Tur Darty EXAMINER,

JULY 12, 1878. :

The Present Unfair Tariff.

Ministerialists have abandoned “Free Trade.” In the face of Mr. Me- Kenzie’s declaration that ‘“‘We have, in this country at the present moment, no idea of having a system of Free Trade,” they can- not say that ‘‘Free Trade” is their policy without making themselves ridiculous. But, they say, there is no need of a readjust- ment of the tariff; and that Sir John McDon- ald only wants to readjust it because he wants to Protect the few by robbing the many—

because he wants to ruin the country in

THe

order that a few rich may become richer.

By opposing the policy set forth in Sir John’s resolution they, in effect, declare thot the present tarifi cannot be ‘*iudicious- ly readjusted.” Now, let us see. Here are a few examples of the unfairness and un- reasonableness and imperfectness of the present tariff:—

Rates of duty paid by Rates of duty paid by

the poor man. the rich man.

RATE. RATE. Petroleum,40 per cent. |Silks, 174 per ct. Tobacco, 214 do Satins, 174 do Sugar, 55 do |Velvets, 174 do Rice, 40 do Jewelry, 174 do Black Tea, 30 do (Millinery, 174 do Molasses, 35 do |Fr. Brandy,80 do Rum, 350 do (Crushed

| Sugar, 40 do ‘Port Wine, 20 do ‘Sh’ry Wine,20 = do Cigars, 40 do Here we see an enormous disproportion between the few luxuries of the poor and the many luxuries of the rich. The poor man pays on his tobacco more than five tines as much as the rich man | does on his choice Havanas ; the poor man pays much more upon his brown sugar than the rich man does upon his crushed sugar ; on the rum of ‘the poor man nearly twenty times as much is paid as upon the choicest wines of the rich ; and the silks, satins, velvets, millinery and ornaments of the wealthy pay not one quarter the average duty of the poor man’s sugar, tea, rice, petroleum and molasses ! Yet, the Ministerialists say there cannot bea “judicious readjustment of the tariff” 1!

City Council.

A meeting of the City Council was held last evening. There were present— the Mayor, the Recorder, Councillors Morris, Quirk, Smith, Stumbles, Heartz, Peake, Davy, Byrne.

A well was ordered, on motion of Coun- cillor Stumbles, seconded by Councillor Davy, to be dug at the junction of Fitzroy Street and Kensington Road.

On motion of Councillor Stumbles, sec- onded by Councillor Davy, the well on Ed- ward Street, near the residence of Isaac Godkin, was ordered to be deepened so as to afford a constant supply of water.

On motion of Councillor Morris, seconded by Councillor Davy, it was resolved—

“That the City Clerk do issue forth- with a requisition to the Assessors of the City of Charlottetown, calling upon them to make an Assessmentof the value of Real Estate in each Ward of the said city, city, and return such Assessment to the City Council within thirty days titer the receipt of the said requisition.”

Councillor Byrne submitted two joint notes of hand—one at 6 months for $40.35, and one at twelve months for $40.35, sign- ed by Richard Mitchell, William Mitchell and John Carroll, for the payment of the fine and costs of Richard Mitchell now in jail. Said notes were accepted.

Councillor Morris introduced a by-law for the management and regulation of Victoria Park. The By-law passed through Com- mittee, and ordered to be read a third time next meeting.

On motion of Councillor Stumbles, sec- onded by Councillor Smith, it was ordered that the offer made by Gordon to alter the plank sidewalk upon the western side of Prince Street, between FitzRoy and Graf- ton Streets, be immediately attended to by the Street Committee.

Council adjourned to meet this (Friday) evening.

Supreme Court.—-In the case of Annie Matheson vs. Wm. McKinley for breach of

yromise the jury last evening returned a verdict of $200 damages for the plaintiff. For the plaintiff Mr. Davies, and for the defendant Mr. C. Palmer. In the case of Malcolm Fraser vs. Malcolm Nicholson, judgment was confessed—each party pay- ing his own costs. John Beer and anothr

vs. Joseph TT. McNeill, an absent debtor, verdict for plaintiffs $891.10.

