Reciprocity.

PROPOSITIONS MADE IN WASHINGTON. ;

Before the N. P., no such proposition as the following could be expected to come}

(580.

from Washington :~ Wasnincron, April 23.- ~The resolution |

from che Foreign Affairs Committee for the! appointme:t of commissioners to wepers a basis for a reciprocity treaty with Canaca, which Mr. Cox favorably reported to the House to-day, grants the commissioners no pewer except to investigate and report their conclusions, since, 4s the report says, Congress has the sole power to crystalize those conclisions into law.

The only question before the committe was whether the subject was of suflicient importance and of such 4 nature as to jus- tify the appointment of a commission. Yanada has recently erected a barrier ayainst our productions and is endeavoring to shut them out. The question presents itself ; Sha!| this great country be forced to become independent ef us by building up within her own territory great manufactur- ing industries of all kinds, which will not enly enable her te live within herself, but to compete with us in other markets of the world, or siall we establish such mutual relations of trade as, while properly pre- tacting the industrial interest of each coun- try, shall be of benefit to both ! 2

The report shows that from 1872 to 1873 the value of Canadian exports was $572,- 833,987 and of her imports $776,343,768, and that our trade with Canada ranks next in importance to that Great with Britain. The New Canadian Tariff went into effect in March, 1879, and its evil effects upon us are already being felt. Coal, which was formerly free, now pays 50 cents a ton. Our exports of coal to the Dominion foer- merly reached 870,672 tons, as against 235,209 tons, the entire annual exports from the Dominion mines. Our exports inte Canada of petrolenm ameunted to &1,- 034,954, and this is new practically shut out from the Canadian markets. The duty en flour, cotton fabrics and sugar are instanced, the latter being practically prohibitory. itis of especial importance that the question should be taken up now before, under the influence ef hostile legis- lation, Canada shall a producer, rather than « consumer, aud susiiceent unte ut- self. A plan by which the defects of the former treaty may be avoided, its merits retained and both countries may be bene- fitted, could be established rather by a treaty with the consent of the House, or by mutual law in the nature of a tari!f law, fixing the terms of interchange of com- modities.

THE CARDIGAN FERRY.

ONE OF HON. MR. FERGUSON'S SPEECHES.

Hon. Mr. Feravson did not think the hon. member for Tignish was dealing fairly with the question before the House, viz., the establishment of a Steam Ferry on the Cardigan River. The hon. genth man had no reason to complain, as the Tiguish Dis- trict had, last year, received a very large graut for public works, and would, this year, also receive a large amount fer that service. In fact, the Public Accounts, next year, would show that the First Dis- trict of Prince County had recvived as much money from the Treasury as any other two districts in the Province. Sev- eral heavy contracts were now being carried out in that District. Asthe hon. member knew this, he (Mr. Perry) should be pos- sessed of sufficient fairness te admit these facts, and not allow the impression to go abroad that his district was neglected. All that King’s County members asked for was a fair share of the public meneys. In the expenditure for Public Works last year, King’s County received ne advantage over either of the other connties. Prince County had therefore no right to complain in that respect. Hop members representing Queen’s County had no right to tind fault, for, during 1878, no less than $14,030 were expended in and around Charlottetownalone for macadamizing. The Right of Way for new roads in Queen’s County had always been much more expensive than those of either of the other Counties. It was unfair, looking at these facts, for any hon. gentleman to raise a secular cry be- cause the grant now proposed was not to be expended in the part of the country re- presented by him. Every claim, for Pub- lic Works, or otherwise, should be consid- ered wholly on its merits. Ever since he had been in pulic life, he had taken this view of the expenditure of the public money. The people ef King’s County had a good claim for a grant for a steamboat on this Ferry. He knew how the trips of the Northern Jight to Georgetown had been grudged to that section of the country, and he felt sure that if that beat could push her prow into any other pert during the win- ter season she would immediately be with- drawn from her present route. The neces- sity for a steam ferry boat on the Car- digan River was partly created by the one on the Montague River, and, if established, it would vastly increase the traflic on

the latter. It the Montague Ferry Boat ever became self-sustaining, it would most! ungustionably be due to the es-| tablishmen! of a steamboat on) the Cardivan Ferry. As the Honse} had agreei to the establishment of a/| Steam Ferry over the Montague River, it! surely would not object te placing a steam- | beat on the Cardigan Ferry at half the cost. | Ke felt sorry to see seme hon. gentlemen | opposing this grant so strongly as they had. | A great deal had been said about the ad | vantages received by the Cardigan district | from the railway; but he could assure the. House that it was only through the estab- | lishment ot a Steam Ferry on the Cardigan

