Reciprecity Considered.

Ir the question of Reciprocity with the United States be within the sphere of prac- tical polities,—and of this we may well en- tertain great doubt—it is a question to be considered. The Patriot's idea of “* Agitating Reciprocity ” There should not be imported into the discussion any of the We should conditions and circumstances of our country, and then dis-

is evidently wrong.

agitation of political warfare. first consider well all the

cuss and decide the question with a single future prosperity and well being of our country.

In any case, Mr. Kickham is to be con” gratulated upon having directed the atten- tion of our House to a subject worthy the consideration of its members. The propriety of taking any legislative action upon it is, in our vupinion, to be something more than doubted, But a quiet

ought

When looking into the matter, the honorable gentlemen of the Upper House will, of course, first ask themselves: ‘** Is there any hope that the old Reciprecity Treaty can be revived?” The answer must be: ‘No, there is not.” Sir A. T. Galt, George Brown, Sir John Macdonald and Sir Charles Tupper, our ablest statesmen and most successful negotiaters, have each and «il striven to obtain a renewal of reci- procity on the old lines—in vain. The United States politicians will none of it. At the present moment we see that all the British possessions in America have been deliberately excluded from participation in & conference called by the United States Government for the purpose of securing reciprocal Free Trade between the republics of America. At the sama time we see the United States Congress engaged in raising and adding to the duties imposed upon articles impurted from Cinada—articles sasn 48 potatoes, eggs, horses, fish, lumber, etc. —thus heightening the tariff wall, and Ciusing up all the brewhes in it, so that it may be absolutely prohibitury to Can- adisos. Is it reasonable to suppose that the United States will, under these con- ditions, consent to a renewal of the old Reciprocity Treaty, or to anything like it? It is not reasonable. We must put away, at once and forever, the thought that a Treaty of Reciprocity can be negotiated oa fair torms between ths Unised States and Cinada, so long as Canada continues to be not a republic.

But, it is said, we can obtain “Unre. stricted Reciprocity.” Can we? If we ean, the Government and Congress of the United States must be quite destitute of principles of action, How can they, in the face of the ‘Pan-American Conference” ani the prohibitory duties they are now enter into a treaty or any arraugement providing for ‘*Unrestricted Rsciprocity” with Canada? The idea is impossible, except on the hypotheses that the United States puliticians are mere shysters, or that they may be actuated by the ulterior motive of laying Canada under cvnmercisl tribute to the United States, and foccing the people of Cinada to become nationally as well as commercially one with the Great Republic.

Well, suap ose thit we are ready to “‘sell out to the States;” suppose that we are willing to turn traitor to Queen Victoria, aud exchange our British Institations for Repuclican Ins itutions, in order that we may obtain Unrestricted Free Trade with the United States—how will the people and posterity of Canada stand affected ? We have the raw material, the coal, and iren, and lumber, and fish, and potatoes: they have well establish- et manufactures and large commercial cities. They will naturally, under Unre- stricted Reciprocity, come here, buy their raw inaterials, and take them to their big towns; then our surplus population will necessarily follow after to assist in their manufactures; and our merchants and traders will, of course, go to their towns to buy goods, paying therefor the cash they have received for the raw materials, and a substantial sum in addition to cover the cost of transport and manufacture, as well as the profits of the United States manufac- turers and merchants. Charlottetown. Pictou, New Glasgow, St. John, Halifax Moactun and Amherst, not to speak of other Canadian towns, will be a long time

ie * building up” under these conditions, and our farmers will look long and in vain

for their near and convenient and paying hom? markets.

be remerabered, too, that the agricultural conditions existing in the Usited States have changed wonderfully since the time during which the old Reci- procity Treaty was in operation. Then the farms of the great West had not been developed ; then the greotest civil war cf ancient or moijern times was, for several years, raging in the United States, and our

tion of United States’ agriculture. Now the fertile prairies of the West yield abund- antly, and there are great trans-continental railways to carry produce East and West to the commercial and manufacturing towns of the sea board. So that our farmers, or those trading for them, would be now met in the markets of Boston and New York by the keenest competitors, —while the United States fishermen would come down here and take away all, or nearly all, the fish that these markets would require.

In the city of Boston, for instance, choice beef had been selling at 7 and 7}$ cents per pound, while common to good is quoted at 4 to 4} cents. Would our farmers make much money by feeding beeves for the United States markets at such prices as these? Pork is selling in the same market at prices ranging from $11 to $12.50 per barrel, and lard at from 6 tu 7$ cents per lb. Where would the profit be for our farmers» compelled, under Unrestricted Reciprocity, tu ship pork to the commercial centres of the United States? The prices of oats range, in the same market, at from 29 to 34 cents. Would our farmers make much money by growing oats and paying freight and charges to the ports of Boston and New York? In some years we might tind & profitable market in the States for pota- toes, and in other years we mightn’t, just asthe crop in the States proved to be large or small. But it must not be forgotten that the prices of these articles in the States would inevitably come down as a result of the free competition of Canada in the United States markets. So that we could not, under Unrestricted Reciprocity, hope to obtain, proportionately to supply and demand, such good prices as those which now prevail, The Provincial markets have, in recent years, been flooded with beef, pork, corn etc , of United States pro- duction, notwithstanding the heavy duties imposed upon these articles by the ’:omin- ion Government. Remove the duties undera system of Unrestricted Reciprocity aad our farmers’ home market for these articles would be swamped !

