Ignorance Which is Not
The ignorance of English statea
.tricei. of Canadian affairs, as dis-
played in the discussions in -the Do-
.
Minion Parliament, i6 certainly mat-
' velous. Whe.her this ignorance is
Ate -sinned or real, we knew not.
But from the glaring absutdIty of
the remark's of some of these hen-
. otable gentlemen, we are almost led
to believe that they are only .ignor-
ant when it would be folly to be
:wise. A remarkable illustration of
this ignorance,was given by Earl
De Grey:on. Monday. evening last:
during the discussion of the Wash-
ingtoreTreaty in the House of Lords.
This gentleman stated that "he con-
t‘sidered the question of commercial
"reciprocity between Canada and
"-`-elte United States as one of but
44 small importance., as the feeling in
favor of free beide is rapidly in-
" creasing in the neighboring Re-
" public." Now, 'if Earl De' Grey
knew anything of the etibject on
which he was sleeking, he iwould be
;aware that commercial reciprocity
between this country and the Unit-
ed States is of the most vital imper-
&trade to us. He would also. know
that withoutl these ttade relations
much of our prodnee, our roanufec-
tured goods and our minerals are
shut out from their legitimate mar-
ket. ITe would know, too, that we
must either cease producing these
articles, or pay the exorbitant duty
imposed upon theta by the United
States, as that 'country affords the
only market which we can obtain
for our surplus. The 'America -4
:know. this,. andthey are not slow to
take advantage of their favorable
position. Although they iequire
every article we have to - sell them,
.yet, having no other market, they
know we must sell., and eoneeqtaent-
ly, 'they can afford to wait longer to
•buy than we can afford to wait to
sell. The result is the Canadian
proancer pays the duty, not the
Atnericen consumer. The duty on
every car -load of steak sent from •
here to the Ilaited State t is paid by
the Canadian ferments prieies ir
the Aniericau market are regulated
en tiiely by tie At-lien:can supply,
not by the Canadian snpplee' Thus,
if ehe tduty were removed, the Ca -
dealer would pay, in iiioreased
price to the producer, what he now
pays iuto the United States Treas-
ury, m th' way' of. duty. As With
stovice so it is with evely other arti-
•cle we ship to the States. Yet, in
the face of this fact, an English
statesman pretends to consider the
-.question olcommercial reciprocity as
of but snail importance to is.
We do not believe . that "he
feeling in favor of free, trade" with
Canada is on the increase a mg the
people of the Utiibet States, and -it
hardly reasonable to suppose thItt
it should •be. We have already
shown that, under the existing state
of things, the Americans are gainers,
as they not only receive all they de-
sire from vs at their own prices, but
compel us to •contribute largely to
their, revenue. This being the case,
why should the Americans desire to
graut us free erade, unless we give
tle:fil a subetancial equivalent ia.te-
turn i They enjoy the free use of
our maekets for aluaost every article
they have to sell us, but., when we
nse- thetr markets, - we mast pay
dearly for the privilege.. Whnotdd
afford tire Americans certain
leges whilt ,would go far •to
induee thou to. grant us the
free tit& Of their .markets, but
English -statesmen are now ea -
de a veri n g to wrest these privi
kges from us, to barter them over
to the Americans in liquidation of
the Alabama: claims. Should Eng-
land saucee4 in carrying 'eat this
rategic gaiirie, Ca nada ma y bid
adieu to all hope of ever gaining re-
ciprocel Tree tattle, as tile United
States Will,Arera ha e all tlyeywant
from us, and would be Very foolish
to allow us the free tee) of their
markets when tiley can compel us to
ay fur the privilege.
Contingencies.
If the Washington treaty be rati-
fied by Greztt Britain, as it has al-
rekuly been by the United States;
and if the Parliament of Canada
tefuse to assent to those pot hurls af-
fecting Canadian iaterests, What
then ?
If the atria dian Parliamert, itt
detiaece of the wishes of an over-
wheluttng inejoritY of the Canadikee
people, give their. consent to the
Washipeton tie ty and we are.com-
pel:ed to submit to the, loss of the
'fisheries and theother humiliettions
enovided _in that docua.ent, Whet
then?'

persunted that owing to the fog, the

it wee an infritgement et* the com-
pany's rules toirun rip t a station

Operator at this station at once saw
and comprehended the, danger. If

The engineer a:nct fireman, with the
Conductor, wh.9 was on the engine,
„made herculean efforts to check the
peed, but it was all too late, No. 20
dashed with thrrible force against
the engine of No: 9, the engine of
the former mo4.nting the latter, and
a fearful scene ensued. Several
ears of both !trains were thrown
clown the bank, even No. 13 quiver-
ed the whole length of her fourteen
cars. D ou geld Cam pbell, engineer,
from Toronto, H. Ruid, the con-
ductor, frdni Brockville, of No. 20,

were killed -instantaneously. The
firema.n. of No. '20, Simons,. of To-
roata was horribly 'mangled, but
eurvived until 3:30 Monday •aftet-
noon.. He declared, shortly before
be died, that Campbell and Ruid,
the conductor and engineer, were
'eotely to blame. fur the disaster. 'The
engincer'e body was found pinned to
the boiler of the engine,- the bodies
of the conductor and immigrant
ameng the debris. The engineer
and fireman of No. 9 were injured
slightly, but no dangerous resells
are apirrehended.
By the coolness of the operator,
Mr. Allan, a more fearful calamity
was averted. Rad No. 20 been al-
lowed to run along the main line,
she would have struck the Pullman
car at the end of the express, and.
the loss oT life would probably have
beeu ten times greater than is now

The question naturally arises—if
the fog was so dense that the signal
eould not be seen by the conductor,
engineer and. fireman of No. 20;
Where were the fog signals.
After a. careful investigation,, the
Coronor's jury, on. Mon L, return-
ed a verdict td the effeet that the
accident was caused by, the negli-

of the immigrant train; who were

upon its members to avenge those
of their, brethren who Were killed

General Trochu made a lone defence
of his administretion, which he
'Stated that in August ho) had urged
the recall of Bazaine's army to Paris,
and that the Empress had opposed
Napoleon's return thither after the

of the manner 'in which he he had

when the latter was Minister of
War, and told of the difficulties
which beset him when defending

condition of the country is tuiserable

some strange and amusing features
are occasionally brought to light.
One very amusing feature is the

Ianjietial Parliament on Monday
t, but . the chief debate was In
the Rowe of Lords, where Elul
Rusell brought up his motion
aga net r tification. He ceecered into
1111 labor'Le defence of the policy of
Eneland during the war, and zebra
of his ow conduct, and cunderuned
the oxpre-sion of; regret respecting
the escap of the Alabama, and the
pri ciple, upon which the claims of
the Am deans are to be settled.
He held ihat Canada was unfairly
treated is -resmct to the fisheries,
and main ained that the British tm-
pire bad lost prestige by the nego-
tiation.?ail Granville thought the
tray w aid be favourable, and ad -
van acteo s to Canada. He eat-
piessed a regret a Canadittn Fenian

national ains woultt result from the

cated the motion of Earl "tassel' ;
the Marti ds- of Salisbury- did not -
offer any vigorous oppositi n to the

the Earl to withdraw his motion,
he did so and the debate ctinchided.
