The Titles put a few plain questions to the Recorder as follows :-- 1. noes he believe, or bas he any reason for hoping that unrestricted reeiprooity can be secured with the Uuited States ? 2, Does he not believe unrestricted re- ciprocity is really another name for com- mercial union under which we should be obliged to adoptthe McKinley Bill against all the world but the $tater ? 3, hoes he believe we could retain British connection under unrestricted re. eiprooity alias commercial union ? 4. Bearing in mind, -(a), that almost one half of Canada's present revenue is de- rived from <uaterna duties levied an im- perts from the States, (b) that under free trade with that couutry our revenues on British imports would be decreased great- ly for the reason that we would bny as meth as possible in the States with which we would enjoy free trade and as little as passible in England on whose goods we would maintain 0 duty of 25 to 85 per cent., and (e) that the items of interest on deb;, eta , $12,00),000 and subsidies of v" e 0 -- !o altoge- ther -absorb is X4,000 00 16 millions al a c a, 4 7 P g thee -absorb nearly one half of our revert - nes, -bearing these simple facts in mind, does not aur totem. admit that our present position absolutely forbids any attempt at unrastrioted reciprocity, which we see would deprive us of at least twenty -Ove millions and leave us but nine or ten mile lions to meet thetwo items of interest and sibsidies, $16,000,000, to say nothing of the other items making up aur present ex- penditure of $35,000,0U0? Last week the Recorder answered the above questions one by one. To the first question its answer is "yes," basing its belief on (1) the fact that prominent newspapers and politi- s in the United States have declar- .-.,, ttir.Rne.., aa. uslraatrict,.rl soohl,rooiby, and (2) both parties in the States have introduced incest:1a* pointing to such international relations. Our contem- porary, however, very conveniently ignores the fact that all resolutions pointing to unrestricted reciprocity in- troduced in the Senate and House of Representatives had commercial . union, not unrestricted reciprocity, for their object, and provided expressly for the assimilation of the tariffs of both coun- tries against the rest of ;the world, and the pooling of all revenues. The assert- ion that Ieading newspapers in the United States favor the project is equal ly wide of the mark. We invite our cotem. to quote a single extract that will sustain his contention. The New "York Tribune is reputed to occupy the same position towards the Washington Administration that the Globe does to- ards the Reform party, and right in middle of the campaign last March ibune stated that tbe Reform' Canada, if they expected the totes to give them reciprocity not involve a common tariff rest of the world, were like iat cried because it was im- to get a piece of the moon for fast. And less than three montbs since the Chicago Tribune, which is also reputed to be the mouth -piece of the Harrison Administration, was equally pronounced, saying that it would be absurd to think of giving free trade to Canada unless Canada was prepared to adopt the American tariff against the rest of the world. These unequivocal declarations of American papers ought to convince the intelligent reader that the Recorder had not good grounds for answering "yes" to the first query above. To the second query, the Recorder makes answer that we assume the Mc- Kinley Bill as a fixture, but that on the contrary the trend of opinion and of legislative enactment in the United States is towards a reduction of the tariff. We cannot agree with our es- teemed eotem. The McKinley Bill itself is iu evidence to oppose its statement. It is an enactment of but to -day. It must be accepted as 'n . undying the present views of the United States Con- gress and Senate. McKinley, the author of the bill, was elected Governor of his State a few months ago by a majority approximating 20,000. Surely that does not indicate that the people of the United States are opposed to his high protection views, However, our coteni'a reply is not an answer to the second question. We think our remarks upon his answer to Question No. 1 sufficiently prove that unrestricted reciprocity is bub another name for commercial union. To the third question, "does he be- lieve British connection could be ret;in- ed under unrestricted reciprocity, alias commercial union," the Recorder answers "yes," and repeats the saying Wrongfully attributed to Sir ;fan Mac- donald, that ac-donaid,;that if the N, P. endangered British connection so much the worse for British connection, from which we can infer nothing else than that unre- stricted reciprocity, in the opinion of the Recorder, i• •ritieh con- nection. But can the connection be retained 1 We aver not. On this point we call as witness the Rt. Hon, Joseph Chamber, lin, who, in discussing this question at Toronto, gave