On the other hand, suppose that we stand true to our Queen, hold fast to our British institutions, and continue in the fiscal policy of defence which we entered fpon in 1879,—what will probably be the result? We know that the ‘‘ Provincial market” has *‘ stiffened up” considerably as a result of this policy. What should we have done with our vats and many other articles of produce if it were not for the in- creasing demand in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick resulting from the devel: pment of our mines and manufacturers ? We have this great natural advantage over the man- ufacturers of the New Eayland States, that we have the coal, iron and lumber all with- in our own borders and close at hand. By our policy of protection these natural resources are being gradually and surely utilized ail along the line. For instance, we read the other day that about $2,000,- 000 would be expended, this year, in the openiog up of the iron mines in the vicinity of New Glasgow. These mines once devel- oped, and manufactures established in con- nection therewith,—our farmers will be assured in a near and steady market fora certain amount of their produce for all time tocome. A similar development extended to Moncton, Amherst and other neighbor- ing towns would soon result in the estak- lishment of home markets for all the surplus produce which P. E. Island farmers can raise.

It will, perhaps, be urged that we are paying too much in duties upon iron, etc., for the development of our incalculable natural resuurces. Well, it cost a great deal in labor, and time, and money to clear away our forests and stump our land; but if our fathers had not done the work, we should not now be here enjoying the fruit of their labors, And is it not worth our while to pay a little now~we don’t feel the burden to be very great—in order that we and our children may have the complement of the fertile fields which they have left to us, viz: miningand manufacturing tuwns at our dvors tc be markets fcr our aurplus produce for ail time to come ?

These are a few of the considerations which should be weighed by the members of our Upper House, in the discussion of the question which Mr. Kickham is about to submit to them.

Notes and Comments.

—The international American conference adopted the report of the committee on custums union, which recommends that re- ciprocity treaties negotiated between the several republics of the American hemi- sphere, each making tariff concessions x80 that the peculiar produets of them all may b» introduced free into the others.

—The Marine Department at Ottawa have decided to lay a cable this spring, be- tween St. Paul's I-Jand and Cape North, Cape Breton. Owing to the frequent in. terruptions to the eable from the Magdalen Islands to Bird Rock this work has been considered necessary. The cable between Magdalen Islands and Bird Rock will b

elections. Progress was reported,

Mr. Montgomery asked the Commis- sioner of Public Lands if it was the inten- tion of the Government to repair the wharf at Lot 14 the coming summer. He also asked if it was the intention of the Govern- ment to complete the opeuing of the new road from Spring Valley to Old Town Road, Lot 18, this coming summer. Also, if it was the intention of the Government to com- plete the opening of the new road on Lot 15 (John Guard’s road) from Back Settle- ment to Buchanan’s the coming summer. Also if it was the intention of the Govern- ment to complete the opening of the new road in Lot 14, between Donald MeIntosh’s and Alex. McDonald’s this year. Also if it was the iatention of the Government to complete the opening of the new road from Miscouche to Southwest Road, Lot 16, this year. Also, if it was the intention of the Government to open a new road to Bel- munt, Lot 16, this year.

Hon. Mr. Bentley replied that the en- gineer had inspected the wharf in question some time ago, and that steps had already been taken to have it repaired. The road from Spring Valley to Old Town Road is now under construction, and the other roads enquired about are under the con- sideration of the Government.

House adjourned.

EVENING SESSION.

Mr. Sullivan asked the Commissioner of Public Works if it was the intention of the Government to complete the line of road leading from Byrne’s Road, Lot 39, to Donnelly’s Road, Lot 38, during the en- suing summer. Alsoif it was the inten- tion of the Government to open a new road on Lot 40, as asked for in the petition of William S. Montgomery and others, pre- sented to the House last session.

Hon. Mr. Bentley said that one of the roads enquired about was already under construction, and would be completed at as early a date as possible. The other one was under the consideration of the Govern- ment.

Among those who visited the premises in the afternoon was a representitive of THe EXAMINER who was courtsously shown through their large establishment by the senior member of the firm. The display made was excellent. There was something tosuit every one —and everything was of the best quality and latest design. In the dress goods department we noticed some very handsome London and French robes in embroidered and plaids, and the new Eiffel robe—exceedingly neat and pretty. There were alsu many other beautiful samples of dress goods shown. In mourning goods we saw Henriettas which were bought at greatly reduced prices, and which will be cleared off at a correspondingly low rate. The millinery department was well stocked with the newest and most seasonable articles in that line, including English and American trimmed and untrimmed bonnets and hats, feathers, flowers, etc. Among the bonnets and hats shown were some trimmed by Miss Hobbs, the work on which certainly compares very favorably with that on the imported article. The mantle depart- ment was well stocked with the newest things in that line, including ladies roll-a- way jackets, reefers, dolmans, visites, gossamers and such other articles of dress as are usually found in first-class establish- ments. Passing upstairs to the carpet de- partment we were shown some of the latest designs in that line, including Royal Wil- ton, Velvets, Brussels and Tapestry, as well as a handsome assortment of window cur. tains in Chenille, plain top and a'l-over figured, and silk. The principal portion of the stock of carpets and all the stock of curtains, was, we were informed, bought direct from the manufacturers. We might go on and describe the many other attrac- tions noticeable, but neither time nor space will admit. The show will be con- tinued to-morrow, and those whu have not a ready visited the store and inspected the stuck should do so then.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. The Mark Wright Competition.

Sr1e,—Referriog to a letter in last night’s EXAMINER, signed *‘Teacher,” we wish to say for the information of the competitors for the prizes offered by us, that having re- ceived several hundred competition papers, we have not had sufficient time at our dis- posal, so far, to complete their examin- ation,

Our circular, offering the prizes, did not limit the time for awarding the same, as that, of necessity, would depend to a great extent upon the number of competition papers to be examined. We hope some time in May to be able to inform the com- petitors as to the results.
