OPE tion, Sir Wilfrid Laurier said : and you shall bave reciprocity with the United States, a free market for your hay, a free market for your cattle, a free mar- ket for all vour products.”

The people took Sir Wilfrid at his word, gave his party power, and now we have to «contend with—the Dingley tariff! Never were the doors of the United States mar- kets so fast closed against the products of Canadian industry.

Oa the other hand, the Dominion Gov- erament has repeatedly gone out of its way for the purpose of favoring industries in the United States. The Miniater of Finance deliberately took the contract of supplying all the Post Office stamps and Dominion uotes u-ed in Canada out of the band; of a Mootreal firm, whose industry bas coc: | sequently been ruined,and gave it toa new York firm whose tender was appar- ently, though not really, somewhat lower. While our iron industrv in Nova Scotia is in & s'ate of collapse, asa result of tariff tinkering at Ottawa, we see for the first time sbiploads of rai‘sfrom foundries in the United States landed in Canada for the repair of the Government railways. There is such ashipload lying at the Clhiarlotte- town railway wharf at this moment.

This is the kind of reciprocity we enjoy under Sir Wilfrid Laurier. A Dingley tarit! and a barbarous alien law on the one | hand; the industries of the United States |

i

preferred by the Government of Canada, and the industries of Canada discouraged abd ruined, on the other hand.

Certainly, there is a wide difference between Sir Wilfrid’s promise and his per-

formance!

+O oe THE SEAL FISHERY QUESTION.

Tuk interview with Sir Louis Davies, published in another column, sets forth clearly the difference between the United States and Canada in respect to the Seal fishery. The United States are anxious lest the seal life of the Northern Pacific become extinct; and Canada is anxious lest its seal hunting industry become extinct, as it certainly will be if the demands of the United States shonld be met. The Canadian contention is that the award of the Paris tribunal has been fulfilled by Canadian sealers to the letter; and/that, if so, there is no danger of extinguishing seal life in the Northern Pacific Sza. The United States demand more restrictive regulations, and a conference istogbe held at Washington. The conference will meet the third or fourth week in October, the exact date being left to be determined by the arrival of the British exports from the sealing grounds. Great Britain will be represented by Sir Jalian Pauncefote the ambassador, and Darcy Thompson. fuesia will probably be represented ty a coramission headel by Dr. Martenas, professor of international law at the Uni-

versity of St. Petersburg, who was deleya -

is the chief effect.

London Daily Mail: Sir Louis Davies takes up the suggested re-opening of the Bebring Sea! Fishery Question in no half- hearted fashion; but we would ask hia if he does noi somewhat beg the American contention that sealing will soon be extinet under the existing regulations. Of conrse there 1s the recent Paris Award, and Great Britain and Canada are perfectly

tions of that decision. Mtl. at hardly seems to us politic to feast for five years and starve for the rest of oue’s life; moderate feeding, that is moderate sealing, promises to make that life a longer one. Would not Canada then rather draw, say £400,000 @ year Oat ofthe seal fiaberies for ever than

£750,000 for afew short yeare? Before flinging the glove down to the United

States Lord Salisbury should know his S ] "

Montreal Star: The Klondike craze wil] have an important bearing on the effective strength of the North-West Mounted Police. It was the intention of the Ottawa author- ities to gradually reduce the force until it numeret 600 men, and that policy has been steadily followed, it being now

only about 800 strong inatead of 1000 as formerly. With the opening up of the Yukon and the great rush

there next spring, a good sized detach- ment of those Rough Riders of the Plains will be required there to maintain law and order, and, in the opinion of wester- ners, it is not advisable to lessen the nu- merical strength of the force in the North- weet.

“Not less than 8,000 Canadians are dependent upon the real industry. Sixty- five vessels are employed in whe trade, and for the past three years the average tuking- have been 750,000dols. annually.

“We are not going to abandon so valn able an industry, and with regard to the Suggestions that the Canadians should be bought out, it would require a very strong case indeed - much stronger than has yet been submitted—for the British Govern- ment to agree to give up such a_ national right on pelagic sealing for a pecuniary consideration, however high.

“From the evidence that I have been able to examine, I am strongly of opinion that the fu!l limit of restriction in Behring Sea, consistent with areasonable particips- tion in the business, has been reached by the award regulationa.

“T have no doubt that both the British and United Stetes Governments are de sirous of preventing the dettruction of the seal herd; but the difference between the Americans and ourselves lies in the fact that the former have not accepted in their hearts the award of the Paris tribunal that the sealiug herd—as a herd—is no more
