The Huron News-Record, 1891-04-15, Page 4no Huron news -.Record giJieAYwr'.- 1!X•46leach/re es Wednesday, April 15th, 1891, ABOUT RECIPROCITY. It was said by the "foul -their own -nest "section of the Grit press of Canada, daring tho election cam paign, that Sir John A. Macdonald was only trying to humbug the people when he declared that he would endeavor to bring about a, "Renewal of the reciprocity treaty not 1854, with the modifications re quired by the altered circumstances of both countries, and with the ex tensions deemed by the commission ers to be in the interests of Canada and the United States." The Grits said he would never do so, but no sooner have the distrac tions incidental to the General elec- tions subsided than' Sir Charles Tupper on behalf of the Canadian Government, interviewed Secretary Blaine for the purpose of discussing the matter. Then the Grit press came again to strengthen the hands of the Americans. They stated and re- peated that Sir John would do no- thing that the Americana would agree to. They sent despatches to .Washington that if the Americans would not. treat with Sir John's couunissioneis they would soon have everything their own way— that the people of Canada were be- coming so impatient that Sir John would have to abandon any condi- tion] in a treaty with the States, al- though Sir John outlined the only sort of treaty the people of Canada would submit to or that would last any length of time—a treaty in the interests of Canada and the United State.,. Now what right have the trai- tor press of C ruada to sty that Sir John would propose only such a treaty as he knew the Americans would not accept. Are not the words plain t A treaty in the in- terests of Canada and the United States. No given number of words could express a fairer kind of treaty. Volumes could not elaborate more clearly the basis of a reciprocity treaty—a treaty of mutual advan- tage. But the Grits do not want a tree. ty of mutual advantage, therefore they are doing all they can to jaun- dice American sentiment atzainst Sir John and Canada. The Grits, as we have said, do not want a fair treaty. They want a treaty that will give the Americans an undue advan- tage so that they can down Sir John befute the people of Canada. They are trying to neutralize the efforts of the Cauadiau commission- ers at all points. Last week Mr - Blaine appointed a day to meet Sir Chas. Tupper, Hon. J. D. Thomp- son and Hon. G. E. Foster, on be- half of Canada. These gentlemen went to Washington at, the time ap- pointed. But the meeting has been postponed until October for the reason the President Harrison want- ed to be present, while he could not owing to his having arranged for a trip to the `Vest and Califor- nia. The Grit press are making merry over this alleged miscarriage of negotiations. But there is uo miscarriage because they were never commenced. If there was, whose fault is it? Certainly not that of Sir John A. Mcdonald or his commissioners. The same Grit influences that were at work prior to the elections by Canadian traitoes at Washington to bring about a political union have again been at work to prevent Can- ada holding her own. But whether in October 1891, or if it takes until October 1991, Can- ada will hold her own and never consent to a trade treaty other than one of reciprocity or mutual advan- tage. Aud the sooner the Atner- icansknow this the sooner will they agree to a fair deal. • EDITORIAL NOTES. "Sugar makers are calculating that Quebec Province will supply 15,000,000 pounds of thia season's crop." If we had a two cents a pound bounty on home -produced sugar, the same as they have in the States, Quebec world get on this the sweet little sum $300,000 out of the Dominion treasury. By the way, if sugar is cheaper in the States than A ja fl-fa.4t I-1, onst,,the,.con... aurn,r ally leafs thee when. lie buyq° it for 6 cants ft pound atla pays 2, 'cants a pound bounty, that it would if he paid 7 eente a pound for it and no bounty. -According to the statistics just public, 152,413 persons emigrated front the British Isles to tee United States in 1890, while 22,520 elmgrat- ed from there 'to British America in the same year. That is the immi, gration to Canada from Britain was about 100 per cent. greater than to the United Status, population con- sidered. M. E. McLean was sentenced at Brookville last week to seven year's' imprisonment for taking away the household goods of W. H. Arnold, with whose wife he eloped. This looks very much as though the law endorsed the parody : "Ile who steals a man's wifo steals trash, but he wha steals a man's household goods taketh that which makes the husband poor indeed." The Ontario Educational Reports show that the grants to common schools have not increased in pro- portion with the increase of popular tion. In 1870 those grants amount• ed to $161,045: In 1890 they reach- ed $224,198. While the population increased 50 per cent, and the total outlay of the department 104 per cent, the aunts contributed by the government to the eotuu.on schools of the province increased by only 39 per cent. I',ar's soap, English made, and sold in Eugland at 12 cents per cake, pays a high duty for admis- sion to the American market, and is sold there regularly at 10 cents, and occasionally at 5 cents. IIence "the tarill duty has .not added to the price." A hundred other articles of English snake soli at as low, or lower, rates in America as in England, after paying tariff duties for admission to American markets. It has been said the Americana can't raise flax hemp and jute, But they do raise it and are yearly increasing their product:on and ex— portation of them. The American exports of