A majority of those who spoke at the recent of course, in

favor of an arrangement which would draw

the trade of the Maritime Pro- vinces away from Montreal, Toronto and other Canadian cities, and “‘locate” it in Boston and New York. The invita-

to obtaining as wellas Cana-

tions were issued with a view

Canada and the States. there were expression in strong terms to the National the United States.

McKenna is re-

view of the people of Thus the Hon. Joseph ported to have said :—

‘What we are to consider, primarily, is the

que stion of the protection of ourselves. That qt,estion should be considered first, last and siways, in the legislation of a nation. It for-

bids reciprocity with Canada. It is a ques- tion of protection to our home industries, and, gentlemen, it does not allow of any exceptions. it aids and encourages as well as accomplish- es. What Edmund Burke said about liberty ean be said about protection to our industries.

It is the clear right of all or of none; and is very excellent when universal, and odious when partial, because when partial it dis- crimiaates and tyrannizes and burdens and destroys Reciprocity treaties are against

tals principi hey are c »wardly free trade, cowardly protection. They are sneaking free trade. The same principles that justify them justify free trade; and usually the advocates of free trade are the advocates of reciprocity. I say usually, because we find some free trad- ers, an | they are here to-night, that are op- posed to reciprocity. Why, I do not know.

We find some protectionists, and they are here to-night, who are in favor of Reciprocity. Why, I do not know. lf it be goo i p licy to suspend our

tariff in f.vor of one country, why not another and yet another? Why not with all? If it be policy to exempt from duty some foreign goous und pro lucts that compete with some

goods and products, why not other foreign goods and products, why not others and yet

others? Why noc with «li? M:. President, if it be policy to create one continent without a custom house, why not another continent, and why not, in the elegant language of the gentleman from Arkansas, tae boundless

universe? There are no exceptions. The

excepti nu to a good principle isa _ bad princi~

ple. ‘he exception toa good practice is a bad practice. It is no answer to say that the contiguity of Canadian territory makes a difference as to her. How fr oif would country have to be be- fore reciprucity becomes bad! How near dues she nave to be before reciprocity becomes good? An, gentlemen, contiguity of terri- tory 's but a specious plea and reason. Why,

in these days of rapid transit, the seas and oceans are but as brooks over which foreign producers would rush to ruin our trade. The farther the country, as Mr. Hitt intimated, the better itis. Distance could restore some of the protection that the treaty might seek to take otf. Now, I said that the advocates of free trade are usually advocates of reciprocity.

I should have said, justified themselves by the arguments of free trade. A very distin- guished gentleman, whose name has been

quoted as having introduced the bill into the house, is very much in favor of free trade. His words have a deep meaning and a wide significance, and Mr. Butterworth is not a

man of careless thought or careless language. He is a man who deliberately formulates his thoughts and deliberately utters his senti- ments. Now, uventlemen of Boston, do you agree with him? If you do, and I say it boldly, if you do, yon are the most unconscionable robbers of other

men and of each other thta the world has ever seen. (Laughter.) Doubtless mil- lious of dollars—if it be true that protection takes the money out of the pocket of one citizen and putsit into the pocket of the other—have been taken out of the pockets of other men to put in your own. If protection

allows that ventlemen—if it be a correct

description of protection, if it be nothing but reciprocal robbery and legalized loss, and if somewhere or other in this mutual loss one thief receives no compensation for what some

other thief has stolen from him, or whether ?

there be or be not compensation, there can be

only one sentence fer protection;’ and that is

worth’s utterance. Those words cannot be true of Canada and the United States unless they are true also of the United States and some other country, and of all other countries. Now, I do not think that Mr. Butterworth 3 utterance about protection is true, You do not think they are reciprocal rol bery and le galized pilfering. ou do not think they, - a pistol in the hands of one man ..¢ d at the head of another. You know what they mean. I am not going to dea! with the fishery question, The question Is not as small as one gentleman has sought to make it, not as big as another gentleman said it is. But there is a principle behind it, how- ever small the fish may be; and it is that principle for which the contention 1s made. We do not find that the Canadians are at all agreed on the reciprocity matter. ‘Chere has not been a Canadian head put up here to- night that a Canadian hand did not whack at. ‘The gentleman from New York tells us that Canada has goteverything. She has got more land than anybody else, more ocean, the big- gest bay, the most coa! and fish, and she has got the beneficent hen that “lays eggs for gentlemen, but lays a debt for Canada.” She has got all these things, and Mr. Hitt has sent her a surplus of cashiers, and still she is in debt. We on the other hand, are perplexed with too much money.: I wish, in concluding, to add a few words in behalf of the great, beneficent principle end policy which eitas raised this country to What it is, and which alone I believe can keep it what it is; and I say to you, gentlemen, adhere to it, stick to it. stand by it, and eye hath not seen, nor eat heard, nor hath it entered into the heart of man what you may become.” (Applause.) Congressman Dingley, in the course ol

