The Huron Expositor, 1877-05-18, Page 6E I-JURON EXPOSITOR* New Zealand. ,The United. Statea tariff is almost pro- hibitory of in export trade hence to that ceuntry, save in the case of kauri gum, s special product, -which is largely con - flamed in manufactures in the Eastern States. Several American houses have commercialagents herewhobuy and ship direct. Formerly all purchases of this oommodity were made in. London, the American consumer paving double freights, double merchants' charges and double profits. They now have the ad - Vantage of a direct trade with Auckland Where purchases are made from the pro- tIlueers.

DIRECT TR AD g WITH CANADA. The Dominion Government and Parlia- ment are wiser in their generation than .American politicians, They are push-, ing out on all. sides to attract trade. The ;United States shuts its porta to foreign produce in the endeavor to make its peo- ple rich by living upon each other, and with about as substantial results, judging from your collapsed railway companies and other industrial enterprises, athe part of the Eastern . States, out off the potato crop so early in the season that the secoixtbrood of potato beetles found little to feed upou ; and millions must have perished before reaching the image or perfect state; still, -enough did find food to carry them through, and they are now hibernating 1 in safe quarters, ready to t come forth nip the tirat green leaf from this spring' planting. It all had per- ished with' one, two, or more States, their place would soon be supplied from without; therefore, there is no Safety in presuming that any particular lo- egion of countty,, is to be em during the coming pea - 1 cality, or free from t son. Farmers ence with any need o will do if allowed to have its own way. Either pois n or kill the beetles in some other may, or see the crop destroyed ; ts and as the is no other alternative, it is well to pre are the implements of war- fare before the appearance of the enemy. No other destructive agent has yet been discovered !so effective and cheap as Paris green, and120 years' experience in its use have ohowin that it can be employed with perfe t safety upon the vines with- -1out the lea f danger of injuring the tu- two Yankee traders who "made a pile" bers for fo d. by "swapping" knives in the dark. In- deed, the *al policy of the United States appears to be modelled upon the enlightened trading principle verified by the aforesaid Yankees. Canada acts dif- ferently. ' Its statesmen believes that the more trade and interchange they have the better it must be for their people. They don't object to take -advantage of their neighbors' requirements and make money out of their necessities. This is the free trade doctrine; but there is jest a linger-- ing touch of -cannibalism in the protec- tion doctrine so dear to the United States which insists upon a community eating each other. Canada has just sent down s commission to New Zealand and Aus- tralia'ith the view of opening direct trade aid interchange with the Dominion Hon. John Young, of Montreal, formerly Chief Commissioner of Public Works, under Earl Elgin's Administration, has been commissioned to represent Canada at the Sydney Exhibition. This gentle- man addressed a meeting of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce on his way to Sydneyj pointing out the advantage of di- rect trade between New Zealand .and Canada. To that end. he invited an in- spection of Canadian exhibits at Sydney, and hopes that a considerable trade will spring up between the two countries,thus passing the commercial cities of the Un- ited. States. Agricultural machinery and implements, it is said, may be bought more cheaply in 'Canada than in the States; SO, also, other articles of manu- facture. I don't know What the effect may be, but he createi a good impression, and as there are sev ral small Canadian colonies in this noun ry, he has active sympathisers. IMMIGRATION. . still keepa pouring people into this coun- try, although business of all kinds is un- usually dull. It went ahead too fast, built railroads, and multiplied liabilities, and. time must be given to consolidate af- fairs. No doubt it will come out all right ' in the end, but there is just now a tight squeeze; and many people are looking about for fresh,locations. As hard times are pretty general,I think most folks will face the music and remain where they are. SALMON, WHITEFISH AND TROUT. eyinghad personal experi- s insect, there is no longer telling them what it can and The second shipment of Lake Michigan whitefieh arrived in good condition. The fish eggs were forwarded to South New Zealand by coasting steamer, and placed in Makerawa, pOnds, Southland district. This shipment , was more fortunate than the first lot, having been packed in ice by Mr. J. C. Firth, President of the Auckland Acclimatization Society, oth- erwise they might hew died through no reparations having been made by the t overiment to preserve them along the coastin voyage.