flax,hetnp and jute for five years previous to 1889 were $1,430,- 712. In 1890 they were $2,094,- 807. Canadians have surely as good facilities for exporting flax to other countries as the Americana have and as good business capacity as they have. Why then depend on the Americans to handle our Canadian flax and give them the profits when we can export it our- selves. Toronto Globe :—"Liberals and Tories alike congratulate Mr. Van borne on his enterprize in securing an entrance to Now York. But how does ho reconcile this last move to secure unrestricted trade with the Yankee nation for the Canadian Pacific 'with his manifesto to the Canadian electors, in which be said in substance that unrestricted com- merce would in all likelihood ruin the Canadian farmers." This is al- moet too funny for anything. Be- cause Van. Horne wants and has se- cured an entrance to New York city so as to enable the C.P.R.to compete for American trade on American soil, this is an argument in favor of the contention that unrestricted recipro- city would benefit the Canadian fanner ! Can't see Globe argu- ment. Barnum, - the prince of humbugs, is dead. He was successful because he frankly acknowledged that ho intended to humbug the people, and they paid their money to find out if he could do it. He did not deceive them ; he gave them the worth of their money ; he gave • them what they wanted—a gocd show, and the most acceptable part of it was generally that in which the public knew they were being humbugged. But humbugs aro not all dead yet. Sir Richard Cart- wright is still in the land of the living ; and very still—the public hardly hear of him since hia unsuc- cessful attempt to humbug the Canadian people at the late elec- tions. He is"a inixer and muddler" even as the Globe aforetime said. When he apes statesmanship he mixes it too liberally with dema- goguism ; when he tries to humbug he meddles it so clownishly that his traitorism becomes painfully transparent. To be successful as a statesman or a humbug requires genius. Sir Richard is not a .-gentue•, ,, ,-a ..o,._,r.. .-o ...._,....—. . • Dominig revenue for nine menthe up' .tq; lif'n!e1; .1891. ryas. $281225,284; expenditure during same period $22,707,897 ; surplus $5,517,995. • Hogs dying of. cholera in the States, human beings dying of trichinosis from eating diseased pork,oattle dying of Texas fever and tuberculosis, and yet Americana feel aggrieved because their pork and live stock cannot be admitted into foreign countries unless under stringent sanitary regulations. Every day we find accounts of immigrants from the United States settling in Canada. They are corn- ing into the Northwest, into Quebec and into Ontario. Many of them are deluded Canadians whom the Grits had made disgusted with their own country. Of 130 new comets to Woodstock last year 109 were Cauadians returued from the United States. The Unite+! States last year ex- ported hog products, beef products, dairy products and cattle to the value of $167,525,637. And that is the couutry that is alleged to be hungering and thirsting for eimilar Canadian farm products. It don't look "in the natur' u' thiugs" that wheu they hevu su much to sell that want ours very badly. Watson, tete ouly Grit elected be- tween Lake Superior and the Pacific Ocean, has ou a recount 46 of a majority. Boyd, the Conserva- tive candidate, lost 95 votes which wore disallowed because the de- puty returning officers had number- ed the ballots on the back. There were a few for Watson spoiled in a similar way. If it had nut boon for the blundering ot' the deputies the Consorvtive candidate would have been elected by 37. It is a pity there is no way to remedy the thwarting of the will of the people by such a merely technical viola- tion of the Election act, Last week a grand reception was given at Lunen to Mr.Ilutchius,M,P. elect for North Middlesex. Among the speaker's was Mr. Patrick Breen, representing the Catholic Conserva• tives of Biddulph. He said he "was simply a plain farmer. Ile had, however, taken some trouble to study up the policy of both sides, and he had no hesitation in saying that the policy of Sir John A. Mac- donald was the true one for the future welfare of the Dominion. He could not be a party to the com- bination policy of Cartwright and Laurier. Why? Because it would eventually load to our severance from the British Empire. It meant annexation under the Stars and Stripea. Although a farmer he could not be so foolishly selfish as to support any party in their endeavors to ruin our tnanufacturers by allowing this country to he the slaughter market for American combivations and trusts. From 1873 to 1878 farmers had to pay $300 for a binder. To•day he could buy a better one for one•half the money." The Globe :—"•If as some of the Tory organs now say the Govern- ment do not want reciprocity, they went to the country on false pre- tences". It is quite true that some of the Tory organa, that is the old mossback Grit organs, do say that the "Government do not want reciprocity." But the Liberal Con- servative organs do not say so. But the Government want a mutual advantage or real reciprocity. Whether they will get it or not remains for the Americans to say. You can offer water to a horse but you cannot make him drink, The Canadians will repeat their offer for a"Renewal of the reciprocity treaty of 1854, with the modifica- tione required by the altered circum- stances of both countries, and with the extensions deemed by the com- miasionere to bo in the interests of Canada and the United States." But they cannot compel the Ameri- cans to either consider or arrange such a treaty, and the mossback, Tory—Grit press are doing their