(Montreal Gazette. )

There is a very important difference between a reciprocity treaty and the scheme of commercia) union which Myr.’ Butter- worth and Mr. Wiman have designed for adoption by Canada and which some Canadians are found to favor. Regiprocity may be desired in the interests. of, both Canada and the United States. It implies simply that for considerations of mutual and equal advantage, each country gives to the productions of the other special privi- leges as to entry for consuiaption within its territory, neither abdicating its right of control over its tariff in respect of all othe articles from whatever source they may come. Each nation retains its perfect autonomy. Each stands in the contract as equal, yielding to the other no right of interference in its affairs, being guided in its tariff legislation in all matters unaffected by the treaty solely by considerations of its own interests: Commercial union, on the contrary, implies entirely ditferent condi- tions. The custom houses along the frontier are to be ab lished, and for all commercial purposes the boundary line will be blotted out. A coramon tariff will be adopted and enforced against the gvods of all other natious. To secure this, one country must give way tothe other, must torego certain of the rights that pertain tu

Commercial Uusion and Reciprocity | givods than he does to-day, and would pot

be benefited in his purse by the proposed change. The manufacturer and the mer- chaut would, however, be placed at a dis- advantage, in that they would have to adapt their business to new conditions,sub- ject to arbitrary chang@at the will of a. Government in the selection of which taey would have no voice; and which coulef only be resisted at the risk of an an abrog “ation of theagreement that would have been entered inte, and a fresh disturbare of everything affecting trade and its ma’ \ge- ment. Canada may be ready enought \e- gotiate a reciprocity treaty, but she is | * prepared to accept commercial union \ | all that it implies in the wa y of surre? io of control over its affairs and abdication of the rights of nationhood. i -<2>- <a The Fisheries Question.

A blue book just published contains a full hiswory of the fisheries question from its inception in. 1783 down to the present time, and a review of the principal features of the Treaties of Paris, of Ghent and of 1818, the Treaty of Reciprocity and the Washington Treaty. It puts upon the United States the responsibility for the abrogation ot theWashington Treaty, and takes the ground thatthe Dominion Gov- ernment had no option but to adopt ztrin g- eut measures for the protection of Canad- lan rights. The force employed during the

it asa nation, and abdicate certain of its functions as a self-governing community.

In this case itis proposed, of course, that, Canada should take the minor role, that we! shall in effect adopt the United States tariff, and receive from the United States Government a sum calctlated upon the amount of dutiable articles, coming from the countries outside of the United States,

that we should consume. Granting that all the difficulties that would arise in arriving at a basis for this cal

culation and they will suggest them- selves tu everyone—can be overcume,

the question presents itself: . Is Canada prepared to take the step that would be required of her/ Wesay no; emphatically no! What would our position be in case commercial union were accepted’ We would be neither a nation, of ourselves, ner a part of the nation to which we were in half alliance. We would have given away the right to direct our own affairs in cer- tain most important matters. Our means of raising revenue would be in the control of » Goverument having interests separate and distinct, and perhaps hostile to ours. Did we require, for however urgent a pur- pose, tv increase ourincume the readiest and p.ost equable methods of levying taxa- tion, the Customs and excise duties, could not be re-arranged. Did we desire to ree mit to the people certain of their burdens, the power to do so could be exercised only at the will of and when the United States were prepared to act towards their people

in like manner. We would be jess an in- dependent nvtion thana subsidized pro- vince of the United States, and the whole

tendency of our relations with our unequal yokefellow would be towards absorption in- to the greater Uniou, It was net in view of such a fate that our Confederation was formed, and the great works, and the great burdens they necessitated for the develop-

