He } said :— * The tie which mother land is Canada's with pride that I say it, t yet Canada is free.

[t is manifest to me that the interests of my country are identical with the interests of the United States.” The language of Mr. Laurier regarding the attitude of Canadians towards the war of the rebellion is not true, and even if it were true ao good purpose could be served by raising a qne-tion which does not belong to this generation. I say un- hesitatingly that, apart from the conpas- sion which all onlookers cannot heip feel- ing for the nndermost dog in the fight, the sympathy of a Jarge majority of f anadiane was strongly on the side of the Federal Government during the war of the rebe!- tion. I cannot understand what good pur- pose Mr. Laurier could hope to serve by recalling the question of Canadian sympa- thy for either side in the civil war. L ke wise people, the Americans have long since ceased to shake the bloody shirt at each other, and I am mistaken if they would form a very high opinion of the Canadian who asked them to shake it against Canada. The declaration which Mr. Laurier made in Bosten, and one which I have heard him utter in Charlottetown, viz., that should the time come when it would be necessary for him to decide between Cana- da and Great Britain, then he would take the aide of Canada. I think this declara tin is avery silly one, and in-tead of beinz proclaimed from a hundred platforms with evident delight, might be re-erved | nati! the painful day for every son of Canada, whén the final choice wouid of necessity be made, a day which we all hope aud beleve will nevercome. It would be much more creditable for Mr. Laurier to show his zeal for the interests of Canada when they clash with those of the United States. Within the past few months the Opposi- tion press have not failed to remind us that the revenue of reveue of Canada is falling, and that a deficit on the transac tions of the present year is certain to oc- cur. Almost every country in the world has a deficit in either the pre-ent or the past year, and it would, indeed, be a won- derful thing if Canada should aloue, of al} countries, wholly escape the effects of the depression which has proved so disastrous all over the civilized world. It sp aks volumes, however, for the solvency of our country andits Government that Mr. Foe- ter has been able to negotiate the loan of this year on such highly alvantagco 1 term. EXPANSION OF AGRICULTURE. Notwithstanding the low prices which prevail for agricultural products and the census showing that there has been no ap- sant in | from any country which lays an export preciable increase in our rural population, the wonderful increase in the value of our agricu'tural production is almost remark- able. In 1878 our exports of agricultural products only amounted in value to $32,- 028,000, while in 1893 the same products exported from Canada reached a value of €53,768,000, or nearly $22,000,000 of an increase in the fourteen years. When we remember that we have now about 800,000 more of arban or city population to feed than we had in 187s, we are enabled io form some idea of how enormously the agrici }turs) products of Canada have increased. The $22,000,000 increase in the value of our exports of agricultural products represents a much larger increase in the v slume of that trade, as the price of wheat and barley were pearly double in L878 what they are now, and other products are proportion- ately cheaper. lt is also most interesting to inquire where our surplus of agricultural products | have mainly gone in these years. lo the United States we sent | In 1878 $15,144,419. In 1893 $8,083,955. l'o Great Britain we sent In 1878 $19,000,000. In 1893 42,500,000. 000 in our sales of agricultural products to the United States and an increase of $23,500,000 in our sales of the preducts of the farm to Great Britain in that per- ce | There has been a falling of over $5 ,000- | od of 24 vear- * WORKS AND WINTER COMMI NICATION, Some gentlemen have been rood enough | to refer in very complimentary terms to & speech of mine in the Senate last session | on the claims of Prince sdward Island re | zarding public works and winter commun- lication. It must always be remembered that in presenting the claima of our Ta | land at Ottawa, the main difficulty is the | ~mallness of the Province, and our case | is prejudice i from the fact that the ten- lency ot small places is to look at things from a sectional point of view. I took vreat pains to satisfy the House that we are not animated by any sectional feeling n advocating the just claims of Prince Wiward I-land. We have no fault to find, buton the contrarv are proud of what has beer done by the Government of Canadain building oreat railways and canals, bring- ng every part of this vast country to gether in the bonds of commercial cem- munication. We have borne our share of the expenditure necessary to accom- plish all this and we do not complain, but are proud of the success that has crowned All we ask is these great enterprises. that Prince Edward shall be treated in ~ame broad, liberal manner. Speaking as [ did on that question, not as a party man but as a Prince Edward Islander, I wae careful not to treat either political party as hostile tous. I had many opportun- ities of knowing the kindly feeling that vreat statesman, Sir John Macdonald, en- tertained for our Islan', and I took es- pecial pains te show that he had in draft- in subsequent the ing the terms of union and = in acts admitted the justness of princip‘e for which we are Gentlemen, when I finished that speech I had the satisfact:on of knowing that I had pretty fully presented the claims of my own Province without antagonizing either party in polities, : any other Province, and without, I believe, antagonizipg a single member of the Chamber of which 1 haye the honor to be a member. And I have also the satisfac- tio: of knuwing that I suececded in modi- fving, if pot, indeed, in changing, the view~ of many of our leading men on the claims and contentions of Prince Edward [-land, and that J have received credit for putting on record, I may say, for the firet time an historica! resume of the position «f Prince Edward [sland towards the Coen- federation, which cannot fail to facilitate future discussions and inquiries. The Daily Patriot of Saturday la-t in a leading article, stated that I had made ex- agzerations in that speech which will in- jure the Province. In reply to this, [ will quote the following words from @ letter which the R ght Hon. Sir John Thomp-on was kind enough to address to me regard- ing that apeech, a shert time after its de- He said : ‘I must congratulate you sincerely on the care and ability with which everything is ar- ringed and the fairness which characterises the ’ ul present on behalf of your Province.’ livery. case ¥ Gentlemen, you have made a very great mistake, in fact an unpardonable mistake, in tendering me this complimentary banquet without in the first place consalt- ing my amiable friend, the Hon. David Laird, and I earnestly hope that his friends will extend some consolation in the pres- ent disturbed state of his mind. The article of Saturday may be very well para- phrased in the language of the eldest son in Scripture who said: “Lo, do I not serve you for these many years and you have not giyen me even akid tomake merry with my friends.” (Laughter.) It will be remembered, geutlemen, re yarding the proposed tunnel under the Straits of Northumberlan!, I took thi- geovnd. The undertaking is a very great one. The estimates of its probable co-t, that is, fora tunnel of reasonable dimen- sions, are not in my opinion in exceas of of what Canada might be reasonably ex- pected to oceur, but he would be no friend of Prince Edward Island who would d- mand that the Government would blindly rush into the undertaking without the fullest investigation as to its entire prac- ticability, and we are not so unreasonable ux to expect that the tunnel should come into existence like Aladdin’s palace. On the contrary, we know that, no matter how favorable the results of preliminary investigations may be, it will be many lung vears before the tunnel can be ac- complished. It would take many years, supposing everything went well, to com- plete the work, after actual excavation be- van on both sides of the Straits. In view, then, of the long delay which must elap-e Lefure the Tunnel can he completed; in view of the ancertainty which, it must be almitted, still exists regarding its feasib:l- ty; and in view of the large balance i which is due the Island in order to recoup us fur the enormous expenditures on the railways and canals of the Provinee. I de- manded in the Senate that the Govern- ment should construct at once branch railways in this Province, which are much needed to develop its resources. Speaking of the demand of the southern part of the Province, I said : “There isa very large section of Prince Edward Island extending from Charlottetown what is known [larhor district, { country that is way by the southward thro yh as the Belfast an abo.t 55 miles of not benefited or » acitt ‘ by the P. E. Isiand Kailway. f think Tam within the bounds of truth when I say that there is nota better tract of country in the Dominion of Canada than that district.