level best to thwart the laudable and patriotic efforts of the Goaern• ment and Canadian Commissioners. The Toronto Telegram advises Jas. L. Hughes, Public school In- spector of that village, "to quit work in which his whole heart should be and go hunting eggs" If J. L. adopts the advice of the Telegram let him come to Clinton where he will find eggs as is eggs— eggs weighing a quarter of a pound each—egge quite different,. too,from the very highly scented ones which Ilett, ¥inieter Qf Education, Wae.b'.ip on Eoas;:waa very neatly, Mule acquainted with, when in a two houra' diatribe of' political brie• representation on the platform in Clinton, during the recent Domin- ion elections, he degraded the office he holds and posed for the edifica- tion of the youth of this country as au unconscionable demagogue of the first water. A Methodist clergyman of Wood- stock recently made a convert from the Baptist church- The convert wished to be 'baptized into Metho- dism by immersion, or probably to have the old faith washed off him before he put the new on. The Methodist parson took him to the river and dipped hint in. Some papers praise the liberality of the parson. It is hard to see where the "liberality" comes iu. The, water was cold, ice blocks floating around. If it were the parson that was vicari- ously "dipped" for the convert there might be liberality in the action. The parson was about as liberal as the member of "the home gusrd" who was willing to sacrifice all his wife's relatives on the altar of his couutry, but was quite content to never suiff powder himself. According To the United Status constitution, the Federal Govern- ment cannot bring to punishment the men who murdered the Italiana in New Orleaus, should the State fail to prosecute them. Aud if a money indemnity is paid to Italy for the murder of its citizens, the Federal Government would have to pay it. Thus Massachusetts and other States would pay their quota tuwar•ka reliubursiiig the families of men murdered through the couni vance of the authorites of a State whose actions they or the Federal Government are in nu way r'eapon aible for. it is said by some that if Mr. Cameron of West Huron could be unseated, which is within the range of possibility, that there would be no nee in doing so, as his majority was large. But it is an abnormal majority. It is not indicative of the will of the people. Factious differences among Conservatives and the liberal use of shekels and lies by their opponents built it up. The people of West IIuron have already found out how they were deceived. It is true that some peo- ple can be deceived all the time, and all the people can be deceived sometimes, but all the people, nor a majority of them, cannot be deceiv• ed all the time, and were I1r. Cameron unseated he would find this out. Editur• New -Record. SXR,—Just after the election I called attention through your paper to the march of the Cameron mcu through the streets of Clinton, from tavern to tavern, headed by the doughty champion of prohibition, Mr. 1L1. C. Cameron, M. P. At that time I Heti' the preeeasien was incomplete because the W. C. T. U. folk of Cliuton, who on a previous occasion endorsed Mr. Catneron as their champion, were not there or eleo they "should be coiteieteot and bring him to task for his de- fection from their ranks." "White Ribboner," a lady I presume, say, the W. C. T. U. in Juae 1885 ww,te & letter to Mr. Cameron in which 'they thanked Mr. Cameron for his aesietaude in sup- port of temperance legislatien and hoped he would contiuue to exert his influence in preventing the final passage of the beer and wine amendment to the Canada Temperance (Scott) Aot.' I have made inquiry and cannot find any one to tell me that Mr. Catneron ever did exert his influence , in the ilirection indicated. "White Ribboner" says the W. C. T. U. would have written a similar letter •'to M r. Porter or any other gentleman eec s - eying hie position and voting as Mr. Cameron did." Though I cannot find that Mr. Cameron voted as alleged, 1 can find that Mr. Porter did vote both against the repeal of the Scute Ant and against the beer and wine amendment. If there was no politics in endorsing .rt r. Cameron, why waa not Mr. Porter thanked ? "White Ribboner" nays no one de- plores the eight which was witnessed on the day I referred to more than the mem- bers of the W.C. T. U." I will he gener"u enough to admit that, but I think they shoutd have censured Mr. Cameron for making himself the public champion of the treating system, as they had before thanked him for his alleged temperance votes. I have a great respect for the W, C, T. U. and that is why I regret they have placed themselves in a false position in this matter. I have very strong rbjeotione to the treating system. It fs the greatest stumbling block to temperance reform It is really the first realise of much of tho drunkenness that prevails. And to see the member eleot for Weal Huron, the thanked and petted champion of the W. C. T. U. and temperance legislation, parade the streets with a large following with the avowed and carried out purpose of treat- ing at the various taverns, was each a glaring Violation of the well known principles of alt temperance people, that I did expect a stronger remnnetrenoe from the W. C. T. U and "White Rihboner" than that they mere- ly "deplored the sight." Mr. Cameron is a pubiie man occupying an elective position and it would hevu been in order, it would be in order now to con- demn him for what f think was immoral oondnot in his glorying in the abomin- able, misery producing end soul destroy- ing practice of treating to nogigaa. .._, Sgourereepieotthtuy,nt NON POLITICAL.
