THE SEPTEMBER 4. me

The Vacant Seat in the Senate.

Our Patriotic contemporary is exceeding- ly anxious that Sir Joha Macdonald should do the right thing when he fills the seat in Senate which has been vacated by the Hon. J. 8, It is pleasing to know that ifthe Hon. Samuel Prowse be appointed to the Senate the Patriot will be pleased.

Carvell.

No one will grudge to the Patriot an occa- S10 ial crumb of cowfort, Indeed we should be disposed to yield a great deal, forthe sake of imparting to the Patriot a more roseate hue, and enabling it to change its continu- ous melancholy, pessimistic wail to a tone which would be likely to inspire its readers with confidence in the present and hope in the future of an United Canada. But there is nothing to yield in respect to its proposition that the Hon. Samuel Prowse be appointed to the Senate. It has been the policy of Sir John Macdonald to pro- mote to the Senate men who have,distin- guished by the -display of strong individuality united with talents and energy which have endbled them to suc- ceed and prosper and become men of mark in their several walks of life. There are few men in this Province who ‘fill the bill” in this respect better than the Hon. Samuel Prowse. Mr. Prowse has, for many years, been one of our most active public men, and he has takeu a fore-

Moreover,

most part in the promotion of all the recent measures which have benefitted the people of this Province and Canada at large. If he should be appointed to the Senate, the position he has taken in respect to the ful- filment of the Terms of Union as to con- tinnous communication between this Pro- vince and the mainland, will tend to make the appointment exceedingly popular ia King’s County and throughout the Pro- vince. ‘The paramount want of the Pro- vince is better means for communication aud trade in the winter season ; and it will be satisfactory, as it is important, to have in the Senate another earnest and vigorous promoter of the interests of the Province in this regard.

Mie appointment of Hon. Mr. Prowee

will undoubtedly be popular in King’s Conaty and throughout the Province, and it is satisfactory to know that the organ of

the Opposition will not be in a position to

Notes and Clippings.

— The growth of the United States ex- port trade in cattle with Great Britain is evidenced by the faet that during 1888 142,184 head of eattle wera sent thence agtinst 96,812 in 1887. The figures for 1880, when collected, will likewise show « large advance. The exporters of the United States have been very active the past few months.

~ Mr. Newbery’s letter on the subject of ihe Park roadway is worthy of considera- (ion This matter should have been at- tended to long ago. The state of the most convenient «pproach to the park is disgrace- ful. Measures to prevent the annual loss of land, prevent the intrusion of the public upon the grouads of the Lieutenant- Governor, and to afford a good public road- toria Park should be adopted as possibile. We hope that our public sp rited representative men will take thia raatter in hand.

The Breeders Gazette, of Chicago, re- ports that great ‘‘corn weather” is almost universally reported, and if frosts do not come abnorm uly early, immense yields of this staple will be gathered. The tempera- ture has risen geaerally throughout the West, while rains have held off ~a little too much, in fact, in some localities, where the pastures are beginning to brown. The prospects are excellent at present for secur- mg the corn crop, as twenty to thirty days more of such weather will see it safely over the danger line from the attacks of nipping Jack Frost. The oat crop is simply im- mense ; that is the only word which fitly characterizes the situation.

— The railroad mileage of the world is set down at 543,035 miles. Thisis divid- ed among the continents as follows : Europe, 207,806 miles; Asia, 26,898 miles, 22,954 miles being in the British Indian possessions; Airica, 7,716 miles, 2,795 miles being vo the credit of Cape Colony; Australasia, 15,297 miles. America, with 290,218 miles, contains more than hali the nileage of the world, the United States coming first with (in 1887) 240,210 miles. Canada stands second with 12,883 miles, or aa much nearly as Brazil, the Argentine Republic and Mexico combined, though her population is only one-fifth of the to- ta! of these countries.

~ The British Board of Trade returns for tie month of July have been issued. They show that the value of the exports to Osala for the month was £653,326 against £534,156 in July, 1883, and that fur the seve. months ended 3lst July it was £3,- 072.520, against £3,064,123 for the corres- pensag period of 1858. The value of im- port. from Canada in July was £1,469,328, agaist £1,275,935 iu July, 1888; and for the seven jwonths ended 3ist July it was 2,772,555, against £2,460,111. The Values in poauds sterling of the imports for the seven months were as follows: Oxen and oltis, 500.5.2 ; cows, 16,119; calves, 46 5 shew, nie, 25,33b ; wheat, 70,- 336; wheat ii iee.ddi; butter, 30,- 5 $69,204; Leh, cured or salted,

Protection and Free Trade.