Belfast and Murray Harbor were as well contending. } withont antagonizing | entitled to railway facilities as other parts of Prince Edward I+land and they should have got them when branches were built to Tignish and Souris, and they would have got justice at that time if their repre- sentatives proved true to their interests. As long as 1 have a voice or an influence in the affairs of our country in Federal af- fairs that voice and that influence shall be used in the advocacy of railway extension in our Province, not only southward but in other places as well, and I am greatly mistaken if the people of the Island will’be so blinded by party cries as to withhold their support from the government which gives them justice, and to continue to sup- rtmen who sacrificed the interests of important sections of the Province, when they had the power in their hands, and who are still allied to a_ party in Federal politics who profess to be opposed to the principle of building Provincial or local railways. Regarding the southern railway, I advo cate a road from the harbor of Charlotte town tothe harbor of Murray Harbor, connected with the existing branch from Mount Stewart to Georgetown at some point to be settled on, and touching at or near Montague Bridge. And I may say further, that I am strongly opposed to a plan advocated by Mr. Davies in the Com- mons for the ‘onstruction of the cross line only, baving its terminus near Wood Islands. Such a line would be of no bene- fit to the Belfast and Murray Harbor die- tricts. In fact the very proposition of it was insulting and injurious, and showed plainly that its propounder had given the question no careful consideration. . Gentlemen, believing as we do in the principles of the Liberal-Conservative party, it is no small gratification to us that that party has been during Fo many years austained in power, thus enabling it to carry out 80 many great and beneficial measures. And we have to-day the eet satisfaction of knowing that the political horizon is lesa clouded than at any former period approaghing an appeal to the country. The Liberal Con- servative party ia strong In its trade policy, strong in ite railway policy, strong in the principles of a wide toleration, ani justice to all classes and creeds. and strong in the possession of able patrio- tic and honest men whom we are proud to recognize as our leaders, aud under whose leadership we look for great things for Canada in the years that are to come. (Cheers and applause.) Senator Prowse, responding -to the Sen- ate and House of Commons, referred in complimentary terms to the able, eloquent and convinoing speech of the gue-t of the evering. He could not let the opportun- ity pass to express his gratification and bear his testimony to the able, honest aud straightforward conduct of Hon. Mr. Fei- Some persons had preposed to guson. abolish the Senate. If the honest an] prudent measures of the Gover.sment were thwarted by the Senate, as such mea- sures as the late Provincial Government were thwarted by the Legislative Council of this Province, then the Senate might be abolished. But he thought that so long a it contained men such a+ Senator Fergu- eon and performed its constitutional func tion of corcecting treaty legislation, it ought to be retained. He thought, too, that, in view of the experience of this Province, it would be highly injudicious to render the Legislative Council elective.

