A Selfish Policy.

[vr is well that we should—-now that the chief organ of the Opposition, the Toronto Globe. is maintaining that the United States is ready to grant the boon of Free Trade to Canada for the asking—understand the motives which influence the Administration

the

of the United States to oppose McKinley Bill. These are made very clear by a pablished letter from Mr. Secretary Biaine to Senator Frye. Mr. Blaine points | ut that Spain imposes a heavy duty upon flour, and thus holds the markets of Cubs and Port Rico for herse a to the totsl ex- clusion of flour from the United States Ocher articles, he says, are tsxed by Spain t e point of prohibition. And he thinks that it “‘would be a very extraordinary policy on the part of the government of the United States just at this time to open their

market witheut charge or duty to the enor- mous crops of sugar raised in the two Span- i Islands.”

He maintains that Cuba and Porto Rico furnish the United States with nearly or

one half the sugar which they con-

sume. To give a free market to this im- mense product of the Spanish plantations at the moment Spain is excluding the pro- would be, Mr. unprecedented as it would be unwise.

Mr. Biaine

Blaine contends, a policy as

roes on to demonstrate that

the traaqe or tne

ay . South American Republics is not in a satis-

i ry condition. He says: ‘7 reregate balance of trade with all in agure yas OaAiIa e OL i Vil hi Latin-America is. heavily against us. A gie iliustration with sufiice Since we re- pealed e duty en coffee in 1872 we have im- ported the products of Brazil to the extent of

You can lily see how different the result would been if in return for the free admission lian cotfee in our markets we had ex ted the free admission of certain produc 8 of the United States in the Brazilian market vat this error with sugar (to au amouct i £ re ! three ti s large as with coffee) will «lose | il opportunity to establish reciprocity of trade

with Latin-America.

Here is an opportunity where the farmer may be benefitted—primarily, uadeniably, richly benefitted. Here is an opportunity fora Re- puvlican Congress to open the markets of forty iiltione of people to the products of American rms. Shall we seize the opportunity, or tii 1 t it way ? {I do aot doubt that in many respects the tariff bill pending in the Ss st measure, and that most of its provisions are in accordance with the wise policy protection, But there is not a sec- tion or a liae in the entire bill that will open market for another bushe! of wheat or an- oth arrel of pork. If sugsr is now placed |

on the free list without ex«cting important trad i

ssions in return, we shall close the reciprocity against our-

once

selves. Mr. Blaine remarks, in conclusion, that of the United States

the foreign market

for breadstuffs grows narrower,

Great Britain is obtaining bread supplies from India, while Russia is a powerful competitor. To obtain control of the

trade of America should, therefore, he argues, be the object of Congress ; aud he thinks that with nearly $100,000,000 worth of sucar seeking the markets of the United States every year, they will prove very un- if they do not secure a

large field for the sale and consumption of

kiliful legislators

No fault is found with the im- PvSitTlOns which are, by it, he sped upon the commerce of Canada Not because the Government of the United States desires free with Canada, but because it is opposed to free trade with the sugar-produc- ing colonies of Spain, is the McKinley Bull doomed. ‘

—The Montreal Gazette remarks that had H. M. Stanley been one of England’s nobility, his marriage could not have been marked by greater social eclat or excited more interest in the fashionable world. His career shows that forthe man who is true to himself and turns to the best ac- count the gifts with which nature has en- dowed him, there is no obstacle, in Eng- land, to advancement by any path of em-

inence for which he is adapted From a

station the most humole Mr. Stanley has risen with credit to himself and advantage to mankind to a position in which the proudest in the land are honored by his

acqusintance. The somewhat brusque re- serve that characterized his demeanor in England after his first great success may well disappear before a recognition so cor- dial of his qualities, abilities and services.

‘The Queen has been among the heartiest of his well wishers and in her gracious kindness to him and his gifted bride has faithfuliy represented the people of Eng-

land and of the Empire in doing honor to the man who has toiled and endured and incurred many a haszerd in the cause oi

civilization and

Notes and Comments.

