which the United States aad Canada can

i ia io the highest deoree satisinctory |
sara from the most reliable sources that he canvass in King's County is progressing sore favorably than was anticipated. Mac- onala Maclean have entered upon he campaign with vigor. They did not go | » the United States to seek a sign by which
they
and
» eonquer. adopted the patriotic oliey set forth in the manifesto of Sir whn A. Macdonald. They have no sym- athy with the Party whose leaders have itely been hobnobbing with the authorities t Washineton. They are for the party rhich has built up Canada the vader who says, * A British subject | was orn ; a British subject I will die.” They | re both practical business men who know rell the wants and interests uf the County nd will be able to properly represent the tonaty in Parliament. It is not, therefore,
aud for
urprising that the electors are nobly re- ponding to their call for support agains! he treasonable policy of the Opposition epresented by the ** twa doctors.” At the wesent writing, it seems more than likely hat, a8 in the Provincial election, so in he Dominion election, King’s County will « the banner Liberal-Conservative County f Prince Edward Island.
Another Lie Nailed.
Tuw Evening Telegram —a leading grit journal of Toronto—announced, on what it ailed unexceptional authority, that Mr. Laarier held in his pocket a letter from Secretary Blaine in which he distinctly re- fused to negotiate with any party in Canada but the Liberal party upon ,the question of commercial union.
This statement attracted much attention, for it was not known how far the grit poli- ticlans had committed themselves to annex- ation with the Washicgton statesmen. It was their plan to spring this story of Hlaine’s refusal to treat with any party but themselves, on the eve of the elections when it would be have denial widely spread. The story was to be taken up by the Americaa papers who favor annexation, and it was hoped in this way to carry the election, and then the mask was to be thrown off and annex- ation openly advocated. But some in- judicious fellow let the cat out of the bag tuo soon, and Mr. Blaine, who is an honor- able man, refused to be a party to Grit treachery and the following is the*telegram which was immediately sent from Washing-
too late to a
ton :
** Secretary Blaine this afternoon made a pomitive denial of the statement telegraphed trom Toronto to the effect that Hon. Mr, (Laurier had a letter from him in which he distinetly refuses to negotiate with any party n Canada but the reform party upon the question of commercial union. Mr. Blaine caid ; ‘It is without the slightest foundation. | have written no such letter. Indeed, I have not written a letter to any Canadian since | hecrme Secretary of State two years ago.’ ”

A Wise Discrimination.
A wise, judicious and patriotic discrimine- tion—not against the Mother Country, but ia favor of our own people—ought to be ex- ercised in avy negotiations which may be carried on for the purpose of obtaining reci- procity of trade with the States. Under Uvrestricted Reciprocity our farmers will have decidedly too much of a go.d thing so long as the following prices—collated by one of our most respectable and intelligent farmers—continue to rule in the States :—
indian Corn (per bushel)......-..-..... $0 24 W heat o al wens these ae Oats e teececeeeereces 0.20 Barley “ ih <peebionaaty O88 Hay, (per tom)... ..- 6... eee reece ees 4.62
“Eecovld never consent to the Loliverein peter for obvious reasons, but | casnot conceive why any one should object to recipro- eat free tr secured by treaty ana not inimical te the interests of direst Britain as the heart of the Empire. I shall feet it to be my vote in the direction ot these remarks in Parliament. — Hon. Alexander McKenzie, 1891.
profitably reciprocate, will tend to heal the differences which disturb the friendly re- lations of the two countries, will not neces- sitate a beavy discrimination againet the Mother Country, will not necessitate direct taxation, and will be mutually beneficial and satisfactory to Canada, to the United States, and to Great Britain.
4. The policy of Sir John Macdonald tendsto preserve our British institutions, and to develop a great Canadian Nation- ality, while that of Mr. Laurier must in- evitably result in the logs of British insti- tutions and the merging of Canada with the Republic of the States.
5. The John A. Macdonald, involves of necessity the construction of railways, canals and tunnels for the promotion of interprovincial commerce, and therefore the construction of the Northumberland Straits tunnel, will be in accord with it; but the policyof Mr.
operation of the policy of Sir
| Laurier is to “‘apply the pruning knife.”
6. Sir John A. Macdonald has, on the representation of Senator Howlan and our Local Government that Sir Douglas Fox is engaged in making an estimate of the coset of the proposed tunnel, promised to submit the question to Parliament for their favor- able consideration if the cost. comes within a reasonable amount; but’Mr. Laurier, having regard to the traditional policy of the op- position, which opposed the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway and the great canals, has been careful to make no promise whatever in respect to ii—though he has tried to bamboozle our people with indefinite words which mean nothing.
7. We want branch railways to place the people of Murray Harbor, Belfast and New London on an equal footing with those who possess and enjoy the great advantages of railway accommodation ; the construction of these railways is dependent upon the con- struction of the tunnel ; the construction of the tunnel in the near future is dependent upon the return to power of Sir John A, Macdonald.
Therefore, ifthe electors of Prince Ed- ward Island desire to promote the interests of Canada at large, and their own Province in particular, they will vote straight for the candidates who support the Government of Sir John A. Macdonald.

