Mr. Farquharson’s Bed Quilts

As a rather apt illustration of the prin- ciples of certain ‘‘Free Traders’’ THe EXAMINER

The moral

drawn was that the

legend have since been removed to another place, and that Mr. Farquharson has a letter in the Patriot of last evening in which he explains that the things displayed in his window were “‘only bed quilts”! Fancy the ‘‘stars and stripes” marked all over in capital letters with the motte, ‘‘Prorgc- FION TO AMERICAN MANUFACTURES,” as the bed quilt of a loyal Canadian Free Trader ! Any Canadian Free Trader who can lie under such a thing—after the passage of the McKinley Bill by Messrs. Hitt, Butter- worth, Sherman, and their confreres in the Congress of the United States—must be sleepy indeed! Any Canadian Free Trader who can continue in the political party which depends upon Messrs. Hitt, Butter- worth, Sherman, and the rest of the legis- lators who passed the McKinley Bill, for the accomplishment of its policy of Unre- stricted Reciprocity must be a rara avis. The Opposition party of Canada has been badly sold by its friends in Congress. It may be that the cause of the removal of

Mr. Farquharson’s bed quilts lies in this fact.

THE DAILY EXAMINER,

What Sir John Says. Tue following is a short summary of one of the racy speeches delivered by Sir Johh Macdonald while in the Maritime Pro-

viuces; ‘* His feelings for humanity and the common duty he owed to his fellow citizens demanded that he should relieve

the Grits of the great anxiety they felt about the elections. The audience had probably noticed from the how frightened they were about the probability of a dissolution. A year ago they were clamoring for an appeal tu the people, but how different to-day. Now, a dissolution wou'd be most unconstitutional and the

p®pers

Governor-General was warned not to take Sir John's advice to dissolve. Sir John said he would relieve their anxiety to the

extent saying that he was not gotng to dissolve. (Laughter.) He was perfectly satisfied with his majority and was so fully enjoying the weakness of his opponents

(laughter and applause)--that he was willing to let the present Parliament run its course, fully satisfied that the decisions

aft

of 1878 and 1882 would not be altered in 1891 or 1892. He was almost afraid to say 1892, lest the Opposition should give

up in hopeless despair. (Great laughter.) Though he was trying to steer the ship of state as straight as he could, the Opposition were very useful in warning him from going

wrong. (Renewed laughter.) During the quarter of a century he had been in office his success was largely due to the hearty

opposition that had been given him. The chieftain proceeded in his happiest vein to compare the condition of Canada in 1867 with to-day. Then the colonies were without credit and without prestige, and without any consideration among the peoples of the earth. Since con- federation, Canada has gone forward by leaps and | and new our credit was

bounds, almost equal te that of the mother country.

He admitted the increase of debt, but urged th it it was eresy ih ev ideuce of improve- | ment, progress and enterprise He had |

been charged railways all over Canada,

0

develop the country by railways was an evidence of corruption, he was afraid he would have to icknow!edge the corn. (Laughter ) He was not afraid of the future of Canada, and was not afraid to borrow at 3} per cent. moneys the expendi- ture of which would yield the country 20 percent. Sir John huworously described how Johu Sandtield Macdonald had been beaten by his own money, by the surplus he had hoarded up. He(Sir John would

take good care that there was nu large purse left with which the Qpposition could bribe the country. (Great laughter and applause. ) Referring to trade relations with the United States, Sir John related the history of his efforts to obtain reciprocity, aud de- clared that he had gone as far as any self-respecting man or goverament could gu to obtain fair trade arrangements, but it was no use said the chieftain. The United States declined any negotiations for any kind of reciprocity. The fact is, he said, the United States covet Canada. They desire to have it—they will have ic now that they see our progress, now that the country from ocean to ocean is spanned by

the C. P. R., and we are walking into the trade of China and Japan. No wonder they covet us. The Americans

were warned by enemies in our own camp not to grant us any privileges, and by so doing they would starve us into annexation; that Canadians were sordid that if the Americans would only hold out for a few years longer we would se!l out our flag, our allegiance and our sovereign. (Cries of ‘*Never, never.”’) Meantime these traitors

st)

