THE DAILY EXAMINER.

OCTOBER 23, 1890.

An Imperial Trade Policy.

Ir is pleasing to note that the press of Great Britain is alive to the fact that the aim and object of the legislators at Wash- ington is to constrain Canada to join the United States. Informed upon this point, the statesmen and people of the Mother Country will be all the more likely to adop measures for the retention of the greatest colony of the British Empire. They may, perchance, be induced to make a small sacrifice in order that the people of Canada may have something more than the strong sentiment of loyalty to the Crown to incite them to maintain their allegiance in despite of the schemes of those who enacted “* the McKinley Bill.”

Tt is pleading, too, to note.that Sir John Macdonald and his Ministers have been warmly commended by the most influen- tial organs of British opinion for their re- cent manly and patriotic speeches. There was, in truth, a ring about those speeches which, heard by a British people, could not but fall ‘upon’ sympathetic ears. The determination . expressed by the present Government of Canada not, on any account, to be forced to’ annex their country to the Great Republic—not to enter into any “Commercial. Union” or ‘* Unrestricted Reciprocity” arrangement which must oper- ate to the prejudice of the Mother Country and tend towards Annexation—is applauded by the British press. We have no doubt that the promptneas and alacrity with which the business men of Canada are seeking mar- kets other than those of the United States, from which they have been shut out, will have a favorable effect upon public opinion in the mother country, and put her states- men in the mood to consider any reason- able proposition that may be made for a closer commercial union _ between Great Britain and her possessions throughout the world. Indeed the circum- stances and conditions existing at the present time seem to be altogether favur- able to the proposal of ‘‘ such tariff changes as would give to each part of the Empire advantages in the markets of all. ”

It is evident than an union of this kind would tend more than anything else towardsthe proposed Imperial Confederation which is the hope of many leading British Statesmen.

Our Distinguished Visitors.

Sir Frederick Arthur Stanley, G. C. B., was born on the 15th January, 1841, and is the second son of the fourteenth Earl of Derby. He was educated at Eton, and in 1858 he entered the Grenadier Guards, where he remained seven years. He en- tered the House of Commons in 1865 as Conservative member for Preston, Lanca- shire, and since that date he has been in the service of parliament continuously. For a few months in 1868 he was civil Lord of the Admiralty, and from 1874 to 1877 Financial Secretary to the War Office. After a few months employed as Secretary to the Treasury, he was appointed Secre- tary of State for War in April, 1878, with a seat in the Cabinet, and held this position for two years. Commencing with 1885 he was subsequently Secretary of State for the Colonies for a year, and ‘President of the Board of Trade for two years. The chief incident of his colonial administration was the recall of Sir C. Warren from Bechuana- land. He was raised to the peerage as Baron Stanley of Preston in 1886, He received the appointment of Governor- General of Canada and Commander-in-chief of Prince Edward Island in 1888. He sat as M. P. for Preston. 1865-8; for North Lancashire, 1868-85, and for Blackpool division of Lancashire, 1885-6. During his entire career as a public man he has constantly maintained his connection with the Conservative party, of which his father was a leading light. The present Harl of Derby, brother of the Governor-General and head of the Stanley family, is counted with those Liberals who, on the Irish ques- tion, refuse to follow the lead of Mr. Glad- stone.

Lady Constance Stanley of Preston was born in 1840, the daughter of George Wil- liam Frederick . Villiers, fourth Earl of Clarendon, and the eldest of a family of ten children. Her father was a leading English statesman, and at one time Secre- tary of Foreign Affairs: She was married to Lord Stanley on the 31st of May, 1864, and has been blessed with ten children.

Address from City Council.

PROCESSION BY THE FIREMEN,

Festivities at Government House.

Queen’s weather greeted the Queen’s re- presentative to-day.

It was about noon when H. M. 8. Canada, with their Excellencies the Gov- ernor-General and the Lady Stanley of Preston on board, dropped anchor off Puw- nal Wharf. Shortly after the ship came to anchor, His Worship Mayor Haviland, Hon. Neil McLeod, Premier of the Pro- vince, Hon. P. Blake, Speaker of the House of Assembly, and His Honor Re- corder Fitzgerald went down tothe wharf for the purpose of paying His Ixcellency an official visit on board ship; but as they were about stepping into their boat they were met by His Excellency’s side-de- camp, Captain the Honorable G. W. Walsh, who had _ been despatched to ascertain from the Mayor and Governor what had been arranged. A copy of the programme, as drafted, was then handed the aide-de-camp, and he returned to the ship. Shortly afterwards His Excellency called upon His Honor the Lieutenant- Governor at Government House.

