(Continued )
‘*Be quiet, I tell you,” said his inexor- able patron, ‘‘and hear me out.—We will take him at unawares, so that he shall neither have time to use cutlass nor pops ; and I myself, for the dear love I bear him, will be the first to lay him on his back. There is a nice tight-going bit of a pinnace, that is aconsort of this chase of the Cap- tain’s,—if I have an opportunity, I'll snap her up on my own account.”
‘* Yes, yes,” said Derrick, ‘‘ let you alone for..keeping on the look-out for your own
comforts.”
‘* Faith, nay,” said Bunce, “1 only snatch at them when they come fairly in uy way, or are purchased by dint of my owm wit ; and none of you could have fallen on such a plan as this. We shall have the Captain with us, head, hand, and heart, and all, besides making a scene fit to finish a comedy. So I will go ashore to make the appointment, and do you possess some of the gentlemen who are still sober, and fit to be trusted, with the knowledge of our inteitions.”’
Bunce, with his friend Fletcher, depart- ed accordingly, and the two veteran pirates remained lovking at each other in silence, until the Boatswain spoke at last. ‘* Blow me, Derrick, if I like these two daffadan- dilly young fellows ; they are not the true breed. Why, they are no more like the rovers | have known, than this sloop is tu a first-rate. Why, there was old Sharpe that read prayers to his ship's company every Sunday, what would he have said to have heard it proposed to bring two wenches on board ?’
‘* And what would tough old Black Beard have said,” answered his companion, ‘*‘ if they had. expected to keep them to them- selves? They deserve to be made walk the. plank for their impudenge, or to be tied back to back and set a-diving, and I care not how soon.”
‘**Ay, but who is to command the ship, then?” said Hawkins.
‘* Why, what ails you at old Goffe?” answers Derrick.
‘Why, he has sucked the monkey so long and to often,” said the Boatswain, that the best of him is buffed. He is little better than an old woman when he is sober, and he is roaring mad when he is drunk— we have had enough of Goffe.”
“Why, then, whard’ye say to yourself, or to me, Boatswain?” demanded the (juarter-master. ‘**Il am content to toss up for it.”
‘Rot it, no,” answered the Boatswain, alter a moment’s consideration; ‘‘if we were within reach of the trade-winds, we inight either of us make a shift; but it will take all Cleveland’s navigation to get us there; and so, 1 think, there is nothing like Bunce’s project for the present. Hark, he calls for the boat—I must go on deck and have her lowered for his honor, d—n his eyes.”’
The boat was lowered accordingly; made its voyage up the lake with safety, and landed Bunce within a few hundred yards of the old mansion-house of Stennis. Upen arriving in front of the house, he found that hasty measures had been taken to put it in a state of defence, the lower windows being barricaded, with places left for use of musketry, and a ship-gun being placed sv as to command the entrance, which was be- sides guarded by two sentinels. Bunce demanded admission at the gate, which was briefly and unceremoniously refused to him, with an exhortation to him,.at the same time, to be gone about his business before worse came of it. As he continued, however, importunately to insist on seeing some one of the family, and stated his business to be of the most urgent nature,
laud Halcro at length appeared, and, with more peevishness than belonged vo his usual manner, that admirer of glorious John expostulated with his old acquaint- ance upon his pertinacious folly.
‘* You are,” said he, “like the foolish moths fluttering about a candle, which is sure at last to consume you.”
** And you,” said Bunce, ‘are a set of stingless drones, whom we can smoke out of your defences at our pleasure, with half- a-dozen of hand grenades.”
‘*‘Smoke a fooil’s head!” said Halcro; “‘take my advice, and mind your own mat- ters, or there will be those upon you will cmoke you to purpose. Esther begone, or tell me in two words what you want; for you are like to receive no welcome here save from a blundefbuss. We are men enough of ourselves; and here is young Mordaunt Mertoun come from Hoy, whom your Cap- tain so nearly murdered.”
‘*Tush, man,” said Bunce, ‘‘ he did but let out a little malapert blood.”
‘*We want no such phlebotomy here,”’ said Claud Halero; ‘‘ and, besides, your patient turns out to be nearer allied to us than either you or we thought of ; so you may think how little welcome the Captain or any of his crew are like to be here.’
‘‘Well; but what if I bring money for the stcres sent on board ?”
‘« Keep it till it is asked of you,” said Halcro. ‘‘There are two bad paymasters — he that pays too soon, and he that does not pay at all.”
