The New Hebrides.

THEIR OCCUPATION EFFECT ON THE PRESBYTERIAN MISSIONS —-INTERVIEW WITH REV. MR.

At the synod of the Maritime Provinces,

had been addressing the Presbyterian con- rregations on this island, on the subject of ioreign missions, gave & most imteresting ad- dress on theNew Hebrides. He spoke of the ecupation of the Islands by the French

Great Britain as well as here, and on the Islands themselves. as to the fuiure of the missions there. It was so interesting to the whole synod, that THe Exa™Iner reporter called upon Mr. Annand and asked him if he would oblige the readers of !'ne ExaMINer with some iniormation on the subject. Mr. A. was very obliging and readily consented to give us any informa- tion in his power.

He said that the latest news from the Islands by mail was as far back as June 8th. Since then the only news was by tele- grams, which had alregdy appeared in the paper. The letter Tie received was from the captain of the Dayspring, and that part of it relating to French occupation was as follows :—

Havannau Harporr, Erara, June 8, 1886. Dear Srr,—We arrived in the harbour Saturday, 5th inst., from the North, and found that on June Ist a military station had been formed here by tha orders of the Gover-

nor of New Caledonia. On Sunday morning, the 6th, the two-decked French transport ship Devas arrived at

Havaunah harbor, which the French have now named Port Havannah; and at 9 a. m. we witnessed from the deck of the Dayspring, the landing of French troops, with equipments, stores, cattle, sheep, etc. At 2 p. m. the same day a smal] French steamer also arrived from Noumea with settlers and building material for the isiand. One hundred and twenty svuldiers are now stationed here, and 120 at Port Sandwich, on the Island of Mallicolla. The French have now taken possession, and as that is nine points of the law, we may guess what to expect next.”

Is this the nrst time the French have taken possession? Well, I may say that for the last fifteen years they have talked of it, and we have been living in continuous dread ; but it has come at last, and from latest telegrams they have not only taken possession of these places mentioned in the letter, but also of the island of Fila, where we were first settled. This is a little island in the southwest Lay of t f.ta; and more than that it would seem that they intend torule in the whole group, for the fact that they found fault with the Germans for avenging the death of two German subjects, would indicate that they claim jurisdiction over the group, as that affair occured in the north end, 100 miles trom their nearest military station.

Have you seen it stated in the French papers that it is necessary to have troops there tor the protection of their interests? Yes ; but that 1s all nonsense, for on the Island of Efata, European life has been‘perfectly safe for the last fifteen years. They want to annex the group, that is the whole matter, and their determination may be seen when | tell you that what you now hear of occupation is actually the taking of three principal har- bors in the group.”

‘* What, in your opinion, may be given as the reason why the French seek possession of the New Hebrides group ?”

‘** Well, I suppose every nation at present seems anxious to get hold of new territory tor colonization. The lrench have already New Caledonia and the Loyalty Islands. These lie 200 miles from the New Hebrides, and be- tween them and the continent of Australa. They are a penal settlement, avd the French

A PLAIN, STRAIGHTFORWARD SPEECH BY THE VETCRAN PREMIER.

At a meeting of the workingmen of Ottawa held on Friday Jast Sir John spoke of Mr. Mowat’s record respecting Ottawa, and then passed to the record of the liberal conservative party, contrasting it with the grit record. During 1873-1878 the grits had a clean sheet. They had net been in power tor years and had no sins te answer for, yet at the close of their regime de- pression*was regnant, people were out of employment, merchants were doing littie business, and failures were numerous. The grits said they could do nothing. ‘The liberal conservatives said they could co something. They prepared their plans. They asked the government of the day to adopt the plan. They refused and derided The people rose in their might and banished the grits from office, Hight years of the present tarifi had produced # totally different condition. Look at the Colonial Exhibition and see the progress Canada has made! Her exhibits have sur- prised every one. The people of England and of Europe’ had no idea that Canada had made such pro- yress in manufactures. He showed that the importation of articles of food and drink during the Grit regime was close upon $52, - 000,000 a year, but during the Liberal Con- servative regime the import was only §$17,- 090,000 a year. Under the present fiscal policy we have supplied ourselves with articles of food and drmk to such an extent that the counis) has imported less of these articles by $34,000,000 a year. Taking the farmers and the farm laborers at 700,000, this would mean that the present policy had on the average put 250 a year into the pockets of every one engaged in pastoral and agricultural pursuits— money that would otherwise have gone to outsiders! He also pointed out that the import of raw material for manufacturing purposes during the Grit period averaged $9,000,000 a year, while under the present tariff the import was nearly $18,000,000 a year. Every year $18,000,000 worth of raw imaterial is worked up under the present tariff, against $9,000,000 each year under the Grit tariff, Nearly two artisans are employed

