(Front the Beston Travelk r% i i . : ° ; The following correspondence on an im- ; portant phase of the question of Canadian time :-—~ Boston, Oct. 13th, 1877. fo the Right Hon. William Ewart Giladston: ; Hawarden, England. Siz,—The question of reciprocal free trade between the United States and Can- ada excites some interest here. In connec- tion with the discussion the question has been raised as to whether in the event of negotiations being entered into with the eb- ject of a Reciprocity Treaty, England would insist that Canatla should adinit English manitfactures on the same terms as she might agree to extend to American goods of the same class. In other words, would the Canadians be permitted, under. treaty, to give advantages to Americans which were withheld from their British fellow-subjects. The question, though apparently a side issue Of not much importance from an Am- erican standpoint, has really a great deal to do with deciding the practicability of a com- prehensive treaty. Pardon, therefore, the, liberty I take in asking what is the tradi- tional policy of England in relation to the matter ! and whether the present Govern- ment have made any decisive statement as to their course in such an event?! for, if I mistake not, the question did come up for consideration a few years ago, when a treaty vas under discussion. The fact that the business men and others interested, wish to obtain some de- finite information on a point little under- stood in this country, before the matter comes up during the approaching session of Congress, must be my apology for troubling you. Very respectfully, PHILLIPS THOMPSON. ENNISKERRY, Oct. 30. Phillips Thompson, Esq., Boston: , Str,—The question you put is one of much difficulty, and Iam unable to give you an enswer which could or ought to guide you or others. No other country except this would, however, I think, regard it as an open one, and in this country, 1 think, the decision would depend mainly on the views and leanings of the Coloni ini sbi A fie aay. Yours very faithful, &e., ‘**The practibility of a Treaty which shall include the principal branches of manufac- ture depends upon the position taken by the British Government on this question. The revenues of Canada being mainly de- rived from import duties levied on British and American goods, a reciprocal Free Trade with us, followed as tt propably would be by compulsory Free Trade with Great Britain, would leave her practically without resources in the face of an increasing debt and yearly expenditure. Mr. Gladstone's answer is judiciously non-commital, but reading between the lines it is plain that he regards a provision for the free admission of English manufactures into Canada as a natural corollary toa treaty. The present Government, at the time when negotiations were pending in 1874, positively annownced that no treaty would be sanctioned which should place English exporters ata disad- vantage as compared with Americans, and there is no reason to suppose that they have changed their minds on the subject. The difficulties of the position to which Mr. Gladstone alludes, arise from the Colonial dependence of Canada, and appear at pre- sent insuperable obstacles to the consuin- mation of such a Treaty of Reciprocity a: vould otherwise be to the advantage of both countries. It is to be feared that so long as the present relations between Eng- land and Canada subsist, the attempt to ignis fatuus, ——— ~~ se Gems of Thought.

Deceit has the effect of impoverishing, as well as to enriching men ; the prodigal be- comes poor by pretending to be richer than he really is, while seeming poverty is the very making of a miser. Talents, without the accompaniment of religion, are but* fatal presents ; they not only add strength to the vices of the indi- vidual, but what is worse, they render them more conspicuous to the world. It is the temper of a blade that must be the proof of a good sword, and not the gilding of the hilt or the richness of the scabbard ; so it is not his grandeur and possessions that make a man considerable, but his intrinsic merit.

At Riurray Harbor, says a correspondent of the Advertiser, we have the firm of Davies & McFayden, doing a large busiaess in the fishery line, and lobster canning in partienlar ; they have a large establishment at ** Beech Point” of which, I understand Mr. McFayden has purchased his partner's interest, and intends carrying on the ean- ning department on a much larger scale next year on his’ nwn account. He has also a factory in course of erection at Cape Sharp, which he intends to have running in full blast early next scason; a building torty-live feet by twenty and two stories in height, is already nearly completed, which with an additional one, some sixty feet long which he will haye up early in the spring, will make quite a nice little es- tablishment. In those two factories, in connection with his fishery, farm, and brick yard, he will give remunerative employment to a large number of men and women, next season, thereby opening up, paying situ- ations for a large number of people who would otherwise be idle a great part of their time. We will now move on to the White Sands, where we have our esteemed friend, John Cairns, Esq. (who has been for several] ‘and well § n for his many gentlemanly qualities), o).cning up a large canning estab- lishment of his own, having one large build- ing already up and busy constructing an- other, which, when completed, will be about one hundred and forty feet long. Another step and we are at Little Sands, where Duncan Munn, Esq., has been run- ning a small factory for several years past, and will recommence next spring with largely increased facilities for carrying on a remunerative business.
