NO FEAR ABOUT PROTECTION.

ne

Tae Gvarpran declines to demonstrate that Protection in Canada has been done away by means of the preference on British goods, or to show that the Cane. dian tariff is not, in principle, as protec- tive as it ever was. Well, we have no desire to worry the “ independent ” organ about the matter. That there have been one or two thenges in the direction of free trade we readily admit. There was, for instance, the repeal of the binder twine duties, the result being chat the trade is ia the haads of United States factories and the Government,—the former charging big prices and the latter making the busi-« ness an occasion for jobbery. There is also the repeal of the corn duties, by which the price of cornmeal has been so reduced ,n Canada that large quantities are imports ed from the States, taking the place of oats as food for horsee, pigs and other stock in the Maritime Provinces, and so reducing the price Of oats that our farmers and dealers cannot get rid of oats ata profit, apd that some large dealers have, it is said, been conéirained to ask for Gov

eroment subsidy fur a steamer to take oats to Eogiand. There is, too, the kerosene ol *‘* arrangement ” under whieh the Standard Oil Company of the United States controls the Canadian market! The Goveroment’s little experience in the abeli- tion of Protection and the establishment of Free Trade, bas, iv truths been euch chat we have no fear whatever that addi- tiona! changes will be made in that direc- tiGBb.

As for the taxes, theenormous, unprece-

zovernment will, of course, necessitate a nign ecale of dutits upoo imported goods. [f the expenditures of the present govern- ; ment bad been as low es those of the Conservatives there might have been sweeping reductions of taxation because of the boom in trade resulting from worlds wide activity and the ware, But there can be no material charge undcr existing conditions. Protection is all right bes cause the government dare not introduce free trade; and taxes must be high because the government is extravagant, far and away beyond all its predcescors, —_——___ ey

NOTES AND COMMENTS. |

—The present population of Canada is

estimated by the Dominion statistician “

be 5,378,800.

—By the way, why has the Guardian so | suddenly dropped the agitation of the Doherty -Haley-Campbell deal ? We hope that party considerations haye not again stayed the Guardian’s hand,

—The violence of Liberal newspapers in their attacks upon the Senate is not the least notable of the signe of the times. The Montreal Gazette remarks that it makes it seem as if they expected the Senate was destined not to have a Liberal majority in time for it to be any use to the pushers who direct the Laurier Gov- ernment’s action®,”

—A good piece of work is being done on Dorchester Street—near the Cathedral— under the direction of ourold friend Mr. H. B. Smith, whom weare glad to eee agaip superiotendivg street construction in Charlottetown. Itis very pleasing to note improvement in various directions— par ticularly that which is substantial and likely to be permanent.

—Mr. John A. Harris, of the First Con- tingent, from this city, wounded in the arm at Paardeburg end now convalescing in Scotland, was lately the guest of Lord and Lady Aberdeen at Haddo House, and had the unique hvnor of having his bread buttered by the Countess—his wounded arm not admitting of the use of his own hand. He has also been a guest at Fyrre Castle.

—-Mr. Walter Simpson, Bay View, bas been appointed agent for the ** St, John Internations! Exhibition ” to work in the interest of the exhibition, on this Island, He has also heen appointed by Prof. James W. Roberteon to visit and confer with those schuol children who bave entered the seed grain competition, under the direction of the Professor, on the Island. The number in the competition from our schoo]s is 146.

—The Canadian boys are certainly not feather-tei soldiers. Asa sample of what they have to put up with, Colonel Otter mentions that on May 28. the Brigade fought the Boers all afternoon and then the disry states;—*The Brigade had to bivouac without water or food for the night, none being available; very cold. Started at 430 next morning, reached Florida at 109. m., got meat and gro- ceries, but no biscuits wereto be had, the whole supply of food and forage for the army being§very short.”

~The Montreal Star’s correspondent, Mr. W. Richmond Smitk, was one of the first of the Rooineks to enter Johannes-~ burg after the British had taken posses- sion. Respecting the city and the mines, he saye: “Johannesburg is in many respects a wonderful place. I was amazed at 't3 extent and the aclidity of many of i's buildings. It wore, howev:r, the appearance ofa deserted village, for nine*tenths of the big businees bouses were closed vp and the windows and doors covered with great wooden blinds, It was apparent that the mejor portion of the business portion of the city bad not been in use durinz the war. The resid-ntial sections north and east of the town are particularly attrac- tive,many Of the residences being of the most costly snd luxurious mature. And the Rand, with its forty milesef gold mines! Itis a wonderful sight. Mile after mile of tal! chimneys and lofty

ings of the various mines—forty miles of them. It was almost inconceivable to realize that these myriads of mines each turned out their thousands of ounces of gold steadily month after month, year after year. It gives ove an idea of the world’s enormous demand for the yellow metal.”
