The Grit Annexation Policy.

Tuk most prominent feature in the policy of the McKenzie party is undoubtedly that by which the Dominion ef Canada is made, year after year, to be more and more de- pendent upon the United States. It needs no proof that the mineral and agricultural wealth of the Dominion is vast, and it needs only a glance at the returns from the differ- ent departments to convince any one that these sources of prosperity are clogged, and their currents all but stopped by the h: stile trade laws of the McKenzie Government. The lamentable condition of the coal mining business is becoming a reproach te the coun- try. In place of advancing, it is retreating. Pits that were a few years back worked vig- orously are now closed up— the railways that carried the products of these mines are unwerked and grown over with grass, while the thousands of laborers who were em- ployed there have been sent about their business to seek for work Americar coal is more prized by Mr. Mc- Kenzie and his Cabinet; and hence the mines of the Dominion are left unworked, and the resources of the country paid away to foreign traders, and to encourage for- eign industry.

In the matter of agriculture, however, McKenzie’s unpatriotic policy is still more apparent. Last year the total value of ag- ricultural products imported from the United States into Canada amounted to the enor- ious sum of NINETEEN MILLIONS OF DOL- tars, while the worth of the agricultural exports from Canada to the States was only <WELVE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, leaving against Canada a deficit of SEVEN MILLIONS OF DOL- Lars in agricultural products alone. No doubt a portion of these imports was re- exported from Canada, but deducting the four millions worth, which the returns tell us, was actually re-exported more than four- teen million dollars worth of agricultural produce from the States remained to be consumed in Canada, thus throwing a like amount of the Canadian farmers’ produce out of his own market. The injustice of McKenzie’s tariff may be further illustrated by considering that, in order to get twelve nillion dollars worth of products into the American market, the Canadian exporter had to pay into the United States Treasury about four million dollars as duty, But the United States sent into Canada . double the above amount and, by way of duty,only

paid some three hundred thousand dollars; whereas, had the Americans paid the same

rate of duty as they charged to the Cana- dians, the Canadian treasury would have had in place of three hundred thousand dollars, six mmuions. Dr. Orton, from whose speech in the House we take the above figures, adds :—

‘As things at present stand, the Canadians are paying twelve times as much into the treasury of the United States as the exporters of that country pay into our treasury to obtain amarket foronly two-thirds as much as they, the Americans, sends of farm products into our

maarkets.”

It must be owned that the statements given above are damaging enough to un- dermine and destroy the claims of any Gov- ernment to patriotism. But when we add tothis the fact stated broadly by Dr. Orton : ‘* That the produce of the farmers of the Western States, and of the United States generally, is carried over our rail- ways at cheaper rates than the produce of our own country, and brought into our own markets over these railways, and into direct competition with the produce of the farmers of this country,” there can remain no doubt but that the first object McKen- zie proposes by his policy is to benefit the United States. He probably means to drive through sheer misery and taxation

this Canada of ours into a union with the neighboring Republic. Hun-

tington, the Postmaster-General, is an open and avowed annexationist. ‘So is the Min- ister of Militia, the warlike Jones of Hali- fax ; and so also is the profound worshipper of McKenzie on this Island, the editor of the Patriot. It certainly is time that some agitation were begun in order to inaugurate a national policy. The only hope for the Dominion lies in this being accomplished quickly. With McKenzie at the rudder, we are purposely allowed to drift away from everything that is British ; for kingly rule, according to his own confession, is not savory to the nostrils of Alexander Mc- Kenzie. Premier of Canada.

| PHB McOARTHY MURDER. (From the St. Fehe Telegraph.)

‘To-day we give our readers & full report ‘of the dvidente taken yesterday, at the in- juest held at Shediac, on the remains of the late Timothy McCarthy. The evidence is entirely of a surgical character, and em ! braces the testimony of Dr. Lucius C. Ath- son, of this city,Dr. Fleeming, of Sackville, and Dr. Scott, of Moncton. The differences of Doctors have passed inte a proverb, but in this case fortunately there are no differ- ences of opinion between these three medi- cal gentlemen as to the cause of McCarthy's death. They all agree in saying that Me Carthy was not drowned, but that his death was produced by external violence sufficient to rupture the blood vessels of the brain. They all say that, from the collapsed state of the dead man’s lungs, and the absence of fluid or froth in any part of the cavity of the thorax, it is evident that McCarthy had ceased to breathe before he was placed in the water. This evidence upsets completely all the elaborate theories which have been put forward to account for the presence of this body in the Seadouc, by those who, last autumn, loudly proclaimed to the world that McCarthy had run away and was liv- ing in the United States. It disproves com- pletely the hypothesis advanced since, that the deceased, while intoxicated, wandered down to the river, fell into it, and was drowned. ‘This evidence shows, in fact, that MeCarthy was murdered and that his body was placed in the river by the guilty parties to hide from the light of the sun the ehasily evidence of their dreadful crime. ‘hese facts being now so clearly shown, the inquiry is narrowed to the discovery of all the perpetrators of this dreadful crime, an inquiry in which, it is to be hoped, the jury will be completely successful,

Verbatim Report of the Evidence at the Inquest. (From the Moncton Times. ) Sueprac, Tuesday, May 14.

