Mr. Blake's Letter.

To the utterances of the Honorable Edward Blake the poeple of Canada will ever turn a respectful ear. They may not all agree with him. but they cannot withhold the respect due to a great intellect, and to a man who has followed his convictions regardless of personal or party expediencies. Mr. Blake has been regarded in this pecu- liar age as too conscientious a man to be a politician and a party lender- and for this reason when be under- takes to address the people his words carry unusual weight. When he talks of political union with the United States it hardly seems the same thing as “annex‘uion," and though the two are one and the same the tongue most glib to utter “ traitor" f*tlt“l'-i to connect it with the name of Edward Bl tke.

He evidently regards annexation as the ultimate destiny of Csuada, but concludes rightly that the people are not ready to consider such a step. Nor will they ever. As the Globe says, Mr. Blake-"s proposition is wholly dkztastcful. lt would involve “for Canada a revolution of tremendous magnitude, and for Britain, perhaps, the beginning of the end of her glori- cus empire."

Mr. Blake's idea on the trade ques- tion may lie‘ brie-fly stated as follows :i He thinks free trade with the world and reciprocal free trade with the Ifnited "States the ideal arrangement.

But this IS impracticable, because the-

Cznsdian policy for the last thirteen years will necessitate for an indefinite time the raising of an enormous rev- enue by high duties on imports. Un- reztricted free trade secured for I. long term of years would give the ll?»-Assings we need. But this involve- didi-ru-ntial duties und a common tariff Crnimr-rcial Union therefore becomes the only available plan, and assuming that it only and ought to come he be‘- liiéves that it can come only as a well understood precursor of political union. On this point he says :-—-

“ I hold by the suggestion that our future should not be settled, (as we have allowed it to he settled- in the past, perhaps much further than we yet realize) by accident, or unwitting- ly, by aidewiuds or the inglnriolls pol- icy of drift. It should, rather, be de termined so far as it remains within our control, of fixed purpose and gftpr discussion and deliberation, as be- pnmes a free people resolving on their

ot.” ‘

This letter will be carefully ponder- ed by electors all over Canada, and while many may agree aim him, thousands will disagree with -him. His arraignment of the Conservative policy is something terrible and it is to he hoped greatly overdravrn g...

ginning, and will take a special collec- tion next Sabbath. The Oddfellows have already forwarded $100 and ex- pect to raise $150 more. The Masons have collectors at work, and from what we have been able to learn, will

not be outdone by any oth< rs. —-—--~{>O<}"“‘”"‘

M r. Joseph Steele asserts in Mon- day's Patriot that he was offered live dollars for his vote on election day. .\lr Steele does not give the name of the person who could question and insult his manhood in such a way. The proper authorities however, should lose no time in finding out and making a public example f such individual. \\'e have quently heard of charges of bribery in con- nection with elections bot the parties whether guilty or innocent always escaped. ll--re seems to he 3 chance to teach C0l'l'upIl «ni-vs a lemon.

Speaking of the recent defeat of the Scott Act in Charlottetown, the Lon- don Canadian Gnu-tte,says “it has had a curious sequel. According to Mr. Spence, the agent of the Dominion Alliance, the Provincial Government will refuse to enforce a license law, and the sale of whiskey and other intoxicants will be as free in the city as that of dry goods or groceries. Mr. Spence, it appears, approves this ides, in the belief that tle over-indulgence that vi-i'.l follow will so disgust the people that they will insist on a return to total prohibition. The more can- tions, ou the contrs.ry,may well venture :o doubt whether any such o\-er-in- dulgence as that predicted will really result. It is perfectly conceivablethat :2. dirt-.ctly ofposite effect may be pn- duced. History and sociology are full of such paradoxes.” '