“ What Will they Say in the Old Land?’
A London despatch reports that the Canadian situation attracts much attention in the mother country. The Government, it is said, manifests the greatest concern in the outcome of Sir John’s campaign. It is felt that Canada is about to decide a momentous question affecting all of the The press holds that the McKinley law is responsible for the situa-

tion. It is known that the British Gov- ernment goes further back and recognizes the fact that active measures are necessary
to revive her at present drooping export trade with Canada. Asa means of wean-
ing Canada from any longings fer recip-
rocity or absorption, the Government, after consulting a ,number of big financial houses, has decided to back to an almost unlimited extent the pro-
jected mail routes to Japan and Australia, via the Canadian Pacific railway. in con- nection with this route it is proposed to run a line between a portin the South of England and Halifax under a Government subsidy, and also to proceed to immediate- ly fortify Esquimault as a first class naval station. Ifafter all, the people should adopt the American scheme of Unrestricted Reciprocity, which involves discrimination againt Great Britain, what will they say in the old land ? at + >> <a
—The St. John Telegraph says unie- stricted reciprocity means one tari for the two countries. The Montreal Witness in- timates the same thing. Mr. Prefontaine, Liberal candidate, saya it means that Can- ada shall adopt the United States’ tariff. Mr. Wiman says that under it Washington will arrange the Canadian tariff. These men kuow what they are talking about, aod are honest enough to say it. The free trade liberals are fighting for the highest tarifl in the eivilized world for Canada.

The Military social.
Tae Examiner must congratulate Lieut- Col. Moore upon the great success ,of%the Artillery Brigade Social in McLeod's Hall last night ; for it was a social in the fullest sense of the term. The hall was appro- priately decorated and fitted up for the nceasion. Besides the officers and men of the brigade there were present the officers of the 82nd Battalion and Engineers, a number of citizens and representatives of the three daily papers of the city. —_Lieut- Col, Moore presided, having on his right Brigade Major Irving and on his left Col- onel Dogherty. Ali present thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The programme was made up as follows :—-

This programme was carried out in a manner highly creditable to the different performers. Nearly every number was en- thusiastically encored. Mr. W. A.

About eleven o’ciock the merry gathering broke up, after giving ringing cheers for Lieut.-Cols. Irving and Moore, the civilian guests and the Queen,
Farmers’ Meeting.
Pursuant to notice, a large and influential meeting of farmers was held in the Head cf Hillsboro’ Schoolhouse on Saturday, the 14th inst,
Mr. James Rattray being called to the chair, explained in few well chosen remarks the object of the meeting which was to organize a farmers’ club. Then followed speeches by many present, stating the great advantages that would likely be obtained in unity among farmers.
The following officers were then appointed ;
President— David D. Coffin. Vice-President—Artemas J. Jardine, Sevretary—Frank C Jardine. Treasurer—Angus Gunn.
Committee —John J Macdonald, Frank C Jardine, Heary Cofiia.
The object of the meeting is to discuss the best means to increase the fertility of the soil, the improvement of the stock, and all matters appertaining to the interests of the farmer.

To Bewrass,
In the present politic al canip vignh we are happy to inform you that we in this cis- trict are even more united than on any former occasion}; and we hope you are also in unison with us. We feel in expressing our views on railway matters that our winds are in complete accord with yours.
Too well we have to remember the grand opportunity that was lost when your dis- trict and ours might have secured our right and equal share of branch railways with 1 ions of Province. We unite and ask with yourselves, Who was in fault? The reply is weil-known to us all. Too sadly we must recall such names as Robertson, Laird and Davies, who gt one time figured conspicuously in the affairs of ouy district. Through desire of personal gain and ambitious pride, coupled wit! party prejudice, your district and ours were dene! the branch railway that we were in ali jastice and fairplay entitled to,
Now, we feel it is our duty wo call on you to unite with us and make one grand, noble push for our rights as districts, and with no uncertain sound resent the insult and disgrace left vpon us by our former (inis)representatives. Some of them are now asking us to place our confidence in them in the present contest. We would be de- grading our manhood to do so. Let us re- sent the invitation as an insult to our honor, and instead of electing them we will show that we have no use for them or their party. We will elect men who are supporters of the government led by Sir John A. Macdenald.
By Senator Howlan’s letter in the Werxty ExaMinen of the 13th, we are glad to know that the tunnel project ie getting into better shape at every step, and we have without doubt good reason to believe that Sir Jolin A. Macdonald wheu resurned to power will! ask Parliament to vote a sum of money to carry ovt the project. It is now generally admitted that the @ouserwative party wiil govern the Dominion for the next five seas. Then is it not our .duty to send supporters of that government to Ottawa, which action on our part will shew to Parliavent that we are ia earnest in our demands? If we, on this occ wion; do our duty to our couatiy in #1p- porting the Conservative Government, we firmly believe that the contract tor the con- struction of the tunnel will be let in a very short space of time. This accomplished, a railway to Belfast and Murray Harbor must of necessity follow.
We ask, are we going to let this opportunity also pass without attempting to take advantage of it? We cannot afford to run the risk by placing our confidence in the Liberal candi- dates on this occasion. Once is too often to lose by their culpable carelessness. One united effort and victory will be perched on our banners, resulting in the seeming of a tunnel across the the straits and railway through our two districts.
