( Concluded. ) Nothing could more conclusively demon- strate the utter absurdity of the arguments of the Globe in respect to British interests or British connection. Under a system persist- ently upheld by the Globe itself, and made the issue in the coming elections, the import trade with Britain is falling off year by year, while the United States makes us her abattoir, and forces upon us enormously increasing quanti- ties of refuse manufactures, while purchases from us, consisting only of articles of the first necessity, as will be seen by the following list for 1877, copied from the Globe, are constantly growing less : _ Principal exports to United States from Canada of farm animals and products in 1876-77 :-— Number.

Be this as it may, according to the humiliat- ing inventory which we have copied above— although we may be supposed to have a mo- derate share of the inventive faculity, much of which is just now recklessly wasted by the Grit politicians, and tolerably natural resources—cramped, it is true, our exist- ing trade policy—our astute nei shew manage to supply us with baking somalia: millinery, organs, pianos, hats, caps, bonnets, lumber, leather, flannels, cottons, paper, cabinet fur- niture, &c., &c., to the tune of fourteen mil- lions, including $757,261 for small wares, “notions,” &e., and neither inventive genius, capital, nor natura! resources stand in the wa of our producing the greater part of this for- midable list ourselves. Distance measured by time and the cost of transportation now act as a discriminating charge against English manufactures as res- pects American competition in our market, and he who runs may read that the latter is swiftly and surely supplanting the former therein; but the Globe and its echoes are silent, not- withstanding their overweening solicitude for British interests, and their spasmodic anxiety for the maintenance of British connection, doubtless strengthened by association with the loyal Laflammes, Huntingtons, Letelliers, Lauriers, Millses, and Charltons. But, says the Globe, the policy of the Conservative Party is to “kill the U. S. trade by retaliatory tarifis,” and a formidable list is given of the total exports from each port in Ontario in 1877, nearly all of which, it argues, must go to the United States. The aggregate is $17,725,676. Now, the proportion of our exports to the United States to our exports. in 1877. was as $25,775,245 to$75,875, 345, or about 34 per cent. ame this weuld indicate that the ex portsjto the United States from the ports in Question were but $6,026,729.82. We are assu by our opponents that the price of the staple farm products which form the whole of our exports. to the United States is regulated by the Eng- lish market, and we are also assured that the ‘consumer always pays the * duty?) We cannot see, theretore, how the agricultural in- terest can be etlected if the United States double the duties on farm products, as the Globe suggestively threatens in advance. If our produce is marketed in the United States, the consumer, according to Mills & Co., pays the enhanced duty, It1t is excluded, we have the English market which regulates the price. The gentlemen who use this argument cannot take it up or put it aside to suit their conve- nience, ; To sum up, In spite of the silly assertions of the Grit leaders, the Grit- press, and the fatuous echoes of the small fry hke MeDotgall, of Elgin, and Yc ng of Waterloo, tio one has ever proposed a policy whereby Canidatis to produce everything we consume, or to copsume everything we produce. She possesses:inven- tive genius, capital, and natural resources of soil and climate sufficient to warrant her in claiming and. endeavouring to secure .a share of the advantages now held over her by her active and enterprising neighbour; and those who attempt to ridicule a policy tending to to this result will find that their jocosity is ill-timed and out of place. Her agricultural and other industrial interests are in charge of her statesmen, and they cannot divest them. selves of the grave responsibility of protecting, encouraging, and fostering them by every legitimate ineans, Everything which promotes the prosperity of Canada adds strength and advantage to the Mother Country, w in- terests are no longer supposed to be antagon- istic to those of her colonies, thanks to the change in public sentiment brought about under Conservative rule in Great Britain,not- withstanding the hostility of the Gladgtones and Brights, and other radical leaders—en- dorsed by the (/obe—to the colonial system. - > <—...- ~~ —_— A MELAanchoLy Accipent. —It is-with heartfelt sorrow that the people of New Argyle have heard this morning of the sad and un- timely death of Mr. John T. MecSween, a native of P. E. L, at Altamonta, Orange Co., Fla., U. 8., on the 3d inst., by drowning, while attempting to cross a small lake one-hait mile wide, on horseback. No one having wit- nessed the sad accident, it is su that the horse got entangled in the long _— growing in the lake. The body and the horse were’ found floating in the water two days afterwards. Mr. McSween was about twenty-six years of age, and was the young- est son of the late Allan McSween, of Argyle, Lot 30. He was an exemplary, promis- ing and enterprising young man. He to Florida three years ago, where he and his brother George were engaged in an plantation, from which, in a few years, they expected profitable returns. Sad to relate, his brother was at home visiting hisfriénds on the Island when the painful news arrived; but though alone in a foreign country, so much did he endear himself to all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, that his death cast a gloom over the district in which he resided. We tender his bereaved mother and other rel- atives our sincere sympathy in this trying an¢ painful dispensation,— Patriot. a ¥
