English View of the Case.

\ rnECENT issue of the London, Eng.,

Telegraph contained the following article

on one of the great public questions of the

day

‘John Stuart Mill held that our colonies justified in imposing duties on foreign goods, so as to encourage the growth of local industries, which otherwise would be crushed in their infancy by English competi tion. Canadians, however, have much more reason to dread their American rivals, The y are, sv to spe ik, on the spot, connected by the lines of rail with every Canadian city They have on their side maturity and immense capital. Were Canada once opened free to the United States, it would be so deluged with Yankee goods that no Cana- dian factory could stand the competition for twelve months. This would simply mean that the Dominion would cease to be a manu- It would sink back intoa

mere tarm for the United States—an agricultural annex to the great republic. Its population would consist almost ex- clusively of tillers of the soil, poorly paid,

water to varieties of

hewers of wood and drawers of Americans flourishing in all the commerce, manufacturing and trade. This is aot what true Canadian patriots desire. Ever since 1879 they have fostered factories of all kinds on their soil, and the résult has been so successful that hundreds of Americans have transferred their machinery and their capital across the border, so as to secure the new market by residence in Canada itself. They have thus afforded employment to thousands of Canadians, who are fast becoming skilled laborers at handsome wages instead of farm hands poorly rewarded. All these nascent industries would be swamped in a year if the present tariff on American goods were re- moved and if reciprocity were adopted. Then Canada would lose the great advantage of a mixed population. Everybody knows that wriculture thrives best in the neighborhood ot factories and towns, and the national ideal is one that would diversify the occupa- tions of the people and intermix them locally -scattering manufacturies over the face of the land, and feeding the factory hands from the produce of the adjacent fields. The oppo- site of this standard is the devotion of whole provinces or nations to purely rural advoca- tions—a system which has been the curse of Ireland and was the drawback to the southern states of America before the civil war. Peas- ants who never come into contact with manu- facturers, machinery or commerce are apt to degenerate into boors, while we see in Lan- ceashire the painful results of the landscape and to the physique of the people of a popula- tion divorced from the soil. Canada can never become a purely manufacturing state— there is no danger of that with its millions of acres unoccupied—but it might become a purely agricultural, and therefore a very poor state, if its tariffs did not protect it te some extent from English, but above all from Am- erican, competition. Therefore we applaud the patriot efforts of the Dominion statesmen to build ap varied industries in their native land, to resist the tendency of unrestricted competition towards making all their people tillers of the soil, and to teach a section of their population how to compete with Eng- lishmen amd Yankees in the profitable pro- duction of manufactured goods. The decision of the Canadian House of Commons is a_ver- dict in favor of the national as opposed to the continental system. It strives after a Canada that shall be self-reliant, self-dependent and complete within itself—not a ‘one-horse’ Canada growing food for American stomachs.”

“What did they do in regard to that eharge’? Did they attempt to prove it? No; after they had scoured the neighborhood they failed to find one jot or tittle of evidence to sustain the charge, and having brought it into court and having failed to establish one iota of the charge, the hon. gentleman, the scaven- ger of his party, is employed to come here and bring it, before Parliament, where no legal investigation can take place, where no evidence can be offered, and where no judicial decision can be obtained.

Sir Richard here in a towering rage jump- ed to his feet and objected to being called a scavenger.

** Quick as thought itself the answer came— ‘If the hon. gentleman from South Oxford loes not desire to be placed in the position of scavanger, in which he might be a success, I . leave him where he has always been a failure.’ (Tremendous cheers.) * * * * The hon. gentleman himself is a shifting candi-

date. (Cheers) The place that knows him once rarely knows him again for ever. (Cheers and laughter.) But so far as Mr.

Jones is concerned, he is trusted and honored by the people who know him. He ig elected by his own neighbors, wherein he differs from the hon. gentleman from South Oxford, who ts most frequently seen soliciting the confi- dence of people who know him not. (Cheers. )”

Our Book Table.

We have two of the entertaining stories that issue from the publishing house in Toronto, of William Bryce. One is en- titled **Cradled in a Storm,” and as can well be imagined, is a stormy narrative of love and disaster, but as ‘‘ all's well that ends well,” this story must have the credit of being well told. The other is called ** A Woraan’s Face,” and perhaps that of Flor- ence Warden, the writer of it, for it reads very much as she looks, brimful and run- ning over. There are so many sides to a woman's face in a generic sense that the best advice we can give to the curious in word pictures of womanhood, is to buy a copy for the sake of the new impressions this one conveys. Wm. Bryce, of Toronto, is the publisher.

