THEY WERE ALL IN FAVOUR OF FREF TRADE,
but what they wanted was
RECIPROCAL FREER TRADE, The Maritime Provinces of the Dominion were prepared to adopt any corse which would lead to reciprocity with the United States. The American people fully under- stood their own interests, and so long as they were allowed to send in freely their produce and manufactures, they had almost all the advantages we could give them. He was not satisfied that even if this country were to adopt a retaliatory policy, so far as it was in our power to do so, it would be suflicient to lead the United States to grant us Reciprocity, but, at all events, it was the only possible means we had of obtain- ing it. He further would say that, although they might not obtain it now with what they had to offer, still, when the Washing- ton Treaty lapsed, he had no doubt that the people of the United States would re- ciprocate with us, and, in the meantime, he supposed, the five and a-half millions would be paid; and they might have to adopt a policy with the view of making the
American people FEEL It WAS TO THEIR INTEREST TO RECIP- ROCATE with vs. He hoped _ that
the tive and a-half millions would be paid, and that the Maritime Provinces would re- ceive a fair share of it as partial compensa- tion for what they might have to pay to secure reciprocity. He was not a Protec- tionist. He was a Free-trader, but he wanted to obtain reciprocal Free-irade, which would more promote the interests of the people of Prince Edward Island, than anything else that possibly could be done. He stated last year that.he opposed the im- position of additional duties because the Free-trade policy of this Government, as it seemed to him, appeared to lie in the diree- tion of levying objectionable duties from
Call it Protection, or they chose, he believed there was no neces- sity, with proper economy end management, for inercasing the duties at all. The present revenue was sufiicient, and they should so govern the expenditure as to keep it pro- perly within our income. The duties that had been put on were very objectionable.

to make brandy unless it manufactured three times the quantity of wine. He thought that this quantity of brandy would be neces- sary for use, after the drinking of this quan- tity of wine, in order to equalize the results. This discussion, in his opinion, had been al- together unnecessary and uncalled for. The whole subject had been fully discussed. This motion had been brought forward by /Govermment supporters, and simply, he supposed, to ascertain the feeling and sense ‘of the House regarding it, in the hope that lit might injure some members of the Oppo- They wanted no duty such as that This would be the most ob- jectionable duty, so far as they were con- cerned, that could be imposed.

| To the Hditor of the Reamainer:
Sim: The degraded position of the Patriot newspaper, of this city, is unparalleled in the history of unjust and disreputable journalism.
it matters not what the measures may be, or whe the men are by whom those measures are adopted, if they do not belong to the fac- tion to which that paper belongs, are not in sympathy-with the hireling editor by whom it is professedly conducted, then woe be to both measures and men, no matter how good the one or how honorable the other.
The truth of the above is amply verified ia the every day utterances of that delectable sheet. There is not, according to its showing, a single redeeming trait in the character of any public man outside the ring of Grit ofe fiaals, by whom that paper is owned; and, as for Liberal-Conservatives in general, ‘and Mr, Pope in particular, they are the very embodi- ment of everything that is bad, im fact, the annexationist Editor of that pink of political morality ! and truthfulness ! ! has long age ex- hausted his nomenclature of vile and abusive epithets = against his master’s political opponents, and has become so impoverished thereby that he is compelled to turn to them again, with all the fondness that a deg turns to his ———~. Falsehood, dletraction and yituperation are the elements which make up his political stock in trade, the weapons with which he carries on his political warfare; but a contest carried on by such means agaiust justice, honesty, and truth, must inevitably meet with disastrous ciscomfitures, As an illustration of the truth of this observa- tion, | refer to the Dominion partial clection for Queen’s County in 1876, when the whole Grit fraternity, Patriot and all, turned out against Mr. Pope, the Liberal-Conservative candidate. And what was the result? Mr, Pope was npeey returned, and the de- feat awaiting the annexationists and the Or- ganized Hypocrisy at Ottawa, is equally cer- tain, but more tremendously crushing.
The electorsof Queen’s County have learned, by sad experience, to estimate the loud mouth eit professions of political knaves at their true value; they have learned to know that the Patriot is their covert enemy; that whilst pro- fessing the utmost concern for their welfare, it has betrayed their confidence. They (the electors) sensibly fecl that their interests have been sold for a fat office, and a Gov ernorship bought with the proceeds ; and this infamous transaction has been lauded by the Patriot with such exquisite polish !! that it is some- what surprising that the people, instead of nursing their indignation fora future occasion (election) are not rather flattered by it ! !
The editor of the .?atriot professes to be exercised about the poor tax- the poor scem to be the objects of his peculiar solitude. In his pain- ful political anxiety for their welfare, it is presumabie that he will soon hbetake himself to Babylon, and by its lonely waters, hang his harp upon the willows, and solitary and disconsolate, weep (crocodile tears) on account of the miseries of the poor tax-payers. Tue mincing hypocrite. How is it that the Prtriot evinces so much concern about the poor tax-payers; but hasn’t a word to say about the swarm of kid-gloved officials, both native an‘ imported, that swarm the public of- tices like leeches, sucking the blood from the body politic at every pore. How is it that the Patriot has so much t» say about Mr. Po Asylum foundation How is it that the /atriot has so
much to say about Mr. Pope, and so little
‘abont the infamous Assessment Act—an Act
condemned by the country at large—an Act
| passed to provide fat salaries for officials that ‘are not needed, and t build an Asylum with a
i
questionable foundati« n’ These are some of the questions, end others will follow, that we
|intend to keep before the people, certain that
if the Patriot does no; answer them the elect- ors will. Yours, ete., One Wuo Taiyxs. Ch'town, May 21, 1878.
