Vue Day EXAMINER, AUGUST 29, 1878. :

RECIPROCITY WANTED. —_—_—_——

Hon. Billa Flint, of Leeds, Outario, has written a long ietter to the Madoc ‘ Re- view”, setting forth his opinionsof the trade question. Read this excellent extract from his letter :—

‘Tf we have fair play with our American cousins, we ought to have reciprocity, but as we have not, is there any good reason why they should put a tax of 15 cents per bushel on our barley and rye, and 20 cents on our wheat, while we allow their wheat and corn to come into Canada duty free ?

: Wy np » OF In the issue of the EXAMINER of the 22nd

inst. there appeared an editorial paragraph giv

ing the names of certain prominent supporters of Mr. MeKenzie with their alleged annual sal- aries, and boldly asserting that the receipt of these large salaries was the cause of their al. legiance to the Free Trade party. Special prominence was given to the name of the Loca! Premier, Mr. Davies, who, it was stated, was im receipt of $5,000 per year from the Dominion as their Agent in this Province. We called upon Mr. Davies and asked him as to the truthfulness of the statement regarding his al- leged office and salary. He characterized the whole statement as absolutely false. He has authorized us to repeat what he himself has often publicly stated, that he is not now ancl never was the Agent of the Dominion in this Province—that he is not now and never was in receipt of any salary whatever from the Do- minion; and that the day after the publication of the statement in the EXAMINER he met its editor on the street and informed him of the fact and requested him to do him simple jus- tice by making the necessary correction m his paper. This has not been done, and we pre

sume will not be done. It does not suit the EXAMINER just now to publish the truth. Mis- representation and mis-statements constitute its political stock-in-trade. These are the weapons by which it hopes to gain & victory

‘for its Protectionist friends.— Patriot.

The above paragraph is-—it may be unin- tenionally—very clumsy and very false. In

‘fact, there is hardly a sentence in it which

is precise and exact. It is not true that ‘‘in the issue of the

does, but if barley is worth $1 a bushel in Oswego, it ought fairly to be worth 9 cents in Belleville, allowing 5 cents for storage and freight, providing we had reciprocity. But now, while the American consumer pays the duty, the Canadian farmer gets 15 cents less for his bushel of barley. If Belle- ville, Trenton, Shannonviile, and Mill Point, the four shipping places in this county, ship two million bushels in the season, the loss to this connty for the want of a reciprocal Free Trade at 15 cents per pushel would be $300,000, and the lower the price of barley the harder if presses on the farmer.

“ Suppose a farmer with 400 bushels of barley worth $1 per bushel in Oswego—he only gets $329 for his crop, but if he could save the 15 cents per bushel he would have $380, or $60 more by saving the duty ; or if his 400 bushels were worth only 75 cents in Oswego, he would get $55 here, or $220

or without duty $60 more, making $289 ; and the lower the grain goes the harder it comes on the farmer to submit to the de- duction of 15 cents per bushel to meet the buyer of the Oswego market. Hence, while the consumer really pays the duty, the Canadian farmer is deprived of the benefit of the extra 15 cents per bushel by the il- liberal action of our American neighbors— while in Canada we admit their corn, wheat, oats, &c., duty free, which must, under all cireumstances, except in a short crop or famine, work against the interest of our farmers.

‘“ Suppose our Government puis the same duty on corn, wheat, Xc., coming from the States, as is put on barley, wheat, &e., going from Canada ; supposing we meet them on their own grounds as to manufactures, and thereby shut them out as they do us, from making a slaughter market of their country, as they do of Canada, to the injury of our young and struggling factories, would we not be more likely to get Reciprocal Free Trade in the farming products, not only of grain, but of cattle, horses, sheep, &c. ? T believe we would.”

City Council.

A meeting was held last evening. Present —the Mayor, the Recorder, Councillors Stumbles, Beer, Davy, Heartz, Hooper, Horne, Koughan, Byrne and Morris.

Read aletter from C. C. Jones, offering to sink a shaft to tap the stream of water at the Gas Works, and to furnish water for fire purposes for $400. Laid on the table.

Read application of John Bernard for office of City Surveyor.

Read estimate, by Mr. Curtis, of tender, ete., required to finish breastwork at Victoria Park. Laid on the table.

Councillor Beer moved that the appoint- ment of Walter Lowe to the office ot City Surveyor, bereconsidered

Councillor Stumbles moved in amend- ment, that Walter Lowe be instructed to enter upon his duties, as City Surveyor. Not seconded. Original motion carried.

Councillor Byrne moved, seconded by Councillor Koughan, that James McNally be appointed City Surveyor.

