The Policy of the United States

Our Opposition {contemporaries are fond of declaring that the McKinley Bill has been made to work hardly against Canada merely because the present Cana- dian Government has shown an indispos- ition to enter into trade negotiations with the United States. This statement is not correct. Sir John Macdonald has lately pointed out that, ever since 1854, Canada has been willing to enter into closer trade relations with the United States, and never lost an opportunity of letting her southern neighbor know it. There is at this m ment a standing offer on the Canadian statutes enabling the G wernor-General, by pro- clamation, to take off American goods to meet those taken off Canadian productions. But the Americans show no desire to avail themselves of our offer. ae know,” said General Butler, in 4 speech lately delivered by him, ‘I know that the Canadians are blubbering for reciprocity; let them blubber. They shail have it when they come under the Stars and Stripes— but not before.” And in a speech delivered only a few days ago in Maine, Mr. Blaine, the Secretary of State, declared that, while the Canadians had a perfect right to choose their own allegiance and to keep toit, to re- main a portion of the British Empire, and, if they pleased, to glory in it,—one thing that, so far as he

duties

he was determined upon : could help it, the Canadian people should not live under the Union Jack and at the

same time have the privileges of the l nited

States? markets ;—these they could only have when they became American cit- rons.”

This is pretty plain speaking. It is

well that Canada should understand that the McKinley Bill, and the refusal of the Cnited States Government to enter into negotiations having reciprocity in view, are parts of adeliberate attempt to force us into annexation, to compel us to take part in that campaign, soonjto be,announted, of which Mr. Erastus Wiman be the leading spirit, against British connection, so that in the near future Canada may be under the Stars and Stripes.

But it is not against Canada only that Mr. Blaine is directing a hostile policy. It will hardly be contended by our Grit con- temporaries that Sir John Macdonald directs the policy of Jamaica. Yet the American Secretary of State is just as hos- tile to that Colony as he is to us. Jamaica is to have an Industrial andjManufacturing Exhibition to open in February, 1891. Austria, Germany, Italy, France, and, of course, England, all are represented by

is to

commissioners from their respective Gov- ernments. The only country which remains aloof is the United States. Mr. Blaine re- fuses to take any official notice of the Exhibition. Efforts were made by Sir Julian Paunceforte, the British Minister at Washington, to induce the American Gov- ernment to recognize this Exhibition. But, Then application was made that action

in vain. the United States should take some towards having their e incational methods

represented. This also, was refused We have no acquaintance with the ** political situation " in Jamaica. We do

not know the opinions of the Government of the Opposition. But this we do know: that the Island, amid all its luxur- iant vegetation, its different races, and its chequered political history has not yet pro- duced the equivalent of the Canadiaa Grit

or

politician. We say so for this reason. Although the conduct and attitude of the American Government is well known, there is not the craven spirit exhibited which, we

regret to say, exists, feebly and intermit-

tently, it is true, but still exists in Can- alian soil. There is no calling on the Jamaicans to look to Washington fora

policy, no denouncing the Government of Jamaica tor not adapting its trade re:stions at the dictation of the lobbyists of Congress. But there is a manly, self-relian. spirit to make their exhibition a success despite Mr,

Blaine and General Butler, and Erastus Wiman. The action of the Government in en-

deavoring to open new fields of commercial enterprise is, of course, ridiculed by the Grit organs! ‘‘ There are none”’ they say. Ne ‘new fields! Well, the leading Am- erican merchants and that portion of the press of the United States which does not subordinate the commercial advantages of of its country to Spolitics thinkSvery differ- ently. One of the leading New York papers, denouncing Mr. Blaine’s attempts to boycott English exhibitions, English manufactories, and to cripple English trade, says :—

**More than this, those interested in the Jamaica trade here - that Canada is sharp- ly es — advantage, and that the apathy of the United States will result in transferring a large amount of the Jamaica trade to Canadian houses. Said one large merchant :—

“IT don’t wish to be quoted in this matter, put there is very little question that Canada will reap « large proportion of the Jamaican trade after this. She can furnish about the same products as the United States, and it only takes one day ae to sbip the geods from some of the Canadian ports, say Halifax than it does from New York.

“*We have done a large lumber business with Jamaica, but the same Skind of timber can be obtained in Canada, as well as flour, corn and all farm products If the matter

results as I erpect, the merchants here will have to establish branch houses in the Cana- dian provinces, I know I shall.”

Departmental Changes.

Hon, Hugh L. Macdonald, M. E. C., took charge of the Public Works Depart- ment yesterday. It is pleasing to hear that his return by the Cardigan District will probably not be opposed. It is pleas- ing to noteeven the slightest indication that tho opposition is gaining a little wisdom,

The Hon. George W. Bentley leaves the Public Works in good order and enters the Land office. ‘His responsibilities in his new position will certainly be increased. But he has the advantage of succeeding & very ablejman, who has,{we feel sure, put the Land office in as good a position as it is possible to be, under the system which has been from the beginning, Many of the difticulties which beset former

The discovery of the ever to be regretted ** defaleations,” with which the public is now familiar, enabled the political opponents of the Honorable Donald Ferguson to cover him, for a time, with villification. But the courage with which Mr. Ferguson met the charge preferred against,_him, and the frankness with which the facts laid before the public, have enabled him to pass theordeal of a public discussion triumphant- ly.

