_-
question of reciprocity and failed tol
agree. Evidently, from the tone 0f_
the leading. press exponents of the
party, they would like to oppose it
squarely, if they dared. But repre-
sentatives of the people must have
some regard for the wishes of their
constituents and the people want re-
ciprocity. There's the rub.
At present the fate ofthe agree-
ment is uncertain, but should it be
ratified, we do not believe any reple-
sentative of a constituency east of
the Restigouche River who voted
against reciprocity at Ottawa could
be re-elected at the next election. If
any escaped it would be by a very
narrow majority, secured in spite of
his mistake. lf the Conservative par-
ty in Canada desire to extend theirl
long sojourn in the cold shades ofi
Opposition, they can speedily and cer-
tainly attain that end by uniting
their forces in opposing the trade
agreement. -
Yet to this course they are being
urged ,by a number of their newspa-
per organs. The Toronto News, for
instance, denounces the reciprocity
agreement as “an attempt at nation-
al suicide" by Canada, a risky and
uncertain venture, a blow at Canadi-
an prosperity and a danger to this
young nation and to the ancient Em-
pire of which we form a part. This
is partyisrn run mad. In the light
of our commercial and political his-
tory as in the light of common sense
as well such argument and declama-
tion is mere silliness.
For forty years the leaders of both
parties in Canada have believed and
proclaimed that reciprocal trade, till
now unattainable, with our next
neighbor, was a thing greatly to be
desired. Has it become needless,
worthless, ruinous, simply because it
is now within our reach? During
Asia, Australia, South America and
at the ends of the earth, and now
that a greatmarket opens at our
very doors we are called upon to re-
ject the offer!
Both parties in Canada were agreed
when the Dingley and other subse-
quent tariffs were put on at Wash-
ington that the shutting out of Can-
adian farm, forest, fish and .other na-
tural products from the United
States was an unfriendly and most
injurious act, by which Canada suf-
fered severely. And now these wise
Conservative editors would have us
believe that the removal of these du-
ties and the admission of our natur-
al products to the American market
would be a danger and a calamity!
It savors of the silly season when
usually intelligent and rational pub-
lic writers parade such ridiculous ar-
guments. * A
The 'temptation is always before an
Opposition party to.condcmn every-
thing that is proposed by the Gov-
ernment of the day, assuming, as a
matter of course, that the said Gov-
ernment is corrupt, foolish and inca-
pable of propounding anything that
is worthy of acceptance. A prudent
leader of a great party should know
better than yield to such tempts/tion.
All Governments put forward good
measures at times and the reciprocal
trade agreement should be examined
and treated according to its merits.
The reciprocity treaty is based on
common sense, a f-ree exchange with
our nearest and friendly neighbor of
much that we 'have to sell for much
that we have to buy.
The Conservative party is capable
of great mistakes, as the history of
the past ten to twenty years abund-
antly proves. And it may add an-
other, the equivalent of suicide, by
now squarely opposing the reciproci-
ty agreement.
FREE FISH AND F
Somc controversy having arisen as
'to the terms upon which American
fishing vessels will be permitted to
fish in Canadian waters, under ‘the
reciprocity agreement. The Guardian
is asked to state the facts of .the
case. It is strange that any misun-
derstanding could exist among those
who have either read I-Ion. Mr. Field-
ing’s speech or the official correspon-
dence in relation to the agreement.
Hitberto American fishing vessels
only obtained licence to fish in Can-
adian waters on payment of an an-
nual license fee of $1.50 per ton for
each vessel. Thus a vessel of 100
tons would pay $150.
This is changed under the recipro-
city agreement to a payment of $1
per vessel, payable by the commander
of said vessel or the owner. As we
have said, this is made clear alike by
the official correspondence in the case
and by Hon. Mr. F'ielding‘s speech in
the House of Commons on submit-
ting the agreement tothat body. In
their official communication to Secre-
tary Knox, dated at Washington,
January 21, Hon. Messrs Fielding and
Patterson say : »
“12. The Government of Canada
agree that, until otherwise determin-
ed by them, the licenses hitherto is-
sued to United States fishing vessels
under the provisions of Section 3 of
Chapter 47 of the Revised Statutes
of Canada, granting to such vessels
certain privileges on the Atlantic
coast of Canada shall continue to be
issued and that the fee to be paid to
the Government of Canada for such
license by the owner or commander
of any such United States vessel
shall hereafter bc one dollar per an-
num.”
