The States and Reciprocity

Iv is announced that Mr. notified the diplomatic representatives in : suntries which

Washington of the several 2 have not already made reciprocity treaties with the United States thatthe President

loth

reciprocily

will issuc a provlamati-n on the March which will suspenl the section of the McKinley tariff permitting the free admission of their sugar, molasses, coffee, tea and hides, and require that duty sliall be paid on account of those articles. The are said to be Austria-Hungary, Honduras, Hayti, Spain, (for Philippine Is) snds), the Venezuela,

affected Nicaragua,

countries

United States of Colombia and

It is maintained by the press of the United States that in all these countries tariff duties are kept upon American = agri

cultural and other products so unequal and unreasonable that the President is not jus- tified in giving to them the benefit of the into the The implied demand in

free importation the States of

articles named } +} ; f the forthcoming proclamation is therefore not one of advantage seeking, but of insist- ing on equalizing the trade reiations.

There will probably be an effort on the

part of all these countries to secure reci- procal treaty agreements before the 15h of United States

Marc h, t market f The view of

1ereby saving the r their products. recipr city taken by United States poli- ticians is set forth in the following remarks

f Congressman Burrows. In the course

of a recent speech that gentleman said :—

“Already reciprocal treaties have been con- summated with five nations and nine colonies, while at this hour we are negotiating agree- ments cf reciprocity with six other nations. Reciprocity strikes down no American in- dustry, crippies no American enterprises Reciprocity is not antagonistic to protection. Protection guards the home market; recipro city reaches out to the foreign markets. Protection establishes, builds up and main. tains American industiies; reciprocity opens a new outlet for the surplas prodncts of our farms and factories. Protection gives em ployment to American labor; reciprocity enlarges the dereand for the fruits of that labor, thereby insuring uninterrupted employ- ment. In a word, protection is defence, reciprocity is conquest. There is, therefore, no abandonment of the doctrine of pro‘ection, but rather an increased demand for its main tenance. Under the policy of protection and reciprocity, coupled with that other policy, now happily inaugurated, of building up our merchant marine, and establishing swift and certain mail communication with the South American republics, there will be open to uga new market for the surplus products of our farms and factories We shall relight the seas of the globe with the stars of ouc flig, and the American Republic will hold its place in the van of marching empire.”

The reason the United States are in no hurry to make a treaty of reciprocity with Canada, is found in the fact that Canada is not yet ready for When we shall have put Laurierand Mercier, Cart- wright and Farrer into power and office— then the United States will begin to nego-

ss

” cong vest.

tiate such a treaty of reciprocity as will in- volve the ‘* conquest” of Canada. eS 2 Sa SS ee a Notes and Comments.

-—-The Congress of the United States is considering the matter of the Nicaragua canal, the probability being that the big Republic will breathe new life into the great enterprise.

—Attention is directed tu the advertise- ment of Hon. D. Ferguson in another col- umn A number of our best tarmers have in past years tested the manures which Mr. Ferguson imports, with satisfactory results. lt is admitted that when prudently and judiciously applied these manures are pro- titable

—J]t seems not improbable that the death of the Khedive will have far reaching ef- fects. France has always been jealous of the English occupation of Eeypt. She now prop ses to appeal to the Powers for a decision that England shall be asked to withdraw fromthat country. What the result will be, is, of course, enigmatieal. In any case it is possible that England will continue her occupation of Egypt until she has good reason to believe that

‘Egyptian finances and effsirs can be well

managed without her aid.

—The Department of Agriculture in the United States estimate last year's out-turn of the corn crop of that country at 2,060,- 000,000 bushels. That is what has brought down the price of oats. Henry Clews, writing from New York remarks that ‘coincident with our unprecedented crops (the wheat crop being now officially report- ed at 612,000,000 bushels), there is a general deficiency in Europe, and the Russian export is now wholly cut off, while Russia herself may have to import. It is therefore quite possible that our year's export of wheat and flour may reach 200,000,000 bushels,jand our cornshipments may show a similar ratio of increase.”

| last evening.

TueRE was much to commend, little to! find fault with, in the Masonic concert cf Indeed, whenever Erle and Vinnicombe work together, the result is

“harmony, aweet harmony.’ We must again cougratalata Mr. Vinnicombe and the members of his orchestra. They make

up decidedly the most powerful and effee- tive combinatien for inscrumental music that this city ever possessed. ‘heir rendi- tions of last evening were altogether de- lightful, though the sweetest and smoothest was, in our opinion, “Beautiful May.” We | note that in the absence of Miss Lowis, | who resigned in view of an important | event, Mr. W. A. F. Scott has been ap |

pointed pianist fur the orchestra. The} glees by twenty picked Voices | ad uae . under Mr. Easrle’s direction, were! capital in point nut only of |

harmony but of interpretation. Woil all} the parts were nicely modulated, the, spirit and feeling in the music and words

were, we think, almost fully brought out | to the great pleasure of every music lover | in th» siidience. The duets by Mus Karle | and Me. Fred Davies were alco very goud |

indeed, the two voices blending beautifully. | With Miss Karle’s excellencies we are all | familiar. But many were unprepaced to} find in Mr. Davies a tenor of unusually } tine quality—sweet, powerful, rich, syin- | pathetic, and with«l under peifect control. |

Mr. A. L, Rice of Summerside, was, per- | the hearty and genuine applause

|

full of that magnetic quiity which at |

Beat-Racing in January.

Qoire a number of spectators assembled on Connolly’s Wharf yesterday afternoon to witness the four-oared boat race which took place between the South End and Hillsborough Boating Clubs. Mr. Michael Sweeney acted as starter, and Dr, Robins as referee. The weather was fine and clear agin mid summer and the water jike a sheet of glass. About three o'clock three boats came to the line to start, viz :—

Long John—Jvhn McKenna, stroke; Jas Collins, a m; Jas Gormley, {f m; JA Hughes, bow.

Dreaser—Thos Ronoghan, stroke; Martin Hogan, am; Juhu Callaghar, f m; Alex McRae, bow.

Fakir—F C Collins, stroke ; Donovan, am; R F Mitchell, * w; Handrahan, bow.

Shortly after the boats had taken their positions the word “‘ go” was given, the Fakir tsking water first at a 38 stroke, and the Dresser and Long John pulling a jong heavy stroke. At the quarter the three boats were right abreast, with every man pulling a strong heavy oar. By the time the half mile was reached Long John was leading slightly, but daylight could not be seen between either of the three boats. When the turning buey was reached Long Jokn had a lead of about one length and a half, andthe Fakir and Dresser were right together, the Fakir having to give away to avoid a collision. By the time the last two boats were turned Long John was on her way home with three good lengths to her credit. From this home it was a pretty race between the Fakir and Dresser for second place, there being no more than 4 length between the two boats for the whole course. Long John won, with the Dresser a good second, and the Fakir about a length behind. The course was about two miles. Time, 13 minutes. Mr. James Mo- Kee acted as timer.

The thanks of the crew of Long John are due Mr. James King, (the famous stroke of the Dufferin crew) who collected a purse for the winning boat, and to all the spectators who contributed. After the race the members of the South End entertained the Hillsborough’s crew and some friends at their rooms, where refreshments were serve, and instrumental and vocal music, stump speeches, etc., were indulged in, the company separating about 6 o’cluc’x p. m,

An interesting four-oared boat race took place on Summerside harbor yesterday aftervoon, between oarsmen from the east and west ends of the tewn. The race was around the lighthouse. The crew from the west end won.
