The Exeter Advocate, 1895-4-26, Page 4THE fteix,r Atatorate, SANDERS ea DYER, Prop, THURSDAY, APRIL 25th, 1895 A 21.TDAL JVAVEOFPROTECTION The world moves. Fifty years ago Britain adopted the Cobden theory of free and unrestricted trade, thinking that she had only to settle down to be the world's manufacturer and that she could safely throw open her markets to the nations of Europe. But the wheel cif fortune has turned against the Unit. ad Kingdom, which has now to com hpete with :foreign countries ha ving a high protective tarriff, and is thus han • dieapped in her trade relations with those nations that are large producers and manufacturers whose imports into Britain are admitted free of duty. The result has been depression in British trade, the closing of British factories and consequent distress among British operatives. The British farmer has felt '-I conly the stagnation of business in the old country, because of the inability of the working classes to buy their pro- ducts and because of the undue corn petition occasioned by the free admis- sion of foreign products. And the con- sequence has been that both farmers and fact'lry employes are looking about them for some change in the policy of :British trade and Commerce. A few ears ago, when preferential trade was first mooted, the British Congress of Chambers of Commerce wculd hardly entertain the idea; but according to the published report of the Canadian elegates who went to England to at eeemd the Congress held from all parts of the Empire, the question of a preferent- ial tariff applicable to the whole Em- pire occupied the largest share of pub - ie attention, and though Sir Chas. Tupper's amendment in favor of a dif- ferential duty of 5 per cent was lost by a small majority, owing to the influ- ence of certain English residents, yet tis motion infavor of freer trade relations between Britain and her colonies was unanimously adopted, We observe also that the British farmers have taken the bull by the horns, and by a large maj erity the National Agricultural Con- ference have passed a motion in fav- or of protection. The motion declared that "unfair competition of uu- taxed foreign imports with hothe pro- alled for d..ilce was unjust and c immed- iate remedy." How different is the condition of the Canadian farmer from that of the British agriculturalist! Our Canadian farmers throughout the Do- minion enjoy the benefits of protection on nearly every article of farm products while they have now enlarged markets ogeuectup by them in Britain and oth- er . parts of the world. The English gvamer.has had to contend not only agaihst'la'ad seasons and poor crops, but also (what is even worse) with the direct taxation that results from free trade and unfair competition with foreign countries whose exports are admitted free of duty into the English market— while the produce of the British farmer is shut out from foreign countries by high import taxes. The time has ar- rived when a preferential trade as between the Motherland and her Colon- ies will be one the leading factors at next general election in the United Kingdom and when leading politicans of both parties will be compelled per- force to listen to the demands of farm- ers and the representations of British Boards of Trade.

Uii,naelt �A+^ ;f�ito►dyt k4d lain !f heli Buffalo, �� }""+ji "i. °that amongst the.,led at the Spring assizes 1 Stamp 1s one 10 TOcover on a promissory note made by Henry F. Teeter, a lfiaterfoad, Ont., hotolkooper for the sum of $525. Tho note is said to be the result of an unlawful bargain and therefore invalid. According to last evening's Times, in October, 1893, a well- known Buffalo physician and his brother went to Teeter's hotel and arranged for the.purohase of a large quantity of opium in Toronto, which Teeter was to bring to Buffalo on November 4th. On that day Teeter, it is alleged reached the . Contin- ental hotel in this city with the opium and mot the doctor and his brother. One half the opium was at onoo handed to the doctor and Tooter was to convey the bal- ance to the doctor's house at Dight o'clock that evening, which he dill. While sit- ting in the doctor's office a muffled up and mysterious looking:stranger forced hisway into the room, "Well, I've got you, have I?" said ho gruffly. "I'm a detective, and I've shadowed you all the way from Toronto. I knew you wore handling this stuff, and now I want both of you to come with me." The doctor remonstrated, pleaded, beg- ged and finally the alleged detective agreed to accept $1,000, and this, partly in cheques,inotes and cash, was given him and he departed, taking with him the smuggled opium. ; Then t110 doctor, who apparently was much perturbed, told Teeter that the latter would haver stand his share of the loss and Teeter, it is said, gave a note for $525, Nothing further was done until recently, when a man named Robertson sued Teeter for the face of that promissory note, and then an investigation brought out! the fact that the alleged detective who got 81,000 and all the opium was not a detective, but an accomplice of the physician, who was brought on to swindle Teeter out of all part in the crooked transaction. It also showed that Robertson is related to the physician's wife and that the physician never had an account iu the bank on which ho had drawn the check.

POOR IS RICH. An Inmate of a Massachusetts Reforma- tory Worth Millions of Dollars. Boston, April 23.—An evening paper says: "According to reliable information Frank Howard Poor, formerly of Haver- hill, and now an inmate of the Massa- chusetts Reformatory at Concord, is many times a millionaire, having recent- ly been left an estate which is worth $16,000,000. Some months ago Poor be- came disheartened and committed the crime of forgery, for which he was sent- enced to the reformatory for ono year. The vast wealth that has come into his possession comes to him through the will of Millionaire Howard of Nevada, the young man having been named after that gentleman. Other parties in Sacramento and Oakland, Cal., and Carson City, Nev., are said to be benefitted by the will. Poor is 24 years of age and has always been considered a bright young man. His asociations of late years have not been of the best and to that feet is attrib- uted his downfall He has one sister, Miss Kitty Poor, who is now living at Lynn, this state. His parents are dead.