**Well, then, let me at least give our thanks to the donor,” said Bunce.
‘Keep them, too, till they are asked for,” answered the poet.

WHAT IT INVOLVES. Speech of Hon. George Foster.
(Hansard Report.) [ CONTINUED. ]
Even though these hon. gentlemen in their position as being in the Government had wished for anything like that the solid common sense of the Premier at that time _ intervented between his party and such absurd non- sense as they seemed to be guilty of when once his leadership was taken from them. He made, as the Government which pre- ceded him made,
HONEST, STRAIGHTFORWARD AND RESPECTING PROPOSALS
to the United States over and over again, and when he exhausted all that honorable proposal could make with reference to the country in this matter of trade, and when some Of his followers foolishly pressed on the hon. gentleman to enter into negotia- tions again and again, Mr. Mackenzie ruse in his place in Parliament and said: No, I have made proposals, Canada has taken the initiative again and again, our preposals have been refused ; now we will wait until the power to the south of us makes some
SELF-
proposition to us, which we will be pre- pared to consider and to entertain. Yes, there is this diminution in trade. But let
me say something im support of my prepo- sition that the whole truth was not stated. Does not my hon. friend know that the trade of a country is not to be measured by the sum of its imports plus the sui of its exports! Does he not knuw that it is not a fair comparative measurement to simply give the sum total of the exports and im- ports without going into the quality of the imports? My hon. friend knows that the great difference between the imports in his period and the imports since 1878 has been this: that while the imports then consisted of articles, not only natural articles but articles upon which all labor had been expended tu make them perfect and com- plete in a foreign country, the cost of which was added to the natural cost and this went to swell the sum total of the imports, to-day
THE EXACT OPPOSITE
is the case in several of the most important particulars, and to-day a large quantity is brought in in the rough, in the less costly form, and it is worked up for the consump- tion of this people by the labor of our own people here. Siryim-the former time ships went to the country for raw _ sugar. The raw product was taken to Great Britain, and British ships took the freights upon it. That sugar was carried on British railways to British refineries, and British railways had their profits. British workmen worked up the sugar, and the wages were paid to British people. Then it’ was ‘put in cars and steamships and sent to St. John, Hali- fax or Montreal with the maximum of cost;
‘and that, Sir, went into the figures upon
which'the total imports were based. That was the case with 95 per cent., if I mistake not, of the sugar consumed here. To-day, of the whole sugar consumed in this coun- try 96 per cent., “if I mistake not, comes raw from the places where it is grown ; it is brought into our own country, it is carried upon our own railways, worked up in our own refineries, and all the added cost put upon it goes into the pockets of our own people. That, of course, makes a vast difference. So itis with the cotton trade and the woolen trade and with a hundred and one other products, though in a less degree, but yet in some degree. The hon. member for South Oxford took care not to state this fact, but the people will take care to remember it and to ponder it well before they adopt the heroic remedy, Well, Sir, there is another question that is necessary to be put: If our trade is decreasing,
HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS FACT?
In 1875 the total registered tonnage enter- ing into and out of the ports of this coun- try, excluding coasting vessels always, was 9.537,000 tons, in 1876 it was 9,911,000 tons, in 1887 it was a little more than 14,- 000,000 tons. Did the vessels come in simply for pleasure; were they simply beating about upon the wild and yeasty waves, making port now and then for the purpose of getting entered and cleared; or were they here on business and to carry on the commerce of the country? The latter evidently. From 1875 to 1879 the average tonnage of Canada, asI have explained, was 10,700,900 tons, the average tonnage from 1880 to 1887 was 13,700,000 tons, an increase of 5,000,000 a year on an average. What is all this doing! Take the railways. They are far more in number now than they were then; they have far more carrying capacity now than they had formerly, and the records as given in the railway statistics show an immense increase in the freight carried. That increase is something like this: In 1876 the tons of freight carried by rail in Canada were 8,000,000 odd, in 1886 they were nearly 16,000,000, almost double the amount of freight that was carried by our railways in 1879. What does this mean? Is this freight which is being carried down to one terminus put on board some train and carried back to another terminus to show the amount of freight carried or is it real trade? Evidently the latter. My hon. friend’s promises were wrong and his contention was utterly futile when he strove to make us believe, that we should adopt a heroic remedy because of this alleged falling off in the volume of trade. He always says that we have no inter-pro- vincial trade. Why, in relation to this I can refer my Nova Scotia friends to one of their organs—I mean one of their man- ly organs and not a newspaper organ,
(To be continued.)