Councillor Stumbles moved in amend- ment, that Walter Lowe be appointed City Surveyor at a salary of $400. Motion not seconded.

Councillor Beer moved, seconded by Councillor Davy, that George Douglass be appointed City Surveyor in the place of Walter Lowe. Original metion carried.

Councillor Koughan moved that salaries of City officials be reduced 20 per cent.

Councillor Stumbles, moved in amend- ment, that such salaries as are considered too high, be reduced, and that the salaries of officials, holding laborious and respon- sible positions, remain as they are.

The Recorder said notice of proposed change would have to be made.

The motions were then withdrawn, and Councillor Morris gave notice that he would, at the next regular meeting, move for’a reduction of all Civic salaries (except those of Police force) twenty per cent.

Councillor Horne moved, that a new well be dug at the west end of Hillsborough Square, and that the well now in the middle of the street be filled up.

Councillor Morris moved, that the pump at front of Prince Street be put in order immediately.

Councillor Beer called attention to the pump out of order on Weymouth Street, near Pethick’s Brewery.

A Report of the Finance Committee was submitted and made the Order of the Day for next meeting.

The EXAMINER never stated that Mr. L. H. Davies was in receipt of $5,000 per year from the Dominion «as their agent in this Province. The statement the ExaMINER made was that Mr. Davies, as Solicitor to the Dominion, receives yearly, in fees, *‘say $5,000.”

The fact is, that, on Saturday Mr. Davies met the editor of the EXAMINER in Dr. Dodd’s store,and there informed him, in effect, that he has not, either directly or indirectly, received any money, whatever, from the Dominion Government, with the

exception of a few fees for drawing deeds of Railway lands, or something of that sort. The editor of the ExaMIneR reminded Dir.

Davies of the Fishery Commission; and Mr. Davies said he ‘‘ earned all he got out of it” —a statement in which the editor of the Examinet fully concurs. Mr. Davies spoke a little excitedly; and the quibblings of the Patriot this morning gives rise toa suspicion that he spoke hastily. There was not the slightest necessity to say it is ‘* spsoLuTELY FALSE” that Mr. Davies is Agent in this Province for the Dominion Government—because the EXAMINER hever There was not the slightest state that the Examiner asserted that the receipt of a large salary was the Mr. Davies’ allegiance to the McKenzie Govern- ment; for the ExAMINER never even insin- uated such a thing. Mr. Davies either feels that his statement to the editor of the Ex- AMINER on Saturday evening was too sweep-

made any such statement. necessity to

ing or the Patriot quibbles without any reason—which is not likely.

We need hardly say that we accept Mr. Davies’ statement without reserve. But should Mr. Davies, on second thought, wish to amend it (as we feel sure he will if it be not strictly correct) we shall be happy to afford him the means of doing so.

The matter is of public importance—in- asmuch as the Premier of this Province should not be in the receipt of fees from the

‘Government of the Dominion. +r -—----

Grit Fizzzle.

Tue meeting called by the Grit eandi- dates at Cox’s, Morell, on Tuesday last, was a dead failure. At a former meeting, duly called, abeut three weeks ago, the Grit candidates neglected to attend, and on Tuesday the electors resented the slight by leaving them severely alone. The only Grit

adherents who attended were compused of ‘the Grit jackals who follow their men from | neetins to meeting, seeking whom they ‘may «. our. “Tis said this army of cormo- lrants 4s being daily added to. Doubtless, if the Liberal-Conservative candidates were not present we would have seen another untruthful statement of a meeting in favor of the Grits from the pen of some played out whipper in of a defunct party.

THE CAMPAIGN.

MURRAY HARBOR.

We tlearn—from the best authority— that Messrs. MeDonald and Mauttart will receive a very large support in the Murray Harbor District. The prospects of the suc- cess of their Candidature are most en- couraging.

BELFAST. The cordiality with which Messrs. Pope and Brecken were received in Eldon, was outvied in Wood [slands and Murray Har- bor Road. All their meetings, so far, have been exceedingly successful. Every one of them showing a large majority i their favor.

OTTAVVA. it is rumored that Hon. Mr. Scott will run for Ottawa, this being the only chance left for the Grits in that constituency.

Pierov. The Liberal-Conservatives are in high spirits, splendidly organized, and will undoubtedly carry the County, for both Dominion and Local Representatives by sweeping majorifies.

An Astonishing Fact.

A large proportion of the American peo ple are to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of in- telligent and valuable people is most alarm- ing, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the ad- vice of druggists and your friends, and try one bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your spoedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, with satisfactory results in every case. You can buy a sample bottle for 19 cents to try. Three doses will re- \lieve the worst case. Positively sold by all druggists on the Western Continent.
