All the Difference in the World,

HERI is all the ditfereuce in the world betw operation of the tarif? with respect to articles which ean not be produced in Canada and those which can be prodneed here just as well

as in the United States, Great Britain or elsewhere he arti ‘le of tea, for instance, cannot

be grown here, and consequently the im- fa duty on tea will raise the

positior the duty off the

9p price ; W hile by taking

price will be lowere!

Tea is now admitted duty free; and tea is now “cheaper than ever

But we can manutacture refined sugar here as well as they can in the United States; and taking it into consideration t ioug 1 about sea voyage from the countries of production to Great Britain and thence to Canada, it is mauifest that we can do better by im porting raw sugars direct from the West Ludi tad) «Brazil, and refining them ourselves, than we can by importing refined sugar trom England or Scotland.

In point of fact, this is the result

Sugar.as well as tea.is cheaper than ever.

Phe reason is, that competition keeps down the price. Competition keeps down the prices not of sugar only, but of cot tous, woollens and of every article which the National Policy has induced manu tacturers to make in our own country.

So that, besides the great advantage of having capital invested and laborers employed, who consume a large propor tion of our various surplus produce, and keep the prices of farm products up, we uoder the National Policy, the additional two-fold, advantage of cheap prices for articles not produced here, on which there is uo duty, and cheap prices for articles produced here at a small advance on cost on account of the sharp competition which prevails,

A False Idea Corrected.

Tae Grits are industriously circu- lating the false idea that Sir John A. Maedoa ild is Opposed to Reciprocity. Here a few quotations from Sir John’s last speech on the subject :—

are

**1 do not know any reason why the hon. gentleman who moved this,or the seconder, laid before the House these elaborate state- ments as to the value of reciprocal trade, or trade of any kind, with the United States. That is admitted. That goes without saying. We all admit that it would be well that we had a large trade with the United States, rather than a small one.”

‘| think Canada, as compared in her action with the action of the United States, has done everything that she could well do to secure that desirable object (viz. Reci- procity. )

. . , .

‘*They, (the Americans) know that we are ready at any time; we have told them hly that we are ready at anytime to renew the Re cupre ity T'r aty of i185 4

—LBeu Butler has decided to become a candidate at the next Presidential elec- tion. He has addressed the following letter to the New York Sun:—

Dear Sir: As a means of reaching more querists than I could do in avy other way, | write you this note for such use as you choose to make of it. Auswer: I do'intend to stand by the nomination of the Green- backers and laboring men and Anti:Mono- polists, and I hope everybody will vote for me who thinks that is the best thing to do. { will give reasons for my actions which are controlling to the public as soon as I can have the benefit of Cleveland's létter of acceptance, so that wherein I disagree with him I may do him no injustice. —

The gigantic engineering schemes force themselves upon public attention. One is the proposal to pierce a railway tunnel through the Pyrenees, the convention for whieh has just been signed by the French and Spanish International Railway Com- inission. The other scheme is for the formation of a company to construct an international railway connecting Europe with Persia, India, Burmah and China. [t appears that Sir R. M. Stephengon, who has been endeavoring to arrange with t Sublime Porte for the com- mencement of the works in Turkey for the last thirty-four years, considers that the negotiations are so far advanced as to warrant the formation of a company to work the concession which he believes he

will eventually obtain. He proposes to raise, for making the Asia Minorand Persia sections a capital of £16,000.000 ia 600,-

000 shares of £20, or 500f, each, “of which it is proposed £4,000,000 shall be saved by troops’ labor, leaving £12,000,000 to be subscribed.” Sir R. M. Stephenson's hopes to induce the countries through which the line passes to supply troops to make it are, we fear, doomed to ineviiable disappointment. There are three other

real scueiwes i ¢ mbryo, namely, the Pan.

THE

fhe Campaign Reviewed,

BY AN ONLOOKER,

rue pubtie meetings held last week were highly favorable to Dr Jenkins

lhe Mount Stewart Hall Meeting which the Petriot observed was ‘‘not divided, but

irtial observers judged there was about half Now it is well known to all ‘impartial obs rvers that the elector: it this meeting numbered at the very least two to one for Dr, Jenkins.

Che Fort Augustus Meeting—Of this large and influential meeting the Putrivt says: ‘‘ Judging from the applause bestowea upon the pubhe speakers the meeting was about equally divided.” It being generally admitted that one Grit at a public meeting twwakes more noise than ten Liberal-Con-

‘yy til}

on ¢ ach side,’

servatives, it is but fair to conclud that the Fort Augustus meeting was ten to one for Dr. Jenkins.

The meeting at Mill View Factory— was indeed largely attended. The Grit brigade fearing that their leaders would be disheartened by the overwhelming ma- jority of the electors in that polling di- vision in favor of Dr. Jenkins, mustered their forees from other localities, and by their aid, the Patriot announcer, the meeting ‘* was evidently by long odds in favor of Welsh,” whereas the contrary was the fact, as announced even by many Grits themselves.

