A SPEECH FULL OF POINTS

(Halifax Heraid’s Report Contiued.)

Well, they say that we committed a ter rible offence with regard to the question of reciprocity, and that we told falsehoods to {the people of the country about the nego jtiations for reciprocity. There was no

falsehood about it. The public records are | there to prove that our cffor of reciprocity {was luid before Secretary Blaine before the ) dissolution of parliament took place, and we had his promise to meet us and discuss the matter after the 4ch of March. What do you suppose the statement now is? I ask you who are favorable to reciprocity, You were appealed to to distrust us, be- cause it was said we would never go to Washington, and that we did not want re eprocity. When the session came on we heard these very men, day after day and nch «fter night, thundering aginst us for seetning to be too eager about it and for beingsghe first to open negutiations with Meso. It was said by a member of parliament here that I bit my lips when J heard my leaders accused night after night of having been the first to open the nego- tiations. Why, sir, we sat there smil ing to hear the men who had called us ene- mies of rec:procity asking the house ot commons to condemn us for beiug tvo exger about it. The statement is now made that Sir Charles Tupper (applause) has admitted that we were the first to open these nego- tiations. Lam not much concerned about that, for

I AM NOT ASHAMED THAT WE SHOULD OPEN NEGOTIATIONS ANYWHERE

when I believe that they can be made to result in goud for the country. But this is Munatter that does not depend upon Sir Charles Tupper’s admission. The records |are there, and prove that when Mr. Blaine ;was negotiating for a treaty with New- foundland. we demanded that Canada should have an equsl share in the bene- fits of that treaty, if thera were any. Me. Biaine proposed to let Canads stand aside until the treaty with Newfoundiand was finished, and said that he was quite willing tu make a hberal treaty with Canada. Was not that the moment fur us to say, ‘‘we are willing to enter into a treaty with you—

——AND——. j here are the terms wo offer you?” and that

,is what we did. But we were not willing

if such a thing occurred, and yet the meu op posed to us have no prouder name to give their party than when thev declare that they are “British liberals.” I declare to you my be ief that the reasons which have influenced the delav in the negotiations are the desire on the part of the liberal party to make greater con- cessing to the United States and the an nouncement they have made everywhere that

THIS COUNTRY IS PERISHING FOR THE WANT OF RECIPROCITY

with the United States. If there is a man in tais building who doubts my word I will give inother authority for the statement—that of Sir Richard Cartwright himself. At a time when he was charged with the resp onsibilities of office, and when he knew the difference be tweea conducting negotiations with a foreiga power and hampering the persons who are couduciiag such negotiatioas, he made‘ this statement :

‘There is nothing better calculated to pre-

it, It would induce them to believe that th-y had the power to drive us to their own terms ” At the same time his organ said: ‘The true attitave in reference to the states is that which the reform party has always taken We can*live without your trade, we are flourishing under our present tariff arrange- ment We are not wi.ling to annex our selves and are not anxious for any change, bat we are willing to make a fair reciprocity treaty that will benefit both conntries.” Turis is the attitude which we have taken and it is, | believe, because the refurm party have taken the opposite stand that the negotia- ‘ions have been delayed, just as Sir Richard Cartwright and the Globe said they would be.

LEPTERS TO THE EDITOR

Liquor Statistics.

Sir,—In an editorial on the above sub- j ctin last Friday’s Weexty Examiner, ihe amount of liquor imported to Unarlotte- town on each of the last six years is given, and the amounts consumed in the first tive years compared with the last. On making this eomparison the writer comes to the conclusion that **the liquor evil is net on the increase in Charl ttetown” since the abrogation of ths Scott Act, —a conclusion which, to us, seems in no way warranted by the data.

Just look at the figures. In 1886, when the Seott Act just began its beneficent sway, 64,503 gai.ons were imported. The next year the operation of the Act reduced the quantity to 33,294 gallons; and in

of the Scott Act was a vigorous and thorough enforcement of the law. The danger of allowing a law to remain a dead letter on the statute books, cannot be overstated; the fact that it may be broken with impunity creates a disrespect for al! other law, and is thus far-reaching in ite consequence. Where the people are the mikers of the law it is reasonable to expect that the people should respeot the law, and that they also should enforce it. In view of these facts, it is evident that not only should every temperance worker, but every temperance friend of law and order be desirous of seeing the majesty of the law upheld That strong moral force behind the Sestt Act, the necessity of which Tur EXAMINER has so frequently pointed out, is tound at Montague in the W.C T. U., and to the laudable efforts of that body is largely duet he *‘sobriet yand good behaviour”

alluded to in a late issue of Tae Exawinern

vent the bringing about of reciprocity than to by a correspoudent over thes misnomer of tell the Americans that we cannot live without; «

Progress’ The communication referred to, acowardly and off-nsive attack on some of our most respected residents, when strip- ped of its abuse and personalities. contains nothing in the way of facts or argument, but sffurds a striking illustration of the quibbling and contortion which ia thesole resort of the sympathisers of the rum inter- est. When the Scott Act 1s not mgorously enforeed the law is the object of their attack, and with holy horror they tell us that ‘‘drunkenness is on the increase and liquor is sold m refreely than ever.” Where the law is upheld its eupporters are assailed with every term of opprobium and abuse,

“They “iggle in and wiggle out,

Leaving the hunter still in doubt, Whether the snake that made the track Was going in or coming back,”

But not less insulting than the terms applied to a respectable body of women is the allusion made to the farmers of the surrounding country, who we are told, have largely transferred their trade to other places in consequence of being ** watched through windows and from street corners.” The interence to be drawn from this statement that farmers are the princi- pal frequenters of illicit groggeries is an unquilihed insult to a respectable class of men.

The women of this village, ia taking upon

themselves the unpleasant duty of enforcing

the Scott Aet. have e srned for themselves

the gratitude aud respect of all right thinking persons, and by their uboselfish efforts have

put to shame thore who shewld have been foremost in the work. The ravings of **Progress” (°), is simply a public admission

of defeat on the part of the rum element.

Notwithstanding the wail about loss of

trade, from a sore head wh» would evidently a prefer to see the whole community a ecene of