In section II, 1887, of the Trans. Roy. Soc., Canada, will be found an interesting account of Jacques Cartier’s first voyage by W. F. Ganong, with an accolupanying map of the Gulf of St. Lawrence illustrating the above. Four: vetsions of the explorer’s narrative have been already published, but this last, compiled from two of the most trustworthy sources, is now laid before the public, the perusal of which will be found

very instructive to P- E. Islanders. nn mane

The Cabinet Changes.

The retirement of Sir Charles Tupper and the promotion of Mr. Foster to the head of the finance department were an- nounced in our columns yesterday. Sir Charles has a good deal of work cut out for him in his new sphere, notably the treaty with Spain, which has been dragging so long. During the period since he resigned the high commissionership he has taken a position second only to that of the premier. He reached Canada on the eve of the elec- tions and threw himself into the campaign with his old vigor. The repealers claimed to have his province solid against the gov- ernment, and Mr, Jones had made his boast that he would go to Ottawa with nineteen members at his back. He brought there a miserable half dozen, and blamed Tupper for the loss of the rest. The re- pealers would have been beaten without Sir Charles, but they would have been less thoroughly destroyed out of the land. In the period between the election and the next session, Sir Charles devoted himself to the work of revising the tariff, particularly in respect to the iron and coal duties. During the last recess he was engaged in the fishery negotiations. In parliament this session he had the double duty of attending to the business of his department, and of ex- plaining and defending the fishery treaty. fhe appointment of Mr. Foster to the position vacated by Sir Charles is a very high compliment. Mr. Foster's predeces- sors have been, next to the premier, the most eminent statesmen of their day. Sir Alexander Galt, Sir John Rose, Sir Francis Hincks, Sir Richard Cartwright, Sir Leon- ard Tilley, Mr. A. W. MecLelan and Sir Charles Tupper were all older men and had seen long service before they were called to the portfolio of Finance. Mr. Foster, at the age of forty, and in the seventh year of his public life, has attained almost the top of the political ladder. The career of Mr. Foster teaches that in this country a man of brain and industry can make his way even though he is not born rich and has no powerful family influence to help him along. The Minister of Finance has not obtrusively pushed himself forward, nor has he weakly held back. Such work as lay before him he has done thoroughly. He had thus made himself the best avail- able man when a Minister was wanted two years ago, and now again when a successor to Sir Charles Tupper is required. Con- sidered in the light of pure departmental business there is really no promotien in this last change, for during the past two years there has really been no more re- spousible department, or one requiring greater attention and better judgment, than that from which Mr. Foster has been taken. By tradition and common consent, however, it is a higher position, carrying with it more prestige and greater in- fluence. —St. John Sun.

Fire at Summerside.

A fire broke out this morning at half-past six o'clock in the bake-house of Mr. C. L. Woodside, in Summerside. The fire was first observed by a Mrs. Macleod, who lives in a house opposite. The alarm was at once given, and there was a prompt turnout of the firemen and engines. The new fire engine threw two large streams of water from a tank in the neighb rhood of the fire, but it was impossible to save the bakery which was totally destroyed.

From the bakery the fire spread to Mr. J. McLeod’s warehouse adjoining. This building was partially destroyed, and a large quantity of goods owned by Messrs. Wright Bros. stored thereon wag damaged.

Mr. Woodside estimates his loss at §250 over and above insurance, which is $250 in the Queen, for which Mr. James DesBrisay is the agent.

Wright Bros. loss is $1,000; Mr. Macleod’s loss $100 —no insurance.

Fortunately for the town there was no wind blowing at the time. Had there been, we would, no doubt, haye had a very serious conflagration to chronicle,

The fire engine did splendid work.

The Church and Temperance. Rev. Mr. Herridge, of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Ottawa, the largest and wealthiest congregation in that city, is attracting attention by his sermons on the temperance question. In his sermon a week ago he declared that there was no warrant in the Bible for the enforcement of total abstinence on those who did not be- lieve it necessary. Last Sunday night, dealing with the duty of Church and State, he denied the right of the State to prohibit liquor unless the sale or use of it could be considered a crime. He defined the daty of the State to be to educate in the schools and otherwise a public sentiment against

alcohol. The duty of the Church, he thought, did not include the declaration

of ways and means of enforcing temper- ance. He deprecated church advocacy of the Scott Act or anything of that kind. When the church did such things, whether through a Pope, General Conference, or General Assembly, it decended from the region of eternal truth to the doubtful ground of transient expediency. The Gos- pel of Christ was the best means of repress- ing intemperance There is considerable stir over Mr. Herridge’s stand, and it is hinted that the matter may come up in the Church session.

