PREFERENTIAL TRADE. |

Prorasson Roperrson was asked in

Eogiand, s f-w weeks ago, if be would advocate a duty on foreign wheat and other foed products; and this is his answer as reported by the St. James Gazette :

“Well, 1 am not ia @ position to say what British statesman should or should not do in Great Britain. But if some far- seeing man would spare time from party aod parish politics to look at the greatest need of the Eropire, he might devise and apply some policy whereby the bread~and-. butter ef the people wenld be avsured within the Empire itself, even under the worst possible conditions of war. If any | Srutigh leader should become such a guardiao of the well-being of the British artisan and the Britieh labourer as to plan

aod try out an_ imperial policy that would ensure them steady em- ployment at fair wages, he might go a long way (‘o aecomplishing that by

enlarging the buying ability of the farmers #t home and ip the colonies. If a duty were needed for a specific and limited period of (say) five years, half a crown a qaarter in wheat would not add a farthing tv the cost of tle four pound loaf. Such # measure as that would give an mous impetus to wheat growing in Canada money would ¢

that she had never stopped in North Syd- ney harbor. On one aceasion +he

caught by & Jam ot ice Close upon the shore,

but on putting her head to sea and running at full speed she forced her way through the pack. Her frame, sothe Dominion Inapector assured us, is much stronger than the Stanley’s and her engines are more powerful. Whether she would do the work in our parrow waters where the ice

| jamie more solid, we catnot say, but so

far she bas certainly done more than was anticipated, The experience of a few more winters will assigo ber her true place as an ice breaker. Looking at ber in the dry dock in Jobn’s, we noted that no repairs were required after the winter's work. A couple of extra sheets were being putover the stem, the wood planking was splintered a little, but be~ vond thst, and scratches on the paint, there was nothing to show that she had not been lying in harbor all the time. We were informed that the plank sheathing was considered to be a mistake, and that it would probably be taken off to be re- placed, we jndyed, by steel plating. We noted that the Bruce has bilge keels and that from the shape of her bow ehe is nox likely to stick in the ice ; indeed, we were informed that no trouble has been exper- enced on any occasion in backing her out.

Hardly were we clear of. Sydney Har. bour when it was manifest, to the discom~ fortof many of our passengers, that our good steamer could pitch and twist in the face of an eastern sweli, and that she had afashion of putting her nose into the waves in a curious way. But her speed was very |'ttle aff cted and by moraing the water vas smooth. Going on deck for the usual promenade we were accosted by a fellow~passenger, “will you take an eve-

crease in the price of a big loaf is as nothing compared with the good times! which follow the fortunes of the, farmers.”

This declarat'on bears the force of com. : mon senseand prudence. Itis in full ac- \ cord with the policy that has been advo- cated by Sir Charles Tupper in recent years. It is believed in by many of the Jea ling men of Great Britaln, while yet the mass of the Britisk people seem to be wed- deito Free Trade. general election in Canada, it was advocat- ed by Sir Wilfric Laurier; and the people of Canada were led to believe that he would do what he could to obtain it. Bat Sir Wilfrid wen: to England, scouted the idea, and obtained his Cobden medal. We are glad tojnote that, though an officer of the Government of Canada, of which Sir Wilfred Laurier is leader, Professor Rob- ertson has had ¢!.e manliness to speak out his true sentiments in tne interests of Can. ada and the British Empire,

The Minister of Agriculture has, too, lately been talking about preferential trade though of course not in the strain of Sir Charles Tupper and Professor Robertson. In the course of a speech delivered at a lun, cheon in Bristol, a few days ago, Hon, Mr. Fisher saia:

“ He belived in Canada it wasa wise thin? to give a preference to the products éf the ola country in their merkets. Some people thought there should not be senti-~ ments in trade, but in Canada they did not forget that their ancestors come from this country, and they dtd not forget that while they could not, fortheir corditicns

and circumstances, provide armies and

navies to promote the prestige of the British empire to the same extent they could have in the old land done, for the

b nefit of the peo; le there as well as their own, they did not forget that they were connected with tle old country. What they were able to lo was in the matter of trade, an} if it was a benefit to those in the old courtry, they would buy more of the English manufactured articles, and be ttimniated to pur:hase them, and less cot~ ton and iron goods and cutlery from the United States; and they expected from that there would bea stimulus given to the Englieh to buy more of the Canadian food products. ‘lhe Canadians consumed as good articles as they could afford, and they would prove a good market for the Evglish manufacturer.

This is al] very well in its way. But the potent and far-reaching measure re- ferred to by Professor Robertson is what is needed by this country and by the Em-~ pire at large.

—The Domiaion aceounts of last year are pot yet all in. But the atest statement shows an increase of $460,000 in ordinary expenditure of last year over the ordinary expenditure of the previons year.

—The Lord Chief Justice of England said inthe course ofa recent speech : “ The firet thing that strikes one on visit~ ing Canada is itsenormity. I do not know that thore who have not visited the country are able.to realize what its immensity means. I had a very striking illustration of it when I was visiting the Dominion Parliament at Ottawa. A young gentle~ man, not yet 30 years of age, whoa few years ago was a neighbout of mine in Sura rey, came up to mein the Representative House and told me that he was a member of the Legislature. Iasked him what be was doing. He said he had an immense fruitand cattle farm, that he ran a weekly newspaper, and to crown all that he represented an electorial district as large as England, Ireland and Scotland put together. (Laughter and Cheers.) But there are many things more ipteresting in Canada even than its immensity, than the grandee of its rivers and méuatalas, or its great and still undeveloped resources. You have in that Dominion, side by side, two peoples, differing in race, religion, and those traditional feeiings which largely actuate and form national character, And yet you have them living side by side. ‘working earnestly and loyally in the great common task and duty of developing the resources and adding tothe happiness of the people of the country in which they dwell. ”

A foul breath is one of the greatest affi ctions that a man or woman cau have. An affliction not ouly to themselves, but to those with whom they come in contact. A foul breath ie a great discourager of affection. It would probably be m re 80 if people only realized just what bad breath means. Bad breath is one of the symptoms ef constipation. Some of the other symptoms are sour stomach, loss of appetite, sick and bilious headache, dizzi-~ ness, heartburo and distress after eating. These things mean indigestion. They al! start with constipation, and constipation is inexcusable because it can be cur:d— cured easily, quickly and perman ntly, by the use of Br. Pierce’s Plecsant Pellets. They give to nature just the little help that she needs. There is no case of biliousness, constipation, indigestion, “heartburn,” or any of the rest of the night-mare breeding brood, that these little © Pellets” will not cure,