his speech, said :—

‘*T desire to call ‘the attention of our Canadian friends to the fact that this rule of maritime reciprocity is, in the single instance of the Canadian officials in their conduct owards American fishing vessels, controverted and dented. American fishing vessels attempt- ing to eater Canadian ports and remaining there beyond a certain time, except for purposes of shelter or for obtaining wood and water, are seized, and even condemned. Between 1886 and 1887 more than 50 vessels were seized and fine, and in some cases condemned. ;

‘*T draw attention to these iacts because they are a great obstacle in the way of the principle of reciprocity. And while these tacts exist it cannot be possible that the

people who suffer’ from them can look with kindlingss upon all the suggestioas that have been made with

reference to the exténsion of reciprocity

in another direction. *t seems to me that no step can be taken by our Canadian friends which would do more _to promote the cause they have set forth heré with such earnestness to-night than this very, step of admitting to this rule of maritime réciprocity all the ves- sels of the United States inthe same manner as we have met all the vessels of Canada in the ports of the United States. Reference has been made toatreaty adopted in 1818, before the rule of maritime reciprocity was known. Yet it must be remembered that subsequent to that period the United States and Great Britain entered ‘into the general rule of maritime reciprocity, end it seems to me that when we have proceeded during all these years to admit all Cansdian vessels into our ports, denying them none of the privi- leges accorded to civilized ations, that the said treaty was set aside, o; has been inter- preted in the light of what hAs happoned since. However that may be,: to withhold maritime reciprocity at this late.day is, under the cir- cumstances, a policy that can hardly be de- fended before the public opinion of the world. ** We claim that Anierican fishermen have the right to fish in the deep waters, where all vations have the privilege of fishing, and that to deny that right, by depriving our fisher- men of the ordinary coraity of the Canadian ports, is contrary to the'comity among nations. (Applause.) It is impossible for a cheerful feeiing to grow upand eevelop in this country while such a barbarous rule exists as that which has been unkown to any civilized nation within the last 40 years.

‘* Now, Mr. Presidert, as representing one constituency which conzains among its mem- bers men who are imperilling their lives in carrying on the fisheries of the nation; know- ing something of their character and of the dangers they have encountered; knowing that upon those men we must rely in time of war ; knowing that they are men true to us; I should be false to the position in which I am placed if I had not made the suggestion to which | have called your attention. And I trust that this gathering, so kindly, so en- couraying and so full of promise of appropriate relations hereafter, may be the inauguration of such a movement on the part of our friends as will lead promptly td the removal of those restrictions, which, I essure you, are to-day rankling in the hearts ‘of every true Ameri-

can, (Applause),” These ‘‘views” sre, we have little doubt, the views of 'a majority of the

American people ; and if so, it will at once be evident that going duwn on our marrow bones and craving the boon of Reciprocity, or, in the event of not obtaining Recipro- city, offering to enter into a ‘‘ Commercial Union” — involving the loss of our commer- cial independence and separation from Great Britain, —will be fruitless and useless. The better policy for vis to adopt is to stand on our rights and await the measures that Uncle Sam willadopt to keep down his wonderful surpluses. He must do some- thing ; and unless he adds materially to his enormous expenditures, he is most likely to abate or abolish the duties on raw mate- rials such as Canada is in the best posi- tion to supply.

— Mr. Wiman, speaking at Boston said that phosphorous in iron, is like the devil in religion, and that ‘** the Canadian ore is free from phosphordus, while the United States ore is deteriorated by it.” So says the Montreal Gazet/e, the Ohio and other iron men are eager to anmex our iron mines, not to smelt the ore in Canada, but to take it to their own furnaces, to return to us later in manufactured forms. Canada aspires, however, t> have the profit of manufacturing her own iron, and not to'sell her valuable ores fora pittance and give the profit to foreign nianufacturers.

