We have never been unwilling to ay ee enter on negotiations for the bene fit of the but «!/l we can do is te show not desirous of opposing ob- xehange of pro- in any degree, tw» countrics that we are stecles to » mutually freer ducts. Eefore initiating, however romote, the restrictive policy of the States. we remained inactive in this respect, and ready to receive any ol ffers the Government of Washington sht make and it was only when all hope of recipro city had gone that we took a line of our own. Even now, we are as ready to treat as ever; but the initiative does not le with us, and if nething be done towards an accommodation, the fault is not ours. “The commercial relations of the two countries, in the opinion of the Board, are most satisfactory. The falling off of from eighteen io tw ‘enty per cont, in American oti ( to Canada, during the year ending June 30, 1879, is noted ; and it is appar- ently considered additional aggravation of the evil that the imports remain the same, theongh en this point there is room for doubt. In the general tariff the Board does not even desire any radical changes but only ‘ such modific ations as might seem desirable in the interest of the whole coun- try and of its various industries. sis mig ‘The Montreal Gazette remarks that so far as this country is concerned, therefore, it may be a apt ed as a fact that we are prepared to enter into n ‘gociation for & ra- eiprocity in natural products at any time the Unite States honestly desires to bring about a treaty. he Chicago Tribune ot Saturday last in discussing this question expresses the opinion that ‘‘ there is only one basis upon which there is the srnallest hope of e: ablishing reciprocity between the United’ S.ates and Canada, viz., the Zoll- everin system, which shall abolish custom- houses on the border and place Canada up- on the same footing with ey ry State in the Union as e,”’ and adds o ail foreign LPar that complete reciprocity would require of Canada the adoption of substantially the same tariff against other nations which the United States now maintains. There is an insurmountable obstacle in the way ef the acco! uplis ment of this result—that Canada cannot discriminate against the Mother country, and it is an obstacle which Can- adians can overcome only at the sacrifice vf British connection. It is idle, therefore, for the people of - the United States to hug the delusion that trade between the twe countries can be méil as free as between the individual States of the Union. In giving free entry to the products of the United States, we must extend the same privilege to those of the United King- dom, anc while we are prepared te take that ostep as regards natural pro- the policy of this Dominion » the extension of the privilege slude manufactures. A zollverein Canada and the United States would mein free trade en our part with the world an: protection on the part of the United States against ali count except the Domi:ion, a too one-sided arrangsment to receive the approval of our people. We can have reciprocity only in natural pro- ducts, anc we believe that such an arrange- ment would be a mutually be neficial One ; the coal¢* the Lower Provinces, for in- stance, would find a market in the Eastern States, while that of Pennsylvania would seok Ontario ; the lumber ef Ontario would be exported to New York, Massachusetts, &c., and that of the Northwestern States to Manitoba ; we would exchange our bar- ley for Indian corn, and in various othe pro Suggs 3 the interchange would be mutually ductions, is averse so as to in between ries, advantag. ous and desir: able by reason ef the aieatdak ‘al situation of the producing dis- tricts. pon such a basis alone can at re cl- procity treaty be renewed, and it is useless for the people of the United States to delay the -e egot ations in the false hope that there- by they will ultimately obtain a free inter- change of manufactures and articles of every descriptions. oa > 2+ ar «e+ o- A THe Bess River, Colchester Coun ty, Cor eee we dee * 9% eee 1 - responden’ of the Halifax Herald tells the following sad story :—‘‘Some time ago Robert and Agne lost Just prov travelling the tram; nigh’ at 2 the gener MeLaughlan, of sional Neonomy, children by, d liphtheria ous to this sad afili ction. one those Vv grants, who are everywhere or through the country y, stopped over fcLaughlin’s house.

The organ now being built for the Stewart Cathedral at Garden City, L. L, in several respects will be without an equal in the world. It will be placed in tour parts, each placed in different parts of the building, all of which by means of elec- trical connections can be played together by the organist, who will sit at the key-board in the Chancel and use the keys with as little pressure as that of a piano. it will have one hundred and twenty speaking stops, thirty-six more than}) tue great Boston City «Hall organ, and nine more than the monster one in the toyal Albert Hall, London, irrespective of the various mechanical accessories. There will also be an echo organ in the roof which, with the chime of bells in the tower, can also be played upon by the keys in the Chancel. 1t will cost about $40,000. The effect to be produced by such a noble instrument will doubtless be of a most marked and inspiring character, espe- cially when aided by a _ properly- balanced choir. One can imagine what an effect can be produced - when these solemn words ‘* Holy, Holy, Holy” in the Episcopal Church service are being performed! Five hydraulic engines | ¢ will be required to run this grand insiru- ment and triumph of human skill, and underneath the Chancel in the Chapel situ- ated there, isa part of the organ which is arranged so that it can be played in the Chapel as well as from the Chancel.