London, April 28.—Tho Central News' correspondent in Tokio telegraphs a sum- nuLry of an imperial proclamation issued yesterday to the Japanese people. The Emperor says he is convinced that the peace concluded at Shimonoseki will pro- mote the national prosperity which has aver been his highest aim. The glorious result of the war has been achieved by the harmonious' efforts of the whole nation. 'I'he minis, he myhe y cl the people's representativesterstar, in tthe navDietauhitve done everything in their power to inake Japan strong, and ready to .roalizo the Emperor's aspirations. They had omit- ted nothing in perfecting the plans of national defence. The soldiers and sail- ors of the Empire lead won everlasting glory by their behavior abroad. They had advanced and fought unmindful of winter's bitter cold and summer's blazing heat and they had triumphed everywhere.. They had earned a worldwide reputation for discipline and humanity. No praise was too higlefor their loyalty [and valor and the glory both had added to the Em- pire. At the same time, ninth remained to be done in the march toward higher civilization. It was to be hoped that the loyal subjects of the Empire would realize this and would guard against the dangers of vanity and conceit. They should cul- tivate a spirit of modesty and humility and strive to perfect their military defen- ces, although without going to the ex- tremes of national armament. They should promote education and seek to -know the refinements, but not the effem- inacy of lice. Tho Emperor rebukes sharply those who in the intoxication of victory seem inclined to insult friendly powers and complicate the Empire's foreign relations. Now the breaches of faith had been re- pented, the exchange of the treaty rati- fications should inaugurate a period of forgiveness and friendship. Every en- deavor should be macro to live in peace and goodwill with the nations of the ear Theth. Emperor closes the proclamation with the statement that strict obedience to his wishes as indicated in this docu- ment will be exacted from all his sub- jects. China is Borrowing. Berlin, April 23.—The Cologne Gazette says the Chinese loan of 30,000,000 marks at 6 per cent. which has been concluded with a syndicate of German bankers, is merely a provincial transaction which was arranged some time ago by the Vice- roy of Nankin. The Chinese Government has openod negotations for an indemnity loan of £25.000,000 sterling with a syndicate of British, German and French bankers. The Koelnische Zeitung says that the German, French and Russian ministers in Tokio have addressed identical notes to the Japanese Government protesting in a friendly but energetic manner against the terms of peace. The Bear Still Growling. St. Petersburg, April 28. —The Novosti says that diplomatic action in the East will not suffice, and urges the Govern- ment to make a naval demonstration in East Asiatic waters, either alone or with other European powers. The Novoe Vrereya says: "In return for Germany's and France's support as . to territorial concessions, Russia will firmly back Ger- many's demands regarding commercial interests, and will support any action that France mag take to guarantee the position of Indo -Chin. "P' A word Froam aria. Paris, April 28.—The Temps says in a strongly worded leader on the terms of peace: "The treaty will constitute a per- manent menace to the interests of Europe. •It is a grave infringement on the rights of the owners whose possessions have a' common frontier with China, and Europe will find it difficult 'to understand or forgive the one western power that is selfishly holding aloof, and thus destroy- ing the efficiencyof the peaceful interven- tion of the others. An Ominous Order, London, April 23.—The Times' corres- pondent in Kobe says: "The leave •:of' all the officers of the Russian warships both here and at Nagasaki has been stopped and the crews are confined to their ves- sels.

Berlin April 28.—The Berlin press dons not discuss, condemn nor commend ex- plicitly the entente between Russia, Franco and Gormarzy in the- East. The Vossische Zeitung says England refrains from joint action because . she thoroughy grasps the situation in the East. The editor asks what would happen if Japan should refuse to yield to the demands of other powers. Ile speaks passingly of the "curious new triple -alliance" of "Euro- pean powers," and adds: "Above all, if Englandthe United and States sympa- thize with Japan they can easily adopt such an attitude in the inteinsts of their commerce that Germany will find herself in difficulty of her own seeking. Then German commerce will have to pay the piper." 'The Volks Zeitung says under the cap- tion "A leap in the dark:" "Russia would reap the main advantages from any joint action. It has not been proved that the new treaty injures Germany's interests in .', Theany Itrwayltlsh position, London, April 28.—The Times says: s too easily astumetl'tlhat the powers have the right to Step in at the conclu- sion.of the conditions of peace. The pres- ent appeal for a demonstration of the European concert is not justified prima facie either by precedent. or policy. We believe public opinion on the continent, as also generally here, will lot the ques- tion between China and Japan settle it- seif. We decidedly believe the 'Govern- ment wise in refraining •from any there in bringing pressure to boar upon the Japanese."