The proceedings which commenced yes terday afternoen in Tait’s store was resumed this morning in Smith’s Hall. The hall was well filled;—the Osbornes all present. LUCIUS ALLISON being sworn, said: I live in St. John; am a physician and surgeon; have been practis- ing since 1868. I was called upon and made an examination of the body supposed to be that of Timothy McCarthy, in com- pany with Drs. Scott and Fleming in a barn here in Shediac. Upon making the exam- ination, I found the body without hat, but otherwise fully clothed, having on a pair of waterproof leggings, a waterproof coat, a pair of India rubbers. He wore under the rubber shoes a pair of tolerably new leather bocts; a cloth overcoat; would not like to swear to the color, but would suppose that the coat was originally a dark shade of brown: also a white cotton shirt, woolen un- dershirt and a pair of woolen drawers; dark colored necktie fastened with a broach pin over a collar which was perfect.

The sleeve of the rabber coat was torn. The cloth overcoat was in good condition; the sleeves were whole, The stitching of the lining was torn. The mud on the clothes was not similar to that which we found on the street—there was mud on all the cloth- ing. The India rubber leggings were torn. | There were also some stains on the clothing. In several pockets of the clothing we found a number of articles—a pair of kid mitts, a copy of Halifax Chronicle, 12th Oet., 1877; a white handkerchief without any name on it; some tobacco in a pouch; a linen collar wrapped in paper. On the table in the barn between the legs of the body was a quantity of money which, | presume, came from the pockets of the deceased. The money mentioned was one 50c. piece, two 10c. and two 5e. pieces, three lc. pieces and one $2 bill, one $1 bill of the Union Bank of P. E. I. I removed all the clothes and all the contents of the pockets.

The body generally was somewhat swol- len. The scarf skin was separated in every direction , the body was green all over ; the scarf skin was so separable as to leave the feet with the toe nails when the socks were removed. The hair was all gone from the head with the exception of a small quantity on the lower sides of the head. The ey brows were all gone, There was a small wound about three quarters of an inch long over the region of the right eyebrow—not deep—-not so deep as the bone. 1! have formed no opinion as to the cause of that wound. The stains mentioned on the cloth- ing were on the woollen drawer, undershirt and the white cotton shirt. The stains were in the region of the chest, beginning at the upper part of the breast and extend- ing down to the waist band. They were irregular in outline. The average breadth of the stains would be about two inches. These stains were mostly on the outside of each shirt. The whole of the stains was not caused in the same way. Part of the stains were caused by the red facing of the undershirt ; the other part of stains were not caused in this way. I would not like at present to give an opinion as to the cause of the lining stains. 1 only swear positively they were not caused in the same way as the other stains were caused. The stains were composite—made partly by the red lining of the waist coat but not wholly in that way.

We first examined the head. The scalp was separated from the bones of the skull. There was bloody serum and froth coursing left nostril and left ear. Upon opening the skull the brain was partially decomposed. At the right and back part of the brain there was a quantity of blood. There was also fluid blood diffused in the same region and at the base of the brain. The cavities of both ears were filled with a substance which I believe to be a decomposed blood clot. I don’t think of anything else. No superficial wound—no superficial injury— behind either of ears. Would not swear positively that none had eyer been made, as putrefaction has made it impossible to tell exactly whether or not, ‘The skin may have been bruised. Am unable to say

There was ho fluid in the] ‘Phe skull was chest, which is an unusual cirenmstance, The} iseoloration on substance of the lungs was not, congested. ‘There was no free blood, nor any mucous or froth in any of the air passages. ‘These are all the very opposite conditions of a body which had been drowned. There was no foreign body in any of the air passages from the mouth to the roots of the bronchi; a foreign body is not necessarily found in a body when drowned. The opinion I have formed as to the cause ot the cause of this man’s death is in consequence of the effusion tha! I have deseribed found on the back and base of the brain ; that effusion qrinenes . was not caused by natural causes, The death EXAMINER, was nota naturalone. I think so from the|™ condition of the efusion itself, it having been produced by simultaneous rupture of the small vessels, ‘This state might be caused by any violence sufficiently strong to rupture those small vessels. A blow given behind the ear, which neither broke the skin ner fractured the skull, might have produced this effect, if the vessels were full at’ the time the blow was given. A greater blow would be required to produce simultanecus rupture. “Phere was not necessarily any disease in these capillary pass- ages. 1 found in no part of the brain any ev1- dence of morbid disease in any of those ves- sels. The lungs were notably collapsed, but not diseased in their structure. ‘There was no organic ‘disease in any of the vital organs. There was a small caleareous grain, not bigger than a pin-head, in the kidneys, which would not cause irritation inthe parts where it was situated, and which was the only abnormal matter | found in tie body. 1 could not form any opinion as to haw long the body had been in the water, as ths world depend upon vari- ous circumstances---the condition of the tem- perature, etc. A body, after having been in the water since last October, upon being taken from the water on Saturday last, would soon change much in appearance. ‘The body would take the green color by which this body is ‘characterized. A body which had received a blew producing suc a state of brain as I have here described, would probably be noted with fluid running from nostril and earas I have described. A rush of blood to the head might cause blood to flow from the ears, nose and mouth. <A pressure on the blood vessels with- in the head may cause bleeding from the ears or nostrils, The state of the brain in this case would not be caused by the natural press- ure upon blood-vessels in the head.

Iam not able to form any opinion as to what time the body was put into water, putre- faction being so far advanced. I could not tell how long life had been extinct when the body was put into the water, Ihave taken out the stomach of the body and now have it for fur- ther examination, | can’t examine it here, i

[Proceedings at this stage were interrupted by a discussion between Messrs. Tuck and Holstead, the latter wishing to have some evi dence introduced im reference to the hat, to which Mr. Tuck objected. After which the examination was resumed by Myr. Hol- stead. |

Two blows could begiven behind the ear with a hatchet sufficient to produce effusion, and yet not heavy enough to mark the skin.
