THE people of Canada are be- ginning to study the pzeservaton, of their political and commercial independence, and not any too`; soon. Of course the offer of un- restricted reciprocitS' may appear very well and feasible, but it would be 44 sat: error to barter the solid assurance of controlling their own destinies for what is at best, but an assumed advantage. It is plait, to be seen that a great economical IS ending In revolution di the United p States. A few facts and figures taken from American labor reports explain themselves. it is estimat- ed that there are in the Uuited States one nlilliou worthy, willing workman in enforced idleness. Out T,.EDE is not the slightest doubt that the .Provincial elections will. take place sometime en June, so that it behooves the political parties to exert themselves. The Equal Rights people who are censideriug the matter placing a candidate in the field, will requite to bestir them- selves. They have no organzaatton and early action will be necessary. of an estimated population of over sixty millions 7,67O$93 are engaged in agriculture of whom ten and one Osi.vsoo dealers in Canadian bar - 'ley are imploring Congress not to put so high a duty on that grain. They say it will ruin the trade of their port and destroy the large :deet of vessels engaged in convey- ing the grain front Canada. These representations are uo doubt cor- rect, but the destzuction of the barley trade with the 'United States will not so seriously affect Canadian growers. That Market Las ben Lalling for some time back, and the inttoiuctiou of two -rowed barley growing for the English market, instead of the sig: -rowed variety, hitherto grown for the American market, will merely melte a change of buyers to the advantage of Cat:adzan shipping and business generally, This is another proof of how the new 'United Mates tariff will work both ways. 11 the barley duty pleases them and doesn't hurt us, we can stand it. RESPLCTING ii:e election which is to take place on the loth ins t., to decide whether or not the council shall pass a by-law establishing a Produce market at the town hall, has it occurred to the council and others interested that none but free holders or those having a twenty year lease of property,ortS, are eligible to vote ? Truly there is no money being granted by way of bonus or loan ; but, while it is sought to change the accepted purpose of public property the same vote that granted the expen- diture of money for the purchase of such property has a moral, if not legal rightto decideasto whether said property shall be transformed and used for any other than the purpose originally intended. Tliis is a matter of great importance, as should the election proceed accord- ing to the arrangements already decided upon,and then it is found to be illegal, the cost to undo what might have been obviated with the exercise of a little deliberation, would be considerable. THE United States people, failing to court the favor of the true Cana- dians, by extending glittering bates, now seek to alarm us by practically cutting Canada off, commercially. As a sample of some of the stuff dealt out by U. S. newspapers, listen to this:— "Discriminating duties against the United. States are good or bad policy on Canada's part according to the end she has in view. If Canada aims at a com- mercial and industrial system independ- ent of the United States and peculiar to. herself, and if she has the resources, population and productive capacity ne- cessary to the maintenance of such a system, she may feel justified in under- taking a tariff war with us. If, on the other hand; she wants American capital, American goods and American markets she is taking a bad way of obtaining them . It is no answer to these sugges- tions to say that our tariff is injurious to Canada. So it may be. We are asking nothing of Canada. We have as yet no motive to treat her with especial con- sicleration." Canada is asking nothing of the United States, but on the other hand they have been asking favors of us. We are quite capable of taking care of ourselves, and the end will justify the means. halt per cent. are foreign born. The total number employed in manufactories is 3,837,1z2, thirty per cent, of whom are foreigners. During the last fifty years the public domain has decreased trout nine hundred million arable acres of laud to less tllau two hundred million acres. In the space of twenty-five years railways have absorbed s7 ,000,000 acres of land, ora territory as large as Eugland and France combined. A.t the sante time Congress bas granted to twenty-nine.ahen absentee landlords 20,647,00o acres, a territory equal to the whole area of Ireland. Native American landholders on a large scale hold still larger domains, some iudivlduals