THE TARIFF.

Tuat the Party Press are prejudiced in favor or against the New Tariff, accord- ing as they support or oppose the Govern- ment, is but natural. But itis a remark- able fact that the Non-Political Press—the Commercial Press—the Independent Press are—without asingle exception—all in its favor.

The following able article on ‘‘ The Re- ception of the New Tariff,” we clip fron the Monetary Times, a commercial organ purely independent of politics :—

Outside of Canada, the increase of the tariff is set down as due wholly to a preference for a protective policy. It is proper, therefore, vecasionally to repeat the fact that, in any ease, an increase in the tariff, origimating in revenue requirements, would have had to be made. If the free trade Government had re- mained in power the duty would have been laid upon it, equally with the present, of in eveasing the revenue by two mullions of dol- lars a year. ‘That increase in the public burthens was rendered necessary by a succes- sion of deficits in the revenue. Ali the differ- ence that a theoretical free trade policy could have made would have been to cause a differ- ent arrangement of the increased duties—to lay the burthen upon the left shoulder instead of the right. But the additional weight of two millions would still have had to be borne.

This necessity, wholly apart from any ques- tion of Free Trade or Protection, caused an inevitable addition to the revenue of about nine per cent. T'o tuis cause, then, and not to the color of the new policy, the increase of the tariff is to be attributed. It was the de- clared intention of the Premier, when in op- position, not to raise the duties from motives of policy, but only to re-arrange the tariff. But for another reason—the absolute need of more revenue—-the Government was obliged t2 increase the duties. The increase and the re-arraugement are coincident; but we must not confound what is due to revenue necessi- ties with what results, from the policy of giv- ing the tariff a national complexion.

The tariff of every country is necessarily na- tional; tariffs have to be adapted to the cir- cumstances of each country. Canada, in her new tariff, is doiag nothing new, or strange, or out of the way. sSheis only seeking to do the best for her own interests, on the whole. To some extent, Parliament may be mistaken as to what is best; but its judgment must determine the issue. Weare not legislating in any spirit of has- tility toany other country. Outside criti- cism cannot be expected to be favorable; for it comes from a point of view which is not Canadian. English critics speak from their

oint of view; American from theirs. There is this in common between them—they both object to an increase in our tariff. To them that increase may be an inconvenience ; to Canada it is a necessity. Thisis the differ- ence between us and them. ~ Our point of views is different ; our interests are different. The necessity is laid on us of raising sufficient revenue to meet our obligations ; English and American manufacturers only see in our new tariff increasing difficulty of access to our market, They are not concerned about our revenue or our deficits; but they have no good will to Canadian manufactures which, in pro-

rtion as they prosper, tend to occupy the

ome market, and they view with jealouy an arrangement of the tariff which is avowedly intended to give our manufactures a chance.

The framers and advocates of this tariff may err—we have not failed to point out some par- ticulars in which we think they have erred— but at any rate they are doing what they be- lieve to be the best for Canada, under the cir- cumStaneces. We cannot, therefore, refuse them the sympathy which alegitimate national effort may justly claim. The Scottish Baronet who thinks we ought to be cast off as undutiful children had, before there was any question of the Tilley tariff, advocated an anti-Colonial policy. His recent question in the House of Commons only means that he is now taking the same line that he took before. And Mr, Bright could not really have believed that the tariff-making power of Canada, under the British North American Act, could be cur tailed in deference to a theory or for sake of an interest which is not Canadian. Thecrime of Canada, in the eyes of outside cities, is, that she is pursuing her own interes‘s, by the best lights she possesses; and that she dues not prefer the interests of other couutries be- fore her own.

The News at Ottawa.

By a telegram (which should have reached us in time for Thursday’s issue of Tar Ex- AMINER) it will be seen that Hon. J. C. Pope read the news of the result of the Island elections in the House of Commons amidst great enthusiasm. It will further be seen that Hon. Mr. McKenzie again sneered at the little Island Province, and again insulted the intelligence of its people. But Mr. Brecken was there,—and the ene- mies of the Island Province will not, prob-

ably, try it again.

Missionary

Tue annual Missionary meeting held last evening in the Methodist Church, under the auspices of the young people, was a de- cided success. The spacious building was crowded in every part. The service ol Song, new hymns to time-honored tunes, was marked by a grand enthusiasm. The reports and addresses, all from young men of Methodist Sabbath Schools, were appro- priate, in some cases eloquent, and through- out pervaded by a tine and fervent glow of Missionary feeling. Notwithstanding the severe financial pressure of the times, keen- ly felt in every department of church and State, the collections and contributions from several classes amounted to the very large sum of $771—being far in advance of any previous occasion. The following Hume Mission Hymn was written for the service, we understand,by the pastor of the church, Rev. J. Lathern :—

Canadian wants are pleading, To us for help they call;

This enterprise is needing The sympathy of all.

To earnest ones appealing, The Macedonian ‘‘Come;” Deep moral wrongs revealing,

Asks first for aid at Home.

Speed, then, the message taking To ice-bound Labrador;

The North-West silence breaking — Along Lake Huron’s shore;

By rolling floods and fountains Of famed Saskatchewan;

Beyond the Rocky Meuntains, ‘the bright Pacific gain.

The story of redemption Vaft wide from East to West,

And haste the consummation

Which dawns supremely blest; When all this ransom’d nation

Shall Christ’s Dominion be; And rivers of salvation

Flow on from sea to sea.

OSE A PEE

Tue fuperal of the late Mr. Philip Ernest Robin took place yesterday afternoon from his residence to St. Dunstan’s Cathedral, It was one of the largest processions of the kind that has been seen in Charlottetown for some years.

