LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

-——_.~»—-

Letter From Hon. D. Ferguson.

Sin,—I listened attentively to the speeches of Mr. Laurier and his colleagues in the Market Hall, and I have carefully read the I'elegraph’s report of what these gentleman said at St. John, and J find that at neither of these places was there any re- ference made to the most fata) of all the objections to the policy they were propound- ing, Viz., that under it we would surrender the contro] of our own tarnff to Americans. it will be remembered that Mr. L. H. Davies, in the discussion before the Char- lottetown Board of Trade in the autumn of 1887, admitted that Commercial Unicn would have this effect, and illustrated the point in a way which showed what an ig- nominous position he was willing Canada should occupy in the new trade arrangement he was advoceting, by saying, ‘‘It is not the tail that wags the dog, but the dog wags ths tail.” He argued that the Americans would be ‘‘arrant fools” to agree to a scheme which did not provide for a common tariff for Canada and the United States.

Since that time there has been a good

ww

Union. Then they changed its name to Unrestricted Reciprocity. But when it be- came necessary to sugar coat the bitter, unpalatable pill they offer it by the names of Free Trade and Reciprocity with the States. The real Jeader of their party, Erastus Wiman, when speaking in the United States, carries no mask, but fully declares the true nature of the scheme, and calls it Commercial Union, No amount of sophistry cau conceal the facet that the trade arrangement advocated by | Mr. Laurier involves the surrender of the control of our tariff to Washington puli- ticians ; that it means, in short, the com- mercial and political vassalage of the people of Canada. It is worthy of observation that Mr. Laurier, well knowing the im- portance of this objection, tacitly admitted its point by passing it over in silence.

Let no man be duped by the subterfuge that it is possible to have Unrestricted Re- ciprocity without a common tariff. Under that plan insuperable practical difficulties would instantly arise. Take sugar for in- stance. The country having the lowest import duty on the raw article, or, as the case might be, giving the largest bounty on its importation, would monopolize the whole sugar business for the Continent, and so on in woolens and other branches of

There would have to be acommon tariff, and in framing it the sixty milions weuld control the five millions, or, as Mr. Davies put it, ‘*the dog would wag the tai), not the tail the dog.” Intent as the Yankees would be to kill out every industry in Can-: ada, and thus drive us into the last ditch of annexation, they would frame the tariff with that end in view. Take pvtato starch as a case in point. That article can be pro-; duced cheaper in P. E. Islandthan in any. part of the United States. The free ad- mission of our starch would close all the American factories. 1 ask how long would | the sixty millions consent to pay high prices for their starch simply to protect the starch business in P. E. Island? Not very long. The next move would be to remove theduty, and then German starch would come into the United States and Canada, and control the market as it does in England now, where we cannot find remunerative sale for our starch owing to the cheapness of the German article. I mention the starch business, not because it is exception- al, but because some of our people appear to be under the’delusion that we could, under an Unrestricted Reciprocity scheme, get full control of the American market, by which our farmers would get good prices for their potatoes. We have now a limited but fair market for starch in our own Dominion, but this we would lose as soon as we gave up the control of our own tariff, We would lose the bone in attempting to grasp the shadow.

The more I look at the policy propound- ed by Mr. Laurier, the more convinced I am that ii iscaleulated, if not actually in- tended, to bring about the annexation of Canada to the United States. The real leader of the Commercial Union party, Erastus Wiman; is no way backward in explaining to American audiences how an- nexation is to be brought about. If Com- mercial Union is once agreed to, he says, American influence will soon become domi- nant in Canada. “If the British Crown objects there will be another Boston tea party, and then we will tell the British Crown that we have no use for it in North America.” The tendency of the whole scheme is towards Annexation, and its Canadian advocates can only be acquitted of the charge of disloyalty on the plea of almost impenetrable stupidity.

I am aware that Mr. L. H. Davies on the stump is not at best avery rational being, and he was especially irrational at the Charlottetewn meeting. I have, there- fore, no comment to make on his Market Hall speech. In St. John, the Telegraph reports him as saying :—

“They of the Liberal party knew what could be done, and were fully aware what proper negotiations would bring about. *

were ready to givea fair trade policy.”