River, that « large portion ef that district

could ever receive any advantage frem the

that ferry. There should be a much greater

pose a matter of this kind upon merely sec- tional grounds. So far as he (Mr. F.) was concerned he could prove, both by his hon. colleagues in the Government and through the Public Accounts, that he had never unfairly pressed claims for his own district which he had not been willing to concede to other districts. The same remark was ap- plicable te every hon, member of the Gov- ernment who represented a constituency in King’s County.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Drar Str,—In yeur issue ef Tuesday evening a correspondent signing himself *‘A friend of the Order,”’ in commenting on the Oddfellow’s entertainment on Monday night last, deals eut a well merited rebuke te those who bad the management and control of the evening's proceedings. :

it would not be just, however, to the major- ity of the members composing the various Lodges in this Island, to allow the impression to remain on the public mind, that the enter- tainment was ‘“‘under the auspices of the Odfeilows of P. E. Island.”

The entertainment was under the auspices Neither Prince Ed- ward Lodge, of Summerside, nor Wildey Lodge, of Charlotietown, Colville Lodge, of Souris, or Port la Joie Encampment, had pact or shace, directly or indirectly, in the pre- ceedings of the evening.

A few members of Wildey Lodge consented to simg the§*‘ Opening Ode,” presuming, of course, that the programme, as arranged and published, would have been carried out. ’

The entertainments given by Odfeilows in the past have always been characterized by a vein of pleasing morality, and I trust the pub- lic will not too hastily condemn the Order generally for the blunders of the ‘‘ committee ef twe.” Yours truly,

ODDFELLOW. April 28, 1580. +E > Vo the Editor of the Kaaminer.

Sir, ~The criticisms in reference to the Concert given by the Oddiellows on Monday evening last, are, in my opinion, harsh and unjust. It is well known that entertainments gotten up by this Order have been excellent. Although several verses in two volunteer songs could very well be omitted, I consider it very unkind te blaine the Order or its committee for the indiscretion.

When performers are encored the audience generally accept any song delivered, and the chairman or committee do not exercise any jurisdiction over the selection. The public must surely know that the Oddfellows them- selves feel annoyed ever the mistake made by two well meaning performers at the recent concert Thereis, however, a possibility of creating mountains out of molehills, nnd in the present instance it is quite evident that the objectionable has been awfully magnified.

The scandal mongers have, in this case, re- ceived a sweet morsel, and those scorpion tongued “creatures are making a terrible ado aboutit. ‘‘ Honi soit qui maly pense.”

Yours truly, FAItRPLayY. Ch’town, April 27, 1880.

Beliveau Devalopments.

The work of tunnelling at the bottom of the Pit No. 2, tewards the vein of aibertite touched by the diamond borer, have been proceeding satisfactorily till a few days ago, when a couple of miners were struck by a sudden jet or outburst of gas and threwn | ack from the face of the level some twenty feet, though not injured. The presence of gas together with the issue of water has prevented the work being since actively prosecuted. An air fan is being prepared, which, when completed, wiil ven- tilate and permit work being resumed. In the meantime the issue of gas continues un- abated. A representative of the Post visited the mine on Monday. The pit was then partially submerged. The roar of escaping gas was almost like distant thun- der, One of the bore holes was unplugged in the reporter’s presence and a light ap- plied to it, When at once, a large, brilliant flame shot up, and burned fer some time steadily, until the whole was replugged. Arguing frem the analogy furnished by ex- perience of mining in the Albert Mine, the presence of gas is an evidence of albertite— perhaps not amounting to a demonstration, but still a fact establishing the very great probability. of the near presence of albertite in quantity. In all cases where there is albertite, there is likely to be gas. owing to the highly inflammable character of the material, and it is this fact that has led to the discovery of some ef the pockets worked in the Albert Mine. Some of the stock- holders appear to be sanguine they are on the eve of an important discevery.—Chig- necte Post. -
