Tue Darty EXAMINER,

~ DECEMBER 6, 1878.

The “Globe” and Mr. Lathern.

We quote from the columns of the

Toronto Globe the following paragraph :—

‘The Rev. John Lathern, of Charlottetown, is evidently a political supporter of the Minis- ter of Marine and Fisheries. In a recent lecture he said that ‘he was in theory a free trader. He would plead earnestly for unfet- tered traflic ; and would not be sorry if, be- tween two countries situated as these were— if, along the whole boundary line, from ocean to ocean—tariffs and custom houses were swept away. But if we could not have free trade, or reciprocity in articles of staple pro- duetion, then, as a measure of self-defence, we should seek reciprocity of protection. The restrictions of the one country should find their equivalent in the tariff arrangements of the other.’ How like the position of some ot the ‘ National Policy’ advocates, and how unlike that of others! Mr. Pope and his friends want a protective tariff as a means of securing free trade ; the manufacturers of On- tario want a protective tariff as a permanent thing to enable them to keep out United States goods altogether. Which is to be?’

The Globe is venturesome. It makes an assertion respecting the party politics of one of our clergymen when the most inti- mate friends ef that gentleman would not hazard an opinion upon the subject. The Rev. Mr. Lathern has no party” politics ; but, like every enlightened man who has studied the question of our tariff and the wants of the country, he has arrived at the conclusion that, ‘‘if we could not have free trade, or reciprocity in articles of staple production, then, as a measure of self-de- fence, we should seek reciprocity of protec- tion.” If the Globe had undertaken to give an opinion of the patriotism, and not the party politics, of the gentleman who lectured upon our trade relations, then our contemporary would be dealing with a question which it is presumed to know something about. But while there are men in our midst who desire to see this country prosper, through the exertions of its own people, and perpetuate British institutions on this side of the Atlantic, we find the Globe manifesting its loyalty in the direction of the neighboring Republic, by advocating a policy which would ultimately lead to the absorbtion of this Canada of ours by that country. Perhaps the following illustra- tion given by the lecturer—whom the Globe quotes — may act as a window to let a little light in upon the politically dark nrinds of its contributors :—

Mr. Lathern referred to the fact that in getting books from the United States, in addition to the cost of production in New York, he had to pay a duty of five per cent. But when proposing to introduce to the market across the lines, through the agency of a New York firm, one of his own publi- cations, he was met by a tariff of twenty-five per cent.—amounting to absolute prohibi- tion—so far as any financial transaction was concerned. In the United States he could have the advantage of that market, and with an insignificant restriction, also that of the Dominien. But living in Canada, there was practically no access to the Re- public.

We might give other illustrations, but the Globe is acquainted with them all. For party purposes it continues to disseminate unpatriotic sentiments—which it, luck- ily, is powerless to carry out. The fol- lowing, from the New York Herald, cer- tainly assures us of the intentions of the men in power to reverse the unpatriotic policy of the Great George Brown.

The Herald, in its correspondence from the Lord Lorne tour, gives the follow- ing, which may be taken for what it is worth :—

While the train was passing up this roman- tic valley, and along the shores of this lonely lake, aninterview was taking place in the palace car which may be fraught with impor- tant consequences to Canada:—Sir John A. Macdonald, the Premier of the Dominion, had for the first time an opportunity of holding a ae, conversation with the Marquis, and of explaining to him the policy which he propos- ed to carry out in Canada, especially with ce-

d to the tariff. The exact text of the in- terview has not transpired; but it is pretty well understood that the result was very satis- factory, and that the Governor and Premier are in perfect accord with respect to the future policy of the Cabinet.

Apropos of this, it may be mentioned that Hon. Dr. Tupper, Minister of Public Works, in an interview with yonr correspondent to- day, explained that the Government did not intend to enact a protective tariff pure and simple, but to modify it, so that a higher duty would be placed on some articles, while others would be relieved. He said that Canada ha never had Free Trade, and would not her: after have a protective tariff, but such a r-: |

justment as seemed necessary to revive i. in dustries of the country.

<> o— —--—

Wuitz the express from Halifax, on the 3rd inst., was approaching the iron bridge west of New Glasgow, a woman was seen on the bridge, but too late to stop the train be- fore it overtook her. She was carried t the north end of the bridge on the cow-catcher, and when the train was stopped she was found to be dead. Her name was Catherine Gordon. She was a daughter of Robert Gor- don, senr., of Piedmont Valley, and was of about middle age. Every effort was made te stop the train in time to save her life, al- though the woman was near enough the further end of the bridge to escape she not apparently lost her presence of mind. Her body was not disfigured,

Dead Shots at Living Follies.

THE ‘‘aRGUS” PLATFORM.

EDITOK OF ON THE

Mr. Fuercuer’s lecture — delivered in Reform Club Hall last evening—was crisp and interesting. His first shot was at

THE FOLLY OF IGNORING THE VALUE OF PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE,

The lecturer said that the great end of life is to accomplish something ; and to gain that end practical knowledge is neces- sary. Mere readers only know what other men haye accomplished. The knowledge gained from books is valuable, but the ex- perience gained from active life is true wis- dom. The man who lacks practical talent may be a great thinker and a great worker, an acute reasoner and an eloquent speaker ; and yet trifles may weave themselves around him and destroy all his usefulness. The secret of success lies in being alive to what is going on around us, and in making use — with tact and judgment — of practical knowledge. It is foolish not to learn to be practical. Another very common folly is

