Union No, 55 in January, 1890, and is now a delegate from that body to the Trades and Labor As- sembly, and represents his co-Jaborers with much ability. Me is a forcible writer, as evi- denced by his many published productions; a ready debater, and can make himself felt in any assemblage, as he makes up his mind slowly, and when he undertakes anything, his force of character combined with ability can- not but bring success. He is one of the aides to the Grand Marshal on the oceasion of this celebration of Labor Day.

Speaking of Mr. Waller the London, (Eng.) Times says: ‘‘Mr. Henry Waller gave a recital at Prince’s Hall yesterday afternoon, when he once more asserted his claim to a place among rising pianists of the modern school. A programme com- prising the names of Beethoven, Schu- mann, Chopin and Rubenstein is apt to tax the intelligence and the bravura of any artist, and Mr. Waller's achievments showed that he had not overated his power. Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2served as a climax to a performance which never once allowed the attention of the audience to flag.”’.

A human body, half eaten by wild ani- mals and carrion birds, has been discovered in Moran Mountains, at Spokane Falls, Wash. The body is believed to be that of Baron Von Strauss, an Austrian nobleman, who left Buda Pesth, Hungary, two years ago and came to Spokane Falls five months since, after having spent his last dollar.
The Democratic politicians are disposed to be jubilant over the result of the election in Vermont. This state always goes Re- publican, but the size of the majority is supposed to portend weal or woe to the the party throughout the country. This time it is small, being under 20,000, while the usual figure is something in the neigh- borhood of 25,000. In previous years, small Republican majorities in Vermont have beep succeeded by Democratic suc- cesses in wider fields, so that much is being hoped for from the present result.
