VOLUTION OF A STATESMAN.

vm

AN interesting letter was recent!y pub- York

worthy of reproduction.

lished in the New Sun, which is

This letter is from Montreal, and reads as follows :—

“A Canadian friend who is taking an active part in the movement for the inde- pendence of Canada has just shown me a pamphlet containing a full and authentic report of the preceedings and speeches ata barquet given to Sir Wilfrid, then only plain Mr. Laurier,at Boston a few vears azo when he was On a tour ip the Siates seek- ing support for an annexation movement in Canada. The title of the pampdlet is “Souvenir du Banquet Laurier, par R. C. de Beaumeontavec Je Concours de M. Armend Lalonde.’ From page 53 I trans- late the following extract, which I think even Sir Wilfrid Laurier would bave some lifficulty io satisfactorily excusing or explaining away when it is read in the light of utterances of the Jast two months. At Beston he said :—

**Thereare peop ein my country who say that Imperial Federation, that is to say, a federation between Erglan | and her colon- tes, would be the better alternative for Canada. So faras the Monroe doctrine is applicable to Canada, 1 am in favour of the Mource doctrine. 1 do wot want the intervention of Europe in our affairs, and it would be snicide on the part of Canada toentangle iteelf in ao federation that would force itto take part in all the wars which Great britain, in conse- querce of her posiiiov, is constantly obliged to carry on in the different parts of the world. That consideration alone suffices to turn the people of Canada from any such idea. They te)l us again that we should establish a league between England and her possessions, ip virtue of which we would carry on commerce awong ourselves, the British Empire, to the exclusion of the rest of the world. I have only this to say of this idea, that it is absolutely absurd. I prefer the Yankee dollar to the British shilling, particularly when the dollar is so mear and the shilling so far of.

“Tn the light of recent events the latter part of thie quotation has a peculiar signi- ficance, and it would be exceedingly inter. esting to know what arguments the British “sovereign’ and Mr. Joseph Chamberlain employed that so quickly changed plain Mr. Laurier, with his admiration for the “Yankee dollar,’ into Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and an acceptor of the once despised and far away ‘British shilling. All this quick- ehange performunce is a puzzle to a good imany people over here, and there is anx- iety as well as curiosity to know what it is all leading to.”

The plain Mr. Laurier who a few years ago preferred the Yankee dollar to the British shilling; the Mr. Laurier who expressed himself as unfavorable to Im- peria] Federation because it would force Can- ada to aid the Mother Country in her hour of need, is the seme gentlemau whoa few weeks ago gaveer pression to his unbounded admiration of and love for everything British and actuaily accepted the honor of knighthood at the hands of England’s Queen!

NOTES AND COMMENTS

—It may be interesting to know that the average price realized by English far- mers for their wheat in the week ending September 4th, was $1.02} per bushel of 66 Ib., and for their oats 51} cents per bushel of 34lbs.

—According to the latest ‘Agricultural Returns,” the number of cattle kept in Great Britain is 6,500,497, as against 6,492,582 kept last year, an increase of 0.1 per cent. The number of sheep is 26,340- 440, as against 26,705,529 kept last year a decrease of 1.4 percent. This decrease ¢3 almost wholly in lambs, owing to an unfavorable lambing season. Breeding ewes, however, has inereased by 81,110. The number of hogs kept is 2,242,302, as against 2,878,801 last year, a decrease of 18.6 percent.

—It may be looked upon as rather sig- nificant that those who are nearest the

Premier are seeking sbelter. Mr. Lave rgne, his former law partner, bas resigned his seat in Parliament fora judgeship. Sir Oliver Mowat, who entered the cabinet estensibly for the purpose of working a reform in the Senate, is to take a goyernor- ship without having attempted to do any- thing. The Liberal who expects his party <o swim against the tide of a general elec- tion, does not realize-how strong is the eandercurrent.

—The Liquor Regulation Act is now in

orce in Charlottetown. Early in the

k the Marshal sent out-officers to see

that the places in which «xposed for sale were fitted upin accordance with the law, and as no prosecutions have since been entered the presumption is that the law is being complied with. The law also provides that intox'cants shall not* be sold after certain hours in the evening nor ou Sundays. A many places for the sale of liquors have been operel up in Charlottetows, and the police should be ov the alert to see that the law in respect to the time of selling is also being observed.

—The Canada Temperance Act cane into operation in Charlottetown on the 28th July, 1894. Between that date and ‘the Act was revoked by Order-in-

eleven years that the Act was previously in foree the number of convictions 356. But it must be remembered that the magistrate of that day labored under great ditticulties; that the Act was buffeted about by the lawyers and appeals and certioraris were very common. Of late years there have been comparatively few appeals, how- ever, aud the magistra‘e’s lot bas con- sequently been amuch easier one in respect to enforcing the Act.

STATES MAY BUY GREENLAND.

Lonpon, Sept. 30.—The Evening News gives prominence to arumor that the Un- ited States has made overtures to Denmark for the acquisition of Greenland, and says: “Under ordinary circumstances, even if true, the report would excite little interest, but coupled with the news of the hoisting of the Union Jack over Beflia’s Land, it becomes of great moment. It appears that Baffia’s Land was never formally acquired by the English, al- though it has been regarded as English for half a century. Hudson’s is des- tined to become part of a great grain carrying route to Liverpool and Winuipey, which will be a powerful rival of the American land routes. The Americans have uo port of callon the eastern shores of the conticent north of Maine,but if they are to participate in the advantages of the Hudson Bay route, it has been apparenily urged that their government must secure some island or peninsula without delay.” The Evening News adds to this comment an interview with an unnamed Canadi:u official fo the effect that the hoisting of the Union Jack over Baftin’s was undoubtedly evoked by the report «hat the United States government had its eye on it@ According to the Canadian official, the:e is nothing to prevent the Uuited Stans purchasing Greenland.

About ladies jackets—We don’t say that our $5.00 jackets are worth $6.00, nor do we say our $6.00 jackets are worth $7.50; but we do say, that there is no better jacket sold for $5 00 than the one we offer at that price. This applies to all prices with the certainty, that for quality style, fit, inish and workmanship, our garments are not excelled in Charlottetown.— Stanley Bros, The Always Busy Store.
