THE STATES AND THE TARIFF.

Ix the course of a commentary upon the German and Belgian treaties, and the dis- crimination of Canada against the United States, Harper’s Weekly says:

“Whatever may have been the reaeon of this policy, whether gratitude to the mother-country, as Sir Wilfred proclaimed, or hoatility to the commercial barriers set up by the United States, or merely an enlightened se!f-interest, it is clear that it

eontravened the German and Belgian

treaties. England was confronted with a dilemma. Either the Canadian oifer had

to be rendered nugatory or the treaties had to be denounced. Lord Ripon’s objections still stand, however. Itisastep of the greatest importance, for it is departure from England’s unaggressive trading policy. It means that for the sake of one of ber colonies she bas laid herself open to retaliation from one of her most formidable commercial rivals. The retalliation is bound to come, and England may find herself inexorably drawn into those fiscal conflicts between nation and nation to ber freedom from which she owes her present prosperity. Ifthat be so, the new tie between Nanada and herself may be found to have been dearly bought. Butit is an odd result historically that any American legislation should be even indirectly the means of drawing England and _ her colonies co er together.”

Harper's Weekly is singularly at fault in the article from which this paragraph is quoted. This may be due to the false expectations raised in the United States concerning the advent of the Libera! Party of Canadato power. The people of the United States were led to suppose that the Liberal Party were the friends of the United States and would, when in the majority, be exceedingly generous in their policy and administration as to United State; interests. We do not, tlierefore, wonder that the United States people are amazed and mad when they find their

of Cavada, not alone in regard tothe pro- ducts of Greet Britain, but in regard to the preducts of Germany, Belgium, Russia and indeed almost every other considerable All these countries are now entitled to a rebate of 12} per cent. ot the amount of the duty paid upon enter- ing Canadian ports. The United States, alone, have to pay the full amount of the maximum duty imposed according to our tariff. Ic is not probable that the Govern- ment ot Cavada would have wittingly dis— eriminated against the States in this way. Indeed, they merely blundered into giving Germany, Belginm, Russia and the rest a preference overthe States. But the bluoder is one which many persons in Cenada will regara as a happy one. Though Great Britain gives free entry to the produce of the United States, the Coagress of the United States has exerted all ite ingenuity in framing a tariff to hamper the trade of Great Britain; and though Canada has ever been ready, willing and anxious to reciprocate trade with the States upon fair terms, the States responds with special regulations directed against Uanada — ten per ceat. discriminatory duties and a barbarous alien law. Under these circumstances it is not at all an “odd result” of American legislation “that England and her Colonies are draw- i ng closer together.” On the contrary this result isthe most natural thing in the worla. The United States by its selfish policy of unreasonably bigh protection has made itself the commercial opponent of Great Britain, Canada, France, Germany , and every other country largly engaged

in trade. Is it not, then, strictly mitural that these nations should combine against her? We think

so, aud we hope that the arrangement into which the Government of Canada blundered will be maintained until the United States has learned a needful lesson and adopted a more moderate and generous policy. Indeed it might well be extended and made mutually reciprocal between all the countries involved — as against the self-sceking United States with its Dingley iariff and alien laws,

ENGLAND'S EMINENCE IN THE EAST

Tue Marquis Ito, the Japanese ex- Premier, interviewed in Vienna, said he had conversed with Lord Salisbury and other leading statesmen in London, but saw no sign Of any apprebension on their part as to England’s position in Asia. He was not at all disposed to think that Russia would soon go ahead of England, So far as Japan was concerned, the Eng- jish flag floated in all their harbors, and the trade of other nations was of a second- ary imporiance compared with that of England. It would be a mistake, he said, to suppose that China could ever become a field for the exclusive exploitation of Russia. She would always have to reckon with English competition from Burmah, as well as that of France from Tonquin. He was con. vinced that the problem of the future would be the struggle of England and France against Russian influence in China.

NOTES ‘AND COMMENTS

—The Montreal Gazettes Ottawa cor- respondent says it does not look very probable that there wil! be any fal! session | but more unlikely things have happened.

—Referring tothe newI. (. R. store- keeper at Moncton, the Halifax Herald saye: “Mr. Palmer is a wan well advanced in years and has had no previous training to qualify him for the important duties he is expected to perform, Why Mr. Blair should want sucha man in such a position can only be conjectured.”

—The London Times a few days ago published along letter fro: the Hon. Amyas Steifurd Nortucote, of Chicago, youngest brother of the Earl of Iddesleig,

hostile in England. Mr. Nortncote says : ‘Tbe majority rather reguard Englishmen with indifference and Great Britain as one of the effete monarchies business interests will always prevent a real quarrel.’

—There is a rumor at Ottawa to the effect that an extra session of parliament will be held this fall, “and the Halifax Herald remarks that the government have got tariff matters into such a muddle, that they feel that some fresh legislation is necessary to help them out; and they know their numerous supporters in the house will be glad of an extra session’s indemnity. They have already had two years indemnity in the first year of Grit government, and will no doubt repeat the operation during: the coming twelve

Liberals, whoure giving the prohibitionists a plebiscite, made a cow bine with the ‘leit whiskey sellers, by which, in return ‘for the whisxey volte in the provincial contest, the Liberal machine gave its in- flaence to defeat the Scott Act in the Jocal option fight. Tbe situation agefh illus- trutes the difference between a@ man who favors the plebiscite and one who favors prohibition.

Halifax Herald: It is said that in the recent elections at Charlottetown there was a deal between the Grit bosses and the which the liquor mea bell ed the Grits in the election of members one day, and the Grits” helped the liquor men defeat the Scott Act the next day. The prob ibitionists are regretting that the two together as to favor such manipulation; but the Grit bosses appear to have run things, dates and all, to suit theirowa purposes. Great is the Grit Plebiscite!

Referring to Sir Wilfred’s visit to Rome the Patrie, of Montreal, says: It was evi- dent that Sir Wilfred Laurier would go to Rome. He was received by the Pope in private audience. Leo XI{I is a man of superior mind. His enlightened and pro- gressive policy has secured for the Church a high position in diplomacy and the councils of the civilized world. 8ir Wilfrid Laurieris one of the disciples of the school the principles and views of which have ever been proclaimed by His Holiness especially since his advent to the pontifical throne—principles and views of tolerance, harmony and peace among all Christians. We expect from the visit of the prime Minister to the Eternal City and the pass- age of Mgr. Merry del Val through Canada a re-establishment of concord an d r -ligious liberty in our midst.

It’s ALLAN’S CHAMPAGNE KOLA.

—

_ In a year from now we’ll'all be drinking it in preference to all other aerated or min. eral water drinks, because it’s such a pleasant drink. Not only that, but its such a wholesome drip ; its invigorating, it cools the braing and strengthens the nerves. Its a great thing to take before breakfast, or before going to bed. It’s

good when you’ve got that tired feeling ; | it brightens you up.

Jt's the Temperance Drink of the Day

and everybody sheuld try it. Keep it in the house to treat your friends or for family use, It costs no more than Gioger Ale, etc., and it’s far better, If your Grocer can’t supply you write the maker.
