| THE BALANCE OF TRADE.

An KEiector’s Opinion. To the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir—In yesterday’s Patriot I notice an article on the ‘‘Balance of Trade,” wherein the writer says that it is a phrase little un- derstood. 1 admit few understand it in the same sense as the financial editor of the Putriot. It was always held by political economists and others conversant with the subject that when a country exported more than it imported it was in a prosperous con- dition. It is natural that the exports should at least pay for the imports, otherwise the country is going in debt. But the Patriot has knocked this doctrine to the winds and il- lustrates its position as follows: ‘‘Suppose,” says the Patriot “that Peake Bros. & Co. send home a new ship worth $40,000, her cargo of oats and deals worth $20,000, mak- ing in all $60,000. They sell the ship for $50,000 and the cargo for $30,000, thus realizing $80,000, which they invest in goods ; bring them here and are entered at the Custom House as imports $80,000, while the export entry only stood $60,000, show- ing a balance of trade against the Province of $20,000. Yet the $20,000 profit made by Peake Bros. & Co. is added to the wealth of the Province.” I admit this is an ingenious method of putting the case. But let us examine it and we shall soon see the fallacy of the argument.

In the first place, the Patriot must admit that Peake Bros. & Co., as shrewd business men, would not import more goods than was required by the trade of the country. Therefore it must be conceded that $80,000 worth of goods was really necessary. Again, let us suppose, and which is not improb- able, that the new ship only sold for $45,000 and the cargo for $25,000, making in all $70,000, and clearing for the Messrs. Peake $10,000,—which is a very good transaction these hard times,—they would have to go in debt $10,000 for the purchase of the goods required by the people of this country, thereby adding $10,000 to the debt of the Province.

Does the Patriot not see the absurdity of its argument? But let us suppose this transaction to occur a few years hence, when this Dominion shall be governed by wise and able statesmen like Sir John A. McDonald, Dr. Tupper, J. C. Pope and Mr. Tilley ; when a judicious re-adjustment of the tariff shall have given an impetus to our manufactures; when new industries shall have been opened up, giving employ- ment to our laborers and mechanics, and we shall see how different the result will be. Of the $80,000 worth of goods required by the people of the Province, $40,000 worth will be manufactured at home; and the Messrs. Peake Bros. will be enabled to bring home in cash $40,000, go to the sugar refinery, which will be flour- ishing in Halifax, and purchase their sugars, go to theiron mines at Londonderry, N. 8., and buy their iron. Ina word, go to the manufacturers of the Dominion, and purchase the goods required by their cus- tomers,—thus spending the $4,000 cash at home, which otherwise would have been spent in England or elsewhere.

[trust that this view of the question will set the editor of the Patriot thinking— as judging from his articles on the trade question, he thinks very little about it. I hope he did not get this new idea from the great ‘‘ MuDDLER AND MeppLer’—as it it would be ungenerous for Mr. Cartwright to put his faithful apolegist in such a ridicu- lous position.

GRIT UNFAIR PLAY.

A Belfaster’s Opinion.

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Str,—The Grft faction in the city of Charlottetown seem to be terribly aggravat- ed because the independent electors from the country called on Mr. Brecken to ad- dress them after Mr. Cartwright had fin- ished his speech. The editor of the Patriot has been telling the people all along that the Hon. J. C. Pope was deceiving the electors on the Trade Question, and that he would not repeat what he has been saying in the presence of McKenzie. Well, sir, what do we find? The Hon. Alexander McKenzie and the Hon. R. J. Cartwright came down to the Island as the champions of Gritism. A meeting is called for the dis- cussion of Dominion politics; Popeand Breck- en attend the meeting, and notwithstanding the fact that they were chosen as the Liber- al-Conservative standard bearers for Queen’s County, by one of the largest Conven- tions ever heldin Charlottetown fora similar purpose, and that country gentlemen were largely in the majority at that Convention, yet, sir, they were denied a hearing, which to my mind, is positive proof that the Grits have been deceiving the electcrs, and wished to cover up their deception by closing the mouths of their opponents. We went there with the expectation of hearing both sides of the question; and it was no little disap- pointment after travelling so far to be told by the Chairman, who is a Grit living in the city, that their party had concluded to let none but Grits speak. Mr. Editor, is not L. H. Davies the man who taxed us

hot supporter of the Grits! If he thinks that his actions in the Drill Shed, or his preventing Mr. Brecken from address- ing the countrymen, who wished to hear him speak, is going to help Mr. McKenzie, who robbed us of a Cabinet Minister,or Mr. Cartwright, who stands as the malignant defamer of Highland honor, he is very much mistaken.

