The City Schools.

Tue arrangements for the Public Exam- inations of the City Schools are better than they were last year. Parents and others are invited, first, to attend the particular school in which they are especially interest- ed, and then to go to Upper Prince Street School,or to St. Patrick’s Hall,vnd hear the speeches, witness the distribution of prizes, etc. We understand that examiners have been appointed for each School ; and that they will report at the general examinations to be held in Upper Prince Street School and St. Patrick’s Hall. The work of ex- amination will thus be better done in a shorter time, the labor more equally distri- buted, and the results more accurately known,than last year. The separate exam- ination of each school will commence at 10 e’clock, a. m. The general meeting will be held in Upper Prince Street School at 1p. m.,and in St. Patrick’s Hall at 2

p. m.

M. Joly’s Opinions, and their Bearing upon the Hiections.

Tue Patriot would have us believe tuat M. Joly’s opinions upon the tariff question have no bearing upon the trade issue before the people in the coming elections. When itis remembered that M. Joly holds the very same position in Quebec, with relation to the Mackenzie Government, that Mr. L. H. Davies does in this Province, the Patriot's attempt to mislead its readers, are nothing short of impudent. It is to M. Joly—just asto Mr. L. H. Davies—that Premier McKenzie directs his ‘* private and confidential” correspondence. It is through M. Joly—just as it is through Mr. L. H. Daviee—that he promises seats in the Cabinet. In short, M. Joly is in Quebec just what Mr. L. H. Davies is here, Premier McKenzie’s ‘‘ strong card.” To believe that M. Joly’s opinions and wishes upon the Tariff Question are not and will not be consulted by the McKenzie Party, is

to believe a fiction patent to every one.

M. Joly is as pronounced a protectionist as there is in the whole Dominion ; and it is upon M. Joly that Premier McKenzie de- pends for success in the coming elections.

- Can it, then, be possible for Mr. McKenzie

to carry out a Free Trade Policy ?

Who Pays the Duty? . ee

Ixy the hope of bothering the farmer in his atudy of the one sided system, the Organized Hypocrisy and its press maintain (although itis pretty certain they don’t believe it) that the American consumer pays the differ- ence between the two tariffs. But here is United States authority on that subject. On the 24d July, 1868, the Collector of Customs at Oswego wrote to the Treasury Department :—

“The effect of the abrogation of the reci- procity treaty, in my opinion, has been the addition of several millions of dollars to the United States revenue at the expense of our Canadian friends. * * * As it now is, the import duty is paid by the Canadian producer or manufacturer, and not by the American consumer. Any reduction in the rate of duties on importations from Canada would benefit them just as much, and would not lower the market value here.”

The Collector at Buffalo writes, under date of December 18, 1868 :—

“The termination of the treaty of reci-

rocity between the United States and the

anailian Provinces, and the subsequent im- position of duties under the tariff enactments on articles of importation, has been a source of large revenue tothe United States Govern- ment. the burden of which has been borne by the foreign producer or manufacturer ; and any abatement or reduction of duties would, of course, redound to the advantage of such pro- ducer or manufacturer, and would not tend to

reduce the value of the articles imported into this market.”

Under date of December, 28th, 1866, the United States Consul at Clifton wrote to the Treasury Department :—

The amount of exports, with the exception of lumber, to the United States, can have little effect. upon the markets of the latter country, and the result is, that the duty paid on such exports is borne wholly by the producers, who, in receiving the benefits of the markets of the country are thereby compelled to bear a por- tion of the burden of contributing to the sup- port of its institutions.”

** In this way,” says an American writer on the Trade question, ‘‘ the people of the Dominion annually contribute, out of their own pockets, from eight to ten millions of dollars towards defraying our national ex- penses.” ‘fhe United States duty is paid by the Canadian farmer whose price is dock- ed from the amount of the duty per bushel or otherwise.

The Fire this Morning.

