people as being almost too silly for serious refutation, but in any case it may be worth while to quote the elo- quent words of Joseph Howe upon that sublect. He was speaking before the great trade convention in Detroit in 1865, shortly before the recipro- city treaty was abrogated by the American Government. Mr Howe said:

"I have'heard it said since I came

to the convention that if thereciprocity treaty is annulled the British Provinces will be so cramped that they will be compelled to seek annexation to the United States. I know the feeling inthe lower Pro- vinces, and I believe I sm well en- ough acquainted with the Canadians to speak for them also when I male the assertion that no consideration of finance, no question of balance for or against them on the interchange of commodities can have any influence upon the loyalty of the inhabitants of the British Provinces, or tend in the slightest degree to alienate the affections of the people from their country, their institutions, their gov- ernment and their Queen. There is not a man who dare, on the abroga- tion of the treaty, if such be its late, to take the hustings and APPGB1 YO any constituency on BHDGXBUOB Pfln' ciples throughout the entire Domin- ion. The man who avowed such a sen- timent would he sconted from society by his best friends. What other treat- ment would a man deserve who had turned traitor to his government and

son) to whom I have alluded as hav- lng fought manlully for the stars and stripes would rather blow his own father's brains 'out than haul down the honoured nag imder which he was born. If any member of tae convention harbours the idea that in refusing reciprocity to Britidr Ameri- ca they would undermine the loyal feeling.. ef the people of thou °°\°1\- ies. he is labour-ing under s delusion. I sincerely hope that all thought of forcing annexation upon the pwplc of Canada will be abandoned."

The above passage and much mon of llr Hows's Detroit speech was quoted by Mr Warburton in his re- cent speech on reciprocity. It makes good reading for young and old at the present time._ Mr Howe was speaking, not to Canadians, but to American citimns, and while thus he spoke with the courage of his con- victions, the vast assembly of repub- iieians present cheered him to the echo. What he said forty-five years a- go wss true of Canada and Canadians of that day and is true of Canada. and the Canadian people of today. Their loyalty and patriotism are not involved in, or endangered by any question of trade or finance. and the men who are foremost in the iight for reciprocity now, would be the ilrst to resent and repel any open or insid- ious attempt to tamper with their allegiance to their rightful Sover- reign.

___._._____._.___._____.___._.fr.__;_______s,___-_.___-_-g-,,-_»_~_-_-_- M. - .

On Wednesday last, Mr Monk, Con-

servative, of Quebec, deemed it desir- able before proceeding with the de- bate‘on the reciprocity agreement to place the House of Commons on re- cord hs to its loyalty. "With a view godinpgl the feeling of unrest created in Canada by comments made in both countries as to the political con- sequences oi the agreement"-so runs the motion-“the House wishes to nf- hrm emphatically its determination to preserve intact the bonds which unite Canada to the British Empire and the full liberty of Canada to control her fiscal policyl and internal economy."

Of course this was an altogether

unnecessary motion and although it emanated from an Opposition source it was s. hard one for the Ministerial majority to vote down. Wherefore al- ter the leaders ofn both sides had de- fined their position and each had al-

able gentlemen opposite were no more patriotic, honorable and sensible than they ought to be, the Prime Minister accepted the motion and it was un- animously adopted.

From which a disquieted and dis-

tracted country may learn that the Canadian House of Commons stands for the Old Flag and is “truly loil." King George will also, no doubt be glad to learn that 'the Canadian Par- liament still stands for British con- nection. Uncle Sani may take warn- ing that while the rain of annexa- tion descends and disloyal winds blow and beat upon the Canadian Parliament House it will not fall, because it is firm-based upon the rock ofthe Ottawa bluff, and the principles of undying loyalty to the Crown and patriotic love for our monerchical institutions.

We thought we knew all this be-

fore. Now we may be doubly assur- ed. The House of Commons is loyal. The Opposition isa loyal Opposition. The Government benches are lined with loyal men. The Nationalists are loyal. For they themselves have said _it, and whether or not "it is greatly

so mildly intimated that the honor-‘

THE COUNTRY is sAFE_ "come n little monotonous it repeated

from day to day. And it might not strengthen our confidence, for perad- venture some one might arise after a while and remark, ."Me'thinks our Lady of the Snows doth protest too much."

Not because of that unanimous but

altogether superpluous resolution but for other and better reasons we have

long ago concluded that the loyalty

party leaders beratc each other, and the too frequent adoption of loyalty

We are convinced, is sound and true, ,and the country is safe.

TI-IE WINTER SERVICE.

_

Last. winter was so exceptionally

mild that it seems to have given B misleading impression to the authori- ties at Ottawa. The present, which is quita an ordinary winter, 'has demon. strated that the Minto is entirely- nn. equal to th-e emergency, while the Grey, an excellent _boat and. ably 0;. Scored. cannot keep np the .-¢g.,1,,, 1"steam communication for the con. Vviance of mails and passengers" stipulated in the terms ol union. In consequence our mails to and from the outside world are being my-ri¢d by the old iceboat system at the CHP" |11 vogue slrty year.. age. The need of another and powerful

winter steamer to replace the Mint., has become imperative. The exorbi-t_ Ulf °b°rs¢f1 101' passengers and bag. lK°K° by the Capes route are still continued and ought surely to be N, duced or cancelled altogether. It ig- true that few passengers nrogg that yay now. or will attempt to ‘.10 so Iwhile the stcamers have any prospect Q0' 59551118 £0 Picton and return. But some have been practically forced to do so in this as in past winter; and the Capes route may any day necomn the only route avaliable by wninh 'U16 ¢l'0SSiug to the mainland can be Imade' we ”5P°°¢fUUY Bgain direct ,the attention of Hon. Mr. Brodeur to this important matter.