The sanate is a useful instrument of legislation under the constitution, and a fundamental! mistake would be made if it were abol- ished. John McLeaa E q. M. P., said thas he had great pleasure in responding for the House of Commons. He had gone into politics to support ihe Liberal Conservative Party in the Local Legislature, and he hai been sent to Parliament as the Liberal Conservative Tepre-entative of K County. The Lberal Conservative Policy had been succeseful in encouraging the farming, fishimg, manufacturing and mer- eintile interests of the country and _ its eredit now stands so high in the markets of the world that when two and a-half millions of three per cent® were a short time age offered in the London market tenders for eleven millions were sent in. George R. Montgomery was a ked to re- spond to the toa-t of His Honor the L eut.- Governor. In doing so he reviewed the career of Hon George Howlan in an al- mirable speech, in whigh he referred to | hisactions aa a son, a hrother, a citizen, a representative in the Provincial Legisla ture, a member of the Senate and fisally as J,ieutenant-Governor; anl said that he was proud to assist in doing honor to tie Hon. Senator Ferguson, whom he hoped, and confidently expected, ere long, to be able to address as the Honorable, the Minister of Agrigulture. (App'ause ) The Legislature of P. E. Is:and was re- sponded to by Hon. J.O. Arsenault in a pointed and feii itous style. He was delighted to be present to help to du honor to the gue-t of the evening. He had known Hon, Senator.

He always did his work in the House, alway- perfurmed his departmental work prompt- iy, then went home and did his work, re- turning the next day wuch earlier than | This had been his record in his colleague. the past, and pow, when transferred to a higher sphere, he had shown by his speeches in Parliament that he was ever active and possessed of remarkable ability.

(Applause.) The toast of the Agricultural and Dairy- ing interests of the Provine was enthus- | jastically honored. Hon. William €Campbell was the first on the list to respond. It gave him great pleasure, he said, to attend to do honor to an old friend and former colleague. He had always admired Mr. Fergu-on’s great abilit'e-, and he was in hearty accord with the remark+ of his old friend and late colleague, Mr. Arsenault, and he, too, hoped the day was not far when Mr. Ferguson would fur the conspicuous services he bad r:ndered. He s; ose of the gratifying pro gress made in the condition of the farmers of this Province. He rememberad when our farmers and their families went to church in their carts.