suggested that the Yankees might send them a little money ‘o help along their

schemes. (Laughter.) He had no fear whatever that Canadians were so mean, 60 sordid, so traitorous, so unworthy of their ancestors and their country as to sell their heritage for a mess of pottage, or even for a pot of gold. We prize the flag and the spirit of the laws of England—that spirit which protects the rights of the minority. What have we to gain by joining the United States? asked Sir John. It is a great country, but it will have its vicissitudes and revolutions. Look at the mass of foreign ignorance and vice which has flooded the country with socialism, atheism and all other isms. Wecan sit calmly and quietly uuder the flag of Great Britain and look philosophically upon the struggles of a fierce democracy. A great deal of pains had been taken to explain that the McKinley bill was merely a comestic measure. Be it so, They have taken their course, we will take ours. (Cheers) The United States say: If you want to trade with us you can doit in one or two ways, either annex yourself tous or separate from Great Britain and set up as an independent republic. As to annexation, there is not aman here in favor of it, emphasized Sir John. As to independence, how long could we stand as an independent republic? How long did Texas stand as the Lone Star republic? Canada and the United States, as the lion and the lamb, might lie down together, but the lamb would be inside the lion. If Canadians are true to themselves and their posterity they will remain as they are, and the future will demonstrate the wisdom ot that course. Look at what England is doing for usto day. Eng- land has no special interest in the fate of the seals, yet Lord Salisbury’s magnificent Gov- ernment is insisting on maintaining and en- forcing Canadian rights to the seal fisheries. What could Canada do inthe Behring Sea controversy without England at our back ? asked Sir John.”

Monday Night’s Gale.

During the heavy gale the schr. Jessie News had her foresail carried ay ay

_ of Summerside, She was out side harbor early next morning. D, Mont- gomery is the owner.

During Monday night the sehr. Silver Dart, of Tangier, which sail d trom George- town for Halifax with produce that day, and the schr. Emerald, Captain ‘Thomas Burke, of and bound for Georgetown with coal from Pictou were strsaded on Cape

Bear. Abt latest accounts it was thought that both schooners would be total wrecks The sehr. Florence ©, Captain Me-

Leod, from Halifax for St. Peters, is ashore

tion,

The schr. Congo, in ballast, is ashore at Baytield Harbor, North Syduey.

The schr. Thistle, of Quebec, was struck by Monday night’s gale when five miles east of Sydney Light, and had her bow. sprit, boom, cutwater, two jibs, stem stay- sail and all her head-gear carried away. The storm of Monday afternoon and night was also very severe at Shediac. The wind blew in from the straits, and no small craft could live in the sea. The shore is strewn with small boats lifted high and dry by the waves. Weldon’s bathing wharf is washed away. A barque at the poi grounded her stern on the wharf so severely that report says that the vessel is con- demned. Other reports say that a vessel was seen in the afternoon running ashore in the direction of Shemogue, but no par- ticulars «1+ at hand. The Island steamer hada 1 ugh passage over, and some 50 barre's: {| oysters were tossed around, seri- ously injuring a horse which was on board. It is feared that when ail reports are in, there may be a worse story to tell. At Shediac the sea reached a field on Deputy Sheriff Sweeney's farm, a point not reached i) previous storms for years.

The harvest, which is below the average in this part of the country, is all gathered in, and threshing has commenced. Owing to the recent sultry weather, and almost incessant rain, nearly all the grain stacked in the open air is considerably damaged by heat,

The female members of our community are getting fewer by degrees, and grievous- ly less. The inducements held out by Massachusetts and Connecticut, especially the latter, has left ourfair seetlement al- most destitute of young women.

Some miscreants recently paid a noctur- nal visit to Mr. Wim. Beers’ carrot patch, leaving the same minus of about half a cart- load. It is to be hoped that the offenders will be speedily brought to justice, for if the culprits escape punishment they may persevere in their evil course until brought up behind the prison bars.

Our enterprising and worthy friend, Mr. Murdock McLean, has started a general store at Kingston Corner. As he is favor- ably regarded he will probably do a good business.

The senior department of ourschool is still taught by Mr. . John McDougall, who has held his position for upwards of six years. oe

PQ ———————— —Mr, Donald Farquharson says :

‘* Tf we want to make our people continue loyal, make them happy; give them liberty to sell where they choose and buy where they choose. ”

Mr. Farquharson had better go the States and teach this doctrine there. It is the States which refuses to give us _ liberty to sell and buy where we choose.

—The Presbyterian Witness commenting upon the McKinley Bill says :

‘* Upon the whole it will weigh heavily upon some of our provinces, especially on P. E. Is- land, whose chief exports are oats, potatoes and eggs. The Island will have the earnest sympathy and co-operation of the Dominion— to the extent, we are very hopeful, of a sub- way between the capes.”