The Fire Department of the city, with the

'two Steam Fire Engine Companies and the ' Hook & Ladder -

Company, preceded the hearse, and following it was an Immense con-

pa neers of perscns, who, notwithstanding the

very disagreeable weather, gathered to follow to theirlong home the remains of a youn man who was universally esteemed, an whose decease, at the early age of 24 years, is deeply deplored. At the Cathedral the office for the dead was recited by the Rev. Father Boudreault. Mr. Robin caught cold at the fire at Fraser’s corner, and afterwards, in company with some friends, went to St Peter’s Island shooting, whence he returned a Saturday last: He was immediately con- fined to his house, but his illness was not con- sidered serious until the morning of the day on which he died (Wednesday). ‘He leaves a wife and two children to mourn ‘their loss. To them, as well as to his parents (now resi- dent in Ontario), we tender, in common with numerous friends, our warmest sympathy.

CIVIC AFFAIRS.

CREDIT TO WHOM CREDIT IS DUE—THE UTILIZA TION OF CRIMINALS—A REFORMATORY PRO JECTED—THE HOSPITAL SCHEME.

} To the Editor of the Examiner.

Srr, —Hitherto the rule, 1 think, has been for the press generally to put the worst con- struction (uniess, indeed, they fawn on them) on the acts of public men, no matter how con- scientious they may have been in discharging what they thought to be their duty, There- fore it was most cheering to find you according praise to Mayor Dawson (on the occasion of the breaking out of that loathsome disease, sinall-pox, at Alberton), forthe action he took in telegraphing respecting the Quarantine Hospital to the authorities at Ottawa. It cer tainly has a pleasing contrast to the ordinary manner in which the conduct of public men has hitherto been treated by the press. But as it happened on this occasion, had the tele- graph message alluded to not have been sent by him the hospital would, nevertheless, have been at thé service of the citizens; for just after this Island entered into Confederation and the hospital in question had passed to the Dominion, a former Mayor had, with equal forethought, communicated with the authori- ties at Uttawa through Dr. Hobkirk, the Med- ical Officer in charge, and said communication was responded to by placing the said hospital at the disposal cf the city when not in use for quarantine patients, as may be seen in the arcaives of the city. .

‘here are some other matters te which al- lusiun has been recently made in your columns either by yourself or by contributors, that .] desire to remark on :—

ist. ‘the utilizing of the labor of the crim.

inals in jal in making and. repairing ou streets, gutters and sidewalks. 1 have reason to know that the attention of the Executive Government has been several times ‘drawn, to this subject; aud why an order has not been given by the Government to the Hard Labor Commissioners I cannot divine, as lL cannot see that if requires any legislation. ‘ud. Taere is another matter that has been frequently pressed upon the attention of the Government, viz., the separating of the youth- fal prisoners in the jail from old hardened 7 vffenders, so that if possible they might not be schuoled and educated by them, and might eventually be rescued from perdition. ‘Lhe ‘:pportunity of domgso more efficiently will be shortly afforded the Executive, for on the ypening of the new Lunatic Asylum the Ex- ecutive Government are pledged to relinquish the use of the Barracks, now used as a Poor House, and remove the patients to the old Asylum. But as the Builcing is unnecessarily large tor the Poor House—for which it is pre- viously pledgad, is has been thought—as it can be easily divided into two parts, and that one-half migit be-used asa Reformatury ; and, althougi it might be desirable that a greater juantity or area of ground was attached to it tur this double purpose, yet an are of about fourteen acres of land, or more would be quite sutiicient for a trial; and 1 do hope that our Government will, in the ensuing, summer not fail to make a commencement in both these matters.

There is still another matter I desire to ven- tilate. What has become of the hospital scheme or schemes? for I believe there were several. Some years ago the City Council purchased a piece of land at the head of Queen Street ad,oining the Pound, and re- moved the Pound to it, with the view, I un- derstand, of reserving the former site of pound for an Hospita!. It was thought that, a3 the city had furnished the site, and would, with the aid of subscriptions have to foot the cost of support and manayement, that the Local Government might be expected to erect the building, it reserving the rigit to place theic patients from the country Districts, at a small cost. Since that period I think funds have been subscribed; but we are still without an Hospital. Some of the citizens, 1 have heard, are to be blamed forthis, as they threw cold water on the scheme, thinking that it might be used for patients with smail-pox or other contagious diseases. I cannot imagine that any sane man or woman would suppose that it was the intention of any person to put any Hospital at the head of Queen Street for patients afflicted with any dangerous or con- tagious disease.

Letter from one of the Traduced.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir,—I observed a communication in the last issue of the Patriot, written at Pownal and signed ** One who Knows,” in which I am accused of Writing an untruthful account of a political meeting held in Pownal Hall during the late campaign. Now I think I can show the public whether it was *‘ One who Knows” or 1 who attempted to misinform them. :

The vote taken on that occasion was oral, and-I still betieve, as [ believed then. that the meeting was about equally divided, and not seven Grits to one Conservative, as repre- sented by the said correspondent. I now have the permission of the chairman—Mr. A. A. Meore—to say that he believes that, if there was any difference in the voice of the meeting, it was in Mr. Montgomery’s favor.

If your readers will refer to the vote polled here yesterday, they must see that ‘‘One who Knows” either attempted to deceive the electors of Belfast, or that he himself was greatly deeeived,

I have great respect for the writer of the said article, aud would be very sorry to say one word disrespectful of him, but 1 have no intention of allowing him to fasten an untfnth upon me.

If he actually thought that the vote would stand as he represented, I am willing to admit that he has only been mistakens and, know. ing as 1 do that it is not the first time that he has been mistaken about the opinion of the electors in the Belfast District, 1 think it would be a very good guide for him in the future to pursue the opposite course to that which he believes to be the most popular.
