In the Passamaquoddy Customs District, | through which most of the exodus from the Lower Provinces passes, there is a decrease of 531: while at Port Huron, through which the Ontario exodus would pass, the decrease is 61,110 This clearly confirms the statements made | by the Minister of Finance, as to the benefits from the N.

It is alsoz plete answer to the croaking of Cartwright, Biake and others of the Grit Party, , injury inflicted on the country by the N. P., avd clearly shows that only by tne development of her resources and the ex tension of her mannfactures can Canada hope to retain her laboring classes. A decrease of nearly 45,000 in the exodus in| one year is one of the strongest proots of the wisdom of the National Policy. —_—o™ + Legis'ative.

The fact is quite the reverse. If our vessels go to Boston or New York they can always buy the qualiy that is used by our people, superior extra four of Canada, in those markets, and lay it down at their own doors as cheaply as by the St. Lawrence or the Intercolonial Rail- way. Therefore the charge that the 50 cents duty per barrel is a tax on the poor fisherman, falls to the ground. Now, Si, with respect to the mechanic, we find he is cituated, in some respects, like the fisher- The material he wears is all manu- men. factured in this country, and the increased employment furnished him by the inereased prosperity, under the National Policy, puts him in a position to buy more goods from the farmer in a way that he could not do before. The farmer, in his turn, comes in for a share of the prosperity by finding a better home market for his productions. Not only nas hea better home market, but he has reasen to look forward to the time when we shall be in a position to treat with the Americans forreciprocity. We have now inducements to otter the Americans for reciprocity, We can show tiem that they are losing the trade of this country to the tune of millions | of dollars annually; we can show them that their coal is taxed when coming into Canada and, in all these respects, that we have something to offer in exchange for reci- procity which we had not under the policy of our predecessors.

From my general know.edge of Prince Edward Isiand, there never was 3 time, in the that Province, when there was a largei circulation of movey among the farming class than there is at present. The hon. member for Charlotte, in the course of his 1 ; | speech, said he could net see how we could have a home market without an increase of population. He also said, I think, that, having the same number of people to clothe and feed as before, the National Policy could not furnish us with a home market. There is no doubt «i this fact, that 1f a large number of our popna- lation turn. their attention to mann- facturing, and are taken from our farming population, there will be an _ increased market and comsumption of the products of the farm ; and there is no doubt that, if our people get increased labor, and in- creased price for their labor, they will be larger covsumers. Under the present policy there is very little doubt the people eat better food and wear better clothes than they did under the policy of cur prede- cessors. The hon. member fer Richmond said ‘that the people of the Lower Provinces pay more for their cotten goods, woollen goods aud other articles than formerly. I deny that such is the fact. Having a good deal to do with that sort of business, I may say that never in my experience has the price of either cotton or the ordinary wear of woollen goods been sold at lower rates than at present. If people imported these goods under the present Tariff, it is prob- able they wovld have to pay higher prices for them, but we know very well that the weol of our own country is manufactured into the cloth that enters inte general wear, and those articles are now sold at a cheaper ra‘ethan heretofore. The same thing may be said of cottons. Cottons are now nanu- factured in Canada and scld cheaper than if imported. The hon. member for Rich- mond also said that the Tariff operates in favor of the rich man against the poor man. I deny that. The hon. member seems to think that the present Gov- ernment are carrying out the policy of the late Government when the Jatter taxed the tea of the poor man, as againsi the tea used by the rich. The hon. gentle- man went on to say that the present Gov- ernipent taxed everything that was used by the poor fisherman. He scemed to have a great deal of compassicn for the poor fisher- | man; but the poor fisherian is intelligent enough to know that the clothes he wears are manuiactured in this country, and it is entirely useless for the hon. member for Richmond to try and make him beheve he eastern Africa, to his capital, report that the King wasdelighted to see them, sent greetings to America, and asked to have | five missionaries with their families sent to teach his people. The King ia said to be the finest specimen of royalty in Africa. His face is full of intelligence and genuinely pleasant. He is tall and spare, but weil proportioned. _——_—- — THE emigration to the United States duriny the next six months, promises to amuse phenomena! proportions. At New York alone the arrivais during the week just closed amounted to over 8,900, and it hes been claimed that the early spring wil! see the weekly arrivals mount up to 20,000. Tie emigrants are coming eosrlier this year than ever, aud the reccipts for March bid fair to exceed those of April last year.