The case now before the Court is that of James Beales vs. George Foster, an action on a promisory note for $150. The plain- tiff claims interest on this note at 69} per cent. The defendant is a surety—and claims that the note was altered since the making. Mr. Davies for plaintiff, and Messrs. Hodgson and Peters for the de-

fence.

-lthe event with unqualified admiration. The

The Anglo-Turkish Treaty.

Lord Beaconsfield’s coup, it is reported, has thrown into the shade all other topics, but it is as yet too soon to judge what di- rection the current of public opinion here and on the continent will take. The Times Berlin correspondent says : “When the Anglo-Turkish convention was first an- nounced there, English diplomacy en joyed prestige as it has not. enjoyed for a long) time, but later some dissentient voices are heard. ‘The coup, said some, was undoubt- edly clever; but it is questioned whether, in the long run it will redound to the honor and interest of England. Others speak of

Vienna Presse says: ‘We cannot but hail with sincere satisfaction this victory won without bloodshed by English policy over the Eastern question ; for the existece 0 Turkey, so frail when herself and her sole support, will, under the energetic | protec-

tion of England, be able to be maintained forlong years.’ The majority of the Vienna papers speak in the same friendly tone.

The Times’ Paris correspondence represents that public opinion there is about equally divided. While the press comments are very conflicting, some of the | critics say that France ought to be satisfied as it 1s now shown that England has no designs on Egypt, while others declare that England virtually has possession of Egypt in securing Cyprus.”

Sir Garnet Wolseley is to administer the

affairs of the island. “That means, remarks

an exchange, that another and a greater Malta is to be established. Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus—these will, we fancy, con- stitute a respectable ‘‘ British interest ” in the Mediterranean. This new acquisition

to the Empire is about 148 miles long, hay- ing over the greater portion a breadth of 40 miles, and for nearly a third of its length a breath of about 15 miles. Its population is set down at 100,000, of whom about 70,000 are Greeks, and 30,000 Turks. The whole island is occupied by a range of mountains stretching from north-east to south-west, know in heathen mythology as

the third range of Olympus, and whose

highest points, Santa Croce (Olympus) and

Thrapos, attain an altitude of 7,000 feet.

Although mostly rocky and mountainous, the island has some very fertile spots. Its

water supply is deficient, the rainfall on the

mountain tops taking a short and steep run

to the sea, but nevertheless there are on

the mountain sides vast forests of excellent

timber. Under British administration the

natural capabilities of the island, whatever

these may be, will quickly be developed as

they never were before.

The pleasant gentlemen who are fixing up

Eastern affairs at Berlin were not consulted

with regard to this little arrangement be-

tween Great Britain and Turkey, the first

intimation which they had of it being re-

ceived by them after the transfer of Cyprus

to Great Britain had actually taken place.

It seems that this annexation has been a

direct result of the resolve of Russia to ac-

quire territory in Asiatic Turkey. The ter-

ritory which Russia demands in that region

is Batoum, Kars and Ardahan, and she is

certain to receive the two latter, if not the

former. The convention between Great

Britain and Turkey, by which Cyprus has

been acquired by the former, stipulates that if Batoum, Kars and Ardahan are retained

by Russia, and if an attempt is made at| any future time to annex a portion of the Sultan’s territory in Asia not ceded by a definite treaty of peace, Great Britain en- gages to join the Sultan in defending his territory by force of arms. The Sultan, in return, promises to introduce the necessary reforms, to be agreed upon later. In order to enable Great Britain to make the neces- sary provisions for executing her engage- ment, the Sultan consents to assign the is- land of Cyprus, to be occupied and ad- ministered by Great Britain, who agrees to pay to the Porte the present excess of the island’s revenue over iis expenditure. Fin- ally, Great Britain engages to evacuate the island and terminate the convention, if Rus- sia restores Batoum, Kars and Ardahan to Turkey, a contingency which is most un- likely ever to happen. At the same time the insertion of such a clause with refer- ence to the evacuation of the island under certain conditions is a wise measure, for it will have the effect of silencing any Russian objections to Great Britain’s retention of Cyprus. That island will no doubt be re- tained by Great Britain as long as Malta and Gibraltar are retained, and will become equally as valuable as they are for the pur- poses of war. But in other respects Cy- prus is no mean acquisition.

