The Wiman Scheme.

Waite on his oath before a committee Mr. asked

of Congress, Wiman was

question :

‘* Suppose Canada and the United States

had complete commercial union or reciprocity, or take any other form of accomplishing it, what affect would that have on the desire for annexation in the mindg of those (in Canada) who now desire it ?”

follows :

Mr. Wiman’s answer was a5 }

‘* Let us trace the practical results of it; suppose your committee should report in favor of unrestricted reciprocity between Canada and the United States; then suppose that at the next general election, which takes place within eighteen months, the Liberal party, adopting that as the sole plank in their plat- form, should be returned by a large majority, and parliament should take on a commercial

union or an unrestricted reciprocity com- plexion, they would be in control of the Government; they would meet your invitation by a vote; that would have to go to England to be eonsidered by the royal authorities. The theory of the Government of Canada by LEng-

land is that England consents to everything except that which she disallows by reason of its affecting her interests; and yet the fact is that for twenty years the Governor-general has been standing there like an automaton, bowing to everything that has been brought before him. Never has he said nay. So that the fact is that Canada is just as free as New York. But the day when the resolution was passed which would admit American goods free and charge a duty on British goods, the Governor-general would staud bolt upright, would not say a word whether Her Majesty would consent or not. Then the dilemma of the English Govornment would be very great. She could not readily consent to it without offending the English manufacturers. Sup- pose the English Government refused, then the Canadians would be relieved from their fealty, which would be just as much a justif- cation for a Boston tea party as there was in 1776 or prior. Suppose, on the contrary, the Government of Canada received permisston to do this thing, and that they could trade with you as freely as they wished, the result would be an enormous emigration from this side for the development of Canada’s natural resources, and in ten years the American element in} Canada would so increase as to change her political complexion entirely. So thatnothing could contribute so much to bring about | annexation, if it is thought in the end to be | desirable, as to have closer commercial rela- tions.”’

Notes and Comments.

-—The regularity and promptitude with which the mails are now received and de- livered is creditable to the Steam Naviga- tion Company and the railway and post of- fice departments, and satisfactory to the public.

—The Breeders’ Gazettesays that farms that are largely laid down to grass and upon which good stock is kept are constantly grow- ing richer. Farms that are turned over every year and the crop hauled to market in time become worn out. Stock-growing involves less plowing, less labor and less machinery, aud in the long run_ brings bet- ter profits than any other branch of farm- ing; but every market report teaches that good blood must be used instead of **scrubs.” Well-bred live stock, judiciously purchased and properly handled, should be found upon every farm.

— The increase in the population of the United States during the last decade has been the lowest percentage of augmentation (if we except the ten years that included the civil war period) recorded in the present century, The population as shown by re- turns, is 64,000,000, which is an increase of 28 per cent. on the 50,155,783, of 1880. The last figure showed an increase of 30.08 per cent. on the population of 1870. Be- tween 1860 and 1870 there was, to a large extent, an arrest of immigration, especially in the years 1860-65, ani the loss by death and the exodus from the south also tended

to diminish the total. ‘The increase from $1,443,321 to 38,558,371, indicated a per- nallest on record

centage of 2265—the s i le in the century. In 1880 the 1© Republic was only 5,308, - the rate of 35 per cent. increase since 1790. The figure varied little during the succeeding years till the war time, going down to 324 per cent. for 1820-30, and rising to 35 in 1850-60.

Which Was Ax

It has been well-known for several years that Messrs. J. F. Willis & Co., of Stel- larton, have led the piano and organ trade of Nova Scotia and also of P. E. Island. In fact, in Eastern Nova Scotia J. F. Willis & Co. have almost the entire trade to them- selves. This position they have fairly won in open, honorable contest. They have re- presented the leading manufacturers of Canada and also the great Emerson Piano Manufacturing Co.. of Boston, with a cir- culation of over 50,000 instruments in use in the leading musical institutions of the United States and Canada. It is only just