Peath of Mr. W. B. Dawson. | Jp is, to-day, our sad duty to announce ‘the very sudden and unexpected death of | Mr. W. B. Dawson, a nephew and formerly a partner in business ft Fe Dawson, | Esq., of this city. It appears that Mr. | Dawson, who was at the time in his usual | health, went yesterday afternoon into one of | the out-buildings on his farm, on St. Peter's Road, for the purpose of doing some work | therein. About fifteen minutes later his | son, on going to the building, found his | father lying on the floor dead. Dr, Beer, who was summoned to the scene, is of opinion that heart disease was the cause of death. Mr. Dawson was well and favor- ably known throughout the city. He was in town yesterday forenoon, in excellent spirits, ‘We sympathise with his family and relatives in their bereavement. A singular coincidence in connection with Mr. Dawson’s death is that his farm adjoined those of Owen Connolly and Geo. Wright, both of whom also died suddenly- all three within as many weeks. uaa a nS RT eoncuatly tai aliaiiecdiplase

Concert.

A concert and Social was given in the Presbyterian Church at St. Peter’s Bay on Wednesday evening, 28th ult., which was counted a great success by all present.

The choir did its work admirably. Miss Findley, of Charlottetown, with her usual grace and skill, presided at the organ. Her solo singing was most excellent, so also was Miss Madge MacLaine’s. Prof. D. J. McLe»d could keep the audience delighted the whole night with his rare talent for Scottish songs. It was a rare treat. Plessant and entertaining speeches were made py Revs. J. M. McLeod and J. B. McLeod.

Pasiing over many other pleasing features of the evening, the large audience dispersed at a late hour, leaving a sum inthe neighborhood of eighty dollars in the hands of the managing committee.

Vritish Topics.

(Special Correspondence of The Examiner.

Ir is astonishing, in this great city of London that so, much effort is being made to ameliorate the condition of the unblessed. London is renowned for its charities for all sorts and conditions of poor people, but a fresh tide of endowment seems to have set in, and even Royalty seems to have caught the infection of relief, and laying aside the purple of pomp and circumstance, seems to compete for a place of honor in the dingy slums and squalid regions of this modern Babylon. There is a People’s Palace at Whitechapel, which all visitors to the metropolis know is almost a synonym for the unwashed white-chaps of the East, and there was held in it what is called the Exhibition of the London Apprentices. There, no less a person than the Prince of Wales put in an appearante, and spoke well and earnestly onthe value of instruction and the necessity of amusements for work- ing people. Only fancy, too, the great Oxford University forming a Home Rule League, and Professor Newman playing the trump card. The poor are rising up, The rich are settling down, _ So Home Rule sips its cup, In Oxford cap and gown. The porridge that the Chief Secretary for Ireland (Mr. Balfour) has been mixing for the tenantry, seems to have been served to the landlords, for they are out under the leadecship of the Duke of Abercorn, and feel sick enough to want to spoon justice out of the States Exchequer. There was a convention of Irish landlords in Dublin lately. The five men concerned in the attack on Mr. Sexton’s house at Ballyvaughan have been sentenced—one for two years penal servitude, und the other for seven years penal servitude, while the seven men con- cerned in the shooting of John Kinsella, at Coolgreany, have been declared ‘* Not Guilty.” | Ihave not heard of the Hullsborough being’ made into an ice prairie yet ; but it ought to have been bridged long ago, if our weather is any indication of yours. Perhaps you are open yet, for 1| have gathered from telegrams and other sources of information that the North is very short of cold weather, while the South is getting more than their share. Such headings, as Fearful Gale, Severe Weather, Heavy Snow, and the like have been meet- ing the eye of the astonished native here.

The Pope's Jubilee.

SIXTY THOUSAND TICKETS ISSUED FOR SsT. PETER’S TO SEE THE POPE—JOY IN THE ETERNAL CITY.

A Rome despatch of the Ist inst. says :— ‘*The Pontifical mass to-day was a great success, Thousands thronged St. Peter's Square early inthe morning awaiting the opening of the Cathedral. Sixty thousand admission tickets were issued and the Cathedral was packed. The Pope entered at 8.30, followed by the cardinals in procession. His Holiness was received with loud and long continued shouts of ‘Long Live the Pope.’ The music of the mass was deeply impressionable; many persons in the audience were affected. The Pope blessed all the people and left the Cathedral at 11 a. m., the whole audience expressing joy by clapping of hands, waving of hats and handkerchiefs and enthusiastic exclamations. King Hunibert expressed himself to a deputation from Parlisment as being highly satisfied with the sinoothness of the ceremony, which was the best proof of the Pope's liberty in Rome.

Forty-eight cardinals, and bishops were present estimated that thirty thousand people were in the audience. The Pope prayed a long t'me in his private chapel, He then received homage of the court of cardinals in sale. ducale.

W hile assuming the sacredotal vestments, the Pope was overcome with emotion and fainted. Strong salts were administered, and he soon returned to consciousness.