and companies holdiug 1, from one million to four millions tit acres. Nor is this all. Of the total number engaee I in agriculture namely, 7,070,493, only 2,954,306 are nominal owners of their hold- ings, the rest are tenants and laborers under great landlords. These figures give the United States the largest tenant !arming class of any nation in the world. It will thus be seen that the economi- cal conditions prevailing in the Republic aro not such as to encour- age the desire for sharing in their much vaunted advantages, while their evident tendency should warn us to beware of the dangers which they indicate and the political and social catastrophes they mustinevit- ably produce in the course of time. NETS NOTES. A 13i11 is before the Legislature of Wyoming to tax unmarried residents in the territory $2.50 a year, and is likely to become law. Promoters of the bill alleged that bachelors are not a desirable element in the population after they reach a certain age. The city of Halifax and town of Windsor, Nova Scotia, are contending over their fat women. Windsor has named four whose weight amounted. to 1,054 pounds and Halifax has trotted out four who weigh 1,066 pounds. Cape Breton can beat this. A Mrs. Houlet, of Wess Bay, tips the scale at380 pounds and a Mrs. McLeod, of Mirat, at 240. Mr. Dryden's dog bill has got through committee, and a pretty drastic measure it is. Under it a dor found worrying or wounding sheep may bs killed by any person. More than that ; any dog stray ing on any farm unless muzzled or ac- companied by the owner or some one in charge, may be done to death likewise. Still further, the dog which is found molesting or attacking any conveyance ou the public highway is liable to meet a like fate. If we may judge by the number of petitions pouring in on Congress against the proposed increase of duties on Cana- dian products, it would appear that those duties if enforced will be more injurious to Americans than Canadian Interests. Already the New Englanders have com- pelled the restoration of hides to the free list and have followed up their success with a demand for free iron, coal and coke. The petition to this erect is sign- ed by four hundred and sixty manufacl, turing concerns in New England, repre- senting the largest industries in these States. This petition is in effect a request for free importation of Canadian bituminous coal and Canadian iron and coker The practical effect of the duties on these articles is to prohibit the smelting of iron in New England, and statistics are cited to show that the tariff against Canada has caused a shrinkage of 40 per cent. in the iron and steel industries of New England during the last ten years, while those of the country' at large have increased 57 per omit. The effect of the duties has also been, it is stated, to produce a degradation of New England industries and injuriously affect seven hundred thousand people.. The. point to be noted in this connection is that New England, although it enjoys alI the advantages of protection from outside competition with free trade with all the States is in reality as completely' frozen out as Canada is. It must also be noted that if so important a section of the Republic is suffering as stated, what probability is there that Canada would be any better off were she placed in the same position? if Pennsylvania. can crush out New England competition could it not also destroy Canadian in- dustry in the same way and by similar methods 1 It will thus be seen that we .have t to t h e no travel a very far to find sub - r..., retaining our com mer- Attorn ey-Goneral Martin of Manitoba, i eras resigned. MUNICIPAL COUNCIL tl N INTFRESTINGG SESSION. The Board of Trade again seeks aid; and it is decided to allow the electors to settle the ques- tion. The village council met on Saturday evg, putsuattt to adjournment. All members were present. Minutes of previous meet- ing read and confirmed - Mr. Christie appe'• red before the Board to ascertain if there was any objection to his erecting a livery stable on Jamesat. at rear of brick building ou Main-st., the property recently purchased from the James Pickard estate. The by-law which governs the fire limits was referred to, and Mr. Christie was given permission provid- ing his new frame building be not attached to the other iii any way, as according to by-law, Mr. Billings then addressed the council, as deputed by the village band, concerning the annual grant, and said that the baud was willing to play nut -doors, at least one night per week, daring the summer months, providing the usual grant of $fill is extend ed. To a question he replied that there wasnaty a full inembership and that the band gave promise of being better than it ever vas; a new leader had been