THE DAILY EXAMINER, DECEMBER 3), 1892

Imperial Free Trade

No one expected that the Patriot would favor ** Feee Trade throughout the British Empire, and protection against all com- mercially hostile nations.” The Patriot is a champion f Unrestricted Reciprocity be-

tween Canada and the United States, in- volving a heavy discrimination against Great Briain and all our sister colonies and all the rest of the world,—practically restricting our trade to the North American continent. Therefore, the Patriot cannot consistent'y favor an Imperial zollverein.

But the Patriot might have refrained from condemning as a ‘‘ fad” a movement in which Lord Rosebery ond a large num- ber of the most eminent statesmen of Great Britain and Greater Britain are partakers. The greatest names of the empire are not associated with a mere ‘*fad” such as that which has been promoted by Wiman in the States and by Cartwright, Laurier, Farrer and their followers in Canada.

Granted that the colonies have not, in the past, been able to supply the food and raw materials required by Britain's manu- facturing millions,—this fact does not imply that they may not, under more advantaz- eous circumatances, do so in future. The policy of the lmperial Pederationists would, if carried out, mean freedom of trade over an area of eight millions of squsre miles, now actually com- prised within the British possessions To say that this vast territory, portions of which are situate in every part of the world, with their populations aggregxting 309,000,000, may not be rendered practi- cally indipsndent of the commercially hos- tile nations, to the mutual benefit of all its sections, is to ssy that which is unreason-. able. Canada could easily supply the mother country with much more than double or treble as much wheat and cattle and cheese, etc., as she has in the past,— to ber great profit. Australia and New Zealand, India and South Africa, could as easily multiply the commedities which they send to the Mother Couatry. They would do so, if given an advantage over the com- mercially hostile nations.

But how would British Free Trade and Foreign Pretection affect the mother country / Great Britain would atill obtain a large part of the surplus products of the foreign countries. The United States, for instance, woull have to do something with its surplus of wheat and corn and cattle. Would the British workman hive to pay more for his loaf Not likely. What has been the experience of the United States? They have a duty of 25 cents per bushel upon potatoes; we have had a surplus of potatoes; and our farmers— according to the Patriot—have paid out of their pockets a very large proportion of that United States duty in order that we might get our surplus potatoes into the United States mirkets. Prices of fool and raw materials in Great Britain would be little, if at all, enhanced by reason of a duty upon the products of commercially- hostile nations and free trade throughout the Empire

Oa the other hand, the manufacturers and artisans of Great Britrin would be greatly benefitted by reasun of the very much larger sale of their products in the colonies and dependencies of the Empire. Population in these latter would rapidly increase, and there would be a correspend- ing demand for manufactured articles. The

tritish workman woulkl, consequently, le in a better position to pay for his raw material and his food. At the present time the British povsessions are very much the best customers for British goods, and they would be better under a system of Im- perial Free Trade

Notes and Comments

— The total popular vote in the late Presidential election is now given as; Democrat, 5.607.124; Republican, 5,282,- 086; Populist, 996,996; Prohibition, 280,- 894. This is not official yet for several of the states; but it is thought to be pretty accurate. A table will show iis relation to the vote since 1890

—Toronto World: One of the largest manufacturers in Canada of a class of goods universally worn by ail classes was saluted yesterday with the abuve question. He replied, ‘1 never had a more satisfactory year in my long experience. Collections have been good, and L have plenty of or ders to keep us busy until spring.” He then launched oat into a denunciation of growlers about “* hard times,” and said that after a prolonged visit to the States, to inspect f.ctories of his own class, he had come home more than ever convinced that on the whole Canada was commercially better off than the Repeblic. He granted that ia the U. S., some men made larger incomes, but, *‘ taking this country, man for man, there is a higher average of com- fort in Canada,

—A notable race was recently concluded

between the Cunard liner Etruria and the Inman line steamship City of Paris. Both

vessels left their New York piers at nearly

the same hour on December 17. The City of Paris, how: vor, crossed Sandy Hook bar on her way cut at five minutes to 4 p. m. and the Etruria followed thirty-five minutes

| later. Nv one supposed the Etruria would

overtake, much less pass, her fivet rival. The Etruria crossed in six days 6 hours and

| 26 minutes. The time of the City of Paris

wa: 6 days 12 hours and 21 minutes. No one in the Inman office ventured to explain the reason for the favorite’s defeat. The Etruria is a single-screw, steel-hulled ves- sel, 520 feet long, 57 feet beam, and 49 feet deep. She registers 8,000 tons, and has triple expansion engines of 14,000 horse power