now in such work ajainst ~ but one man given employment under the grit tariff. Sir John then showed

the action of the conservative government in preventing George Brown tyrannizing over the workingmen. For that act le had received an address from the workingmen and among those who made an elogium on him (Sir John) on that occasion was Mr. O’Donohue, who was now engaged in endeavoring to show the workingmen that he (Sir John) had always been hostile to him. He pointed out that the liberal cou servative party had grappled with the sub- ject of prison labor aud had carried out the plan of having no competition of convict labor with honest labor. McKenzie jwo-

wish to enlarge, because the islands they have are almost barren and useless. On the other hand, the New Hebrides are more fertile, and, as far as settlers are conccrued, better fitted to live in,”

‘‘ What do the people of Australia think of French possession ?”

‘They have always been opposed to the in- crease of foreign power out there. At the same time they can never be a menace, except as a basis of operations in time of war ; for, from the very nature of the island, it js not possible to provide for a large Kuropean popu- lation. No minerals have been discovered of any account, except sulphur and some iron ore, and these not to any great extenty and I hardly know what could be started to provide a livelihood for anything like a large Euro- pean population.”

‘In what way will the occupation effect the Mission

“It will affect them in every way. It will introduce a population hostile to missions.

All sent out there are criminals, men and women of the lowest class, and, judging from the experience of the mission in the Leyatty Islands, we anticipate only evil results. On the Loyalty Islands they have, in a large measure, restricted all work. They favor, of course, Catholic missions, to the disadvantage of Protestant, by encouraging the one and strenously opposing the other. They also in- terfere with native schools, by ordering that unless the French language be taught two hours a day in all schools, all schools must be closed. Now, two hours a day isas much as any of our missionaries can teach and attend to his other duties, and they know it; hence ‘t virtually means the closing of the schools. And they further order that any missionary disobeying shall stop all work among the natives, This was the case with Mr. Jones on Mare, although a resident on the Island for 25 years. And even granting that mission- aries could overtake work under these restric- tions, they have issued a further order that noextention of the work can be tolerated.

posed to employ convict labor in buuding raiiway#. The liberal conservative policy is now to prevent conviet labor coming into

mpetition with free iabor. Another policy of the present government is to pre- vent the products of convict labor in other countries coming into competition

with honest labor. In Chinese la bor the Mackenzie ‘Gevernment re- fused to legislate against the Chinese coming freely into Canada, The present

government in 1879 showed their deter- mination to protect Canadian labor by put- ting a tax of fifty dollars on every Chinese immigrant. Another point in which ihe libeval conservative party differed from the grits was in the interest paid the laboring classes for their savings deposited with the government. The present goverament pay four per cent. for savings of the working classes. The grits insisted that three per cent was enough. As to the future the government would carry out the same prin- ciples as in the past. We propose asking to establish a bureau of labor statistics, We purpose appointing a commissiou to investigate the whole subject. The scope of the commission would be to enquire and report on the subject of labor and the earnings of laboring men and women and the means of promoting their ma- terial, social, intellectual and moral pros- perity, and of improving and developing the productive industries of the Dominion, s0 as to advance and improve the trade and
