THURSDAY, SEF'T, 8th, 18874 ' A FISHERY COMMISSION IS to be ap- Pointed, with three member&repeesent- ing GreatBritain and throe represent, ing the United. Statee. Mr: . Joseph: Chamberlain is to one of the British Commissioners. and the names •of two, ethers are mentioned mthe deepatch- es. There is no likelihood that the, United States will consent ts •pay a cash indemnity for the•privilege of us- ing the Canadian,. fisheries. The best way to settle the • question is to make it a part of a reciprocity treaty. The people ineboth Canada and the United States especially those who live close to the border,.want to extend their trade. Free trade between the two countries would peacify Manitoba and Nova Scotia, Ontario would be a.great gainer frnm it.. The revenue Teestion is not insurmountable. WhereOntario and Quebec werejoined to Isl'eueBruns. wick and Nova,Scotitte , the, collection of duties on commodities passing from one Province to the other ceased, but there was plenty of revenue for all. Nobody pretends to believe that there would be any, lack of revenue for the whole country., between the Gulf ,of 'Mexico and theArctic Ocean, if Can- ada were annexed to the United States. A joint puree scheme is •quite - practic- able.. Not only to remove a , cause of strife, ).ut,to add to the wealth, and prosperity of both countries, the fisher- ies question should be settled by a re- ciprocity measure, THE TonostmeWortti announces that Mr. Creighton and Boswell have given up the attempt to collect $250, 000 to establish the Empire for a Con_ servative organ. It was not to be ex- pected that they could get the money from the ordinary Conservatives,and it is a wonder that Sir John did not geta whole quarter of a million from Oncler- dank or Stephen, by one Of the proces- ses.he understands so well. The corn- mon.Conservat ives have good reasons toerefuso subscriptions. If they are merchants, they cannot but know that. Si*John's.N.P. hasbeen a costly.thing ftinetheme The story of the grocers thattthey havebeen selling granulated sugar ate loss for years might be dup-, limited in other directions..

Thdre must be hun- dreds of thousands of dollars invested in cotton mills and other textile works, upon which not one dollar of dividend has ever been paid, and 50 ceats co uld not to -day be realized for each dollar' =sestet!. IN HIS ADDRE4S at Detroie on Satin... day night e Mr.. Wim aii went over the whole subject of Commercial Union, and at the coaciusion strong resolu- tions infavor of the scheme were adopted. As Mr. Whiten has already spoken an been reported at ValiOUS points in Canada, it is utmecessary to summarize the Detroit speech. On one branch—the question Of annexa- tion—he took a stand that has not "been. generally, expected from him. Mr- Wimtsn's argument is,that the full advantages of free trade-e-libertye to bnyeend to sell whenever there is mut- ual, profit by. so doing—can be attain- ed Without eny changes Of existing pol- Weal relations., DEseesren Fnost Murray Bay pon- taina the following gratifying gerice, that Rom EdwardiBlalce • has been greatly improvedin health by his. sojourn there this suMmen Ile takes eorisiderablo, exercise in the shape of leing daily walks.

If under' our present system of lieeveetaeiff pro-' tection, a nenufacturer does not pee hiSeway cleer to do Si paying businees without taxing the.citizens of thelocal- ity, the industry is clearly a superflu- ous tele. The nuniber• of bonueed manufactories which have feilecbeer, after tie -while, moved to some place bet- ter suited for their business, oughtto have been o warning.to the citizens of', Whitby. But it requiree the hard lbs - sone of experience to teach sortie peo- ple anything, THE GROCERS' ASSOCIATION' are greatly chagrined, and apparently spree - what alarmed,to find that those mer- chants wheehave remained 4 outside of the combination have become better tnown and more popidanand probably moreprosperous, because of their stout iesistance of,. ell the means to force them into the combination, and also of their determination teetuaintain heathy competition. In theh vexation the A.-ssociaticm. is unwise enough to impute a pretence to, "benevolence" on the, Part of4hese grocera . But so far as *e know the persons in questionhave made no such peetence; They- have been given, however, for serving the public, and that credit they deserve. ••••••111.1•101, • THE IVIANAGEMENT of the C. Peale seems tai excite discontent and hostil- ity in every section which it traverses. It is not in Manitobaalone that. the peo- ple are dissatisfied with the ceurseof, monopolists. The dealings of the. corporationewitli: the CitypfeVictoria, B. 0.,. have created aevery strong feel - ng against the'eroad, and the threat to boycott . the line ds..freely made. The Colonist of that,espeaking.of the Man- itoba struggle, says: "If the people there have been as badly used as the people. of Victoria, we do not wonder that that country: Is, on the verge of Arebel- lion.".