Ar three o’clock this morning, a fire origin- ated in a stable in the rear of the Union House. Although the place of its origination was immediately under the bedroom windows of a family who lived at the east side of the stable, the fire was not discovered until it was largely At ten minutes past three, the At that time the fire

under way. fire alarm was sounded. had increased to a devouring extent; and, on the arrival of the fire brigade, it presented a most uncontrollable appearance. Silsby En- gine and the Hook and Ladder Company, were the first on the grounds. ‘The engine took a position on Queen’s Wharf; the Ladder Com- pany was ordered to the house, and they were soon at work battling with the devouring element. The flames communicated with a house oceupied by Mr. Angus Gallant, at the east, and with a stable, owned by Mr. Michael MeQuaid,atthesouth. They alsocommunicated with the interior of the Union House, and it was only by the remarkable exertions of the fire companies that the house was saved, For an hour, the firemen used all their endeavors to prevent the spread of the flames, and at times the owners of houses in the vicinity despaired of the safety of their property. How- ever, the stern devotion of the firemen to duty triumphed. After the first hour’s spouting the fire was controlled and kept almost within the limits of the stable in which it originated. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon our Fire Brigade for their noble efforts to ex- tinguish a fire which threatened the destruc- tion of an immense amount of property. The ‘‘Silsbyy was the first engine to throw water; the ‘‘ Hook and Ladder” Company next got to work with a good effect; the ‘“Tremont” soon afterwards played on the burning building, while the ‘‘Rollo,” as usual, rendered capital service. ‘The property consumed is a two-story flat-roofed stable about 24 by 30 feet. The interior of the ‘‘Union House” is damaged largely by water from the engines and the ways made for the firemen to work, The dwelling house of Mr. Gallant is partially de- stroyed; also a stable and workshop belonging to Mr. MeQuaid. with the exception of Mr, Gallant’s, is in-

The property destroyed,

sured, The Poll Tax.

THe éferald says :—‘‘ Few of our readers will believe, perhaps, that the Davies faction is relying for much of its suecess in the Do- minion elections on the number of young men and working men who will be deprived of their vote through not paying their poll tax. Davies and Stewart know that the artizans and laborers of this Island owe it to them and their Government that they are now out of employment, that in one of the greatest public works ever undertaken on this Island they were thrust aside to make way for foreign workmen, that strange con- tractors in more than one sense were fer- retted out to please the craving tastes of the Superiatendent of Public Works, and a work which has to be paid for out ef the taxes was bartered away, and the very men who are expected to pay for it deprived of the privilege of earning a day’s wages by work- ing at their own building. Davies knows well that this is borne in mind, and he thinks that by biding his time he may bid defiance to the working classes, as they will likely forget to pay their poll tax, and so disfranchise themselves. There is only one remedy for this well laid project of the Pre- mier, and that is for every one to pay his poll tax promptly, and then he will be ready for the day of retribution when it comes.

Dominion Day.

A correspondent of the Montreal Gazette calls attention to the subject of making Do- minion Day a legal holiday, in order that the officers of the banks and others might join in the celebrations and recreations of that day. The first of July this year falls upon a Monday, and it happens that the Saturday preceding, the 29th June, is by law a statutory holiday, being the festival of St. Peter and St. Paul. If the necessary proclamation was issued, there would then be three days, during which the officers of the banks especially would enjoy an outing. Last year there was some discussion on this subject, owing to the Lieutenant Governor having issued a proclamation, inviting the people ‘‘to observe and celebrate duly the said anniversary the second day of July next.” This proclamation did not make this day a legal holiday. It simply invited people to celebrate the day on Monday, as the Ist of July fell upon a Sunday. It is in the power of the Lieu- tenant-Governor to make the day a legal holiday. The Bank Act, after declaring what days are holidays, adds: ‘‘And in any ‘fone of the Provinces of the Dominion, *‘any day appointed by proclamation of the ** Lieutenant-Governor of such Province for ‘fa public holiday or for a fast or thanks- ‘giving within the same.” We observe that His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor has issued a proclamation, making Monday next (Dominion Day) a holiday.

Souris, not at all of a very dignified charac- ter ; indeed if half what we have read about it be true, it is an event to be forgotten rather than remembered.

We regret to hear this, ‘as it casts a slur upon our public men, and |

We are informed that polling booths are being hired for use not later than the last of July. Whether this indicates the com- ing of the local or general elections, of course we are not able to indicate ; but as the local and general elections will probably be held at the same time, we suppose that the event is significant of an early struggle. Our friends must take warning and organize finally for the effort that 1s required of them, —H-v. Herald,

A Seasonable Word.

By the time we go to press the people of this locality can procure from their book- seller a copy of the first number of the new national magazine, which being the com- bined strength of T'he Canadian Monthly and Belford’s Magazine, proves the old adage “in union there is strength,” undoubtedly a true maxim in this case. .