This answer of the author of Commercial Union or Unrestricted reciprocity —given under oath— shows how exceedingly careful . free people who are unwilling to sell their | birth-right as members of the British Zmpire for a mess of pottage should be in| the exerciee of their electoral rights. Here | is a pretty scheme to make sure of the an nexation of Canada to the neighboring re- public, the success of which depends merely upon the return to power of the Grit party

upon the Commercial Union or Unrestrict- , We have to thank! *":

ed Reciprocity plank. the man who, by ferreting out this Wiman answer, has expose d the plot. is, as The Empire points out, cunningly contrived to attain its end in any event, if Canada can once be persuaded to accept his scheme of detaching the Dominion commercially from the British Empire and transferring it commercially to the United States. The two horns of the dilemma are as follows: If the imperial authorities in- Mr. urges be relieved from

terposed their veto, Wiman that ‘‘Canadians would their fealty,” and would have ‘‘justification for a Boston tea party:” If, on the other hand, the imperial authorities assented, My. Wiman declares that by the conse- quent migration the ‘American element in Conada would so increase as to change her political complexion entirely, so that noth- contribute much to bring

ing could sO

about annexation.”

The Summerside Races.

Ir has been said that there are in Prince Edward Island more men to the square acre who talk horse than there are in any other part of the world. However this may be, it is certain that Summerside and its vicinity can furnish a grester number of genuine lovers of horseflesh than any other part of the Province. These horsemen have cause to congratulate themselves on the success of the races of Saturday last. The judges were competent and impartial, and the affair was so well conducted that only a carping critic, or one wholly opposed to racing, would find cause for complaint. That so many promising young horses were brought together speaks volumes concern- ing the progress made here in the breeding of trotting stock. It is regretted that Pilando, Inspector and Parkside, were out of condition. But they, with the rest, showed the genuine spirit of racers. Many of our readers will be pleased to note that the potency of the blood of Hernando and All Right in the production of trotters has been triumphantly proved. The record made by the Hernando colt in this race— officially given as 2.56;—has, if we mistake not, only been beaten by one other two- year-old produced in these Maritime Pro- vinces—a filly in which the strains of All Right and Hernando were combined, who trotted the mile in Fredericton last year in 2.54.

Inctrient Fine.—Some cotton waste satut- ated with oil was found smouldering in a heap of sweepings and other refuse in the rear of the Medical Hall on Saturday evening. A gentleman passing along the street smelled the burning waste, and gave the alarm at th oo. As soon as the waste _was removed

rom the pile it burned up briskly. . There

and esteem all over Nova Scotia and the tight little Island hard by. The public will learn with high satisfaction that this firm have established themselves to stay, entrenched, as they are in the good wishes of the musical public, and all who have come in_ contact them. The House of Willis & Co. of Montreal have also taken stock in this enterprising concern. The name by which the new firm will be known then, is the Willis Piano & Organ Co. With a paid up capital of $50,000, this new firm enterprise will afford employment to many

Is Turis Trvuze.—A St. Andrews despatch tothe St. John Telegraph says: Friday a |young woman, the wife of Archibald | Beaney of St. George (with an infant babe | six months old) was placed in the custody of the jailor to serve a term of two months ‘for violation of the Scott Act. Mrs. Beaney alleges that a neighbor, Mrs. John Gillis, came to her house, and asked her if she could give her some liquor, that she was very sick and wanted it very much. The woman, who is now incarcerated, hav- ing some liquor which she had used in her illness gave her a small quantity, for which Mrs. Gillis handed her 25 cents. The purchaser forthwith carried the bottle to the Scott Act inspector and proceedings

were instituted with the result above stated. —_——-»-----

Tue Recatra.—The regatta to be held here on the forenoon of October lst promises to be a grand success. The big prize of $70 which the Committee offer to be competed for in the four-oared shell race, ought to bring some good crewsfrom the other side. The New Glasgow boys are hard at work and say they will ‘get square” with Charlottetown this time. A hard-fought race may be looked for in these boats. The four-oared lapstreak is the one that is exciting the most interest in boating circles. This race will settle the dispute between the H. B. C. and S. E. B. C. for aquatic honors. To summarize the regatta would take up too much space. All the races which appear in the programme published in another column will, no doubt, be keenly contested, and some exciting contests may be looked for. The ‘‘ Horribles” in boats will form a new feature, and will, no doubt, amuse the thousands that will witness the regatta, between the races. Altogether, the regatta promises to be a grand event, and we would advise every one who wish to enjoy a pleasant forenoon to attend. Races start at 9 o’clock sharp.
