THE DAILY EXAMINER.
MR. LAURIER IN ENGLAND,
Me. Laverer is visiting England under highly favorable circumstances. Attention is riveted upon the Mother Country by reason of the Diamond Jubilee of our good Queen; and the Premier of the premier colony of the Empire must needs occupy & very prominent position in the unique celebration. It will readily be admitied that Mr. Laurier possesses quali’ ties which fit him to occupy this position. He has an unexceptional manner, and be speaks fluently with just enough of the French accent to render his speech re- markable. As a courtly mar of French extraction, whois British in sentiment and content with British rule, he is not unlikely to promote that cordial friend- ship between the British and the French nations itis the desire of the Imperial Government to cement at this important juncture in the affairs of Europe. Moreover he posesas the champion of Free Trade and also of Preferential Trade with the people of the Mother Country. He says:
which
“By our tariff, we in Canada give you preference as a free gift. We ask nothing in return; we do not desire you to abandon the grand principles of free trade; we desire rather to follow in your free trade lead, trading were trading is most natural. Protection must weaken you, and so_ hurt the Empire and Canada as part of it.”
[t matters not that no preference what~ ever is really given the people of Great
Britain. Mr. Laurier asks them nothing
in return. He is the _ personification of generosity. Ail that the tariff) (ani that is nothing at all) his government gives “freely;” and the British people cheer lustily “the lion of
vives
the hour!” A great energetic and honest people, the people of Great Britain are also extremely guillible; and Mr.Laurier is “fooling them tothe top of their bent.” By doing so he promotes, for the mo- ment, that which is greatly to be de- sired, viz., the best of good fellowship be- tween Canadaand the Mother Country. What the result will be after the people of the Mother Country discover that they have been deceived, Mr. Laurier cares not. His purpose isto be popular in Great Britain while he is there; and the policy which he has adopted will, of course, be successful to that end.
But Mr. Laurier went to Great Britain as the representative of Canada. Is he representing Canadian opinion when he denounces, before the people cf Great Britain, that protective policy upon which the industrial and commercial strength of Canada has been built up? Everyone knows that ifthe question at the last election had beeu simply Free Trade vs Protection, Mr. Laurier would not now lave a baker’s dozen at his back in Parlia- ment. Everyone knows that Mr. Laurier has not dared to change, in any essential point, the Protective Tariff and that his proffer of lower duties on British goods is the veriest moonshine. Consequently Mr. Laurier has no justifica- tion whatever for his announcement to the people of Great Britain that “we”—the people of Canada—desire, under our pre- sent circumstances, to follow “the Free Trade lead.” If we were not beset by the hostile tariff legislation of the United States and if our home industries were no; in danger of being crushed as a result of the removal of our protective duties, we might, perhaps, be ready to follow ‘the Free Trade lead.” But under existing circumstances we mnuét, Of necessity, main- tain the National Policy of Canada; and Mr. Lanrier is not truthfully representing Canadias opinion when he implies that we pow desire Free Trade,

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
—A Halifax correspondent says that most people think the Oak island search for Capt. Kidd’s treasure is a “fake.” There have been stories recently of a find, but these appear to be moonshine. A telegram tonight from Chester says the Oak Island treasure company have at last struck the long looked for pirate tunnel, but owing to the water increasing while Opening it, one of the pumps broke. The two pumps were throwing two hundred gallons per minute. After the accident the treasure pit was filled and the punsps submerged. Men are at work at the shore end of the tunnel trying to stop the water, and Capt. Welling says if this is done it is only a matter of a few days to un- cover the old oak wood that was bored through some years ago.
+ <n ESTEEMED EXCHANGES,
Montreal Star: Ours is the Premier Lauriate.
Montreal Gazette: When Mr. Fielding, in the House of Commons on Friday night, intimated that the Government would ask for power to impose an export duty on sawlogs and pulpwood, Mr. Char!l- ton protested. Michigan will note that Mr. Chariton is doing his duty.
Moncton Times: “ P. E. Island eggs are reported a ‘terrible drag on the market” in Halifax just pow, 74} cents being the best offer that one merchant could get. Grit government does not ap- pear to have enabled the farmer and the farmer’s wife to get better prices for what they have to sell, nor has it lessened the cost of what they have to buy.

It ia said that the Queen intends to con-
fer an honorary grand cross of the Order of the Bath on M. Hanotaux, the French minister for foreign affairs. This honor bas but seldom been bestowed on anyone below the rank of a prince, and at present Biren Lamtremont and the Grand Vizier of the la'te Shah of Persia are the only such persons whose names appear on the list of honorary grand cros-es of the Bath,
Mr. Gladstene lias denctinced as *insol- ent and audacious” the proposal of the Sultan to send an envoy to congratulate tne Queen on her long reign. Nobody, however, seems to nave paid much atten- tion to the grand old word user. M1. Gladstone is going tbrougb Bismarck’s experience, Hg is learning that even a very great man laid on the shelf counts for jess than an ordinary iudividual fight- ing in the struggle of the day.