Hou. Mr. Ferguson’s retirement is not a consequence of the defalcations. in- deed, Mr. Ferguson would have retired from office long ago if it had not been for

his discovery of the defalcations, and his de- sire to have the whole whole matter cleared up before his successor was appointed.

The Rifle.

Ou Saturday, the first squad of the Char- lottetown Engineers had their company target practice. Though late in the season the day was very fine and pleasant. Some of the scores made were good. Sapper Anderson and Corporal Baird tied for the Hooper Challenge Cup, but owing to the darkness, the tie was not fired off. The ranges were 100, 200, 500 and 400 yds, 10 shots at each range. Highest possible, 160. Squad No. 2 will fire on Monday next.

Communicatica via The Capes.

Sir,—I wish through the medium of your columns to ventilate, and with your able assist- ance to endeavor to do away with a serious grievance from which t.avellers from Montreal and points west cf it now suffer. To make the matter clear to youtr readers I will give my experience on a recent journey.

took the train at the Windsor Station of the C. P. R., Montreal, at 7.45 p. m,. on Sun- day ; the accommodation was excellent, the arrangements for eating and sleeping being perfect, and after a very pleasant journey | was landed at Moncton at 4.45 p. m. on Mon. day. Here my tronbles hegan, there being

land till 10.20a,.m. the next day, At that hour we took the train for Point DuChene and arrived there before the boat, which after some delay landed us at Summerside in time for the evening express, which brought us to town

It is not my intention to find fault with the Steam Navigation Company and their boats.

very well. They have for more than a quarter of a century carried passengers and mails, and so far as 1 am aware, without a casuality to a

single passenger or the loss of a single letter. | Their beats are commanded by two of the most competent, careful and courteous seamen to be found in Canada, and the men they com- mand are worthy of them, They have the | right men in the right place. But what I wish to point out is they have not got the right boats | in the right place. It will be seen by the) figures I have given above that the journey | from Montreal to Moncton, a distance of nearly | 600 wiles, occupied 20 hours and 40 minutes, wiile that from Moncton to Charlottetown, | . distance of 100 miles, took nearly 28 hours | Now, if this delay were un-

avoidable one would stamp a bit, and perhaps

profane persons would use divers expletives,

and then quietly put up with it ; but it is not

unavoidable, and therefore not to be put up | with. Ithink 1 can show how the journey | can be made in five hours, thus practically | saving 24 hours, as there is no material differ- | ence between arriving home at 8.30 or 9.30 of | an evening. One can only partake of some | refreshments and go to bed in either case.

coveriag 100 miles is an anomaly. than an anomaly, it isan outrage on the travel-

it only requires to be properly represented to the powers that be, when it will be remedied without unnecessary delay. Ot course nothing can be accomplished this season, but we must at once commence the work of agitation that the contract for the completion of the pier may be let, an} the material be laid down in the winter, and the work commenced at the earliest moment in spring. To secure a suita- ble boat will not be difficult, the trip being so short, but little accommodation will be re- quired, speed and safety being the chief re- quisites. J may say this arrangement will not interfere with the Summerside route, as there would be plenty of work for one of the com- pany’s boats at that point, and the new boat they are getting, if suitable, could be put on the Capes route. I shall have something more to say on this subject, but will not trespass further on your valuable space at present. Joun T, JENKINS,

The Jamaica Exhibition.

Sir,—The unqualified success which has attended the Provincial Exhibition, 1890, in all its departments—financially and otherwise—indicates that the people of this Island are alive to the advantages derivable from those invaluable institutions. The first exhibition for the year 1891, to which the attention of the people of Canada is directed, is that which opens at Jamaica during the month of January next. Mr. Brown, who visited this Island recently xs the commissioner representsng Canada, has visited the principal cities of the Maritime Provinces, as well as Upper Canada, solicit- ing exhibits for the Jamaica Exhibition,

and appointing agents for forwarding, on behalt of exhibitors, samples of such articles as may be

deemed suitable for the Jamaica market, As all exhibits must be at Jamaica by the 1st of December next, the special attention of intending exhibitors from this Province is called Lo the fact that all exhibits must be shipped from Charlottetown in time to reach the steamer sailing from Halifax, N. S., to Jamaica during the first week of November next.

Parties desirous of forwarding samples of industrial or agricultural products to the Jamaica Exhibition will be furnished with copies of regulations and other required information by applying at my office. Ex- hibits will be forwarded by me if received any time during the present month.

Electric Light.

Sir,—lt is the opinion of many, that the City Council has renewed the contract for lighting the streets without making neces- sary stipulations as to the strength of the lights. It is absolutely necessary that they should be tested, as until 10 p. m. they are frequently very unsatisfactory, not equal to more than 600 candle power. In fact it is doubtful if we receive much more than half the light we pay for. Is it not necessary, also, for the Electric Co. to have the streets lighted earlier than is often the case? For instance, last Sun- day evening, towards seven o'clock, it was very annoying to find the streets dark at an hour when so many were making