The Candidate.

‘¢ Father, who travels our road so late 7” ‘‘Hush, my child ! ’tis the candidate ! Fit example of human woes, Early he comes and late he goes ; He greets the women with courtly gra:e ; He kisses the baby’s dirty face * ; He calls o’er the fence the farmer at work ; He bores the merchant, he bothers the clerk ; The blacksmith while his anvil rings, He greets, and this is the song he sings : *"Howdy, howdy, how d’ye do? How is your wife, and how are you? Ah, it fits my fist as no other can, The horny hand of the working man.’ ”

Brothers, who labor early and late, Ask these things of the candidate : What is his record? How does he stan: At home? No matter about his hand, Be it hard or soft, so it be not prone To close over money not his own ; Has he in view no thieving plan ? Is he honest and capable ?—he’s your man! Cheer such a man till the welkin rings ; Join in the chorus when thus he sings : ‘* Howdy, howdy, how d’ye do? How is your wife, and how are you? Ah, it fits in my fist as no other can, The honest hand of the working man.”

San Francisco, July 10. The Sierra Flume Lumber Company, operating on Butte, Tehama_azd adjoiming counties, has suspended payment. Lia- bilities about $2,000,000. PortLanp, Oregon, July 10.

At a meeting here on Monday night to take measures to aid the settlers in eastern Oregon, four militia companies of Portland volunteered to start for the scene of the Indian troubles, if their services were re- quired by Chadwick. The Governor tele- graphed that plenty of men could be ob- tained in Eastern Oregon. There is great need of arms and means. If citizens desir- ed to lend assistance they could do so more effectually by forwarding arms and money than to send men.

Yesterday, a volunteer company of 75 or- ganized. This company, with the other four military organizations, will hold them- selves in readiness to march should their services be needed. There is great excite- ment here over the alarming condition of affairs.

New York, July 10.

It is stated that Gen. Shedrian starts for the Black Hills in a few days to personally direct the campaign against the Indians. A telegram from the agent of the Sho- shone Indians in Northern Nevada and Southern Idaho, reports, July 7th, the Sho- shones peaceable and obedient. A Walla Walla despatch, dated the 8th, says: ‘‘ The steamer Northwest left this afternoon. She will be used as a_ patrol boat between here and Umatille. She is commanded by Capt. Wilkinson, who has twenty men hired and twelve soldiers well armed. There is a Gatling gun aboard,and he will receive two howitzers from Van- couver’s. Capt. Wilkinson feels confident he will catch the Indians crossing the river between here and Umatilla to-night. WasHIncTon, July 11—1 a. m.

Orrawa, July 8.—At the excavation for a new livery stable on Queen Street, on the site of the old burying ground, on Satur- day, a skeleton was found, with a pair of beef-skin moccasins on the feet. It is sup- posed it is the remains of a victim to the cholera scourge which visited the city years ago, and had been buried with its clothes on.

Lonvon, July 10.—A Constantinople de- spatch says Mr. Fawcett returned from Lagos, and reports that intense suffering exists among the population soath of Rho- dope mountains. He enumerates the hor- rors perpetrated by Bulgarians and Cossacks and sometimes by regular Russian soldiers. In Domodea district fifty-three villages were plundered and burnt by Russian and Bulgarian troops in the last two months. Twenty-three villages were laid waste and burned in the district of Hasker, and in Philipopolis twelve villages were burnt.

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Dear Str,—It is now clearly ascertained here in Georgetown that the old rum vendors (whose glasses we thought had run dry for ever) are again on the war path, that it is their intention to apply for license in a few days, and that they are canvassing and mus- tering every individual that they know has the right to vote for or against the granting of such license, and tryirg to imduce all those who have not as yet joined our temperance societies to aid them in their daring and bare- faced attempt to again deprive us of the har- mony and peace which has prevailed since their tangle-leg wigwams have been closed. I would strongly advise, and do hope that the members of the Temperance organizations of this town, and all others who have the future prosperity of the place and the welfare of them- selves at heart, will be up and doing, and show those ministers who are trying to get the whip