Tenders are again called for the erec- tion of a fence around Queen Square. = It

is hoped that there will be no more ** hitches’ about the matter. European protests against the Me-

Bui are derided in the United Bat, as the Empire remarks, Ger- man restrictive regulations regarding pork and British cattle quarantine rules are de- nounced freely as the oppression of effete monarchies.

Kinley States.

—The movement towards civic reform has not yet begun. Meanwhile the city is | disgracefully dirty and its fountain is dried up—while the time for another civic elec- tionis approaching. Citizens are quick to speak when there is anything to grumble about ; but they are slow to act.

Much pity is felt for the European asians oppressed with militarism. The

cost of the German army for the present | vear is estimated at $91,726,293. That is, | indeed, a heavy burden. But the United States pay $109,357,534 this year for pensions, and $30,000,000 besides for the iarmy !

— Mr. Mercier’s majority in the new house will be twenty-three. This, as the Montreal Gazette observes, is not so much |as the Nationalists anticipated, but it is enough to give Mr. Mercier more than a yood working majority, and will enable him to carry out his policy of enterprise snd expenditure with a free hand. It will ‘not, however, keep back the day of reckon-

io ug. vies

— The Patriot quotes with approval the Toronto Globe's article on ‘‘the Better Yerms,” but does not contradict the Globe's statement that the people of the smaller Provinces are ** too poor to support them- selves.’ We have no doubt that the Globe obtained this curious idea from Mr. L. H. Davies (our representative) who said in Parlizment that people on P. E. Island were supported by their relatives in the

States.

—QOne of the most extraordinary events ever witnessed in Canada, or even in the whole world, has just taken place at Notre Dame de Bonsecours, Richelieu Co., Que. Mr. and Mrs. William Asbury, aged 88 and | 86 years, have had the pleasure of celebrat- | ing the 68ch anniversary of their marriage,

which was solemnized on the 22nd June, | 1822. The herees of the fete count to-day 16 children, 112 grand children, 118 great | grand children and 4 children of the fourth | generation. Although at one time English, these people adopted years ago the customs of the French-Canadian people, and to-day | the French language is the family tongue.

| | —Jn 1837 Canada had 16 miles of rail and in 1850 there were 7l miles, which in- | creased to over 2,000 miles in 1860, but in 1870 only 500 miles more were added. But now in 1890 there are fourteen thousand | miles of splendid lines, well equipped, well {managed and busy. Last year they carried | 12,000,000 passengers and 18,000,000 tons lof freight. The gross earning were $42,- 000,000, and working expenses $31,000,- 1000. The total cost of all the lines was $760,000,000 ; but a portion of this was }given by the Dominion, provincial and municipal governments. The share capits! and bonded debt of «ll lines amounted to | $534,000,000, so that $11,000,000 of net | earnings paid an average of 2 per cent. i

— Referring to the Globe's article quoted by Tue Examiner and Patriot of yester- i day, the Empire says :—

** One of the Canadian journals which is sedulously attempting to prepare the way for conimercial and political annexation, declares that the people of the United States are ready

to ‘listen toa proposal for free trade’ if it is | adie by Canada. How utteriy absurd is this disingenuous pretence! By this free trade is meant that we are to come under the heavy war tariff of the United States and to ' have our trade restricted by discriminating } penalties if we attempt to import from any lother country than the big republic. Even commerce with ou: Mother Country and our

sister colonies is to be discouraged if the

Globe can succeed in establishing what it is to call free trade with its foreign

i pieas “cl patrons.”