This is clear enough. But if any-
thing more were needed it is suppli-

ed by the answer of Secretarv Knox
to the letter of the Canadian Minis-
ters and bearing the same date. Sec-
retary Knox writes:
“The assurance that you give that
the Dominion Government proposes
to require only a nominal fee from
the fishing vessels of the United Sta-
tes for the privileges in Canadian
waters for which heretofore a charge
of $1.50 per ton for each vessel has
been required is most gratifying.”
For this concession in regard to
fishing privileges in Canadian waters
for American fishing vessels, the Can-
adian Government loses something in
revenue from fishing licenses, while
Canadian fishermen gain a. free mar-
ket for their fish in the United Sta-
tes. The United States will lose a
much larger sum by giving up the
revenue heretofore got from duties
paid on Canadian fish imported to
that country. V
The agreement is a matter of com-
promise on both sides,-a sort of
give and take. American fishing ves-
sels have all along had access to
our waters to catch fish, paying a
license fee of $1.50 per ton yearly,
while the United States imposed al-
most prohibitory duties on our fish.
Under the agreement the license fees
are cut down to the merely nominal
figure of one dollar pcr
vessel and our fish are ad-
mitted to the American market free
of duty. Surely this is a good bar-
gain for our fishermen. They get the
free market practically for nothing
as the small loss in license moneys
falls upon the whole of the people of
Canada and the tlshermen’s share of
such loss will be too trivial to be
considered.

Queens, The intelligent electors there
Province rather than for themselves
alone. Their responsibility is there-
fore proportionately great and should
be exercised with the greatest cart
and deliberation. Appeals to prejud-
ice and passion should be disregard-
ed.
The Quin question is whether a
change of Government is desirable at
the present juncture or not. The
verdict given by the electors will be
closely scanned, whether it be given
by an increased or a reduced major-
ity. or by s reversal of many former
majorities. We sincerely hope and
trust that no improper influences
IHBY be brought to bear on either
side to effect the result in any way
and that the voting may reflect the
honest convictions of an honest, free
and independent electorate.
The people of Magdalen Islands,
our next neighbors to the north, are
sadly isolated during the long cold
winters, with all communication ex-
cept by cable, entirely cut off. We
in ‘Prince Edward Island, though
much better off in that regard, can
heartily sympathise with them. It is
a matter of satisfaction to learn that
the good winter steamer Stanley is
to be sent to the Magdalens shortly
to give them visible connection with
the outside world at this cold and
stormy mid-winter season. The ser-
vice'will be greatly appreciated by
these northern islanders.
There are crimes and criminals of
deepest dye disclosed in the press
from day to day, but in all the re-
cords of the ages it would- be hard
to find anything more fiendish than
the deeds of the Russian Dr. Pant-
chenko. According to his confession
he had murdered more than forty
persons by inoculating them secretly
with the cholera bacillus. And he did
this for hire, his victims being 'a-
mong those of wealth or high sta-
tion. He professes to have received
as much as a quarter of a million
dollars in individual cases. The im-
agination reels at the thought of the
atrocious and more than diabolical
crime of this human monster.
Three years ago the "inside" civil
service,-the officials and clerks at
Ottawa, of whom there are over two
thousand-were ,brought under 'the
control of a Civil Service Commis-
sion. All new appointments and all
promotions are made by this Com-
mission, and all political “pull" and
patronage, the source of grave abuses
in the past, are eliminated so far as
these are concerned. It was a great
and important reform, and it ought
I[to be extended to the outside scr-
lvice as well. This was apparently
the intention of the Government
far delayed. We trust that the Gov-
ernment will take action on this im-
portant matter without further long
delay and reform the outside ser.
vice as they have reformed the in-
side. At present, owing to political
influences there are from time to
time grave abuses both in appoint-
ments and promotions in the outside
service. These will cease when the
proper and obvious remedy is ap-
plied, and this cannot be done 'too
soon.