EXPECTING SUCCESS WITHOUT EARNEST LABOR,

Earnest labor always commands success. Shirking labor has become one of the fine arts ; but it is never successful in the end. The man who has genius without energy may be a rocket—he can never be a star. And it is better to be a bright and steady star than one that blazes, flashes for a sea- son, and cies. Let us then, on the frag- inents of our shattered plans—on the ruins

of our misspent moments—rear a large and stately editice whose top shall reach the skies, whose beauty shall gladden the eyes of all beholders, whose doors shall stand wide open to receive the way-worn and the weary. Life is a burden ; but it is imposed by God. Let it beadiadem upon our brow, end not a millstone upon our neck.

lay it down triumphantly. Above and be- yond all, let us assist each other in the race of life :—

Lend a hand to one another In the daily toils of life ; When we meet a weaker brother Let us help him in the strife. There is none so rich but may In his time be forced to borrow, And the poor man’s turn to-day May become our own to-morrow:

Lend a hand to one another When malicious tongues have thrown Dark suspicions on your brother, Be not prompt to cast a stone. There is none so good but may Run adrift in Roche and sorrow, And the best of men to-day May become the worst to-morrow.

Lend a hand to one another

In the race for honor’s crown, Should it fall upon your brother

Let not every tear it drown. Lend a hand to all, I say,

In their sunshine and their sorrow, Another prize we’ve lost to-day

May become our own to-morrow.

CENSURING MEN FOR MAKING RICHES.

Those who most despise wealth and de- nounce those who make it, are never able to rub two dimes together. The desire of gain stimulates industry and_ enforces economy. It promotes trade, dispels misery, relieves wretchedness, fills men with splen- did resolves, and impels him to deeds of daring and self-sacrifice. It is foolish to censure men for trying, in an honorable way, to be rich.

POVERTY IS NOT AN INSUPERABLE BARRIER TO A MANS SUCCESS.

It is better to be born fortunate than rich. Men are capable of triumphing over poverty. No young man is the better for being wealthy. Let a man work and save and he will not long remain the slave of poverty. Through the wilderness is the road to Canaan. Young man, be not disheartened even though you be a poor man’s son. Let us ask :—

What doth the poor man’s son inherit ? Stout muscies and a sinewy heart,

A hardy frame, a hardier spirit;

King of two hands he does his part

In every useful toil nd art—

A heritage it seems to me,

A king might wish to hold ia fee.

What doth the poor man’s son inherit ? Wishes o’erjoyed with humble things, A rank adjudged to toilsome merit; Content that from employment springs A heart that in his labor sings—

A heritage it seems to me,

A king might wish to hold in fee.

What doth the poor man’s son ‘inherit ? A patience learned of being poor; Courage, if sorrow comes, to bear it

A fellow feeling that is sure

To make the outcast bless the door.

A heritage it seems to me---

A king might wish to hold in fee.

O poor man’s son! Scorn not thy state Their is worse weariness than thine

In being merely rich and great;

Toil only gives the soul to shine

And makes rest fragrant and benign— A heritage it seems to me

Worth being poor to hold in fee.

THE FOLLY OF PUTTING UNDUE RESTRAINT UPON CHILDREN.

The lecturer contended that it is foolish to crib, cabin and confine children. Let them be taught to respect and obey their superiors; but give them plenty of tresh air and exercise; and let them follow the bent of their minds.

THE FOLLY OF THE PRACTICE OF RELIGIOUS BEGGING.

The lecturer denounced the folly of not paying clergymen good salaries, and going round begging for them. He says there is too much begging in our Churches to-day, and a heathen who supports him- self is better than a beggarly Christian. THE FOLLY OF USING INTOXICATING LIQUORS,

This—the lecturer thinks—is the worst folly of all. He denounced the license

system.

HH FOLLY OF FORSAKING THN COUNTRY AND RUSHING TO THE CITIES,

Some men go into the City and do well ; but the majority instead of making a spoon, spoil a horn. If the rush was from the | City to the country, the times would not | be as bad as they are to-day. The imi gration of farmers son's to the towns 16 working irrevocable injury to thousands of young men. Agriculture 16 the most honorable of all occupations, and it is folly | to renounce it.

The lecturer was repeatedly applauded ; | and at the close received a hearty vote of | thanks. David Lawson, Esq., occupied the Chair.

Tue County Court is now three days in session, and a number of cases are yet en ‘the docket to be disposed of. Mr. Peters is acting-counsel for a number of parties. Great dissatisfaction is manifested by rea- | gon of a member of the legal profession be- ing allowed to plead in the lower Court, and an amendment of the Statute is demanded.

The streets of the town are beautifully spread with a covering of mud, ankle deep.

The verandah of the Medical Hall was blown down by the late, storm. The dis- ciple of Aisculapius, the proprietor, narrow- ly escaped a terrible death. It required the services of six men to extricate him from his perilous situation. It was a fearful storm.

The train arrived at the new Station House last night, on its regular trip, for the first time, and the beach route is abandon- ed. The Station House there might now ke converted into a Rink.

Tea and Entertainment in the Bible Christian Church.

Tue Tea inthe School Room of the Bible Christian Church came off last night with grand success, The tables were well spread with all / that was required to give any one a good tea; and were wel! attended to by the young ladies and gentlemen who served. All who partook of tea went away satisfied that they had done justice to what was set before them. After the tea was over the friends repaired to the body of the Church, which was filled to excess; and one of the best entertainments was given by the choir and childrenof theSunday School, that has been given for sometime past in in any place. The solos, choruses and duets sung by the children, were well performed, and gave general satisfaction. The choir also did their part in good style, and received great ap- plause. The recitations by the small folks were well given, and showed that they were completely trained. Both the singers and re- citers were well trained under their musical instructors, Messrs. Knight and Stiggins. The whole affair was a decided success, and was well managed by the committee. It realized the handsome sum of $85.