it as his decided opinion that the commercial union of Canada and the United States would be incom; patible with the maintenance of British connection with Canada. Likewise Mr: Blake, whose authority the Recorder will hardly venture to question, stated in his celebrated letter to the West Durham electors that "the tendency of unrestricted trade with the States, high duties being maintained against the United Kingdom, would be towards filet. Mahon withthe States." t c n U o State .a But perhaps our coterie. will next be saying that we can have Political Union and British connection both. The attempt of the Recorder, to put the N. 1'. and U, R. ou the same plane as anti-British engines is unfair and misleading to those who do not thoroughly understand the question, The N. P. does not directly discriminate againstEngland. Certain products of English factories which might be made in thia country under certain conditions, anal which are not made iii the States, is the extent of the N. P. discrimination. But the policy of the Liberals would discriminate directly and heavily against everything produced in England and in favor of the States. To our fourthquestion,het er u u whether, , in view of the fact that U. R,would de- prive us of over twenty million dollars revenue,we are not from financial rea- sons precluded from attmpting unre- stricted reciprocity, our cato% assures us that we are not so preclnded. To support its answer it goes on to argue that Canada under unrestricted reoipro. oity would require to continue to import from England and other countries, and that consequently we would have suf- ficient revenue still flowing into the treasury to tarry on our affairs. Asser- tions ale all very well in such cases. But what does Mr. Blake say on this point ? In his West Durham letter he wrote : "0f the financial problem presented by unrestricted reciprocity. I have seen no solution which would leave us without a great deficit. He also said in his Malvern speech "No roan, I care not how convinced an advocate of free trade for Canada he may be, bas yet suggested; -no man,.1 believe, can suggest -a practicable plan whereby our great revenue needs can be met other• wise than by thecontinued imposition of very high duties on goodssimilar to those we make. 1 invite the most ardent free trader to present a plausible solution to this problem. He is bound to do so before he talks of free trade as practicable xn Canada. The thing Is REMOVED FRon TixE DOMAIN OF rinIOTIOAL i'OLITIOs," But aside from all this, let us exam- ine the condition of trade. The two countries, Great Britain and the United States, supply us with 91.86 per cent. of all imports, leaving less than 9 per cent. to be imported from all other countries. We imported in 1890 $56,368,990 worth of goods from the States, or 41,88 per cent. of our totalimports. From Great Britain we imported $60,440,246 or 49.98 per cent. of our tatal imports. It must bo admitted that, with unrestricted trade between Canada and the States, and a high tariff against English goods, the volume of trade trithEngland would be greatly diminishedaud corresponding ly increased with the United States, And our revenue from imports thus dis- appear entirely. Especially is this true where the articles, which under present conditions we import from England, are manufactured also in the United States, from whence we could import free of duty. As an illustration of the manner in which the McKinley tariff, which the Recorder would wish to adopt for Can- ada by placing it around our sea coast in order to obtain what it terms free trade. affects American commerce, it may be mentioned that during the ten months of last year certain imports stood as fol- lows, compared with the same period the previous year : 1891. 1899.

Is the Mother Country going to pay gold for our produce when she can buy it from other countries by the sale of merchandise 1 If we could buy, as we can, the same articles in the States tbat now com- prise the British 49 per cent. of our total imports, it is not unreasonable to affirm, as we do affirm, that we would under unrestricted reciprocity cease trading altogether with. England and transfer our purchases to the markets of the States, which would then be al- most the whole world to Canada. How, under these circumstances, Brutish con- nection could be retained is one of the mysteries which only such people as the Recorder editor can solve. We have to repeat what we said be- fore, (1) that U. R. means commercial union ; (2) that commercial union in- volves a common tariff and a pooling of the revenues of the two countries ; (3) that we would have no trade left with Great Britain; (4) that there would be a huge annual deficit which the U. S. would have to make up for us to keep us alive ; (5) that finally, to get out of fin- ancial • troubles, the different provinces would have to pray for admission as States of the American Union.