ment of its various parts were undertaken

We do not believe our people will agree to any such change as is now being pushed into their notice by men whose interests are not our interests, and whose hearts with their treasures are in auother land. The members of the Toronto Bvard of Trade showed that they appreciated this. While ready to accept reciprocity they were nut prepared to give their adtesion to the scheme that had been brought before them, looking toa reyelution in the conditions under which Canada has achieved its greatest development. It is being sought to detract from the force of this by telling the people that Toronto is a manufacturing centre, and that her voice is that of the manufacturers. The ele- megt in our politics also which has syte- maMcelly opposed Canadian manufacturing development is that most in favor of com- mercial union, which it admits is not cal- culated to benefit Canadian cities, but claims will be altogether to the advantage of the agriculturists, There is a failure to prove this position, however, or even of attempt at proving it. Mr. Wiman says so and so, and all the others echo it. But the facts do net by any means bear out this theory. The bulk of Canadian agricultural produce exported goes not to the United States but to Great Britaico, as alsu dves the largest proportion of the agricultural exports of the United States. Leaving out the items of horses, barley and potatoes, which do find their chief market to the south of the boundary, the United States and Oanada stand to each other not in the relation of buyer and seller, but as rivals tn the markets of the world. = This is true of dairy produce, of cattle and of grain. Of these Great Britain tooky,in 1835-6 $22,543,936 of the total of $9,718,212, and of the balance « fair proportion wen! to countries Whose markets’ take*their tone from hers. The price was fixed by con- ditions affecting the trade of London and Liverpool, just as was that of United States products of the same kind. It cannot be pretended that any modifiaation of the customs tariff would enlarge the United States demand for this elass of vur goods -

that New York will ever be a great con- sumer of Canadian cheese, that while New England exports sheep beef and beef cattle to England, ours will be purchased at a higher rate than can be obtained at home | for the same destination,or that the pro- ‘ducts of our wheat tields will be purchased ata bigher rate for use in the Eastern | States than these.cf their own No-:thwest. In | all these the United States are like ourselves, ‘sellers, not buyers in the world’s markets Whatever our tariff, Great Britain would continue to be the destination of the greater proportion of our surplus yield; its markets would still govern ours and ‘those of the United States. The Can

past year for the protection of the inshore tisheries of Canada consisted of two iron steamers and six schooners, having a force of 206 men. This force was employed until the close of the season cruising about the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Magdalen Is- lands, Bay des Chaleurs, and about the coasts of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Three United States vessels were seized during the last year for vio.ation of the treaty rights, one of whieh, the Highland Light, was condemned and sold, and subsequently purchased by the Canadian Government to be used a sruiser. 2 Ml <p — ~ Lightning's Freaks.

A remarkably heavy thunder, lightning and rain storm prevailed in Woodstock, N. B., on Wednesday. Torrents of rain tivoded the streets for some time. — Light- ning struck Gideon Jackson's house, in the southern part of the town. The current came down the kitchen, broke through and followed the kitchen stove pipe, smashed the stove into fragments and broke through the floor, leaving an opening of about a squave yard, tearing the flooring up in all directions. Mrs. Jackson, her daughter and Mr. Jackson's sister were in the room at the time, and strange to say, were not seriously injured, though each suffered a severe shock. Mrs, Jackson was within a yard of where the lightning made the large aperture ‘n the floor and was hurt in the cheek by the flying fragments of debris. Miss Jackson was injured on one limb. The adjoining room was badly wrecked.

Foreign Divorces.

The opinion of the Government with refer- ence to foreign divorces was announced by Mr. Abbott in the Senate the other day when the third reading of the bill for the relief of Susan Ash was moved. Mr. Abbott said thet a divorce obtained in the court of the domi- cile, or in a court having jurisdiction over the place where the parties were married and settled was not valid here. Judgment against that marriage was pronounced by a court in Massachusetts. Such a divorce might be good in the state where it was obtained, but it would not be recognized as valid by the courts of England. Mr, Abbott cited cases showing that the English Courts adhered to this prin- ciple. There was no case, he said, where the jurisdiction of foreign courts was recognized over the English people. The decision of tie Canadian Senate would not affect the second wife as tar as she was a subject of the United States. If, however, injury had to be done to one of the parties, it was the duty of the coun- try to protect the first wife. His opinion and that of his colleague, the Minister of Justice, was that a divorce obtained in Massachusetts was not binding in this country. The bill passed without discussion.

Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world we live in! Nature gives us grandeur of mountains, glens and oceans, avd thousands of means of enjoy- ment. We can desire no better when in per- fect health ; but how often do the majority of people feel like giving it up disheartened, dis- couraged and worn out with disease, when there is no occasion for this feeling, as every sufferer can easily obtain satisfactory proof, that Green’s August Flower will make them free from disease, as when born. Dyspepsia and liver complaint are the direct causes of seventy-five per cent. of ‘such maladies as billiousness, sick headache, costiveness, nerv- ous prostration, indigestion, dizziness of the heat, palpitation of the heart, and other dis tressing symptoms. Three doses of August Fiower will prove its wondertul effect. Sample bottles 10 cts. Try it. °