Medical Men in Council.

| One of the most important meetings held this week was that of the medical men

|

which took place at Moncton on Tuesday and Wednesday. The delegates from the Island Asseciation were Dr. James Mac-

leod, of this city, and Dr. R. McNeil), of Stanley. Their mission was,in conjunction with the representatives of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, to form a maritimes medical association, the object of which will be to deal with questions cf inter- and wational import, such as an Medical laws of

provincial

issimilation of the the

Maritime Provinces, Medical Education, and Sanitation. The association was

formed at the close of Tuesday evening’s session, and the naines of the provisional ‘flicers have already appeared in THE EXAMINER One of the main objects of the Associa- tion will be to secure jegislation, federal or provincial, or both, upon the matter of pro- curing vital and mortuary statistics for the Dominion, and also providing for the en- forcemeut of the plain and well understood rules of health by some authority other than that of corporations elected by the people. The very great necessity there is for legislation in the matter of enforcing the health regulations is painfully evidenc- ed in Halifax at the present time, where, owing to the neglect of the corporation in ‘his very important matter, the people are suffering from an epidemic of diphtheria. The appointment of sanitary engineers and sanitary inspectors, the lat- ter to be under the control of some central authority, will also be applied for. The medical men claim that, from an economic

point of view alone, it will pay the State better to save the lives of such of its own people as are

now annually sacrificed to preventable dis- eases than to establish expensive immigra- tion agencies in foreiga countries, Aud here is a good deal in the claim, too.

Drs. McLeod and McNeill have returned icomthe Conveution. The different ses- sions were well attended, and the greatest interest was taken in the work in hand. By che time the next meeting is held it is hop- | ed the Association will have all its work perfected, and we trust that it will not be tong before Peince Edwerd Island shall have the improvements the Association are endeavoring to obtain, ‘as the great ne-} cessity for most of them has been apparent | |for many years past,

Promenade Concert.

THe wet and disagreeable weather of last evening did not deter a goodiy number of ladies and gentlemen from attending tho promenade concert given in the Hillsbor- ouch Rink in aid of city mission work, The attendance, however, was not by any means as Jarge as it should have been, or as the character of the entertainment deserved. The first part of the programme consisted of vocal and instrumental music, with a read- ing by Rev. Mr. Carruthers. Following is the programme :—

Piano Duet—Overture to Zampa....F. Herold Miss A. Fraser and J. H. Logan. Reading—(Selected).. 2.2.6.6... cee eeeeees ‘ Rev. James Carruthers.

Song—"* The Reign of the Roses”.......

Vocal Duet—** Moonlight on the Rhine”... Mrs. A. A. McLean and Mr, Frank Beer. This programme was carried out in an

excellent manner, Mrs. Robertson was given a well-deserved reception, and she sung in splendid form. Mrs. A. A. Me- Lean’s ** Waltz Song” was given in that jady’s usual good style, and her duet with Mr. Beer was capital, although the heavy patter of the rain on the roof spoiled its ef- fect somewhat. Mr. Beer’s solo was well sung, and Mr. Carruthers’ reading was given in an excellent manner, but it was just a trifle too long. Prof. Logan’s piano solo was skillfudy plaved and well recciv- ed, as was alsu the duet by that gentleman and Miss Annie Fraser. The second part of the programme consisted of a promenade to the excellent music of the Citizens’ Band, with such luxuries as strawberries and cream, ice cream. etc,

A Cyclone

KILLS A NUMBER OF PERSONS NEAR ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA.

A few minutes before five o'clock on Saturday afternoon clouds began to collect over the region of Lake McCarron, two or three miles north of St. Paul., Minn., soon taking on a rotary motion and the terrible appearance of acyclone. A young min drove in from Lake Coleman soon after- wards with the information that at least two persons were killed and ever 100 in- jured at that poiut. Other reports follow- ed quickly. To the north and east of St. Paul a great number of little lakes are sought by the multitude every Sunday. On Lake Gervais two cottages were wrecked, five people killed and ten injured. It is suid that the cyclone was confined to a dis- trict of three and a half miles long, and that the worst damage was within a limit oi half a mile.