"Canada First" says the home of the negro is'the south ; that of the white man, the north. Very well ; let it so remain, and they will not overrun the north But I question the genuineness of "Canada First's" figures. In fact, I go further, and dispute then: in tote. No American au- thority of any consequence agrees with "Canada First." The present negro pop - libation of op,ulation'of the United States is 8 millionst They have not increased more rapidly than the whites since the close of the war, as "Canada First' says. To outnumber the whites iu 40 or 60 years hence, they wouldirequire to inerease at the least ten- fold. This they cannot do, if we be per- mitted to judge by their increase in the Past, which is fair; In 1860 they numberedbared 4,441,830; n 'n 1870, 4,880,009; in 1880, 8,000,000 approximately; that is to say, in. 20 years they increased but 48 per cent., or tittle „less than doubled their number. They have to quintuple or sextuple their numbers from now until1910 to outnum- ber the whites, but the whites have beau constantly outstripping them, notwith- standing so eminent an authority as "Canada First," who says they bay" eat. stripped the whites. From 1860 t 1890 the whites have increased (I speak of the native-born white) 61 per cent, as against the 48 par cent. of the negro. Thr census bureau of the U. S. assures us hat the census of 1890 shows a smallerco nparativa increase of negroes than of wl fites. Ex - Governor Ashley, of Ohio, an, excellent authority, somewhat better thajt "Canada First," I fancy, estimates that i6fty years hence the total negro population wilh be thirteen millions. At this rate the relative proportion of negroes to whiffs will then be very much less than nolv,F Far the benefit of "Canada First" 1 sub. mit a few figures which lie eau examine at leisure, and extract from them what com- fort he may : Colored population in 1860, 4,441,830; in 1870 4,880,009; in 1880 8,000,000 esti- mated, Native white population in 1860, 22,862,794; in 1870, 28.111,133; in 1880, 36,895,047; in 1890, 50,000,000 estimated. Trusting that "Canada J'irst" may lose no sleep for fear of coming under the dominion of the negro, I remain, yours truly, CA-RAMAN.

DEAR SIR, -I have beeninformed that at the ananal school meeting held last week, I was re-elected, for our village, auditor of school accounts; ani after my appoint- ment, a certain man suggested that the school auditors should be paid for their services. I hereby statethat as the amount of labor incurred in the said audit is only a mere trifle, and has always been per- formed gratuitously, ' I shall certainly not accept any remuneration for my slight services rendered in this connection TaomAs GREeoRY. During Christmas week 38,000,000 letters and parcels.were posted in Lon- don, and 33,000,000 were delivered. Fifteen thousand sorters and postmen were on duty on Christmas Eve within the metropolitan area. If there should be any place in the world where these gigantic figures were equalled, positively or comparatively, Postmaster -General Fergusson would like to know its name. * , w On the 31st January, 1888, the total, matured and unmatured, liabilities of the Province of Quebe_o amounted to $22,143,447. Assets, $10,844,280. Net debt, $11,299,167. On the 30th June last the picture was as follows :-Liabili- ties, $84,888,207; assets, $11,139,553 ; net debt, $23,748, 654. In plain English Mercier has increased the net debt of the Province of Quebec nearly$13,000,, 000 in less than five .years. And in so doing he has been supported by Mr. Laurier and his friends, who have been striving with Mercier's aid to get con- trol of the Dominion money chest. . Is it not reasonable to infer that had Mr. Laurier succeeded to power in the Do- minion in the last elections, he would have used •that power to kelp Count Mercier out of his financial dilemma.