The hon. gentleman who has jost taken his seat said the policy of the Cpposition was not to tax one party at the expense of another. If they ehould carry out that policy they would have to tex every portion of the people alike, and to do that they would have to put a tax on the necessaries used by the poor fishermen, as weli as those used by other classes. The bea. member fur Richmond also said he would like to see the fishermen’s bouuty secured by Act of Parliament. On that score 1 agree with the hon. gentleman. 1 would like to see the bounty to the fisher men secured by Act of Parliament, because it 18 Just possible, some day or other, the hen. member and his friends may cowe back to power, and, if they do, they will at once, should they follow out their Free Trade policy, remove the boun'y that thi: Government, I am happy to say, has placed at the disposal of the fisher man.

L-» us look for a momeut at this statement. histery cf | his reniarks the other day, took a fling at the eval duties. He said the coal duty was a fallacy; that it does not benefit the coal producers; and that it interferes with our si.ipping coal across the Atlantic. Now lam astonished at such an objection, because if a vessel bas to take ballast across the Atlantic to the St. Lawrence ports she can come to the port of Sydney, get her cargo of coal there, and freight that will pay her for bringing it up to Quebec or Montreal, whatever port on the St. Lawrence she may go to for a return cargo. It is true, possibly, that the duty on coal has not viven us a better hold is the United States markets, but it has placed us in a better position for a remission of the duty on their cval. The hon. gentleman also said that roduction of the mines was | greater in 1873 than in 1881. But he did net give us the returns after 1873, during the time his party was in power, for, during that period the production of the mines teclined until they were at the point of closing. Wien the present Government came into power they began to revive, and the coal the. Lower _Pro- vincss is reaching the Upper Pro- vinces to a greater extent each year. Not only that, but the manufacturers in the | Lower Provinces are yearly increasing their demand for coal. Sir, lam not aston- ished at the hon. gentleman for decrying the coal interests. I remember, not long since, when there was a fleet of vessels be- longing to a@ company represented by the hon. gentleman, that was a credit to any country, and some of which were to be found on the seas in ali parts of the world. That fleet flourished when the coal trade flourished, but when that trade went down the fleet of vessels that came into the har- bor of Arichat went down also, and, so far as I know, they are not likely to come up again until the coal trade takes a turn for the better. The hon. gentleman also seemed to think it was a great hardship that the people of the Lower Provinces had to buy their goods from the people of the Upper Provinces, who, as he said, took noth- ing from them in exchange. Now, Sir, there is no doubt that we buy largely from the people of the Upper Provinces, and 1t is possible that they do not take from us much in exchange. But it matters little to the people of the Lower Provinces so leng as they havea good market for their productions elsewhere, so long as they can fivd an outlet in other countries for the products of their fisheries, their farms and their mines. Not only that, but the policy of the present Government is build- ing up a vast and extended country in the weat which will in the future be one ef our best markets for fish. “Now, Sir, looking at this matter in a disinterested way, I may sny that | believe it isin the best interests of the country that this policy was inaugu- rated. I believe itis doing good to the cenntry generally, building up our manu- factures, assisting our farmers and our mechanics, and [ am happy to see that the Government have fulfilled their promises by taking the fishermen under their pro- tection and affording them a small share of the proeperity that is coming to the people generally. ee being six o’clock the Speaker left the nair, Si <. the coai ] ot -_—_— 2 <-> O--_- WRITTEN FOR THR FX AMINER.