The Eldon Hall Meeting—in this strong- hold of the Liberal Conservative party, where, according to Patriot's own figures Davies only polled 103 votes, and Jenkins polled the handsome number of 207 at the late Dominion election, and yet, in the face of that fact, the /’atriot says: ‘* Judging from the cheering and applause more than one-half those present were in favor of Welsh.” Here, as else- where, the rule holds good that a few noisy Grits are taken by the Patriot as compos- ing an equal mumber if not a majority of the electors

the

The Belle Creek meeting—the Pat- yiot says — was ‘almost unanimous in favor of the Opposition,” and that, ‘“‘three cheers were given for the

Liberal Candidate while the Dr. was al- lowed to leave the meeting in silence and alone.” This unmanly way of treating op- ponents is characteristic of such blusterers as MrWelsh and his brigade,whenever they get the chance. There is, however, a grow ing feeling in favor of Dr. Jenkins, even at Belfast.

Caledonia Schoclhouse—Here also the Patriot says Mr. Welsh received three cheers. Well, why not? Bat, is that any indication that the electors ot Caledonia have changed their views since the last election, when an

almost unanimous vote was polled for the Liberal-Conservative candidate. Surely the Patriot must think his readers the veries' dupes imaginable, if they will believe the barefaced falsehoods and wilful misrepre seniations which he makes in his utterly unreliable, and untruthful reports of public meetings.

Murray Harbor Road Schoolhouse—The meeting here was well attenied by the electors of the district. The Grit brigade from Montague Bridge and elsewhere put in appearance in full force. Such Grit names as Manoah Rowe, from Mon- tague, the Enmans from Vernon River others of that class, helped to swell the ranks of the Opposition at this meeting. But all to no purpose,as intelligent electors cannot be deceived by such travelling im- postures. John F. McLeod, of Fletcher's Mills, was very noisy at this meeting. This man, until very recently, was a violent and very subservient follower of both the present local and Dominion Governments. He applied for the office of Road Super- visor, but those who know him best pro- nounced him utterly incapable of discharg- ing the duties of that or any other office.

The Government, therefore, declined to appoint him. Hence’ his wrathing He is now a_ rabid Grit; but possessed of no influence whatever,

The Patriot gives the name of the local member, D. Martin, among those who ad- dressed the meeting on Murray Harbor Road. Now, asa fact, D. Martin did not attend that meeting at all, nor any other public meeting in the District, but true to his interests prefers the more subtle and deceptive style of going from house to house accompanied by others of that ilk, among whom we may be permitted to name Angus B. McKenzie, Rodk. Muin, anda certain Dr., not from “Stanley,” but from

Charlottetown, and instead of meeting their opponents man-fashion on the public platform, they prefer the

snake in the grass method of poisoning the minds of those who may be allured by their sophistry, !y diseminating falsehoods of the basest kind with the view of creating prejudices and ill-feeling among the peo- ple. The sayings and doings of Mr. v. Martin and his qguondam friends ia this direction may, when least expected, recoil ou their own heads, Mr. Alexander Mar- tin, the local member for Belfast, unlike his oily colleague, attended the meetings, and, ina manly anl independent manner, defended his party on the public platform, and not sneaking among private houses.

The meeting at Montague West School- house was almost unanimous for Dr. Jenkins.

At Avondale, Lot 49—The Liberal-Con- servative speakers were heartily applauded, and the meeting was solid for the Doctor. Besides those meetings regulavly advertized | others have been held during tha week, at | all of which unmistakeable evidences favor- | able to Dr. Jenkins were manifested by the people.

The Long Creek meeting on Saturday night, though held in Farquharson’s strong hold, gave indications to which even Mr. Farquharson himself could not shut his | eyes, of a growing feeling in favor of Dr. Jenkins. A contingent of the Grit brigade from the city went to the Long Creek meeting. Among them, Isaac Muriley, Angus Gallant, Chas, Davy, Duncan Mc- Rae (Commodore) and several others. Mr. L. H. Davies addressed the meeting on behali of Mr. Welsh, and Mr. Neil Me- Leod in the interest of Dr. Jenkins in the Liberal-Conservative party. Mr. Davies’ sophistry in relation to failures which he attributed to the N. P., received a scathing exposure from Mr. N. McLeod. In fact, 80 great was the humiliating position to which Mr. Davies placed himse'f by his extravagant and reckless utterances, that his own friends admitted he was badly worsted in the argument.

THE CAMPAICN. Grand Meeting at Mivacedis Cross.

FEELING STRONGLY LIBERAL CONSERVATIVE,

Pursuant to public notice a large number of the influential and independent electors of Lots 34, 35 and 36, assembled at Glenal idale Schoolhouse on Friday evening last to hear the political issue of the day dis- cussed,

iv. Michael Chairman.