Now, in making this declaration, Mr. Davies either spoke the truth or he did not. Ifhedid not speak the truth, the Liberals have no understanding with the Americans, and his whole speech, and in fact everything else he may say on the sub- ject, deserve to be cast aside with loathing and contempt. If he did speak the truth, then we are to believe that the visits of Cartwright, Charlton, Longley and Davies to the States have resulted in a perfect un- derstanding between the Liberal Party in Canada and the dominant party in the United States. If an understanding exists,

deal of hedging bebind quibbles and) phrases. At first they called their s heme an American zollverein of Commercial

trade and manufactures.

State in the American Government —who is, in the words of Sir Richard Cartwright, ‘the most important man in either public or private life in the United States to-day” —as an authority as to its nature in pre- ference to Mr. L. H. Davies. Here is what Mr. Blaine said not long ago in ad- dressing a meeting in the State of Maisie -

Beyond the frontier, across that river, our neighbors choose another government, another allegiance. They are subjects of Queen Vic. toria, they are loyal to Her Majesty. They live under a foreign flag. They do exactly as they have a right todo. I neither dispute their right nor envy their situation, It ia their right to choose for themselves, as it is our right to choose for ourselves, But 1 am opposed, teetotaily oppposed, to giving the Canadians the sentimental satisfaction of wav- ing the British flag, paying British taxes, and enjoying the actual sot remuneration of Ame- rican markets, They cannot have both at the same time. If they come with us they can have what we have, but it is an abso'ute wrong against the rights of American citizens that millions of men who owe the United States no allegiance, who have no part or lot with us, who are not of us, but choose to be foreign to us; it is an absolute wrong for Con- gress to say that they shail have exactly the same share in our markets and the s»me privi- leges of trade under our flag thatwe have. So far as I can help it, Ido not mean that they shall be Canadians and Americans at the same time.”

This shows what the understanding is, if there isany. 1 have no corament to make on the above, but leave the reader to draw his own conclusions.

Lam, yours,

D. Feravson.

Bay Fortuue Notes.

On Thursday evening, 25th Dec., quite a number of the young folks of Bay Fortune gathered at the residence of Mr. Archibaid McKenzie, where a Christmas tree, got up

by Captain Croucher, who has come from Halifax to spend the winter on our Island, and wishing to get acquainted with the genial folk of Bay Fortune, tovk the op- portunity offered at Christmas times by stocking the tree with presents for all who would come, and no one went away disap- pointed, for when each one got their pre- sents they were glad fur having come. [ may just add, some of the presents were costly enough, costing, I can safely say, from four to eight dollars each, while the presents for the children were Christmas cards, confectionery, ete.

After the presents were all distributed the evening was passed very pleasantly by playing games of various kinds. One game = interested me more than the others. It was called ‘** False Accusation.” During the course of this play some of the young men were accused (whether falsely or not) for having a hand in putting some

a

of the presents on the Christmas Tree.

The evening was most enjoyably spent, and at 11 o’cluck all repaired to their re- spective homes, wishing that Christmas would come oftener than once a year.

School Examination.

The semi-s: «il examination of the Tryon School w « ‘ion the 24th inst., and was highly savici tory to all interested. A mark- ed degree of progress was shown in all the branches studied. Inthe advanced depart- ment, under the supervision of Mr, Nelson Stevenson, solid work is being done. Mr. Stevenson has his work well in hand, and is laying a foundation in the minds of his pupils upon which, doubtless, solid structures will be reared in the future, He has proved himeelf ‘*a workman that needeth not to bo asham- ed.” The trustees consider themselves for- tunate in securing so capable an instructor for the young.

In the primary department Miss Annie Alex under 1 eigns supreme, and hes her pupils well up in the different branches stadied. She has taught here for two years and has won the res of the entire community, She is doing faithful work, which gives evidence of diligence and good discipline.

Among the visitors present'was the Rev. Mr. King, who examined some of the classea in different branches, and a himself as highly pleased with the work being done, and congratulated the teachers on the effi- ciency of their work. Mr Ernest Crawford, now a student of Prince of Wales College, and who received the rudiments of an education in this school, was also present and assisted in the examination and expressed himself as highly gratified with the results.

here seems to be a good deal of dissatis- faction among the farmers in view of the vacation changes. The old plan seemed very satisfactory, the chi'dren be s home during the planting and harvesting of potatos. The people say they must have the children home

The Liberals knew that the United States ik these times, and the uence will be o

eficiency in the attendance, and as a result taxation will follow.