The Liquor Traflic in Posland.

(St. John Gazette.)

If the people of any city in he world preserve their souls in patienccin times of tribulation, it appears to the Gizette that those people have their domicile iy the city of Portland. Something more han one year ago those people, by their hllots de- cided to abolish the dram shop wihin their borders, and good men and true, shoughout the Province, applauded their vigorowaction; it appeared that the stigma that lad long rested on the fair name of the cty was about to be removed—that the dunken brawls that church goers had so ofte, been compelled to witness (for many of thePort- land bars seldom closed their doors m the Sabbath) would become infrequent, and that minors would no longer be tempted, within a stone’s throw of their parnts’ residences, to form an appetite for strong drink,

The Scott Act was carried and the sood people of Portland breathed freely. After the first day of May, they said to them- selves and to one another, there willbe no more open bars within the limits of thy city.

What was the result? The first of May arrived, the bar rooms remained open the license fees were unpaid; the city lost $4,000 of its revenue; taxes were swilled to make up the deficiency ; the bar toms continued open, and continue open t this day—open day and night, open Sundays as well as other days, and no one molets or makes their keepers afraid. Who is repon- sible for this condition of affairs? The mayor, the aldermen, the chief of peice, the police magistrate and all their stbor- dinates, not one of whom is qualifiel for the position he occupies. And the tem- perance people of Portland are hardly less responsible. They submit quietly to mis- rule, and appear indifferent to the fact that drinking dens are being opened alnost daily in all the alleys and disreputable corners of the city.

The Gazette has never had faith in the utility of the Scott Act, but it believes shat an effort should be made to carry out its provisions in all districts where it has been adopted. All laws should be obeyel as long as they are laws ; if they are imprécti- cable or unjust, it is for the people to secure their repeal. There is but one sensible way to deal with the liquor ques- tion to-day. A license law, such as is now in force in St. John, is the best law we have ever known here. Such a law, strictly carried out, presages further limi- tations to the traffic, and ultimately prohi- bition. The abolition of slavery was azitat- ed in the United States nearly a hundred years betore it was accomplished. It was finally hedged about, and in desperation died by its own hand.. The liquor. traffic will die by its own hand when it finds itself hedged in as slavery was hedged in by the patient but persistent North.

CITIZEN. The Football Matches.

Sir,—Allow me to make a few coxrec- tions in the report of the football matches, as it appeared in Friday’s ExaMINeER.

The reason that the Pictou men were not on hand as agreed on is this: The Beaver had been chartered to convey them over the evening before ; she failed to put in an appearance, and at the eleventh hour the Pictoy boys, rather than disappoint the

slanders, hired a tug, on which they came over, being on deck all the way ang haying no seating accommodation. They had wired Mr. Davies to have lunch ready, but he did not receive the despatch, as the con- nection was broken somewhere, so that they had to wait until after eleven before they had anything toeat. The St. Dun- stan’s Gollege footkall team did not gain a decisive victory or one of ayy other kind over the New Glasgow team last spring. The successful College team atthe time was that of the Prince of Wales College, which defeated Pictou Academy team. The only superiority that the Abegweits showed over the Pictou boys was in the kicking of the half-backs, with one excep- tion, To those who saw the try secured by Pictou, there was no doubt about their being entitled to it. 1 saw it,

The Pictou team was not gathered from all quarters ; everyone in it resides in Pic- tou, and ail are bona fide members of the Pictou Football Club, and have paid their dues. The Islander and three Halifax boys in the team belong to Pictou Academy. One-third, at least, of the Abegweits were not Abegweits at all, but noted athletes, etc., picked up from all over the Island.

See! the grass is springing up, And earpeting the Square, Challenging the Buttercup To visit and bloom there.

Green, in every tender hue, Is spreading far and near, Searching where the blossoms grew And flowered out last year.

Soon, the flowers of the lawns Will fleck each verdant slope,

And untutored bloom will don The golden-pointed cope.

But, when art and nature blend, (As oftentimes before),

And bloom-delegates attend That dreaded winter more,

Crowning glories will be bent Above the mantling green,

Answering the firmament, And giving sheen for sheen.

Telling man, by every gleam, One truth, (which nature gives To every spirit dream), That, HE WHO DIES STILL LIVES.