Hon. D. Ferguson on being called upon spoke at length upon all the great questions of the day, and manfuily upheld the cause f the Liberal-Conservative Party and its popular nominee, Dr. Jenkins. He showed a thorough knowledge of the political ques- tions under discussion, and was applauded throughout his speech, and cheered loudly when he had concluded. It was the general opinion that Mr. Davies showed ‘‘the better part of valor’ in shunning an opponent of such ability and eloquence, and that with- out doubt he had been ‘‘floored every time”’ is THe Examiner stated.

He was followed by Donald A. McDon- ald, Esq., who, in a very rambling and senseless speech, in which he went over he Corn Laws of England, the coming Presidential election in the United States, ind all around the world to boot, in a vain endeavor to carry out the programme laid lown for him by Mr. Davies, and the est who sent him. He _ showed very bad taste and worse judgment by en- deavoring to introduce personal disagree- meats, long past and gone; but the manly electors present put their foot upon it at mee, and requested him to confine himself to the public questions of the day. After wearying bis hearers almost out of patience he resumed his seat in silence, without one voice being raised on his side.

He was followed, on behalf of Dr. Jenkins and the Liberal-Conservative Party by Mr. John S. McDonald, of Charlotte- town, and Mr. M. W. Murphy, of Mill Cove, and as no further opposition was made in behalf of Mr. Walsh, the meeting, after tendering a vote of thanks to the Chairman, and giving three cheers each for the Queen, for Dr. Jexkins, for Hon, D. Ferguson, and for Sir John A. McDonald and his Government, quietly dispersed. The last sight that greeted the eyes of the electors as they filed from the rcom being the tirm of of Denald A. McDonald, Esq., standing on the floor alone and wildly waving his bat while he strove, but strove in vain—to raise a cheer for the delusive war cry of the Grits,

Meeting at Stanhope.

A LARGE and orderly meeting was held at Stanhope on Saturday evening. Half-hour speeches were the rule. Hon, Donald Ferguson was the first speaker. He gave an able and convincing address, based on fact ; and was followed by Mr. Henry Beer, M. P. P., who shirked the issues, and, in fact, tried to divert attention from the points at issue. He was well angwered

Mr. J. 8S, McDonald, Barrister, etc., of this City, who brought the attention of the men on the issues involved in the election. Mr. McDonald pointed out the absurdity and uselessness of voting for a man who came out as an Oppositionist-Independent, against a Government strong in the confi dence of the people of Canada and in a majority of about seventy, and warned Liberal-Conservative electors against being beguiled by the ‘Independence cry.” He also alluded to the fact that the Opposition have no policy, and are unable—as their utter failure when they were in power proved—either to formulate or carry out any definite policy for the good of the country.

Mr. F, L. Heszard, Bariister, etc., then spoke in favor of the Independent Grit,and were followed by Messrs. Ferguson, Beer, and Peter Campbell. The latter gentle- man asked Mr. Beer to define the policy of the Grits ? Of course, Mr. Beer could not answer, for the Grits have no policy! The meeting broke up at about 11.30 o'clock, with cheers for both candidates,

Meeting at Avondaie.

A large meeting was held at Avondale, on Saturday evening. George O'Neill, Esq., occupied the chair.

The meeting was addressed by Dr. Jenkins, Mr. Walsh, Patrick Blake,M. P.P., D. A. McDonald, and Mr. P. Koughan. The latter gentleman’s address was de- livered in a mild and straightforward manner, and showed that he was well informed onthe questions at issue. Mr. Blake's speech was a masterly effort—one of the best he has made during the campaign. The meeting was enthu- siastically in favor of Dr, Jenkins and the Liberal-Conservative Party. seo

Meeting at Rustico Bank.

About two hundred electors attended the meeting held at Rustico Bank, on Saturday evening. Domitian Gallant, Esg., occu. pied the chair. The meeting was address- ed by Hon. Dr. Ross, (Premier of Quebec), E. J. Hodgson Esq., Q. C., P. R. Bowers,

Mr. Thomas Doyle, Mr. 8. Blanchard, and Donald McKay Esq., M. P. P. The speech of Mr. Ross was very eloquent, and made a great impression ip the meeting. The weetiag was unanimoys for Dr Jenkins, and the great Liberal-Conservattve Party, led by Sir John McDonald. At its close a hearty and enthusiastic vote of thanks was tendered to Hon. Mr. Ross.

-—-.

Meeting at Long Creek.

A large meting was held at Long Creek, West River, on Saturday evening. Andrew Dickieson, Esq., occupied the chair. The speakers were Messrs. Donald Farquharson, A. &. McLean, L. H. Davies, Neil McLeod, A. L. Bridges, and Rev. Stephen G. Lawson.

The Hon. Neil McLeod's speech in repiy io that of Mr Davies wasa very able ex- position of the points at issue.

[t is the belief of residents of the district that the Liberal Conservative Party will poll a far larger vote at Long Creek than ever before.