The mechanical appearance far excels any previous effort in Canada. Every par- ticular in connection with the journal de- notes care, experience and remarkable good taste. ‘To particularize the various happy points which combine in making this _peri- odical not only the neatest and most un- provincial looking magazine in Canada, or that has ever been attempted here, is not our intention to give in this notice. We can, however, say that it is a monthly we may proudly boast of and compare with our near neighbor’s and our old country parent's more experienced productions of the same class.

We honestly, earnestly and heartily ree- ommend our readers to obtaih a copy ot the first issue of the Rose Belford’s Canadian Monthly.

Our patrons will be pleased with us to learn that the new venture will not be de- voted, in any sense, to any sect or party; but will be broad, liberal and fearless mm everything, at all times zealously devoting itself to Canada and Canadians, its history and their literatbre.

We shall be pleased to give in our next issue a critical resume of the Monthly's con- tents. And now, we can only again ask all those who have the interest at heart to spread knowledge and establish a literature of their own, as every country of any im- portance since the earliest historical record shows have done, to support this great en- terprise

Correspondence.

aw” Wedonot hold ourselves responsible for the statements or opinions of our correspondents,

To the Editor of the Examiner:

Sir, —Permit me, through your very valu- able journal, to address a word or two to my fellow tradesmen of Charlottetown, and you will greatly oblige, as you are always ready to do.

To THE TRADESMEY OF CHARLOTTETOWN.

GENTLEMEN,—(I believe gentlemen is the title you receive from candidates aspiring to Legislative honors) :—

In addressing a few words to you this morn- ing, I do it with the very best of motives. I do it on the same principle as the Scriptures teach—‘‘ Man know thyself.” Many a man who is master of a trade feels that he is de- graded in the sight of those who wear long- tailed blue, and fare sumptuously every day. But, fellow tradesmen, this is a mistake. The man who will treat you so, and look upon you with disdain, is a man who is as empty in the head as an idiot. One of the greatest men of the United States said, ‘‘ He that hath a trade hath an estate.” And I verily believe that to have a trade, and have it properly, is an es- tate. all have some trade? Simply, that should fickle fortune fail, the trade wiil come to the person’s relief, and save him from being a bur- den on society, as is often the case with those who have lost the little fortune that they may have had, and had no other means of support. I write the above merely to show you that al- though you are tradesmen, not to think you are unfit to take your place alongside of other men. You know, fellow tradesmen, that in Charlottetown your rights have been trampled on—(I speak now more directly to house-join- ers). In what have you gotavoice? Is it the City Council? Is it among the valuators of property in Charlottetown? Whodo you sup- pose a person would employ if he wanted his houses valued? Would it be a merchant? Have you got any voice in the Legislature ? Not any. Have you not seen your rights trampled under foot by plotting and scheming men, who disdain to notice you? Have you not seen contractors coming from abroad and taking your birthright from you? Is it not the case now? Has there been noth- ing about this new Asylum that makes you feel that a huge deception has been practiced upon you? Why was the contract let in such a manner as it was let? Why did the Com- missioner of Public Works race after the con- tractor and compel him to take it? Was it because he could not trust Mr. Corbet, or Messrs. Lewis & Phillips to give him his share, or was 1t to save money? If it was the latter, is he doing it? Investigation answers the question. But you tamely submit to it all,and allow this man Stewart and his helps to ride rough-shod over your back. They can specify and contract for one kind of material, and use another, and there is noone to say ‘* What doest thou.” You tamely submit to have Hon. G. W. DeBlois to go out to the Asylum, and

say ‘‘the work is all mght.” How has this gentleman become so blind? Surely $1,600a 1s n ot much to a gentleman’s income! Have you not seen Mr. DeBlois, from being a popu- Jar man, hastening, as fast as man ever did, into unpopularity ? Is it any wonder, when he seems to drift, of his own accord, to that doom that awaits him and _ his colleagues, whenever there is a chance for the people to come out in their might, and hurl such men back into obscurity, ‘never more to be found at all.”

Fellow tra lesmen, let us havea meeting,and let our representatives know that we mean usiness, and that wecan see, feel, know, udge and act.

— CONTRADICTION,

To the Editor of the Examiner:

Srr,—In looking over the local items of yes- terday’s Hxaminer | find an item relating to a return match purporting to have been fired between myself and Mr. James Dover, on Kensington Range, Monday, the 24th. Now, sir, such is not the case. The match that I took part in was made between a private gen- tleman and Mr. Dover ; and I consider that a challenge for a return match should emanate from Mr. Dover, as he was the beaten party, in the first instance ; but, in this case, it was

him, so that if Mr. Dover wishes a return match he will have to issue a new challenge.