-

F. Lester Warp read a paper before the ;

Scienge Association, which is now in

easion “in Torento,.on ‘Phe Sotiologieal paihion4

| of Protection and Free Trade.” Mr. Ward says that it has always been maintained on ‘the one side and searcely denied on the ‘other that in theory the doctrine of free | trade is invincible. But the- writer also | maintained that there is a theory of pro- tection, in considering a theory of protec- ‘tion it should first of all be observed that a | protective tariff is only one of a large class ' of means which not only States, but cor- | porations, institutions and individuals | adupt to secure a certain end, viz., to en- courage activiiies that are supposed to be beneficial to society. Few will deny that it is both a right anda duty to adopt any means that can be proved to be for the general good. Whenever the State has ap- plied this principle it has always proved etiective. There are some narrow- minded people who oppose all such measures on the ground that public money is thus givenjto private individuals. But if the results are regarded as of value to the country at large, there is no difference between this and the payment of salaries to the officers and employes of the Govern ment for the transaction of its necessary business. The end is usually regarded as of the greatest value, and if attained it is supposed to justify almest any expenditure, The principle to which all such legislation belongs is that of inducing individual mem- bers of society to put forth exe: t ons which are foreseen to be beneficial to society at large. The great economic principle is that civilization depends entirely upon the intelligent control of natural forces, includ- ing the social forces, and their direction into channels of human advantage. Much ingenuity has always been employed in ob- taining revenue at the least expense and friction and the imposts that were furmerly collected on goods in transit from one port to another of the same country were the origin of the term laissez faire, which has now become the rallying cry not only of those who favor free trade, but of the whole schoo] of philosophers who call them- selves individualists. Properly viewed these who advocate a tariff for protection ouly come much nearer to be free traders than these who advocate a tariff for re- venue only, Resort to « tariff for protec- tion was had much Ister than to a tariff for revenues. As statesmen became wiser and more far-sighted, they began to perceive that by regulating trade so as to keep out products that can be obtained at home the resources of their respective countries could be developed and nations rendered self-sustaining and independent. This national sentiment was the principal mutive in securing the adoption of protec- tive taritfs. A statesman is not a uman- itarian, but the history of this movement has proved that with States, as with indi- viduals, those aets which are performed in self-defence are usually the ones that best conduce to the collective weal. Of all the means that have thus far been hit upon by siatesmen for tho beneficial modification of social phenomeva, and the attraction of human activities into advantageous char- nels, thst of the protective tagitf has proved the most suecessful aud far-reaching in its effects But it may be questioned whether there is any such thing as free competiton. It is inthe very nature of competition to arrest the free play of activities. The term itself implies friction. It requires intelligent perseverence to preserve competition free, or, more correctly speaking, to prevent competition so as to leave useful activities freo. Nations compete for the com- merce of the world, and _ grad- ually some pne like Great Britain will come to command the seas. This becomes a great commercial monoply, and all the evils of monuply attend it. The narrow theory of the free trader is wholly inade-. quate to explain such facts. The protect- ive tariff certainly does not effect trade. Its effect is much greater than that of the non- protective tariff. It prohibits the neces- sary transportation of goods that can be produced near the consumer. This is a great economy. At first it usually increas- es the price of the protected article, but in the end it reduces it by the whole cost of of this redundant transportation often by much more than this. It often goes so far as to reduce the prices abroad. Another unlooked-for effect isthat of raising and sustaining wages. Protection belongs to the great class of ingenious instru:eé ntal- ities, which the civilized brain of man has learned to devise and employ for the regu- lation, control and utilization of natural agencies. It dees not differ in_ principle irom the various means by which he has protected himself from wild beasts, vermin, flood, fire and storui, cosyttenttiiaiericonsiiinineatie —'The following is a stttement of the Ex- ports jur August, from Queen’s and King’s Counties :—

The Park Roadway.

Srr,—Now that the Government have under consideratioa repairing Government House, it is to be: hoped that the breast work along the shore front will not be over- looked by them. cune time for citizens to urge upon the City Counci! to ev-operate with the Government in making preparations to build the pro- posed roadway to the Paik along the front of Government House next spring, in order to get a more direct approach to the Park, aod to anable citizens more generally to enjoy the advantage of fresh air and reere- ation it should afford to all clssses.

A pablic meeting should be called to agitate the matter, as the Council will-not likely assume the initiative unless they are strongly supported by the taxpayers

In conneetion with the above-mentioned improvement, the Council should make provision to have the driyes in! the Park improved and new ones opened. Most of the roads are now badly cut up, full of ruts and seem to receive little or no repairs or attention. Another man or ‘two ought to be employed early next spring to assist the keeper in this much needed work, which should be under the supervision of some competent overseer. Trusting that these remarks will awaken an interest in this matter,