Shortly before three o’clock this after- noon their Excellencies landed in state. They were met at the wharf by His Wor- ship Mayor Haviland, the members of the City Council, the Premier and other mem- bers of the Local Government, and a large number of citizens. From the wharf their Excellencies were escorted to the Provincial Building where they were received by a guard of honor under the command of Captain Weeks. As their Excellencies landed from the ship a salute of 19 guns was fired from Fort Edward by a detach- ment from No, 1 Battery, G. A. The ad- dress of the City Council was then present- ed in the Legislative Council Chamber. The address was beautifully printed in colors by Mr. John Coombs, and was read by His Worship Mayor Haviland. Follow- ing is a copy :—

| To His Excellency the Right Honorable Sir

Frederick Arthur Stanley, Baron Stanley of Preston, Knight Grand Cross of the Mast Honorable Order of the Bath, Governor General of Canada.

We, the {Mayor and Common Council- men of the City of Charlottetown, on behalf of the citizens of the capital of the Province, beg to extend to you, on this the occasion of your first visit, a most cordial welcome.

We are glad that Your Excellency, in your visitation of the different provinces of the Dominion, has extended to us the pleasure of seeing the representative of our Sovereign, and though at this advanced season of the year an agricultural country such as ours can- not be seen at its best advantage, yet we trust that Your Excellency will, during your short stay, have abundant. evidence presented to you of the comfort and contentment of a people who value as a rich heritage their con- nection with the British Crown. ?

Descended from a line of Imperial states- men distinguished alike by vigor of action and the highest intellectual attainments, we confidently look for, in Your Excellency, that

Gracious Majestv’s Government in Canada which has characterized your predecessors and which has always tended to the more closely welding of the newer to the older Britain. Your Excellency’s visit to every Province

in Canada is an additional earnest to us of your desire worthily to represent our Gracious Sovereign, and we beg to assure you of our great gratification at seeing you in -this Proy- ince, which, though lying on the outskirts of the Canadian Dominion, is inhabited by a people noted for loyalty to Queen and Country, whose itolated position, though making them perhaps more jealous in guarding home inter- ests, yet binds them more firmly to a Consti- tution which guarantees the fullest. measure of liberty and prosperity fo its people. Trusting that. Your Excellency and Lady Stanley will enjoy your visit,° we have the honor to remain Your Excellency’s most obedient servants,

In reply, His Excellency delivered a short, pleasing speech, thanking the Council for their address and accepting the delight- ful weather as a happy augury in respect to his visit to Prince Edward Island, He re- ferred to the peculiar position of this Pro- vince, and said that it was the object of himself and his government to weld more closely all the interesrs of the Dominion, not forgetting those of any. He declared that he felt sure his visits to the various Provinces would result in good, expressed his belief that if denied access to the mar- kets of the United States, the Canadian people would find other markets, and as- sured the Council that Lady Stanley and himself would always look back with the greatest pleasure to their reception in Char- lottetown.

At half-past three a reception was held at Government House, where a large num- ber of persons were presented to their Excellencies.

His Honor the Lieut. Governor and Mrs. Carvell will entertain their Excellenciesand a number of prominent citizens at dinner at Government House this evening. After dinner there will be a grand ball, for which a large number of invitations have been issued.

The Markets.

Continued heavy rains and boisterous weather have émbarassed our farmers and men of busines much more than «the Mc- Kinley tariff or anything of that kind. Work in the field was almost at a standstill until within the past two days, and carting on the roada has been next to impossible.

A very fair price—38 to 40 cents per bushel—continues to be offered for oats. The misfortune is that we have not many oats to sell, and not much money can be derived from that source. Our farmers are, however, beginning to find out that it does not pay to raise vats at any price that can be offered for them. A second comparative failure of the oat, crop will have thia good effect: It will cause their produce something more profitable and better for the land. The price of oats in the markets of the Upper Provinces at last advices was 41 to 42 cents per bushel.

Fifty-cents per bushel is offered’ in this city for barley. :

Most of the potatoes remain in the gu A large proportion of those that

ave been sold have gone to ‘he starch factories, at 14 cents per bushel per little and big. It is pleasing to learn that rot has not effected the chenangoes. The prices offering in this city are 16 to 17 cents.

A Montreal despatch says that the lnter- colonial Railway has been asked for 100 cars to. load potatoes at River ‘DeLoup. The crop of oats in lower Quebec have not been very good, but farmers will certainly make up with potatoes, of which there is a good crop and selling well.

Eggs are in light supply at 14 to 15 cents per dozen here. The tendency of the market is a little upward. In Montreal according to the Gazette, the egg market continues to rule steady, under very light arrivals and a good consumptive mpve- ment, The price for held goods is still 16 or but uew laid stock brings 18@ 194 easily.

uotations for pork in Montreal, are as follows :

Canadian short cut per bri, $17 50 to $18 00 Mess pork, western, per brl, 16 50 to 17.00