They The districts of | :aised the tariff from 15 to 174 per cent. on an average. The present Government had distant . be rewarded | Mr. J. Heber Haslam also responded in excellent style to this toast, He felt that the guest of the evening well deserved the honor beetowed upon him. He was an honor to the farmers of this country, and in honoring him farmers and others honor themselves. He had great faith in the agricultural and dairying resources of this Province. He had traversed every pro vince of the Duminion, and a great deal of the United states, and was more convinc- ed than ever that this Province was, in some respects, the equal of any of them On his way to the World’s Pair he had seen immense crowds of the agriculturists of the United States going there also, ap- aring at their beet, we may be sure; but = was satisfied that the farmers and far- mers’ wives of P. E. [sland assembled at one of our exhibition would compare more than favorably with any he had seen. In Hon. Senator Ferguson we have a pro- gressive, practical farmer, and it must be a great gratification to him to look around the board and note the standing of the men who had assembled to do bim honor. Mr. McNeill made a capital speech, replete with facts and sound _ logic. He referred to the area ard boundless re- sources of Canada, its rapid progress under Liberal-Conservative rule, and the im- portance of retaining a fiscal system which in such a short time had done so much to develop its resources. England bad become great and powerful under Pro- tection, and ne other country could be- come so that did not foster its industrial interesta, The Grit party had not at- tempted to »-how what they intended to do The taritf reformers of the United States had specified every article on which they proposed to legislate; the grits had not named one. He was giad to juin in deing honor to Senator Ferguson. He had fought his battles well; and he endorsed the many tributes that had been paid to him. (Continued applause) The toast to the Clergy was honored with great enthusiasm, the Rev. Mr. Corey responding first ic a happy speech, which elicited yreat applause. The moral and material interests of the people and the clergy were so closely identitied that he did not see anything improper in Clergymen uniting with the laymen in doing honor te a pub- lic man of worth, such as Senator Fergu- son. He had felt the first thrill of Cana- dian loyalty on viewing the Parliament buildings at Ottawa. He had also learned there from the librarian that Senator Fer- guson was one of the mo-t diligent of the people’s representatives. He said the com- mittee had done honor to the Clergy, and justice to their guests, anl credit to the banqgnet, by drinking the toasts in spark. ling cold water. Rev. A. E. Burke was warmly received. He had always been a Liberal Conserva- tive. He believed in that party because*he saw that it had built up the couutry. This he had been able to learn for himself while making an excursion through the Domin- lion. He felt happy to join with those who | had assembled to do honor to Senator Fer- guson, Who was an exemplary man in pri | vate life and a libera!-minded, consistent, ; public man. As astatesman he was a!- ways identified with the progressive -pirit of the age, and he hoped this Provine* would sueceel in placing him in a seat in the Dominion Cabinet, as le would be able to do a great deal to pro- nfote the welfare of the country in general and this Province in particular. Senator Ferguson had been roundly abused in his time, but this only reminded him of what the late Sir John Macdonald said, yiz, that if you want to find the best apple tree always goto the one wilh the most stones under it. The Rev. gentleman | concluded his remarks amid loud ap- plause. Messrs. McQuarrie, Stewart and Mellish responded for the Bench and Bar; Lieut.- | Col. Moore for the Mil:t a Messrs. Cotton, ' McCourt, Mclzaac, Brennan and Arthur Mellish for the Press, and Measrs. Mothersiil ani J. S. McDonald for the Ladies. After the regular toasts had been duly honored, a number of volunteer toa-ts were drunk. Our host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Davies, was proposed by D. O’M.

The unceasing struggle for supremacy in almost every line of trade undoubtedly has a tendency to make dealers resort to questionable methods of business. Take, for instance, a line of high-class dress goods like Priestley’=, which has been brought to a state of perfection and has attained p»pularity everywhere; as soon as the ladies insist upon having these goods and no others, it is reported that some merchants have even taken the “ Varnish- ed Board,” Priestley’s Trale Mark out of the Genuine Priestley’s Black Dress Goods or Cravennettes, and wrapped -in- ferior goods upon it, for the purpo-e of de- ceiving the customer. Fortunately, how- ever, an extra precaution was adopted by the manufacturers in stamping the name “ Priestley’s ” and the length on every five yards, so that ladies who want these goods can be sure they are getting them. —_e. | A few bariels of choice No. 1 and 2 vravenstein apples.
