THE RIGHTS OF A WIFE,

‘Before everything else the young woman bas aright to expect from her husband tenderness, sympathy and faith,” says Ruth Ashmore, writing in the June Ladies’ Home Jourval of “What to Expect from a Young Man.” But sometimes, in his eagerness to make all life fair to her. he fancies she is adoll, and not a wonraa. And a doll ie a very selfish toy; it demands careful treatment all the time, and it gives nothing but a pretty appearance in re- turn. It is the foolish wife who ex- pects infallibility in her husband. She forgets that there is a difference between the housewife and the house moth. She should expect from her husband politeness at a!) times, and a certain gentleness that every man, possessing the real instinct of @ man, gives to a woman. But she should not expect from him too much. She has no right whatever to ask of him permis- sion to live a lazy life herself, and to give uo all her days and years to idle thoughts. When the wife can make her husband’s homecoming a joy, his home-staying a oleasure and a delight, and his leaving hone a sorrow, then, and then only, can sne expect a great deal from him.” = = — ED ONG before the discovery of South L America by the Spaniards, the aborigines used and highly valued the Coca Leaf as a medicinal agent, vut it has not becn until recent years that its true value has become universally known and appreciated, Those who have used

THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, MAY 26, 1897

SPECIAL DESPATCHES TO THE EXAMINER.

PARLIAMENT OF CANADA.

About Fifty Amendments to the Tariff,

——e ee

THE PRESERENTIAL CLAUSE.

Important Resolution Snbmitted by Sir Charles Tupper.

THE GOVERNMENT'S ARGUMENTS

Se oe me

Orrawa, May 26.—When Hon. Mr. Fielding moved the House of Commons into Committee he explained the amend- ments which he proposed to make in the tariff as intrcduced by him five weeks ago. The Finance Minister shows his want of confidence in his own resolutions by pro- posing some fifty amendments to them. After recess, the amended resolutions were taken up in detail. When the recip- rocal resolution was reached, Sir Charles Tupper addressed the Committee. He pointed out that while one month ago the Finance Minister almost declared the independence of Canada and showed a lofty scorn of all Imperial treat- ies, he had now so far retreated as to amend his resolution recognizing these treaties.

The new clause reads as follows: The Governor-in-Council may extend the bene- fits of such reciprocal tariff to any country which may be entitled thereto by virtue of any treaty with Her Majesty.

Sir Charles quoted high Imperial author- ity to show that these treaties would give to European countries the same concessioas offered to England. Whatthben was the value of all the boast that the Government had given special advantages to British trade,

The opposition leader went on to argue that the Government had made conces- }sions to Great Britain and European countries which if made to Bri ain alone, at the proper time and in the proper way, would have procured for Uanada a great advantage of preferential trade with the Kmpire. If the Government was prepared to make these reducticns in the tariff, why did not the ministers try to obtain a pre- ferential market for Canadian products in return ?

Hon. Mr. Laurier had, Sir Charles con- tinued, the opportunity of his lifetime; but he had thrown itaway. If this taritf is adopted preferential trade will be inipos- sible. Mr. Chamberlain would be dis- armed. The British Empire Trade League would be paralyzed and the whole move- ment for an imperial league would be set back indefinitely. Sir Charles closed a strong address by proposing the following amendment:

That iv the opinion of this House a re- duction by 25 per cent. of the duties upon the imporis—except wine, malt, liquors, spirits, spirituous Jiquors, liquid medicines, articles containing alcohol, sugar, molas- ses and syrups of all] kiads, the product of the sugar cane or beet root, tobacco, cigars and cigarettes—in favor of any country whose tariffis or may be made on the whole as low as tbat of schedule D, is calculated to imperil the industrial inter- ests of Canada and is in principle opposed to preferential trade of avy kind with the Mother Country.

That on several occasions the Govern- ment and Parliament of Canada have re- quested Her Majesty tu be pleaved to take such steps as might be necessary to ter- minate the effect of the provisions of all treaties which prevent the parliaments of the United Kingdom and the seif-goverr- ing colonies from adopting such tariffs as will be required for the promotion of trade within the Empire, but no decisive action bas been taken in this direction ;

That a desire for preferential trade with the United Kivgdem is now general throughout Canada;

That this House is of the opinion that the government of Canada should cause Her Majesty’s government to be advised that £0 soon as the difficulties in the way are removed, the pariiament of Canada is ready to enter into a preferential trade arrangement with Great Britain and Ire- land.

That thie House cannot consent that any errangement made by tne government of Canada with any country involving serious consideratians of tariff and revenue should become operative without the sanction and ratification of parliament.

Hon. Mr. Davies replied, speaking for an hour. He began by scolding Sir Chas. ‘Tupper and charging him with displaying hostility to the policy of favoring Great Britain. Then he made an argument in favor of two propositions. Frst that, no Imperial commercial treaty was binding on the colonies that were self-governiug in fiscal matters; and second, that even if the Germac and other Treaties were binding on Canada they did not make the prefer- ential clauses of this tariff applicable to the treaty countries,