—Reports from Switzerland contain in- teresting information respecting the dairy industry. Switzerland is one of the lead ing competitors of Canada in supplying the British market with butter and cheese. The little nation exports some $7,500,000 worth of cheese annually, nearly all to the British islands. Of late, however, great attention has been paidto the production of condensed milk. In 1891 Switzerland exported condensed milk to the value of nearly $3,000,000, nearly all of which went to Great Britain. The report gves sumewhat fully into the Swiss agricultural system, and makes it appear that the Aar- mer gets a good deal more for milk for condensing purposes than was formerly paid by the cheese factories. The system of co-operation for various purposes con- nected with dairying has in Switzerland, according to this report, “ placed within the Swiss peasant’s reach the means of enriching himself to an extent which was formerly impossible when he was content to dispose of the greater portion of his milk to the cheese factories at the not un usual price of 10 or 11 centimes per litre.” The price mentioned is as near as may be to two cents pet quart, or not far from that paid by the factories to the farmers in this country. That little Switzerland sends to Great Britain two-thirds as much cheese 88 the whole of Canada, and in addition sends condensed milk to the value equal to one- third of the cheese exports, goes to show the great possibilities of the Canadian cheese trade. Our trade in this commodity is going ahead by leaps and bounds. Ac- cording to the English board of trade re- turns it amounted to over $11,09,000 in the eleven months ending November 30th of this year, as against $9,400,000 in the same period last year. But there is no prospect of glutting the British market, which for this article is practically unlim- ited,

The Children’s Entertainment.

Tue poor children of the town were made happy yesterday afternoon. Up- wards of four bundred of them sat down at the many long tables set in Market Hall. Such practical exhibitions of hearty appreciation, gastronomic ability and expressive enjoyment as only lusty healthy youngsters can give, were the reward of the committee and those who provided the repast. It was indeed a happy Christmas feast. The pleasure of the poor children was equalled by the generosity of the well. to-do providers of the feast; and all were happy. We doubt not that the donors felt for once at least, the full force of the aphorism, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” The Punch and Judy Show, by Messrs. G. I. Foster and Charles Rowe, was a laughable teaturs of the entertainment, and the music by the Artillery Band was excellent. Four han dred gifts of clothing, etc., were distributed, the principal donors being Messra. Prowse Brothers, Beer Brothers, W. A. Weeks & Co., James Paton & Co., Goff Brothers, Beer & Goff, E. W. Taylor, and J. M. Me- Leod. The Messrs. Rattenbury sup- plied one hundred and fifty pounds of candy, a large part of which was con-

sumed on the spot. Altogether, the enter-

tainment for the children was a happy idea, happily carried out. Everyone gives

credit to Judge Fitzzerald, the Rev. James

Simpson, Rov. W. W. Brewer, Senator and Mrs. Macionald, Mr. and Mrs. Jamea, Mr. and Mrs. W F. Carter, Mr. Patk. Mona- ghan and all the ladies and gentleman —too numerous to mention—who took an active part in providing the food and the fun. — Personal.

Mr. and Mrs. John T Melligh, of this city, last evening celebrated the Silver Jubilee of their marriage. The reception at their residd- ence was largely attendel. Tur Examiner joins in the congratuiations so plen‘ifully sh »wered upon the happy pair.

The Truro Sun reports: ‘‘Chief Justice Sullivan came over yesterday in the steamer Stanley, via Georgetown and Pictou, and on arriving last evening by train was met by J. J. McGee, Eeq , clerk of the Privy Coun cil, Ottawa, at the Prince of Wales Hotel, where the oath of office was administered. The Chief Justice started on his return to the Island at 10.46 this a. m. and Mr McGee left for Ottawa at 4 p.m. We don’t know if this is the first time that a Governor was sworn in at this historic house, the P. W. H., but it has previously been the home of royaity fora night.”

Haurax, Dec. 27.—Last summer the British warship Emerald took soundings that went to show that Lahave bank was out of its chartered position or that there is another bank to the south of Halifax Official sound ngs just made prove that Lihave bink is correctly placed on the admiralty chart, and that there is a bank in lees than fifty fathoms of water in lat. 43 15 N. to 43.21 N., Jen. 62 50 W., with its western edge on the Lahave bink.

New York, Dec 25.— After a desperate struggle of many months against adversity, the Guion line of steamships have at last succuinbed, and the managers yesterday flicially announced that they were guing out of business.

Underhill, the New York «gent, has leased the com- pany’s dock, 38 North River, foot of King street, and as soon as the businers of the company in this city cin be adjusted, the offices at 35 Broadway will be c'oxed. The White Star Iine will, after Jan. 1, occupy the Guion’s old pier for its freight steamers The collapse of this once reliable and popular line was no surprise to shipping people in this city, as its passenger and freight business has for some time been falling off at a remarkable rate.
