Free Trade vs. National Policy.
A DISTINGUISHED writer receutl) said :—
‘) was a radical Free Trader until | visited lLreland and saw the blighting
effects of compulsory Free Trade there. It has ruined the manufacturing Interests ol Ireland, and made the whole people depen dent on agriculture, and, therefore, pract cally the serfs of the owners of the soil. What that policy has done ireland, where English Free Trade has had full sway, it would do relatively in every country of the world.”
The above statement as to what Eng lish Free Trade has done for lreland is not, we believe, overdrawn. Siill, Grit politicians are constantly telling us that Free Trade is all that is necessary to make Canada great and prosperous Vwhen asked to define what they mean by the great Free Trade panacea, they generally endeavour to evade the ques tion. Some of them, it is true, such as the would-be Minister of Customs, John Charlton, M. P., pronounce iu favour of a uniform 20 per cent. tariff—flour and other prime necessaries of lite, of course, included. Others prefer the old Cart wright tariff, with its tax upon tea and like articles, so levied as to discriminate in favour of the rich and agaiust the in terests of the poor map. Others of them again—aud in this class we have to place the hypercritical Edward Blake himself —frankly declare that Free Trade for us (Canadians) is an utter impossibility.
But, whatever differevce of opinion may prevail amoug Free Trade partizans they all profess to be of one accord with
regard to our Natioval Policy It is a bad thing, they all say, and only caleulated to make the rich man richer and the poor man poorer. The workiagman on the other
side of the Atlantic, however, appear to have a very different opinion from this; otherwise, so many of them would not be found flocking to this side in search of employment, We learn by the official returns for this year that no fewer than 36,920 immigrants arrived in the Do- miuion from January Ist to 30th of April, against 38,132 last year. Of these 16,379 went to the United States, leaving 29,550 as settled in the Do minion against 22,155 last year. These figures show that there are thousands of our fellow-countrymen, principally from among the laboring classes of England, Scotland and Ireland, who have no faith in the cry that Protection makes the “rich richer avd the poor poorer. Many of these immigrants, no doubt, came to Canada and to the United States on the invitation of friends who had preceded them. ‘These friends could speak from personal experience. Many of them had doubtless felt the hardshipand want consequent upon being compelled to subsist on earniogs often less than a shilling a day, aud they are only too glad now to welcome those they left be- hind them to a newer and better country, where the majority of the people at least, believe in fostering home industries, and protecting the interests of the of the working men; and where all can earn an honest days’ wage for an honest days work. In spite of all that Grits may say to the contrary, the National Policy means increased employment for the laboriug classes, and a better market for the produce of the farm. placate cas dill tlttatmnctnienenns
Steeple Cleydon.
Tue writer of the letters signed “Steeple Cleydon” is certainly a bad, bad, very bad man ; but he has, at least, a spark of good in him, or he would not feel regret at the annoyance of a woman. Though there is a pardonable curiosity in such mysterious cases as that of “Steeple Cleydon,” the attempt to connect any particular person with any particular nom de plume is an unpardonable imper- tinence. We regret that the names of a good many innocent persons, among men and women, clergy and laity, bave been bandied about in connection with “Steeple Cleydon.” Steeple is an entity; and having admitted so much, we hope our good citizens will rest satisfied, and try toso improve themselves and) their city, that they may be able to treat Steeple’s criticisms as they do the idle wind

Concessions to Manitoba.
Tue concessions offered by the Gov- ernment of Canada, and refused by the Legislature of Manitoba, are in brief :—
** The Federal Government is to concede to the Local Government all the swamp lands in the Province; to grant 150,000 acres of other lands to form the endowment of a Provincial university ; to assume for the purposes of the 80 cents per head an- nual subsidy a population of $150,000. The capital which this anrual pay ment is to represent is to be charged with advances previously made by the
Federal Government for purely local objects. The Federal Government is also to make an advance of $150,000 to build a
lunatic asylum and other special works. An extra census of the Province is to be taken every five years, half way between the dates of the regular decennial census, and be tween eace quinquennial period an estimate of the population is to be made, for the purpose of arrivicg at the amount of the subsidy payable. The land granted by Par- liament in aid of the Hudson’s Bay Rail- way is to ba madea free gift.”
These concessions seem to be very liberal in view of the fact that the ex- penditure of the Dominton for railway aod immigration purpgses have, for the
most part, gone tb open vp, peuple antl

demands which Sir Jobn and his col- leagues refused were: to extend the

The most of these de mauds the Federal Government could not possibly concede without | guilty of breaches of faith and injuring | this country as a whole; and, it is pro bable, the Manitobans will, when they | the generous con: |

Obituary. MRS, GABRIFL MACDONALD, SOURIS.
The above lady, whose death was re- cently recorded in the usual place in our columns, died very suddenly. She wasa native of Ireland, and was born in Marl- berough, Queen's} County., in the year 1819 ; emigrated to St. John, New Bruns- wick in 1834, came to Charlottetown in 1843, and has resided in Souris for about twenty-five years.
Her own family (named Dawson) an old and respectable Irish family, came out at the same time. Mrs. MacDonald, was a devout Catholic, and attended Maes on the morning of the day on which she died, seemingly in good health. She is highly spoken of as a good neighbor and true friend, an affectionate and devoted mother and wife, and as a worthy woman in every respect.
She had three cons, who are all absent frora home. To her afilicted and bereaved husband and family, every sympathy is tendered. A govd woman has departed this life, and she willbe missed;jbut there is a bright hope, full of consolation, in her latter end. The messenger of death gave little warning ; suddenly her flight was taken, and those who knew her best be- lieve that He who judgeth ‘‘according to the deeds done in the body” has welcomed her with the voice of reward—‘‘Well done, good and faithful servant.”
‘‘Our hearts, our hopes, are ail with thee, Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith triumphant o’er our fears, Are all with Thee—are all with Thee.”

Resolutions of Condolence.
At a special meeting of the Benevolent Irish Society, held on Wednesday, the 4th inst., the following resolutions were unani- mously adopted :—
Whereas, In the death of Owen Winters, this society has been deprived of the presence of one of its most useful members, we deem it but a small tribute of respect to his memory to bear testimony to our appreciation of the deceased.
Resolved, That it is with deep regret we are called upon to lament the death of one whose kindly and genial nature, generous heart and well known activity in the best interests of the seciety made him one of its most valued members.
Resolved, That his family and relations are tendered our most heartfelt sympathy in their sorrows ; and that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to them, entered on the records of the society, and inserted in the Hera/d and EXAMINER newspapers,