Mr. Editor, [ am a countryman, and I would like to ask my fellow-countrymen if tactics, on the part of the Davies clique in Ch’town, is going to prevail amongst them. We will not forget the insuit Mr. Cart- wright offered to our race, when he spoke of us in Upper Canada, as thieves; and said it was a national trait of character for which we were remarkable. Mr. Editor when Cartwright stands shuddering in the cool shades of political oblivion, Highlanders will be able to hold their heads proudly erect, with a conscious feeling that they have been wantonly insulted and meanly traduced; and R. J. Cartwright will ex- perience what it is to trifle with Highland honor, and learn the cost of casting a stigma on a great and noble race. Fellow countrymen, are we going to allow such an insuit on our race to pass with impunity / Have we not been insulted, vilified and de- nounced by the very man to whom the Editor of the ‘‘ Patriot” and L. H. Davies bow in humble submission. We will not forget this, and when the proper time comes we will return to Ottawa Messrs. Pope and

Brecken. We will not see the country on the very verge of ruin with- out uniting to redeem it from

the grasp ef an Organized Hypocrisy— an organization which is doomed to fall by the voice ef the people. Night’s veil hangs low upon them. The wail of public con- demnation is passing over the land that will ultimately hurl them from power, and by which they will learn the cost of betray- ing the confidence reposed in them and proving false to every principle of public honor. We countrymen at this end of the County are waiting for Messrs. Pope and Brecken to come down and explain the policy of the Opposition, as we think Cart- wright the wrong person to do so, remem- bering that the Toronto Globe cailed him the ‘‘ mixer and muddler.” We believe that the policy of McKenzie & Co. is against the best interests of the country, and that Messrs. Pope and Brecken are the best men to send to Ottawa, and will do all we can to return them as our representa- tives, as we are bound that the Grit faction in the City—headed by Davies and the overstocked Railway ofticials—are not going to lord it over the free and intelligent electors from the country.

Trusting, Mr. Editor, that you will con- tinue to show up the Davies faction, I re- main

Some ferocious characters must live in St. John and vicinity. The Freeman says that a Portland man named John Drum- mond assaulted his wife on Wednesday afternoon, throwing her down and attempt- ing to tear out her windpipe with his teeth. i —————

A Younc Farwer.—A Montreal de- spatch says: Mr. Grindley, Manager of the Bank of British North America, who supposed that his 16 year old son was drowned in the St. Lawrence some three days ago, and has had men looking for the body since, has received a communication from a lady to the effect that he is on his way to Colorado to engage in farming. He has $150 of his own earnings.

ee

A Wuoprer.—Some Grit has been stuff- ing the Charlottetown ‘‘Patriot.” Speaking of the meeting in the Drill Shed in this city, the ‘* Patriot” says :—‘‘ We were in- formed by a gentlemen who was present that a more enthusiastic meeting he never attended, and that those who listened at the windows and who went away unable to gain admittance, would form an audience larger than that which usually greets public men.” Uartwright couldn’t ‘beat that. Jones might.—Hx. Reporter.

Hauiray has a curiosity in a three-legged colt—and is accordingly happy. The colt is well formed other than the missing leg, and is of good size for its age. The “Herald thinks Barnum will have the animal before a great while. The Moncton Times says perhaps Sir A. J. will get ahead of Barnum and purchase the animal and have it on ex- hibition at his next pic nic that he may se- cure the boasted crowd of ‘‘3,000 to 4,000” for an audience. This act would be an actual kindness to the Grit editors, saving them from much lieing and bettering their chances in the hereafter. We merely throw out the suggestion for what it is worth.

Canadians, of course, will not forget the exhibition which is to take place in Sydney, Australia, twelve months hence. It is ve important that the products of the Domin- ion should be well represented on that oc- casion. There is abundant time for prepara-

‘tion, but it is as well to keep the matter in

mind. An interest has already been creat- ed among our distant fellow-subjects in Canadian produce and manufactures, and, with proper exertion, there is no reason why this interest should not be maintained and turned to profitable account.—Mon- treal Gazette,