engaged and on the whole the organization would prove worthy of all nourtesies. Mr. liissettstated that the lana had been n fraud as to.keepingpromises, and suggested that it play during the mouths as i ientioned, fait if et the ease of the .sea- son the baud hail proved itself worthy of any consideration he would thea be in favor of the grant. Mr. Rtes thought it a fair propgosition-- tbat the hand be paid according to its merits. It was resolved that the requisition he considered at a future date. A deputation from the eouneil of the Board of Trade, consisting of Messrs R, IL Archer, .Tao Grigg. dna. Farmer, Jas. Parkinson and B. S. O'N'eil again waited upon the council re the earth market for small produce. Mr. Archer addressed tate cannel!, and desired information ns to the advice received as to the legality of the council establishingsuch a market at the Th town hall. e amarketvice received of a law firm in town was read, wilicb beldtbat the council had power in the mutter. That obstacle being overcome, Mr Archer asked that the petition be naw granted. Coons. Ilitsett, Ross and Oke had their doubts about the advice, eine° the statutes, in this eonnection implied other- wise. Mr. (Trigg asked that ff further advice on the matter substantiated that which hail already been received. would the council then accede to the request of pass- ing a by-law establishing the market ? Conn. Bissett would either submit the establishment of each a market by-law, to a vote of the people. or allow the Board of Trade the use of town hall grounds for six mouths to try the experiment ; and if, by that time, it proved a sueceas he wouled favor the bylaw. He thought it folly to pass a by-law before it was known whether the project would be a success. The deputation said it would be impossi- ble to proceed until the Board of Trude had more power. At present they said, there was noticing to prevent any man along the street putting out ashingle "Cash for Produce," and it was this they wished to prevent They desired that two days of eaeh week he set apart as market day. and that all people be compelled to go to the timrket to cell. Coun. Oke held it useless to establish another market. There was a market al- ready established and be would not favor the incurring of additional expense in the establishmeut of another. The town halt was built for a town hall and not a market. He understood that it was the intention of the Board of Trade to fetch a man from London to bay ; and jest why that loan cannot stand on the grain market and pur- chase produce with as much convenience as on the town hall property he could not understand. Farmers coming to town with grain would also bring produce and it would certainly be inconvenient for them to stand on one market to sell their grain, and when driven to the elevator. drive to another market todispose of their produce This is unnecessary when all could be sold at the one market. Mr Oke thcught there was a motive prompting this action on the part of the Board of Trade, other than the intrinsic interests of the town. He thought there was something personal in connection.. He would not take any actiou until the people by their votes had said yea. The deputation assured the council that the 13oard of Trade was working in the interests of the people in . general, and in justice to them it was asked that the mar- ket be established as centrally as possible. The reeve and coun. Spackman held that it would certainly be advantageous to have the produce market at the town hall -it would be more convenient for the majority of the people, the greater part of whom would participate in the buying. After some deliberation it was moved by coup Oke, sec by coun Spackman, that the advice of the people be taken, by vote, with regards the establishment of a market for small produce,. at the town hall.— Carried.. It was finally decided that the vote be taken on Thursday, April 10th. Coun• Speakman suggested that the usual booths be used, with returning officers and depu- ties as follows :L -Div .1, Mrs Edwarthy's house,; W. Sanders, D R 0 ; Div 2, Weekes' shop, W. D Weekes DR 0 ; Div 3, Market house, M..Eacrett R 0; Div 4, town hall, Thos. Hartnell, D R O.—Adopted. Moved by D. A Ross, sec by las. Oke; that the by-law confirming the election and appointment ofofficers be duly read and passed,—Carried. Moved by W G. Bissett, sec by Jas Oke that the returning officer receive $4, and the deputies $2 each. -Carried. • Moved by 11 Spackman, sec by Jas Oke, that orders be granted for the following sums :—lf A Follick. charity to Mark Clark, $1 56 ; Mrs. Balsden, snow plow, $1 50•; Mr Creech, charity to Mrs Piper, 2 weeks $4.; clerk, part salary. $25 ; also that Mrs McIntosh. be granted $2 per month. --Carried.
